Chapter 22

After seeing off the emperor, Nient returned to his palace.

The folks use the emperor's residence "Holy Gold Palace" to refer to the entire royal family. In fact, not all members of the royal family live in the Holy Golden Palace, and there are some palace complexes near the Holy Golden Palace.The princes and princesses are generally raised in the Holy Gold Palace since they were young, and when they grow up, they will be given a palace complex of their own and move out to live.

The current crown prince, Xiu, has been given the crown prince's palace, the Chenxi Palace, since he was born, and he has never lived in the Shengjin Palace for a day.The third prince was also raised in the Crown Prince's Chenxi Palace since he was a child, and was raised by the Crown Prince himself. He was exiled before he became an adult, so he did not have his own palace yet.

Unlike them, the second prince has been raised in the side hall of the Holy Golden Palace. After the death of the first queen, he often went in and out of the main hall, eating and living with the emperor. He did not move out until he was 20 years old. Throughout the history of the empire, this It is rare, enough to show how much he is favored by the emperor.

Nient himself, however, is not satisfied with the status quo.

Returning to his palace, the first thing he did was smash an antique decorative vase angrily.

The male servants rushed forward to clean it, and the butler helped him take off his coat and said, "My lord, what's the matter? This vase is from the last era..."

"Be patient, bear it until when! Father still wants me to bear it!" Niente said angrily, with a gloomy face, "bear it again and again, from childhood to adulthood! At this age! Could it be that I like to study? Or is it because he wants me to stay in school and avoid the gossip outside! Now it’s good, I’ve got my highest honorary degree, it’s unavoidable, I have to get out of school , Has the Chenxi Palace collapsed? Not only the big one in the Chenxi Palace has not fallen, but even the young one has been made a prince! I don’t think I am getting closer to the crown prince’s position as my father said, but getting closer and closer Far!"

The butler hurriedly waved the servants away, lest they hear more disrespectful words.

"Your Highness, the crown prince's reputation has been shaken. The prince was young and exiled before finishing school. What can he do? You should listen to His Majesty and wait for His Majesty to arrange things slowly. Sooner or later..."

Nient interrupted: "Why should I wait? I've been waiting for half my life! The position of crown prince should have been mine, and I'm the real eldest son! If it wasn't for the woman who used tricks back then Premature, how could her son take my place?"

The servants all left, only the old housekeeper was there, and he became more and more exposed, and all the resentment hidden in his heart outside burst out.

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have listened to my father's words since I was a child. What kind of forbearance, what is waiting for him to arrange, I should have found someone to kill the Chenxi Palace long ago!"

"Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible!" The steward immediately persuaded, "Everything that has been done will leave traces. The royal family holds great power, and you will not be able to hide things if you do something! Didn't the madam back then just because you treated the little prince... The butler mumbled, "...was it sent to live on the cantilever?"

Nient said disapprovingly: "Even if you fail to murder the prince, it is a capital crime, but what happened a few years ago, my mother just moved away from the main planetary circle, and nothing happened. Father still favors us. With father's protection, What am I afraid of?"

"Your Highness, since this matter did not happen at all, if only His Majesty knew about it, Madam should not have been punished. The bad thing is that what His Majesty can find out, others can find out, especially those with reasonable regimes. The Crown Prince." The butler slowly persuaded, "Send Madam away from the main planetary circle and not allow her to come back. There are still checks and balances from clans, nobles, and various institutions, and no one in this world can truly cover the sky with one hand."

Nient gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah, clan... If it wasn't for the strong opposition from the clan, how could the emperor not dare to give me the title of prince now? Now even that kid can overwhelm me in terms of identity. Xue In such a remote place like Li Xing, why didn't some robber kill him?"

He paused, and before the steward could speak again, he said to himself: "Yes, if he is with the one from the Dawn Palace... until I am the only prince left, what can those clan members say?" What is orthodox or not?"

The steward said: "My lord, you can say this well. The Dawn Palace has been operating on the main planet for so many years, and it is not easy to move! Back then, Madam was discovered before she made a move!"

"Yeah, I know." Nient said impatiently, "I'm going to the gym, don't bother me."

He talked about dealing with the housekeeper like this, but his thought didn't stop, instead it became stronger and stronger.

He also knew that he couldn't move Xiu or Alfred on the main planet easily, neither of them could be moved, let alone two together.However, there is an excellent opportunity now, that is, these two people will return from Xuelixing soon.

The space navigation technology within the empire can be regarded as mature, but there are still accidents in interstellar voyages every year. Although the probability is low, once an accident occurs, it is a major accident and there are few survivors. This has also led to the fact that there are still many ordinary people. I am afraid of this mode of transportation, and I will never leave the planet I was born in for the rest of my life.

If, if you can get your hands dirty in this area...

This matter must be done by himself, and the emperor cannot be known.Even if his father didn't like the sons born by that woman, they were his own sons after all, no one would personally kill his own sons, if the matter could not be done, he would be reprimanded, so he could only beheaded first.

While figuring out what plans could be implemented, he turned on the treadmill and started exercising in the evening as usual.

But he didn't notice that a tiny red dot flickered outside the window.

A few days later, Xue Lixing.

"The second prince is inquiring about when we will leave for home."

Xiu's gaze moved from the book to Alfred's face, and asked, "What is he looking for?"

"I have been lukewarm to me these past few days. I say ten words and you reply one. Why do you care so much when you mention him?" Alfred took the book away from his hand, "Prince, you It breaks my heart to treat the two brothers differently."

Everyone knows this is purely a joke.After all, Alfred was personally taught by the cultivator in the Dawn Palace, and although Xiu and Nient were the same age, the number of times they spoke each year could be counted on one hand.

So Xiu didn't respond to this boring accusation at all, and continued to ask: "Does he want us to go back, or does he want us to go back just like his father?"

"I guess I don't want to. Isn't he a good baby who listens to daddy in everything?" Alfred said, "Just what the emperor said to me a few days ago, I just didn't say it clearly, as long as I can get stuck Go back before the birthday banquet, and keep safe and don’t cause trouble, so he will give me a perfect prince canonization ceremony. Do you know that in the past few days, your handheld has not had any contact from the Holy Golden Palace, what does that mean?"

Xiu calmly said: "It means that he has already learned the information about my house arrest. If you want to prevent us from going back, you don't need to contact me, just persuade you."

"Yeah, it's ridiculous." Alfred said with a sneer, "He didn't want to rescue you, but for the sake of that illegitimate child, he wanted to keep you in this situation for a longer time."

Xiu was not provoked into anger, but simply said: "He and his mother were at odds, and they got married under the pressure of the clan."

"Yes, yes, I know." Alfred was not very interested in this topic, and moved closer to Xiu, "Recently, it seems that everyone is paying more and more attention to when we will go back. If it weren't for the prince, you would shout every day I have a headache, and the doctor is called every now and then to prescribe painkillers, and we should have set off long ago."

If Austin were here, he would know it was a complete lie.For some reason, Alfred made up his mind to stay here temporarily, no matter whether the prince has a headache or not, he will not return to the main planet.

It just happened that the prince claimed that he had not recovered from the aftereffects of the explosion, so he had a ready-made excuse to use.

"His Royal Highness, how long have you been suffering from this sequelae, should you get better?" Alfred said, "I don't know, but I thought you wanted to spend a few more days with me."

Xiu gave him a stern look: "Don't make such frivolous jokes."

"So it wasn't." Alfred bent down, his face was close to that of Xiu who was sitting on the chair, this was a distance that was too ambiguous for a brother.

He asked, "Then why do you keep claiming to have a headache?"

"Maybe it's because of your etiquette." Xiu said, "You are not allowed to sit on the table, it is very indecent."

He was changing the subject again.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Alfred got down from the table bored, the more Xiu avoided, the more he would think, the more he thought, the more he couldn't help getting closer to Xiu, so that he could He could see clearly what was under the man's mask.

"Don't lock the door tonight, okay?" he asked.

Xiu's expression changed subtly for a moment, and just when Alfred thought Xiu would ignore him, he heard a very soft "hmm".

At this moment, someone knocked vigorously on the door of the villa.

They were sitting by the fireplace in the living room, not far from the door, and the delicate atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Alfred gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open roughly, and Austin ran in quickly.

"Your Highness!" He didn't even bother to salute, and said quickly, "Something has happened! Please come out with me now..."

"What are you making such a fuss about?" Alfred said impatiently, "Isn't the second prince dead?"
