This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 645
Southern Chu.

Flowing Cloud City.

In the residence of the eldest prince Mu Xiyun, the study room is brightly lit.

Mu Xiyun sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, and the eighth prince sat below him, his expression extremely ugly.

After a long time, the Eighth Prince slammed the table and looked at Mu Xiyun and asked, "Brother Emperor, what do you mean by Emperor Father? The third and ninth were killed by the sixth. Now it's a desperate escape, now the prince in this floating cloud city, besides you and me, only the fifth and the eleventh are left, the fifth has a disabled leg and foot, and he has long missed the position of prince. Little Eleven is only eight years old this year. It is impossible for these two people to be considered by the emperor. I stood by your side early again. It stands to reason that you should have been named the prince long ago, but the emperor What is he thinking if he has not made an order for a long time?"

After hearing so much from him, Mu Xiyun's face became even more gloomy.

Today in the Southern Chu court, those officials attached to Mu Xiyun once again asked the emperor of Southern Chu to be the crown prince. The reason was naturally that the establishment of the crown prince was equivalent to stabilizing the foundation of Southern Chu. Naturally, they did not want to No one would be that stupid to directly support Mu Xiyun as the crown prince.

Anyway, this is the situation in Floating Cloud City now, the adult princes are only Mu Xiyun and Lao Ba, and Lao Ba is Mu Xiyun's person, if the emperor of Nanchu really wants to register as a prince, then besides Mu Xiyun who?

It's just that the emperor of Nanchu rejected their proposal without even thinking about it. He didn't give a reason, but simply said that this matter will be discussed later and then ordered to retreat.

At that moment, Mu Xiyun's face turned dark.

He is the son of the current empress, and he is the eldest son. Logically speaking, he should have been canonized as the crown prince a few years ago, but the emperor of Nanchu has not moved for a long time. At first, Mu Xiyun thought that Nanchu The emperor is examining the abilities of the princes, so he has always treated everyone with a gentle face these years.

But now that the other princes are running away to death, the ministers have proposed several times but they are all rejected by him. This made Mu Xiyun subconsciously think of many things.

Even at a certain moment, he felt that he was the most pathetic eldest son of the royal family in all dynasties.

Seeing that Mu Xiyun did not speak, the Eighth Prince continued to complain: "Father's health is getting worse day by day. According to the imperial physician in the palace, Father has vomited blood ten times in the past four days, and Sometimes he can't stand still, his body is so serious and he still doesn't want to be a crown prince, what on earth is he thinking, maybe one day he will..."

As soon as the eighth prince said this, Mu Xiyun suddenly turned her head and glared at him, saying, "Eighth brother, speak carefully!"

The eighth prince reacted instantly after his reminder, his face turned pale at first, and then he said angrily: "I'm not disrespecting my father, I'm just worried about his body."

What kind of person is the emperor of Nanchu? Those who are sons naturally understand. To be honest, in their hearts, they fear the emperor of Nanchu far more than they respect him. Uncertainty, moodiness, and disorganized attitudes are enough to scare them.

I only heard Mu Xiyun sighed, and said: "Father's thoughts are not something you and I can guess, who knows what he is thinking, nothing else, just talking about the sixth child, what do you think?" Is there anything tricky about the fact that he escaped from Floating Cloud City safe and sound?"

The Eighth Prince was taken aback for a moment, and then whispered: "You mean that Father let him go on purpose?"

Mu Xiyun sighed, and said: "Do you think he could have escaped if it wasn't for the emperor's intention? This is Floating Cloud City, and the person who chased him back then was the great general Sima Zongheng! How could it be possible to escape under such circumstances. Now that the father has not registered a crown prince, I am afraid that he is considering the situation of the sixth child!"

"You mean the sixth child will come back?"

"He will definitely come back, and not only that, I feel that I deliberately designed the third child to attack the sixth child and forced the sixth child to fight back helplessly. The emperor also knew about it."

"Impossible, we did it so secretly." The Eighth Prince turned pale when he heard this.

Mu Xiyun sighed again, and said: "It's still the same sentence, this is Floating Cloud City, and it's too easy to investigate one thing clearly with Father's methods."

"But if Father knew about this, why didn't he take you down?"

Mu Xiyun suddenly got up and walked to the window, and said in a deep tone: "The queen mother once told me that among the many princes, only the sixth son is the most like him, so although I have been close to him on the surface these years, I have never seen him. I have never dared to underestimate him, and the empress mother also said that the father is a man with a vicious mind and vicious methods, and the saying that a tiger does not eat its own son cannot be applied to him at all."

After saying this, Mu Xiyun suddenly turned to look at the Eighth Prince and said, "I already have a vague guess in my heart."

"What guess?"

"Father is afraid that he has been waiting for the sixth son to come back."

"What?" The eighth prince was shocked!

"Lao San attacked Lao Liu at the beginning. Thinking about it, Lao Liu should have guessed that I designed it. As long as he comes back, he will definitely come to trouble me. I guess the father wants to see if it is me. Find Lao Liu first, or Lao Liu will kill me first. If Lao Liu dies in my hands, then the world of Nanchu will naturally be mine, but if I die in Lao Liu's hands first."

He didn't finish what he said next, but the Eighth Prince naturally understood what he meant.

"You mean that father wants to watch you two fight to the death, and the winner will be the future emperor of Nanchu?" The eighth prince's face was pale at this time.

Mu Xiyun nodded heavily: "Do you still remember what my father said to us? The heavenly family has no relatives! He said these four words to every prince."

The Eighth Prince couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the smile on the face of Emperor Nanchu when he said these four words to him.

I saw him forced a smile, and comforted himself: "I think you are overthinking, brother. If, I mean, if the sixth son comes back, he will win you, but after all, he has several princes on his back." Life, how should the father hand over the world to him? How could those civil and military officials agree?"

Mu Xiyun turned around and looked at him calmly, and said: "Don't agree? Then kill them! They will always be scared and shut up! There are prime ministers and generals who unconditionally support father, so father dare not do anything ?”

"Father really dare to hide this endless infamy from the world?"

Mu Xiyun sneered, and said, "You have to know that history books are always written by the victors."

The eighth prince is really a little timid now. At this moment, he even wonders if he shouldn't be involved in this fight for the heir apparent?Compared with these people, isn't he a little too simple?

After a long time, his mood relaxed a little, and he forced a smile again: "Okay, brother, in fact, you really don't need to think so much, the sixth child was already seriously injured when he escaped from Floating Cloud City, so I haven't heard from him for a long time, maybe he died outside long ago."

"It's impossible for a person like him to die outside."

Mu Xiyun paused after saying this, and then continued: "And I have a feeling that he seems to have returned."

The room was quiet for a long time, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Dahuang guessed right, I have indeed returned."
