Chapter 578 - How Would Anything Happen?
Chapter 578: How Would Anything Happen?
Zhao Xuzhi was deep in thought.
He thought something had happened to the Li family, which was why they had asked Master Mo to help. Moreover, Master Mo and the Crown Prince had a special relationship, so they were in contact…
He did not expect that they just happened to meet.
“Previously, my Younger Brother’s health was lacking, so we got Master Mo to exorcise the evil. My Father praised Master Mo very much, but she has a strange temper and doesn’t get along with me.” Zhao Xuzhi sighed. “I wonder if it’s because of the Crown Prince.”
‘It was your father who introduced Master Mo to us!’
Li Qingyu thought to himself secretly and asked, “What’s wrong with His Highness?”
“Sigh, it’s hard to explain. Perhaps it’s because we’re quite similar, so he dislikes me. He even criticized me just now… Although my Father is Prince Ning Bei, there are many princes in this world. If a b*stard like me doesn’t have a noble title, in His Highness’ eyes, I can be beaten and scolded.” Zhao Xuzhi sighed.
When Li Qingyu heard that, he was so scared that he had goosebumps.
“You can’t speak nonsense! His Highness is still here. If he heard this…” Li Qingyu wished he could cover Zhao Xuzhi’s mouth.
“Of course I trust you,” Zhao Xuzhi said.
Li Qingyu’s mouth was instantly stuffed.
Believe in him?
Believe that he would not snitch?
However, Zhao Xuzhi’s words were inappropriate!
“His Highness is a kind and generous person. He hasn’t lost his temper on the way here. Why would he care about such a small matter?” Li Qingyu quickly comforted him. After saying that, he could not help but look at Zhao Xuzhi again.
He and Zhao Xuzhi often played together when they were young. After they grew up, they saw each other less and less.
Especially in the past two years, he had been stubborn and had a violent temper. He did not like going out, so he had not interacted with Zhao Xu Zhi for a long time.
Now that he looked at him carefully…
When he was young, Zhao Xuzhi’s expression and eyes were indeed very similar to the Crown Prince’s.
Now that he had grown up, it was almost impossible to tell how similar they were. Only the outline of their eyes were similar. They had almond-shaped eyes and were very good-looking.
However, the look in his eyes was different, and they had quite different expressions.
Moreover, Li Qingyu had to admit that Zhao Xuzhi was more feminine and soft. He was not like the Crown Prince. Although he was cold and indifferent, his aura was extraordinary.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell the similarities.
Li Qingyu had grown up with Zhao Xuzhi. He also knew that when he was young, Zhao Xuzhi’s status was noble. People often mentioned him for he was like the Crown Prince.
Hence, Zhao Xuzhi had many habitual actions that he learned from the Crown Prince.
It could be said that Zhao Xuzhi had stolen the Crown Prince’s glory.
In the past, he had stood on Zhao Xuzhi’s side.
However, things were different now. Master Mo was the Crown Prince’s senior sister, and they were from the same sect. On the other hand, the Crown Prince had gone through many things together with them at the Pang family’s grave.
His respect for the Crown Prince was also much greater than before.
Zhao Xuzhi did not seem to be happy with Li Qingyu speaking up for the Crown Prince.
However, he did not retort directly. Instead, he said, “I was planning to go to the temple at night to take a look, but I can’t do it now. His Highness insisted on interfering and asked me to retreat with my men. We’ll talk about it during the day.”
Li Qingyu opened his mouth, and for a moment, the corners of his lips were a little dry. “His Highness is doing this for your own good. Master said that there’s something evil inside…”
“I brought many people with me. The temple isn’t big, so how would anything happen?” Zhao Xuzhi shook his head.
He was not there when Xie Qiao performed the ritual for his brother. The steward and the others were talking about it, but in reality, he did not see it, right?
“It’s precisely because you brought many people… T-That’s why His Highness didn’t want you to take the risk, no?”
