Chapter 128 Brother, Don’t Be Sad
Shen Mingjue dragged Xue Zhong outside, his face was very bad, "You are too presumptuous, do you know that he is the prince? He is the emperor's brother. If you talk to him like this, he will write a letter to the emperor after he sobers up, and your career will be ruined."
Blown by the cold wind, Xue Zhong also calmed down a lot. He said nonchalantly: "But I care about you more! You may not believe me, but my biggest wish in this life is to have a family. Now Vice General Xue has given me a family, and with General Shen, I have never been so happy. I don't care about career, wealth and honor. He has nothing to threaten me."
"But, but it's not worth it for you to offend him for me." Shen Mingjue's eyes were red. He had not been treated as a human being in the music house for so long, so he knew how important family members were.
Xue Zhong held his hand that was chilled by the cold wind, "Brother, I know everything about you. When you were in the capital, the prince treated you well, and you listened to Master Wen and confessed your feelings to him. After being rejected, the prince only interacted with Master Wen... Why don't you think about whether this is what Master Wen wants, and wants to get rid of you."
"Impossible!" Shen Mingjue retorted without even thinking, "Young Master Wen is not that kind of person. If he was, why would he help me so much during the cold war between the prince and I? Why would he tutor me in my homework every day? If what you said is true, he would have succeeded by then, and there would be no reason for him to be close to me anymore." Shen Mingjue's eyes were slightly red and he sighed softly.
"Brother, don't be sad. It's my fault. But even if that's not the case, have you ever thought that maybe Master Wen also likes the prince? It's a bit hasty for him to ask you to confess before he has fully investigated the situation."
Shen Mingjue was surprised and said, "You said that Master Wen also likes the Prince? I didn't notice that. But since you reminded me, it seems that after every exam, the Prince would come to see Master Wen, and Master Wen must be the happiest at that time. But I just think that they are just friends, after all, Master Wen has never done anything radical."
"But even if it's true, and Master Wen likes the Crown Prince, I will compete with him fairly."
"Brother!" Xue Zhong said angrily: "That kind of person is not worth your doing this for! He is wavering between you and Master Wen. He is not a single-minded person. Besides, you also said that the prince goes back to pick him up after each assessment. Maybe they really love each other..."
"That's not the case." Shen Mingjue explained, "Master Wen's home is too far away, and Master Wen once stood guard at the tomb of the Concubine Dowager for three years, so it's understandable that he's close to the Crown Prince."
Xue Zhong was so disappointed that he said, "Then how should I explain what I asked him about the matter with Master Wen? Don't you want to hear the truth?"
Shen Mingjue looked tired. "It's not that I don't want to listen. I always feel that the prince is not heartless to me, but very affectionate. He often peeks at me and cares about me. I know all this, but I don't know why he doesn't agree to be with me. You don't know, the night he rejected me, I pushed him out of the door, and I was inside the door, watching his shadow linger for so long! And..."
He blushed a little, and a trace of shyness flashed between his eyebrows. "I broke the window paper at that time. I saw the prince crying. This means..."
"What does this prove?" Xue Zhong didn't understand: "Brother, stop making excuses! If he really likes you, how could he reject you? He must not like you that much, there must be something more important standing between you two!"
In this case, Shen Mingjue did not refute a single word.
He knew that Xue Zhong was right.
Gu Changfeng didn't particularly like him, otherwise he would definitely solve the problems between the two of them for him, and then be with him after solving them, instead of leaving him alone, choosing to get rid of his own emotions and forcibly changing them into brotherhood, and because of his impure heart, he came to secretly please him.
"Don't worry about it. I... I know all these things!" Shen Mingjue could no longer wear that mask. The bloody truth was laid out in front of him, but he still wanted to be stubborn. He was really blinded by greed.
Xue Zhong suddenly stopped talking because he found that his handsome brother seemed to be crying.
From the moment the young general followed General Shen to the border, he had seen many expressions of this handsome brother: confusion, wry smile, excitement, joy, anger, disappointment, but he had never seen him as sad as he was now.
Xue Zhong reached out his hand and gently wiped away Shen Mingjue's tears. This hurt his heart. He had never seen Shen Mingjue so out of control before. As a result, he could no longer utter those words, those naked truths and earnest advice.
He hugged Shen Mingjue into his arms, and the other's tears wet his shoulders.
"But I...I just like him..."
"He's the only one who doesn't care about my identity..."
Xue Zhong felt as if his heart was being grabbed, and all this was to blame on that promiscuous prince Gu Changfeng.
"..." Xue Zhong opened his mouth. He wanted to say, "Actually, I don't care. No matter whether you have been in the music house or not, no matter what you have done, no matter whether you have no choice or not, you are my brother and my family."
But he vaguely felt that he shouldn't say these words. Xue Zhongquan took it as comforting, hugged Shen Mingjue tightly, and patted his shoulders to comfort him.
