Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 373 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 18

As the head of Xiaoying Pavilion, Chu Yuan does not need to worry about many of his matters. As long as Chu Nian gives an order, there are many people willing to serve him.

Especially for children of this age who are in adolescence, if you control their lives too much, it might cause them to develop a rebellious mentality.

So what Chu Yuan, as his sister, has to do is to give him correct guidance when he is confused, give him timely care when he is frustrated, and prevent him from going down the path of evil.

After all, the original owner's reborn younger brother is a complete villain.

"Ok."

Although he had doubts about the ability of his sweetheart's younger brother, Zhou Xianjin decided to be obedient. After all, he had just felt the price of angering his sweetheart, and he didn't want to feel it again.

"By the way, how is Xuanming?"

"Your secret guard leader? I have taken him under my command. If you need any help in the future, you can just hand it over to him."

Oh, huh? Zhou Xianjin is quite capable. He was able to steal the prince's right-hand man. Chu Yuan gave him a thumbs up.

"What does this gesture mean?"

Oh, I forgot that ancient people couldn't understand modern Internet slang, Chu Yuan could only explain it to him again: "It means to praise you for being awesome and great."

Zhou Xianjin felt a little complacent. Chu Yuan praised him for being so great. Did it mean that he was of some importance in her heart?

This thought gave Zhou Xianjin great encouragement, and he left Fengyue Tower with full energy, ready to go back and deploy the next arrangements as soon as possible, strive to complete his plan of revenge for his sweetheart as soon as possible, and then win her back.

However, not long after he walked out, he seemed to suddenly remember something, walked back from another direction, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears and came to Chu Nian's room.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Zhou Xianjin keenly sensed the unnatural flow of the air around him. He then used his hidden strength to block the three silver needles that were shooting straight at his eyes.

"You're so cruel? Does your sister know?"

"How dare you mention my sister?" Don't think he doesn't know that this is the man who stays in his sister's room until late at night every night before going back.

Although he had eavesdropped several times, the two of them did not do anything inappropriate.

But! Staying in a woman's room until late at night is not a gentleman's behavior. This stinky man dared to have evil thoughts about my sister, so he must be punished.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Chu Nian's hand was unsheathed and pointed directly at Zhou Xianjin's vital point.

At this moment, Zhou Xianjin felt the sharpness of the sword energy and immediately retreated violently. At the same time, he blocked his attack and shouted in a low voice: "Stop it, do you want to make the relationship between me and your sister known to everyone?"

This sentence hit Chu Nian's sore spot. What he feared most was that if he ruined his sister's plan, his sister would blame him.

The family affection that he had obtained after going through so much hardship and being reborn must not be destroyed like this.

So he will definitely use all means to keep his sister firmly under his wings.

It has to be said that Chu Nian's idea coincides with Zhou Xianjin's, and this is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xianjin came back tonight.

"Your elder sister said you were very powerful before but I didn't believe it. But today I see that it's true. You are so young but your martial arts skills can rival mine. No wonder your elder sister always looks so proud when she mentions you. So I feel relieved to leave some things to you."

After all, he was his future brother-in-law, so Zhou Xianjin dared not offend him easily, so he had to speak to him in a flattering manner.

Chu Nian was flattered by these words, and his dissatisfaction with this man was reduced a little, especially after he knew that his elder sister had praised him a lot in front of this man, he felt even more proud.

"Is there something you want me to do?"

"Correct."

The two men conspired in the room for a whole night and finally worked out a detailed plan to deal with the prince, of course, without telling Chu Yuan.

So not long after, when Chu Yuan was preparing to find an opportunity to meet the prince and pass on the false information in his hands to him, he heard the news that the prince was confined to the Eastern Palace.

It had only been three days since she last returned to the Dark Guard Camp. This incident happened a little too suddenly.

So as soon as night fell, Chu Yuan changed into his night clothes and prepared to go to the Prince's Mansion to find out what was going on.

But just as he jumped out of the window, he was bumped into by Zhou Xianjin. The two of them bumped into each other by coincidence, one going up and the other going down. "Hey, where are you going?"

Chu Yuan shook off the big hand on his waist, then leaned against the wall leisurely: "I went to the Prince's Mansion to check on the situation. Why was he suddenly confined?"

"Oh, no need to go. I came here today just to talk to you about this matter. Let's go upstairs and talk first."

After returning to the room, Zhou Xianjin first made himself a pot of tea. His slow movements made Chu Yuan anxious: "Come on, tell me, what happened?"

After drinking the tea in his hand, Zhou Xianjin finally satisfied Chu Yuan's curiosity: "Good thing, before we made any move, the crown prince offended His Majesty by embezzling disaster relief funds. He was ordered to stop all his work and be confined to the East Palace to reflect on himself."

Embezzlement of disaster relief funds? If Chu Yuan remembered correctly, droughts had been frequent in the northwest region recently, and many people had starved to death.

This prince is really courting death. He has caused such a big mess at this critical juncture. Just confining him to reflect on himself is too easy for him.

However, Chu Yuan also understood that, after all, he was the crown prince of a country. As long as he did not commit a heinous crime, in the end, big things would be reduced to small things.

However, the emperor is not without bottom line. Once or twice is fine, but is he going to tolerate him making mistakes again and again? When the emperor can no longer tolerate it, all the past events will come to his mind, and the prince's end will surely be very miserable.

This house arrest is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go.

As the Crown Prince was under house arrest, the task of disaster relief naturally fell on the shoulders of the Ninth Prince. As long as he seized this opportunity to perform, he would surely leave an image of a man who was loyal to the emperor and loved the people in the hearts of the people.

For Chu Yuan and Zhou Xianjin, it is a win-win situation.

"Okay, I have to go back quickly. There are still a lot of things waiting for me at the Ninth Prince's place. You just stay in Fengyue Tower obediently these few days and don't act rashly."

After saying this, Zhou Xianjin jumped out of the window and left. Now that the prince was in trouble, it would be better not to let others know that he came to Fengyue Tower to meet Chu Yuan, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Moreover, the task of disaster relief fell on the Ninth Prince, and Zhou Xianjin had to run around, so he probably wouldn't have time to come during this period.

Fortunately, the prince is under house arrest and probably has no time to cause trouble for Chu Yuan. She should be able to live in peace for a few days.
