Xu Tianze accepted the order and brought the parties back directly, and they all kowtowed in gratitude loudly.
"Your son obeys your order." ×3
"The last imperial edict will be delivered by you personally, General Meng." When there was only one imperial edict left in his hand, Eunuch Quan looked at Meng Qi and handed him the edict.
Meng Qi first looked at the imperial edict handed over by Eunuch Quan, and then kept looking at the closed door behind Eunuch Quan, with hesitation on his face, not knowing what to do.
"General Meng, don't worry. Before you come back, the Dragon Feather Guard will take over all aspects of the palace." Eunuch Quan saw Monk's worry and spoke directly to reassure Monk.
When Meng Qi heard about the Dragon Feather Guard, his worries completely disappeared. He took the imperial edict with both hands and said, "I will definitely not let your majesty down."
After saying that, Monkie stood up and left with the imperial guards. But before leaving, he and Xu Tianze looked at each other. After exchanging glances for a moment, they both looked away.
"Your Highness, the Emperor wishes to see you." Eunuch Quan bowed sideways and made a gesture of invitation to the Crown Prince.
The prince stood up expressionlessly, opened the door and went in.
In an instant, the outside became quiet again. Xu Tianze kept rubbing the imperial edict in his hand with his fingers, and a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that Xu Tianze was obviously distracted, the wise king directly handed the imperial edict in his hand to Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze was interrupted by this. When he looked up, he saw the virtuous king signaling Eunuch Quan beside him with an indifferent look.
Xu Tianze shook his head, signaling the virtuous king not to ask any more questions, then lifted the virtuous king's hand and wrote a word on his palm.
The virtuous king didn't care much at first, but in an instant his body stiffened and he suddenly looked up at Xu Tianze.
He hoped that Xu Tianze was just joking with him, but when he met Xu Tianze's gaze, he knew that Xu Tianze was not lying.
Xu Tianze originally wanted to support the virtuous king and give him some strength, but he didn't know where an imperial edict came from.
"Brother Tianze, do you like the imperial edict? I'll give this one to you as well." The Sixth Prince saw Xu Tianze turning his head to look at him, his puppy eyes filled with excitement.
"Idiot." Long Musi was already uneasy, and seeing that the Sixth Prince had no sense of crisis at all, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
Everyone knows how unusual it is to issue three imperial edicts in succession, but the Sixth Prince has no political awareness at all.
The most infuriating thing was that the Sixth Prince kept trying to please Xu Tianze in front of him, which made him feel jealous and sour.
The corners of Xu Tianze's mouth twitched. He first looked at the three imperial edicts in his book, and then looked at the Sixth Prince who had been staring at him with a sincere smile on his face.
Finally, looking at the officials around who kept staring at the three of them, Xu Tianze couldn't help but free up one hand to hold his forehead helplessly.
"Sixth Prince, this imperial edict is for you. It would be against etiquette for me to hold it. You'd better take it back." Xu Tianze stuffed the top imperial edict directly back into the hands of the Sixth Prince.
Then he was afraid that the Sixth Prince would stuff the imperial edict back again, so he pulled the virtuous king back half a step. This way, with some distance, he could react in time if the Sixth Prince made any move.
"But Second Brother gave the imperial edict to Brother Tianze when he got it. Why can't I give it to him when I get it?" The Sixth Prince had a look of disappointment and felt a little aggrieved. "Brother Tianze, do you not like me anymore?"
"Your Highness, this is different, especially now..."
"How is it different?" The Sixth Prince interrupted Xu Tianze, his face full of dissatisfaction. "Second brother is from the Long family, and so am I. Second brother has an imperial edict, and so do I. What's the difference?"
Xu Tianze was choked by the Sixth Prince's words and didn't know what to say for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the wise king with deep eyes on the side, then turned around to explain.
"Of course it's different. You've lived in the border for a long time and not in the imperial city, so naturally you don't know that Aze has a crush on Long Yang and is now with the second royal brother." Long Musi had long been unhappy with his sixth royal brother's constant attentiveness, and naturally he would not miss the opportunity to strike him down.
"Why else do you think Second Brother lost his right to succeed the throne and was expelled from the throne?"
"What?" The Sixth Prince's mind went blank after hearing Long Musi's words. He turned to look at Xu Tianze, then turned to look at the Wise King.
He was originally curious about why his second brother suddenly became so close to Brother Tianze. He thought it was just normal for them to have similar interests, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason.
If that's the case, then what was the point of his longing for so many years? Was it just for his own amusement?
"Brother Tianze, what the Third Prince said is just a joke, right?" The Sixth Prince laughed out loud, looking as if he didn't believe the lie and didn't want to lie to him.
The Sixth Prince would rather hear the news that Xu Tianze had married a girl from a noble family than hear that the person who ended up with Xu Tianze was his second brother.
Because only in this way could he secretly tell himself that all those countless days and nights of longing at the border counted, and his feelings had never destroyed him, he just didn't dare to face his own heart.
Every time he missed her to the extreme, his decision to suppress the letter to Xu Tianze was the right one.
The more than 900 letters he had always treasured were his treasures and secrets that he could not reveal.
"Prince Jing is right, I like Longyang." Xu Tianze felt a little reluctant when he saw the hope in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, but he still told the truth cruelly.
Young people's emotions are too passionate and straightforward. Others think that the Sixth Prince is just a child, but Xu Tianze is also a joy in his youth.
Naturally, he could tell what kind of love it was in the Sixth Prince's eyes, so he expressed his position cruelly.
Because he knew that compared to the loss of love, anger and resentment were a better medicine to help one get over it quickly. After all, wasn't that how he got over it in the first place?
When the Sixth Prince saw Xu Tianze admit it, the imperial edict in his hand fell directly to the ground. He stared at Xu Tianze blankly, with disbelief, loss, and despair flashing in his eyes. Complex emotions kept intertwining, as if directly overwhelming his consciousness.
Seeing this, Xu Tianze sighed in his heart. They were brothers connected by blood. Even if they couldn't make it public, it was impossible after all.
"Sir Xu, His Majesty invites you." Seeing that everyone who was supposed to go in had taken their turn, Eunuch Quan hurriedly called Xu Tianze in.
God knows how frightened he was when he saw the Sixth Prince's appearance while he was guarding outside. If anything unexpected happened, he would have no face to face Emperor Gan inside.
Even when he went down there, he probably wouldn't be able to serve Emperor Gan peacefully, and he would definitely always be thinking about the Sixth Prince.
