n409 Do You Really Not Understand, or Are You Pretending Not to Understand?

nPrince De and he had stayed in a farmer’s house yesterday, and they were now wearing extremely plain clothes.

n“Your Highness, are we not returning to the villa?”

nHe had been fishing by the lake with Prince De for a long time but did not catch a single fish. He could not help but wonder why they were here.

nHe was supposed to be going to the villa with His Highness.

nHowever, they were now in the remote countryside, doing things they had never done.

n“Don’t speak. Can’t you see that there’ll be a fish on my fishing hook soon?” Prince De said softly, motioning to the guard.

nThe guard kept quiet.

nHow am I supposed to see when a fish will take the bait underwater? I don’t have that kind of ability!

nBesides, what kind of fish can His Highness catch with his fishing skills? He has been sitting by the lake for more than an hour, but he hasn’t caught a single small fish!

n“Your Highness, perhaps there aren’t any fishes in this lake?” he could not help but ask again.

nIf there are fishes, why haven’t we caught one yet? Do fishes like to eat fish food now?

nPrince De glared at the guard again and cursed, “Shut up!”

nHe would not be so stupid as to return to the villa and be captured by his father and sent to the southern border.

nHe did not want to go to the southern border to spar with Qian Jiyun’s subordinates. It was obvious that the enemy was stronger than him. It would be strange if he went!

n“If you say another word, I’ll cut off your tongue!”

n“Uh!” The guard was frightened and quickly covered his mouth, shaking his head.

nHe did not understand why His Highness had run out secretly and left all his advisors in the villa. He did not even bring a few guards with him.

nIf something happened, they would not even have anyone to help them.

nHowever, His Highness did not allow him to speak, so he had no choice but to keep quiet. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer.

n“Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? The entire villa belongs to Father. If I don’t escape, I’ll be stuffed into a carriage and tied up all the way to the southern border.”

nHe could not help but mutter.

nThis was something his father would do, especially since An Jiuyue had dared to meddle with Prince Sui.

nAs the emperor of a country, how could he tolerate this?

nHowever, he could not do anything to Qian Jiyun openly. He could only hurry him to the southern border to cause trouble.

nPrince De would be stupid if he chose not to run now!

n“But, Your Highness, you’ll anger the Emperor,” the guard warned, risking having his tongue severed.

nHe had considered what the Emperor would do. However, if His Highness did not act according to the Emperor’s wishes, he would really anger him.

nIf the Emperor was unhappy, Prince De’s good days would probably come to an end, right?

n“You know nothing!” Prince De turned around and scolded him.

nHe, the dignified Prince De, had done everything since he was young. If the old Emperor had been furious with him, he would have shown it much sooner.

nThis was the significance of having a mother from a large clan. Prince Sui lacked the support of his mother’s clan. Even if Prince Sui did not cause trouble on purpose, he was already doomed.

nHe might even die if he makes another move in the future.

n“Father should be worried about when I won’t anger him anymore.”

nDoes he really think I don’t know? He may be doting on me, but does everyone know what he’s thinking behind my back?
