Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 185 How long can you be proud?

"Fifth brother, I don't understand either. Aren't you weak and sickly?"

Pei Yunzhao threw the purple grapes into his mouth, a smile appeared on his lips, and he looked at Pei Yunqing indifferently.

He had never taken a serious look at Pei Yunqing in the past, and never thought he would be a threat.

I didn't expect that this little guy had grown claws and started biting people.

interesting.

A hint of interest flashed across Pei Yunzhao's eyes, and he finally looked at him straight in the eye.

"Third brother, that was a long time ago. One cannot remain weak and sickly forever. What's the point of living like that?"

Pei Yunqing smiled good-naturedly, as if he really didn't care what Pei Yunzhao said or whether he had any malicious intent.

Pei Yun looked after him for a while before he began to laugh.

"Xiao Wu, this is truly a case of looking at someone with new eyes after three days of absence. When you saw me during the autumn hunt, you seemed to be quite reserved, but these past few days you've become quite talkative."

Just as Pei Yunzhao said, although he seemed to be trying his best to protect Gu Jiaorong at that time, he didn't even put in one tenth of his effort at the banquet.

Pei Yunqing didn't really want to protect Gu Jiaorong, he just wanted to please Pei Xu.

If he really wanted to protect Gu Jiaorong, how could he let Pei Yunzhao cling to her for so long until Pei Xu appeared?

"Thank you for the compliment, Third Brother."

Pei Yunqing responded with a smile and did not refute.

"I think Third Brother is different now than he was that day. He looks even more charming and dashing."

What he said didn't sound like a good thing, but Pei Yunzhao accepted it all.

"Xiao Wu, you should know that the purpose of life is to enjoy life. You are still young, so you should enjoy the prosperity of the world instead of imitating others to calculate and compete with each other."

No matter how dissolute Pei Yunzhao was, he was not someone who could not see the situation clearly at the moment.

Pei Yunqing was not surprised to hear this, as he had long known what kind of person his third brother was.

"Third brother, I naturally want to be happy, but I haven't got what I want yet, so how can I be happy?"

Pei Yunqing's eyes were burning, and he looked at Pei Yunzhao with a deep look.

Pei Yunzhao subconsciously felt that what he wanted was what he had, so he acted like a mature brother.

"Xiao Wu, I know you brought me here for a reason, but as a brother, I have to say a few words. We are not fools. We should think before doing anything to avoid regrets in the future. You should let me go as soon as possible. It will be better for both you and me."

Pei Yunzhao didn't want to stay here any longer. Not only were there no beauties or fine wine here, he didn't even have freedom.

He doesn't want to live like this forever, and he can't stand this kind of life.

As the third prince, he has lived a very luxurious life since childhood.

"I'm sorry, Third Brother, I can't let you leave right now, but if you give He Guangquan to me, I can consider letting you go early."

Pei Yunqing naturally would not really let him go. He didn't need to tell him which one was more important, He Guangquan or the barracks.

After all, He Guangquan will not be loyal to him, but those soldiers may not be.

Now that Pei Yunzhao's crime has been exposed, these people may not be able to survive unless they change their master and move their position.

People are selfish at heart, and fear of death is their nature.

Pei Yunqing didn't believe that they would be so loyal without Pei Yunzhao's protection.

After all, most of them had never seen Pei Yunzhao.

"Xiaowu, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Although Pei Yunzhao knew that Pei Yunqing had been planning against He Guangquan for a long time, he did not expect that he would put the matter on the table and negotiate terms with him openly.

"Third brother, I didn't drink when I came here, so I naturally know what I'm talking about. Since I've already brought you out, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Pei Yunqing nodded with a smile and brought up the issue directly.

"You've been taken out for such a long time, and Pei Xu and Hu De haven't made any moves. Could it be that they haven't found your hiding place? It's only because they know that I took you away that they didn't come to rescue you."

Pei Yunqing's words were vague. If Pei Yunzhao was a suspicious person, he would probably think that the two people were standing behind him.

But this is obviously not the case. Neither Pei Xu nor Hu Dequan has any intention of taking sides.

"Do you think I will listen to your one-sided words?"

Pei Yunzhao looked at him calmly, and Pei Yunqing was not impatient.

Although he didn't have much brains, he had put a lot of thought into Pei Xu and naturally knew his temper. Pei Yunqing's way of flattering him would never impress Pei Xu.

"I know that although you are small, you are ambitious. It's normal for you not to be suppressed by your two brothers. I was unwilling to bow down to the prince at the beginning, but you can't wait to take action against your brothers at this time. Don't you think you are a little too impatient?"

Pei Yunzhao knew from the beginning that this day would come between the brothers, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon, and even Xiaowu was the first to take action.

Pei Yunqing only regretted that he was young, otherwise he could have taken action earlier.

"Third brother, I don't feel that I'm in a hurry. On the contrary, I just feel that my movements are too slow."

Pei Yunqing's words were sincere, and it was obvious that he was not being perfunctory.

"If I were your age, I wouldn't be so restrained right now."

Pei Yunqing hated his current situation. He couldn't wait to swallow up Pei Yunzhao's power, even if it required some payment.

"I admit, if you were about our age, you might be better at pleasing Father than I am. But Xiaowu, sometimes luck is also a form of strength. Who told you that you can't reincarnate?"

Pei Yunzhao laughed. He always felt that his background was no worse than that of the prince, and compared with Pei Yunqing in front of him, he was even more superior.

"Third brother, now that you've fallen into my hands, how long can you be so proud?"

Pei Yunqing tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.

He didn't think Pei Yunzhao could turn the tide and change the current adversity.

Of course Pei Yunzhao couldn't do it, he was just a playboy and a good-for-nothing.

"Xiao Wu, my pride won't last long. But if your hands are stained with my brother's blood, you won't be able to sit in that high position."

Pei Yunzhao said this with certainty, for he knew his father's taboo, which was that they would not be allowed to kill each other.

"Third brother, I won't kill you."

Pei Yunqing had no intention of killing, he just refused to let Pei Yunzhao go.

If Pei Yunzhao left this place, he would end up losing more than he gained, so he had to keep Pei Yunzhao under control.

"Besides, I ordered people to rescue you and bring you here, and I feed you well. Don't I treat you badly?"

Pei Yunqing spoke in a high-sounding manner, not caring whether Pei Yunzhao agreed with him or not.

Pei Yunzhao refused to confess, and Pei Yunqing was unable to torture him to extract a confession, after all, he was still his third brother.

If Pei Yunzhao knew what he was thinking, he would probably say: Now you know that I am your third brother.

However, Pei Yunqing had no intention of giving up.

He sat down and calmly analyzed the current situation with Pei Yunzhao.

"Third brother, even if you return to the capital, you won't have another chance. It's better to give me your men and soldiers. If I succeed in the future, I will definitely treat you well and make you a rich and powerful prince. Isn't that better than the current outcome?"

What Pei Yunqing said was true, but Pei Yunzhao didn't believe him.

"It's useless to tell me this. I won't agree to it, and you don't have to waste your breath."

Although Pei Yunzhao was clueless and unwilling to listen to He Guangquan's nagging, he would never hand He Guangquan over to someone else. If He Guangquan knew about this, he would probably be furious to death.

Pei Yunzhao was not unaware of how He Guangquan treated him.

Thanks to He Guangquan, he was able to fight with the prince back and forth over the years and live a romantic life for so many years.

Pei Yunzhao knew that he was a worthless person, but he was not completely without conscience.

"I still say the same thing. If you have the ability, then snatch these things you covet from me. If you don't have the ability, then just take a few more glances at them and don't expect me to give them to you."

These are the results of He Guangquan's hard work over the years, and are also the path paved for him by his mother.

Pei Yunzhao could not let his mother down, nor could he let down He Guangquan's loyalty.

"Third brother, I really didn't know you had such a backbone."

Pei Yunqing looked at him with great interest, as if he was seeing him for the first time.

Pei Yunzhao also stood there and let Pei Yunqing look at him. He was not afraid of being looked at anyway.

"Just consider it as backbone."

Pei Yunzhao did not argue. It was his integrity and his conscience. What difference did it make?

He didn't feel that there was any difference between him and others, he was still himself.

But if Pei Yunqing insists on thinking so, it's not impossible.

Pei Yunzhao felt that he was a good brother who doted on his younger brother, even though their brotherhood was so fake.

"Humans are really strange creatures. Third brother, you are so unruly and unrestrained, but you can also have some backbone. This is really incredible."

Pei Yunqing was as arrogant as ever. He looked down on everyone in the world and always felt that they were no match for him, especially Pei Yunzhao, who was only good at eating, drinking and having fun.

But such a person is now rebelling against him!

Pei Yunqing's heart was filled with dissatisfaction, and this emotion was revealed in his eyes when he looked at Pei Yunzhao.

"Whatever you say, my attitude has been made clear. If you want to release it, then do it. If not, then don't get in my way."

Pei Yunzhao was too lazy to pretend to be a close brother to him. They were not born of the same mother and did not grow up together, so how could they have any feelings for each other?

Pei Yunzhao thought it was ridiculous, but people are always hypocritical.

In the past, when He Guangquan begged him to learn some polite words, he always turned his head in disdain. But now he has become so patient.

Thinking of this, Pei Yunzhao couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Pei Yunqing saw that his expression was changing unpredictably, so he thought he was up to something and was even more reluctant to leave.

"Third brother, don't be like this, we are brothers after all."

Pei Yunqing bared his teeth and smiled brightly.

But Pei Yunzhao had lost his patience and naturally didn't fall for his tricks.

"Although we are brothers, we can really kill each other when we are ruthless. I think it is better for us not to be together, so as to avoid one of us dying accidentally."

Pei Yunzhao didn't want any accidents to happen now, he hadn't enjoyed enough yet.

"Third brother, you hurt my heart so much when you say that."

Pei Yunqing blinked but did not deny it.

"If you cooperate, Third Brother, we will still be good brothers, and you won't die."

Pei Yunzhao smiled sarcastically when he heard this.

"Why are you still dreaming?"

His attitude is very clear, he will never give in on this matter.

"Third brother, are you really not afraid of death?"

Pei Yunqing seemed to be irritated by him and asked such a question.

But Pei Yunzhao was not someone who could be frightened. This sentence did not change his expression. He still looked so calm.

"Do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, how will you explain to Hu Dequan and Pei Xu? Do you really think Pei Xu is a good person who can be deceived by your words?"

Pei Yunzhao sneered. He and Pei Xu had known each other since childhood, so naturally he knew Pei Xu better than Pei Yunqing.

Pei Xu was their greatest obstacle, a figure even his father considered a thorn in his side. Whether it was due to past court matters or because his achievements had overshadowed the emperor, someone like Pei Xu should no longer be allowed to live.

"Of course I know they don't believe me, but in their eyes, Third Brother, you were rescued by your old subordinates. Even if something happens to you, it's not my fault."

This was also Pei Yunqing's original idea. He wanted to kill people, but he couldn't ruin his own reputation.

"Xiao Wu, I really underestimated you."

Pei Yunzhao stopped laughing and looked at Pei Yunqing with a stern gaze.

"But don't forget, I didn't leave voluntarily. Even if Hu Dequan can't come up with an idea, he can't delay any longer. He must gather his men to rescue me within three days."

What Pei Yunzhao said was true. In fact, Hu Dequan was already getting a little restless.

"So what? Who would believe it?"

Pei Yunqing said with all his strength that he couldn't let Pei Yunzhao see even a glimmer of hope.

"As long as Father believes it, it doesn't matter whether others believe it or not."

Pei Yunqing had already placed people around the emperor, so he was not afraid of the plan failing.

"Third brother, you are now a criminal. The seeds of suspicion have already been planted in the heart of the emperor. Therefore, even if you add a few more charges, I think it will not be a big deal."

Pei Yunqing was actually not satisfied with the emperor's reaction, and even felt that the emperor was a little biased.

The emperor valued his power so much that he should have killed Pei Yunzhao, who challenged his authority, even if he was his son. But the emperor softened his heart, just like thousands of ordinary fathers.

"How the emperor deals with me is his business, not yours."

Pei Yunzhao still maintained a condescending look, as if he didn't even look down on Pei Yunqing.

"You are right, so my father ordered Hu Dequan to take me back safely, and then I will return to the capital safely."

As long as he returns to the capital, he won't have to be so controlled by others.

Pei Yunzhao didn't like this feeling, but he was a flexible person and could survive in such a situation.
