Chapter 156 After His Highness the Crown Prince was reborn, he merged with the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister felt that the Crown Prince had been acting strangely lately, always stealing glances at him from time to time.
Just a few days ago, I was radiating happiness and joy from the inside out.
That smile was so irritating to him.
These past two days, I've been completely out of it, like I've seen a ghost.
Most importantly, seeing him can make you lose yourself in thought.
There was longing, surprise, doubt, and pain in his eyes.
It's as if they have a deep connection.
It was as if he had discovered the secret he had been keeping hidden in his heart.
How could that be? The Crown Prince couldn't possibly know.
However, the Prime Minister couldn't help but wonder what the Crown Prince's reaction would be if he found out.
The crown prince's eyes held longing, surprise, doubt, and even pain.
But he didn't see any disgust.
If the Crown Prince doesn't dislike it, does that mean he can actually accept it?
If he tells the Crown Prince, will the Crown Prince accept him?
No, no, this can't be. He didn't even tell the Crown Prince clearly, yet the Crown Prince was already so conflicted and distracted.
If he tells the Crown Prince, will the Crown Prince simply hide away?
At least for now, he can see the Crown Prince every day.
If the Crown Prince were to hide from him or become enraged and banish him from the capital, he would go mad.
That's fine, it doesn't matter if things stay this way, it's okay if we don't say anything.
Just as the Prime Minister was advising himself not to act impulsively, His Highness the Crown Prince made his decision.
He's so conflicted and in so much pain every day, why doesn't he just ask the Prime Minister openly and honestly?
Ask him what he really thinks.
If the prime minister directly said he hated him or disliked him, he could give up on him immediately.
He could clearly tell himself that this prime minister was not any other prime minister; they were two different people, and they should not be confused.
As for the Prime Minister saying he likes him.
That is impossible.
The prime minister showed absolutely no liking for him.
He's not a masochist who enjoys playing out these sadomasochistic love stories.
His Highness the Crown Prince has known since childhood that he can get whatever he wants.
As soon as he utters a word, people will rush to him one after another.
No one had ever made him feel so conflicted, torn, and in so much pain.
His Highness the Crown Prince visited the Prime Minister's residence.
His Highness the Crown Prince was stopped at the door.
He used to be able to come and go as he pleased from the Prime Minister's residence.
When will he be stopped by the gatekeeper when he enters the Prime Minister's residence and have to stand outside waiting to be announced?
His Highness the Crown Prince was even less inclined to believe that the Prime Minister would have any special feelings for him.
The imperial guards sent by the emperor found it very strange that His Highness the Crown Prince had suddenly arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
Hasn't His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister always been at odds?
The emperor even had a headache over the relationship between the two.
Why would His Highness the Crown Prince come to see the Prime Minister?
Is His Highness the Crown Prince really not as simple as he appears on the surface?
The Prime Minister was quite surprised when he heard the gatekeeper's report.
His Highness the Crown Prince actually came to see him.
How long has it been since he last visited the Prime Minister's residence?
Can not remember.
Previously, His Highness the Crown Prince would just barge in without a care in the world, unlike today when he would wait quietly outside.
If he says he won't see him, will His Highness the Crown Prince really just leave like that?
That's His Highness the Crown Prince! How could he possibly turn His Highness away?
Moreover, he was very curious to know what His Highness the Crown Prince had come all this way for.
The Prime Minister straightened his clothes and went to the door to greet him personally.
The two stood at the doorway, their eyes meeting, neither speaking, yet it seemed as if they had already said a thousand words.
The guards outside kept saying something was wrong, really wrong. What were His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister exchanging messages? Were they exchanging glances?
Only people who are very, very familiar with each other can have this kind of tacit understanding.
For example, a bodyguard and his bodyguard brothers can understand each other's meaning with just a glance.
Unfortunately, he wasn't familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister, so he couldn't understand their eye contact.
The Prime Minister stepped aside, and His Highness the Crown Prince entered the Prime Minister's residence.
They entered the study and closed the door.
His Highness the Crown Prince came to the Prime Minister's desk, where an unfinished painting was laid out.
A dashing young man in fine clothes, riding a spirited horse.
It was him in the painting.
This was his first outing with the Prime Minister after he learned to ride a horse.
When His Highness the Crown Prince saw the painting, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Why did you ask the Prime Minister why he painted him?
Do you ask the Prime Minister if he likes him?
This painting seems to answer some of the questions.
His Highness the Crown Prince stared at the painting without saying a word.
The Prime Minister looked at His Highness the Crown Prince.
He deliberately left this painting here instead of putting it away.
He just wanted to test the Crown Prince's attitude.
What would be the reaction to seeing this painting?
Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince remain silent, the Prime Minister can be certain of one thing.
That means His Highness the Crown Prince really knows.
Although it is unknown how His Highness the Crown Prince discovered it, or if it is merely a guess.
The Prime Minister is very curious to see how His Highness the Crown Prince will react.
The Crown Prince didn't get angry or lose his temper with him immediately, which suggests that the Crown Prince doesn't dislike him that much.
The two people inside remained silent, and the guards outside were also silent, unsure of what to say.
Why did the Prime Minister paint His Highness the Crown Prince?
Shouldn't you draw a beautiful woman? Why draw a man?
Moreover, painting His Highness the Crown Prince is utterly treasonous.
His Highness the Crown Prince kept admiring it and even touched it. Does he really like it that much?
Was this painted by the Prime Minister at the request of His Highness the Crown Prince?
And these two haven't spoken a word to each other at all. What kind of tacit understanding is this?
How is he supposed to report back to him?
Does this mean everything is understood without words?
His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly noticed scratches on the drawing paper. He reached out and touched the paper; these were knife marks.
Such deep marks could only mean that the paper in front was badly ripped apart by a knife.
It's possible that several sheets were torn in succession.
Was the painting ruined because the artist was dissatisfied with it?
I'm still not satisfied with the people in the painting; I want to destroy it.
His Highness the Crown Prince looked up at the Prime Minister.
The prime minister wore a half-smile, his eyes filled with unfathomable depth.
I was even a little excited.
Could the Prime Minister be plotting something against him?
If the prime minister truly hates him.
Wouldn't you say he walked right into a trap?
He is the Crown Prince. How dare the Prime Minister do anything to him?
His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at the tightly closed door. If he went to open it, would the Prime Minister let him leave immediately?
"Your Excellency is in high spirits."
"Yes, I'm in a pretty good mood today."
The Prime Minister took a step forward.
He saw escapism and fear in the Crown Prince's eyes.
His Highness the Crown Prince is still guarding the door; does this mean he intends to leave?
My lord, you have come in today, and I am not willing to let you leave so easily.
"Then I won't disturb the Prime Minister any longer."
His Highness the Crown Prince tried to rush out the door, but was stopped by the Prime Minister.
"Your Highness, how about we complete this painting together?"
