At the Xixia Imperial court, Asheng stood at the front of his many brothers in princely attire. He looked completely different from six months ago, his spirits and appearance rejuvenated.

While the King of Xixia hadn't arrived yet, the eldest prince walked over.

"The thirteenth brother is truly imposing now, able to stand in front of the older brothers."

"This seat, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to stand on it."

A-sheng, no, now he should be called Hersheng.

Since she regained her status and returned to the palace, Fang Jinshi had almost never called him "Asheng" again.

The past A-sheng is gone, even though privately Hel Sheng pleaded with Fang Jinxiu not to be so clear, just to behave like before, Fang Jinxiu just nodded and smiled.

But some things can never go back to the way they were.

If Ah Sheng were still the deceased prince, there would be no conflict of interest between them. They could joke about anything and get along casually.

Now that he has regained his status as the Prince of Xixia, everything he says and does seems to be at odds with hers. Some things don't need to be stated explicitly, and she doesn't want to hurt Asheng's feelings, so she can only take it slow.

Because she would eventually leave him and West Xia, this place would ultimately still be Hershel's stage alone.

"Whether I can stand steady or not is my own concern, so you don't need to worry about it, big brother."

"Now, Big Brother, I hear you secretly withdrew the border troops and sent them back to Xili. Father hasn't said anything yet. Big Brother, isn't this a bit presumptuous"

The eldest prince's face stiffened, and he said angrily, "Your Majesty had already ordered this matter. How dare I disobey"

"Thirteenth brother, you should differentiate your words."

Herlsing smiled contemptuously.

Back then, Hellie killed the only nanny who had been kind to him through the hands of the Grand Prince. He had lost his mother at a young age and in this vast palace, all he felt were cold words. The only warmth and heat came from the nanny.

He still remembers the look on the old woman's face when she died right in front of him. Every time he saw the crown prince's face, the image of his grandmother's death flashed vividly in his mind.

She was originally an insignificant palace maid, whom no one paid any attention to, let alone worthy of a prince's own hands to kill.

It was because he dared to contradict Herr Lieutenant with a single word that the old woman pleaded for her own life. These two heartless beasts then killed her in front of him, torturing her corpse mercilessly just to see his impotent fury.

These, Herrsch from never dared to forget.

Today, he is no longer the timid and insignificant Thirteenth Prince of yore. He is now the most beloved, trusted, and relied-upon Thirteenth Prince by his father.

Why can these two people still fight him.

If Big Brother is in the right, he naturally has nothing to fear from what I say.

"Is that so"

He Sheng had learned a deadly skill from Fang Jinxiu during this time. He hadn't mastered anything else, but he was incredibly good at infuriating people to death.

He satirized the eldest prince for overstepping his bounds. Although the emperor did have the intention of withdrawing troops, he had not issued an imperial decree. Despite this, the eldest prince was able to mobilize the border army and withdraw them to Xili. Any sovereign who witnessed this would surely be displeased.

Unfortunately, the boss is now trying to impress his father and has become flustered. In the past, the eldest prince would never have made such a low-level mistake.

This was largely thanks to Sister Jinxiu using this time to treat officials, including imperial relatives and prominent figures from various noble families. Especially when treating female patients, she couldn't help but have a few casual conversations.

This casual chat is a way to learn about many people's private affairs.

They simply make slight use of it, stir up a little bit of trouble, and then discreetly spread the message around. Finally, they unintentionally amplify the dissemination of information.

Well, Ms. Jinxiu is right. Some battlefields are fought without bloodshed. The power of language is comparable to swords and guns on the battlefield, killing without a drop of blood.

The eldest prince couldn't keep himself pure, leaving behind a pile of little weaknesses. Accumulated over time, coupled with his intentional or unintentional revelations of ambition, if the King of Xixia really went there, all these preparations he made were for rebelling and usurping the throne. It can be said that he was well-prepared.

Unfortunately, Fang Jinshi appeared. Not only did she not let King Xi Xia die as they wished, but she made him look even more vigorous. This is not the scene that most princes would want to see.

After all, as long as the old emperor doesn't die, how can these little ones ascend to power

"Thirteenth Prince, after all, the eldest prince is your elder brother. This kind of disrespectful speech towards his elder brother is not what His Majesty would want to see."

"Your Majesty still prefers that you brothers remain harmonious."

The man speaking out is one of the powerful ministers in Xixia, and his tone clearly shows he's on the side of the crown prince.

Helsing remembered Fang Jinshi's words.

"When a dog barks, it means you've really stepped on their sore spot."

"So it's He, the Minister of Personnel. Minister He, please don't casually slander and accuse this prince, okay My relationship with my older brother is excellent."

"Big brother reminded me to stand firm, and I reminded big brother that doing things should follow the rules. Aren't we just helping each other What does it mean to disrespect elders"

"Your Highness, I'm still young and timid. Minister He, please don't scare me. Otherwise, I'll have nightmares at night, and if my father sees that I'm exhausted, well... I'm not good at lying, so I'll just tell the truth."

"Those who know the situation naturally understand that He Shusheng is concerned for this prince and giving advice. Those who are unaware might think that He Shusheng is helping the elder brother bully this prince."

He Shangshu's face turned crimson when he heard this, and he pointed at Hesheng.

"You! Thirteenth Highness, you're truly eloquent. Going out and coming back, you've grown quite a bit."

He Shangshu's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth at He Sheng, thinking to himself, "This kid wasn't like this before. How come after barely escaping death, his tongue became so sharp"

It seems I underestimated this boy before. His timid and cautious demeanor in the palace must have been an act all along.

The eldest prince, supporting the indignant Master He, walked away. Hesheng turned around with a calm expression, but his eyes flashed coldly for a moment.

He wouldn't be who he is today without you.

Every single person in the Xixia imperial palace, every minister on this court, hasn't ridiculed him or bullied him

"His Majesty has arrived!"

With the eunuch's shrill cry, the officials hurriedly straightened their attire and bowed to greet the emperor. Hel Sheng also lowered his head at this time, concealing the sharpness in his eyes.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"

The Western Xia king wore a radiant smile today, his brow creased with happiness.

"My lords, please take your seats."

"Thirteen, come here."

The Western Xia emperor immediately called out for the 13th prince to come forward. His attitude was so warm and courteous, it was truly enviable to all the other princes.

Some hide their jealousy deep within, some have cold eyes, and some just treat it as a joke.

Who doesn't know that the Thirteenth Brother regained His Majesty's favor and trust thanks to that son-in-law from the Wang family And that son-in-law, he used to be a wandering physician. He's said to be thirty-three years old, but anyone who sees him in person would be taken aback by his appearance.

Now that Fang Jinshu is married, he can't afford to have a haggard and disheveled look anymore because Wang Xiaqin makes him shave every day.county town.
