"F-Goro?"
The fourth prince was truly frightened.
He was close in age to the Fifth Prince, the two brothers being only a few months apart.
The fourth prince was not very smart and was willful and absurd from a young age.
The fifth prince, however, was well-behaved and obedient. Although he was the younger brother, he always treated the fourth prince like an older brother, showing him tolerance and care.
Later, everyone grew up and began to have their own aspirations.
The fourth prince was foolish, but he was self-aware. In addition, thanks to the admonition of Consort Cui, he did not take advantage of his maternal family being the Cui family to arbitrarily interfere in the struggle for the throne.
On the contrary, the fifth prince, whose mother came from a humble background, had great ambitions.
He used his close relationship with the fourth prince to get in touch with the Cui family.
The fifth prince was gentle in nature and held the aristocratic families in high esteem.
He was different from the powerful former emperor.
The late emperor rejected aristocratic families from the bottom of his heart. For more than 20 years after ascending the throne, he was always thinking about weakening aristocratic families and concentrating imperial power.
The fifth prince, on the other hand, came from a humble background and relied on a powerful family.
Several families, including the Cui family, wanted to gamble on the Fifth Prince and try to push him to the throne.
Unfortunately, apart from Helian Jue, there were no other winners in the Tangquan Palace Coup.
The Fifth Prince fell straight from heaven to hell, so miserable that even his own aunt despised him.
In the past, the Fifth Prince always regarded the Fourth Prince as his little follower, a gun in his hands.
The fifth prince appeared gentle and was very kind to the fourth prince.
In reality, he looked down on the Fourth Prince.
However, this very fool, whom he had never taken seriously, now stood before him in glory and triumph.
The fifth prince, whose mind was already twisted due to his disability and failures, is now becoming more and more like a pervert!
"..." The Fifth Prince grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
The gloomy surroundings, coupled with the eyepatch over his right eye, made him look particularly terrifying.
"I heard you had a son? How lucky you are, to have a wife and a child. Unlike me, my own cousin would rather become a nun than break off our engagement!"
When the Fifth Prince mentioned the annulment of the engagement, his sinister aura intensified.
Even just standing close to him, the Fourth Prince gave off a chilling and sinister feeling.
He felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end and goosebumps rose on his skin.
"Hehe! Yes!"
The fourth prince suppressed his fear and chuckled awkwardly, "It just so happens that today is the eldest son's one-month birthday. Fifth son, let's have a drink together."
"Hey! Shiro, don't you mind that I'm an uninvited and unwelcome guest?"
The Fifth Prince continued his sarcastic remarks.
The fourth prince continued with a forced smile, "We're all brothers! Why say such unrelated things?"
The fourth prince longed to pat the fifth prince on the shoulder or tug at his sleeve, using such small gestures to express the closeness between brothers.
But he couldn't do it!
The fifth brother's eyes are terrifying.
Waaah, he... he's scared.
"Hey? Fourth brother, why is your leg shaking? Are you afraid of me?"
The Fifth Prince grinned, looking like a bloodthirsty beast.
"Don't be afraid! We're best brothers who grew up together."
The Fifth Prince seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and when he finally saw the Fourth Prince, his former little follower, he vented his frustration wildly.
"By the way, you haven't seen my eye yet, have you?"
"I'm telling you, this place is empty, there's nothing here—"
As he spoke, the Fifth Prince, like a pervert, reached out and poked the eye patch he was wearing over his right eye.
Fifth Prince: ...
His teeth were fighting.
The eyes were empty, like holes!
Good heavens, just imagining it makes the Fifth Prince tremble with fear.
His stomach churned, and he felt like vomiting.
"Your Highness, I heard we have distinguished guests! Why don't you welcome them in?"
Just as the Fifth Prince was about to succumb to the torment, either screaming in terror or vomiting violently, a voice that was all too familiar came from behind him.
His panicked heart instantly calmed down.
"Ah Yuan!"
Oh, that's great!
Ah Yuan is here!
Ah Yuan is the most powerful; she has a spiked club.
Even if Lao Wu really turned into a demon, A Yuan could still smash him flat with a spiked club in each hand!
"It's...it's Goro!"
With a trembling voice, the Fourth Prince hurriedly went to greet Princess Xu and stayed close to her side.
It looked just like a frightened chick that had finally found its mother hen to protect it.
"So it's His Highness the King of Chu!"
Princess Xu was dressed in new clothes, and although she was still weak from childbirth, her eyes were incredibly sharp.
She seemed not to see the blindfold on the Fifth Prince's face, nor to perceive his sinister and twisted nature.
She treated him like an ordinary guest, distant yet polite, polite yet awkward.
Princess Xu even exchanged normal pleasantries with the Fifth Prince, saying, "This concubine greets Your Highness Prince Chu! It's just my son's full moon celebration, and I am truly honored that Your Highness has come in person."
"It's getting late, let's take our seats quickly."
A dark glint flashed in the Fifth Prince's intact left eye: Xu Shi, she's actually not afraid of me!
Realizing this, the Fifth Prince felt somewhat frustrated.
His physical disability twisted his heart.
He was clearly very concerned about his disability, yet he also wanted to see people terrified by his disability, their faces pale and their legs trembling in a pathetic state.
Princess Xu, however, did not care at all.
There was neither disgust nor fear towards him!
This made the Fifth Prince somewhat uncomfortable.
This Xu woman actually thinks she's a normal person!
