Has the princess petted her husband today?

Chapter 93 The truth behind the marriage

Seeing the eighth prince's bewildered look, King An gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Second brother is useless. I asked you to marry me. I can't ask you for a high position."

The eighth prince was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously comforted King An first: "Second brother, don't say that, I came to marry because of my own will, so how can I blame you? Anyway, I'm married, so I don't know what kind of position I am. I don't care, second brother—it's already this time, so just tell me what happened!"

King An sighed, and the corners of his eyes and brows were a little irritated, "In that palace just now, what Yuan Xiaoming said was correct, in fact, we proposed the marriage, and we are weak."

The eighth prince had a faint guess in his heart, "The empress said just now that the border is in chaos... What's wrong with the border of Dongfang Kingdom? It's very troublesome, so I had to find an alliance with Tianyuan Kingdom, so I proposed the marriage?"

Unexpectedly, the pampered younger brother he had always protected could be so sensitive, Wang An looked at the Eighth Prince in disbelief.

"Lian'er, you guessed right. The border of Dongfang Kingdom has always been unstable. There is only a mountain between Ronglu Kingdom and Dongfang Kingdom, and the border is adjacent. It was fine in the past, but the newly enthroned King Ronglu is ambitious and restless. , has been trying to march towards the Eastern Kingdom. I have repeatedly harassed and tried at the border, but it was just a small matter before, and my father didn't pay much attention to it."

As he said that, a look of remorse and resentment appeared on his face, "Who knows when the border guards were bribed and quietly cooperated with the outside, and the border fell overnight, and the imperial city still didn't know it. Until the other party took over In the three cities, someone risked his life and sent an urgent [-] li to the capital."

The Eighth Prince stood up abruptly, and accidentally overturned the teacup on the table, and the tea was meandering and spilled all over the table.

Fortunately, King An reacted quickly and dodged, otherwise he would definitely be splashed all over.

If it was usual, he would definitely be angry, but now, he already felt ashamed of the Eighth Prince and was guilty, how could he get angry?
"Lian'er...Second brother really didn't hide it from you on purpose, it's just this matter—"

"Even if I know about it, I can't help you."

The Eighth Prince interrupted King An, and with a wry smile, he lowered his head and covered his red eye circles, "I understand, second brother needless to say... I just said that Dongfang Kingdom has always looked down on women from Tianyuan Kingdom to be in power. It turned out that there was such a reason for proposing marriage once in a while."

King An walked around the table, approached the Eighth Prince, and hugged him, "Cry if you want, Second Brother is here, this time, I'm afraid I will wrong you."

As he spoke, he stroked the eighth prince's hair, with a look of humiliation in his eyes.

If not, why would you send your younger brother to this place?

The Eighth Prince sighed silently, and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

Originally, I thought that when I got married and had Dongfang Guo's support, my life would not be too sad, but now that I am like this, my future can be predicted.

The two brothers hugged each other in silence, no one spoke anymore, the dull and oppressive air was suffocating.

After a long time, the eighth prince said in a low voice: "Second brother, other things are not important. If the marriage allows the Tianyuan Kingdom to send troops to help, it doesn't matter if I am a side servant. Use me alone, in exchange for a hundred years of worry-free border in Dongfang Kingdom. worth."

Upon hearing this, Wang An silently clenched his fists tightly.

　The eighth prince...well, unlucky boy
