Suddenly, it started to snow between the sky and the earth at this time. Snowflakes like goose feathers fell and hit Chen Chao's head. After a while, his head was covered with snowflakes.

He was a little distracted.

When he came to his senses, the heavy snow disappeared, the imperial city in front of him also disappeared, and he arrived in a courtyard.

The yard is huge, surprisingly big.

In fact, that courtyard is called the East Palace.

The owner of the East Palace is a gentle and humble man. He is known as the most outstanding prince in the past two hundred years of the Liang Dynasty. From the day he became the prince, everyone knew that the throne of the Liang Dynasty was

Belongs to him.

He is really outstanding in all aspects, so both the officials and the other princes think that he is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.

The fourth prince, who was the only one who could stand beside him, respected his eldest brother extremely.

Since he was appointed as the crown prince, that man has been learning how to handle political affairs. In the past few years, the Emperor Lingzong also entrusted him with many political affairs, and he lived up to expectations and handled them well.

, and his reputation is getting better and better.

One day later, he married his concubine. He couldn't tell whether it was because he liked her or because the woman also came from the general's palace and had the northern general behind her.

Marriages in the royal family are often unclear. Like it or not, it seems to be just that.

Soon the concubine became pregnant with the blood of the royal family. Ten months later, the child was born, a son.

The prince will eventually become the emperor one day, but his son has no chance of becoming the prince because he is not the legitimate son.

Perhaps for this reason, he rarely visits his son.

But someone still wants to believe that he is just too busy.

The crown prince of a country is always very busy.

But he was so busy, yet he often taught his legitimate son lessons. It seemed that he regarded that child as the heir to the dynasty.

Chen Chao sat on the roof of the East Palace, watching what happened in the East Palace over the years, and looking at the child who was often held in his mother's arms.

But in fact, what he saw more was the woman.

After she married into the East Palace, she had lived a very hard life in the past few years. She wanted to be a queen, but obviously, she had no chance in this life. With better luck, she might be able to be canonized as a noble concubine in the future, but that was the end.

But she seemed to have bad luck. The mistress of the East Palace did not like her, so she often made things difficult for her. It was difficult for her to see her husband, so she had no way to express her grievances.

Chen Chao looked at her with tears in his eyes.

He felt a little distressed.

In fact, if she does not marry into the East Palace, depending on her family background, even if she is just an illegitimate daughter, she will be treated well by her husband's family no matter where she marries.

But she happened to marry into a place that didn't care about her family background the least, but she was just an illegitimate daughter.

Chen Chao suddenly felt a little cold on his face. It was raining.

It rained heavily. ??

Outside the small courtyard, a man came here in a hurry. With a tired smile, he looked at the woman who was holding her child.

The woman was very happy, and the man said a few words of concern, looked at the child, and teased her for a while. At this time, he finally looked like a father.

It rained heavily and he didn't have much time. About half an hour later, the woman said she would make some food for him. He didn't refuse. After holding the child, he looked at it for a moment and handed it to the palace attendant.

, we have to turn around and leave this yard.

Chen Chao looked at this scene, thought for a while, and walked down from the roof, came to the man's side, and said calmly, "Can't we wait any longer?"

He really didn't want to disappoint his mother, even if it was just in a dream.

The man looked at the uninvited guest with some confusion. After seeing the young man's face and some kind of spiritual connection, he did not leave for the first time. Instead, he stood under the eaves with him, watching the heavy rain.

"I am very busy. There are many things in the palace that need to be dealt with. There is no room for delay."

The man spoke slowly, as if he was trying to explain something.

Chen Chao said, "I often see my other son when I have time, but I don't have time to see my son and his wife."

The man frowned, "He is not only my son, but also my eldest son. He will be the crown prince of the Liang Dynasty in the future. I care about his growth and it is what the country needs."

Chen Chao pointed to "himself" who was being held by the palace man in the distance and asked, "What about him?"

The man said, "He is also my son. He has no responsibilities and does not need to work so hard."

Chen Chao sneered and said, "Don't he have a surname of Chen? In the future, when the court is in trouble, he can just stand by and watch and not care about anything?"

Hearing this, the man was speechless for a moment.

After a long time, he just said, "Being in the royal family is my destiny."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "If you treat him like this, will it be acceptable if he doesn't do anything when you need him in the future?"

"Nonsense! As a member of the royal family, he cannot do nothing at any time!"

The man was a little angry.

Chen Chao asked, "Then he has never received anything, but he has to pay so much one day, is it fair?"

The man said, "As a member of the royal family, there is no such thing as fairness or injustice."

Chen Chao smiled again, "Did he choose to be born into this so-called royal family?"

The man didn't speak and became a little silent.

Chen Chao thought to himself and said, "Everyone in the Liang Dynasty said that you are the best prince and the person the court needs. You have done all those things very well, but I don't like you."

The man looked at the heavy rain and didn't know what to say.

"As a citizen of Daliang, I am happy to have a prince like you in the world, but as a son, I am disappointed to have a father like you."

Chen Chao took a deep breath and laughed at himself, "Is it because he is a bastard, so he is not even qualified to compete for many things? This is not important. But his father, can't he just regard his son as his son?"

"He doesn't need that much. He doesn't need any world or glory, but he only wants his father's love. Is this too much to ask for?"

Chen Chao looked at the man in front of him. They were somewhat similar, but there were many differences between them.

Just like the thoughts of the courtiers who had seen this man, Chen Chao was actually not much like him, but more like the fourth prince.

The man said softly, "He wants to get more and bear more. You don't have such a heavy burden on your shoulders. It's not unfair to get less."

Chen Chao said, "Can you explain clearly what happens later?"

The man turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

Chen Chao said calmly, "I'll kill him."

After hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly widened, his face turned pale, and he looked at Chen Chao in disbelief, "Why? Is it because I ignored you, because he got more?"

Chen Chao shook his head, "Because he wanted to kill me many times."

The future prince was even less like him. He was very deep-set and suspicious at a young age. He was worried that the world would belong to someone else, and that the person sitting on that chair might not be him in the future.

Therefore, he must clear obstacles for himself and get rid of all those who may threaten him.

"He told me that there was something good in the well and asked me to jump in and have a look. He told me that when it's cold, wearing less clothes would make me stronger. He told me..."

In those years, he used many reasons to coax a child.

He wanted to create an accident and let the child leave this world just like that.

The man frowned deeply, "I have neglected his education."

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not the reason."

The man suddenly said, "But even so, you are still alive, so you shouldn't kill him."

Chen Chao asked, "What you said sounds disgusting. If I die, I won't be able to kill him."

Some things, after they have happened, are destined to be incapable of doing anything. But when you do something, others will say that they can't hurt you.

"If someone wants to kill me, I will kill him first. Don't you understand this? Are you a fool to wait for others to kill you?"

Chen Chao laughed.

"But he is always your brother."

The man closed his eyes in pain.

"Yes, my brother is actually thinking about how to kill me. I still want to think that he is always my brother. Is this reasonable?"

Chen Chao looked at him, shook his head and said, "Father does not regard me as his son, and brother does not regard me as his brother. Then why should I regard my father as my father and my brother as my brother?"

The man's face looked ugly, and these words were like a needle pricking his heart.

"Same thing, do you know how Uncle Four chose?"

Chen Chao looked at the man in front of him.

"Fourth child?"

The man looked at Chen Chao with some confusion.

"I also killed his son, my other brother."

The man took a few steps back again, unable to believe what he heard.
