Chapter 81 Farewell to the Prince
Looking at the prince's coughing and the fourth prince kneeling in front of him with sincere face, the emperor couldn't help but feel moved: "Okay, since this is the prince's decision, and Emperor Hao is so sincere, then what reason do I have to disagree with your request? Very well, you are all my good princes, and you are willing to share my worries and problems in this tense situation. I am really happy in my heart."
After making the decision, on the morning court the next day, the emperor issued a summoning order, and appointed the fourth prince Huangfu Haotian as King Mingcheng, and ordered him to lead an army of 50,000, bringing enough food and grass to the border town to present the army of Yan Xiaoli.
After going to court, Huangfu Haotian did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the prince's East Palace. Because at this time, there were still many things that needed to be explained to the prince in his heart.
Following the deacon in the East Palace and entering the prince's bedroom, Huangfu Haotian knelt directly on the prince's bed: "Brother, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"
Seeing that he was like this, His Highness the Crown Prince quickly struggled to sit up from the bed. When Huangfu Haotian saw this, he quickly stood up from the ground, then reached out to help the Crown Prince up, and helped him adjust his comfortable sitting position.
"Fourth brother...hehe, I've heard them say that the father has already given you the title of King Mingcheng in the morning court this morning, right?" The prince looked at him with a weak smile on his face: "Now, you can finally get what you want, right?"
"Brother, I..." Before Huangfu Haotian could finish his words, the crown prince stopped him again: "Okay, don't deny it. In fact, Brother Wei has already seen it these days. Although you have taken good care of Brother Wei as before, you always have a faint feeling on your face."
After hearing this, Huangfu Haotian felt a little ashamed: "The emperor's eyes are indeed clear, and you can see through this little thought of me at first glance."
When the crown prince heard this, he showed a weak smile to him: "Fourth brother, over the years, when will your thoughts escape the eyes of the elder brother? What's more, for such things, the elder brother is a person who has experienced it, so how can he not understand your thoughts? Fourth brother, that girl Ali has also seen her. She... is indeed a good girl, and it is worthy of my fourth brother, you have become so absent-minded for her."
"Brother..." Huangfu Haotian was speechless for a moment.
But the crown prince waved his hand at him and said, "Don't say anything more. Brother said, I understand everything about your thoughts. I know that the reason why you have been hesitating until now is also considering me."
"Don't say that, brothers, you and brothers have depended on each other since childhood. In addition to their father, Haotian has long regarded you as the person he loves most in this life."
After hearing this, the prince couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "Haotian, I know what you said. But these years... Alas, it has indeed made you suffer. Now, my brother's body has reached the stage of exhausting oil, so in this life, there are really not many days when you and my brother stay together."
"Emperor Brother..." Although Huangfu Haotian's face was always very strong, when he suddenly heard the prince say these words, his eyes suddenly became wet: "No matter what, I hope that you must persevere. Even for Lan'er, you two have finally been able to stay together now, so you, brother, you must make up for all the fatherly love you owed Lan'er for so many years!"
After hearing this, the crown prince suddenly showed a smile of relief on his face: "The fourth brother is saying. No matter what, even for Lan'er, Brother Wei will definitely hold on to this breath and live strongly." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gently put it on Huangfu Haotian's shoulder: "Fourth brother, to be honest, there is a saying that Brother Wei has wanted to say to you for a long time."
After hearing this, Huangfu Haotian quickly raised his head and looked at him.
The prince looked at him deeply and said, "Fourth brother, thank you for the past few years!"
After hearing this, Huangfu Haotian quickly spoke and said, "Why do the emperor say these words? As long as it is for the sake of the emperor's good, I will be willing to do whatever I do."
After hearing what he said, the crown prince nodded: "How could Brother Wei not believe what you said? If it weren't for you, Brother Wei might have been unable to hold on for a long time. And this time, thanks to you, Brother Wei could have known that there was a poor child Lan'er between me and I."
When the crown prince said this, his eyes slowly filled with tears: "If there is anything else that I can't let go of in this life, I'm afraid there is only one such poor child, Lan'er."
Seeing him like this, Huangfu Haotian quickly raised his hand and held the prince's hand and said, "Brother, don't think so much anymore. No matter what, now the father has finally admitted Lan'er's identity and has promised to give Sister Youlan the right name. Although the sister is no longer here, if she knows her in the spring, she will definitely be very happy."
When the emperor heard this, he finally nodded: "What the fourth brother said is. So, fourth brother, this time, you can go with confidence. No matter what, even for Lan'er or for the brotherly friendship between us, you can rest assured that no matter how hard it is, for your brother, you will definitely wait for the day when you return triumphantly."
"Brother..." Huangfu Haotian held the prince's hand tightly, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
But the crown prince suddenly pulled out a hand from his palm and patted it gently on his hand: "Go. Before leaving, go and say goodbye to the child Molan. In recent times, she has slowly regarded you as her support. If you just left quietly, the child would definitely be very sad."
"Okay." Huangfu Haotian agreed to the prince, but suddenly turned around and said to the deacon palace servant behind him: "Please trouble Eunuch Su, why not bring Princess Lan'er here."
"Okay, I'll invite the little princess here."
After the deacon's palace servant retreated, the crown prince suddenly held Huangfu Haotian's hand tightly and whispered to him: "Fourth brother, I don't think I need to say more. You will definitely understand in your heart that your departure must be the only one who wants to be someone else's. Therefore, I hope that for you, no matter what method you use, you must assist Miss Ali to end this war sooner."
After hearing this, Huangfu Haotian nodded: "I naturally understand what the emperor said."
But when the crown prince nodded, he said, "No matter what, Brother Wei, please rest assured. Even if it is for you or for the future fate of my Daling Kingdom, Brother Wei is too ill to get into bed, and he will still breathe his last breath and insist on waiting for you to come back."
"Don't say that anymore, brother. I would rather not have anything, as long as you can improve day by day."
"Haotian!" At this moment, the expression on the Crown Prince's face suddenly became serious: "You must remember that you are no longer an ordinary prince without a title. Now you have become King Mingcheng, who is on par with Prince Wu. Therefore, you must not forget everything we have insisted on over the years."
"Brother, I understand." Huangfu Haotian said with a slight emphasis: "Brother, don't worry, I have every word you said to me over the years, I have firmly remembered it in my heart."
After hearing this, the crown prince finally nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is my good brother, Huangfu Renhe, and my good son of the mother. - Remember, no matter what difficulties you will encounter in the future, you must not give up your dreams! It must not be!"
Huangfu Haotian looked at the crown prince's solemn expression at this time, and he couldn't help but nod at him again: "Brother, I'll write it down."
Seeing that he agreed to everything, the crown prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at him with a faint smile: "No matter what, this time everyone finally created an opportunity for you and Miss Ali to get along alone. Fourth brother, the crown prince knows that you really like her, so no matter what, you must seize this opportunity." Speaking of this, the crown prince's eyes suddenly darkened: "After all, no matter how she said, she is also the general's daughter."
When Huangfu Haotian heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have my own ideas about this matter."
The crown prince nodded and said, "Well, I believe in you for my brother!"
At this time, the deacon's palace servant had already carried Molan in from outside.
"Lan'er greets Dad! I wish Uncle Is Fourth!" As soon as Mo Lan entered the door, she asked the two of them in a good manner. After the greeting was finished, she ran to the prince's bed again and shouted: "Dad, Fourth Uncle, you two asked Lan'er to come here early in the morning. Do you have any fun things to tell me?"
Huangfu Haotian looked at her, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with pity. He stretched out his hand and hugged Mo Lan from the ground to his lap, and then spoke to her, "Hello Lan'er, the reason why I called you here early in the morning is that there is something to tell you. However, this matter is not what Lan'er said, it's a fun thing."
"Ah? What the fourth uncle wants to tell me is, what is going on?" Mo Lan was also curious when she heard this.
The prince suddenly spoke to her, "Lan'er, from today on, your fourth uncle may have to leave us for a while."
"What?" Mo Lan couldn't help but screamed: "Uncle Fourth is leaving us. Where is the fourth uncle going? Can't we take my father and I go with us?"
When Huangfu Haotian heard this, he smiled at her: "Silly child, do you think the fourth uncle is going to travel around the mountains and rivers, and can he bring a lot of family members with him?"
Looking at Mo Lan's sudden aggrieved look, Huangfu Haotian quickly explained to her: "Does Lan'er still remember Aunt Xiao?"
After hearing his words, Mo Lan tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly showed a sly smile and nodded, "Oh~ I understand. Lan'er heard from grandpa that Aunt Xiao has become a general and went to the northern country to fight wars. Uncle Fourth, do you plan to find Aunt Xiao back this time?"
Huangfu Haotian pinched her little nose lovingly and said with a smile: "I know you are smart and can't hide anything from you, the little devil."
After all, Mo Lan is just a child and doesn't know what kind of concept of fighting. But when she heard that Huangfu Haotian was going to find Xiao Li to come back, she showed a little excitement on her face: "Okay, because the fourth uncle is going to pick up Aunt Xiao, Lan'er doesn't make a noise. In fact, if she hasn't seen Aunt Xiao for so long, Lan'er misses her a little."
When Huangfu Haotian heard this, he couldn't help but reach out and pinched her little face: "You girl, you can say something nice. If you Aunt Xiao heard this, she might like you so much!"
After saying goodbye to the prince and Mo Lan, Huangfu Haotian then went to the general's mansion. When the general saw him, he first explained the specific situation about the border town to him carefully, and then asked him privately, hoping that after he got there, he could help him take good care of Xiaoli.
At this time, Huangfu Haotian naturally did not conveniently tell the general directly about the matter between him and Xiao Li, but he sincerely agreed to the general's words.
