The prince glanced at the hall, and the other monks had been sent by him to rest in the ear room on the side, and at this moment there were only him and the third child.

He walked over to Satoru and sat down, and when he saw that the other party ignored him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Third brother, you have really changed your temper. No wonder I often hear people listening to Zen and chanting Buddha can forget the distracting thoughts in their hearts, the third brother is transformed by Buddhism, right? ”

The prince didn't care about ignoring the enlightenment, and looking at the sandalwood rising in front of him, he also abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and closed his eyes slightly.

Listening to the sound of the wooden fish in his ears, the prince actually felt that he was unprecedentedly relaxed at this moment.

The prince remembered every bit of the past 30 years, and it seemed that since he was sensible, he was calculating, and he didn't dare to relax at any moment.

calculates how to win the favor of his father, calculates his brothers, calculates the courtiers, and sometimes even calculates the queen mother.

In fact, he also thought about being a rich and noble prince who was idle and leisurely, and lived a comfortable life of a virtuous wife and filial piety.

However, he was born in this royal family, so he had no choice. Especially as the son of the middle palace, if you don't fight or grab, you will kill yourself.

If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. If he was the fourth, he would not have such ambitions, but who told him to be reincarnated in the Middle Palace?

"Third brother, my father has died, and this palace is about to inherit the country, but there is no trace of joy in this palace's heart, why should you be?"

The hand that Wu knocked on the wooden fish did not stop, and he was still as calm and calm as just now.

"The royal family has no affection, and the palace is also unwilling to be a sibling, I just hope that we can be well!"

The prince opened his eyes suddenly, and his usually gentle face was already condensed, and the chill in his eyes was still revealed.

Satoru felt the chill in the other party's eyes, but he didn't panic.

"Your Highness! The past is like smoke, and now the poor monk is just a monk in Bao'en Temple, and the Dharma is enlightened! The fireworks are empty, and the past has gone with the wind. Why should Your Highness come to tempt again, the rolling red dust is only a few decades, and it is better to cherish it! ”

Wu Wu stopped knocking on the wooden fish in his hand, and looked back at the prince's gaze was peaceful, unwavering, and quiet.

The prince looked at it for a long time, and then smiled with relief, "After all, my brother is still a person in the red dust, and I can't see it as my third brother." Some obsessions are normal. Third brother, my father left his last words before his death, let this palace keep you safe for the rest of your life! Father still thinks of you, otherwise he would not have agreed to the palace's treatment of you back then. ”

The prince stood up and patted Satoru lightly on the shoulder.

Enlightenment stopped the rotating Buddha beads, paused for a long time, and did not make a sound.

He looked back at the prince and suddenly stretched out a hand and shook it towards the one on his shoulder.

"Ding!" The sound of a sword unsheathed suddenly sounded in the hall, and a dark guard dressed in a dark robe appeared behind the prince, his expression was solemn, and he stared at the hand.

Realizing the suffocation in his heart, he retracted his hand again, "I remember that His Royal Highness had the demeanor of a brother when he was a child, and now he is just as tolerant of his brother." His father appointed His Royal Highness as the crown prince, because he had a unique vision, and no one could find fault with it. ”

The prince hurriedly waved off the secret guard, he looked at Satoru's retracted hand, and recalled the third child in his childhood.

Because the prince could not live with his mother since he was a child, they chose another place to live in the palace since they could walk.

When he was a child, he was the most sticky person, because the third child was not very bold since he was a child. When he is still unsteady walking, he usually leads him.

Looking back, they are also like ordinary brothers, brothers, friends and brothers. But when they grow up, they will be brothers and fratricidal, and they will not give up until they fight to the death.

"Your Highness! Dali Temple Shaoqing Gu asks to see! Outside the hall, he remembered De'an's voice and pulled the prince back to his senses.

"The third brother recites the scriptures every day, and it is not easy to think about it, so it is better to take care of your body. In the future, the palace will often go to Bao'en Temple to see you, and I heard Rong Jia say that your chess skills have improved again, and when you have time, let's talk about a good game. ”

Thinking of the warmth between the two as children, the prince's tone couldn't help but soften a lot. After he gave an explanation, he left the side hall.

Enlightenment looked at the back of the prince and walked away, and then picked up the Buddha beads and turned them.

It's just that a sneer has already appeared on the corner of his mouth, he has become a monk, and he has to be suspicious of the prince. What did his father's last words say before his death, wasn't it to test him?

Rong Jia is right, what if you hide in the temple? As soon as the crown prince ascends the throne, it will be the time of reckoning.

Two years ago, the prince wanted to take care of his reputation, but in the end he still let him go. Just to stop his thoughts, but let him become a monk.

However, the prince still cares too much about his reputation, even if he is a monk. It doesn't matter what your background is, and it doesn't matter what your unbearable past is.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser. As long as you win, the records in the history books are up to you.

can't get together with his wife and children, and he has to worry about being liquidated all the time, such a day is simply worse than death.

Even if Rong Jia didn't come to look for him, he was already secretly arranged. It's just that the time has not yet come, and we need to be patient for some time.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince! The assassin has some eyebrows! ”

Gu Chengyu arrived at the East Palace and waited for half an hour before the prince was late.

"Master Gu doesn't have to be polite! Have you caught those assassins? These thieves are so rampant that they don't even take our Dayan royal family in their eyes. If they are allowed to escape, this palace will feel uneasy! ”

Speaking of this assassin, the prince was also worried.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this time Weichen has caught thirteen assassins, and he has already imprisoned them in Dali Temple, just waiting for His Highness to fall!"

The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, "Did the mastermind behind the scenes catch it?" ”

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "Not yet, the status of these people in Daxing must not be low, and it will definitely take some time to catch them." ”

The prince was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he was relieved in an instant.

It is not easy to catch those assassins, and in such a large capital, finding these people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. That is, Gu Chengyu is safe and has a plan, otherwise they would really let those assassins come and go freely.

"You've arrested those assassins, and you've already leaked the news, and it's going to be difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

Gu Chengyu chuckled lightly when he heard this, "It's not difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, the task of searching in the city will continue, as long as the Janissary Commander can guard the city gate, let's catch turtles in an urn." Besides, they received the news that it was good to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

In fact, there is another way, but Gu Chengyu didn't say it, this plan is a bit rebellious. As the heir of the country, how can the prince be in danger?

"Then this matter will have to be bothered by Lord Gu." The prince looked at Gu Chengyu's calm face, and suddenly remembered Shen Shikang's proposal.
