"Your Highness, I am not worthy of you." Xu Tianze interrupted Long Musi and lowered his eyes.
People like him are destined to disappoint those who are sincere to him. There is also an inexplicable relationship between him and Long Musi.
"Why am I not worthy? Second brother is worthy, but I am not? Xichen and Jiang Ti are worthy, but I am not?" Long Musi felt a little suffocated in his chest. Seeing that Xu Tianze didn't dare to look into his eyes, he laughed out of anger.
In the past, when he had everything he wanted, I never said I was unworthy. But now that I have landed in his territory and am enjoying a prosperous life, I know what it means to be unworthy.
Could it be that Long Muse is some kind of despicable person?
"Your Highness, which one do you choose, me or power? Didn't you make the decision long ago?" Xu Tianze's tone turned cold, as if the "Your Highness" that had traveled through time and space just now did not exist.
Xu Tianze's temperament has become much softer now, so at the beginning he only told Long Musi that he was not worthy, because his choices and Long Musi's choices were opposite.
They also understand each other very well, so he knows the meaning of what he wants, and he also knows that being unworthy is just a reason for rejection.
But Long Musi was probably busy with his work recently, and his mind was a little confused. He even forgot what was most important in his heart. It was impossible for Xu Tianze to remind him.
"What do you mean? You." Long Musi asked subconsciously at first, but suddenly thought of something and looked at Xu Tianze in disbelief.
"She treated me with some sincerity in the past, so she was willing to test things for me." Xu Tianze seemed to have said nothing, but also seemed to have said everything.
Long Musi was rarely silent. He suddenly didn't know how to answer Xu Tianze. He didn't expect that Long Qingyi's casual question was actually planned in advance.
"Third Prince, I see that although you take good care of Ze'er, there are still some ambitions in your eyes." Long Qingyi sat upright on the chair, staring at her third nephew with a smile.
"Aunt, you're joking. How can a man not have ambition in his heart?" Long Musi answered with a smile, not avoiding his aunt's question at all.
When I first returned to Shangjing City, I thought that as long as the water in Shangjing City was muddy enough, I would have the opportunity to make a profit. Later, I learned that my aunt, the eldest princess, treated Xu Tianze differently.
Long Musi naturally wanted to use Xu Tianze to gain help from his extremely powerful aunt, so Long Musi never concealed anything in front of his aunt.
Now that his aunt had discovered it, it wasn't surprising at all. Perhaps this was exactly what Long Musi had wanted.
"I can't bear to see Ze'er, a fool, doing stupid things. If you want power, you should understand that there has never been a way to have the best of both worlds since ancient times." The eldest princess was not surprised by Long Muse's admission, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
At the beginning, she secretly warned Ze'er, but Ze'er only had hatred in his heart and didn't even care what Long Musi's purpose was towards him.
In the end, he was so annoyed by her that he finally agreed to let her give it a try. Sure enough, this try tore off all the disguises.
"Aunt, you're joking. Aze has your love and care. Even if he's a little confused occasionally, it's no big deal." Long Musi spoke to the eldest princess calmly.
"So do you want people or power?" The eldest princess was not fooled, but went straight to the point.
"Aunt wants to tell your nephew what?" Long Musi was frightened by his aunt's intuition, and his mind was in turmoil for a moment.
He didn't believe that this was just a casual question. Long Musi even had a vague premonition in his heart that this answer was related to his future.
That's why Long Musi didn't answer his aunt's question immediately. Instead, he asked questions to get the answer, giving himself enough time to think.
"Of course this is what you really think. When I was alive in the palace, His Highness had not yet been born, so it is better for you to be frank. This way, I will have some ideas in mind." The eldest princess glanced at her nephew.
But with just one glance, the eldest princess knew what her nephew was thinking.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? Your nephew naturally respects you, but I choose power." Long Musi smiled and answered the eldest princess' question solemnly.
After hearing this, the eldest princess still felt a little sorry for Xu Tianze even though she knew this was the answer. However, she did not say anything, nor did she show her dissatisfaction with Long Musi's answer.
She just smiled and asked Long Musi if he was sure about choosing such an answer, but Long Musi said that since the choice had been made, there was nothing to regret.
Long Musi didn't understand the princess's meaningful look at that time, but now he understood. It turned out that the conversation between them had been heard clearly by the parties involved.
"There is no such thing as medicine for regret in this world. Since Your Highness has made his choice, don't ask for anything more." Xu Tianze still looked lazy, but his words were piercingly cold.
He knew, he always knew which position Long Musi liked the most and wanted the most. Maybe there were various reasons for this, but no matter what the reason was, the goal was that position.
"Aze, you are as cunning as ever." Long Musi laughed angrily. He didn't expect that his inner thoughts had never been hidden from him.
That's true. After all, whether they know each other and stay together, or have constant misunderstandings, they have been together for so many years. If he can't see such a small thing, it would seem like he is pretending to be deaf and dumb.
However, this is not what Long Musi wants.
"You've said so much, but in the final analysis, it's because I was by my royal brother's side when he died. You blame me for his death, right?" Long Musi's face calmed down in an instant, and his deep eyes were full of inquiry.
It was as if he wanted to see through these eyes what Xu Tianze was thinking at the moment.
"I said I don't blame you, do you think it's credible?" Xu Tianze didn't avoid it and had a sneer on his face.
If Long Muse had not gone to see Ajiang, he would have lived even one more day, but Long Muse went there at that time. Even if Xu Tianze knew about this, he could not blame Long Muse at all.
But he still blamed it because he was not a saint, he was just an ordinary person and could not handle everything rationally.
"Nonsense! Don't you understand that my brother's death is inevitable?" Long Musi said with disdain. He suddenly felt that the man in front of him was a little hypocritical. "Weren't you the one who actually killed my brother?"
"If my brother wasn't on his deathbed, why would he choose to exchange his life for another's? And why would he end up living in such a miserable state without seeing the light of day?"
"You blame me, but you are just looking for an outlet to vent your anger. I despise you because you dare not blame yourself at all."
