709 Fortune-telling (6)

In the past, everyone was polite to Prince Ding. Now, everyone looked at Fu Xiuyi warily. In a short period of time, Fu Xiuyi had made too many enemies for himself.

After Fu Xiuyi became the common target of his brothers, the first person he looked for was the crown prince.

Whether Fu Xiuyi was sincere or not, the crown prince was a soft-hearted person. He was very kind and was the easiest to deceive.

Just like at this moment, he did not mock or hit Fu Xiuyi when he was down. Instead, he comforted him.

Fu Xiuyi smiled and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you.”

“Me?” The crown prince was a little puzzled. “What about me?”

“Everyone is fighting to the death now. You are clearly the most rightful heir, but you are being overshadowed by them. It’s not a good sign.” Fu Xiuyi smiled bitterly. “Initially, I didn’t want to participate in this competition and deliberately avoided it. I didn’t expect to still be dragged into this mess. In that case, I might as well take the initiative to join. I plan to support you.”

The crown prince was stunned, as if he did not expect Fu Xiuyi to say that. He smiled bitterly at first, then shook his head and said, “Ninth Brother, I know you said that out of kindness, so thank you. It’s just that… you also know my situation. If I’m strong and healthy, I will naturally compete. However, with my health, whether I can live or not is already a problem. As for the throne… I’ll leave it to fate.” At the end of his sentence, he actually sounded hopeless.

“Brother, don’t say that. You’re the eldest among us. Logically speaking, you should be the future ruler of Ming Qi. If you give it away, I’m afraid people will laugh at Ming Qi for not following the rules.”

“But I really don’t have much ability.” The crown prince was a little disheartened. “The officials don’t want to side with me because they know I don’t have long to live. There aren’t many of my former followers left. You asked me to compete for the throne, but other than being the crown prince, what else do I have to compete with them?”

When Fu Xiuyi heard this, he poured a glass of wine for himself and the crown prince. He picked it up and took a sip. “So at this time, what you need is a powerful aide.”
