Your Highness

Chapter 65 I Can't Find It

"I will see my father!" After entering the door, Zhao Xuanjie immediately knelt down, "I don't know what orders my father has for calling my son here late at night!"

Listening to his son's voice behind him, Zhao Zhengde's figure that had almost melted into the darkness suddenly released a cold air that could almost frostbite people.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Zhao Zhengde knew who was coming, and without turning around, he still turned his back to Zhao Xuanjie and said in a rather heavy tone: "Lao Qi, among all my sons, your crown prince and Zhao Xuanfeng are the most up-to-date, It can be said that every time I look at my white hair and think about who should be the next emperor, the first thing I think of is you!"

Having said that, Zhao Zhengde paused for a moment, "A person who can become a generation of emperors needs to have a broad mind. You are all my sons. The last thing I want to see is to see you in my heirs. To the scene of brothers killing each other!"

Hearing Zhao Zhengde's previous words, Zhao Xuanjie was overjoyed. Although judging from the emperor's behavior, the emperor valued his crown prince and the youngest three most, but conjectures are just conjectures after all. Since ancient times, everyone has known that the emperor's heart is unpredictable. , One moment it seems that you are someone he relies on very much, and the next second is the time to tear you into pieces.

So when I heard Zhao Zhengde say with my own ears that even when he was thinking about the inheritance of the throne, the first thing he considered was that he naturally had a little more confidence and joy in his heart, but this joy had not been expressed in time. Zhao Zhengde's next sentence made this The Seventh Prince's heart suddenly turned cold.

Since ancient times, no matter which emperor he is, he has climbed to that position by stepping on layers of bones. From the prince to the crown prince, and finally to the ninth-five position, most of the enemies he faces along the way are his own. own brother.

The emperor has many heirs, so there are many people who have the power to inherit the throne, but one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, one country cannot tolerate two monarchs, and a country can only have one king, but there are more than one who can fully inherit the emperor's throne. it has started.

The battle for succession also pays attention to kindness. If you are kind to others, what are you going to do? Use your life as a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne?
This is naturally impossible, Zhao Xuanjie sneered in his heart, he dared to say that every person who became an emperor climbed up by stepping on the blood of his brothers.

So when he heard Zhao Zhengde tell him that he secretly said that he sent Zhao Xuanfeng to the sky prison because Zhao Xuanfeng let his maidservant assassinate the crown prince, so he was convicted, Zhao Xuanjie heard that Zhao Zhengde actually passed on the throne. The first thing to consider is that his joy suddenly and completely disappeared.

A layer of coolness welled up in his heart, Zhao Xuanjie concealed the emotions in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The reason why the third brother is like this is just because he is worried about the safety of the ninth brother, but His Royal Highness is protecting the assassin who tried to assassinate the old nine. , and the relationship between the third child and the ninth child has always been very good, this is also the fundamental reason why the servant girl under the third child and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compete for each other!"

When saying this, Zhao Xuanjie deliberately mentioned the relationship between Xuan Yu and Zhao Xuanfeng. Everyone in the palace knows that the third prince and the ninth prince grew up together, and how deep their relationship is. It can be seen in the practice of supporting the third prince instead of his own son.

Given that Zhao Zhengde's killing intent towards Zhao Xuanfeng was strong at this time, Zhao Xuanjie's mention of it at the same time drew Xuan Yu into Zhao Zhengde's killing intent.

He admitted that it was a bit despicable for him to do so, but how can he stand out among the many princes without being despicable, you must know that a child born in the royal family does not need kindness!

"Hmph!" Sure enough, Zhao Zhengde snorted coldly, his terrifying dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and even Zhao Xuanjie, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help trembling in his heart, but thinking of that man, although it was rumored to be fierce and terrifying outside, But in front of him, he revealed the firm and unrepentant appearance of the woman who was inseparable from life and death in Biluohuangquan, and the corner of his mouth evoked an evil arc.

Didn't you say that if she dies, you will die with her? Then I want to see if women's promises are more reliable than men's?

Although I thought so in my heart, in the depths of that beating cold heart, there was something called jealousy that took root in my heart.

"From my point of view, that day was probably nothing more than a play that Lao Jiu and Lao Qi conspired to co-star in to bring down the prince. I'm afraid they still thought that once they moved to Qing'er, they would lose a powerful player in the battle for the throne." Opponents, people like them who don't even care about brotherhood, don't deserve to be called my sons!"

The more Zhao Zhengde talked, the more he felt that what he was saying was reasonable, and the more he talked, the more intense the killing intent in his heart became. Just when Zhao Zhengde's anger was uncontrollably showing on his face, Zhao Xuanjie felt uneasy, but saw Zhao Zhengde suddenly thought of something, the anger on his face disappeared instantly, he turned around and looked at Zhao Xuanjie with a burning gaze.

"I don't know what is the important order for the father to call his son to come here late at night!" Somewhat uncertain what Zhao Zhengde was thinking, Zhao Xuanjie had to return the topic to what he had asked when he came here.

"Of course..." After Zhao Zhengde finished speaking, Zhao Xuanjie suddenly felt cold all over, but he didn't dare to show the slightest in front of Zhao Zhengde.

"Why did the father choose my son!" When he said this, Zhao Xuanjie instinctively wanted to refuse. He really wanted to kill Xuan Yu, but that would only work if he borrowed a knife. After all, if Nangong Yunyan knew Xuan Yu Yu died in his hands, so, with that woman's temperament, she must die, and she will definitely not...

Damn it, why did he think of Nangong Yunyan again, Zhao Xuanjie rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Didn't I say that the most important thing is Zhao Xuanfeng. As for Yu'er, it depends on her performance. If she is really in the same group as Zhao Xuanfeng, then there is no need for Concubine Chu and the Yang family to exist. If Xuan If Yu doesn't know, then I will treat Concubine Chu kindly!"

Zhao Xuanjie felt chills in his heart. After Xuan Yu died, the infertile Concubine Chu might not be happy for the rest of her life even if she lived!
Compared with the previous orchid burial, the toxicity of the sanhun powder is more violent. Once such poison enters the blood of a person, it is a matter of narrow escape.

After receiving the poison Zhao Zhengde handed him, Zhao Xuanjie pursed his lips. He didn't feel much about Zhao Xuanfeng's death. After all, it was clear that Zhao Xuanfeng was not the emperor's son, but Xuanyu, Xuanyu was the son of the concubine Chu who loved the emperor so much. , what is flowing on his body is the blood of his cold-blooded father.

And at this moment, Zhao Xuanfeng took a deep breath, and he suddenly understood why he was so cold-blooded, compared to the fact that this cold blood was inherited from the father in front of him.

"Why do you have any objections?" Zhao Xuanjie didn't respond after saying these words. Zhao Zhengde's face turned grim. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were much colder than before.
