Chapter 399: Does the Emperor think Xu Tianze loves him?



"I have no way to answer what my royal brother said." After thinking carefully, Long Mujiang could only give the prince an ambiguous answer.

It was him. Sometimes he couldn't even see his own heart. He clearly just wanted to plot against Xu Tianze at the beginning, but in the face of Xu Tianze's sincerity, he slowly fell into it.

What's happening now is just a return to the original track. He has never thought deeply about whether he loves Xu Tianze or not.

"Then your Majesty, please change the question. Do you think Xu Tianze loves you?" Seeing this, the prince changed the way he asked the question.

"Of course it's love." Long Mujiang answered very decisively this time, and blurted out without even thinking.

Even when these words came out of his mouth, the prince could still see the light in Long Mujiang's eyes, a light he had never seen before.

But even if he had never seen it, the prince could tell that this was the light that only appeared when one was favored by others. Seeing this, the prince had nothing to understand.

Now Long Mujiang just hasn't completely seen through his own heart, otherwise he would regret it like Long Musi, but Long Musi still has a chance to make up for it.

But the second brother in front of him no longer had any chance to make amends.

"The victor makes the king, the loser the bandit. It's because my royal brother is not as skilled as others, so I don't blame you for anything. I believe my third royal brother won't have any complaints either." The prince restrained his inner emotions and said solemnly to Long Mujiang.

"But my Royal Brother still has a few words to tell my Second Imperial Brother. Whether or not my Second Imperial Brother listens to them is up to my own judgment."

Long Mujiang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the topic to change so quickly. He was talking about Xu Tianze in the previous second, but the next second he changed to something else.

However, Long Mujiang didn't remain stunned for too long, and nodded directly to the prince: "Whatever my royal brother Xiaoyao says, just say it."

Anyway, it is still up to him to decide whether to listen or not. By that time, the prince will have gone directly to see his father, so there will be nothing to lecture him.

"My royal brother, I won't say anything more about the nonsense about protecting the country and caring for the people of the country." The prince nodded.

The main thing is for the monarch to govern the country in the end. The most taboo thing is other people's meddling. He has nothing to say and believes that Long Mujiang can do this job well on his own.

"Since Xu Tianze has already left, I still hope that my royal brother can let him go. After all, it is impossible for the two of you to go back to the way things were before. I believe my royal brother should understand this better than this prince."

"Don't worry about this matter, my royal brother." Long Mujiang frowned, feeling slightly dissatisfied with the prince.

Now that he kept mentioning Xu Tianze, he could see what was in the prince's heart. He must have some feelings about Xu Tianze, otherwise he would not have mentioned him again and again when he was about to die.

But he never thought of letting go. Aze has loved him for so many years, and he doesn't believe that Aze has no feelings for him now.

"When a person is about to die, some words may be true or false. It is up to you to figure it out." The prince smiled and shook his head, but his reaction to Long Mujiang was no exception.

People in this world all think that they can handle the best of both worlds, and never think that they cannot have both. They will only regret it when they really lose something.

After saying this, the prince did not give Long Mujiang any chance to react. He directly circulated his true energy to shatter the meridians throughout his body, even his heart was not spared.

"Bang."

A muffled sound came from the prince's body. By the time Long Mujiang reacted, the prince's head had already drooped, and his life force was gone in an instant.

Long Mujiang sat quietly opposite the prince, looking at him quietly. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the misty window paper into the dim room, stretching the shadows of the two people very long.

"Royal brother, why do you always avoid me?" The young Long Mujiang pulled the prince's sleeve aggrievedly.

He saw it clearly. Just now, his royal brother gave food to the third and fourth brothers in private, and there was no portion for him and Xiaoliu at all.

Xiaoliu ran away as soon as he got home from school without even looking at them, but he saw them clearly.

Thinking about how his elder brother was always indifferent every time he met him, Long Mujiang felt a little aggrieved. They were all younger brothers, so why could other brothers play with the elder brother but he couldn't?

"I'm not avoiding her. Second brother, why don't you go to see the Concubine Shu after school?" The prince looked at his second brother with a headache.

The Second Prince's mother's family is quite powerful and can even compete with the Queen Mother. Plus, their rankings are similar, so if anything unexpected happens to him, the position of Crown Prince will belong to the Second Prince.

Logically speaking, the second prince should not be raised to be so naive, but the fact is that this second prince is too naive. If it were not for Concubine Shu's protection in this harem, he would have died countless times already.

"You still say no, then why did my royal brother give food to my third and fourth brothers just now, and there was no portion for me at all?" Long Mujiang snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied with the prince's perfunctory attitude.

He saw it all, but his royal brother still tried to make excuses. He no longer liked his royal brother.

"The food is also available at the Empress Shufei's place. I guess Second Prince is used to it, so your elder brother didn't give it to him. If you want to eat it, I'll have someone deliver it to you later." The prince could only coax his younger brother according to his temper.

In fact, it’s not that he really wants to ignore the second prince. The main reason is that he gave it to the second prince, and the Concubine Shu might not dare to let the second prince eat it. If she turns the tables on him, he will be at a great loss.

"Liar." Long Mujiang let go of the prince's sleeve unhappily. He was not stupid, so how could he not hear that the prince was just trying to fool him.

"I know my brother is wary of me and my mother, but I've never thought of being the crown prince. Jiang'er wants to be with someone for the rest of his life. I don't know what you guys are so interested in for the throne, which has to get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs."

"Second brother, be careful with your words!" The prince glared at his silly brother, then quickly looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he hadn't brought it up first, he would still be punished for discussing the throne.

"That's how it is." Long Mujiang muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Second brother is still young. When he grows up a little, he will know that there are some things that you can't avoid by not fighting for them." The prince touched Long Mujiang's little head with a little sincerity.

Regardless of whether what his second brother said was true or false, just because he could say so in front of him and always showed kindness to him, he had to be sincere.

After all, the human heart is made of flesh and blood, which can never be as hard and cold as stone, and will eventually melt.
