Chapter 446: Foolish People Have Good Luck

Fang Wujiu said slowly, "You have to ask the emperor about this. It was the emperor who specially summoned Prince Xiling back to Shengjing for the purpose of celebrating his birthday."

Xiao Xixi was not very satisfied with this answer.

She said angrily, "If I could go ask the emperor, would I come here to ask you?"

Fang Wujiu laughed in silence and tapped her forehead with his finger, looking like he couldn't do anything to her.

"You."

Xiao Xixi stuck out her tongue at him.

Fang Wujiu: "It's a rare trip for you to Canglan Garden. There are many precious flowers and plants here. Let's chat while we walk around."

He put his hands in his sleeves and walked slowly forward.

Xiao Xixi followed him eagerly, urging him, "Hurry up and tell me."

Fang Wujiu: "You are already an adult, why are you still so impatient?"

Xiao Xixi complained: "It's not that I'm impatient, it's that you're too slow. You're only in your twenties, but you're already living like a retired veteran."

Her senior brother has very unique living habits. He drinks a cup of health tea every day, adds wolfberry to his alcohol, goes to bed early and gets up early and never stays up late. Even when things are urgent, he can remain as steady as an old dog.

Later, her complaints were heard by other fellow disciples, and they secretly gave the eldest disciple a nickname, calling him Fang Lao Gou.

Fang Laogou had become accustomed to her uttering one or two incomprehensible words from time to time.

He skillfully ignored the words he didn't understand and smiled as he said, "Life isn't long, it's just a few decades. We have to live it slowly so that we can experience more of the fun that life brings."

Xiao Xixi refused to drink the chicken soup and urged him again to tell her the information quickly.

Fang Wujiu: "You should know that the late emperor was obsessed with seeking immortality and neglected state affairs, allowing factions in the court to fight each other, and the harem was in chaos because of the struggle for power.

The current saint was just an ordinary Sixth Prince at that time. He was not the smartest nor the most favored of all the princes, but he was the most patient of all the princes. It was with this patience that he made everyone think that he was a loser.

The princes were all busy fighting among themselves and no one paid any attention to the cowardly and incompetent Sixth Prince. The princes fell one after another in the infighting. When the late emperor was seriously ill and dying, there were only three intact princes left in the palace, and the Sixth Prince was one of them.

During the fight among the three princes, the Sixth Prince made many promises in order to gain more support.

For example, he made Qiu Wenbo the king, expanded the fief of King Xiling, and married the daughter of the Qin family as the queen...

Qiu Wenbo represents the military generals and provides support in terms of military strength; Prince Xiling represents the royal family and provides support in terms of connections; and the Qin family represents the aristocratic families and provides support in terms of reputation.

With the support of these people, the Sixth Prince became the final winner and successfully ascended the throne to become emperor.

After he ascended the throne, he indeed fulfilled his promise.

The daughter of the Qin family was enthroned as queen, but Queen Qin had no children so far and was only queen in title.

Qiu Wenbo was enthroned as the King of Chenliu, but now his family is broken up, and his fiefdom and military power are all used to benefit others.

With the previous two examples, can't you imagine what the emperor wants to do to King Xiling?"

Having said that, Fang Wujiu slightly turned his eyes to look at the junior sister who was following beside him.

Xiao Xixi slightly widened her almond eyes: "Does the emperor want to take back the fiefdom of King Xiling?"

Fang Wujiu smiled and said, "You are still too soft-hearted. What the emperor wants to take back is not only the fiefdom, but also the life of Prince Xiling."

Xiao Xixi was even more surprised.

Fang Wujiu still had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes: "When the emperor ordered the Prince of Xiling to come to the capital, the Prince of Xiling knew the emperor's intention, but even if he knew, he couldn't disobey the order."

If he disobeyed the order, it would be obvious that he had ulterior motives, and the emperor could use this as an excuse to send troops to suppress Prince Xiling.

Even if Prince Xiling had 50,000 soldiers and horses, he would not be a match for the imperial court's army of hundreds of thousands.

If Prince Xiling wanted to survive, he had no choice but to take the risk and go to the capital.

Xiao Xixi recalled that at the welcoming banquet, Prince Xiling performed sword dancing under the influence of alcohol, while the emperor sat at the top and watched with a smile.

At that moment, did Prince Xiling think of taking the opportunity to pierce the emperor's heart with a sword?

And is the emperor ready to turn the table and turn hostile at any time?

The welcoming banquet that seemed to be full of joy was actually a Hongmen Banquet with turbulent undercurrents.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help feeling a little scared.

If Prince Xiling had been a little more impulsive, there would have been a river of blood that night.

At the same time, she felt a chill in her heart.

They are obviously blood relatives, but there is no family affection between them. There is only intrigue and life-and-death struggle.

Fang Wujiu's eyes were deep, and he said meaningfully: "This is the royal family. They can sacrifice everything to achieve their goals. To them, emotions are just an addition brought by power.

When they are in power, they don't mind savoring the sweetness of emotion, but if emotion goes against power, they will abandon it without hesitation.

Anyway, as long as they can gain power, countless people will devote their feelings to them."

Xiao Xixi asked: "Since you know all this, why do you want to get involved?"

Fang Wujiu: "Of course I am here to complete my master's mission. Besides, I don't have any emotional attachment to King Xiling. What we have between him and me is just mutual benefit.

Even if he sells me out one day, I won't be too disappointed.

But you are different, you have invested your emotions into it.

Once you lose the prince's trust, you will be miserable."

Xiao Xixi stopped.

Fang Wujiu also stopped and looked at her deeply: "Quickly withdraw before he hurts you."

Xiao Xixi: "You said so much just to persuade me to give up?"

Fang Wujiu: "I'm doing this for your own good."

Xiao Xixi took a step forward, the sky reflected in her bright eyes.

"I will never give up on him, ever."

Fang Wujiu: "Is it worth it?"

Xiao Xixi: "I don't care whether it's worth it or not, I just hope he can live a good life."

She accompanied the prince south to pray for rain and accompanied him in his escape to Chenliu County.

She watched him grow and transform step by step, and watched him stumble towards his goal.

She knew the pressure he was under and how hard he tried not to disappoint others.

We share joys and sorrows, life and death.

The fate of the two people has long been closely tied together.

To this day, she can no longer just leave.

Fang Wujiu sighed helplessly: "You are too stupid."

When others give, they always hope to get something in return.

But his junior sister was so stupid that she didn't even want any reward.

Xiao Xixi smiled innocently: "Fools have good fortune."

Fang Wujiu: "It seems that we are destined to be rivals."

Xiao Xixi sighed: "Yes."

…

Let me digress. Don't look down on the prince. It's his first time in love, so it's inevitable that he's a little silly.

It's the last day. If you don't use your monthly pass, it will be wasted. Hurry up and take it out to buy candy for Xianyu~
