King Xin remained silent, but King Wu could not wait any longer.

"Second Brother, what else do you have to worry about?"

He can solve anything as long as Prince Xin speaks up!

He urgently needs help.

Prince Xin was highly respected both at the border, in the army, and among the common people.

He currently has too little support and military power around him.

Without military power, how can I compete with Prince Rui?

Prince Xin pursed his lips, then forced a perfunctory smile, devoid of genuine emotion: "Fourth Prince, do you hate your eldest brother?"

The King of Wu's gaze flickered for a moment, then he looked at the King of Xin with a righteous air: "Don't you hate him?"

"I was beaten by my elder brother when I was young, and when I grew up, my father passed the throne to my elder brother."

"My brother is in the capital, but he has sent you to the frontier."

"You really don't have any ideas at all?"

Prince Xin frankly replied, "I am different from you."

"Yes, of course you are different from me." King Wu raised his chin smugly. "I am capable, and my father favors me."

King Xin: "..."

My hands are itching; I want to punch someone!

Where did the fourth brother get the audacity to say such a thing?

Is it because the Emperor favors him?

If none of the brothers wanted to sit in that position, what would the fourth brother have to do with it?

"You hate your elder brother." This time, Prince Xin was very certain, without the slightest doubt.

The King of Wu paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it abnormal for me to hate him?"

"What do you hate about your elder brother?" Prince Xin asked, puzzled. "Just because Father Emperor made him Crown Prince?"

"Not only that!" King Wu said coldly, "He has treated me differently since I was a child."

Prince Xin asked in surprise, "Huh?"

"He brings you food and toys, but he never brings me anything," King Wu recounted King Rui's faults.

Prince Xin tried hard to recall: "How could this be?"

"The people around my elder brother brought over food boxes and distributed them to everyone; no one was ever left out."

"That's not what I meant!" King Wu gritted his teeth angrily.

"When he sees you alone on the street, he always pulls out candies, preserves, or other snacks from his pocket. He's never given me any of those!"

King Xin: "..."

Yes, my older brother did have this habit when we were kids.

only……

"Would your elder brother dare to give it to you?" Prince Xin asked. "I remember the first time your elder brother gave you a packet of candied fruit, you fell seriously ill that very day, and your mother made a scene before the Emperor."

"The cause of your illness is the food your older brother gave you."

"They said it was a cold-natured food, and you were young, so you almost died after eating it."

"Your father stayed with you all night until dawn. Once your condition stabilized, he quickly washed up and went to court without even resting."

"In the following days, everyone in the palace went to visit you."

"The Empress Dowager also hit my eldest brother, and he apologized to you."

The King of Wu said in a deep voice, "Isn't that what I should do? I almost lost my life."

Prince Xin smiled but said nothing.

How cold can a bag of candied fruit be?

Moreover, his older brother carried it with him, intending to give it to his younger siblings at any time.

The King of Wu's mother was merely using the fourth prince to vie for favor and to attract the emperor's attention and affection.

It must be said, she did it.

The Emperor has indeed noticed the Fourth Prince and his mother, and knows what they are thinking.

His mother reminded him to stay away from the fourth prince as much as possible in the future, as the fourth prince and his mother were cunning and scheming.

If even his mother could see it, how could his father and mother not know?

"If it were just this one thing, I wouldn't hold a grudge," King Wu said, considering himself magnanimous.

"When my elder brother meets other brothers, he will teach and guide them, but he never cares about me."

"I can be indifferent even if I almost lose my life, but I can't remain unmoved when my heart is broken."

"Second brother, do you know? My heart has only grown cold because you've wounded it bit by bit like this!"

The King of Wu was so agitated that his vision became blurry.

He blinked hard, forcing back the tears welling up in his eyes.

King Xin was completely stunned when he saw the grief-stricken King Wu before him.

He had always thought his eldest brother was shameless enough, but now that he saw his fourth brother, he realized how upright and virtuous his eldest brother was!

The eldest brother is even instructing the fourth brother?

What was the result after the eldest brother reprimanded the fourth brother?

It was the fourth brother who fought the eldest brother to the death!

With the eldest brother's abilities, the fourth brother naturally couldn't beat him.

At first, the eldest brother completely suppressed the fourth brother, but when the eldest brother realized that the fourth brother was really determined to fight to the death, he let go of him and tried to avoid him.

Little did he expect that the fourth brother would chase after him, attacking him haphazardly without any strategy, determined to kill his eldest brother.

If the eldest brother hadn't raised his hand to block it, the fourth brother would have bitten his neck instead of his arm.

Even in this situation, the guards were alerted, and the eldest brother was bitten while the fourth brother was being held back from behind.

He was running this way from a distance at that time.

He saw the whole process clearly.

He has never forgotten the look in the fourth brother's eyes back then, all these years later.

It was like a wild beast that had gone mad and lost its mind, bright red.

He had seen similar looks on the battlefield—the eyes of soldiers driven to the brink of despair, ready to die alongside their enemy.

The problem was that the fourth brother was facing their eldest brother at the time.

The eldest brother scolded the fourth brother, entirely because the fourth brother hadn't done things properly.

The eldest brother was teaching the fourth brother.

In the fourth brother's view, this meant it had to be a fight to the death.

How could the eldest brother possibly teach the fourth brother in the future?

King Xin would not tell King Wu about these thoughts.

Because he knew that prejudice was prejudice, and the King of Wu would not listen.

"Father has hired the best teachers for us. They know more than my elder brother. Why do you insist on having my elder brother teach you?" Prince Xin asked, puzzled.

"How can that be the same?" King Wu frowned. "He is my elder brother!"

The Prince of Xin understood.

That's right. The fourth brother can be unkind to others, but others must treat him well, otherwise they're letting him down.

Prince Xin really wanted to kneel down and kowtow to his eldest niece.

Fortunately, my eldest niece came back.

Otherwise, if they let this thing sit in that position, none of them will be okay!

It would be a miracle if the Great Rui Kingdom didn't perish!

Prince Xin smiled slightly: "It's getting late, Father Emperor will be here soon, let's go inside first."

The King of Wu asked, displeased, "Second brother, what is your answer?"

Prince Xin chuckled and said, "Fourth Prince, it's better for that position to be held by the most capable person."

As soon as he said this, the King of Wu's face darkened: "Second brother, do you think I'm incompetent?"

Prince Xin sighed inwardly.

The fourth brother is both insecure and arrogant; he'll never amount to anything.

King Xin was unwilling to talk further and left directly, bypassing King Wu.

King Wu stared at King Xin's retreating figure, a fierce rage burning in his eyes.

Does Prince Xin support Prince Rui?

Alright, then he'll show Prince Xin just how despicable Prince Rui is in a little while!

No matter how capable Prince Rui is, does a prince who is wicked and oppresses the people deserve to sit in that position?
