Go up to the ladder.
Chu Lan's expression changed under the dim light.
I don’t know if it was a layer of window paper being vaguely pierced or the initial frightened, Chu Lan felt that her mind had calmed down.
Speaking of which, he has seen the world! He is well-read in poetry and books, and is used to bloody storms in history books!
He took the teacup and sighed: "The prince is joking. How can I climb the ladder like my Chu family?"
Xiao Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, if your Chu family has a home like this, it is obtained by climbing the ladder. Otherwise, how could you sit at home today, with the husband and wife, the children are worry-free, and the little wealth is at peace."
Chu Lan was a little angry: "I can't understand what the prince said. I, Chu Lan, never commit crimes, and can't even be a villain? Just because of my brother, I can't live like a person in the eyes of the world?"
After saying that, he placed the teacup heavily on the table.
Xiao Xun said: "Can you know very well in your heart. Moreover, Mr. Chu, are you living now what you want?"
He also placed the teacup on the table, slowly and silently, but Chu Lan's heart trembled.
"When your brother is glorious, you are dull in the eyes of the world. When you see you, everyone will only say that you are Chu Ku's brother. Even if you are full of knowledge and talent, it is useless."
"When your brother was in the eyes of the world, you became an accomplice. You have to bear the contempt and humiliation. Your knowledgeable and talented person is still useless."
"Mr. Chu, you will always be just Mr. Chu, elder brother Chu, no one remembers your name."
"I came today and before, because of Chu Ku. Mr. Chu wouldn't think that I admire your knowledge, right?"
Chu Lan's face turned red and white, and she couldn't bear the self-esteem of a scholar anymore. He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, please come back, I, Chu Lan, dare not bear your love."
Xiao Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, don't be angry, the truth and reality are always hurtful."
Chu Lan sneered and said, "I, Chu Lan, have a bad life and deserve this humiliation."
Xiao Xun's voice was slow: "Mr. Chu is not bad for his life. After all, you are brothers and sisters. You are the same parents and raise them in the same environment. You learn martial arts from literature and martial arts. He is brave and resourceful. You are the descendant of the famous Shangshu family. He has made achievements. You teach disciples in the mountains. He has a reputation that can be seen in front of you. You have achieved achievements in educating people for a hundred years. You two brothers have their own strengths. How can you say that you have a bad life?"
Chu Lan has never heard of praise, but turned her head and said lightly: "The prince is too much, Chu Lan dares not be the one."
"But it's useless to have a good life," Xiao Xun said, "You still end up in a state where no one cares about you or even live a life of silence."
"Are the prince here to protect me or to kill me tonight?" Chu Lan slapped the table in anger, "I've been living a life of mercy, so you can let me go."
Xiao Xun laughed and said meaningfully: "Mr. Chu dares to slap the table with me now, which shows that his fate is different."
Chu Lan's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, and she lowered her eyes to salute: "Your Highness, Chu Lan thanks you for protecting each other, but Chu Lan knew it was unbearable, so she asked the prince to give her mercy."
Xiao Xun said: "I haven't finished what I said just now. It's not that you are not lucky. You just haven't encountered the ladder of climbing the sky. Chu Ku met His Majesty and climbed to the sky with one foot. From then on, you can only be at the bottom of him. No matter what you do, you can't surpass his light."
Chu Lan shook hands, raised her head and sighed: "It's still a bad life. Thank you, the prince, this matter--"
"Then you have this life now." Xiao Xun interrupted and looked at him, "Do you want to step on this ladder to heaven?"
The young man stared at him in the dim light, as if he saw him in his heart. Chu Lan couldn't help but clench his hand and squeezed out a smile: "What the prince said? I can't even understand. Alas, this world is so chaotic, why can you climb the ladder?"
Xiao Xun smiled and withdrew his aggressive gaze, lowered his eyes to his hands, and gently stroked them.
"The prince is dead," he said.
Chu Lan whined, her voice trembling: "This, this--"
"The third prince should not be able to survive." Xiao Xun continued, "Even if he survives, His Majesty will not let him be the crown prince. This is what His Majesty is like. He is too doting when he is passionate, and when he is ruthless, he will not recognize his relatives."
Chu Lan's throat was dry: "Ah, this - I'm a villain-"
He wanted to say that such things were not something that a villain like him could discuss.
Xiao Xun interrupted again and looked up at him: "Mr. Chu, do you think I can be the prince?"
Chu Lan looked at him in shock, and this time he couldn't make any sound.
"Oh, no, the prince's son is still there." Xiao Xun said, looking at Chu Lan and smiling slightly, "With him here, I can't be the prince."
A word came like a punch, Chu Lan couldn't bear it anymore and took two steps back.
He knew that things were not that simple.
He knew that Chu Ku must have caused trouble.
Oh my God, he is really going to be killed by Chu Ku.
Chu Lan stood as a wooden stake, her mind was full of messy thoughts, but it was blank again.
The room was quiet, but no one rushed in, and the swords and swords were flying everywhere.
The young prince sat quietly, poured tea himself and Chu Lan.
"Mr. Chu," he said, "sit down and talk."
Chu Lan was stunned. She sat down, but she still didn't. Can he make the decision by himself? He sat down hunchedly.
"Mr. Chu drinks tea." Xiao Xun said.
Chu Lan picked up the tea and took a sip. What should he do? What should he do? He doesn't want to die-
Seeing that the man had returned to his previous infatuation and did not slap the table without stern face, Xiao Xun smiled: "Mr. Chu is different from Chu Ku--"
Now that Chu Lan heard this, she was not angry at all and murmured: "Yes, I am different from him, I am not as good as him, I don't know what he is--"
Xiao Xun interrupted him: "I mean, you are different from Chu Ku. Chu is about to die, and Mr. Chu, you will have to live for a long time."
Chu Lan was stunned for a moment. What does this mean? It means, don’t kill him anymore?
"Crown Prince--" he called, but hesitated for a moment and swallowed some of the words.
He didn't say that it wasn't that he was so steadfast, but that he was afraid - he said it was death, and if he didn't say it was death, he didn't want to die yet, so he could only pretend to be dead now.
Xiao Xun didn't care about his hesitation, but raised his hand and stopped him: "Mr. Chu, don't have to speak for now. Listen to me, I'll finish it, and you will discuss whether what I said is right."
He came to make a judgment on whether what he said was right? Chu Lan was even more confused.
"I said before that the prince is dead, the third prince is abolished, the prince's son is only six years old this year. He is the prince's bloodline and is naturally the heir. However, Your Majesty ignores the government for many years and is in poor health. Your Majesty, the old and weak, and the young crown prince, is this a good thing for Daxia?"
"Will the world be peaceful or more turbulent?"
"Mr. Chu, you are a well-educated person, and you must have a judgment in your heart."
Chu Lan remained silent. Even if he was not familiar with poetry and books, he knew how to judge after listening to these words. He was not stupid.
Xiao Xun didn't force him to give an answer immediately.
"Let's talk about you, Mr. Chu, I said before, I can set foot in the Chu family and talk to you, Mr. Chu, not because of you, Mr. Chu, but because of Chu Ku." He said, looking at Chu Lan, and smiled meaningfully, "I am like this, and so are other people."
Chu Lan lowered her gaze, like an old monk entering into meditation, and heard Xiao Xun's voice slowly coming.
"So, what Mr. Chu does now will only be considered as Chu Ku's power. His merit has nothing to do with you, Mr. Chu."
"I said before that Chu Ku is different from you. Chu Ku is about to die, and Mr. Chu, you will have to live for a long time."
"How do you want to live for a long time? Is it now, without a name or surname, bleak, and living a life of silence?"
"still--"
Xiao Xun's voice paused, and a cup of tea was handed to Chu Lan.
"With me step on the ladder to the sky, go to the gate of heaven together."
Step on the ladder together?
Together, go to the gate of heaven?
Chu Lan looked up at Xiao Xun.
He didn't understand, his heart pounded.
