The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

The fifth prince is now twelve years old and has grown into a little boy. He rarely looks so embarrassed in front of others.

The last time I felt this sad was when I found out I was almost poisoned to death.

The fifth prince could not shed tears and could only sob and howl. Xie Rong seemed to be touched by the fifth prince's words.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the medicine that was brought to his mouth.

When the Fifth Prince saw that Xie Rong was willing to drink the medicine, he immediately calmed down, but he still fed Xie Rong the medicine with his body twitching.

Not until the jade bowl was empty did the Fifth Prince's tense body suddenly relax.

He stood up and handed the empty bowl to Li Shunquan.

Xie Rong narrowed his eyes and looked at the Fifth Prince, who was almost as tall as his shoulders. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but when the Fifth Prince turned his head again, his expression of despair and sadness returned.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "Now, your third brother's funeral has been completed..."

After saying this, he stopped and didn't continue.

However, the emotions that the Fifth Prince had almost suppressed were showing signs of being released.

He suppressed his sobs and said, "Father, I still can't believe it. Third brother is just like this... Third brother is such a high martial arts master, and he has always been strong, how could he..."

Xie Rong's lowered eyes flashed with a strange color, but he still agreed: "I don't believe it either. No one expected Yuan'er to leave like this, but this is the fact. We can't hide forever."

"I know, I know, Father." The Fifth Prince choked out a sob, "I just can't understand why God would be so blind as to take away Third Brother's life, even though he was such a good man."

"Third brother, he fought for Dai Viet for so many years and saved so many civilians and soldiers. Aren't all these merits enough to exchange for his life?"

"Everyone says that Third Brother is aloof and difficult to approach, but that's clearly not the case. He simply doesn't like getting involved in meaningless things and doesn't want to deal with people with bad intentions."

"I still remember when I was young, I heard that Third Brother always won battles. I admired him very much and loved to pester him to tell me about his experiences on the battlefield."

"Third brother may have a cold face, but he never refuses me every time. He always patiently answers my questions."

"He's so good, why is he so unlucky? Wuwuwu~~~"

When Xie Rong saw the Fifth Prince like this, other emotions seemed to flash across his deep pupils, but quickly disappeared.

He pursed his lips tightly, patiently waiting for the Fifth Prince to calm down, then waved to him and said, "Come here."

The fifth prince sobbed and moved closer.

Xie Rong stretched out his pale hand and squeezed the Fifth Prince's now well-maintained, strong arm. He sighed and said, "Yuan'er is gone. You can't dwell on the past forever. You must move on as soon as possible."

"Since you have taken your third brother as your role model since childhood, you should know his long-cherished wish, which is to wish for the people to live in peace and stability at the border."

"Now that the Northern Frontier troops are at the gates, and you are already twelve years old, it's time for you to gradually take on your responsibilities."

"Since you are thinking of your third brother, why not take his legacy as your goal? You can complete what he left unfinished."

"But you should know that there is more than one way to achieve your goals. Not everyone needs to become a great general. But only by standing in a high position can you have the ability to change others."

"Do you understand what father said?" Xie Rong looked at the fifth prince's still somewhat childish face and said meaningfully.

The fifth prince was shocked and heard the hidden meaning in Xie Rong's words.

But this is not what he wants.

The fifth prince pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, and said vaguely, "I understand."

Xie Rong knew that the Fifth Prince's words were not sincere, but he did not try to persuade him. He only said, "I hope that one day, you will truly understand."

The fifth prince hung his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xie Rong waved his hand and said, "Alright, you've lost a lot of weight these days. You should go back first. I'm tired too and need to rest."

The fifth prince bowed and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

It was not until the fifth prince left the hall that Xie Rong frowned, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy.

Seeing this, Li Shunquan boldly said, "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is a man of great affection and true nature."

Xie Rong snorted coldly upon hearing this, "You place too much emphasis on feelings. I shouldn't have allowed him to get along with... "

Li Shunquan knew exactly who this unnamed person was, and he didn't dare to say anything else.

Just then, a young eunuch opened the door, held a letter in both hands, bent over, and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter from the border."

Upon hearing this, Xie Rong's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he no longer had the weak look he had just now. He glanced at Li Shunquan.

Li Shunquan immediately understood, took the secret letter and presented it to Xie Rong with both hands.

Xie Rong took it and slowly opened it.

No one knew what was said inside, but Xie Rong's lips curled up slowly, with a hint of ruthlessness, and his eyes were filled with excitement and enthusiasm...
