Although the third prince was already frightened, he refused to suffer.

The four princes suddenly smiled, pointed at the three princes and said, "Look behind you, who is the woman in white?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three princes were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran around, obviously there was nothing, but he seemed to really see the female ghost, rolling all over the room, very embarrassed.

As soon as he paused for a moment, the fourth prince said, "The female ghost is behind you again." "Forced the three princes to roll around, like monkeys.

"That's enough." The emperor on the hospital bed couldn't bear to see this farce, and scolded sharply. After all, the third prince has always been able to speak well, and he does not need to assume the position of the prince like the crown prince, so he is a little more lively.

It can be said that the three princes are the most favored by the emperor among the princes, and they are also the ones who give the emperor the most joy.

The emperor couldn't bear that his most beloved son had become this virtue.

It's just that the emperor at this moment is already terminally ill, but these two short words make him unable to stop coughing for a long time.

The fourth prince finally stopped intimidating the third prince, but he watched coldly, and when the emperor finally stopped panting, he sneered: "Father said enough, but I think it is not enough." ”

The emperor couldn't breathe for a while, and at the moment he only glared at the four princes with angry eyes. He couldn't believe why the fourth child, who had always been submissive in front of him, frequently spoke ill of him.

"The father just saw that the third prince was ugly, so he had to speak out to defend him. But what about me? I'm your son too, aren't the palms of my hands all meat? ”

Whether it was the usual warmth of the four princes, or the coldness just now, it seemed to be torn apart at that moment, revealing the scene that he cared about the most in his heart.

Although he is a prince, he is just an outcast whose father does not love and his mother does not love.

The Emperor didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly mention the matter, and was silent for a while.

The fourth prince was enraged by this silence, and then complained: "For as long as I can remember, my father has rarely summoned me, and even when we met at banquets, they never had a good face for me. Am I not your son? ”

The face of the fourth prince fell into painful memories, and he continued: "Every time, every time I see you asking the prince about his homework in a gentle manner, happily hugging the third prince and having fun with him. I always wondered, my father, when will he see me, see me hiding in the corner? ”

He seems to want to tell the emperor all the grievances over the years, one by one, one by one. In a no-man's corner, there was also such a little boy, full of expectations.

But he looked at the emperor on the sickbed, and the emperor was not as tall as he remembered, probably because he was seriously ill, much haggard, and his beard was sloppy.

Even more because of illness, he fell in bed, and he seemed to be much smaller, no longer like the noble emperor who was above all the people in the past.

His face was more fearful, painful, dazed and incomprehensible.

At that moment, he looked no different from every ordinary old man in the world who was dying.

The fourth prince suddenly laughed, he realized his ridiculousness.

For so many years, he tried his best and studied hard, thinking that maybe one day, the emperor would be able to study his knowledge and praise him like a crown prince.

And at this moment, he realized his absurdity, he worked hard for so long, just to get an affirmation from such a too ordinary person, it was really ridiculous. 61

The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the smile sounded terrifying to the other two people in the room.

The more the fourth prince laughed, the more sad he became, he had always had such an expectation in his heart, he looked forward to that his father might still have a place for him in his heart.

That day, he waited in Shili Pavilion for half the night, and in the storm, he didn't wait for He Mian'er, but waited for countless killers dressed in black and masked.

His father imprisoned him indiscriminately, his brother wanted to put him to death, his mother hated him, and the person he loved finally chose to leave him.

The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, for so many years, he was filial to his mother and flattered his father, but in the end, everything was empty.

He smiled and laughed, he really felt ridiculous, and even bent over with laughter, but he also smiled and laughed, and tears flowed down his cheeks and into his mouth.

He laughed to himself, but the emperor on the hospital bed couldn't bear it anymore and scolded angrily: "You are crazy. ”

The fourth prince did look a little crazy at the moment, he finally held back his laughter, and in his heart, he completely saw the person in front of him.

"What qualifications do you have to say about me. You deceived my mother, and caused her to be depressed and depressed all her life; You appointed traitorous ministers, brutalized Zhongliang, and forced the Xu family to live in peace. You are cowardly and incompetent, surrendering to the Hun Tartars externally, and the people are fish and flesh internally. ”

The more the fourth prince spoke, the more angry he became, and then said: "If you don't think about flesh and blood, kill your brother, and imprison your son, you don't care about my life or death." ”

Listening to the son in front of him count his own one by one, the emperor was so angry that he raised his arm, trembling again and again and wanted to refute, wanted to reprimand, but couldn't say anything for a while.

The four princes continued: "People like you, ruthless, unjust, and tyrannical, but you think you are only a wise king, which is really ridiculous. You couldn't keep the prince in the past, but now you want to protect your son, which is ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

Seeing that the emperor on the sickbed was already so angry that his face was flushed, his neck was thick, his eyes were so wide, and his face was bruised, the four princes smiled and said, "A faint monarch like you doesn't want to pass on the throne to this gentleman in front of you, right?" ”

The emperor was angry, but for some reason, when he heard this, he put his arm down, closed his eyes, and a line of tears was clearly visible.

The fourth prince wanted to say something more, but when he saw this, he felt that no matter how many words he had in his heart, it seemed to be stuck in his throat.

When he saw the person in front of him, he didn't say anything. Even the heaving of the chest slowly disappeared.

For some reason, a strange feeling rose in the hearts of the four princes.

"Father?" He screamed tentatively, but saw that the man was motionless and did not react in the slightest.

He stepped forward and stretched out his finger to probe, and the emperor was really out of breath.

In the hearts of the four princes, there is a little less pleasure and a little more emptiness. He took two steps back, knelt respectfully, and kowtowed to the emperor three times.

turned around and pushed the door and went out of the room, but he no longer cared about the three princes in the room, and said to the people guarding outside the door: "The three princes committed a crime, and they rebelled, and they spoke disrespectfully to their father, and they were so angry that their father suddenly had a heart attack. ”

Then, he paused and said in a loud voice: "Spread the oracle of the current saint, and pass it on to the fourth prince Jingzhi. ”

"The emperor is dead." The fourth prince said expressionlessly, as soon as these words came out, two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.
