This guide is insane (Interstellar)

In other words, in order to maintain the current level, I can hardly make ends meet every month, so... "He stretched out his white palm to Yan Huamiao, which was cleaner than his face.

However, Yan Huamiao lowered his head, looked at himself for a while, and then lowered his voice, "The income of a major general is not as good as that of a lieutenant general." His voice was pitifully low. To be honest, he himself felt embarrassed, and wished he could bury his head in the in the field.

His words stunned Chu Kun for a moment, and after a while he raised his head in surprise, "You won't be living worse than me, right?" It will not be able to uncover the pot.

A penny is hard for a good man, and a person who is overwhelmed by poverty can't breathe. Xue Chen looked at the top of his head and saw a word "poor" on the heads of three people. It can't be like this, absolutely not. "Looks like we have to think about it after we get out Way, if we keep going like this, I’m afraid we’ll all be hungry, which doesn’t sound very good.”

The three nodded and thought to themselves, the three squatting on the ground were having a headache for the future rations, and their goal in the distance was approaching step by step, the man gradually appeared in the center of vision, Yan Huamiao was the first to notice this man, his In line with all the information provided by Xiao,

As his footsteps got closer, Yan Huamiao became more and more convinced that it was this person.

Following his gaze, Chu Kun and Xue Chen also slowly noticed the target. They nodded to each other, then slowly approached each other, and gradually formed a siege. approaching, run away.

Seeing this, the three hurriedly waved away the crowd, gathered in one place and bit tightly behind that person, but they just squatted in this area after they came here, and they really didn't know much about the map. A corner flashed by, and the person in front of them The roads lead in all directions, and they lost their way.

"Damn the road, let's look separately. We must find him today." Xue Chen shouted, then raised his leg and rushed to a small path. Seeing this, Chu Kun chose the other end without hesitation. Seeing that Yan Huamiao was frozen in place, he hurriedly shouted, "Why are you in a daze and go away."

Turning his head and leaving this sentence, Chu Kun disappeared into the crowd without hesitation, leaving only Yan Huamiao standing there frowning.

He seemed to be hesitant looking at the direction Xuechen was leaving. It wasn't until a moment later that he turned his head and looked aside, staring at the intersection leading to the unknown. He clenched his teeth and raised his legs forward as if making up his mind. It didn't take long There were no more figures of the three of them here, only the bustling crowd was left making noise there.

Xuechen was chasing the black-robed man in front all the way, he didn't dare to relax a bit, maybe because of his too fast speed, by chance he

Seeing the hem of the man's clothes opened by running, embroidered with blue and gold lace, the pattern was unique and exuded a kind of nobility, Xue Chen quickened his pace to see it more clearly, but the touch of blue flashed across his eyes It was only for a moment, and then it never reappeared, and Xuechen was not given a second chance.

Unknowingly, the surrounding area became more and more sparsely populated, but Xue Chen was only focused on the target in front of him at this time, and did not notice this. Due to the unfamiliar route, the distance between Xue Chen and the target was always close and far away, as if it would only take a moment to completely lose.

At this moment, the other party accelerated suddenly, Xue Chen didn't have time to react for a while, the distance between him and that person widened within a few seconds, Xue Chen wanted to speed up, but several people jumped off the left and right walls head-on , They blocked Xue Chen's way with lewd and evil faces.

Seeing this, Xuechen stopped abruptly, looked at the crowd surrounding him and cursed, "Get out of here immediately, I don't have time to play with you bastards now."

Hearing this, the leading man stepped forward and said, "Hey, sweetheart, don't be so angry, what should you do if you lose your body, you must know that a guide is worth a lot of money in this secret auction, don't be angry It's just scratched a little bit, that's also a broken piece of gold, to be honest, I didn't expect that today's luck would be so good, this baby bump that was delivered to my door would fall into my hands... "

He spoke patiently, but Xuechen didn't have time to listen to his nonsense here, before he could finish the second half of the sentence, he spat out all his teeth and blood, and the head-on punch made everyone stunned. The person who spoke one second before flew out the next second, but was pulled back by someone forcefully before his figure drifted away, and then there was a loud noise that made people feel chills, Xue Chen lowered his head and the wind blew around him. He grabbed his hair, twisted half a circle with his left hand, pressed the man's face into the wall, and twisted hard.

The other shrimp soldiers and crab generals leaned back slightly when they saw this scene, and couldn't help but tremble a little. None of them saw Xuechen make a move, as if that person met Lord Yan in the blink of an eye.

Anger filled his heart like magma hidden in a volcano, Xue Chen clenched his fists tightly, because these idiots now lost the trace of that person, and it is unknown whether there will be a chance in the future, at this time, the volcano in Xue Chen's heart was wiped with countless ashes. The sky is dyed, this seems to be a horn of disaster, and it really shook the sky in just a moment, and the magma spewed out to destroy everything.

Xuechen moved, and he quickly shuttled through the crowd. Wherever he went, blood stained the loess under his feet, making this place a red, blood-colored Shura field. Finally, he turned his head and wanted to leave, but when he turned his head, he saw a silvery white light, and blood splashed and stained Xuechen's face, but he didn't react at all to this, allowing the blood to stain himself red.

Those people were crying, their pupils dilated, and they choked up, "No, no, I'm sorry, we'll get out of here right away, please let us go." Hearing this, Xue Chen slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "No, you didn't Wrong, there is no need to go away, anyway, now I have a lot of time thanks to you, we can take our time, don't worry." His pupils radiated scarlet light, and a bloody world was reflected in the depths of his eyes.

☆, will not be cheated

Xuechen sat on the roof, the flames at his fingertips were faintly visible, he let out a long breath, the smoke blurred his eyes, and the smell of cigarettes enveloped him for a long time. After that, all the smoke was swept away, and the outside world fell into his eyes again.

The sound of footsteps awakened his consciousness. He turned his head to look aside and saw Yan Huamiao walking slowly. He raised his eyes to see the cigarette on Xuechen's fingertips, and at the same time noticed the ashes on the ground, so he hurried forward a few steps He raised his hand to take away the boredom from Xuechen's fingertips.

He opened the mouth and said, "It's almost enough to be bothered. It's not your fault that you lost someone. When I left, I thought that this might happen, so I arrived in time when I noticed that your mental power was fluctuating abnormally. "

God knows how horrible and worrisome the scene he saw when he went there was a dozen people lying down at his guide's feet, and Xue Chen seemed to have turned into a pool of blood, and he stood quietly in it There is no expression.

At that time, the blood stained his whole body and also stained his whole world, but fortunately, he seemed to be purely angry and wanted to sink into destruction. The blood on the ground and the blood on the wall did not come from him, and his body was nothing. It's a big problem, but since then Xuechen seems to have been extremely irritable. He sat on the roof for a whole afternoon and hasn't recovered until now.

Seeing his cigarette being taken away, Xue Chen raised his head a little annoyed and said, "You know that some failures are irreversible. Because of our failure this time, it will be even more difficult for us to learn about the third prince. message."

Hearing this, Yan Huamiao slowly lowered his angle of view, and said, "There is a good thing or a bad thing, which one do you want to hear first?" Seeing Yan Huamiao asking, Xue Chen felt helpless for a moment, "I don't like this kind of boring choice. I can do it, it doesn’t make any difference anyway.” He turned his head to look aside, but his ears perked up.

Seeing what he said, Yan Huamiao relaxed a little and said, "Then let me tell you the good news first. The good news is...." As soon as he said this, Xue Chen changed his mind in an instant, and he turned his head and hugged him. Shoulder to "I want to hear the bad one first."

His words interrupted Yan Huamiao, but seeing Xuechen's rare cheer up, how could Yan Huamiao refuse, so he thought for a while and said, "The good news is that that person is not the person we are looking for. He and San It has nothing to do with the prince, because before he released the mission that caused the third prince to disappear, he had released other missions many times, and although those missions were hidden, they all pointed to the third prince secretly. None of the people on the mission came back."

This means that they all failed, or they all died, and all the results were no different from those of the assassins. The third prince really wanted to take the opportunity to make himself disappear in the face, but it was unreasonable to confront him again and again. It's unreasonable to do it yourself, so the disappearance of the third prince should just be an opportunity. He used someone else's hand to make himself disappear.

Xue Chen obviously thought about this and nodded, Yan Huamiao continued to say, "Why do you want me to tell you the first good news?" Xue Chen was embarrassed by his rhetorical question, coughed twice to cover up his guilt "I don't need you to tell me. The good news is that the escaped man is irrelevant to us now. Even if we catch him, it is impossible to find out the whereabouts of the third prince."

So it is no longer so important for me to lose someone. Thinking of this, the corners of Xuechen's mouth turned up slightly, but after a while, he froze again, turned his head to look at Yan Huamiao, and said, "I think you seem to be hiding another bad news."

"What?" Yan Huamiao pretended not to understand, but Xuechen moved closer and stared at Yan Huamiao closely, but Yan Huamiao's eyes were calm when facing this gaze, which made Xuechen feel extremely frustrated, so he could only turn his head and squint at him. I don't care about it anymore.

"Angry?" Yan Huamiao asked, Xuechen straightened up and stroked his hair with his hand, displeasure was written all over his face, but he still said, "No."

"I'm angry." Yan Huamiao lowered his center of gravity and moved closer, but Xuechen still refused to admit that he just wanted to say no, but his head hurt, so the words on his lips changed, "Hey, hit me." Xuechen glared at each other, but Yan Huamiao didn't mind at all, and just asked again, "Are you angry?"

Xuechen was furious when he heard this, so he said with a cold face, "boring, I don't want to waste time here." After that, he turned his head and turned his body to Yan Huamiao, rewarding him with an exasperated back, and Yan Huamiao didn't agree with that. He didn't care, he just raised his hand and grabbed Xue Chen, making him lean against his chest.

Sensing this, Xuechen wanted to break free from this strange relative position, but he was restrained before he could move, "Let me go." Xuechen said, "I refuse." Yan Huamiao hugged him even tighter, so the two hugged each other tightly. In such a stalemate, no one is willing to give in easily.

"Okay, you two are almost ready." Standing by the side, Chu Kun felt embarrassed from head to toe, but then thought about what Xiao told him a few days ago, the way he looked at these two people Full of weirdness, Xiao asked himself not long ago who Yan Huamiao or Xuechen was the stronger side. This question was too strange, and he didn't care about it at first, but seeing this scene now seems a little dangerous.

The behavior of the two was interrupted, and they turned to Chu Kun over there at the same time. Xue Chen asked, "What's the matter, what are you looking at?" The emperor sent someone to look for you and told you to go to the palace to have a talk."

Xuechen and Yan Huamiao looked at each other when they heard this, their eyes were firm and abnormal, "It really gave me a pillow for sleepy, maybe we can find something when we go to the palace." His words also expressed what Yan Huamiao was thinking, so the two People hastily got up and rushed to the palace.

After a while, they appeared in front of the gate of the main hall of the imperial palace. Looking at the guards in front of the gate, they looked a little hesitant. When they looked up, they could only hear severe reproaches in their ears, as if the emperor was questioning someone. Would it be uncomfortable to go in like this? OK.

However, although there was some hesitation in his heart, the guard stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty told me to let everyone go in directly. He has something important to discuss with you. The situation is extremely urgent now, and there is no delay."

Although the guard said so, Yan Huamiao still stood in front of the door and hesitated for a long time. After a while, the voice inside became a little quieter before stepping in. Seeing the scene in front of him, Yan Huamiao and Xuechen were stunned at the same time, but suddenly Returning to the original, covering the surprise in the eyes.

Seeing the two people coming in, the emperor motioned them to step aside for the time being. Seeing the emperor's behavior, Xue Chen and Yan Huamiao had no choice but to step back and stand in the corner. The questioning was still going on. The emperor scolded the fourth prince sternly, without any sympathy in his words. , and the cause of the incident turned out to be that the fourth prince ate at the mansion at the time when it was not supposed to be, and ate an extra supper that day.

"Prince, what is a prince, you must restrain yourself and abide by all the rules. You will definitely become one of the princes in the future. How can you be so casual? How can you help the future king after letting yourself go like this?" The emperor's words were surprisingly Severe, but more is to give people a feeling of deliberate criticism.

There is no rule in the royal family that people who eat late at night will be blamed. What the emperor did today was deliberately making things difficult for him. At this time, he was so merciless in front of himself and Yan Huamiao, just to make the fourth prince lose face. By the way A message is conveyed between the lines, that is, it is impossible for him to make the fourth prince the emperor, and if the family stands in the camp of the fourth prince, there is no chance of winning.

After the scolding was over, the emperor seemed to remember that there were Xuechen and Yan Huamiao, so he asked the fourth prince to reflect and talk with Yan Huamiao and Xuechen. Although the guards said it was an emergency, they actually just came to ask about the current situation , Let me ask you something about the third prince by the way.

"Hey, my son will continue to bother you. Please give him more guidance. In the future, I will trouble the Yan family." The emperor said this in front of the fourth prince, trying to convey the truth of the third prince and Yan Yan. The illusion of a good family relationship is to cut off the fourth prince's solicitation from the root, and it also does not leave the Yan family with a choice. They can only and must stand with the third prince.

Yan Huamiao was a little displeased when he heard this. After all, no one likes to be forced to be tied to others. However, sometimes they have to make compromises. For example, it is obviously not what the emperor said, but they can only respond in silence.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky became dark. Yan Huamiao looked up many times to remind Emperor Yan that the time was up. Seeing this scene, the emperor seemed to have calmed down. It's almost there, you guys go away." Yan Huamiao nodded and turned to leave, Xuechen looked at the fourth prince's eyes full of displeasure, but left together without saying anything.

After walking out, the fourth prince thanked Yan Huamiao. Although his actions were not for himself at all, he still apologized. Seeing his behavior, Yan Huamiao said, "I don't dare to thank you, but I just remind you that the purpose of the emperor today It’s just to embarrass you, and if you don’t stop, there will be more similar things in the future, this time it’s calling me, and next time it may be facing many courtiers.”

The fourth prince curled his lips and smiled when he heard this, "It is said that the young master of the Yan family knows people with eyes and never treats people with prejudice, but in my opinion, I'm afraid it may not be so. You don't understand father's thoughts, but I have self-knowledge." , I knew from the very beginning that it was not my turn to sit on the throne, so it doesn't matter who else sits on me."

Hearing this, Xue Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Your words mean something, but it's just that people don't understand the meaning. Right now, you and His Highness the Third Highness are the ones who support you the most. Now that His Highness is missing, who do you think is the most beneficial? Who did this thing?"

☆, aloof from the world?

"Whose handwriting?" The Four Emperors laughed. He didn't want to answer this question, but raised his head and said, "The emperor is swaying, and the courtiers stand in line. However, they are all others, not me. Their actions are only based on the filth in his heart. I have nothing to do with it, they speculate that I have greed for the throne, but unfortunately I am not interested in that thing."

What is the throne?What is an empire?It was nothing but a mess. If there were a more shining throne, who would care about the bench made of broken wood? Poor group of mediocre people, thinking that everyone will give up their lives for this grain of rice in front of them is really ridiculous and sad.

The corners of the fourth prince's mouth were raised slightly, and he looked up at Xue Chen and Yan Huamiao again, noticing the smile at the corner of his mouth, Xue Chen frowned and raised his head and said, "What you said is just sophistry, if you are not interested in the throne, then You can announce to everyone that you will give up the throne and withdraw from the competition, but you didn't, you acquiesced in their actions, and acquiesced in their putting the lives of the whole family on you."

Xuechen stared at the fourth prince closely, his eyes were full of scrutiny, he often felt that something was wrong with this person, he was obviously wearing golden silk and jade, but he exuded a strange feeling all over his body, as if It's out of place with this palace.

The bright light shines on him, but he still seems to be in eternal darkness, no one can see through his figure, no one can guess what he thinks in his heart, just like the moment he speaks now, Xuechen is I don't know what this guy is thinking.

The fourth prince's lips moved slightly, Yan Huamiao and Xue Chen's pupils dilated, Xue Chen gritted his teeth and felt his whole body trembling. He had never seen anyone so indifferent to other people's lives and the consequences.

Obviously just one sentence, one statement can avoid the turmoil of the family and the crisis of the empire, but he smiled and watched people sacrifice their lives for themselves, and watched the empire bleed for disputes that did not exist. Xue Chen controlled his breathing and said, "What did you say?" , nothing to do with you?"

This sentence made Xuechen extremely angry, but this was just the beginning. The fourth prince's next words were shocking, "Yeah, what does it have to do with me, I didn't force them to put the whole family's life on me, everything is their own People have to pay the price for their greed, it couldn’t be simpler.”

The scene froze for a moment, Xue Chen raised his head and sneered a few times and said, "You said that you are not interested in the throne and have no intention of inheriting the throne, but you let those aristocratic families bet their lives for you. Talk about thousands of people dying, you watch them step by step towards the cliff because of you, and then jump off one by one, and then you say that it has nothing to do with you.”

The voice of doubt echoed in the air, and the cold wind could not extinguish the anger in Xuechen's heart, but he didn't care about this and the fourth prince just said, "How did you expect that my brother would treat the aristocratic family after he ascended the throne?" Take a shot, maybe he won't do that in order to stabilize the situation in the empire."

What he said made Xuechen feel angry, and he raised his head and said, "It's rare for someone to be tolerant enough to face others against him, hurt himself or even prepare to kill himself, and let him not save any revenge. Even if there is, he is not the third prince, he will not let it go Those aristocratic families who pushed themselves into the abyss, and..." Xue Chen said after thinking for a long time, he always felt that the third prince did not have any good feelings for the aristocratic family, and none of the people he used came from the aristocratic family, so he tried his best to attract Yan Yan. Home is also only because of need.

In other words, rather than entrusting a family to manage the empire, he is more willing to control everything himself. If this person ascends to the throne someday, he will be the first to clean up those dictatorial families. He has enough reasons, so he will not let go of this opportunity to make use of it.

Thinking of this, Xue Chen turned his head to look at the fourth prince and said, "Very well, the lives of everyone in the aristocratic family have nothing to do with you, and whether the imperial capital is in turmoil has nothing to do with you, so I always have to ask, are you not afraid that he will be the first to kill you after he ascends the throne?" Is it you, this must have something to do with you."

Hearing this, the fourth prince's face froze but he didn't answer. Seeing that he couldn't deal with Xue Chen, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let me answer for you. There are only two options in front of you now. First, what do you want?" I have prepared the way out, holding something to make him dare not act rashly, and secondly, everything you said before was just a lie to prevaricate me, and everything you did was just to make us relax our vigilance. Now choose one of the two Which one do you choose, Your Highness?"

Xuechen's pressing question made him change his expression, he turned his head and snorted slightly, "In the end, you just don't believe it, but it doesn't matter, whether you believe it or not doesn't hinder me, if you really think my words today are not enough Sophistry, let's take a look and see who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter in the end."

After saying this, he raised his feet and stepped forward, ignoring the two people behind him, and Xue Chen didn't intend to pay attention to his departure, but he still couldn't help but said, "The third prince is missing, and he treats you as a For the worst enemy, you know what that means."

The fourth prince stopped when he heard the voice behind him, turned his head to look at Xue Chen behind him and said, "Are you worried about me?" Xue Chen smiled coldly at his words, and raised his head and said, "I'm not worried about you, I just hope that the land of the empire will not be polluted by blood that shouldn't be shed."

After saying this, Xue Chen turned around and left without any remembrance, leaving only the fourth prince standing there alone. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth in the wind and said, "This is a smart man. Sometimes a smart man can be annoying. Sometimes people like it." And all that decides is whether he is on his side.

Looking up at the sky, the fourth prince said, "Everything in the world is a coincidence, and some coincidences can be used and others can't. I'm waiting for the time. I believe you will arrive soon." Looking at the sky, the third prince's eyes pierced It penetrates far, far, far to the other side of the interstellar world.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and that person got a little closer. Facing the fourth prince, he knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, according to Chi Yan's report, the behavior of the third prince is a bit strange. He came after us, but judging from now, we still don't know his goal and next move." This behavior made this subordinate frown slightly, and he didn't understand what was going on.

However, if he didn't know, it didn't mean that the fourth prince didn't know either. He just smiled when he heard his subordinates' feedback, and then said, "It's right that they didn't come for us. After all, I'm not that stupid. Knowing how to solve it will only make things worse." No, because neither our emperor nor the people of the empire will allow a murderer to take that position, after all, there are other options besides me and him."

Hearing this sentence, the people below slowly lowered their heads and said, "Then how does Your Highness think we should respond?" The fourth prince thought for a while and said, "Notify Chi Yan and his mercenary group to be careful, he may gradually weaken My strength, and then I will send a message to my mother, telling her how difficult the emperor is for me today." After saying this, the third prince smiled coldly, looked up and took a deep breath, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. No smile.

Xuechen in the distance frowned and stopped suddenly. Seeing this scene, Yan Huamiao turned his head to look at the other party and said, "What's the matter, what are you thinking?" He didn't know what was going on in his little guide's head

Seeing him say this, Xue Chen looked a little hesitant, but in the end he said, "Don't you think that these actions against the third prince have been very hasty. Richong, even if he failed again and again, he didn't have a plan to improve himself, and he acted as if they didn't care about the result."

The words made people think deeply, the wind howled through the gap between the two, and the two looked at each other for a long time, Yan Huamiao said, "Tell the fourth prince that he has no intention of power, do you think it is true or not?" His words were scattered in the air , It seems that it only takes a moment to disappear with the wind.

However, no matter how it exists, it exists, and the truth is the truth. Even if it becomes the past, no one can deny it. When Xue Chen heard this, he said, "I think what he said is true. You once said that the emperor is very afraid of the fourth prince." , then whether what he holds in his hand is not only a threat to the emperor, but also a threat to anyone sitting on the throne."

"So he is not afraid of anyone sitting on the throne, so he said that it doesn't matter who is in that position." Yan Huamiao continued, Xue Chen nodded when he heard this, and now the problem is that the fourth prince did not do all of this , Then who is secretly inducing people to blame all of this on the fourth prince.

Thinking of this, all kinds of questions came to his mind, Xue Chen felt extremely irritable, it was all about it, it was endless, really wanted them all to disappear, so that there would not be so much trouble.

So he raised his head to look at Yan Huamiao and said, "If it's possible, I'll kill the whole litter, and save them from fighting openly and secretly to hurt each other." Of course, this can only be said, the royal family is still very important to the empire. If you really killed them all, the Yan family wouldn't have to live anymore, just wait to be killed by other families in the empire.

"Okay, things will be clear, but before that, I think we have to visit someone, maybe he can tell us something." Yan Huamiao said this, but he didn't want to think that way in his heart, after all, that person had a relationship with the third prince How close they are, their relationship is so good, it would be chilling to say that this matter was really done by him.

"Who?" Xue Chen asked, he knew he came here at this time, I'm afraid this person must be inextricably linked to this matter, but he searched in his brain for a long time, and even racked his brains, he couldn't come up with anything. So he wondered, "How can there be others who can benefit from it?"

Yan Huamiao nodded and said, "The emperor has a total of five children, four sons, one was expelled, one disappeared, and the other was behind him, and the remaining one rarely appeared, as if he had nothing to do with the world."

☆, born different

"Inviolate from the world, if you really have nothing to do with the world, you probably wouldn't mention it, but although I doubt it, I have never heard of what this person has done." There is no information about this person in my mind, his existence is It sounds inconceivable that there was a blank space, and now the people of this blank space, who are not involved, are expected to be the biggest beneficiaries of it all.

Xue Chen didn't know what was going on with him, what kind of person he was. Sensing Xue Chen's doubts, Yan Huamiao raised his head and said, "I really don't know much about the Fifth Prince. The only thing I know is that he was born weak. As the seasons move, I often fall ill, and because of this reason, no one has proposed to support it."

But just such a person, with a frail body, a prince who was almost ignored in the political arena of the empire, has now become the target of suspicion, but is he really capable of planning all this secretly?Although I thought so in my heart, the situation had developed so far. Among the four princes, if the fourth prince was excluded, he was the only one who could really compete with the third prince. After all, the other was exiled thousands of miles away.

"Let's go and see him, maybe it's all overthinking." In Xuechen's mind, he couldn't imagine a patient dragging his frail body between two tigers, but Xuechen understood that although I can't imagine it myself, but it doesn't mean that things won't be like this, I have to see everything before talking about it.

Hearing Xue Chen's words, Yan Huamiao nodded, raised his head and said, "Let's go, let's visit this fourth prince who was born in the palace but rarely appeared." The two looked at each other, Yan Huamiao stretched out his hand to signal Xue Chen to hold him. He kept up with the pace, but Xuechen just turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "It's not like children holding hands and going on an outing, what are you doing?"

It's just that even though he said this, he still pulled Yan Huamiao uncomfortably and turned his head, "Don't lose me, I..." He just wanted to continue but saw that he was stuck in the middle, and suddenly remembered whether he was right or not. I know people here, so the embarrassment made Xue Chen blush a little. Seeing Xue Chen like this, Yan Huamiao then said, "Don't worry, no one will get lost if you follow me." landed in one place.

Passing through the guards all the way forward, they came to a remote palace where there were few guards. Seeing that the two outsiders, Yan Huamiao and Xuechen, did not stop him, this negligent attitude made Xuechen frowned. After all, he was also a prince. The place where I live is too remote, and it's strange that the guards are so lax.

Xuechen glanced around, and there was a sea of ​​blue flowers everywhere. Perhaps it was because of withering, the petals were slightly curled up with a light yellow color. Although the demise of the flowers made people feel sad, under the decoration of the sun, it made The withered and yellow lace seemed to be outlined with golden threads, exuding a different kind of beauty around her.

After a while, the eyes of the two fell on a person in the distance. The young man stood in the middle of the flowers with a pale face, as if he was smearing something. The fluttering silver hair made him look fragile and fragile, and made him look like a mirror. will disappear.

Xue Chen was a little hesitant. He always felt that being malicious towards such a person was really a suspicion of bullying. , as if beckoning them to come forward.

Seeing this, Yan Huamiao and Xuechen walked up slowly and said, "Good day." The fifth prince nodded with a smile, and said, "My place is the most remote corner of the palace. There have been few people passing by. I didn't expect to be here today. Seeing two of you here, I think you are not just here to look for me."

The fifth prince put down the paintbrush in his hand and looked up at the two of them. However, Yan Huamiao and Xuechen didn't know how to respond to his words, so the two could only respond in silence, and stared at each other closely, hoping that he could tell the truth from the conversation, and see The two didn't speak, and the fifth prince said, "I heard that my brother disappeared a while ago. I don't know what's going on now. It's really worrying."

He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he could see the figure of the third prince in the distance through the courtyard. Seeing this, Xue Chen asked with a complicated expression, "Did your Highness only learn of this news recently?" Although he really didn't want to This kind of questioning started, but there were some things he had to figure out, he had to figure it out, so today he had to open his mouth to figure out who was secretly controlling everything.

Seeing Xue Chen ask the fifth prince this way, he frowned slightly, and seemed a little embarrassed, but finally said, "I am in this small corner, isolated from the outside world, and my elder brother regards me as transparent. Originally, my third elder brother took care of me. But now that I have nothing, who else can tell me what's going on outside, although I'm not blind or deaf, but what's the use, I've long been cut off from the world and no one cares about it."

His words were full of sadness, but Xue Chen didn't dare to believe it easily. After all, these were just a few words, and the words were far from the truth. No matter how eloquent he was, the fact that he was the ultimate beneficiary was unshakable. However, His words blocked everything Xue Chen wanted to say in his throat.

Xuechen couldn't press such a person, and couldn't even have any desire to attack him. His weakness made it difficult for Xuechen to have the heart to deal with him, so he scratched his head. Xuechen took a step back and handed over this opponent to Yan Huamiao .

Seeing his guide returning the stall to himself, Yan Huamiao said, "It's been so long, and in a few days it will be the autumn festival of the empire. It stands to reason that the emperor and the third prince presided over it in previous years. I wonder if this year's job will fall on on whom."

The Autumn Harvest Festival is one of the most important celebrations in the empire. The emperor and the princes have to go through the palace to patrol the city. In addition to the emperor, the person who presides over it is the future heir in the emperor's heart. In previous years, the position belonged to the third prince, but now the third prince If he is missing, then there is a lot of discussion about who will take this position in the ruling and opposition parties.

Although a large number of people recommended the fourth prince to come on board, the emperor seemed dissatisfied with this proposal and kept procrastinating, letting those aristocratic families grind their mouths to the ground, but it didn't work at all. Now thinking about the recent situation, Yan Huamiao doubts that this person will be the one in the end. Come to host, then if this matter is really designed by him, he has already succeeded in more than half.

Hearing Yan Huamiao's question, the fifth prince lowered his brows and said, "Yeah, something always needs to be done by someone. The centuries-old tradition of the empire cannot be neglected, but I'm telling you in private, please don't tell others. There seems to be a big rift between me and the fourth brother, so I still hope that you can find the whereabouts of the third brother as soon as possible, and ask him to come back and preside over all this."

His words are impartial and selfless, but the more they are like this, the more suspicious they are, so Yan Huamiao said, "We have been trying our best to find the whereabouts of His Highness the Third Highness in recent days, but there is still nothing to gain, and there are less than five days left before the Autumn Festival, so short I’m afraid it will be difficult to gain anything.”

Xuechen observed the expression of the fifth prince calmly, but there was no sadness or joy on his face. If there was anything really, he might just be worried, but he let out a long breath and looked up at Yan Huamiao. Step forward and say "May I say something offensive."

The fifth prince nodded and spread his hands to signal Xue Chen that there is no need to worry. Seeing him like this, Xue Chen spoke directly to the point, "Dare to ask if His Highness is interested in that position, and whether he intends to replace it."

Thunder roared, and the fourth prince looked towards the far edge of the sky, where dark clouds rolled up, slowly clenched his hands, looked up to the sky and said, "We are all princes, if I am not interested in that position, I will I don’t even want to believe it, let alone others, but you see my body is so broken, so what if I tried my best to stand in that position.”

Speaking of this, the fifth prince's emotions seemed to be a little out of control, Xue Chen lowered his head and said no more, Yan Huamiao stepped forward and said, "Everyone has their own desires, but if you maliciously hurt your relatives just to satisfy yourself, you don't want to come here if you want to." It's not appropriate, I hope everyone in this palace can always remember that the children of the royal family are connected by blood."

The sound fell and the thunder sounded, and a bolt of lightning split the sky. The fifth prince lowered his head so that people could not see his expression clearly. At this time, the wind blew up the flowers and scattered them into mud, and the raindrops slowly fell to wet the canvas. It was diluted and blurred, but no one cared about it. Everyone looked up at the sky and felt a slight chill on their bodies.

Yan Huamiao looked at the sky and nodded, "Your Highness, the heavy rain is coming. You should not carry your body here. Please go back earlier and take care of your body." After that, he took Xuechen and bowed away. Disappeared in the rain.

The fifth prince's body suddenly fell down uncontrollably. He coughed hard, raised his arms and slowly hugged himself to gain some warmth. At this moment, a person appeared behind him, and he knelt on the ground and squeezed He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my lord, please punish me for my crime. It's my disadvantage in doing things that made these people come to my door. I beg you..."

"No, it's not your fault. It's impossible for him to find this place based on that clue. It was my good fourth brother who pointed out a way for these people. Recently, our actions have been a little bit different, so he can see the clue. Nothing weird, but now it's here
