The Third Prince quickly learned of the incident between Sikou Ming and Zhao Chuchu.
Naturally, the prince already knew what Sikou Ming’s true intention of visiting Guangqing Province was.
He looked at Qiao Heting and said, “Just as always, the Sikou clan still worries about what I’ll do. But what can Sikou Ming do? Could it be that Sikou Zhendong has no one else to trust, so he has no choice but to let Sikou Ming come? Don’t you think it’ll be interesting if Sikou Ming dies here? In Guangqing Province?
“Third Brother, are you going to make a move on Sikou Ming? But that’ll drag Zhao Chuchu into it. Xie Heng would never agree to it. You better think twice. Getting on his bad side is not good,” Qiao Heting persuaded.
Since Xie Heng raised Xie Jun, the boy relied more on Xie Heng than his real brother, the Third Prince.
If Xie Heng were to say something to Xie Jun, anything would be enough to make Xie Jun hate the Third Prince.
The most important person in the Third Prince’s life was his little brother. If they were to become distant, he would not be happy.
The Third Prince couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re overthinking it. I’m just joking. That was never my plan. Even if Sikou Ming were to die, I could never let him die in Guangqing Province. The Imperial City would be a better place. Moreover, since Sikou Ming is Sikou Zhendongs only son, he would go crazy if his son were to die now.”
“You really scared me back there!”
“What? Am I that irresponsible to you?”
“Huh? Of course not. You’ve always been the person who has planned further than me.”
“But I’m also part of the reason why Sikou Ming keeps bothering Zhao Chuchu. So I have to take care of this, or else Xie Heng will come to hate me.”
“Then, what are you planning?
“Since Sikou Ming loves to cause trouble, let’s make him busy.”
“Are you thinking of doing this yourself?”
“What’s wrong with that? I’ve been feeling a lot better recently. I should go out and have a walk anyway.”
Qiao Heting wanted to persuade the Third Prince to rest, but then he recalled that Zhao Chuchu had suggested the same thing and said nothing. “Have Sikou Ming come and meet me,” the Third Prince told Qiao Heting.
“What if Sikou Ming tries to do something to you?
“Well, you’re here with me, aren’t you?
Qiao Heting let out a sigh and had no choice but to act as a middleman.
Although Qiao Heting looked like a scholar, he was actually a martial artist. Therefore, there was no way he could win against the Third Prince in plotting something.
The Third Prince was also very protective. As a result, Qiao Heting was treated better by the Third Prince than the Qiao clan.
Since Qiao Heting had a lot of connections in Guangqing Province, he was able to quickly locate Sikou Ming in a brothel.
Sikou Ming was talking about his goals with one of the girls there.
He was slightly stunned when Qiao Heting appeared.
“Heir Qiao? What a coincidence!” Sikou Ming quickly regained his wits and pushed the girl away. He stood up and walked toward Qiao Heting. “I was not expecting Heir Qiao, who was known for not frequenting this type of place, to be here. Your fiancée is still here in the capital city. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll kick you out of the house?
“The Third Prince wants to meet with you.” Not wanting to have a meaningless talk with Sikou Ming, Qiao Heting skipped the formalities and went straight to the main topic. “He wants you there now.”
“Huh? Why does he suddenly want to meet with me?” Sikou Ming could not understand what the Third Prince was planning and looked at Qiao Heting suspiciously. “What is this?”
“I’m just a messenger. It’s up to you if you want to go or not.” Qiao Heting then turned to leave.
No matter how powerful Sikou Ming was, he wouldn’t dare to oppose the Third Prince.
Everyone knew that the Emperor liked the Third Prince the most. Despite being burdened by illness, it never prevented the emperor from adoring his
third son.
“Hold up! I’m just joking. I’m coming! Were meeting with the Third Heir, right? Let’s go!” Sikou Ming quickly chased after Qiao Heting.
The smell of the lady’s perfume on Sikou Ming disgusted Qiao Heting.
The heir hastened his footsteps and kept a distance from Sikou Ming.
“By the way, how’s the Third Heir? I heard that he came to Guangqing Province a while ago to treat his illness, so I thought he would go to a more scenic spot. Who would’ve thought that he was here in the capital city? It looks like I need to work on my information. I would’ve visited him if I had known he was here.” Sikou Ming then paused. “Heir Qiao, do you know why the Third Heir wants to meet with me? We’re old friends, aren’t we? Can’t you let me know? I don’t want to say the wrong thing in front of him. Did you come here to
Guangqing Province with him as well? I should’ve come with you guys! At least
I can try to impress him on the way here.”
Sikou Ming kept on blabbering without stopping on their way to meet with the prince..
