Chapter 481: Chapter 264: The Great Affairs of the Nation Lie in Sacrifices and Warfare
Yu Hai raised his eyes and saw the Fourth Prince walking towards him with Wei Mian not far away, reminding the Eighth Prince, "Your Highness, it’s the Fourth Prince."
The Eighth Prince looked over and slightly furrowed his brow. His overly handsome face immediately darkened.
The Fourth Prince, not far away, did not see the Eighth Prince, but Wei Mian beside him did. He reminded the Fourth Prince, "Your Highness, it’s the Eighth Prince."
The Fourth Prince heard this, raised his eyes to look over, and immediately locked eyes with the Eighth Prince.
In that instant, Yu Hai and Wei Mian seemed to see lightning and thunder.
The two quickly looked away, no longer glancing at each other.
The Eighth Prince originally thought that once the Fourth Prince saw him, he would choose another path, but unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince walked straight towards him this time.
He slightly raised an eyebrow and continued walking forward. Every time he saw the Fourth Prince, he would never change direction.
Behind the Fourth and Eighth Princes, seeing that neither of the princes changed direction and both headed towards each other, Yu Hai and Wei Mian couldn’t help but feel tense.
The two did not walk straight towards each other. The Fourth Prince walked over expressionlessly, while the Eighth Prince strode coldly forward.
After a while, when they were about to pass each other, they both unconsciously came to a halt.
The Fourth Prince stood a bit in front of the Eighth Prince, while the Eighth Prince stood a little diagonally behind the Fourth Prince.
They stood with their backs to each other, not looking at each other.
"You will soon go to your fief. Before you do, I hope you stay away from the Tenth Brother." The Eighth Prince’s tone was full of warning, "You’d better always keep your distance from the Tenth Brother, don’t get close to him even a bit."
The Fourth Prince coldly said, "It’s not your place to meddle in matters between me and the Tenth Brother."
The Eighth Prince looked straight ahead, not even giving the Fourth Prince a glance from the corner of his eye.
"Now that you have stepped forward, if you get close to the Tenth Brother again, it will only bring danger to him."
The Fourth Prince also didn’t give the Eighth Prince a glance. He said with a stern handsome face, "You are more dangerous."
"Zhao Yun, you have already caught the attention of the Crown Prince and Prince Dai. They won’t act against you now, but what about in the future?" The Eighth Prince sharply questioned the Fourth Prince, "Once you are enfeoffed as a king and have your fief, they certainly won’t let you go, and by then, you’ll implicate the Tenth Brother."
He continued, "The Tenth Brother is young and has no power. Whether it’s the Crown Prince or Prince Dai, they can easily get rid of him."
The Fourth Prince was indifferent to what the Eighth Prince said. His face remained cold and stern, "You don’t need to worry, I will protect the Tenth Brother."
"Zhao Yun, once you are enfeoffed as a king, you will immediately have to go to your fief. How will you protect the Tenth Brother?" The Eighth Prince pressed relentlessly.
"This doesn’t concern you." The Fourth Prince coldly warned the Eighth Prince, "You better not think that your actions won’t bring danger to the Tenth Brother."
His tone was full of pressure: "Zhao Yi, you are even more dangerous!" Having said that, he directly left.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is too arrogant." Yu Hai was very displeased with the Fourth Prince’s attitude towards the Eighth Prince, "Your Highness, we should still..."
Before Yu Hai finished his words, the Eighth Prince shot him a cold glance, scaring him into silence and lowering his head.
The Eighth Prince said nothing more and continued walking towards the Eastern Palace.
The Fourth Prince, meanwhile, continued towards Lanyuan Pavilion.
"Your Highness, what does the Eighth Prince mean?" Wei Mian also disliked the Eighth Prince, "How can he say you would bring danger to the Tenth Prince, clearly he is the most dangerous one."
The Fourth Prince said indifferently, "Don’t bother with him."
"Your Highness, you know what kind of person the Eighth Prince is, and what he has done. Why not get rid of him?" Yu Hai couldn’t understand why the Eighth Prince didn’t get rid of the Fourth Prince, and Wei Mian also didn’t understand why the Fourth Prince didn’t eliminate the Eighth Prince. "If you don’t get rid of the Eighth Prince, he certainly won’t spare you in the future."
The Fourth Prince naturally knew that the Eighth Prince would become his greatest threat in the future, but not now.
"The future matters, we’ll deal with them in the future."
"Your Highness!" Wei Mian called out discontentedly.
The Fourth Prince glanced at Wei Mian, explaining, "Zhao Yi is useful, can’t remove him now."
Hearing this, Wei Mian was slightly stunned, then asked with curiosity and doubt, "Your Highness, what use is the Eighth Prince?"
"He can protect the Tenth Brother." The Fourth Prince was very displeased with the Eighth Prince. He thought the Eighth Prince was too sly and despicable, like a rat in a ditch. However, he knew the Eighth Prince was genuinely kind to Zhao Yao. The Eighth Prince would never let anything happen to Zhao Yao. "When I am enfeoffed and go to my fief, the Tenth Brother will be left alone in the palace, which is very dangerous. Zhao Yi will protect him."
