Xue Lixing's "Prince's Palace" is really inappropriate to say that it is a palace, because this is just a larger villa, and it is a different thing from a palace.

However, the border conditions are limited, and the prince's visit is very sudden, so it is not bad to prepare like this.

Alfred followed Xiu into this "palace", and the entourage retired one after another to do chores, and Xiu brought Alfred into his study.

"Close the door." Xiu ordered.

Needless to say, Alfred had already closed the door, and only the two brothers were left in the spacious study.

This scene is too familiar, no matter how calm and composed they are on the surface, they are actually fluctuating in their hearts.

Ever since he was a child, Alfred has been led into the prince's study by Xiu countless times like this, and closed the door to talk about private conversations between the two brothers.

Sometimes it was Alfred who wanted to discuss his unruly views with Xiu, and sometimes it was Xiu who didn't want to scold him in front of others, but secretly analyzed the pros and cons and taught him the principles.

Alfred thought that his principles of doing things and his independent personality were formed through private discussions and teachings in the prince's study when he was young.

Now, he was standing in the "Prince's Study Room". This was a strange room, and the person in front of him also made him feel strange.

Xiu stood in front of the French window with his back to Alfred. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard Alfred say: "Prince, when was the last time you and I talked alone, do you remember?"

Xiu was silent.

Alfred knew his temperament well, Xiu was not the kind of person who would waste energy responding to provocations, so Alfred continued on his own: "I have always remembered the prince's last words to me in the past two years. Don’t dare to forget that sentence for a second.”

"That's good." Xiu said, turning to face him, "Let's get down to business. What are you doing this play for today?"

"The prince carefully set up the stage for me and found an audience to support me. How can I not work hard?" Alfred laughed, "I heard that the original itinerary also included student dormitories. Is the press release for visiting the little prince embarrassingly empty?" Has it been written? It's a pity that it won't be needed."

Xiu didn't continue the second half of the sentence, but just said: "Do you think that the play you acted in will not be exposed? Those people are not rebels at all."

Alfred said indifferently: "Assassinate the prince in public, what does it matter if he is a rebel?"

"Of course it's related." Xiu said.

"Oh, yes, it's related to your contribution to the rebel army." Alfred seemed to have just remembered this relationship, he sneered, and suggested: "It's very easy for the prince to keep the meritorious service, just stand up Just explain where these people came from.”

Xiu went to the large desk and sat down, looked up at him, and slowly said: "This is a big matter, I have personally asked all the media present to suppress the news for the time being, and wait for the results of the interrogation."

Alfred said without showing any weakness: "So the media, you say to suppress the news, can the news be suppressed? I have been on Xueli for two years, and I never knew that there are so many families on this terribly cold planet." The media, it’s really difficult for the prince to invite them all—but now you want them all to shut up, doesn’t it feel a bit like shooting yourself in the foot?”

"As long as I want, I can do it. They would rather offend you than me." Xiu crossed his fingers and said calmly, "Because I am the crown prince, and you are just an exiled prince without a title."

These words are a bit embarrassing. Alfred has restrained his emotions a lot in the past two years. He still took two seconds to control the anger he was provoked, and said coldly: "The truth. However, what the prince is most worried about is not meritorious deeds." Can you keep it? You came to Xueli Xing in such a hurry, you came here after hearing other news."

Xiu didn't deny it, but asked instead: "Then, is the news true?"

"It depends on what news you heard." Alfred laughed, "If it's the news that I was promoted to Second Lieutenant, it is indeed true."

"Nonsense." Xiu said in a deep voice, "That is the Royal Legion loyal to His Majesty, not a place for you to sneak in with a false identity and try to interfere."

Alfred said: "Forget it, who doesn't know that it's the soldier that Austin's father hangs under his name, and it's not a serious legion. Austin has been staying on the main planet to enjoy himself. Regardless of this, I will go over for him What's the matter with Guan Guan? The prince should stop talking sarcasticly, you are sitting comfortably in your palace, and someone has delivered the news to you, but what about me? I spent a lot of money on gifts, and I will accompany you I don’t know how many times the bar stayed up all night, and then I worked hard to get a little bit of information after being promoted to the military rank.”

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and said suddenly: "Prince, you and I have only recently heard the news, but the Royal Legion is directly loyal to His Majesty, and he has known about it for a long time. Even if he doesn't want to get me Why didn't you tell this prince?"

Xiu lowered his eyes, and said indifferently: "The second prince visited a few living planets on a trip last year. On those planets, the Royal Legion temporarily stationed for 'training'."

"So that's how it is." Alfred sneered, "So he was busy accumulating the credit for this incident on his precious son, for fear that you or I would take the credit for leaking the news."

"Don't talk about Your Majesty." Xiu subconsciously said.

Alfred was stunned for a moment by the admonition he had said too many times before, but this time he did not shut up obediently like he did every time when he was a teenager, but said unceremoniously: "You can go to the St. I feel like I did two years ago. I heard that the mission of Star Xueli is about to be completed... I am looking forward to it. When the news spreads, I will transform into a hero who saves the world. How will the crown prince deal with himself? "

Xiu said without emotion: "Alfred, I thought you had made some progress, but you still think the problem is so naive. I have already visited Xueli in person, do you think that this news can still spread as you think?" ?"

"Then we'll just wait and see."

After Alfred finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave without saluting.

When holding the doorknob, he suddenly said: "Prince, do you regret it?"

Xiu paused, and asked, "What?"

"It's obvious that you ordered the destruction of that planet, but you blamed me. Who would have expected that the person who ordered the destruction of that planet would become a hero." Alfred turned and looked at him, "Until now Do you regret this passive situation?"

Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and he said very seriously: "I have never regretted it."

Alfred's throat was suddenly blocked by hostility, as if he had returned to the day when his faith collapsed two years ago.

Two years ago, at the front line, Xiu found him and asked him to sign some kind of "combat statistics form", saying that it would be used to pay off meritorious deeds later, but he signed it without even looking at it.

After all, this is his elder brother, he can die for his elder brother without blinking an eye, how could he doubt him.

Then things seemed to get out of control all of a sudden, the asteroid was destroyed, they were rushed back to the palace, and then the document he signed appeared in the Shengjin Palace, which became the evidence that he issued military orders privately beyond the crown prince.

The verification was correct, and it was signed by him himself, so the crime of brutality and disregard for human life can no longer be refuted.

Alfred's world collapsed. He watched Xiu plead for forgiveness for him in the Holy Golden Palace, but what Xiu said about the frontline situation, what the little prince was eager to suppress the bandits at that time, and what the little prince thought the situation was urgent... were all fabricated lies.

He just looked at his extremely trusting elder brother like that, spit out absurd lies one after another, seemingly pleading for him, but actually every sentence sat down on his crime, and he could no longer refute it.

Who would doubt that the eldest prince who has always loved the little prince is not telling the truth?

In the 19 years of his life up to that time, Alfred devoted himself to defending Wei Xiu's position as the crown prince, and never saved any power for himself. Once he was framed, he had no power to resist.

Soon, the charges were confirmed, and the punishment was also determined. Xiu personally sent him—or rather, escorted him to the starship port of the main planet, and sent him away.

Before leaving, Alfred still did not give up and asked to have a private conversation with Xiu.He grabbed Xiu by the collar and asked him why, "I believe in you so much", Alfred, who was only 19 years old at the time, screamed this sentence, saying it over and over again, until he burst into tears.

I trust you so much!Why?I trust you so much!

Xiu just pushed him away, with a cold look on his face, and said high and high: "Alfred, I will teach you the last lesson now. That is - don't trust anyone."
