"My two brothers, are you coming with me to the palace, or …?"
The Eldest Prince smiled as he looked at the Fourth Imperial Prince and the Second Imperial Prince, who were getting up slowly.
It was a simple sentence, but it was filled with murderous intent.
"Haha … hahaha …"
The Second Imperial Prince regained his senses and laughed dryly. "Eldest Brother, you don't have to be so ruthless, do you? At most, I'll go home and pack up my belongings and leave the Snow Land forever. "
The Eldest Prince couldn't kill his two brothers in the palace with his own hands. It would be fine if it was a conspiracy, but he couldn't do it himself or even give the order!
How could a person who bore the crime of killing his own brother sit on the throne of the Emperor?
But the Second Imperial Prince knew that he couldn't go with the Eldest Prince to meet the Emperor today. Otherwise, once this message was sent out, those who supported him would all be in trouble!
The First Prince ran his fingers through his hair and stared at the Second Prince with a gloomy gaze. In a gentle voice, he said, "Second Prince, you should remember that we had a pretty good relationship when we were young. I once said that as long as you were my brother, I wouldn't kill you. But of all the things you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have had such thoughts!"
The Eldest Prince flung his sleeves and turned around. "Second Brother, there is a price to pay for everything in this world. You did it, so you have to bear the consequences."
"Plop —"
The Second Imperial Prince bit his lip. When the Eldest Prince finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a pleading look in his eyes.
The Eldest Prince shook his head lightly. He stared at the Second Prince and said coldly, "Second Prince, do you dare to tell me that if Tong Huan wasn't my man, after you killed Fourth Prince today, you wouldn't have asked your men to forge a secret order for me to enter the palace and then lie down on this road?! Ambush me! Me!? "
The First Prince emphasized the words' ambush me '. It was as if he wanted to tear the words apart and swallow them whole!
The Second Imperial Prince bit his lip and didn't say a word. After all, his eldest brother had seen through his plan!
In the early years, there were people who commented that the First Prince was extraordinarily talented and could be considered a mighty ruler. It was just that he was narrow-minded and relied on favoritism.
Although a lackey like Wang Lin was loyal to him, he would often mess things up for him. That was why the second prince and the Fourth Imperial Prince had a chance to fight!
The First Prince grinned and walked past the Second Prince. His cold voice slowly sounded, "Second Prince, if I were you, I would kill myself as soon as possible. At least the First Princess and the First Prince can have a small but self-sufficient fief."
The murderous intent in this sentence was as obvious as the hint.
The First Prince walked past the Second Prince and stopped beside the Fourth Imperial Prince. He said indifferently, "As for you, Fourth Prince … You really don't have the aptitude to be an Emperor. I know you are also in a difficult position. Those warlords and generals are standing behind you. Step by step, they pushed you to the position where you are my enemy today."
"Big Brother …"
The Fourth Imperial Prince softly called out to the First Prince. There was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Pa — Pa —
The First Prince reached out and patted the Fourth Imperial Prince's shoulder twice. He comforted, "If I wanted to kill you, I could've appeared a bit later. Wouldn't it have been better if I came out after Second Prince had killed you? Rest assured, I know your difficulties. After this matter, I want you to leave the imperial city forever and become a border general. Are you willing? "
The Fourth Imperial Prince's right hand that was holding the blade finally relaxed. It could be considered that he had agreed to the First Prince's proposal.
Chu Mosheng, who was following behind the First Prince, secretly cursed, "This guy is really a hero. He clearly borrowed the power of the First Prince to come here, but with just a few words, he got rid of his competitor. It seems like the First Prince's bad reputation in the past few years is mostly because he is surrounded by fools like Wang Lin."
If the Second Prince were to kill himself, the First Prince would naturally try his best to get a piece of land that wouldn't starve to death and wouldn't have much profit to send the Second Prince's princess and heir away.
Moreover, the Mang Kingdom had been constantly knocking on the border recently, putting a lot of pressure on the border army. With the Fourth Imperial Prince's status and personality holding the fort, it would more or less relieve some of the pressure.
After dealing with the Second Prince and the Fourth Imperial Prince, the First Prince turned to look at Chu Mosheng and indifferently said, "Mosheng, get to work. I want to give Imperial Father a surprise!"
With his connections and ability, even if his Imperial Father kept the matter under wraps, he still managed to find out a bit about it through his own methods.
The old Emperor didn't think that Nangong Yaner was a vile spawn and didn't want her to die. He had been sending people to secretly search for Nangong Yaner. His goal was to bring her back to the palace as a princess.
Chu Mosheng gently nodded and walked toward the exit of the Dragon Path.
The twenty guards following behind Xiang Yang looked at each other. One of them even walked up to Xiang Yang and whispered, "Should we tie up this brat and then …"
"Tie up King Chu's designated successor?"
Xiang Yang looked at that guard as if he was looking at a monster and asked jokingly, "Do you think that if this matter gets out, you or I will be able to live?"
At this point, Xiang Yang lightly patted that guard's shoulder and smiled. "Our mission is to ensure that the Fourth Imperial Prince's life is not in danger. Let's stop here!"
When he finished speaking, Xiang Yang looked meaningfully at the Fourth Imperial Prince who was already sitting on the ground.
Just as the Second Prince thought, before today's matter, Xiang Yang also thought that the Fourth Imperial Prince was a talented general and didn't have much shrewdness in his heart.
However, the Fourth Imperial Prince, who didn't aspire to the throne, had taken out a huge gamble. Now that he was assigned to the border by the First Prince, it was more in line with his intentions!
With the support of those generals' factions and military magnates like the Zuo clan and the Xiang clan, once the 4th prince arrived at the border and took control of an army, his power and influence would probably not be inferior to that of a feudal lord!
Just as the curtains were about to fall on this show, the biggest loser was the Second Prince who thought that he had everything planned out!
The First Prince walked toward the inner court and said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft, "There are no fools in this world. If there really are, then there should only be one type. Those who treat others as fools are the real fools!"
Kneeling on the ground, the Second Prince raised his head and looked at the First Prince who was gradually walking away. His entire body began to tremble.
Just as the First Prince said, he was the real fool who thought that he had schemed against someone. He was truly stupid.
"This show, ah, I don't have any more parts to play."
