The recent life of the third prince Xiwen has not been smooth, and can even be said to be troubled and troubled.
Ever since Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the empire, was born, he has been highly praised and expected by the empire.
His stern father and emperor gave him unparalleled attention. And this kind of attention, the third prince, who is his own son, has never received it.
Seeing a young man who is older than himself? How old is he? The young man is so beautiful, and even the general is overshadowed by him. The third prince Xiwen is naturally a little jealous.
But the education of the heir to the empire made him understand that his position is that of a monarch rather than a commander. This young commander has never been his "rival". will be his?. Wu Heng's "glory" grows brighter, and it only adds to his "empire".
Calmness and reason suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and the third prince decided to try to win over the commander in advance, but unfortunately, his overtures did not get a response.
It would be fine if things were just like this, the third prince thought he had enough patience to make that empire's light submit to him willingly. However, a secret discovery completely changed the thinking of the third prince Xiwen.
Two years ago, in order to better understand and subdue this commander, the third prince sent someone to investigate his life and family history, and found out that the other party was blank? Fourteen years, and even found out when the other party had just arrived at the Orphan Relief Center? The? Old photos.
In the blink of an eye, the young boy with green brows and eyes in the photo hit him at a certain moment, reminding him of another person, who also possessed an S-level talent, but died young at the age of six ?genius.
Although the third prince has no memory of his elder brother for a long time, the three-year-old age difference makes him vague about his elder brother's death, but since he was a child, he has never heard how many times his father said in private It's a pity that the other son died early; when the third prince performed outstandingly and tried to get his father's praise countless times, he would be compared with the elder brother who died young by the emperor; Foolish people, when praising the excellence of the third prince, there are always people who can't help sighing "It would be great if the eldest prince survived"... It seems that no matter what, he can't satisfy everyone, It will always be the choice of "the second best" in everyone's mind.
The instant he saw that old photo, the third prince suddenly figured out what was the cause of his jealousy all along.
This may be an empathy.
Because of the gap in talent, everyone thought that he was not as good as their elder brother, and everyone felt sorry for the eldest prince's untimely death. So, when the same S-level Wu Heng appeared in front of his eyes, it was hard not to arouse his long-held unwillingness—what am I not like him? Just because of talent
These dissatisfaction and jealousy were once suppressed by the third prince's rationality, but now they are aroused again by the photo.
"...so much alike. Really? So much alike."
He has stared at the photo left by that elder brother countless times, as if he was talking to the person who no longer exists. So, only he can see the similarity.
Black hair and gray eyes are not a special feature, as many people in the eastern star field of the empire are like this. Wu Heng, who has experienced many years of military career, is completely different from the eldest prince when he was six years old, which is not enough to make people have the slightest association.
But that young? Fourteen-year-old? Wu Heng, looks too much alike. He seemed to have seen the appearance of "If the eldest prince hadn't died young, he would grow up safely" that countless people were thinking about. This made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
To this day, the third prince Xiwen still finds it difficult to recall his state of mind at that time. He just suddenly came up with an absurd guess by accident, and then he couldn't control it anymore, letting that idea keep surging in his heart. .
After that? It's easy. For a? empire? commander who has fought for many years, it is normal for him to be injured and bleed. He easily obtained that commander's? blood, and secretly made a genetic comparison with himself.
As a result, for the third prince, he was not stingy with an earthquake. No one outside knew about the earthquake that happened in his heart.
From that day on, he overturned his plan to be the heir step by step for many years. Because on his way forward, a biggest obstacle appeared. The opponent has changed from the perfect right-hand man in his mind to an object that must be eliminated and then quickly.
Although the third prince Xiwen didn't know why his elder brother who died young was still alive and well, and why he was living outside without anyone knowing, but the results of the genetic comparison can't be deceiving. Who knows? Did any accident happen that year? So the emperor used the eldest prince's death as an excuse to cover up the accident, but in fact, he kept secretly? Did he ever forget his most beloved? What about his eldest son? This seemed to explain his indifference to himself.
Therefore, he had to get rid of that good brother before the emperor found out about the secret. It is best to find a "reasonable excuse" on the surface to cover up one's "purpose" and conceal the truth as much as possible.
After two years of layout, he succeeded!
He has put layers of shells on his? plan.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the third prince is just a pure bystander in the matter of Wu Heng. The few people at the top of the empire may have seen his role as the driving force behind it. And when they investigate deeply, they will find that all this actually originated from boring? Jealousy.
——It is true that Xiwen has become a "love brain" in the eyes of others, and has lowered many people's evaluation of him, but as long as he can keep that secret secret, everything is worth it. Without the biggest competitor, no matter how low his evaluation is, he will be the best on the road to heir.
In the end, he did succeed. Even the emperor was successfully deceived by him, thinking that all this was just due to jealousy, and maybe he thought he had exposed his small scheme and gave him a warning, big or small.
Little did he know that Xiwen was laughing ecstatically in his heart—he had successfully fooled everyone, including his father who was once regarded as an insurmountable mountain.
The moment Wu Heng became a cripple, he knew very well that the other party was no longer enough to worry about. Even if he presents evidence full of loopholes to frame the other party, his powerful father will help him finish it off. Because Wuheng, who has already been deposed, is worthless, at least he won't let the emperor expose his own son for him.
So far, his heir status has been unshakable.
Even if the secret of the other party's life and death is discovered, it is impossible for a useless person to become the heir to the empire.
Originally, everything could have ended here, but the resentment, jealousy, and resentment accumulated in his heart for so many years still drove him to make a move to kill them all. He wants this person who has troubled him for many years to disappear completely from the world.
But it was this move that was not taken seriously by him, but it caused a series of chain reactions, which led to the current third prince Xiwen getting into a lot of trouble.
He thought that he had successfully removed a time bomb that could detonate his heir at any time, and then he only needed to enjoy the glory of the heir to the empire, but the development of the situation was quite different from his imagination .
First of all, Xi Weiwei's accusation against him in the trial hall, although there is no evidence, is very reasonable. For many people, that's enough. Suddenly, there were a lot of comments that were not conducive to him on the star network.
These public opinions without substantive evidence only troubled him for a while, and they will dissipate in a short time. Kelan Yawei, that crazy woman, seemed to be following him.
I don't know if it's to vent her dissatisfaction with being divorced, or she firmly believes that he killed her idol. This woman knocked on the door every three days to challenge him, and then she was beaten up. If he doesn't go out, he will make an appointment on the star network.
Xiwen was really annoyed by her. Avoiding and not fighting will spread the reputation of being cowardly, and it is not good to be beaten all over the head by this woman after fighting. Either way will make the outside people question the third prince as an idiot.
Such doubts were even more troublesome than Xi Wei brought him. After all, the life and death of the traitors in the empire is irrelevant. Even if the third prince really made a move, some extremists would think that he did a good job. But a mediocre and cowardly heir is hard for everyone to let go of. Such? He, really? Can lead the empire? To? Prosperity
In order to avoid Lan Yawei, and at the same time, to restore his own image, the third prince Xiwen resolutely left the imperial capital star and embarked on a parade across the entire territory of the empire. At the same time, he actively developed charitable activities in various places, using various All kinds of ways to show your face in front of people and gain reputation for yourself...
The effect of this method is remarkable, and the public opinion on the Internet is gradually improving, but the price is that it consumes a lot of energy, which keeps him busy every day.
But at this time, Ave came to add to the chaos.
This "sweetheart" who was carefully selected by the third prince has all the qualities of a "beautiful woman".
She was born as a commoner, and because she worshiped Wu Heng, the commander of the empire, she was admitted to the military academy by self-improvement. She was born with a strong sense of justice, even to the extreme, and at the same time possessed unparalleled beauty. Attracted to girls who have never met this type? The third prince seems normal.
When the third prince chose her? No? As for making the outside world think that there was something wrong with his head, or there was another conspiracy. It also makes his "jealousy" look more reasonable.
It's just that the third prince Xiwen didn't expect that when the girl fell into the love trap he woven step by step, and was confused by the gentleness and affection he showed, she also lost herself step by step and relied on him wholeheartedly. .
Is she deeply in love? Can't she extricate herself? It's hard for her to bear the sudden departure of her sweetheart. Even if it's for business, she has to communicate with the third prince remotely almost every day.
And when she chattered about the interesting things in daily life, or complained that the third prince could not be by her side, the third prince was getting more and more bored.
In the past, maybe he didn't mind having a passionate love affair with a beautiful woman who was attached to him wholeheartedly, and even pretended to be real. After all, his stable heir status no longer needed the support of a famous fiancée .
But now, he urgently needs to restore his image, and he doesn't have any mood to deal with these romantic affairs.
Probably Eve is also keenly aware of his indifference. She was at a loss when she fell in love for the first time, so she could only contact him more frequently, try harder to get involved in his life, and even asked for leave from the military academy to find him. He... These things involved more? energy of the third prince Xiwen, and also affected his? mood and state. The originally steady? public welfare undertakings were affected. Someone also took a picture of two people arguing in the street, and it was posted on the star network. There was another wave of heated discussions, of course negative comments.
Just after the third prince Xiwen finally couldn't bear it anymore and completely dismissed Ive's trouble with a quarrel, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but received another contact from another person through a secret channel.
That person is the "Empire" hero Auchan who exposed the former commander's crimes and turned the tide in the recent war. Now he has been promoted to lieutenant general by virtue of that great achievement.
But the emperor is very clear about the inside story? The emperor has already decided not to use this person again. This lieutenant general title may be the most glorious peak in his life.
"...Why did he suddenly find me?"
The third prince Xiwen was a little surprised.
The careful layout of the two years is not nonsense, he has never had any contact with Auchan, but has changed several ways to take advantage of this person. Therefore, according to common sense, Auchan shouldn't know who the mastermind behind the scenes is. It seemed strange to contact him suddenly now.
This gave the Third Prince an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as the two met, Auchan said something that shocked the third prince: "If the citizens of the empire know, the so-called betrayal of the commander of the empire is the third prince's fault." You led it alone? It must have caused a sensation, right?"
The third prince's pupils shrank suddenly, and the palms placed by his side suddenly clenched tightly. Did he have time to think about how Auchan would know? Several thoughts had passed through his mind about this matter, and he quickly regained his composure, revealing a smile:
"So what? Don't you dare to take the risk of being? exiled? to expose the? heir of my empire?"
Auchan frowned, feeling that the script was not quite right, it was not at all what he had imagined.
And the third prince who quickly calmed down had already stood up and looked down at Auchan with sarcasm in his eyes: "What? After you personally pushed down the abyss with your own hand, sir, your non-existent conscience Did you return to your place suddenly? Or... just ready to move? The sense of justice drove you to die with me, the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Auchan's face flushed red: "You, you threatened me? I don't want to..."
"... What you said? It seems like you didn't take advantage of it."
"Come on! If you really have enough justice and loyalty, you won't wear this lieutenant general title. How did it come about? You and I know best."
In the end, the third prince's eyes fell on the opponent's epaulettes unscrupulously, and his tone was very thought-provoking: "So, no matter what else you want, don't try to get it from me. Heh, greedy Isn't it a good quality."
His? voice became low, showing a strange? tenderness.
After being beaten by the third prince, Auchan's arrogance dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He muttered the corners of his mouth a few times, and suddenly thought of something, as if holding a hole card, his expression suddenly cheered up again.
"Yes, I don't? Dare to let other people know? But what about His Majesty the Emperor? Third prince, do you dare to let His Majesty know? Is this matter? The truth? What I want? No? Much..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice. He felt that the third prince looked at him? His eyes were very funny, as if he was looking at a clown.
This made the confidence in Auchan's heart gradually weaken.
And at this moment, the third prince, who was still arrogant before, suddenly smiled and said warmly: "It makes sense. What you said makes sense. Don't worry, I will think about it carefully. I'll have news for you soon."
He smiled and nodded, looking as though he had finally relented. This made Auchan's complexion excited.
The Third Prince sat down again when Auchan left with an excited expression on his face. He quietly looked at the back of the other party, and a deep murderous intent flashed in the depths of his pupils.
— Such a greedy and ignorant person? Guy, it was very convenient to use it at the beginning, but now it is a bit troublesome. Who knows? What other stupid things would he do
—Maybe it's time to find a chance once and for all.
——No, don’t rush, wait for a while, wait for a suitable opportunity, arrange carefully, put aside all relations with yourself, and make everything look like an accident.
However, before the surprise planned by the third prince came, the day after the meeting between the two, Auchan suddenly disappeared.
He disappeared so completely that even the star network that monitors the entire empire has no trace of him.
Auchan's wife panicked and said everything she knew: For example, her husband was very excited before, saying that he had caught the third prince's handle, and he would definitely take the opportunity to blackmail him, and make his ? Career further, so that their ? family environment to get a greater ? improvement. For another example, after returning home that day, my husband was in a very good mood, and everything seemed to be going well...
But that night? Auchan, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly at home, just disappeared for no reason.
When his wife woke up and found that her husband was missing, the first thing that came to her mind was the third prince who was blackmailed by him. This terrified? woman was worried that she would also be murdered to silence her. First of all, she found the most authoritative media on Xingwang and told everything she knew.
The third prince Xiwen was caught in a terrible storm.
·
Desolate Star Territory, it turned out that he was talking with Xi Wei.
During this time, he remotely commanded Xi Wei to do many things.
After explaining the business, Xi Wei hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Auchan is missing, do you know?"
Yuan didn't, because he seemed to have guessed his temptation, he said without any concealment: "I know, he will be sent here soon. Why, do you want to meet? You can let me know in a few days." you saw it."
He smiled and opened his mouth, and what he said seemed as simple as airlifted cabbage.
Xi Wei took a light breath: "...It really is like this."
A few days ago, Yuan Buwei suddenly asked him to find a way to get rid of Auchan, and encouraged that greedy guy to suspect the Third Prince.
Xi Wei's previous accusations in the trial hall had already left traces in many people's minds. Although there was no evidence, many people believed that it was indeed the third prince who attacked the former commander Wu Heng. However, everyone tends to think that this is a kind of hatred for traitors, and they don't think deeply about it.
However, with ghosts in mind? Auchan is not? Definitely. He is very clear about Wu Heng's innocence, and he knows that everything is a conspiracy. It's just that Auchan himself doesn't know? Who is the mastermind behind the scenes
When Xi Wei tried every means to make him connect everything with the third prince, Auchan felt that it made sense.
What the upright people see is bright, but the greedy and despicable people only have conspiracy and calculations in their hearts, so they think that others are the same, but they can't understand it? Compared with #三皇子什么不?图just恩恶如假#, #三皇子是布后主者想打满杀# is obviously much more reliable for him.
With Xi Wei secretly providing various guidance, the more Auchan thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He even recalled many details and thought they were all right. He suddenly felt that he had "guessed" who was behind the scenes. Identity, grabbed the handle.
Afterwards, Xi Wei took the opportunity to set up several tricks for him, causing him to lose a large sum of money and incur huge debts all at once. Auchan was in a state of desperation, so he naturally thought that the third prince could solve his troubles.
Everything in the back will be logical.
—Guide Auchan to discover the truth, and try every means to get him to go to the third prince to ask for benefits, which is the task that was not originally assigned to Xi Weiwei. As for how to do it specifically? It was all carefully designed by him.
But, what he has to do? That's the end. After Auchan meets the third prince, what should he do? Everything will be considered complete.
Therefore, even Xi Wei did not expect that Auchan would disappear, and it happened that he disappeared the next day after looking for the third prince.
When all the evidence pointed to the third prince, he was the first to gain insight into the real man behind the scenes.
He felt very strange. Incredible.
It is really not a simple matter to quietly take away a lieutenant general in the imperial capital, the most heavily defended city in the empire.
Whether it's the monitoring system of the star network, the tight defenses in the lieutenant general's mansion, or even the lieutenant general's strength and vigilance...everything has to be taken into consideration.
Even if you really caught someone, this is only the first step. The most difficult thing is to take people out under the eyes of the empire.
Now it's the third day since the incident happened, and there is a complete martial law in the imperial city, but Auchan is still alive? Does he see anyone? Is he dead? Seeing the corpse, it can be seen that everything is going well.
He looked at the unreasonable eyes of Yuan Yuan, adding a bit of awe.
——The reason for being able to do such a major event quietly? What kind of power and means should he possess
Seeing that Yuan did not seem to care about his temptations, he simply asked, "Do you still have so many people in the imperial capital?" So what about embarrassment
Didn't it? Wei chuckled: "It's just that I made a few more friends."
Xi Weiwei's face suddenly revealed a look of surprise.
As for whether he understands it as the old contacts or the newly opened contacts, only he himself knows clearly.
The original? Because there is not much explanation.
Tool people don't? Need to know? Too much. The distance between Xi Weiwei and Xi Wei is too far. In order not to test each other's trust, before ensuring the other party's 100% loyalty, he is more willing to maintain an unfathomable and mysterious image in front of the other party. , which helps him to use the tool man more easily.
The consideration of not doing so is not entirely unreasonable.
At least now? In Xi Wei's eyes, he is becoming more and more unpredictable. Before he knew it, he had a lot more expectations for the original reason, and he believed more and more in his heart that this person would turn the empire upside down.
… no?, no? just the future. Not now? Already? Have you done it
Think about the Third Prince who was arrested for allegedly murdering the Lieutenant General of the Empire and temporarily imprisoned in the prison in the trial hall. Think about the public opinion that is raging now. Being attacked by this man who was far away on the border of the empire caused quite a storm.
But he seemed to just drop a chess piece casually, and directly messed up the neatly arranged chessboard!
