There is always a crossing that suits you

The news of the sudden death of the Crown Prince of Xitai was strictly blocked, but after all, fire cannot be covered in paper. If the cause of death is not investigated as soon as possible to deal with future generations, it will be sooner or later that the enemy's spies will catch him.For King Xitai, the most important thing now is not to find out how his eldest son died, but to choose a new crown prince after his eldest son died.The old Supiluliuma I was like an old lion king, afraid that the young and strong lions in the lion group would take his crown.While he is pleased with the excellence of the young princes, he is also afraid of their youth and strength. Like all old kings, he is sensitive and suspicious.

He began to be afraid of Kailu, the son of the former princess, for fear that the young man would drive him off the throne after he took power.Even for his favorite concubine Nakiya, he no longer loves him in the past. He will never forget that this woman has a grown son!

In comparison, King Xitai put more emphasis on Qiao Mu.It wasn't that Supiluliuma I had a crush on Qiao Mu and wanted Qiao Mu to be the prince, but that he knew very well that this ambitious son would never ascend to the throne.The son of a slave girl also wants to inherit the throne?Do not make jokes!In the heart of King Xitai, Sai Nasha should kneel down and thank him for his kindness for being valued by him and possessing military power.Qiao Mu, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, also knew the other party's thoughts very well, but so what?Everything else is false, and the power is still in your own hands before you can rest assured.At least in the eyes of all the courtiers, he, the fourth prince born from a female slave, holds great power, is favored by the king, and is a strong contender for the heir.

Of course, there are also many important officials who can't understand him, and have repeatedly talked about his birth in front of King Xitai.But firstly, the king of Xitai had no intention of letting this son inherit the throne, and secondly, the crown prince died, and he needed a shield to attract attention, so he didn't say a word to those remonstrances.The king didn't express his position, and the courtiers thought they had grasped the point, and became more vigorous in fighting Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu no longer wants to mention his slave girl mother who has been talked about countless times, and he is extremely disgusted with people who talk about his cheap mother, and ignores them all.At the same time, the dislike for the deceased Queen Sidi reached a new height.Although the woman adopted him, she deliberately spread the news that he was born as a slave girl.No one would accept a king who was born of a slave, and this masterful princess did nothing to cut off his path to the throne, and he became a vassal of Kairu.No matter how much he has contributed to Xitai, no matter how good he is, he will always be the "third prince's younger brother" in the eyes of others, and his strength will be regarded as Kailu's political capital. The most abominable thing is that he has nothing else choose.

Coming out of the Yizheng Hall, Qiao Mu hurried straight to the bedroom.In the past few months, he has been as busy as a top, with countless affairs every day, and he has to deal with those honorable ministers with ulterior motives, which is simply annoying.After a hard day's work, I can finally go back to bed and have a good night's sleep.Thinking of the hot spring bath and the soft bed, Qiao Mu hummed a little tune, wishing he could grow four legs and run back.

Running back to the bedroom at full speed, Qiao Mu felt an unusual atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the palace door.

"Irene?!" Qiao Mu called out.

"I let her go down." A deep and hoarse male voice came.

This slightly hoarse voice allowed Qiao Mu to relax his tense muscles and liberate him from the state of preparation for battle.

"Brother." Qiao Mu's voice was unmistakably familiar. Although it was a little hoarse and tired, Kailu was right.

"Sai Nasha." Kailu whispered, walking in front of Qiao Mu.

"What's the matter, brother? His voice sounds uncomfortable. Is he sick?" Qiao Mu touched Kailu's forehead and said worriedly, "Do you want to call the doctor?"

"No need." Kailu took Qiao Mu's hand on his forehead and rubbed it against the side of his face, his whole body was unspeakably tired and fragile.

Only then did Qiao Mu notice that Kailu's fingers were frighteningly cold, which was completely different from the usual warmth.

"Brother, are you okay?" A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and Qiao Mu's voice couldn't help but tense.

"Hmm." Kailu narrowed his eyes halfway, and a glint of pain flashed across. "Xi Li is missing."

"Oh, if that woman from another world disappears, then she disappears. There's nothing to be concerned about."

"I have been sending people to keep an eye on her, but she disappeared one night."

"..."

"The most bizarre thing is that the day she disappeared happened to be the day the crown prince died."

"so what?"

"I checked the crown prince's body and found traces of curse killing." Kailu buried his face in Qiao Mu's palm, and now this hand was as cold as his.

"Is it the princess?"

"It's not water god power."

"...So?" Qiao Mu was silent for a while, then asked.

"Senash, don't you have anything to tell me?"

"What do you want me to tell you?"

Kailu closed his eyes in pain. Although Qiao Mu didn't say it clearly, his performance was enough to explain everything, and the answer was obvious.

"How did my mother die?" Kailu decided to speak after a while of silence.

"How do I know? Maybe he died of poisoning like my mother?" When mentioning the princess, Qiao Mu's eyes flickered brightly, "Who can say for sure about the affairs between the palace and concubines."

"...Can you tell me the reason?" Kailu raised his head and stared fixedly at the star-like eyes of the person in front of him. He decided not to probe anymore and asked directly.

"..." Qiao Mu didn't know how to answer. He had too many reasons, for example, he wanted to live, but the princess wanted to kill him;There are tens of thousands of reasons, and any one of them can deal with the other party.But for some reason, Qiao Mu gave up those high-sounding excuses and finally chose the most authentic, sharpest and most irreversible one.

"I want to be the king of Xitai." Qiao Mu heard himself say this.

"..." Kailu stared deeply at his lover, not knowing when that soft and kind brother had become so strange.He thinks he cares about everything, but is he deceiving himself after all? "Sacrificing the lives of innocent people for the sake of the throne?"

"Brother, didn't your fame come from fighting on the battlefield? Don't you have little blood in your hands? Stop being kind and hypocritical here. You have never been the one who would feel guilty when innocent people were killed! "Actually, I didn't want to say that. I obviously wanted to restore the relationship, but seeing Kailu injured, he couldn't help but go crazy.Don't show that sad expression, it's obviously a dead person, why should you worry about it?

"But among those who died were my mother and our elder brother." Kailu's expression was sad, and there seemed to be unresolved sadness in his eyes.When did the person he loves become a complete stranger to him?Was it because he didn't take good care of Sai Nasha that he lost himself?Is the person in front of him who does anything for power really worth his life to love?

"Once a person like the princess finds out that I have supernatural powers, will he still give me a way out? As for the elder brother? What kind of elder brother is Sharia Alvada? I have never spoken to him more than ten words since I was a child, even an acquaintance No." Regardless of whether these words will hurt Kailu, Qiao Mu said without hesitation, "How my mother died, don't you really know? You really don't know that the princess put slow poison in my diet. Know? Otherwise, why do you want to eat and sleep with me? Kailu, don’t act like you’re hurt, you know all these things! You’re obviously greedy for the death of the princess, without your acquiescence. How could Ji Ya be so smooth?"

After speaking, seeing Kailu's pale face instantly, Qiao Mu broke out in a cold sweat, regretful in his heart.How did he just say it?It's obviously a tacit matter, once such shady secrets are exposed, it will only bring pain and destruction!

Knowing that he said something wrong, Qiao Mu hurried forward and hugged the person in front of him tightly, kissed him with his lips, and murmured softly.

"Brother, brother, brother..."

Only when Kailu felt the warm touch did he recover from the abyss of self-loathing.

"My brother loves me, doesn't he?" Qiao Mu hugged her tightly and whispered in Kailu's ear, "I'm so happy that my brother loves me the most. So it's good that my brother loves me all the time."

"My brother chose Sai Nasha between my mother and Sai Nasha. I am very happy. Don't think about those people. Isn't it good for my brother to be with me?"

"...If I become an obstacle to your obtaining the throne, what will you do to me?" Hearing his younger brother's comfort, Kailu's eyes recovered a little, and he asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.

"Will my brother hinder me?" Qiao Mu asked with an incredulous expression, "My brother loves me so much, he will definitely give up the throne to me, right?"

Looking at such a younger brother, Kailu felt complicated and unspeakable in his heart. Could he not be compared to the throne in the other party's heart?

"I'm going back." Without a direct answer, Kailu pulled away the arms wrapped around his waist and took a step back. "I have to think about it."

Qiao Mu didn't speak, his head was slightly lowered, hiding his expression in the shadows.Kailu couldn't see his expression, so he could only say, "I'm leaving first."
