Qi Jingsheng was silent for a moment, then said sincerely, "Father, your uncle could exhaust you with court affairs."

Prince Xin was stunned for a moment, then vigorously wiped his face: "This is the kind of thing your uncle would do."

The reasons are perfectly legitimate, but in reality, it's revenge driven by selfish motives!

Princess Xin covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled, "Alright, why do you have to snatch Yu'er home?"

"We can visit Yu'er. If you miss Yu'er, you can go and see her."

"How can they be the same?" Prince Xin said, heartbroken.

Such a lovely daughter, and he felt uneasy whenever he thought about it not being his own.

"Daughter, don't you also want to have such a good older sister?" Prince Xin looked down at his soft little girl.

Qi Jingxian blinked her big, watery eyes twice: "I want my older sister to be with me."

Qi Jingsheng felt a little jealous: "Can't I keep you company?"

"I want to bathe with my sister, whisper secrets together, and put on makeup, dress up, and wear jewelry together," Qi Jingxian said, gazing longingly at Qi Jingsheng.

Qi Jingsheng: "..."

Sorry to bother you!

He can't do it!

"You..." Princess Xin sighed helplessly, "You should think about it differently."

Prince Xin looked at his wife in confusion: "How do we change them?"

"Yu'er has already come of age. Many girls who have reached this age get married. Just treat her like your own daughter getting married. She'll be at Prince Rui's residence, won't that be fine?" Princess Xin comforted him.

"You, as her father, miss your daughter so much that you visit her at Prince Rui's residence every now and then... Doesn't that make you feel much better?"

Prince Xin stared in astonishment, then burst into ecstatic joy: "That's right!"

"If Yu'er finds such a good husband, I can rest assured."

"I have to say, thinking about it this way, I really feel better."

Prince Xin patted his chest, finally regaining his composure.

Princess Xin chuckled, "Go inside. My elder brother and the others have been inside for quite a while now."

Prince Xin was about to nod when he suddenly stopped and said, "Take the children inside first."

Princess Xin turned her head and saw Prince Wu walking over with Princess Wu, Qi Jinghong and Qi Jinglin.

Qi Jinglin?

A faint smile appeared in Princess Xin's eyes. The King of Wu had truly begun to groom this illegitimate son.

Unfortunately, this illegitimate son was nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the King of Wu.

If the King of Wu truly cherished this child and wanted to support him, he shouldn't have exposed him to the public so early.

Princess Xin immediately understood that the King of Wu intended to use Qi Jinglin to provoke Qi Jinghong.

For that position... he was willing to abandon and exploit his own flesh and blood without hesitation.

The King of Wu's ruthlessness was indeed befitting of an emperor, but unfortunately, he lacked composure and shrewdness.

The King of Wu arrived with his family, and the two sides exchanged greetings.

Princess Xin chatted warmly with Princess Wu as they walked inside.

As for King Xin, he was stopped by King Wu.

King Xin looked at King Wu without any surprise.

"Second brother, you have been at the border for many years. Now that you have returned, what are your plans?" King Wu asked.

Prince Xin simply said, "I'll go home and retire."

King Wu choked on his words: "Second brother, are you really willing to give up your merits in guarding the border and just go home to be a leisurely prince?"

Prince Xin frowned slightly and sighed regretfully.

His achievements won't even bring him a peaceful life in the future; he's truly unlucky.

His father remained on the throne, which made his life a little easier.

Later, when his elder brother became the crown prince and ascended the throne... he could foresee his own tragic future.

His older brother is ruthless when it comes to using people.

King Wu watched as the expression on King Xin's face kept changing, and he secretly felt smug.

He knew it.

No one can resist power.

"Second brother, as long as you support me, I will guarantee you wealth and honor in the future!" King Wu said these words with a firm and powerful tone.

King Xin looked at King Wu in shock.

What exactly happened during the years he was away from Beijing?

Has the fourth brother's brain been eaten by a dog?

When he left the capital, the fourth prince was still the crown prince. At that time, the fourth prince was quite methodical in handling affairs.

Otherwise, even if the eldest brother had yielded and chosen the fourth brother, he wouldn't have accepted it so calmly.

The question is... what exactly happened to the fourth brother?

Listen to what the fourth brother is saying. Is that even human language?

Could it be that it's really the strange power of the elder brother that can only be hinted at but not spoken of that's causing the trouble?

"Don't worry, I mean what I say!" King Wu thought King Xin was just too surprised to listen, which was why he was stunned.

Prince Xin took a deep breath and revealed a gentle smile: "Fourth Prince, my current wealth and status... are insufficient?"

The King of Wu choked, but still stubbornly insisted, "That's different."

"Once I'm in that position, I can further enhance your power."

Prince Xin continued, "And then you have a reason to settle scores with me and wipe out my whole family, right?"

The King of Wu frowned, his eyes filled with hurt: "Second brother, how could you think of me like that?"

Prince Xin scoffed: "I know exactly what kind of power a prince should have."

After King Xin finished speaking, he was about to leave when King Wu stepped forward and blocked his way.

Prince Xin frowned: "What exactly do you want?"

"Second brother, you also dislike your elder brother, don't you?" King Wu said with certainty.

Prince Xin asked in surprise, "Why would I hate my elder brother?"

"Second brother, have you forgotten the time when you were beaten by your elder brother when you were a child?" King Wu raised his chin and proudly brought up the matter from his childhood.

King Xin: "..."

He looked at the King of Wu with a resentful expression.

Look at what the fourth brother is saying. What do you mean by saying that the eldest brother beat him when he was a kid?

It's like he's saying his older brother won't hit him now.

He didn't even need to think about it, nor did he have any doubts. Even if they were in their seventies or eighties, his brother could still beat him up if he wanted to!

King Xin's silence gave King Wu a lot of confidence.

"My elder brother was domineering even when he was young. He would either hit people or scold them." The King of Wu spoke of the past with a burning hatred in his eyes.

"You are all too weak, and you are bullied by your elder brother."

"Indeed, Your Majesty is the eldest son of the legitimate wife and the Empress's son, and Father dotes on him greatly. It's normal that you dare not rebel."

At this point, King Xin couldn't help but laugh: "Fourth brother, I remember my eldest brother scolded you once."

"Your reaction was very intense; you even fought with your older brother and bit him."

"From then on, your older brother never scolded you again."

The King of Wu puffed out his chest proudly: "That's right."

"From a young age, I have never been afraid of those in power."

"It's impossible for my royal brother to use his status to bully me."

"Second brother, don't worry, I hate people who use their power to oppress others the most."

"If I were to come to power, I would certainly not mistreat my own brothers."

Prince Xin just smiled, and his smile deepened as he thought of Qi Jinglin, who had just been walking beside Qi Jinghong.

If they treat their own flesh and blood this way, what about their so-called brothers and sisters?

If the fourth brother really wanted to scheme and win people over, he should at least put on a good show.

Does he really think everyone else is as stupid as him?
