C31

That year, Xiu Heng was thirteen years old.

During this extremely normal noon, Wen Ying hurriedly returned to Mu An Palace.

That year, the Xiliang and the Jin Country met in arms due to border problems. The people at the border were in deep pain and could not even begin to speak. Xiu Heng had once requested for the Emperor of Xiliang to personally lead the charge, but he was rejected by the Emperor of Xiliang. The reason was that as a prince, Xiu Heng should not have put himself in danger.

But Xiu Heng never thought that the person he thought was the matriarch was the person who killed his own mother.

That day, Xiu Heng skipped his morning lessons and went to look for Xiu Huang secretly. However, he unintentionally heard a secret.

"Greetings to the First Prince." The palace maids' greetings startled Imperial Consort Shu, who hurriedly came out of his room with a look of love on his face. If it was in the past, when Xiu Heng loved Imperial Consort Shu, he would have felt disgusted when he saw Imperial Consort Shu's fake look.

"When did Ya'er arrive? Aren't there morning lessons today? "If you're here, why aren't you going in?" Imperial Consort Shu reached out to touch Xiu Heng's head, but was opened up by Xiu Heng with one hand.

Imperial Consort Shu thought that Xiu Heng must have heard his words just now, so he didn't continue to put on an act.

After that, Xiu Heng's heart was filled with hatred towards the Imperial Consort Shu. He had once thought of denouncing everything to the Emperor of Xiliang, but the Imperial Consort Shu had obtained her own Divine Pet, covering the sky with one hand, furthermore, Xiu Heng had no evidence, so he couldn't do anything to her. Afterwards, the relationship between Xiu Heng and himself worsened.

Xiu Heng knew that Xiu Huang was innocent, but he could not forgive Imperial Consort Shu, nor could he forgive himself, who once viewed Imperial Consort Shu as a matriarch.

"First Prince, this servant just heard the news. Xiliang lost the war, so Jin Country asked Xiliang to cut her land and compensate him. The Emperor made an agreement with the Jin Country and promised to pay a hundred thousand silver taels in six years. In order to prevent the Emperor from breaking his promise, the Jin Country requested that the Xiliang hand over a prince to be sent to the Xiliang … " Wen Ying did not dare to continue his sentence, for fear of hurting his heart.

Xiu Heng sneered, "Why aren't you saying anything, then I'll speak for you, royal father chose me, right?"

Wen Ying did not make a sound, and slightly nodded. Wen Ying was also extremely sad in her heart. His master was an accomplished scholar, and although she only thought of the citizens of the Xiliang, the fact that the Emperor of Xiliang was going to send him to a distant Jin Country as if he was a proton was too chilling.

"First Prince, what should we do now? This trip for six years, who knows what kind of changes the situation in the Xiliang will bring about in this six years. Why did I have to choose you? The matriarch had been poisoned by the Imperial Consort Shu, and the brother he had cherished since he was young was the son of an enemy. The love of royal father was all on the body of the Prince Xiu Huang, so how could Xiu Heng be satisfied if he was still sent to the Jin Country when there was nothing left for him.

"Oh Wen Ying, actually, I had already expected this to happen. In this battle between the Xiliang and the, the most difficult part was still the commoners. If I am sent to the Jin Country, in exchange for a few years of truce between the two countries, why not? How could royal father send Xiu Huang out? Xiu Huang is his most beloved prince, so what if I am? He probably doesn't even have eyes for me, if it wasn't for my grandfather and the others who are flourishing in the imperial court, I'm afraid that I would not be able to continue being his prince. Even if grandfather were to pressure royal father, would royal father have the heart to tell the Imperial Consort Shu that he wanted to send her precious son to become a proton? Royal Father will only tell me this: As the First Prince of the Xiliang, I have the responsibility to sacrifice my life for my country, so how can I refuse? So, this proton, even if I don't want to be one, I still have to be one. As for the situation at the center of the court, 'the loss of a horse cannot be forgiven,' who would have thought that going to the Jin Country would become a chance for me to rise again? Even if I have to take revenge for the matriarch, I will definitely ascend to the position of crown prince. I will definitely strengthen and strengthen my own power, and I will definitely return. "

Carrying such hatred, Xiu Heng set foot on the road to Jin Country.
