Chapter 397: Prince Anyang Leaves the Capital (3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Seventh Prince looked at his Fifth Brother.
lie cursed in his heart.
He said he was a hypocrite. Who could be more hypocritical than him?
The Third Prince also looked at the Fifth Prince.
Sometimes he really wanted to slap him on the face.
However, watching him insult his other brothers really made him feel good.
“Haha, thank you for your kind intentions.” Prince Anyang smiled indifferently. Not only was he not angry, he even cupped his hands at the Fifth Prince.
Prince Anyang smiled in relief at the three prince’s surprised expressions.
“I’m about to go on a long journey. Perhaps 1’11 return again…”
“Forget it. I hope that day never comes.”
Unless summoned by the court or the Emperor died, he could not enter the court.
To his three brothers, he couldn’t say that he would definitely return as soon as possible.
“Father is right. As the eldest brother, I didn’t do my duty well. Not only did I not care for my brothers, but I also made things difficult for you many times before.”
“Fortunately, you didn’t hold it against me. At a time like this, you still came to send me off. 1 am really touched.” As Prince Anyang spoke, he actually looked at the three of them with grat.i.tude.
The three princes were extremely embarra.s.sed.
“In the past, I’ve let you down in some ways. 1 hope you can forgive me. I’m leaving, far away from the court. I wish Father and all my brothers good health.”
Without waiting for the three princes to reply, Prince Anyang continued,
“Anyang County is actually a good place to be.”
“Father gave me a t.i.tle and a fief, allowing me to be a free and wealthy prince.”
“Last night, I thought about it.”
“There’s nothing bad about going to Anyang County to be an idle prince. Isn’t it better than living in fear in the capital?” Prince Anyang smiled again.
Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to the three princes.
“I will have nothing to do with the matters in the court from now on. In the future, no matter which of you stays in the Eastern Palace, I only wish that there will be peace.”
The three princes were shocked.
They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
The words that they had originally prepared to humiliate Prince Anyang could not be said.
He actually lowered himself to them and even begged them to let him off when they gained power in the future. It was unbelievable.
Was the blow this time really too great? Had he completely given up on the throne?
It was understandable. After all, he was banished from the capital.
Unless he was summoned by the Emperor, he would not be able to return to the capital.
The situation in the court was changing.
Once Prince Anyang left, who would still bet on him?
Very soon, the imperial court would no longer have great power.
Thinking of this, the three princes looked at Prince Anyang with a different expression.
“Haha, you are too serious. Father is at the peak of his power, and there is no urgency in occupying the Eastern Palace.” The Third Prince said.
“That’s right. We’re mediocre and don’t dare to dream of taking such a position.” Seventh Prince followed.
The Fifth Prince glared at the Seventh Prince.
Who is mediocre?
But even so, the Fifth Prince still replied, “Seventh Brother is right.”
Prince Anyang smiled and didn’t take their words to heart.
“This journey is long. Please take care. Farewell.” Prince Anyang bowed again and said emotionally.
Then, without waiting for the three princes to reply, he turned around and got into the carriage.
The eunuch lowered the curtain.
The convoy continued to move forward.
The three princes by the roadside were awakened by the sound of the wind.
Then, they looked at each other and watched the convoy leave.
“Was that really our older brother?” The Fifth Prince was the first to speak.
He was the most powerful among them and had always been the proudest.
But today, he actually bowed to them. He even admitted defeat and begged them not to fight with him after one of them ascended the throne.
He was the high and mighty First Prince, the eldest son of his father, and the most likely candidate to enter the Eastern Palace and become the future heir to the throne after the death of his second brother.
Once he lost his power, he was dispirited, but he was open-minded.
Yes, open-minded!
Did he realize that he had no hope of becoming the emperor?
If this happened to them, they might be too…
At the thought of this, the three princes looked at the departing back of Prince Anyang’s carriage and felt a little sad.
Perhaps, what he said was right. Withdrawing from the disputes in the capital and becoming a wealthy and idle prince was also a good ending. Unfortunately, none of them wanted to let go of that opportunity..
