Xuandu was noncommittal. Among the sons of King Mobei, only this seemingly weak and insignificant fourth prince had real abilities.
He had endured for many years and planned painstakingly, but in the end he failed.
King Mobei looked at the fourth prince and asked angrily: "Why? Why do you do this?"
"Why?"
The fourth prince's mood changed, and he sneered with a chill in his eyes: "With so many sons, have you ever looked at me?
You don't like me just because my mother was born of a humble birth, but if you hadn't tainted her with your lust and desire, how could she have given birth to such evil as me?
If you don't like me, why didn't you strangle me to death when I was born? Why did you let me live?
You let me live, but you didn't give me the justice I deserved. When I was young, all my brothers and sisters could bully me, but you turned a blind eye.
From that time on, I swore that one day I would kill them all!"
King Mobei was shocked. He looked at the fourth prince, but he couldn't remember what he was like when he was a child.
Among his sons, only the fourth's mother was from the lowest background.
When he was drunk, he somehow favored a slave. In Mobei, slaves were the lowest.
And the children born of slaves are naturally not much nobler, even if they are of his blood.
He really had no care or love for this son and left him to fend for himself.
Because he felt that it was his shame.
But such a seemingly weak and incompetent son stabbed him so hard that he almost made a big mistake.
King Mobei held his hands tightly and felt the blood in his chest boiling. After a long time, he said: "Arrest the fourth prince!"
The guards stepped forward and captured the fourth prince easily.
The fourth prince did not resist, he just said: "This guard is acting under my orders, and I ask my father to forgive him.
Furthermore, he killed Lao San just to avenge his sister. His sister was raped and humiliated by Lao San when she was still young, and she committed suicide out of shame and anger.
But he wanted to seek justice for his sister but had no way, so he had the idea of assassinating Lao San, but failed, so I took him in, changed his identity, and let him get close to Lao San.
Speaking of which, this matter is also your fault, father. You knew the nature of the third brother, but you allowed him to act. Do you know how many innocent girls he has harmed?
The people of Mobei have been extremely disappointed with our Royal Court. Even if the Central Plains does not attack us, sooner or later the people will rebel against the Royal Court, and all of this is because of you!"
King Mobei was shocked after hearing what he said. He looked at his son with wide eyes and said, "The third child deserves to die, but what about the eldest brother?"
"Oh."
The fourth prince sneered: "Do you think my eldest brother is clean? None of your sons is clean.
And the eldest brother deserves to die more than the third brother. If you don’t believe it, go to his fief and see what filth is hidden there. I’m afraid that telling you will dirty your ears.”
King Mobei frowned, turned to Xuandu and said, "Take someone to take a look."
Xuan Du nodded and immediately led people to the eldest prince's fief.
The princes of Mobei all have their own fiefs as their residence after leaving the royal court.
After the fourth prince was taken away, King Mobei said to Xiao Chengyi with a tired look on his face: "Thanks to the regent for what happened today."
Xiao Chengyi said: "I am helping Prince Lan Du to clear my grievances. Your Majesty, there is no need to say thank you."
