The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yusheng smiled bleakly, "I'm glad you think so."

He pushed Xiao Yurong's shoulder and pushed him towards the door, "Go quickly, don't stay here for long."

"Third brother!" Xiao Yurong turned around, "Xiao Yusheng! Can you tell me the truth?"

Xiao Yusheng stood there stiffly.

"If you don't wish me well and don't have any brotherhood in your heart, why bother leaving a way out for me everywhere?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Seeing Xiao Yusheng avoiding her gaze, she pressed on, "You have no intention of taking the throne, so why bother fighting with a prince who has lived in the East Palace for a long time and has established his authority? You clearly know that you will most likely not win!"

"Why would I want to compete with Big Brother?" Xiao Yusheng's evasive posture seemed a little embarrassed, but he laughed after hearing what Xiao Yurong said.

"I'm just a whetstone used by father to sharpen elder brother, ha! Hahaha!" He covered his face and laughed miserably.

Xiao Yurong heard from Huo Zhao and Yi Yan that Emperor Xiao did that just to make Xiao Yuxie and Xiao Yusheng fight with each other, because this was a world of great contention.

A crown prince who has never been in trouble is always more risky than a crown prince who has fought his way out of a bloody battle.

Maybe there are some suspicions, but more or less, no one knows.

"Father...why is this so?" Xiao Yuxie opened his mouth and asked hesitantly.

Although she seemed to vaguely know the answer.

"Sister, among all the children of the emperor, he loves you the most. The second is my fifth brother." Xiao Yusheng put down his hand, his expression still bitter, "My eldest brother is his designated heir, because he is the first child. And I am just a grinding stone."

He raised his face and said, "Do you think I want to fight? Rongrong, I was forced to take this path. How could Big Brother be willing to let me go in the future?"

"How do you know that big brother won't let you go?" Xiao Yurong was actually not very sure himself and felt that Xiao Yuxie would be too soft-hearted.

Xiao Yusheng shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, and he sat on the chair as if he had lost his strength. "Big brother doted on you too much, so you forgot what kind of person he was. You did the same to our father."

"They are all emperors, Rongrong. You must remember that they are emperors first, and then your father and brother." Xiao Yusheng smiled bitterly.

Xiao Yurong was speechless, looking at Xiao Yusheng, unable to utter a word.

"He used me, supported me, used me to sharpen my elder brother and arouse his fierce nature." Xiao Yusheng said, "He then used my elder brother and the prince's followers to eliminate my power and pave the way for my elder brother and future generations. Father is such a good man. Don't think he is really a kind father. He is just being kind to you."

"Rongrong, I don't want to fight, and I don't want to be emperor." He smiled miserably.

He covered his face and said, "I'm tired, I'm really tired...but everyone is pushing me forward."

His mother, his maternal family, his retainers and aides... they all pushed him to fight, but if he didn't fight, they would not have a good ending.

In the end, no one could stop.

His pale face, bloodshot eyes, trembling hands and voice made it difficult for Xiao Yurong to recognize him as the third brother he once was.

Xiao Yurong squatted in front of Xiao Yusheng and held his trembling hand, "Third brother..."

Xiao Yusheng said: "If there is an afterlife, you and I will definitely not be reborn in an imperial family. Maybe then, we can really be brothers and sisters."

Accidentally entered the heavenly home.

Xiao Yurong was not sure what kind of mood he was in when he walked out of the palace where Xiao Yusheng was imprisoned.

She just told Xiao Yusheng again and again that things would be fine and she would definitely persuade Xiao Yuxie to change his mind.

But when she came in front of Xiao Yuxie, she couldn't say a word.

"Rongrong." Xiao Yuxie raised his hand and wanted to touch her cheek.

She subconsciously turned her face away.

"Are you afraid of me?" Xiao Yuxie's eyes darkened and he clenched his fingertips in mid-air.

He said, "You and I are brothers and sisters, we are related by blood and have walked together till now. But now that I have ascended the throne, you are afraid of me?"

Xiao Yurong closed his eyes and said, "Brother, I am about to go to war."

"I know." Xiao Yuxie said, "That's why I don't want you to have any grudges against me before you leave."

"I only ask one thing from you, don't kill my third and fourth brothers, and don't treat them harshly. When I come back, I want to see them doing well." Xiao Yurong said.

"You are just taking advantage of the fact that I dare not reject you at this time, and taking advantage of the fact that I cannot bear to leave you." Xiao Yuxi stared at her steadily.

Xiao Yurong smiled and said, "Brother, they are also my brothers."

Xiao Yuxie suddenly clenched his palms, "Forget it, I promise you."

Xiao Yurong finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Xiao Yuxie, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His Majesty?

Xiao Yuxie turned around and looked at Xiao Yurong's back as he left, his palms aching from being clenched.

Are they going to be separated from each other just because of those irrelevant people?

Xiao Yurong walked out into the sun, exhausted.

"Let's go," she said.

Emperor Zhaoyang's carriage started.

Xiao Yurong closed his eyes to rest, when suddenly the carriage stopped and there was a commotion outside.

No matter how hard Xiao Yuxun tried to hurry, he was still a long way off. The previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. He, the once one-eyed second prince and now a prince, seemed quite embarrassed.

But he already had a fiefdom and had always been away from home, so he did not participate in the fight for the throne, which is how he escaped disaster.

Now that Xiao Yuxie has succeeded to the throne, Xiao Yurong is the new emperor's sister, and they share the same honor and disgrace. Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Yucheng are under house arrest.

Among the princes, only the young boy Xiao Yuyuan was still safe.

Xiao Yuxun went to the capital at this time not only to maintain his filial piety on the surface and to see Emperor Xiao off for the last time, but also to show his loyalty to the new emperor - his elder brother, with whom he had a considerable grudge.

Of course, it is all false to say that he loves poetry and literature and doesn't care about state affairs.

What he loved was the art of war and he had his own private army, but the number was limited. Emperor Xiao felt guilty about him, so he turned a blind eye and let it go.

The new emperor today may not necessarily tolerate him raising private soldiers.

It's not that Xiao Yuxun had never thought about rebellion, but the time was not right yet.

In his current state, it is impossible for him to devote himself to Xiao Yuxie until his death.

But he is also a descendant of the Xiao family, and he is willing to protect the Xiao family's world.

Loyalty is there, but not much. Ambitions are there, but they are kept to themselves.

Before he came to Beijing, Xiao Yurong had defined him to his staff.

Xiao Yuxun, wearing armor and leading a team of personal soldiers, blocked the way in front of the luxurious carriage.

The sunlight illuminated the golden splendor of this solemn palace, and the Vermilion Bird on top of the chariot sparkled brightly.

The smile on Xiao Yuxun's lips deepened. The only person who could use this kind of carriage in the palace, who could come and go freely, and who had the Xiao family logo on it, was the one he thought about.

Sure enough, a hand lifted the curtain, the hand was as soft as a catkin and the skin was as smooth as cream.

The gorgeous face appeared, the woman's eyes were slightly rosy, her cheeks were red, and her lips were crimson, as gorgeous as a peony.

The floating green and flowing red, the cheeks are inferior to the flowers and the waist is inferior to the willows.

Looking at that face, a smile slowly spread across Xiao Yuxun's face. The black eye mask on his handsome face looked grim in the bright sunlight.

He said, "Long time no see, sister."

Xiao Yurong stared at him for a long while, as if trying to discern something from his face.

After a long while, Xiao Yurong finally smiled: "I haven't seen you for several years. I hope you are well, second brother."

It's different, it's become different...

This realization made Xiao Yuxun excited. The blood in his body seemed to boil and burn, and the old wound where his eyeball had been removed began to ache.

Although he knew all these years and the intelligence he had gathered along the way, his good sister had been acting unusually in recent years.

He opened a girls' school, appointed female officials, took control of the Fuyang Guard, and led the army to quell the rebellion of King Wen.

Oh, there is one more - the merit of following the dragon.

Over the years, the friendship between brother and sister Xiao Yuxie and Xiao Yurong has remained as strong as it was back then, and they still support and depend on each other.

Xiao Yuxun snorted in his heart, but said it as if it was a joke: "I say, Fifth Sister, the friendship between you and His Majesty is so touching that it can move the heavens and the earth. As expected, even the third and fourth brothers put together are not as good as your good eldest brother."

Xiao Yurong became annoyed when this was mentioned.

Xiao Yurong lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a soft but lonely shadow, "If Second Brother has any ideas, why not try to persuade Big Brother?"

She paused for a moment and said, "Forget it. Big brother gets angry when I mention him. Second brother should not offend big brother."

"The Xiao family still has too few children." She smiled as if mocking herself.

Xiao Yuxun was stunned.

"I will be leaving Yujing soon to attack the Wu family. If you want to stay and support the new king and safeguard the Xiao family's responsibility to rule the world, I will trouble you a lot." Xiao Yurong said.

Xiao Yuxun looked at Xiao Yurong, trying to find a trace of falsehood and resentment on her face.

But to his disappointment, there was nothing.

Xiao Yurong seemed to have really let go of what happened in the past and said these words to him sincerely.

He originally thought that the grudge between him and Xiao Yurong was complete and utter. After all, it was Xiao Yurong who caused him to become one-eyed, and he also caused Xiao Yurong to fall ill in bed for a long time, so the root of the disease was completely established.

"Although there are rifts between you and me, we are still blood relatives." Xiao Yurong closed his eyes and sighed, "The Xiao family's world..."

She opened her eyes, "I was wrong when I was young, and my second brother was also wrong. Until the chaos outside is settled, you and I should let it go for now."

Xiao Yuxun: "..."

He suddenly forced a smile, "You mean, forget it? Is an apology useful?"

"If my second brother hadn't said bad things and insulted my mother and brother, why would I have done that? You don't think you're a good person, do you?" Xiao Yurong said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm happy dragging this half-dead body?"

“Hahahahaha!” Xiao Yuxun laughed instead, “That makes sense.”

"You and I should continue to blame each other like this. Don't worry, I am still a descendant of the Xiao family. When you are not around, I will do what I should do." He led his men, bypassed Xiao Yurong's carriage, and walked towards Xiao Yuxie's imperial study.

He said casually, "I still need to express my opinion to our Majesty. I won't bother my sister any more."

Xiao Yurong sat back, pinched his brows, and felt a worse headache.

After returning to the mansion, Xiao Yurong discussed state affairs with his staff.

After adding several candle lights, Xiao Yurong finally made up his mind.

On the day of departure, Xiao Yuxie saw him off outside the city gate.

It was just daybreak when Xiao Yurong walked out the door and saw Huo Zhao standing alone in the morning mist.

He was tall and handsome, with a steady and resolute expression, as still as a mountain.

Xiao Yurong paused, "Uncle?"

Huo Zhao said, "I will go with you."

"Stop it, uncle." Xiao Yurong said helplessly, "If you leave, who will stay in Yujing?"

Huo Zhao said: "There are still some imperial troops left in Yujing. Besides, if I go with you, the Huo family army will stay and it won't be a problem."

"Yes, I will feel more at ease if my uncle goes with you." Xiao Yuxie nodded, "Besides, it's okay for my second brother to stay as well."

Xiao Yurong was silent for a moment, and his gaze moved to Xiao Yuxun who was behind Xiao Yuxie.

I really don't know what they talked about yesterday, but now they really seem to be very friendly and respectful to each other.

Xiao Yuxun grinned at Xiao Yurong, but it was eerie.

Xiao Yurong took another look at the two brothers Gongsun Qin and Gongsun Zhao, as well as Yu Shu who stayed behind.

She gave a few more instructions, and Yu Shu's eyes were filled with tears. Xiao Yurong scolded her in a helpless manner.

Wang Fuxuan also came, and Xiao Yurong asked him a few questions with a smile.

"The money for this expedition..." Wang Fuxuan frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, "If you come back alive, I will pay it."

Xiao Yurong was stunned for a moment. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Wang Fuxuan to really agree.

Wang Fuxuan saw her surprised expression and turned his head slightly, "If you don't want it, then forget it."

"Why not? I want it, of course I want it." Xiao Yurong was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she responded quickly.

Wang Fuxuan's expression relaxed a little, "After you leave, I will also go back to Chuyuan in a few days."

"Going back to your family? What for?" Xiao Yurong was surprised. Wang Fuxuan hadn't been back for several years.

She raised her hand and quickly pinched Wang Fuxuan's face, "Brother, you have a disability, why do you always want to run around?"

Wang Fuxuan's face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because he was pinched or because he was angry.

He glared at Xiao Yurong, giving a warning, "Xiao Yurong."

Xiao Yurong put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Oh."

"I haven't been home for so long, it's time to go back and take a look," said Wang Fuxuan.

He has been putting it off for a long time. He should have gone to see it long ago.

He paused and added, "When you come back, I should come back too."

"I'm not sure if I can come back yet." Xiao Yurong joked self-deprecatingly.

Wang Fuxuan grabbed her hand and said, "You know I don't like to hear this."

"Okay." Xiao Yurong bent down and patted Wang Fuxuan's knee. "The two of us, one is sick and the other is lame, it's really funny."

Wang Fuxuan clenched his hands on his knees, "I heard that the imperial physician came into the princess's mansion again two days ago."

Xiao Yurong laughed and said, "Oh, the Marquis of Huailing is really well-informed."

"The conditions in the army are not that good. You have to take medicine on time. If you are sick, you should take medicine." Wang Fuxuan said, "Don't be lazy because you think the medicine is too much and bitter."

Xiao Yurong spread his hands, "I am sick recently, and I was lazy in the past."
