Xiao Beiping sat on the head of the bed, his legs hugged in front of his chest, tightly held by his two hands, his two hands clenched into fists, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and streams of blood flowed down his palms, against the soft and fragrant Luo Qi quilt. The head hung low, tucked between the legs, revealing only the messy hair.

The eldest prince has maintained this appearance for a whole day, and since His Majesty came to the palace of the eldest prince, His Royal Highness Xiao Beiping insisted that he had been wronged, but he couldn't say why. And all the signs at the scene indicate that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince was drunk and disorderly last night, and strangled the palace maid in a fit of passion.

This crime can be big or small, because the one who died was just a palace maid, and the murderer was the eldest prince Xiao Beiping, not to mention the accidental killing. But this is a bad time that greatly affects the palace, and seriously damages the image of the entire palace, if it is spread, where is the majesty of the royal family. Therefore, after Emperor Liang Wendi came to the scene in a wheelchair to ask a few words, he was furious and walked away, and issued a gag order, so that everyone could not spread this matter, and those who violated it were beheaded. And the eldest prince of Xiao Beiping was also placed under house arrest in the palace.

Xiao Beiping is now facing only house arrest, which should be a very light punishment, maybe after a while, when the palace gradually forgets about this matter, Xiao Beiping is still the prince of Southern Liang, and in the eyes of everyone, it is not a big deal for a prince to kill a servant. The magnates of Nanjing City did not do less such things in private.

However, this incident brought an extremely serious consequence to Xiao Beiping, that is, within three or five years, he would definitely not be able to be the prince of Nanliang. And if Emperor Liang Wen wants to be crowned prince in the near future, he can only choose Xiao Beiding, and more importantly, everyone doesn't know if Emperor Liang Wen can survive until three or five years later. Therefore, after the incident, Xiao Beiping was already clearly aware that the position of the prince seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, flying towards his second brother.

And after Emperor Wen Liang left, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace also suffered, and all of them were implicated and belittled, and everyone in the palace was purged and replaced with a group of palace maids and eunuchs that Xiao Beiping had never seen. Among the people who were purged, there was one less eunuch, and this eunuch was Xiao Beiping's henchman, Xiao Lizi. Xiao Beiping can guess Xiao Lizi's whereabouts, which is also his only hope now. Therefore, Xiao Beiping chose to remain silent about the inquiry in the palace, and the palace could only find out that the little eunuch hurriedly left the palace with a token this morning.

This little eunuch went out with Xiao Beiping's token, so everyone knew what to ask the eldest prince, but looking at Xiao Beiping's appearance in front of him, the leader of the forbidden army chose to be silent and bowed and withdrew. And Xiao Lizi was also crossed out from the roster in the palace.

Since Emperor Wen of Liang left, the eldest prince sat on the bed and assumed this pose, and it has never changed since. During this period, I did not drink water or eat, and I did not spill a single bubble in my urine. And the new palace maids and eunuchs all looked at this master tremblingly, and none of them dared to step forward to persuade him. So, Xiao Beiping sat like this, from noon to evening, and then until late at night.

In between, Xiao Beiping's mother, Mrs. Lu, came, but Duan Zhong still chose to be silent, so Mrs. Lu could only leave in a whisper. And except for Xiao Beiping's biological mother, no one in the palace wanted to touch this brow, so for a whole day, since Emperor Liang Wen left, except for Mrs. Lu, no one came. Xiao Beiping's palace is no different from a cold palace.

And in the middle of the night, Xiao Beiping's palace finally ushered in a guest, the second prince Xiao Beiding.

His Royal Highness led a little eunuch and took advantage of the night to come to Xiaobei Parallel Palace and knock on the door. The little eunuch who opened the door was startled when he saw the Second Highness standing at the door, and hurriedly introduced His Highness into the palace.

Xiao Beiding's palace Xiao Beiding naturally came, so he didn't need someone to guide him, so the second prince went straight to Xiao Beiping's bedroom.

Gently pushed open the door, made a silent gesture to the startled maid, waved his hand to let all the people in the room go out, closed the door, and then walked to Xiao Beiping's window and sat down at the table. Xiao Beiping didn't look up, and he didn't realize that his second brother had come to his room. It's just that Wuzi has his head in his head, like a zombie, except for the slightly undulating chest, there is nothing to prove that the eldest prince is still alive.

Xiao Beiding looked at his brother, let out a long sigh, and finally said, "Big brother." ”

Xiao Beiping's body shook, slowly raised his head, squinted at his younger brother, and then lowered his head again. Xiao Beiding sighed again when he saw it, and suddenly saw the blood in his brother's hands, he couldn't help but be stunned, stood up and walked to the window, took out a handkerchief from his arms, grabbed his brother's hand again, and slowly stretched out his palm, wanting to wipe the blood off his hand.

However, Xiao Beiping's nails have been embedded in the flesh for a long time, and they have been stuck in it, and the blood on his hands has coagulated.

Xiao Beiding's eyes showed a look of infinite compassion, maybe only at this time, can he treat the person in front of him as his brother. With a long sigh, Xiao Beiping called softly in front of the bed: "Big brother." ”

Xiao Beiping still trembled and did not speak.

The second prince stared at his brother: "You say, that chair is really that heavy?" Why are we all reluctant to let go? ”

Xiao Beiping slowly raised his head and glanced at his biological brother. finally showed a smile: "The chair, there is always someone to sit on, it's not you, it's me." After that, he continued to laugh, "Duan Zhong has told me many stories, all about the dispute over this chair, and in the end, the people who can get on the throne are often those who are ruthless and dare to kill their relatives in righteousness, and I admit that I am not as good as you." ”

The second prince's hand lightly fell on the eldest prince's curled knee: "I don't understand why you trust an outsider so much, and even pin all your hopes on him." You have to understand that the dragon can only hold up a piece of the sky by himself. Xiao Beiding paused and sighed: "Big brother, do you remember the time we spent together when we were young, at that time, how carefree we were, there was no intrigue and deceit, only joy." But such a time is always short-lived, you go to Dali, I become a prisoner, and everything will be different from that moment on. ”

Xiao Beiding's eyes flashed with warmth: "You have always been my younger brother, but you have never treated me as a brother." ”

The second prince's body shook violently, because this sentence touched many things in his heart.

"I used to think that if you were the elder brother and I was the younger brother, maybe things wouldn't be so complicated, and my ** for power is far less intense than yours. Maybe it's because I stayed in Dali for two years and got along with Duan Zhong for two years. If you haven't really been with him, you'll never believe that a person's infectious power can be so powerful, so powerful that you want to imitate him in everything you say and do. ”

The second prince shook his head, such a thing sounded quite ridiculous to him, the object of worship of the dragon son, in addition to the high heavenly son, could there be anyone else.

But Xiao Beiping didn't care about his brother's expression, and continued: "If I take the initiative not to want this chair, will you let me live?" ”

The second prince breathed and did not speak.

Xiao Beiping smiled faintly and continued: "Yes, because I am the eldest son, it is natural for me to sit on this chair." And if you want to sit on it, what is lit under this chair will definitely be my corpse. And I want to live, so I'm going to fight for this chair. And you, even if you can't sit on this chair, you have enough reasons to live, at least you can be a vassal king. ”

His Royal Highness let out a long sigh: "This kind of thing is always very wonderful, I know that I shouldn't touch it, but I still can't help but get closer." You are my brother, the brother I have always admired and relied on, and I treat you as a brother no matter what happens between us. The reason I'm sitting in this chair is because I'm better suited than you. ”

"Better fit?" Xiao Beiping sneered, not knowing whether it was mockery or helplessness.

Xiao Beiding nodded: "Not bad." What the emperor needs is a gentle heart and an iron-blooded wrist, and you only have the former, but not the latter. Your means are always so gentle. Even if I want to kill you everywhere, you just blindly avoid, avoid, and avoid, without any idea of fighting back. Is it just because we are brothers? It is this brotherly love that you think about all the time, which dooms you to be unsuitable for being an emperor and dooms you to failure. ”

Xiao Beiding looked at the pale brother in front of him, and a feeling rose in his heart, this feeling was guilt and helplessness: "Big brother, I promise that as long as you quit, I will never harm your life." Whether you believe it or not, this is my Xiao Beiding's promise. ”

Xiao Beiping raised his head, with some ridicule in his eyes: "You are so sure that you can win." ”

The second prince nodded firmly: "Because now it's not only you, but also the senior brother you rely on the most outside the palace, I'm afraid you're also in trouble." ”

The eldest prince raised his head suddenly, his eyes staring at his younger brother: "What did you do?" ”

The second prince pursed his lips: "Su'er, it's in my hands now." ”

Xiao Beiping's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, but in the end he returned to normal, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I don't think so." ”
