The guard outside the palace gate shouted softly," Miss Hong Xiu.”
Hong Xiu asked," What is it?"
"The Eighth Prince is here to talk to Your Highness.”
"What do you think?"
The Eighth Prince came looking for him.
Other than the Eldest Prince, her Highness was not close to the other princes.
This time, it was most likely about the Imperial Family.
Although Hong Xiu did not know much about this, she had been in the palace for so long that she knew something. In any case, in Hong Xiu's eyes, this was not a good thing.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Hong Xiu's long eyelashes fluttered.
"I'll report to His Highness first. Don't neglect the Eighth Prince.”
"Yes."
Hong Xiu entered and whispered into Su Yuan's ear,"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is here."”
"What is it?"
"He didn't say. He only said that he wanted to catch up.”
Su Yuan said," Let him in."
"Yes."
The Eighth Prince, Su Yu, was invited in.
Su Yu was the eighth prince, Su Yuan's half-brother. He was eleven this year, four years older than Su Yuan.
It was worth mentioning that Su Yuan's previous brothers were all born before Su Qingtian ascended the throne. Only Su Yuan was born after Su Qingtian ascended the throne. Therefore, from Su Yuan onwards, the age gap between him and the other princes was a little bigger.
Su Yu entered Lin Yuan Palace and saw Su Yuan sitting upright in the pavilion from afar.
Su Yu was eleven years old this year, and her puberty was also earlier than ordinary people. She looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was still childish, but she was much more mature than ordinary people of the same age.
Su Yu walked forward.
Hong Xiu politely said," Greetings, Eighth Prince."”
Su Yu nodded and sat beside Su Yuan.”
"Royal brother, what's the matter?"
"This is something." Su Yu glanced at Hong Xiu.
Su Yuan said," Hong Xiu is one of us. It's fine to say it.”
Hong Xiu smiled sweetly. She enjoyed her master's trust. She was one of them.
"That's good."
"I'll get straight to the point."
Eighth Prince Su Yu said," Ninth Brother, do you have any thoughts about the throne?”
“......”
Hong Xiu pursed her lips and did not say a word. She felt that she should leave.
Su Yuan raised his head and swept his gaze over Su Yu.”
"Brother, I'll be clear."
"Ninth brother, I want to join your camp!”
Su Yuan was silent." The reason?"
"You know the reason." Su Yu said," In the current Imperial Family, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and Fifth Brother, the three little dragons are extremely powerful. The competition is intense, and they have wiped out the glory of the other princes.”
"If the other princes want to shine again, it will be very difficult to compete with the three of them.”Su Yu said," So the situation is clear now.”
"Other than Big Brother, Third Brother, and Fifth Brother, the other princes should either give up on the idea of establishing their own sects and compete with each other, and join one of their armies to increase their strength, or hang high and not get involved in this muddy water, and become a carefree king who stands aloof from the world.”
"Second Brother and the others didn't want to be the Freedom King. Freedom King had no real power and no status. Living was the same as being imprisoned, so they chose to join a camp.”
"And my position is very awkward because I'm still young and my abilities haven't been honed enough. Even if I go to the other brothers 'camp, I won't be able to get much of an important position.”
"So I think you're the only one left.”
Su Yuan looked at the sky outside. The snow was falling endlessly.”
Su Yu smiled bitterly." No, power and status can give me the ability to protect myself. I just want to protect myself and live normally.”
"If I become the Freedom King, I might be able to protect myself, but it definitely won't be a normal way of living.”
Su Yu took a deep breath and said," Ninth Brother, everyone in the court can see that Father's attitude is very confusing. He intends to pull you into the whirlpool of seizing the throne.”
"Earlier, you said that it was the Ninth Prince who opened your horizons. Later, during the Winter Meet, he directly gave you military power in the Imperial City, which naturally gave you a very high starting point. In addition, Ninth Brother, you are very close to becoming the emperor of the Sacred Martial realm!”
Seeing that Su Yuan was still thinking, Su Yu persuaded him again.
"Ninth brother, the situation has already reached this point. Even if you don't want to participate in this whirlpool, they will find you.”
Su Yu analyzed," Although you and I are still young, now that Father is healthy, it will definitely not be a problem for us to expand our power until we reach adulthood.”
"After a few years, we will definitely become the fourth dragon in the fight for the throne, and we will fight for the land of Grand Xia!”
After Su Yu finished speaking, Su Yuan looked at Su Yu.”
“？”
"I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Imperial brother, please.”
“......”
Su Yu stood up and left." I hope Ninth Brother will consider this carefully. This concerns our future. I don't want to die for no reason.”
After sending off the Eighth Prince, Hong Xiu, who had been holding her breath and not daring to make a sound, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, what did the Eighth Prince just say?”
"He's right."
"Then what do you mean?"
Hong Xiu started to worry. She really did not want her master to fall into the torrent of schemes and plots at such a young age.
Hong Xiu's face, which was red from the cold, became even more anxious.
"What I mean is…"
Su Yuan said,"Go and cook a bowl of soup to warm yourself up."”
As he spoke, Su Yuan stood up and returned to his room.”
"Yes."
Hong Xiu followed Su Yuan back to the house. A cold wind blew, making her sneeze.
Hong Xiu did not dare to raise her head, afraid that her master would laugh at her.
Seriously, it was so cold today. She should have put on more clothes.
"Go make some soup. I want to drink it too.”
Hong Xiu felt as if she had been pardoned and quickly ran to cook soup.
There was a fire in the kitchen, so she could warm herself up while she was cooking the soup.
Frost and snow floated gently in the sky. It was the coldest season in the palace again.
