"Too hasty?" Xiao Changying thought about it carefully and felt that he was a little hasty. The prince seemed to be eager to create an opportunity to eliminate all the threatening people. "Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already twenty-three years old this year..."
There were rumors that the prince would not live past 24 years old. They had always thought that the prince had spread the rumor in order to hide his power and protect himself. But how smart was their majesty? If the rumor was groundless, would his majesty not take any action
So... the prince really won't live past twenty-four years, and this is the only way to reasonably connect the prince's current behavior.
My brother's expression was extremely complicated, half happy and half worried.
Xiao Changqing could understand his thoughts at the moment. He was happy that the prince was okay, and he might still have a chance to get what he wanted, even if the chance was very small. He was worried that Shen Xihe might not be ruthless to the prince. After all, the prince had paved the way for her to this point, and even a stone would warm up eventually. In this case, the death of the prince would cause her pain.
"The Crown Princess must have feelings for the Crown Prince." Xiao Changqing had to pour cold water on his brother and let him face the reality soberly.
Glancing at Xiao Changying's slightly stiff body, Xiao Changqing said slowly: "The prince has always been far-sighted. If he had known that he would not live long, our royal family would not be as peaceful as it is now. This battle came so hastily, which can only mean that the prince has only recently accepted his fate and accepted the fact that he will not live long.
At this moment, the prince has abandoned Xiao and is focused on paving the way for the crown princess. They have been married for nearly three years. If the crown princess is not moved at all, the prince would not be able to do this. "
No one understands better than him how excruciating the pain of loving someone deeply and longing for even the slightest bit of her love, even a glance or a fleeting smile, is.
Xiao Changying clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Xiao Changqing seemed not to notice his resistance and continued, "The Crown Princess must have known that the Crown Prince would not live long. She resolutely married into the East Palace for the sake of being a legitimate child and to avoid the pain of a husband and wife falling out in the future. The Crown Princess is a person who values family, country and the world over romance.
Not to mention that she already has feelings for the prince, even if she is heartless, she will not marry again after the prince dies."
Therefore, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible.
Xiao Changqing didn't want his brother to have any inexplicable fantasies, just like him in the past. Because his fantasies were too beautiful, he tried his best to force them, but it was like a kite that was let fly. The harder he tried, the harder it was to hold on to it. In the end, his joy was dashed, and he couldn't accept it and regretted it for the rest of his life.
"She wants to seize that position. If the prince dies, how can she fight for it?" Xiao Changying was unwilling to give up.
Xiao Changqing chuckled: "The prince is still alive, they will have children sooner or later, or maybe... there is already a happy event in the East Palace."
Xiao Changying's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips tightly, resisting emotionally: "Even if she is pregnant, how can we be sure that it is the emperor's grandson!"
"It must be the emperor's grandson." Xiao Changqing spoke every word with great certainty.
For others, it was a 50-50 chance, but for Shen Xihe, as long as she was pregnant, it was the emperor's grandson no matter what. Even if it was fake, the prince would still switch the baby.
"The prince..." Xiao Changying understood the implication of Xiao Changqing's words, and his heart was shocked. He was unable to digest and accept this fact.
