Xia Jian leaned back in his chair as he went over his memory of his youngest brother.
"My brother Wu Zhi has always been quiet, though most of us can tell he wants to achieve great things"
"So you think he would covet the throne?" Sheng Tian asked.
To this, Xia Jian shook his head, "Why would he? I mean while he is quite capable, my eldest brother is too. Wu Zhi never said he wanted the throne, so that shouldn't be a problem"
Sheng Tian secretly sighed at the Second Prince's naivety, 'But he never said he didn't want the throne, did he?'
Xia Jian continued, "Most likely, when my father passes and my eldest brother is crowned, my youngest brother will be nurtured to govern over some provinces. He has shown some interest in governing after all"
'That's such a red flag,' Sheng Tian thought.
Sheng Tian sipped his spirit wine as if everything about this conversation was normal.
