Chapter 1156 - Second Prince (2) (2/2)

Long Xi gave a slight start. “Apologize?”

Long Yue nodded, his eyes full of frustration and bitterness.

“I heard that mother has not been well and I have been worried about her. I also heard that the Xinyue Auction House will be auctioning off a Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir and I wanted to get that for mother. However, I failed to do so. Losing the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir is my fault. I hope brother will forgive me.”

It stunned Long Xi. He never thought that Long Yue wanted the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir for their mother. Warmth surged into his heart as he opened his mouth to speak.

Having remained quiet all this while, Ji Fengyan suddenly interrupted Long Xi.

“Second Prince is so kindhearted, how could the Crown Prince blame you? Don’t worry so much.” Ji Fengyan grinned.

It was not strange for second prince Long Yue to know of the Sa Er Empress’ ill health.

However…

Although Long Xi didn’t personally bid for the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir, the man who partic.i.p.ated in the bidding was a guard from his residence. Anyone could see who that man represented.

But Long Yue had entered the bidding right at the last moment. It was obvious he was trying to mess things up.

If Long Yue had wanted that elixir for his mother, why would he purposely try to outbid the crown prince’s man?

His words were obviously said for Long Xi’s benefit.

And only because Long Xi missed this fine detail was he nearly tricked.

Long Yue thought he had managed to trick Long Xi into revealing he had the elixir, but was thwarted by that lovely girl standing at the side.

And after hearing Ji Fengyan’s words, Long Xi realized he better not reveal he had the elixir. He just said, “That’s right. Knowing you had such kind intentions is enough.”
