Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 432; Willing?
"If you don't even know the most basic responsibilities of a crown prince, what are you still fighting for?"

When Emperor Zhaowu said this, his anger reached its peak. He grabbed the inkstone on the imperial desk and smashed it to the ground.

He really couldn't understand what the two bastards in front of him were thinking, and the same went for the deposed crown prince.

All three of them are idiots. All they do is form cliques for personal gain and suppress their own brothers. Each of them thinks that he can become the crown prince by defeating his own brother.

what is this?
This means they don't take the emperor seriously at all, or they simply treat the emperor as a fool.

Do you think he is so blind that he can't even see who is suitable to be the successor?
Instead of thinking about how to make the country strong and stable day by day, he is still alive, but one by one they start to covet his position. If Wen Ruo was not still young, he would be annoyed just by looking at such idiots.

The two men who were kneeling there were trembling all over. They had never seen their father so angry before.

At this moment, they didn't even dare to explain themselves and could only remain silent in fear.

"Alright, this is the last chance I will give you. If you continue to do these messy things, you will not be able to hold the position of crown prince, and you will not even be able to sit on the throne of the prince anymore."

"I don't like the people of the world thinking that my son is a fool. I can't afford to lose this person."

After giving them a lecture, Emperor Zhaowu glanced at his two sons who were still kneeling there with disgust and told them to get out.

The two men walked out of the imperial study with unsteady steps and looked at each other. At this moment, the fear in their eyes had not yet dissipated.

Just like that, the two brothers walked out of the palace side by side in silence without communicating with each other the entire time. But when they left the palace and got on the carriage, they both looked at each other meaningfully.

Although there were no words, it seemed as if they had reached some consensus.

That afternoon, the two brothers prepared generous gifts and went to the Prince of Qin's Palace in person, and also stayed for dinner at the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Since then, there have been no problems in the Qin Palace. The officials in the capital seemed to have received some orders and were no longer keeping a distance from the Qin Palace, but of course they were not close to it either.

But even if it was just like this, the Qin Palace's life in the capital was much better.

When the King of Qin discovered this incident, he breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, Marquis Xuanwu came to Beijing.

He first went to the imperial palace, and it is said that he talked with Emperor Zhaowu in the imperial study for more than an hour. As for what they talked about, no one knows.

Huo Junyao also asked people to inquire, but got no information.

Then, she no longer had any thoughts on the matter and continued to busy herself with her birthday.

On the third day after Marquis Xuanwu returned to the capital, he took his two children to the Prince of Qin's Palace.

"Your Highness, I greet His Majesty the King of Qin."

"Marquis Xuanwu, please sit down without being polite."

Marquis Xuanwu led a pair of people and politely walked to the side and sat down.

"It's been many years since we last met. Your Highness has grown so strong and vigorous now. If the Crown Prince could see this, he would surely be pleased."

When he heard him mention his father, King Qin had a faint smile on his face and a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Father would certainly be pleased if he knew that Marquis Xuanwu had always been loyal to the Yu Dynasty."

Hearing this, Xuanwu Hou smiled and said, "Thanks to the prince for his cultivation, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. I will always remember this kindness in my heart and will never forget it."

At this point, Xuanwu Hou suddenly stopped smiling, turned to look at Gao Changting beside him, and shouted in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"

Gao Changting was no longer as arrogant as she was when she first came to the capital. She walked to the middle and knelt down obediently.

"Your Highness, I know everything this wicked girl said. I have spoiled her too much over the years, causing her to become a little ignorant."

Afterwards, he scolded Gao Changting and asked her to apologize.

The King of Qin did not say much, but smiled and said that everything was over.

"I just arrived in the capital, and I heard that the prince was not having a very good time in the capital before?"

"It's nothing. After all, I've been in Qin for many years. Coming back suddenly always makes people think too much. But it's all in the past. It's Marquis Xuanwu, you must have worked hard in Xihu Pass these years."

"Have you ever thought about returning to the capital to spend your remaining years?"

Xuanwu Hou was silent for a moment, then he said, "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. When I returned to the capital that day and saw the emperor, the emperor wanted me to stay in the capital."

"Oh?"

Although he had already guessed it, King Qin was still a little surprised to hear that the emperor was so impatient.

Originally, he thought that even if Emperor Zhaowu had this intention, he would probably take it step by step. He never expected that Emperor Zhaowu would be so straightforward.

"Actually, even though I've lived in Xihuguan for so many years, I'm still not used to the life there."

"My Lord, you are old now, and you should really enjoy your old age. It's good for you to come back to the capital, so that we can move around more."

"And I heard that the prince has not married yet, and Xiaoting is not young anymore. It will be a good thing for them to come back to the capital."

Xuanwu Hou said with a somewhat helpless look on his face; "Indeed, I have felt that my health has been getting worse over the years, and the children are not young anymore, so I should make good arrangements for them."

Although neither of them said it explicitly, the meaning behind their words was already very clear.

"By the way, I also heard that Xiaoting offended Princess Zhaode. I just arrived in the capital and am not very familiar with this place. I hope Your Highness can help introduce me to someone. I plan to personally bring Xiaoting to apologize to the princess."

Hearing this, the King of Qin frowned and said helplessly, "To be honest with you, Marquis Xuanwu, I also offended Zhaode last time. Even if I want to recommend him now, I'm afraid Zhaode won't be willing."

"However, if you can ask His Majesty for help, I think Zhaode would be willing to see you."

Marquis Xuanwu didn't say anything else, and the two chatted for a while, talking about things in the past and recent developments in recent years.

By the time Marquis Xuanwu left the Qin Palace, Emperor Zhaowu had already learned about their conversation.

"Gao Fu, do you think Xuanwu Hou is really willing to return to the capital?"

"From the conversation between him and His Royal Highness Prince Qin, I think he has already made this plan."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, but soon frowned and said, "I still don't quite believe that he would agree so easily. He must know that if he gives up Xihu Pass and returns to the capital, it will not be easy for Xuanwu Marquisate to stand up again in the future."

With military power in his hands, even though Marquis Xuanwu is only a marquis, his influence and status in the court are greater than those of some dukes.

But once he loses his military power and returns to the capital, Marquis Xuanwu will immediately fall from the top tier to the second tier, or even the third tier.

Will Marquis Xuanwu be willing?
