Song Huan's rapidly running brain suddenly shut down at this moment!
At this moment, there was nothing else in his mind, just a few big words floating through his mind──
Prince what?
What's wrong?
What prince?
Seeing Song Huan, who had always been calm, he was a little stunned at this moment.
Emperor Liang couldn't help but laugh softly.
"how?"
"Boy, don't you want what you got?"
Song Huan's heart finally calmed down.
He looked firmly at Emperor Liang and uttered two powerful words from his mouth——
"want to!"
There is nothing shameful about being able to look directly into the desires of your heart.
To be fair, Song Huan had no intention of competing for this great land, he just wanted to be a free and easy prince.
A life of glory and wealth, surrounded by fat and thin people, doesn't he look good?
However, Song Huan gradually discovered that the beam he was in was not as prosperous as it seemed on the surface.
Under the calm surface, various forces are surging undercurrents, which is not peaceful.
The key is.
As a prince, once he steps into this battle at the top of power, no one can escape unscathed!
Or, one general can succeed and become the winner who has the last laugh.
Or, try your best, only to fail, and ultimately lose everything.
Only the winner can be king, and Song Huan seems to have no other choice.
Seeing that Song Huan could be honest about his thoughts, Emperor Liang smiled with some relief.
"very good!"
"Fourth, I just appreciate your frankness and straightforwardness."
"Three months later, as long as the disaster situation can be resolved smoothly, I will definitely not break my promise."
"I will never let you down!"
"but--"
Song Huan knew that Emperor Liang, an old fox, would never hand over the position of crown prince to him so easily.
As the saying goes, when a person adds two words "but" when speaking, then everything said before that will not count!
Seeing the turn of Emperor Liang's words, Song Huan felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Father, do you have any other instructions?"
Emperor Liang rolled his eyes: "Look at how nervous you brat is!"
"Actually, there is nothing else to do. Since you are the future prince of Daliang, it is only natural that you should send an envoy from the Xia Kingdom for me."
"I am ill. The messenger will leave Beijing in the afternoon, so there is no need to come to the palace to see the saint."
"As the representative of Daliang, please send the envoy out of the city."
Song Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "So this is what happened!"
"My son, I thought it was such a big problem!"
"...Wait a minute, send the envoy out of the city?"
Emperor Liang nodded lightly: "What, are you in trouble?"
Song Huan complained endlessly in his heart. This was not as big a problem as Emperor Liang posing for himself!
Sending the envoy out of the city, doesn't that mean that he has to meet Xia Wenying, the female plague goddess again?
Thinking of this, Song Huan unconsciously put on a mask of pain and felt uncomfortable all over!
Seeing Song Huan's strange look, Emperor Liang was a little puzzled: "Isn't he just sending the envoy out of the city?"
"You kid, tell me what you have to say, don't hide it."
Can you say this kind of thing casually?
Is it possible to say that the real third princess of Xia Kingdom wants to sleep with her again and again, and also wants to follow her to Xia Kingdom to be her son-in-law?
Not to mention that Emperor Liang would think this was a fantasy, even Song Huan himself thought it was a bit ridiculous when he said it out loud!
"No, it's nothing," Song Huan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Father, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
Song Huan comforted himself in his heart. Anyway, this was to send the envoy out of the city, and it should be the last time.
Besides, the nominal third princess of Xia Kingdom should be the maid pretending to be Xia Wenying.
Even if he was sending off the envoy from Xia Kingdom, he probably wouldn't have any direct contact with her.
Thinking of this, Song Huan finally felt a little calmer.
How can a dignified man be afraid of a woman?
The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, but Song Huan wanted to see what kind of monster this third princess could be!
…
It snowed on and off for several days and finally stopped completely.
A few rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and sprinkled on the snow-covered ground, making the sky and earth covered in silver look particularly beautiful.
A luxuriously decorated carriage came out of the palace and sped towards the south of the city.
In the carriage, the second prince Song De was leaning against the carriage window with his eyes closed to meditate.
When he thought that everything was going in the direction he planned, Song De couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help turning up.
Soon, Xu Jiajun will be completely at his own disposal, and Xu Rong will eventually be unable to escape the sanctions of his father.
By that time, he will have a lot of military power in his hands, and all of Xu Rong's old subordinates will also obey his orders.
This is completely different from having Xu Rong controlling him behind his back. This is called real power!
And those loyal subordinates of Xu Rong have also firmly believed that Song Huan must be the one who caused Xu Rong to end up in such a situation.
With these people working together to deal with Song Huan, is there any need to take the initiative on his own?
Song Huan had always wanted to fight with him, but what could he use to fight with him?
dream!
"Uu——"
The carriage came to an abrupt stop, and the strong impact instantly interrupted Song De's dream.
"Are you looking for death?"
Song De was furious and stretched out his head, intending to see which little eunuch with no eyesight could even drive a carriage!
The little eunuch knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowing and apologizing to Song De on the carriage.
"Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life!"
"It's not that my slave acted recklessly, it's just that a long queue suddenly formed in front of me and it was so jammed!"
"This slave never expected it!"
When Song De heard this, he glanced forward impatiently.
You don’t know this by looking at it, you’ll be shocked when you see it!
Song De's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the long queue in front of him with some disbelief.
"What is this doing?"
"Why is this road so blocked?"
"You, go over and see what's going on!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch didn't dare to delay and quickly squeezed into the crowd to inquire about Song De's situation.
After a while, the little eunuch came back panting.
"Your Highness!"
"I heard from the people watching that the house of the great businessman Zhou Yingkai is right in front of me."
"It is said that this big businessman has just been found to have serious tax evasion, and the Ministry of Revenue is raiding his house right now!"
Zhou Yingkai...
This name sounds so familiar!
Song De thought for a moment and then remembered, isn't this Zhou Yingkai the businessman who came to see him a few days ago?
The root reason why Zhou Yingkai's house was confiscated should not be as simple as tax evasion!
If he hadn't offended Song Huan, would he have suffered such a tragic end?
As the saying goes, you will not survive if you do it yourself.
With his current fate, it is really the result of this man seeking his own death!
Song De spat on the ground: "It was his home that was ransacked, why are you blocking my way?"
"Let the bunch of bastards in front of you get out of the way for me!"
