There are so many luxurious restaurants in the country, but the prince actually drinks in such a dilapidated small restaurant, and I am afraid that most people will not believe it.

"As the eldest prince of the empire, he would actually drink with relish in such a tavern. Gao Wei laughed and teased. The eldest prince smiled slightly and said, "After all, I don't have an industry like the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion under the command of the third brother, and I am also a poor person, and it is already very good to have wine." Didn't you Gao Wei also drink in a small restaurant?"

Gao Wei's smile never faded, and he said, "I can't imagine the eldest prince, but you know a lot about me!"

"If you don't understand, you have too much potential. The eldest prince took a glass of wine and drank it all, looked at Bai Rufeng on the side, and said, "Shouldn't you introduce me to this new friend?"

Gao Wei looked at Bai Rufeng next to him, then looked at the eldest prince, and said, "This is a friend of mine, named Bai Rufeng." Bai Rufeng looked at the eldest prince and arched his hand, which was considered a salute. The eldest prince smiled and nodded slightly, which was considered a return gift.

"I'm here this time to ask the eldest prince some questions. Gao Wei said. The eldest prince nodded and made a gesture of please, which means that you say it.

Gao Wei said: "The third prince and I have always had no grudges in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future. Before that day, I had never met His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but why did His Royal Highness the Third Prince speak to me in front of His Majesty the Emperor? ”

The eldest prince smiled lightly and said, "Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, why do you want to come to me to ask again?"

Gao Wei smiled and said, "Then ask the eldest prince to help me verify whether what I think is correct." ”

The eldest prince picked up the wine glass and said, "My third brother has an extremely extreme temperament. He and I are considered to be the two most likely to succeed my father in the future, so we are considered contenders!"

Gao Wei held a glass of wine, looked at the eldest prince, and waited for the eldest prince to continue. Anyway, it was your eldest prince who said that he wanted to make friends with me, so I really didn't want to be polite to you.

"Originally, we had a good relationship. The eldest prince looked nostalgic and continued, "At that time there was a real brotherhood between us! We played together, studied together at my husband's, and stole some birds' eggs from the woods of the palace together, and ate them by the eggs. At that time, and now that I think about it, it was really the happiest day of my life. ”

In front of the eldest prince, two children seemed to appear, running and jumping together, playing together, and doing their games together. But soon after, his mother died. His mother was brought in by the emperor's overnight affair. The eldest prince looked at Gao Wei and continued to tell his story.

Because it was the result of his father's overnight affair, his father felt guilty about that woman. So he took the woman into the palace and took her as his wife. But this woman is a slave without any background, but her father took her for the first time. Soon after, the third child was born. At first it was fine, but then there was an old man in our cabinet who was very opposed to his mother, because the emperor wanted to make this slave-born woman empress. A real bond has been developed between them. ”

Is it the cabinet again? Gao Wei scolded in his heart, a group of old stubborn and pedantic! The eldest prince continued.

"Later, that woman was bullied by other people in the palace just because of her bad background. Even the handmaidens of other women dared to look down on her in private. Although she became the emperor's woman, she still suffered, although she shouldn't have suffered this anymore. But with the emperor here, they didn't dare to go too far, and life has always been pretty good. But one day, the emperor personally took his soldiers and horses to quell the war from the steppe. That's when everything changed. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest prince picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. Gao Wei frowned and said, "Then what?" Bai Rufeng on the side also asked.

"And then!" the eldest prince sighed, and continued, "during the Emperor's expedition, the cabinet gathered a force, and the woman in front of the palace committed suicide to thank the world. He also tied up her child, saying that this was a rebel, a hindrance, and would be punished by God. They said that as long as the woman died, they would spare her child. Those cabinet guys gathered a group of literati to publicize it, and some even used their power in the palace to constantly put pressure on the woman, but trapped the woman and didn't let her appear. In the end, the woman finally couldn't take it anymore, and she found an opportunity to walk out of the palace. ”

"They tied up the woman's child and told her to come out and kill herself, and they trapped her and didn't let her come out. What is the reasoning of this?" Bai Rufeng asked with a frown.

Gao Wei said: "This is the group of literati, they want to get rid of this woman, and they want to kill her children. ”

"That's right, it's just that they didn't expect an accident to happen, and the woman came out of the palace. The eldest prince continued, "On that day, she was dressed in a plain robe, lightly powdered, and lightly swept her eyebrows. She was beautiful that day, breathtakingly beautiful. There were tears on that beautiful face, and the heavens would cry even if they saw it. That day, it had been raining since she appeared. Some of them said that she was ominous, and that she hated even the sky, and let the dark clouds cover her eyes, forcing the woman to jump from the tall buildings of the imperial city. Before the woman jumped down again, she was still asking the sky loudly what she had done wrong? Those people, those people kept saying that they were righteous men and gentlemen, and as long as this woman died, they would let her child go. ”

She jumped, and the rain ran down with her blood. That kid is the third child. The third child watched his mother jump down from the tall building and fall to her death in front of him!" The eldest prince's eyes turned red, and the wine glass in his hand shattered with a force in his hand, "Then, the group of people didn't plan to let that child go, they threw that child into the ghost prison." I want that kid to die inside. But on that day, the emperor returned. The third child was lucky enough to save his life because his father came back. On that occasion my father was very angry, and my father was so angry that he went on a killing spree, and almost a third of the people in the world were removed, and it was from that time that there were only thirty-two positions left in the cabinet, and before that there were sixty. It was at that time that the third child changed, he became radical and hateful. ”

Gao Wei said on the side: "But what does this have to do with you?"

"I was there, but I, I was scared. The eldest prince covered his face, choked up and said, "I, I didn't do anything, I just watched everything happen." But I didn't do anything!"
