[Ding, the meal eunuch confessed to his accomplices.] The system determines that the concubine plan has failed, and the crisis between the host and Gui Sheng has been resolved. ]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest 2 and earning 100 points.] ]

[System Upgrade Starts ......]

[The "Subset of History" section will be opened to the host in three days, so stay tuned.] ]

A series of prompts sounded in the minds of the third prince.

The third prince stood in the small square courtyard, his face showing a trace of tiredness that could not be concealed.

He simply sat down, leaned back, and lay on the weeds, with one hand on the back of his head and the other on his forehead, blocking out the sun and blocking his eyes, making it impossible to see the true emotions in his eyes.

[Eat a piece of candy.] ]

The third prince replied with a sullen "um", untied the purse from his waist, took out a piece of toffee and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed the candy and said vaguely: "Que'er still didn't ask about Gui Sheng's situation until the last moment......

[How is Gui Sheng's recovery today?] You and Que'er have been chatting in the courtyard for so long, and you don't see any movement in his house. ]

The third prince was stunned by the question.

Can the system still not know Gui Sheng's situation?

[You see, the persimmons she didn't eat will be eaten by others.] Questions she didn't ask, others would ask. ]

All the unease seems to have vanished at this moment.

The third prince thought that the original intention of being abandoned by others would also be cherished by others.

[Betrayal is always a sad thing, but thankfully, there are other people in this world who deserve our trust.] Isn't it? ]

The third prince couldn't help laughing: "When you say other people, do you mean yourself?" ”

[Of course.] ]

Yao Rong decisively admitted, and quickly asked rhetorically: [Do you think I am worthy of being trusted?] ]

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately, but lowered his eyes to think carefully.

Yao Rong waited patiently for his answer.

She knew very well that there must be a lot of confusion and hesitation in the heart of this child for her existence.

It's just that he had more important and urgent things to deal with before, and the initial trust between the two had not yet been established, even if he had more ideas in his heart, he would not be open and honest with her.

So a few days ago, Yao Rong was not in a hurry to communicate with this child.

It wasn't until now that she opened her mouth to find out.

"Are you really sent by Emperor Taizu?"

Without waiting for Yao Rong to answer, the third prince continued: "Whether it is or not, it doesn't really matter. ”

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows.

"I think I trust you."

"It doesn't matter where you come from or who you are."

The third prince grew up in the cold palace since he was a child, and he did not have brocade clothes and food, but with Aunt Chunyu and Gui Sheng to shelter him from the wind and rain, he did not encounter too many ups and downs.

Until the past few days, he encountered the biggest bump in his life.

When he was helpless and overwhelmed, it was the system that had been accompanying him and helping him and Gui Sheng survive the catastrophe......

Origin and identity can be faked, but friendship cannot be faked.

Besides, the system is so powerful, is there anything he deserves to be deceived by the system.

It took so much effort to deceive him, it was better to deceive Emperor Yongqing directly.

The winter afternoon sun is not scorching, with a little lazy feeling, and the sun makes people sleepy. The third prince turned his face sideways, his long, curly eyelashes drooping and covering his eyelids, his expression was calm, and his breathing gradually lightened.

Just when Yao Rong thought he was asleep, the third prince suddenly said softly: "Actually, I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days. ”

"Part of the reason is that I was worried that Gui Sheng would have a high fever in the middle of the night. Part of the reason is—"

"I think your presence is like a sweet dream."

"I'm afraid that one day when I open my eyes, you'll leave without warning, just as you came."

Maybe when he woke up from the dream, he was still the helpless third prince in the cold palace, and he had never encountered any Mingjun cultivation system, and he couldn't save Gui Sheng, who depended on him for his life.

So the first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to ask the system "Are you there?"

After getting a response from the system, he got up and washed.

Yao Rong quietly listened to him dissect his thoughts, and waited for him to stop talking before asking, [Why are you worried?] ]

"Maybe it's because I don't know why you chose me."

"Que'er abandoned me for the sake of status and wealth. I know you're different from Magpie. That's why I get even more scared. ”

"What you want is for me to become the co-master of the world."

"Status and wealth, after hard work, are still possible to obtain. But that position is not something that can be obtained with hard work. Maybe I won't be able to achieve this goal for the rest of my life. ”

"How long can you wait? One year, two years...... Or five years, ten years......"

"I did not have the capital to become an emperor, nor did I have the ambition to become an emperor. I've been looking at it again and again for the past few days, but I can't find my strengths. ”

Yao Rong's expression became unconsciously serious and serious: [Don't be presumptuous. ]

The third prince smiled bitterly, is this self-indulgence?

This is self-aware.

He trusts the system.

What he doubted was himself.

He doesn't worry about the system cheating on him.

What he fears is that the system will abandon him.

Of course, Yao Rong knew such a fluttering word, and there was no way to expel the hesitation in the hearts of the three princes. She organized the language and suddenly asked him: [What capital do you think you need to become an emperor?] ]

The third prince opened his mouth.

- What capital do you need to become an emperor?

He doesn't really know.

But he felt that compared to him, the fifth prince or the sixth prince undoubtedly had an advantage.

Even the four princes, who have a lowly status as a concubine, are much more suitable.

[Is it like the five princes, with the favor of the emperor?]

What kind of person Emperor Yongqing is, you should have seen it through.

Such a selfish and cold, unbearable emperor, unbearable father, his love, as cheap as paper, also deserves to become capital? ]

[Or like the Six Princes, with a powerful maternal clan?]

Today, if you rely on a powerful mother to become emperor, your mother will inevitably become a hindrance to you in the future.

They will rely on their former kindness to interfere with you and point fingers at you. ］

[What you lack is ability, learning the way to govern the country.]

If you are proficient in applying the Emperor's Mind now, and have the ability to govern the country and pacify the world, then what else do you want me to do with the cultivation system of the Ming Monarch? ]

Speaking of this, Yao Rong's eyes bent slightly: [As for ambition...... Then there is no need to worry. ]

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. For the past twelve years, the boy had never imagined that he would become emperor, and certainly would not have the ambition to do so.

However, if he succeeds in his studies in the future, the imperial throne is within reach, and all he can see is the injustice of the world, will he be willing to give this world to others?

At that time, one step forward is the mountains and rivers in his hands, and one step back is the misery of life, and he will make the most correct choice.

[Do you remember, I told you that you were the right fit.] At the time, I didn't tell you where this 'best' manifested, but now, I can tell you. ］

[You have not abandoned Gui Sheng.] ]

You have never abandoned the city and fled north, and you tried your best to plan to change the way of life for the people of the city and the people of the world.

[You are resolute and calm, and you will not be indecisive in acting in front of a life-and-death crisis, but you have a bottom line and can restrain yourself.] ］

The world says that you are cowardly and incompetent, but Ji Yushan, who has been in power for more than ten years, died in your hands.

You can expand the killing, you can be crazy, you can be hysterical, you can let more people bury you and the Daye Dynasty, and you can ignore the flood after death.

But you don't.

You restrained your bottom line, arranged everything, and finally died alone and dignified in the Star Picking Palace.

[You are brave and resourceful, solve the crisis alone, and defuse the concubine's conspiracy.] ]

No one has ever taught you how to be an emperor.

But you embody the responsibility and determination that an emperor should have.

No one has ever told you what it means to be a king.

But you have done it with all the people of the world in mind.

Abandoned in the wilderness, gems are still gems. The pearl is covered with dust, but it is still a pearl.

[And most importantly—]

[Once the system is bound to the host, there is no way to unbind it.] ]

[You are my first choice and my only choice, and I don't have to worry about me leaving suddenly one day.] I will be with you until the last moment of your life. ]

There is no way to untie blood and family ties.

You are my child.

It's the child who didn't have time to take a look, laughed in the Star Picking Palace and said that he shouldn't have survived, and denied the meaning of his existence with his own mouth.

[If what I said above is not enough to convince you, then you should seriously remember my words below-]

The third prince's eyes widened slightly, and his breathing was subconsciously held, waiting for Yao Rong's next words.

[I am the Mingjun cultivation system, how to cultivate you to become a Mingjun, this is a problem I need to consider, you don't need to think so far. In my opinion, as long as you complete the tasks I have issued well and master the knowledge I teach, you will definitely be able to achieve the ultimate goal of "Mingjun". ]

[It's not just out of trust in your abilities, it's out of my trust in my own abilities.] ]

[So, leave those distant things to me, you just need to take care of the moment-]

[Like now, get some good sleep?] ]

Like the ripples of dragonflies skimming across the water, the smile on the corners of the three princes' lips also expanded little by little, and finally turned into a bright smile.

"I see."

"As long as you don't leave, I will do as you say and complete all the tasks you have arranged conscientiously." ：，，
