After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 180 The Night Before the Southern Tour

When Situ Yi returned, he felt something was amiss.

Such a thing is beyond human capability.

He sent people to investigate, and found that the recent changes in the Jia family were all related to this kid.

Now, Jia Hu has not only attracted the emperor's attention, but has also made the emperor go to great lengths to see him.

However, the one who ultimately benefits from all of this is his own elder brother, the Crown Prince.

My brother can't hear me, and neither can my nephew, so it's just me.

It's strange that I could hear this when I had no connection with Jia Hu.

He's definitely going this time too.

Firstly, he was worried about his nephew. Since his own brother wasn't with him and his nephew was so favored, he feared someone might try to harm him.

This is a gamble we can't afford to take. Right now, the Crown Prince only has this one child by his side.

The emperor favors him above all others, and this grandson has offended so many people who are envious.

Secondly, I need to get to know Jia Hu better. I really dislike this kind of untouchable matter, and I need to figure out why I can hear it, and what Jia Hu's abilities are.

Thirdly, I am now old enough, and although I may remain in the shadows, it is time for me to make my appearance.

Now that his brothers are eyeing his position as crown prince, it's time for him to step forward.

It was indeed uncomfortable for me to go to the emperor and put on those awkward and flattering gestures, but those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles; these are just superficial matters.

The Emperor is so old, how many more days does he have left? Just bear with it and it will pass. Right now, my brother is more important.

Why are you spacing out again?

Just after he finished speaking, the Crown Prince noticed that his younger brother had drifted off into thought again.

I don't know what he was thinking, his face was full of confusion.

"But you're unhappy?"

Brother, you may be saying things you don't like to hear. But the Emperor is still our father, and we should still show him some respect on ordinary days.

I know you've suffered injustices over the years, but you are the royal father and son, which is different from the father and son of ordinary families.

Since we live in such a family, we must have the responsibilities we should bear.

Brother knows you're only thinking of helping me.

But your brother also hopes you can be happy and not dwell on the past. I think that's what Aunt Fang would want to see.

The crown prince helplessly comforted his younger brother, saying the same thing many times before, but to no avail.

But he still insisted that he couldn't bear to see his younger brother fall into hatred and become hostile towards his own father.

Even an emperor couldn't tolerate someone being hostile to him, let alone his own son.

The Crown Prince originally thought that his younger brother's initiative to go to their father today meant that he had let go of the past, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Upon hearing his mother's name, a dark glint flashed in Situ Yi's eyes.

If it weren't for my elder brother, the Crown Prince, protecting and caring for me all these years, I would have died long ago.

Besides being his father, what else did the emperor do?

Yes! He did give him the identity of a prince, but if he weren't the crown prince, he would never have grown up!

And then there's his own mother, who was unwilling, but he himself was someone everyone was willing to have.

Doesn't the Emperor believe that his existence is solely a reminder of the mistakes of the past?

He deliberately chose to walk in front of him, constantly reminding him.

Make him regret it, make him realize that the most hopeless child back then turned out to be the most promising, even better than his other sons.

I'll take a good look at the expression on his face then.
