Rong Ming's earnest words gradually caused ripples to appear in Rong Sui's originally calm eyes. He stared out the window for a long time, and a solemn look suddenly passed between his brows, which were as light as the breeze, revealing the doubts in his heart that could not be concealed. , "But since my brother came back from Beiluo Master, he has always been at peace with them. Although he is not brother and brother, he can still live in harmony. If they really want to attack me, why do they have to wait until today?"
Rong Ming smiled bitterly, a sad look flashed in his eyes, which seemed to hide a trace of indescribable helplessness, "I believe you have also heard others mention that because of the old past between the brother, mother, and your mother and concubine, they can In the harem of intrigues and intrigues, we still stick to the kindness in our hearts and treat each other sincerely, which is enough to show our deep friendship. Because of this, in the hearts of many people, they regard you and my brother as one."
Rong Sui was startled for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said nothing, a hint of coldness quietly spreading in his eyes.
"When you returned to Shangyuan City, I was supposed to take care of you for the deceased Concubine Ling, but at that time, I was in a whirlpool and was too busy to take care of myself. I had no ability to take care of you. Brother Wei, for this reason I feel deeply ashamed and feel that I have let down the friendship between my queen mother and Concubine Ling." At this point, Rong Ming paused and seemed to feel something in his heart. There seemed to be countless difficult things hidden in his slightly desolate eyes. The past revealed a sense of irresolvable melancholy and loneliness, "Over the years, I have seen several of our brothers die or die, and I feel deeply afraid for my brother. I don't know that one day this blizzard will fall on me. For Brother, I wanted to try my best to make it up to you before the storm came, and to make up for the guilt I had felt for so many years, but I didn’t expect that they saw our two brothers getting closer, and there was also the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling. Due to my previous relationship, I mistakenly thought that you were going to side with my brother, so I actually had evil thoughts in advance and used some despicable means to harm you in order to suppress my brother, hoping to kill two birds with one stone."
At the end of his words, he smiled sadly, and his eyes that could not hide his sorrow seemed to be filled with water, and he said sincerely: "Although everything that happened today was not what I wanted for my brother, it was ultimately because of my brother's wishes." , will cause you to be involved in this dispute in advance. It is your responsibility to be my brother, and it is understandable for you to complain in your heart to my brother."
After listening to Rong Ming's affectionate words, Rong Sui gradually loosened his clenched fingers. When he raised his eyes again, his brows and eyes were already clear. He looked at Rong Ming calmly, his phoenix eyes still warm and elegant, but deep in those dark pupils, there seemed to be something more difficult to find hidden in them.
"It seems that this storm is really unavoidable." He curled his lips and smiled, and asked calmly: "How can you be sure, Your Highness, that I will definitely stand by your side? It is said that people's hearts are hard. Hey, aren't you afraid that my brother will be ungrateful?"
Rong Ming took a deep breath, with a hint of sincerity in his slightly moist eyes, and said frankly: "A kind person does not destroy others to benefit himself, and a benevolent person does not endanger others to gain reputation. What are you doing, Lao Qi?" In my eyes, I have always been an upright and kind-hearted gentleman. I have learned the Beiluo sect's way of benevolence and righteousness. I don't believe you would do something ungrateful."
After saying that, he curled his lips feebly, and a desolate smile flickered on his lips, doubly bitter, "You can rest assured, even if you don't want to stand on my brother's side, you have to find another way. I won’t blame you, even if you really have to stand on the opposite side of me in the future, I will never make things difficult for you.”
Rong Ming's sincere words seemed to move Rong Sui deeply. His brows moved slightly, and a complex look suddenly flashed across his originally calm eyes, which seemed to be full of thoughts. "My brother has been away from the temple for many years. With no power and no foundation, isn't His Highness the Crown Prince afraid that my younger brother will drag you down?"
Rong Ming looked back at him calmly, his eyes were gentle and sincere, revealing a kind and pure feeling. He couldn't help but asked: "Brother, if I was afraid of being dragged down by you, how could I say these heartfelt words to you with all my heart?" ?”
Seeing Rong Sui's silence, he slowly turned his gaze to the window. A gust of cold wind roared past, instantly rolling up the dead leaves on the ground to high places, and finally disappeared into the vast snow.
Rong Ming closed his eyes sadly, an uncontrollable sadness overflowed from his heart and spread to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "You should know very well how the third, fifth, sixth and ninth sons died over the years and in whose hands they died. In this battle without gunpowder, In war, it has become normal for the powerful to fight against each other, let alone the princes? The competition for power will only make the storm bigger and bigger, until it finally swallows up everything." He lowered his eyes and sighed sadly, His tone was touching, "You have concerns in your heart, brother, I understand, but you also have to understand that as princes, we have no choice, and we have no choice but to stay out of it. If we want to survive here, we must Find an umbrella that can protect you from the wind and rain. Only if it is strong enough, can you be protected from the impact. Brother Wei may not be your best choice, but under this imperial city, only Brother Wei is sincere. I want to protect you from the wind and snow.”
Rong Sui stared at him silently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his eyes gradually became complicated. After a long time, he asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats his younger brother with such kindness and righteousness. Is it to make the relationship between the former Queen and his mother-in-law perfect?" The friendship between us?”
"No." Rong Ming shook his head slightly and looked out the window in despair. The flying snow in the sky was like countless memory fragments, falling in his gloomy eyes and gradually condensing into ice. "Since my brother was born, I have been surrounded by people around me. There were countless people in front of him, and they all greeted his brother with smiles and tried to please him in every possible way. It was not until he became sensible that his brother realized that he was going to be the prince when he grew up. But with the death of his mother, the Xiao family gradually declined. Those who once greeted Wei Xiong seemed to have changed their faces overnight. They became indifferent and even a little disgusted. Wei Xiong changed from a proud man surrounded by everyone to a person who no one cares about. Abandoned son, how many people hope that my brother will never recover from the fall, and how many people laugh at my brother's incompetence behind my back."
"The world says that the royal family is ruthless, and people connected by blood become powerful enemies. After experiencing this incident, Brother Wei originally thought so, but it wasn't until I met you that Brother Wei understood that in this seemingly cold and heartless world, It turns out that there is still a warm place in the imperial city." After saying this, Rong Ming's expression gradually softened, and the ice in his eyes seemed to be slowly melting, "After all these years, maybe you have forgotten it, but Every time I think of it, I still remember it vividly."
