Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 268 Fear

At night, the entire Lanlin Palace was shrouded in twilight. The moonlight shone faintly through the clouds, illuminating a corner of the eaves, while shadows covered most of the place.

The palace lanterns in the corridor emitted a soft light, barely dispelling a little of the darkness. In the spacious and empty Lanlin Hall, there was only the sound of light footsteps that could be heard when one got close.

Sui Wan quietly came to the back hall and knocked on the door carefully. He was then led by the eunuch on guard to the side of the eldest prince Qin Mingyu.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu had not yet gone to bed. A lonely candle was lit on the table beside his bed. Because there was no windproof lampshade, the candle was swaying in the night wind blowing through the window.

Sui Wan immediately knelt beside Qin Mingyu and said, "Your Highness, the First Prince, thank you for pleading for me."

Qin Mingyu said calmly, "You're welcome. Aunt Suiwan took better care of me than any of the wet nurses. It's only right for me to plead for you."

"Take that jade paperweight back. I don't need these small items." Qin Mingyu said with a cold face.

Sui Wan frowned and said pitifully, "Your Highness, it was my fault. I know I was wrong."

Qin Mingyu said nothing, but in his heart he was madly cursing Sui Wan for being a brainless waste.

I had thought that since Sui Wan and his mother had a childhood friendship, they would be able to quickly eliminate the previous estrangement, so he could keep a useful nail in his mother's place, and when he left the palace at the age of sixteen and set up his own residence, she would help him keep an eye on the palace.

A waste.

He had to look for a new palace maid and eunuch. The palace maids and eunuchs at the lower level might not be able to climb up. The palace maids and eunuchs serving him now and those he promoted would most likely be sent to his mansion by his father to continue serving him.

It would be troublesome to have no biological mother to help in the palace. Now my mother is saying nice things, but who knows what will happen in the future?

"What's the use of admitting your mistakes now? Mother is going to expel you from the palace. I can only wish you to marry a good family after you leave the palace."

Sui Wan's eyes widened.

"What are you shocked about? You have nothing but ambition but no self-awareness. There's no point in keeping you. We'll have to worry about you making trouble one day. It's your mother who understands you better." Qin Mingyu's face was gloomy and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, I am only trying to test your position in the beauty's heart. She is reluctant to give you even a jade paperweight. You will be even more miserable when her child is born."

Qin Mingyu smiled and stared at Sui Wan's face, looking him up and down, left and right, and shook his head.

"My aunt wanted to be a superior person, but unfortunately she didn't have a good appearance and couldn't match up with my father."

"I may be ugly, but I truly want to help Your Highness." Sui Wan said embarrassedly.

"Then how can you help me, my Lord?"

Sui Wan was about to answer when he heard Qin Mingyu say, "Does it mean that Mother will only have one son, this Highness?"

The malice in the eldest prince's heart was clearly revealed to Sui Wan.

This made her feel a little scared. If she said the wrong thing, she might lose her life.

Sui Wan suppressed his fear, kowtowed hastily, and replied:

"I will obey your Highness. I cannot leave the palace tomorrow. I still have some time in the palace. Whether inside or outside the palace, as long as I am in this world, I belong to your Highness. Everything will be at your command."

"Hurry up and get up. There is no need to be so scared. I have never taken anyone's life before. I am still a child. I was just...playing a joke with my aunt."
