Sitting cross-legged on the rug, he took a sip of tea from the teacup next to his hand.

Then there was a sigh.

"As one wishes……"

Uncle called me softly, and then fell silent.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "When I succeeded to the throne, it was really a last resort."

I heard my uncle's words, but I thought about it.

In the past, my uncle or my living mother would never mention these things to me. Even if I asked about it, they had to change the topic. But now after so many years, I don’t know why my uncle suddenly mention it.

Uncle sat cross-legged, with his hands on his knees, his back slightly bent, in a very relaxed posture.

I didn't look carefully before, but now I suddenly found that there were a few strands of silver on my uncle's sideburns at some point.

Uncle is getting old.

His uncle said that he succeeded to the throne as a last resort.Because I know that my uncle's thoughts were not at all above the struggle for imperial power back then.

If my uncle chooses, I think he will definitely choose to be an idle prince.

Uncle stared at the clean marble floor in the warm pavilion, on which was reflected the bright sunlight coming in through the prismatic windows.

The dappled light and shadow of the sun seemed to bring people back to the past. Uncle talked about the past.

"Back then, Huang Jie and I were not favored because our biological mother died young. At that time, I was always an idle prince, and Huang Jie was hastily married to the old Fu family..."

Uncle narrates about his and his mother's childhood, he doesn't use "zhen" but "I".I sat in the present moment and listened.

Uncle said that originally he and my mother were content with the situation at that time, because although uncle was just an idle prince who was not favored, he did not worry about food and clothing.

As for the mother, the fate of a princess is nothing more than marriage.

But there was one thing that changed the path that uncle and mother would take in the future.

One day that year, my uncle went out drinking with some friends at night and returned late at night.But on the way home, he met an assassin.

My uncle is kind and kind by nature, and has never had any grudges with anyone, and he doesn't discuss the political affairs of the court, so he can't threaten anyone's interests at all.

Although those assassins failed to kill my uncle, my mother found out through a secret investigation later that the assassin turned out to be my eldest uncle, who was sent by the prince back then.

And that night, my second uncle, who was the second prince back then, died violently in the prince's mansion.

Even though the prince is in the reserve position, he is afraid that these princes will threaten his status one day, so he sent someone to assassinate him.

The uncle was lucky enough to escape, but the second prince was not so lucky, and died in the assassination of the eldest prince.

It was because of this incident that the mother and uncle were terrified, but back then, the mother was just a married princess, and the uncle was an idle prince with no power, so the two could not fight the crown prince head-on.

Then it happened that there was a war in Borderlands at that time, and my mother volunteered in front of my grandfather and asked my father to lead the army.

My father is a military general, and this matter is also in line with my grandfather's wishes.

But the day failed, the mother forbears father's concubine and childbirth at the border, just because father has military power, but she doesn't want father to die in battle suddenly.

Even if the mother hates the father, but the father is there, the mother and uncle still have a little dependence, but the father is dead, the mother is even more worried
