Chapter 449 If there is an afterlife, I must not be born in the emperor's family
Too naive.
The fifth prince is still too naive.
Junze's face was full of disappointment.
Let it go?
He could have let the fifth prince go.
From now on, he will be an idle prince and live a happy life.
But what about after letting the fifth prince go?
Junze was full of disappointment and said to him:
"You have been spoiled since childhood."
"Everyone is afraid of you and supports you, making you feel that everything you have now is natural."
"Let me ask you."
"Can you bear to bow down to the Sixth Prince?"
"Can you bear to kowtow to the Ninth Prince?"
"Can you bear being ridiculed by those you look down upon?"
"Can you bear to look up to others and wait for charity?"
Every time Junze said a word, the fifth prince's face turned pale.
Junze's slap just now didn't come off, but these questions one after another were like slaps one after another, hitting him loudly on the face.
The answer is self-evident.
He can't stand it.
Can't stand any of them.
He was just angry for a moment.
He just cares about Derong too much.
He felt that he could give everything he had in exchange for Derong.
But he didn't think about how he would live without all this.
Junze looked down at him and said, "Even if you can bear all this, do you think others will let you go?"
The fifth prince fell into despair.
Junze sneered and said, "If you are like Prince Duan and spend your whole life mediocre and confused, you can quit at any time."
"But you are not."
"You are not only the legitimate son of the Holy Emperor, but also the eldest prince who survived the Holy Emperor. You have attracted attention since you were born."
"Your supporters put you on a high platform to persecute you, but also to protect you."
"There are so many people stretching out their hands to pull you down. I, my mother, the Jun family, and everyone from the Fifth Prince Faction are all trying their best to protect you."
"But you insist on jumping down by yourself."
"Have you ever thought about what's down there?"
"No matter whether the sixth prince or the ninth prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will regard you as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh."
"Do you think they will let you go if you don't want anything and just stay with Derong?"
"You and your Derong will be eaten by them until even the dregs are left."
The fifth prince closed his eyes and shed two lines of hot tears under Junze's questions.
None of this was what he wanted, but it was what he had to have.
If he cannot ascend the throne, he cannot protect Derong.
If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he would have to accept whatever others arranged for him.
He had to marry a princess, keep a woman he didn't love by his side, and hide his beloved in a dark corner.
Apart from that, he couldn't find any way out.
Junze said: "Now, do you still want to give up everything, just your Derong?"
The fifth prince even choked out: "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not be born in an emperor's family."
This sentence caused Junze to sneer again.
"Emperor's house?"
"Do you know that the emperor's house that you desperately escaped from is something that many people would only dream about?"
"Can your hand be strong enough to hold a sword or a hoe?"
"Can your legs ride a horse or walk on a muddy road?"
"In this palace full of people, you can kick anyone you don't like, but can your body withstand a noble kick?"
"You reach out for clothes and open your mouth for food. I don't know how you lived with your face facing the loess and your back to the sky. You don't know how a grain of rice or a strand of flax came from. You don't know what it feels like to be hungry and cold, let alone
How desperate it is to sell one’s sons and daughters, and not even be able to afford a straw mat after the death of a loved one.”
"Jing Shang, there are too many things in life that you have no control over."
"It's not just you. Looking at the world, who can truly come and go freely and carefree."
Junze stayed in this deserted corner to accompany this young man who had just learned to grow up.
Listening to him burst into tears, listening to him talk about the depression and depression of these years, as well as every moment with De Rong.
But his grief reached the extreme, and Junze saw on his face that he hesitated to speak.
Junze did not explore what the unfinished words were.
At the end, the fifth prince said: "Isn't my cousin feeling uncomfortable too?"
In the eyes of the fifth prince, his cousin deserved the title "Xiaoyao" and was the most indulgent and free-spirited person in the world.
He could only shout and kill the humble palace servants, but Junze dared to scold the minister's daughter, beat the prime minister's son, gallop his horse in the capital, and get drunk and sing in the palace.
Even he would occasionally be jealous of Junze, because the father, the Holy Father, favored Junze much more than he, the son.
But Junze said: "Who has not been in a cage for a long time, unable to control himself?"
If possible, he would also want to gallop and indulge in the battlefield, and scold Fang Qiu in the court.
But no.
He could only ride horses in the streets of Kyoto and get drunk at palace banquets.
He did all the dandy things to hide his unattainable ambition.
With the Jun family and the eldest princess around, the Holy One is too sensitive and suspicious to allow him to make achievements. Nor can he gain the respect of the world like Gu Yu did.
Therefore, the more achievements he makes, the stronger his dandy vibe becomes, and the more absurd things he does become.
He was like walking a tightrope, grasping this degree.
Despite being careful, the Holy Master still put him in a dead end when he was in Jiangnan.
But he couldn't complain.
No matter how you enjoy the blooming flowers and the burning oil, you have to be cautious and walk on thin ice.
The fifth prince said: "Is it because of Young Master Gu?"
Two men fell in love, just like he and Derong, who could not see the light of day.
The fifth prince looked at his cousin's sad eyes and felt sympathy for him.
The fifth prince said: "My cousin must be very sad to see Mr. Gu having so many wives and concubines and having children."
When Junze thought of that person who was as beautiful as jade and bamboo, he could only sigh a thousand times in his heart.
How could it not be sad?
Two people who obviously love each other end up in different ways and do not seek each other.
Although Gu Yu is a woman, under the layers of secrets, how is she any better than the fifth prince and Derong?
Junze said earnestly: "Jing Shang, life is so difficult, don't be willful anymore."
After saying that, he left.
Junze came all the way to Wenhansi. For some reason, he was eager to see Gu Yu.
After waiting outside the government office for a long time, I finally saw Gu Yu coming out of Wenhansi.
She was still dressed in green clothes and looked so cold and cold that people only dared to look at her from a distance.
Junze smiled bitterly, so what if he saw it?
We had stabbed each other with knives so painfully, and seeing each other again was just a matter of drinking poison to quench our thirst.
Gu Yu seemed to feel his gaze and turned around.
The two of them suddenly made eye contact, and quickly looked away in tacit agreement.
On the same road, drifting further and further away.
