Chapter 20 Hmm, a very, very short chapter

The tyrant had eight children besides Wanwan. In the text, the seventh and eighth princes were imprisoned in their fiefdoms and were not allowed to return to the capital because their mothers committed crimes, so the text did not describe them in detail.

The remaining six had been living in the palace, and in the end, their heads were neatly hung on the city walls.

Today, in addition to seeing the crown prince and the fifth princess at the banquet, Wanwan also saw her second brother in name.

After seeing the second prince, she suddenly remembered that the second prince did not end up hanging on the city walls like them.

He died earlier because he coveted the position of the crown prince, and was killed by the crown prince!

"Brother, have you arranged everything for the suppression of bandits on the third day of next month?" When the banquet was in full swing, the second prince Xiao Moqing, who was sitting at the table, suddenly spoke up.

The prince replied in a cold tone: "Thank you for your concern, second brother. Of course, everything has been arranged."

Listening to the two people's question and answer, the ministers who were chatting at the scene immediately pricked up their ears.

Are the two ancestors going to make trouble again?

Everyone in the palace knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had been incompatible since their mothers' wombs.

At the beginning, the mothers of the two were pregnant at almost the same time, and His Majesty announced that whichever lady gave birth to the crown prince first would be named the queen.

Coincidentally, the two ladies also gave birth on the same day, and even the time of birth of the children was the same.

In the end, because the nanny who delivered the second prince was a few moments too slow, he and his mother lost the position of crown prince and empress.

So in these years, the second prince was also very dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the two of them competed with each other openly and secretly.

I heard that last month, because His Majesty gave the task of suppressing bandits in Liaozhou to the crown prince, the second prince was dissatisfied and fought with the crown prince in the palace, overturning the roofs of several palaces.

Why did the second prince bring up this matter again today?

The second prince rubbed the wine glass in his hand with his fingertips and said with a smile: "I heard that the bandits in Liaozhou are very insidious and cunning. My royal brother must be careful. Don't fall behind in martial arts training these days. By the way, my royal brother has been busy with government affairs these days? I have been in the martial arts training ground for several days in a row, why haven't I seen you, my royal brother?"

Hearing this, the prince raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, "The palace is so big, and there are places for martial arts training everywhere."

"It seems that my royal brother has secretly practiced some new tricks recently? That's why he is so wary of me, my royal brother." The second prince smiled and curled his lips and said, "What new tricks are they? Why don't you practice with me again?"

The prince: "Some other day."

"It's better to do it today, my brother. Besides, my father and the ministers are tired of watching ordinary singing and dancing. Why don't we go up and have a little competition?"

The tyrant sitting on the top frowned slightly, "Mo Qing, since it's a family banquet, what's the point of fighting and killing?"

The tyrant was full of regret at this moment. When the two were young, neither of them would submit to the other. This was also very troublesome for him. Once, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he let the two fight.

He thought the matter would be solved perfectly, but he never thought that several years had passed, and now these two people have to fight to decide the winner of anything.

Seeing that his father had shouted to stop him, the second prince had to give up his idea of ​​fighting with the prince.

But the next second, he spoke again: "In recent days, I have seen the eunuch beside my brother going in and out of the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and it was medicine for leg injuries. What happened to your leg, my brother? It's not a big problem, right? Wasn't it fine a few days ago?"

[How could you not know what happened to his leg? Tsk, scheming little green tea]
