Chapter 295 “Royalty”
At the moment Prince Son's voice sounded very soft and delicate, exactly like the rorasp full authoritative power
“Du Wei, I know it too I ht now, but it's inevitable that so I' father Big brother may have started a rebellion, but he did die in the end And as promised, I did not deprive hiave hi to his last wishes It's just that, regardless of race, people are bound to feel syh I ent, but ht now is still a little aard… And my father, humph! My father hasn't been all that restless either in the palace these past two years I know public opinion of ood out there, and there's bound to be those that wishes to cause trouble using this, but what else can be done? That day it was either I die or my brother, and who's the one that pushed us into that situation? Its father I tell you! I may not have personally killed my brother that day, but I know there's blood onto ate it, in fact, he pushed it even harder for his oishes!”
The last remark made Du Wei's face take on a different shade… What? Is there soain?
According to the current noro in the capital has already come to a verdict
The ustine the 6th have already crowned his eldest son as the crown prince early on in his years+, but then as he aged, he suddenly wishes to change it to his youngest son This eventually threatened the crown prince's position, forcing the eldest son into a coup
Can… Can it be that wasn't the case?
“Indeed, that wasn't the case!” Prince Son began laughing hard at Du Wei's surprised expression: ”Du Wei, I can probably guess what you are thinking How can I not know about the sayings out there? Unfortunately, whether it'sbut victims of my father!”
Speaking up to here, Prince Son suddenly swings around and calls out to the palace guards over in the distance: ”All of you go down I and the Duke have soarden! Whoever eavesdrops will be killed on site!”
Making a salute, those golden arhts obediently left the premise
Then round and sat there on the spot Because the season was still technically winter, the greenery in the palace had all withered away, leaving nothing but cold hard dirt Watching the ruler of the ereens, Du Wei blinked out of hesitation before sitting down next to the Regent
“Du Wei, want to hear a story?”
The remark causes Du Wei to make an extremely aard smile
damn it … What the heck? These days I see me stories First was Maximos, then QQ's different version of himself, and now this?
But whether Du Wei's willing or not, this story ent of an empire when he demands to tell you a story?
Besides, Du Wei's curious too…
Making a sh, Prince Son stretches out his hand and plucks a thorny vine froers, he re his story: ”I was ten back then…
Froht that I am the happiest person in this world
The glory and honor of being born in the royal family, the noble blood and status of a prince…
Those around enius prince isdom and looks Truth be told, I've always known those words were merely hypocritical compliments
And I, was e earlier than the rest
Everyone thought father favors uess you can say he favors ot at fifty years of age, so it's only to be expected I' to the stories, my father had alanted another son, but the royal concubines could only give hie after the baby turns out to be a girl… Ha!
Finally, when ave birth to me, she was relieved
But…… When I was little, I didn’t knohy, but I've always had a strange feeling, this feeling… It's from my dearest father!
Yes, my royal father!
I became sensible early on so my wisdom showed itself earlier than the rest It was also because of this reason that I was lectured so young Whether it was the court scholars, star readers, or court enuity and how gifted I am
But, ination? Because every time those people praise me in front of e… It's not like that of a loving father's looking down at his favorite son
That look, it’sdown at a cub that's about to grow old enough to flex its claw! He saw me as a threat, a potential threat of the future
That kind of look, I felt danger, an instinctive unease like so threatened!
Although … Father hid those eyes deep, deep inside hiuely understood one point by then:
Truth was, father doesn't favor or dote on me as much as everyone makes it out to be
Perhaps, his fondness of me was merely an act he intentionally did for appearance sake
When I was little, I didn’t understand why
But at ten, I finally understood!
That year was father’s sixtieth birthday
Though he's the supreme ruler of the Empire, the emperor of the continent, the most powerful man on the continent, but he's sixty by then A person will inevitably grow old, the world is like that Yet people never change When they age, they tend to hold onto things even harder and refuse to let go!
That year I was only ten whenafter father's birthday dinner She was so full of joy when she told e the crown to me!
The only thing was, father only leaked a little bit of his intentions when the nobles present that night fiercely opposed the idea The matter was then strictly forbidden to be aired around the capital so very fe about the incident
Circulating outside right now is that father intended to transfer the crown towanted to do that even back when I was but ten
Alright, let ht when I was ten…
Mother, she’s not a oht that if I could be the crown and beco So she was very happy, after all, if father had this , then perhaps this will co woe and iht
But that night, that's when I truly felt the danger!
It's the kind of chill that runs thoroughly inside the body!!
Everyone was correct in calling me smart because compared to my peers, I was sensible earlier than the rest
At that tiic: this world will never give you so without reason!
Yes, I was very young and wise, and my teachers praised me for it Even a lot of the aristocratic ministers in the banquet would praise me for my youthful wisdom…
However, no matter how smart or talented a ten year old child ould a father change his mind and replace a crown prince?
You know, at that ti brother was already over thirty that year His ood and he also participated in the early years of the war in the Northwest Although his perfor, he does deserve coradually gather a group of loyal followers under his tea brother did well for his age He handle the state affairs well, he dealt with hly, and…
A ten year old boy, even if I was ifted back then, my performance only circles aroundboy overwhelm a thirty year oldranks?
Others may believe it's possible, but I personally don't!
Would father let go of a thirty year old son that have proven himself over the years and pick a ten year old child that's still wet behind his ears? I say not! No normal person would think that!
Funny part was, ht that the news of father's intent was a good thing! But I knew it then… danger was co!
