His Highness the Crown Prince didn't need to care about the little things they did before, because no matter what they did, they were just innocuous things that did not threaten his status. For the sake of his father, His Highness the Crown Prince did not want to argue with them.
But what they have done now has completely exceeded the bottom line of His Highness the Crown Prince. This time he can be said to have taken a move on the edge of life and death. If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of Qi Wang that day, even if His Highness the Crown Prince had not been killed by them on the spot, he would have They will be forced off the cliff by them. At that time, they will be close to death. Even if they can come back, I am afraid it will not end well.
His Highness the Crown Prince was originally a good-natured person, if their actions were not aimed at exterminating him like this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not bring this matter up in front of the Emperor, but this time he It was impossible to tolerate it any longer.
Even if it would make the emperor unhappy, even if he tore off the mask of brothers and sisters, he still had to let his father see clearly, facing the temptation of the throne, facing the position of the ninety-five supreme, there is no No one can resist such a temptation.
Even those well-behaved good sons he thought could not.
This time the emperor fell into a long silence, his eyes fell on his son, looking at his face similar to his own, and seeing the decisive dark color in his eyes, the emperor knew that His Highness the Crown Prince Seriously once.
"Father, my son said something disrespectful. If they dare to attack you this time, they will not guarantee that they will not attack you next time. You must know that people are greedy, and they have forgotten their duty."
People's greed is endless, especially in the royal family, as a prince, facing the easy-to-get throne, who can keep the original intention? Even if His Royal Highness's mother's family is powerful, even if His Royal Highness is a legitimate heir, they always want to fight.
This time the emperor was silent for a long time, just when His Royal Highness thought that the Emperor would not speak, the emperor sighed a long time, and looked at His Highness with tired eyes.
"What do you want?"
The emperor's words already showed that he had compromised, and His Royal Highness kowtowed to the emperor and revealed his plan.
Seeing his son's appearance, the emperor looked a little older than before. He is sixty-five years old this year, no matter how healthy he is, he is already an old man who has passed his sixtieth year. After all, the son still fought for the throne, and began to kill his blood brother. The emperor's heart was full of helplessness.
Except for the son he raised with his own hands, none of the other three sons are suitable to sit in the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme. After the other sons became adults, he sent them to the fiefdom. His intention was already very obvious. Those children would keep their own place, but he didn't expect that these people would have other thoughts after all.
From the perspective of the emperor, these sons are his flesh and blood, he doesn't want to see his sons killing each other because of the throne, but the facts are in front of him, and he also knows that what he thinks is too naive.
The emperor closed his eyes, and soon he calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, the complex emotions such as tiredness had disappeared, and his eyes returned to calmness.
"You can do whatever you want, and I will help you. After this matter is over, I will sit in your place."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sat in the position of the Crown Prince for too many years, so long that the other sons mistakenly think that he can only be the Prince for the rest of his life.
For so many years, the emperor has seen everything His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done. He is proud of his meticulously cultivated son. In the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise, those sons may still be ready to move, and in the end, maybe only one of my four sons will be left behind.
After saying these words, the emperor was silent for a while, and then spoke again.
"The only request I have from you is that after you find that person, you will spare his life because he is your blood brother. I have no other request other than that."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded solemnly, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the emperor three times. Hearing the sound of his head hitting the ground, the emperor closed his eyes wearily.

In recent days, King Huainan and King Ruyang often invite King Qinghe to drink in the mansion. Those two people seem to be competing with each other. If you treat King Qinghe to a meal, the other will invite King Qinghe to drink. Two meals.
And King Qinghe was regarded as an object of competition by his two elder brothers. He drank from morning to night almost every day, and he never got sober. King Qinghe was really afraid of his two elder brothers, so he ran out of the city early every morning, either in the villa outside or in the field outside, and came back when the city gate was about to close. King Huainan and King Ruyang.
This day, he was still the same as the previous few days, he left the palace early in the morning and went outside the city to indulge himself.
This day he went to his hot spring Zhuangzi outside the capital city. After relaxing in Zhuangzi, he originally planned to spend the night in Zhuangzi, but after thinking about it, he finally came back before the city gate closed.
However, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the housekeeper hurriedly greet him.
The butler's complexion looked extremely bad, as if the sky had fallen, King Qinghe raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.
"The prince is not well. At noon, the emperor sent someone to send a letter asking you to go to the palace as soon as possible."
Because King Qinghe goes out of the city every day, and wherever he goes is random, even the servants left in the mansion don’t know where King Qinghe went, so even if they want to find someone, they have no way to find him, they can only wait. Seeing King Qinghe come back, after finally waiting for the person to come back, the housekeeper hastily told the story of the emperor's sent person.
After hearing what the steward said, King Qinghe frowned and asked directly.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?"
The butler shook his head: "I didn't say what happened, but he looks very bad, you should go to the palace quickly."
Upon hearing this, King Qinghe simply got on his horse again and was about to go to the palace. Seeing this, the butler hurriedly pulled the reins.
"My lord, is it too impolite for you to go into the palace like this? It's better to change your clothes before going."
King Qinghe shook his head.
"Father also knows my personality. I am the most impatient with red tape and etiquette. Father doesn't need to use the usual rules to restrict me. What's more, father sent someone over at noon. It's already evening. I It's better to go to the palace as soon as possible to see what happened."
After saying these words, King Qinghe raised his whip and whipped it directly on the horse's buttocks. The steed let out a rhythmic cry, raised its hooves and ran towards the palace.
The housekeeper looked at King Qinghe's leaving back, and the anxious look on his face became more intense.
When King Qinghe was here just now, the housekeeper failed to tell King Qinghe that when the father-in-law sent by the emperor came over, his expression was not very good. He guessed that something happened to the emperor
A disrespectful thought just passed through the housekeeper's own mind. He didn't even dare to say it. After all, such things are taboo. He could only guess randomly, and even told King Qinghe what he guessed. Don't dare.
When King Qinghe arrived at the palace, he found that both King Huainan and King Ruyang were in the palace, and his father's complexion was extremely bad, as if he had suffered a huge blow. After King Qinghe came in, he bowed respectfully. Greetings to the emperor.
The emperor frowned when he saw King Qinghe's appearance.
"I sent someone to call you into the palace at noon, why did you come here until now?"
King Qinghe replied: "Report to my father, my minister went out of the city, and I didn't know that you sent my minister to the palace. After returning to the mansion, my son heard the report from the servant, and immediately rushed to the palace. .”
King Qinghe didn't know what happened, but whether it was the emperor or King Huainan and King Ruyang, the expressions on their faces were not very good. The uneasiness in King Qinghe's heart became more and more intense, his temper was very straightforward, and he said whatever he thought.
"Father, what exactly happened? My son sees that your face is not very good. What's the matter?"
After hearing King Qinghe's words, the emperor's face turned gray. He didn't say anything, but waved to King Qinghe, asking him to ask King Huainan and King Ruyang.
King Qinghe was also quite stubborn. After seeing the emperor's actions, he went to ask his two older brothers what happened.
It was King Ruyang who told King Qinghe that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had returned.
"It's just that my brother was attacked on the way back to the city, and he accidentally fell off the cliff... My brother's leg was broken..."
King Huainan and King Ruyang immediately entered the palace after receiving the news sent by the emperor, and then they were taken by the emperor to the East Palace, where they saw His Highness the Crown Prince lying unconscious on the bed.
His Highness the Crown Prince's appearance looked extremely bad, and his right leg was completely wrapped up. According to the imperial doctor, His Highness the Crown Prince's leg was seriously injured. Even if the bones were connected, there was a high possibility that he would become disabled.
Not long after His Highness the Crown Prince was born, he was established as the Crown Prince. He was raised by the Emperor himself, and when he grew up, he was an unshakable Crown Prince. No one could shake his position, but now His Royal Highness's leg is broken, and The imperial physician even said that His Royal Highness may not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.
The matter is indeed extremely serious. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince is the next king. Throughout the ages, a king must be a healthy person. If His Highness the Crown Prince's leg is broken, then he will miss the position of Crown Prince and will never be able to ascend again. On the throne.
Although King Ruyang didn't make the matter so serious, after listening to King Ruyang's words, King Qinghe felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He widened his eyes and looked at King Ruyang, and then looked at King Huainan finally turned his eyes to the emperor slowly. When he saw the emperor's gloomy face, King Qinghe's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and then he took two steps back , said aloud.
"Absolutely impossible. The prince's elder brother is lucky. How could such a thing happen? I don't believe it! The imperial doctor must have made a wrong diagnosis. No, I also know a lot of great doctors, all of whom are well-known doctors. These miracle doctors heard that they can bring the dead back to life, so I will send people to snatch them all."
As King Qinghe spoke, tears began to flow down his face. His eyes were so red that the tears fell more and more fiercely. He couldn't even see the road in front of him clearly. After walking two steps, he staggered and fell. He fell to the ground, but soon struggled to get up again, then wiped away his tears and was about to run outside.
Seeing his gaffe, King Huainan raised his hand and pulled King Qinghe in from the outside. Looking at King Qinghe who was still struggling to run outside, he said angrily.
"Fourth brother, calm down. The imperial doctors in the palace are the best doctors in the world. Even they are helpless. Do you think those rural doctors outside are really capable of saving the prince?"
However, King Qinghe's tears were flowing more and more at this time, he didn't even care about wiping away his tears, turned his head, looked at his brother fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice.
"How do you know if you don't try it? The medical skills of those genius doctors are passed on outside, and many people have personally proved their medical skills, saying that their medical skills do exist. Why can't we try it? I don't care, I'm willing to do anything for the prince's brother."
Qinghe Wang Mingming was born very thin, but at this moment his body seemed to burst out with endless power. He threw off Huainan Wang directly, and was about to run outside with a sullen head.
When the emperor saw King Qinghe's appearance, a look of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Fourth brother, come back to me, what are you still causing trouble at this time? Do you want to go and see the prince? He is now He should have woken up, you have the best relationship with him, why don't you go and have a look, maybe he can feel better."
King Qinghe's body froze in place, and the tears fell more fiercely, and then he wiped away the tears indiscriminately, trying not to look so sad.
"Father, is the prince really awake? The minister is going to see the prince now..."
After saying this, King Qinghe turned around and ran outside without waiting for the emperor to say anything else. He was going to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and see if he really broke his leg. He didn't believe himself It must be a fake that the wise and powerful prince brother will break his leg.
King Qinghe almost trotted all the way to the East Palace. He hardly encountered any obstacles along the way, and he arrived outside the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince within a short while.
When he saw the servants standing outside the bedroom, King Qinghe's legs were inexplicably weak. He didn't know whether he should go in for a while, but finally he gritted his teeth and walked towards the bedroom. past.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the bedroom, as soon as he entered, King Qinghe was almost suffocated by the smell of medicine, the princess sat on the side of the bed, tears flowed down like beads with a broken thread Lose.
"Your Highness, my concubine loves you..."
The prince's weak voice came over: "Ake, don't cry, I'm fine. Didn't the imperial doctor say that? I'll get better soon."
However, after the Crown Princess heard what His Royal Highness said, the tears flowed even more fiercely. At this time, she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't speak at all.
Listening to the movement inside, King Qinghe's expression became dazed.
Doesn't His Royal Highness know that his leg has been completely broken and there is no hope of getting better
