Chapter 887: Idiot, thats because…

Xiao Tianyao said he was giving the Eldest Prince a chance, but he was cutting off the Eldest Prince’s escape route. The Eldest Prince had to choose to lead troops to encircle Fengluan Palace. It was nothing if the alliance between him and the Empress would not work out. But after that, it would be good if the Empress did not retaliate against him afterward.

But if he refuses, Xiao Tianyao will never let him go.

“Imperial Uncle Xiao, this matter…” The Eldest Prince wanted to die at this moment.

He regretted it, really regretted it.

He was already fed up and can’t do anything. He was planning to leave, so why did he get involved in these things and put himself in a dilemma?

Xiao Tianyao said without looking up: “Benwang will give you a time for a stick of incense, and after one stick of incense, benwang will decide for you.”

As soon as his words fell, a guard lit a stick of incense and put it aside.

Watching the incense burn little by little, the Eldest Prince sweated more on his forehead, and his heart became more and more chaotic.

He was very clear about Xiao Tianyao’s methods. If he turned against the water and surrounded the Fengluan Palace today, their Imperial Uncle Xiao would just pretend that today’s incident never happened. He would not give him a fiefdom and let him leave the capital with his troops. He will just be a little prince living in the capital.

But on the contrary, if he doesn’t do what their Imperial Uncle Xiao said, he will never let him go. Not to mention leading his troops to leave the capital, leaving the capital alive will be a problem.

Of course, the premise was that their Imperial Uncle Xiao will defeat the Empress; If the Empress wins the battle in the end, it would be beneficial for him if help the Empress today. On the other hand, if he follows their Imperial Uncle Xiao’s request, he surrounded the Fengluan Palace. According to the Empress’ temper, he will never have a good end.

This matter, no matter how he decides, will be a big gamble in the end. But compared to what he can get, the exchange was too big, and he doesn’t want to gamble.

“Imperial Uncle Xiao, this nephew is also doing this according to orders. Imperial Uncle Xiao, can you let this nephew go?” Can’t he just leave the palace as if nothing happened?

Xiao Tianyao looked at the Eldest Prince with a half-smile: “Do you think should I let go of someone who slapped me in the face?”

The Eldest Prince brought people to the Hanfang Palace to slap him in the face. No need to mention that he was in power now, even if he was suppressed by the Emperor back then, he would not spare the Eldest Prince lightly.

He, Xiao Tianyao, was not so easy to step on.

“Imperial Uncle Xiao, this nephew came to apologize to you.” Leaving here will just break the agreement with the Empress, but if he were to lead soldiers to surround Fengluan Hall, he would offend the Empress to death.

Well, he has already decided in his heart that the Empress can’t beat their Imperial Uncle Xiao today, but he was worried that the Empress will come back to revenge him in the future.

He doesn’t know how much power the Empress has, but seeing how the Empress can cooperate with their Imperial Uncle Xiao before, it can be inferred that the Empress has a lot of power. He’d better be cautious, so as not to end up being the target of the Empress.

The Empress can’t help but retaliate against their Imperial Uncle Xiao, but it won’t be a problem to torment him.

“Do you think benwang cares about these false names?” Their Imperial Uncle Xiao still didn’t answer his question, his tone was neither serious nor serious, but the Eldest Prince was covered in sweat.

After taking a look, only half of the incense was left, the Eldest Prince bowed his head again and said respectfully: “Imperial Uncle, this nephew was confused for a moment. I hope Imperial Unlce can be merciful.” Greed was indeed a bad thing. If it wasn’t for the benefits the Empress gave him, he would not end up in a dilemma.

“Benwang knows that you are confused, that’s why I give you a chance to correct it.” As for whether the Eldest Prince will seize this opportunity, he doesn’t care.

He was not a saint, and he has no responsibility to save all living beings.

“Imperial Uncle… …” The Eldest Prince wanted to cry, if there were not too many people around, he wanted to kneel and beg Xiao Tianyao to let him go.

“Well, I don’t want to listen to that nonsense. If you can’t decide, I will decide for you.” Xiao Tianyao looked at the Eldest Prince impatiently. Seeing that the Eldest Prince was in a hurry, he couldn’t help shaking his head: “You are the leader of these people, but you can’t make a decision. How do you lead troops to the battlefield? How do you command thousands of troops?”

For generals, the most taboo was hesitation, but the most taboo of all was gaining their own benefits.

There were so many cheap things in this world, how can everything be satisfactory?

Where there was gain, there will be loss. What was gained was bound to be lost. Obsessing over the best of both worlds was unacceptable, and in the end, you may gain nothing.

“I, I…” After being reprimanded by Xiao Tianyao, the Eldest Prince was so anxious that he could not speak. He wanted to explain, but with the facts in front of him, no matter how he explained it, he would only appear powerless.

Xiao Tianyao ignored the Eldest Prince, half-closed his eyes, and looked indifferent.

“Imperial Uncle… …” The Eldest Prince looked at Xiao Tianyao eagerly, but there was nothing he could do. Xiao Tianyao ignored him until… …

“Wangye, it’s time for a stick of incense.” The guard reminded in a low voice.

“Imperial Uncle, this nephew…” In the end, the Eldest Prince finally made a decision, but Xiao Tianyao refused to give him a chance: “Send the Eldest Prince back to Prince Wen’s Mansion.”

Being sent back by elite soldiers, was obviously because he made a crime.

“Imperial Uncle, this nephew… didn’t make any mistakes.” The matter has come to this point, the Eldest Prince can only grit his teeth and bear it.

He cannot offend Xiao Tianyao and then offend the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou.

“It’s good that you know that benwang is your uncle.” As an elder, he wanted to teach his younger nephew a lesson, who dares to pick a mistake?

“Imperial Uncle, you are being unreasonable.” The Eldest Prince was furious: “I don’t agree.”

“Huh…” Xiao Tianyao mocked with a smile: “You’re reasoning with me? When did you become so naive?” Reason? Can people like them reason with people?

According to what?

The reasoning was only good when your fists were no match for others. But since his fist was bigger than the other party, what reason does he have to say?

“Imperial Uncle, you…” Knowing that begging for mercy was useless, the Eldest Prince gritted his teeth and wanted to order the people behind him to do it, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Tianyao say: “If I were you, I would not make a move. Do you think this mere hundred people can do anything to me? Ziwen, for the sake of calling me Imperial Uncle, I would like to give you a piece of advice. When cooperating with others, you must study your opponent. Don’t just jump in right after seeing the benefits, and look at yourself if you can get these benefits.”

He wanted to knock Xiao Ziwen’s head open to see. Where did he have the guts to lead troops to surround him?

Just based on something that he was doing unspeakable things in Hanfang Palace?

Even if he got evidence to prove that he was doing an unspeakable thing, so what?

Can he take him down, or does he have enough strength to do so?

How naive was he to think that the people he brought can take him down?

No need to mention hundreds of people, even all the forbidden army in the imperial palace and all the troops in the capital joined forces, they can’t take him down. Not to mention, he has more than 200,000 Jinwuwei soldiers outside the city.

“The winner is the king. Imperial Uncle is the best at chess. If this nephew loses, he loses. Why should Imperial Uncle make fun of the nephew?” The Eldest Prince was unwilling.

If Xiao Tianyao hadn’t taken out the imperial edict suddenly, he wouldn’t have lost.

“Idiot!” Xiao Tianyao shook his head in disappointment: “Why don’t you use your brain to think about it, why do you think the Empress made a bunch of promises for you to come forward instead of Zian or the Seventh Prince.”

“Of course, that’s because… …”
