Chapter 378
Winners and losers, these four words were taught to him by Emperor Zhao when he was enlightened.

As the prince born under the queen's knees, from the moment he was born, he was surrounded by glory and at the same time he also had the same burden. He must do his best in every word and deed, and will exhaust everything he wants There is no way to fight for it, even if it is unscrupulous.

From the moment he was born, what he wanted was either what he had from birth, or what he could get by using means. It can be said that it went smoothly without any setbacks, and he did not lose to anyone.

Before Xiao Que intersected with his life.

Fu Yunshu and the throne were the only two defeats in his life, and both were in the hands of the same person, and the defeat was so messed up that there was no room for recovery.

At the palace banquet, apart from the empress who tried to find out that Xiao Que had the intention of accepting disciples and wanted him to defeat Xiao Que as a teacher, it was not that no one had heard of Xiao Que's name.

Xiao Que, son of Yuyan, became famous at a young age, and his fame moved the capital. Compared with Chu Huaichao, the prime minister of the left, who sees his head but doesn't see his end, people compare them together who are both young talents.At that time, when I heard Xiao Que's name, although my father gave Xiao Que some courtesy, but my heart was mostly disdainful.No matter how powerful it is, he is the prince, but he is just a courtier.

It's just that he is disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he is the prince of Lixian Corporal, so he naturally respects Xiao Que on the surface.However, it is undeniable that from the very beginning when I actually saw him, I hated him very much.

Because he is too handsome, because he is talented, because his father admires him very much, because his bones are more conceited than him.

Outsiders say that the second prince Xuan Ling is modest and polite, but in fact Xuan Ling is a very conceited person, and his outward modesty is just a cover-up.But Xiao Que is so self-confident, an aura as if he was born with everything and looks down on the world.

It's just the head of a Jianghu sect who has a little power in the Jianghu and is appreciated by his father. What kind of capital is there to be so arrogant!

Just like what Nandi envoy said - Xiao Que looked more like a prince than him, and those words touched the taboo in Xuan Ling's heart, a kind of inexplicable jealousy of Xiao Que - yes, jealousy, from the very beginning He was born to be noble and smarter than ordinary princes, and was appreciated by Emperor Zhao. He was jealous of a commoner who didn't even have an official position.

In the middle of the night that day, the words of the empress of Fengyi Palace made him feel like a bolt from the blue—Xiao Que was actually a descendant of the royal family just like him.When Xiao Que was a commoner, he was already no match for him. If the two were really put on equal status, how would he fight.

Whether it was a mistake or for his own selfish desires, he finally made such an irreversible move. He was betting on who would win in the end when Xiao Que got the imperial city first.

However, when Chuan Guo Yuxi was only a few feet away from him, and he would soon be able to step on that position, a sword interrupted all his dreams, the cold chill on his neck, that man was as cold as snow The look in his eyes, until he was unloaded until today - he didn't know how he lost.

In the cold palace, the gray sky outside can only be seen from a piece of broken tile. He is surrounded by heavily guarded guards, which seal the water inside and outside the cold palace. He was not tortured in shackles, but his movements were restricted in this courtyard, and the guards with expressionless faces stared at him in turn, for fear that he would commit suicide.

His Royal Highness, who used to be a glorious prince, was reduced to a prisoner, at least in Xuan Ling's heart, he thanked them for imprisoning him in such a sealed place as the Leng Palace - that would save many people from being ridiculed and treated coldly...

He naturally knew the truth of success and defeat. When he took this step, he had already guessed that this might happen and planned for the worst.He wouldn't choose to end his life like this without knowing why he lost.At least, he needs to know exactly how he lost,

Shouldn't the prince who committed such a serious crime be imprisoned in the prison or the clan mansion?Why is it in the cold palace, guarded by heavy soldiers, and no order to deal with him has been made, it doesn't look like the father is resolute.

Could it be that he was lenient and wanted to spare himself?Xuan Ling himself sneered as soon as he guessed this, how could a person who didn't even care about the brotherhood back then care about the bond of flesh and blood?

Footsteps came from the silent cold palace where the sound of falling leaves could be heard, and then the closed vermilion door slowly opened. Xuan Ling opened his eyes, and saw a man in a white brocade robe slowly walking in, with an elegant posture, His expression was cold, and he was so out of place with such a dilapidated place.

He has been playing with a brocade box in his left hand. After entering, his right hand gestured to the guards behind him. The guards in the room left one after another. In an instant, the dilapidated palace door closed again. Just the two of them.

After Xiao Que came in, he stood at the door without speaking. Xuan Ling sat on the stone couch and looked at Xiao Que and Xiao Que coldly. It is already completely under Xiao Que's control, the harem is like this, and I don't know what happened to the situation in the previous dynasty.

Xiao Que came here today, did he come to deliver an order to deal with him?Or just to see his jokes?
Seeing that Xiao Que didn't even leave a single bodyguard behind, Xuan Ling snorted coldly and said, "Master Zuo is really relieved that no bodyguard will stay with me alone, isn't he afraid that I will be unfavorable to you?"

Xiao Que smiled undeniably, although he didn't say anything, but Xuan Ling could see the contempt in his eyes - how stupid what he said just now, since Xiao Que was able to put the sword on him under heavy guards Why worry about him who is unarmed and a prisoner now.

Xuan Ling's clenched fist loosened again, and now that he is a prisoner, his character will certainly not be as impulsive as before—at least he should know what it means to know the current affairs, so seeing that Xiao Que didn't speak, he sneered and said : "How can Mr. Zuo Xiang, who has made great contributions in rehabilitating him, have time to come and see me, a down-and-out prince who failed in his rebellion?"

Looking at Xiao Que with anger and resentment in his eyes, or should I change my name and call you——

"His Royal Highness..."

The quiet cold palace is so quiet that the sound of falling leaves blown by the wind outside can be heard, and the deep mottled palace gate hides the secret of the deep palace here.

Those four words hide Xuanling's reluctance. During these years of operation, he is the most outstanding of his father's sons. As the crown prince, when all the trajectories of his life were heading towards his originally planned path, the secret told to him by the Queen of Fengyi Palace broke all his good ideas——

"Xiao Que, it's your half-brother..."

That sentence lingered in his heart like a curse, making him restless.Xiao Que, the person he looked up to even though he was a prince and prince from the very beginning, did not expect to be his elder brother, the illegitimate son of his father.

Undoubtedly, among the few children, the father had the highest expectations of him. Judging from the fact that he let himself win the Fu family away from the Lin family, it was clear that he was planning for his future career as the heir.Even if Xiao Que is the illegitimate son of his father, it doesn't matter if he is the illegitimate son of his father, he can't be seen by the left and right, and he can't be admitted to the clan.

However, it's fine if it's someone else, but he is the world-renowned Mr. Yuyan.

The queen said that the royal father has never forgotten Xiao Que's mother and concubine these years. Even though he did not recognize Xiao Que back to the royal family due to various reasons, the royal father recalled Xiao Que when he was seriously ill. If they recognized Xiao Que while he was still alive, then even though he was still the crown prince, if Emperor Zhao favored Xiao Que and according to Xiao Que's strength in the court, what they did these years would be meaningless.

He also wanted to inherit the throne in the name of the truth, but it was Emperor Zhao who forced him to rebel, so that he took the bow and arrow to shoot at Emperor Zhao without any hesitation or hesitation.He knows that taking this step, there is no difference between making one mistake and making ten mistakes.

If you lose, you lose, but when he saw Xiao Que, he was still not reconciled, why the only two setbacks he suffered in his life were all in Xiao Que's hands.

When he heard those four words, Xiao Que just sneered, "Prince." It seemed that he dismissed this extremely noble title, and said lightly: "Your Highness was also a prince with infinite glory yesterday, so what happened to His Highness today?" Woolen cloth?"

Xuan Ling's eyes were red, and he stood up abruptly. Following his movements, the iron chain "squeaked" and struggled to think of Xiao Que, but there was only a short distance away - "Who gave me my fate today."

Xuan Ling was only a few steps away from him, and Xiao Que was a head taller than Xuan Ling. At this time, Xiao Que was looking down at his embarrassed appearance, and there was no trace of gloating in his eyes that Xuan Ling imagined. , but looked at him with a flat, sympathetic attitude and said: "It is not me who caused your end today, but your ambition and your father..."

As he spoke, Xiao Que raised his left hand slightly——following his movement, Xuan Ling's pupils shrank involuntarily with what he was holding in his left hand.

The Chuanguo Yuxi fell into Xiao Que's hands!

Looking at Xuan Ling's more resentful eyes, Xiao Que smiled.As if stimulated by something, Xuan Ling desperately wanted to take the jade seal from Xiao Que's hand.

The iron chain limited his range of activities so that he was only a little away from Xiao Que, and he still couldn't reach the jade seal. In his crazy movements, the iron chain swept across the precious agarwood box in Xiao Que's hand.

Even Xuan Ling didn't expect it, he just held the box in vain, and the box symbolizing the power of the world was swept away by the iron chain and fell to the ground...
