Chapter 313: The Conversation Between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince (2)
The prince's heart was uncomfortably blocked. He wanted to say if you are still lying to me and I am afraid of letting Zhao Zhao go, but he can't say it, Yingniang rarely has such a look. He thought again, if his father really had this heart, would his life be worth it?
Why did he want to be this prince?
It's not that he was born to be this prince. It was he who was born in the belly of the queen, it was he who was the son-in-law, it was his father who made him the crown prince, and it was his father who handed him over to the prince.
His father chose a brother for him, and his father chose a wife for him.
He and Lan Shi, Yingniang, and even these eunuchs in the palace are all given by their father.
In addition to not being as smart as his father since he was a child, he didn't do anything treacherous, he worked hard to be a prince, and tried to follow Taifu and Lan Shi to run around the court together, he loved Yingniang, and never harmed Yingniang with a finger - but even so, his father still didn't like him.
He sent the king of Jin to the opposite side of him, and he killed the Taifu again.
Now, is he going to kill himself?
The prince opened his mouth, and suddenly he felt that he couldn't breathe, and he blocked his heart, making him almost faint.
After a long time, he asked in a daze: "Yingniang, why?" β
The crown princess explained to him little by little, and said, "I've been thinking about why Your Majesty left your father in circles, and I guess he wants to kill you and leave a grandfather for the tanuki." I, on the other hand, am the one he trusts. I don't agree with my father, and sooner or later I'll have to turn against him. Therefore, Your Majesty is not afraid that I will conspire with my father, because I still have a raccoon slave to take care of. β
The prince still didn't understand, so the princess said: "You think, if your father is as pure and kind as the prince, then in the future, what will the tanuki slave do to kill him?" β
The prince's face turned pale.
Crown Princess: "The family of the Zhenguo Mansion will be buried for the raccoon slaves." This is the way of the emperor, first behead the people around you. β
The prince's face turned pale, and he still couldn't help asking: "However, you said that there is no need for my father to go around in such a big circle......"
Crown Princess: "So I've been overturning my previous thoughts these days, but today I suddenly understood that it's not that he doesn't want to kill you, he just can't do it." Because he couldn't do it, it made you look redundant in this matter, and it made others wonder why he was, so that later, I wondered if he was still playing with other ideas. β
"Shouke, he estimated that he was starting to plan again, planning an ending for you, an ending where he could not bear the guilt. Just like Taifu many years ago, because he was deeply involved in corruption, even if Taifu was kind to him, he could still kill without pity. β
"I know Your Majesty too well, I know that he is a Ming Jun, and he himself thinks he is a Ming Jun, so he wants everything to appear innocent in him."
The prince didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and only said after a while: "Yingniang, then you say, what game does he want to set up for me?" β
Crown Princess: "I don't know. β
She really didn't know, but: "Don't meet your father again, your father's mind is not right, and if it is not right, there will be two times." His Majesty always thought that he could control the hearts of all people, but the reason why man is human is because he has his own thoughts. β
"My father except for the matter of the Taifu, as far as I know, it is not as simple as His Majesty thinks."
The prince muttered, "Yingniang, you say, can I still live?" β
The crown princess shook her head, "I don't know, but I guess, probably not." β
"Shouke, I want to save you, but I don't know if I'll be able to live. Your Majesty's mind is changing, and I guess today, it may change tomorrow, but whether we can live or not, I still say the same thing. β
She looked at the crown prince with a sad expression, "We people have enjoyed the glory and wealth, even if we die in the end, there is nothing wronged." But Zhao Zhao is different, she really shouldn't be the one who shouldn't die innocently, Shouke, Zhao Zhao is the last bloodline of the Sui family...... Can you bear it? ββ
Of course, the prince couldn't bear it. But the crown prince was still reluctant to send Zhao Zhao away.
He even had some stubbornness, "If things aren't as bad as you think, I'm going to lose Zhaozhao forever." β
The crown princess didn't quarrel with him, she just wanted to tell him everything she knew, "I've heard about Zhaozhao's mother's deeds these days, do you want to hear it?" β
The prince nodded hesitantly.
The crown princess found out that maybe the prince really likes Zhao Zhao, but this sincerity still can't withstand his selfishness, and the more times like this, the more he wants Zhao Zhao to stay by his side.
That's the difference between him and her.
When there is danger, she wants to send people away, but the prince wants to leave people behind to accompany him. He was still timid, still cowardly.
Therefore, His Majesty no longer trusts him.
Your Majesty is afraid that in the end, Shouke will really kill the raccoon slave.
She looked at the prince, "I still have a sentence that I didn't want to say before, I'm afraid that after I say it, it will make you suspicious, but now, I still want to tell you about it." β
She chuckled, "Shouke, do you think Your Majesty will not know about Zhaozhao?" β
The crown prince frowned, "I shouldn't know, right?" β
The crown princess told Zhaozhao's mother about it.
"Your Majesty and her mother also have an intersection, even if I didn't know before, but my father did a crime, Your Majesty went to check him, and naturally it should be found on Zhao Zhao's head, but he has been pretending not to know, why do you think it is?"
The prince was stunned. The crown princess sighed, "Your Majesty should also be watching what decisions you make." β
The prince came back to his senses and sneered: "I left Zhaozhao again, did I disappoint him?" β
The crown princess nodded, "Probably yes." You not only let him down, but you let me down as well. Shouke, Zhao Zhao is not your object, she is alone. β
"Don't say anything else, just say that you are compared with Your Majesty, Mrs. Tangxi left Kyoto intact back then, and later if it wasn't for Taifu going to Jiangnan and meeting her by chance, she would never be involved in royal affairs in her life, and her daughter would not have been deceived into the palaceββ"
With tears in her eyes, she asked: "Shouke, you touch your conscience and say that Your Majesty finally used Zhaozhao to kill you, do you accept it or not." β
The crown prince never thought that there were such twists and turns, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the crown princess say: "You are really much worse than Your Majesty." Your Majesty will become more and more disappointed in you. β
The crown prince was terrified, at this moment, he couldn't help but believe the princess's words, and he defended uneasily, "But no matter what, I won't kill the raccoon slave." β
The crown princess murmured: "Your character has been condemned in Your Majesty's heart. β
"You have no talent, no virtue, and mediocre qualifications. Taifu and Lan Shi you don't save, Taifu and Lan Shi overturned the case, you ignore it, but only care about targeting the King of Jin, Zhaozhao is the daughter of Mrs. Tangxi, in Your Majesty's heart, you have the opportunity he didn't have before, but you don't cherish it, just blindly selfish, now, I tell you, Your Majesty also intends to tell you that your father is the murderer of Taifu and Lan - but you still ignore it. β
"You only think that your father was finally surrendered by you, and you only think that King Jin was finally suppressed by you."
"When you were proud, in the past five or six years, Your Majesty has watched you choose to look the opposite of what he thinks you are."
"Shouke - you said you wouldn't kill a raccoon slave, but Your Majesty doesn't believe it. You know why? β
"Because, a few years ago, Your Majesty wouldn't have believed that he would kill you."
"Since he will, he will be like a Ming Jun, you are so morally inferior, why not?"
For a moment, the prince had nothing to say.
