At this moment, the starry sky is over, the night is cold, and the cool breeze is through the bones.

Right next to the woods in this wilderness, Chen Daolin and Prince Xiluo sat looking at each other, and the elite sergeants around them stood in the distance, and there was a sense of murder in the air!

Chen Daolin looked at His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince in front of him in surprise, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why his request was.

If nothing else, if even Carmen hid it, wouldn't it be ...... You must know that Carmen is the number one person in the Academy of Magic! If Carmen knows that it was Shiloh who saved his life, it will be regarded as a great favor owed to him! It can even be said that the entire Academy of Magic owes this prince a great favor!

One can imagine how precious it is to make such an influential figure as Dean Carmen owe a life-saving grace! What an astonishing value!

And these, this Prince Shiloh, doesn't want them all?

......

"You know, I ...... is a prince. ”

It seemed to be a long time before Shiloh said such a sentence softly, with a sigh.

"I ...... Don't understand. ”

Shiloh laughed: "You have been in the imperial capital for many days, and if you think about it, you should have some understanding of the current situation in the imperial capital." ”

Chen Daolin nodded.

Xi Luo's eyes were even more strange, he looked at Chen Daolin intently, and then slowly continued: "There are some words, you don't have to say them so cloudy. Master Darling is a young genius, and naturally he is not a mediocre person, so our conversation can also dispense with those secrets. Master Darling...... I just want you to understand that I ......"

Speaking of this, Shiloh's eyes actually seemed to be a little helpless: "I...... I don't want to get into these troubles. ”

Chen Daolin frowned.

Seeing that Chen Daolin didn't speak, Xiluo said quietly: "I am twenty-eight years old this year, and I have come to this royal family since I was born. From birth, take the initiative to have a distinguished identity and title. When I was ten years old, my royal brother was already twenty years old, and he became the crown prince, and he trained in the Thor's Whip Legion. At that time, although I lived a very wealthy life, the people around me, whether it was my teacher or my father. Or other people, all of them are clear and secret, constantly reminding me in various ways to be careful about my duty, and they hint at me in various ways. Let me understand, let me remember: I am the prince of the empire, and I will be a noble prince in the future...... However, it is only limited to the Prince! There is absolutely no possibility of going further!"

Chen Daolin's expression was stunned, and he was surprised and surprised when he heard Xiluo actually talk about this topic.

"I've never had the idea of being a free man, and I'm content to be a free-spirited prince. In the future, he will be a free-spirited prince. But...... Being in the royal family, for some disputes, you can't avoid them no matter how you dodge!" Shiloh's eyes darkened: "The royal brother is the crown prince, and he is going to inherit the throne." He will naturally train a group of people, in the aristocracy, in the official, in the army...... However. Where there are people, there is fighting! Although the imperial brother has gathered a group of people around him, then there must be many people who are on the opposite side of him. Even if you don't want to be his enemy. However, if the imperial brother's team wants to ascend to the throne in the future, take power, and become the big man who guards the emperor's future, they must squeeze out many people, they must seize the interests of many people, and their interests will be lost. So...... These people are always unwilling. They...... If you want to keep your power and protect your interests, you can only confront my imperial brother and his team. However...... If you want to fight against a future emperor, then no matter what you do, you will still lose in the end. There's only one way to win...... Unless they bring out a crown prince and a new emperor themselves!"

The corners of Chen Daolin's eyes jumped slightly.

Shiloh is still slowly narrating: "Since I was ten years old, there have been many people, openly and secretly, trying to get close to me, curry favor with me, and even bewitch me and encourage me. They tried to push me out, they tried to lift me up...... There are always people who, in various ways, have shown me goodwill and pledged their allegiance to me...... I don't want to fight, but they try to make me fight, I don't want to do it, they always encourage me to do it. When I was 12 years old, there were people outside who waved my banner to solicit allies, and a group of people had already united to support me in my bid for the crown prince. And the funny thing is that most of those people I don't know at all, and the few I know are just hastily met and said a few words in a daze when they were deliberately arranged. ”

Chen Daolin still didn't speak...... He really didn't know how to talk about this kind of topic, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

"When I was twelve, my father beat me, and he executed several nobles who acted outside in my name in one fell swoop, went to deprive me of my fiefs, and purged the generals of Thor's Whip. My father even warned me one night, he told me that there are some things that are not allowed to fight, that belongs to my royal brother, if I don't fight, I can be rich and noble for a lifetime, and if I dare to fight, then I may die. ”

Chen Daolin sighed secretly.

He can understand it, though. In the past hundred years, the Roland Empire, in all aspects, has set the national policy of the empire on the route of stable development.

The empire needs long-term steady development. And the internal needs to be stable, so an order of the change of imperial power is extremely important. The current handsome emperor was established as the crown prince very early, and he received the education of the crown prince, and the old emperor also deliberately acquiesced in his cultivation team, so that a series of practices could cultivate an excellent successor to the throne for the empire.

In this case, the empire does not need, and will never allow a challenger to the imperial power, to appear!

Therefore, this Prince Shiloh is destined to have no hope of ascending to the throne.

Shiloh said this and smiled lightly: "Fortunately, I have never had any ambitions myself. I've never had much interest in the throne. I like to be at ease and do what I want to do. I see that the imperial brother is young, and he has to endure so many hardships and do so many things every day...... When he was in his early twenties, he already had gray hair. In order to maintain the perfect image of the crown prince, he can't just play around. Can't get close to women, can't like music...... Otherwise, it will be said that it is a plaything and demoralized. That kind of crown prince, don't do it. So, I never fight, so, I've been dodging.

"When I was fifteen years old, my father died, my brother became the new emperor, and I became the prince of the empire. After the imperial brother ascended the throne. In order to consolidate the throne, a group of people who had been against him were purged. It is not surprising that any emperor would do the same. In any emperor, there will always be some enemies. However, I know that this kind of thing will cause me a lot of trouble. Truly. Someone contacted me secretly, someone tried to stand by my side. I chose to escape, I left the imperial capital, and played freely everywhere, but I refused to stay in the imperial capital, in the middle of this whirlpool.

Three years ago. The royal brother had an accident, his child died, and then he fell from his horse and was injured, and he has not been a follower since he was seriously injured...... And so my trouble came again, wherever I hid. There will always be some people, some forces, who will come to me and try to convince me. Move closer to me, they want to push me up. Hold me out. In the past few years, I have been running from south to north and from east to west...... You may not imagine that I, a dignified prince of the empire, am like a fugitive, constantly avoiding those who want to support me as emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Luo glanced at Chen Daolin and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to go back to the imperial capital this time." Because I know that the recent matter about Lichu, the imperial capital has become a mess. At this time, I ran back, and I was really asking for trouble. I've been hiding in the Southern Swamps for months...... But in the end, it was a personal letter from the imperial brother, who ordered me to rush back to the imperial capital before the New Year anyway, and I had to return as a last resort. At last night's banquet, I don't know how many people gave me all kinds of hints, some made various promises to me in person, and some made an appointment with me to meet in private...... Poor for one of my imperial princes, he didn't dare to live in the imperial capital, so he could only escape from the imperial capital overnight and live in the royal palace on the outskirts of the city. I have made up my mind, before the New Year's celebration, there is no big thing, and I will not enter the imperial capital if I am killed!"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "That...... Your Highness, you really ...... Do you really have no idea about the throne?"

Shiloh smiled, he looked at Chen Daolin: "If I sue you for nothing, do you believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it. Chen Daolin shook his head: "That is the throne after all! The supreme and supreme position, commanding the world, life and death are taken!"

"Yes, I don't believe it myself. Xiluo winked at Chen Daolin and laughed in a low voice: "Actually...... I'll be honest with you, when I was young, I did have some motivations and thoughts. ”

"Oh?"

Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he suddenly became curious.

This prince, who is recognized as having always been dismissive of the throne, actually ...... Did you ever want to be an emperor?

"It was when I was eleven or twelve years old, and I was deliberately bewitched by some people who were close to me, and I only felt that the throne was so tempting, and once I sat on it, I could command the world, how majestic it was. Some people even sinister and provoke my jealousy of the imperial brother, which made me can't help but think: I am also the son of my father, so why must the throne be his? Why is my father so partial? I have not never thought of this. ”

Chen Daolin was stunned.

"But...... At that time, I was very young and did not understand many of the dangers of the world. Shiloh smiled bitterly: "My father woke me up in time with a bloody fight!" I just told you that when I was twelve years old, my father purged several nobles who tried to support me in one go. And that night, I was called over by my father, and I saw with my own eyes that those people who had bewitched me were stripped of their gorgeous clothes and knelt in the snow! My father ordered the warriors of the Imperial Forest Army to strangle these people to death in the snow in front of me! At that time, my father told me the truth about this incident: You are not allowed to rob your brother's things!"

Chen Daolin's heart sank.

Shiloh smiled bitterly: "I was frightened at the time, and for a long time afterwards, I was very afraid of my father, and even hated him for a while, I hated why he did this to me." But then, I finally understood. Just after my father's death, I was with my brother at my father's bedside......"

Chen Daolin's heart pounded when he heard this!

"My father took my brother's hand, first explained some important state affairs to him, and then ...... He grabbed the imperial brother with one hand and pointed at me with the other, and said to the imperial brother: The imperial throne has been given to you, so you must ensure that your younger brother is safe for the rest of his life! Unless it is a great crime of treason and rebellion, you must not harm him with a single finger in your life!"

Speaking of this, Shiloh's face became more and more gloomy, and he smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Then, my father actually let the imperial brother go out first, leaving me alone to kneel in front of his bed." He finally took my hand and said to me, "I know you hate me, but in fact, I have always loved you most in my heart." People among the people have the habit of favoring young children, let alone me. It is precisely because I love you so much that I don't want you to get involved in those power struggles, and as your father, I only want you to live a happy and simple life. ...... Then, my father held my hand and closed his eyes. ”

Chen Daolin's heart jumped a few times.

Shiloh seemed to turn his face sideways, looking at the dark wilderness in the distance, and after a while, he whispered, "Therefore, I never had the idea of competing with the imperial brother again. Over the years, I've lived my life at ease, and I don't pursue those things anymore. Sometimes, I used to think about what would happen if I were the emperor, but I quickly told myself that I couldn't do better than the emperor. To the Empire, he is an excellent and good emperor, and I, a rich and noble prince who is carefree, have lived a very happy life in this life. ”

After saying this, Shiloh turned around and stared at Chen Daolin: "Mr. Darling, do you believe these words of mine?"

Looking at Xiluo's clear eyes, Chen Daolin nodded: "I believe it!"

"So...... I've been hiding for so many years, and I don't want to get involved in anything at this critical time. Shiloh smiled faintly: "Then this request of mine, please be sure to agree!"

Chen Daolin thought for a while, but his face suddenly changed!

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Shiloh, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Your Highness...... Don't...... What did you guess? You just want to stay out of it, don't you...... The assassination of Dean Carmen will have something to do with the ownership of the crown prince?!"
