At this point, Zhong Minge turned his head to look at the majestic and magnificent imperial city in the distance, and after a while turned his head to look at Zhong Mingzheng, while saying: "Third brother. Excuse me for being frank, the Fourth Prince is not as innocent as you think, otherwise, he is also a prince born to the Imperial Noble Consort. He is also implicated by the sudden death of the Imperial Noble Consort. Why does His Majesty always find fault with you, but always treats the Fourth Prince with a kind fatherly heart? And why has the Fourth Prince let the two of us, and even everyone else, off guard for so many years? Third brother, this is the Fourth Prince's ability. It is an ability that none of us have and cannot learn, don't you think?"
Zhong Mingzheng's expression did not change, but his heart was in turmoil. He clenched his hands into fists. He looked at Zhong Minge coldly: "So, Second Brother, are you determined to sow discord between me and the Fourth Brother?"
"If you hadn't specially invited me to come here today, how would I have had the opportunity to sow discord?" Zhong Minge laughed dumbly. He looked at Zhong Mingzheng leisurely. Then he said, "Anyway, the position of the crown prince will be either you or the fourth prince. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it will definitely be one of you brothers. What difference does it make to me? I am just a pitiful prince who lives in the fiefdom because of my father's pity. How dare I sow discord? Third brother, I can't wait to curry favor with you."
"So, you are determined to reveal the secret to me?" Zhong Mingzheng curled his lips in a sarcastic tone, and said slowly, "Then these few words are definitely not enough."
"I only know these few words, and I am only giving you a reminder today," Zhong Ming'e said in a deep voice, looking straight at Zhong Mingzheng, "After all, I feel that you have a better chance of winning. The Fourth Prince is still young, and even with the secret support of the Emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to compete with you. That is why I am willing to remind you. I only hope that when you ascend the throne and become the Emperor in the future, you will still remember this little bit of my kindness and let me go."
"Do you think our father is secretly supporting the fourth brother?" Zhong Mingzheng asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't it?" Zhong Ming'e was startled, then frowned and looked at Zhong Mingzheng, "His Majesty saw that the world summoned the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Study to accompany him. It is said that he likes the Fourth Prince to play chess and talk with him, but what do father and the Fourth Prince usually talk about? I'm afraid it's not just about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? And even if it is music, chess, calligraphy and painting, if it comes from father's mouth, it's not just as simple as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, third brother, don't you think so? Moreover, over the years, our brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for that piece of gold. Father is not unaware of it, but he never intervened. He pretended to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, letting us fight each other, and in the end you also... You see, I was defeated, the Cui family and the Zou family were destroyed, but the Zhao family behind you is still barely holding on, but the emperor's attitude towards you is still unclear, third brother, don't you find it strange?" Zhong Ming'e frowned and said, "Father had the opportunity to eradicate the Zhao family, but he didn't. Instead, he made a move and left the Zhao family. Why? Everyone thinks that father had to leave the Zhao family in order to allow you to smoothly enter the East Palace, but third brother, the Zhao family is not only your mother's family, but also the mother's family of the fourth prince. Do you think father has other intentions?"
Zhong Mingzheng didn't say anything, but his expression was extremely ugly. Zhong Minge pretended not to see it. He poured two glasses of wine, picked up a glass and handed it to Zhong Mingzheng, saying with a smile: "After today's separation, I'm afraid we brothers will never see each other again. Third brother, don't just remember your bad deeds, remember your good deeds."
