Chapter 256 (1/2)
However, Duan Tingxuan also understood: it is related to the throne, and it is difficult to predict how much brotherhood can account for under this premise. Do you have no friendship when you are those emperors in history? Li Shimin, the Lord of all ages, and the change of Xuanwu Gate; After Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, the first was to unload the military power of his brothers who put the yellow robe on him; Zhu Yuanzhang is even more cruel. Brothers who live and die together, there are few who let him kill and demote. Are these not friendly emperors? But in the face of the throne, their choice is almost the same ruthlessness.
So on the surface, the little Marquis has a bamboo heart, but in fact he has seven or eight rabbits in his heart. It was not until this time that he saw the prince smiling in the face of his gags, and it was obvious that he did not let the potential threat occupy all his mind that he really put down his heart.
This shows that the crown prince really cares for the fourth prince. The first reaction after hearing this is not how to quietly remove the brother. Otherwise, Duan Tingxuan dances a bear dance in front of him. Do you think he can laugh?
”According to you, what should we do about this?” the prince gasped, thought for a while and asked with a gloomy face, ”does your father know about this?”
”If I don't want to hide it from the emperor, I won't tell the truth to your highness in this study.” Duan Tingxuan smiled bitterly, but saw the crown prince looking at him thoughtfully and whispered, ”so, do you want the chief protector?”
”It's not important whether I want to protect him or not. What's important is whether the crown prince wants to protect him?” Duan Tingxuan said in a deep voice. After finishing a meal, he thought about what he was determined to do, and gritted his teeth: ”Your Highness, the empress is my aunt and we are close cousins. No matter what decision you make, I naturally support you unconditionally. Although I am also friendly with the fourth prince, don't say it's a matter of the royal family. It's not allowed to have any personal relationship. Even if it does, we always have to... Be close.”
”Bah! What you say is good. I don't know? If I make up my mind to get rid of Changjing, my heart will be cold if you don't say it.” His Highness the prince snorted coldly. Without the ability to penetrate people's hearts, why can he become so fat and become the crown prince most valued by the emperor?
Duan Tingxuan was silent, and the crown prince said something about it. If you have to sophisticate and say no, it's impossible. It's really stupid to draw a line with the future emperor of a country, and it's also suspected of contempt for the crown prince's IQ, so he didn't speak, which is tantamount to acquiescence.
”If you don't give up, do you think I will? You just regard him as a cousin, but I regard him as my brother.” His Highness the prince beat the bed, revealed his true feelings, suddenly took a few deep breaths, and then said in a deep voice: ”Princess Jing... Did you have feelings with the king of Xiangyang that day?”
”According to the information disclosed by Lu Fengyu, Princess Jing was... Used by the king of Xiangyang that day...” Duan Tingxuan said without hesitation. This is indeed the news that Lu Fengyu sold her to him.
”This beast, a bastard inferior to animals, i... I will not let him go.” the prince was so angry that his face was purple and beat desperately on the couch.
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly said, ”Your Royal Highness, don't let anyone see the clue. With all due respect, if the emperor knows, even if you want to... Let the fourth Prince go, I'm afraid the Emperor... It's hard to say...”
The prince also knew that Duan Tingxuan was right. It was the East Palace prince. After taking a few deep breaths, he reluctantly suppressed his anger. He saw Duan Tingxuan looking out of the window. He knew it was time to leave.
”Then I'll go back.” as the prince, it's too bad to sneak out. If you stay outside for another night, it's even more important. The prince is not unreasonable. Seeing Duan Tingxuan's hint, he stood up and sorted out his clothes. Then he walked out with a dignified face.
”Your Highness.”
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly stopped him, then came to him a few steps and said in a deep voice: ”Your Highness came in a hurry, but now he rushed out in a rage. His face looks as heavy as I owe you one million liang of silver. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to see such a strange state in the eyes of others, especially the emperor's insight... That... You know...”
”I know, of course I know.” the prince nodded, but soon he whispered, ”but how the fuck do you let me go out? After I know such news?”
Duan Tingxuan:... It's strange. Did the prince say dirty words?
”I don't care. You say something that can make me happy and let me out of here happily.” the prince began to make trouble without reason. He only heard the little Marquis's black line all over his head: ”where can I make the prince happy? Your highness, don't force people to be difficult.”
