"I'd rather watch you, Third Brother, kill Prince Duan, and then see how you plan to deal with me, or rather, what methods Father will use to turn us against each other.
Unfortunately, my father couldn't hold back and was eager to kill two birds with one stone."
King Jing curled his lips, the mockery in his eyes was obvious.
King Kang tried his best to calm himself down and asked, "So what do you want to do next?
In other words, what is your purpose in telling us this?
It is true as you said, you were the last one to die in your previous life, and if things in this life continue to develop like this.
The only two princes left might be you and me.
By then, one of us will die sooner or later under our father's scheme.
You want to live, and so do I."
"Well, we all want to live, so if we just get rid of the person who wants to kill us, wouldn't everyone be happy?
That is why I am confessing everything to you.”
King Jing smiled meaningfully.
When King Kang heard this, his eyelids twitched.
He knew what King Jing meant, but he still wanted to ask.
"you mean......"
King Jing suppressed the smile on his face, stared closely into King Kang's eyes, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Third brother, I know you still have feelings of admiration for our father.
But I hope you can wake up!
In your previous life, your wife, children, and the entire Kangwang Mansion were ordered to be executed by your beloved father!
Everyone is dead!
The culprit is your beloved father!
His mind has not changed in this life, and he is still hostile to anyone who can threaten his throne!
If we want to stay alive, we have to take the initiative and kill him!
If you are too soft-hearted to do it, then you can just wait for your beloved father to kill all the people you care about, just like he did in your previous life!"
King Jing said this with gritted teeth, his eyes full of disappointment.
Prince Kang had a complicated expression, "I'm much more sober now. I know that sooner or later, in order to survive, I will have to confront my father.
But fifth brother, have you ever thought that before we face our father, we will also face him!"
"I know! I thought about that too!
Third brother, in my previous life, I fought for power and did many wrong things that went against my conscience, and I also did many things that I regretted.
Before I died in my previous life, I thought that if I could live again, I would not want to live like that again.
I don't have to have this power, and I don't have to sit on the throne!
After these thoughts, I was truly reborn.
I think God must have heard my confession and given me a chance to be reborn.
If I don't cherish this opportunity, I might die completely one day!
Since I was reborn, I have been trying my best to do good things, to make up for my past life and to make myself feel at peace.
Third brother, we won’t fight each other. As long as you get rid of the people who plotted against us before we fight, everything will be fine.
I will help you take that position. Until then, I only hope that Third Brother can protect everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion. That will be enough!"
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu were both surprised and incredulous when they heard this.
King Jing's meaning was very clear.
Not only will he not fight for the throne, he will even help King Kang get the throne.
King Kang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother and sister-in-law, everything I said is true and I mean it sincerely.
Now only Prince Duan is left. Before Prince Duan is dealt with, brother and sister-in-law should think about it carefully.
If you have made the decision, you should make some preparations.
After Prince Duan, the moment that can truly change our destiny in our past lives has finally arrived."
King Jing sighed and lamented.
"What about Prince An?"
Ye Peizhu suddenly asked tentatively.
She knew from Jiuer's inner voice that Prince An treated the prince sincerely, but did Prince Jing know this?
"Prince An..."
Prince Jing muttered with a complicated expression, "In my previous life, Prince An died before me. I was misled by the news released by my father and thought that Prince An was against me, so I tried to plot against him.
I learned that Prince An often went to brothels, so I planned to have the prostitutes in the brothels infect Prince An with syphilis.
Compared to being killed quickly and efficiently, the humiliation and torture brought by venereal disease are the most painful.
During the years that Prince An contracted syphilis, his health grew increasingly weaker, and I felt that he was no match for me.
When he dies, I will be the only heir in the royal family who can become the next emperor.
But then something happened that made me think it was Prince An who did it, so I was furious and sent people to kill Prince An..."
King Jing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he was filled with regret.
"My brother and sister-in-law should be able to guess that this is another scheme by father to sow discord between me and Prince An.
And I fulfilled my father's wish and killed Prince An.
Brother and sister-in-law, Prince An never had any idea about the throne from beginning to end.
He even saw through it and knew long ago that you, my third brother, were a target set up by the emperor.
His relationship with you in his previous life was not very good, so he could only help you silently in secret.
It's just that his behavior angered my father. After he ordered the execution of the entire family of Prince Kang, he began to plot against Prince An.
In this life, Prince An must be the same as in his previous life, with no thoughts about that position.
If my brother and sister-in-law are willing, we can actually let Prince An know some secrets and let him participate in our cooperation.
I think if he knew all this, he would definitely be willing to help you, Third Brother, reach the summit!"
King Jing's words made King Kang feel that he was in a difficult situation.
King Jing and King An had no idea about the throne, so why not him?
But fate pushed him here step by step.
What if he chose not to get involved in the vortex of power struggle like King Jing and King An?
