Chapter 1784 Nervous Du Xin

Zhao Su's words were not false or polite. He really didn't have too many ideas about the position of the crown prince. This didn't mean that he didn't want to be the crown prince at all, but he knew it was unrealistic.

First of all, he was relatively young among all the princes. He was only thirteen years old this year. There was no problem getting married at this age, but compared with those royal brothers, he seemed young and ignorant. The ministers in the court didn't trust him too much. Moreover, he was young. Compared with those royal brothers, he had too little time to manage and prepare, and there was no way for him to have too much power in the court.

The second point, which was also the most important point, was that his father didn't like him very much. At least compared with other princes, he didn't have anything that made the old emperor look up to him. Instead, because he liked to listen to storytelling and watch plays, the old emperor thought he was playful and unenterprising, which made the old emperor quite unhappy.

Because of these reasons, Zhao Su didn't have too many ideas about the position of the crown prince. In his opinion, it would be better to listen to storytelling and watch plays instead of wasting time on such impossible things.

"Your Highness, you have no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, but other princes do not know this. Those who have an intention of becoming the Crown Prince will regard you as their potential rival and will target you." Du Xin said, "Your Majesty has given a deadline of half a month. Anything can happen in this half month."

"You mean, my brothers will attack me?" Zhao Su said, "That's impossible. They are usually pretty good to me."

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, there is no family affection in the imperial family. In front of the Crown Prince position and the throne, that little family affection is too thin." Du Xin said, "Anyway, Your Highness should be careful during this period. It won't be too late to go out after the selection of the crown prince is determined. "

"Du Xin, you think too much." Zhao Su didn't take Du Xin's words to heart, and said with a smile: "How old am I? Compared with my brothers, I am too young. Even if there is no family affection in the imperial family as you said, they will fight each other and will not involve me. I am not a threat to them, whether it is age or power. "

"Your Highness, although you say so, but..."

"Okay, stop talking, I know what I am doing, hurry up and prepare the carriage, otherwise it will be too late." Zhao Su interrupted Du Xin's words, looking quite impatient.

This storytelling is about to begin, Du Xin is talking nonsense here, isn't it a waste of his time, really.

Du Xin looked at Zhao Su and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Zhao Su obviously had made up his mind, and it was useless for him to say anything, it would only make Zhao Su feel that he was annoying.

Thinking of Zhao Su's age, Du Xin was relieved. Zhao Su's age was the time for rebellion, and he had his own ideas. No matter how much he said, he might not listen to it, and it might even have a counter-effect.

Thinking of this, Du Xin could only sigh in his heart and thought: "I hope I'm worrying too much."

Du Xin's face was not strange, and he said, "I'll prepare it now."

Since Zhao Su has decided to go out, what he can do now is to do a good job of protection and protect Zhao Su's safety. As for other things, he will not think about it for the time being, and it's useless to think about it.

"That's about right." Zhao Su said with satisfaction.

Soon, the carriage was ready, and Zhao Su, accompanied by Du Xin and others, went to Fuyuan Building.

Because he was in disguise, Zhao Su did not want to attract much attention, and therefore, he directly rejected Du Xin's proposal to bring more guards. According to him, the reason why he disguised himself was that he didn't want others to recognize his identity. If he went to Fuyuan Building with a lot of guards, what was the point of his disguise? He might as well just aim at the title of the Eighth Prince.

Therefore, he rejected Du Xin's idea of ​​bringing more people very straightforwardly and firmly.

In desperation, Du Xin had to select elite soldiers from the guards to follow him and protect Zhao Su along the way. As for the others, he did not let them idle, but let them follow in secret.

Zhao Su was careless, and Du Xin dared not be careless. If Zhao Su had any accident, he, the leader of the guards, would also be unlucky. Therefore, he put all his thoughts into protecting Zhao Su.

Since Zhao Su did not allow too many guards around his carriage, Du Xin asked other guards to follow in secret. In short, the ability to protect Zhao Su should not be too little, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

The carriage went on the street and headed towards Fuyuan Building.

In the carriage, Zhao Su looked relaxed, even humming a little tune. Although he was young, he was quite interested in opera and storytelling. This was obviously different from their prince. Moreover, he was quite proficient in these aspects. He often sang opera and storytelling in the mansion.

Outside the carriage, Du Xin was not so relaxed. He always felt uneasy while riding on the horse. He was nervous and looked around all the way, trying to find any potential danger.

Du Xin always felt that there was something unusual on the street today. He always felt that someone was watching them in the dark, and there was more than one person. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhao Su lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Du Xin with a smile: "Du Xin, don't be so nervous, nothing will happen. We have walked this road so many times. When has anything happened? Don't worry too much."

"Your Highness is right." Du Xin agreed, but he still didn't dare to relax his face. His eagle-like eyes stared at the surroundings.

Looking at Du Xin's appearance, Zhao Su smiled helplessly and didn't say anything else. Du Xin was also doing it for his own good. Although he felt that Du Xin didn't need to do it at all, he couldn't say anything more when he saw Du Xin insisting.

The distance from the Eighth Prince's residence to Fuyuan Tower was not too close. Du Xin was very nervous along the way, but the fact was that until the carriage stopped in front of Fuyuan Tower, they did not suffer any attacks. The journey was very peaceful and smooth.

"Du Xin, what did I say? I said nothing would happen, but you still didn't believe it." Zhao Su said to Du Xin while getting off the carriage.

"Your Highness is wise, and I am overthinking." Du Xin replied.

Du Xin was a little undecided at this time. Could it be that he was really overthinking? Those princes still remembered the brotherhood and would not do too much?

Or are those people not ready to take action yet?

Du Xin followed Zhao Su into Fuyuan Building with doubts in his heart.
