350. To Make the Announcent Fair and Square (I)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The woman leaned forward with a smile, but didn’t completely nestle against the crown prince’s chest.
“What makes you so angry?”
The woman in front of him was not only a beauty, but also a clever assistant and a good partner.
Therefore, the crown prince didn’t hide anything and said imdiately, “You know as for the sacrifice ceremony in Western Mountain, the leader of the royal family is a very important position, and it also symbolizes the throne. Now, the leader will be that guy.”
“The fourth prince?” Zhu Qingzi raised her eyebrows. “In fact, it’s understandable. Last ti, you irritated the emperor and he has already stated that he wouldn’t allow you to lead the team. We don’t know whether he likes the fifth prince or not. After all, he hasn’t been back for a long ti. The fourth prince has made so achievents recently and didn’t do anything wrong. Therefore, it is normal for the emperor to ask him to be the leader.”
After hearing that, the crown prince didn’t beco more upset, but he still said in anger, “That old fox really should abdicate!”
Zhu Qingzi chuckled. “Your Highness, I know you’re anxious, but haste makes waste. We must do sothing now, otherwise...”
“Dear, tell what we should do,” the crown prince said imdiately.
Zhu Qingzi smiled faintly. “In my opinion...”
When she was making suggestions to the crown prince, Zhou Suye also received the ssage on the other side.
He knew that he shouldn’t expect to be chosen as the leader.
But when Emperor Zhou really chose Fang Shuoyang, he was still a bit disappointed.
He got the feeling that his father really wanted them to compete...
Thinking of the noblest position in the nation, Zhou Suye couldn’t help clenching his fists.
Now that he was already a prince, he was also qualified to fight for it.
Moreover, both the second prince and the third prince had been dead, so he stood a good chance, didn’t he?
As long as the crown prince and Fang Shuoyang were...
Thinking of that, Zhou Suye’s eyes flashed with coldness.
Those who were determined to achieve sothing big shouldn’t be so rciful.
The success of a general would cost many lives. So he knew that if he wanted to reach the highest position, he must do sothing, and he had to be cruel...
He didn’t believe that the death of the second and third princes had nothing to do with those two n.
At present, he was also a prince, so he would be dealt with sooner or later!
It that case, he’d better to strike first!
After so consideration, Zhou Suye made a decision.
Then, he summoned his trusted followers and asked them to do sothing...
In the middle of the night, Fang Shuoyang returned from the palace.
A servant from the palace sent him back by carriage. The carriage left after they arrived at the mansion and the driver was very respectful to him. After Fang refreshed himself and returned to the bedroom, Xu You was already asleep.
Xu drank a little liquor at the banquet earlier. At this mont, he was sleeping, and even snoring.
Fang found Xu was so cute like this, so he couldn’t help pinching his nose.
Xu didn’t wake up. He just turned over and continued to sleep.
Fang smiled gently. Then, he leaned over and kissed Xu’s nose.
Xu didn’t know that soone had taken advantage of him and was still sleeping soundly.
Later, Fang also went to bed.
Lying beside Xu, he was very calm.
Earlier at the palace, Fang found his father looked very kind, as if the throne was about to be passed to him.
If he was a brainless person, he would definitely be moved and swear loyalty to the emperor.
But it was a pity that he was not a fool and he had many consultants around him.
Therefore, Emperor Zhou, who behaved as a benevolent father, didn’t move him at all.
On the contrary, it made him feel more disappointed. There was really no real love in the royal family.
All the princes were his sons, but Emperor Zhou was so partial to a certain son.
Fang didn’t want to think about that hypocritical person anymore. He held Xu in his arms... and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Long got up and yawned. Liu was in the sa room, but he slept on the ground.
Later, he also woke up.
Liu yawned. Then, he got up directly from the ground and began to gather up the bedding.
Long yawned again, watching Liu work.
After a while, Liu was finished.
Long also tidied up the room and then went outside.
There would still be a banquet this night, but compared to the previous night, there wouldn’t be so many people.
Only the ministers and princes would go to attend it.
Moreover, only the ministers of the fourth and higher ranks were qualified and guards were not allowed.
It would be a gathering within the imperial court. At the banquet, Emperor Zhou was expected to announce that the sacrifice ceremony in Western Mountain would be led by Fang Shuoyang.
Long didn’t need to go there, so he felt relaxed.
Before nightfall, Fang went to the palace by his own carriage.
Long and the others stayed at ho. Later, Xu asked Long to have dinner with him.
Long thought for a while and didn’t refuse.
The two of them began to drink liquor in the inner room. It seed that they would drink to their hearts’ content this night.
Logically, Liu should always stay with Long, but he didn’t think he needed to follow Long closely.
Therefore, Liu just went to take a look and left.
The two brothers drank for a long ti and both of them got tipsy.
Until...
“Assassins!”
Hearing the noises outside, Long imdiately beca alert.
“Xu You, there are assassins outside!”
“Huh? Assassins? Where are they?” Xu was obviously more drunk than Long and he couldn’t even speak clearly.
At this ti, Liu ca in from outside. “There are a lot of assassins. Co with .”
Long dragged Xu and followed Liu.
Instead of running outside, Liu led them to the inner hall.
Soon, Liu took them in front of a room and pushed them in together.
Long staggered when he was pushed and Xu was more unlucky because he fell directly to the ground.
Long hurriedly helped him up. “Be careful. Are you okay?”
Xu still felt a little giddy. “Elder Brother?”
Long pulled Xu towards him. “Yeah, it’s . There are assassins out there. Be careful.”
