“Didn't the son born to the former Empress die at birth?” Wei Ruo asked.
"I don't know the details either. I heard that it seemed like the prince was still alive and secretly sent to Jiangnan by the former Empress's maternal family - the former general Duke Xu. However, there were also reports that the former branch of Duke Xu was closely connected to the Jiangnan area and suspected that the prince was not dead back then." Xie Ying shared some of the rumors she had heard.
As for whether it was true or false, it was unknown.
“It should be a misunderstanding then.” Wei Ruo muttered.
Because in the original novel, the Ninth Prince who died young never appeared, and he never appeared until the male lead Chu Lan ascended the throne, so he should not exist.
"I also think it is more likely to be a misunderstanding. If he is really alive, it will be a mess." Xie Ying murmured without saying much.
One can be curious, but one needs to know the limitations. If you know more than what is necessary, it would cause trouble for yourself and your family.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the East Lake.
Xie Ying and Wei Ruo got off the carriage with the help of the maids.
On the shore, Xie Jue was waiting for her sister's arrival.
Originally, he thought that only his naughty sister would come, but he didn't expect that she would bring Wei Ruo with her.
At the moment he saw Wei Ruo, Xie Jue's smile widened. His gaze was burning as he looked at Wei Ruo, dressed in a light blue satin skirt and coat, and had her hair pulled in a simple bun.
Wei Ruo walked up to Xie Jue and bowed slightly, "Hello, Young Master Xie."
"No need to be so courteous," Xie Jue said, his right hand holding the fan feeling a bit unsure where to put it.
Xiumei, who was following behind Wei Ruo, wanted to laugh, thinking that maybe Mr. Xie was nervous when he saw her and the young lady because he was beaten by her last time?
“Don't dawdle, quickly get on the boat.” Xie Ying was impatient and didn't like to dawdle, so without waiting for her brother to react, she pulled Wei Ruo onto the boat.
Xie Jue quickly followed suit and ordered the boat to sail.
The tour boat gradually sailed away from the shore and headed towards the central area of East Lake.
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying sat in the tea room of the cabin, watching the scenery on the lake through the raised curtains.
The breeze blew on their faces, and the water rippled slightly.
Looking at the teapot in front of him, Wei Ruo took out two tea bags from the brocade bag she brought with her, one for Xie Ying and one for herself.
After opening the tea bag, she poured the contents into the tea bowl and then poured in the hot water to brew it.
"What is this?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"Flower herbal tea." Wei Ruo replied, "I use dried honeysuckle flowers, dried jasmine and several herbs that regulate qi and replenish blood. It tasted sweet, without being astringent. Try it."
Hearing this, Xie Ying also hurriedly brewed her own tea.
Before tasting it, Xie Jue walked in and said with a smile, "Sister Wei, I also want a cup of this flower herbal tea."
Xie Ying rolled her eyes at Xie Jue, "Big brother, why do you like to ask for Ruoruo's stuff so much?"
"Sister Wei’s stuff is good, and you can't buy them anywhere else. If you don't seize the opportunity to ask for one now, it will be gone later." Xie Jue said truthfully.
"That’s right," Xie Ying agreed.
Wei Ruo smiled, then took out all the remaining tea bags in the brocade bag and handed them to Xie Jue: "Since Young Master Xie likes them, I will give them all to Young Master Xie."

Ah, so he succeeded in killing the not-brother in the original? Wonder how he achieved that? Or did he die from his illness that time? Questions, questions, questions...
