"I remember, my father's teachings, how dare I not remember them?" Zhong Mingzheng curled his lips coldly, sneering, "It is because I remember my father's teachings that I have been working hard and making progress over the years. My father has seen all of this, so today I have become the most respected prince in my father's eyes, and a first-rank prince who is taller than you. But my second brother was probably praised too much by my father since he was young, so he became lazy. Otherwise, how could he end up in this pitiful situation today, being driven out of the capital by my father? Tsk tsk tsk, it is said that loving fathers often spoil their children, it is really true."
"Yes, my current situation is indeed pitiful, but no matter what, my life is safe. It shows that father still loves me and at least left me a way out," Zhong Minge said slowly, looking at Zhong Mingzheng sympathetically, "but I think father may not be able to love you as well as you, the third brother."
"What do you mean by that?" Zhong Mingzheng's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "It has come to this day, do I still need your pity?"
"I do feel sorry for you. You have been used as a chess piece by my father for so many years, but I didn't expect that you still don't know it now," Zhong Ming'e shook his head and sighed. He took a sip from the wine glass and looked at Zhong Mingzheng's gloomy face. He continued, "We are both chess pieces. Now I am far away and finally jumped out of this chessboard. But we are brothers after all. Seeing you being used so pitifully and not knowing it, I feel heartbroken, don't I?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhong Mingzheng's face darkened even more. "If you want to say something, just say it directly. Don't just act mysterious and disgusting."
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point," Zhong Ming'e put down the blanket and sat up straight, looking at Zhong Mingzheng, "Third brother, do you think that my father let me leave the capital just to make you the crown prince?"
"Isn't it?" Zhong Mingzheng raised his chin proudly, glancing at Zhong Minge and saying, "Father may have preferred you to be the crown prince, but you are an unlucky person. No matter how much he loves you, he will never let you, an unlucky person, compete for the throne, so he let you go from the capital. Now, I am the only prince left in the court. If father doesn't make me the crown prince, who else can he make? Is he going to make that cripple?"
"No, no, no, Prince An is not destined to ascend the throne. Whether it's his disability or his experience, it determines that he will only be a first-rank prince until his death," Zhong Minge shook his head, paused, and then said to Zhong Mingzheng seriously, word by word, "But second brother, is there no other prince besides Prince An?"
"You mean... impossible!" Zhong Mingzheng was stunned, then shook his head vigorously, "How old is the fourth child? What can he understand? He just jumps up and down like a monkey all day long. He is just a little brat who knows nothing. How could the emperor want to make him the crown prince?"
"How old is he? He's almost fifteen," Zhong Ming'e curled his lips slightly and said lightly, "Old Third, when you were fifteen, were you still a child who knew nothing? I remember that you had killed several people when you were fifteen. Haha, people from the Royal Family should have the mind of a thirty-year-old by the age of three, so that they can gain a foothold in this imperial city."
