The fourth prince was stunned. He can do it too. He looked at Xuan Du and asked, "Aren't you here to see you off?"
Xuandu said: "Father, there is no room for disgrace in his eyes. Even if the eldest prince and the third prince die innocently, he will not let you go. After all, in his heart, your son is a shame."
The fourth prince's face was very calm. He knew that what Xuan Du said was true. He had lived like an ant for so many years.
He once longed for his father's favor, but he only had other brothers and sisters in his eyes, and would never look at him.
Disappointment again and again made him give up.
The fourth prince stopped what he was doing and asked Xuan Du, "So?"
Xuan Du placed the porcelain bottle in front of him and said, "This is a fake death medicine. You can wake up twelve hours after taking it.
If you believe me, you will obey it, and I will send you out of the royal court and let you live under a different identity."
The fourth prince was a little surprised: "Why?"
He didn't understand why Xuan Du wanted to save him? After all, he had never been kind to him.
Xuan Du raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "After the regent has captured Mobei, Mobei needs someone to guard it. I think you are very suitable."
The fourth prince frowned: "You want me to guard Mobei? Aren't you afraid? If I gain power and support myself with troops, aren't you afraid of raising tigers and causing trouble?"
Xuandu smiled: "Can you do it?"
This question stopped the fourth prince, who looked a little confused.
Xuandu asked him: "Why do you want to get the throne? Is it to take revenge on your father?"
"no."
The fourth prince looked seriously and said: "I want to change Mobei."
He wants to give hope to those who live like ants so that they can be treated fairly.
He lowered his eyes and whispered: "Do you know how my mother died?"
When the fourth prince thought of his mother, his eyes were full of sorrow: "She is a very determined woman. Even though she comes from a humble background, she is still optimistic and cheerful and works hard to live.
However, her innocence was ruined by her father's drunken behavior, but because of her mother's background, he was not even willing to give her a title.
In this way, my mother had me. Even though I was unknown and unloved by my father, she never thought of giving up on me.
When I was a child, we lived in the simplest place in the royal court. Although life was hard, we were very happy. My mother was clever and would make many interesting things for me.
But my superior brothers and brothers refused to let me go.
When I was six years old, all my brothers and sisters received foals as gifts from their father, but I was the only one who did not.
After my mother found out, she spent seven days and nights using the messy wool to make a pony for me. Although I couldn't ride it, I liked it very much.
But the third brother ruined it. He sheared my foal into wool and called me a slave.
I beat him, but my father wanted to deal with me regardless of the consequences. My mother came to save me, but she knelt in front of my father and broke her head.
Finally, my father said a word, and then my mother died in front of me."
When the fourth prince mentioned this past event, his eyes were filled with mist. He blinked to dispel the blur in his eyes and said with a smile: "My father said that I can recognize him as his son, but he cannot have a mother.
My mother gave up her life so that I could become a prince like others, but I became a prince and could never regain the happiness I once had.
If possible, I would rather be just an ordinary person, living the simplest life with my mother, even if I can only hold a wool foal for the rest of my life."
After hearing what he said, Xuandu felt a little emotional in his heart. He said: "So, I chose you right. Don't you want to change Mobei? Then go ahead and don't let your mother down."
