Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian was confident, and said calmly: "Miss Sima wants to see if I...are as weak and incompetent as the legend says, as timid as a mouse."

"You want to know more... I know that asking to marry you is a dead end, why do I still do it?"

Sima Lan was a little surprised, and there was a little contempt in her beautiful eyes: "Why?"

Xia Tian restrained her smile, and stood in awe: "Put it to death and come back to life!"

"Instead of lingering in the palace, like a pig being fed in a pen by farmers, life and death can't be controlled by oneself, how about getting out of the palace and gaining a chance?"

"Give me liberty or give me death!"

Sima Lan's eyes sparkled brightly: "Give me freedom or give me death...that's really good!"

"So, this is all in your plan?"

"Yes!"

At this time.

The look of contempt in Sima Lan's eyes became even less: "Last night, the imperial decree for granting marriage arrived at Prime Minister Zuo's mansion. My father wanted to resist the marriage on the spot, but I stopped him. Guess why?"

"Hehehe..."

Holding Xia Zhizhu in his hands, he smiled faintly: "Because, resisting the decree is the worst policy!"

"You have a better way, you can not become my bride!"

Sima Lan's shocked pretty appearance is also very beautiful... her eyes are fixed, she is stunned, and her small cherry mouth is slightly opened, which can hold two quail eggs.

According to rumors in the imperial capital, the Ninth Prince is a nerd with no understanding of the world!

Now it looks more like a man of great wisdom and foolishness!

After a while.

Sima Lan woke up with a start, bit her red lips lightly, and asked with a complicated mood, "What method do you think?"

Xia Tian stared at her smart eyes: "Drag the word formula, drag it until I die!"

"You think I can't walk to the fief alive!"

"Or, even if I can walk to the fief alive, in front of the vicious army of Sirius, I will still be slaughtered as a lamb, and I won't live long!"

"As long as I die, you will be able to regain your freedom. Maybe...you can also use this to escape the political marriage of the Sima family and choose the life you want."

Sima Lan was shocked again!

Can he read minds?

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian smiled unrestrainedly: "I have read your poems and essays, the meaning of free and easy, the yearning for freedom is contained in every word."

"Between the world and the world, there is no distinction between black and white... Isn't that your favorite sentence?"

Speaking of this, Xia Tian stared at Sima Lan's beautiful eyes, and paused word by word: "The most important thing is...you...are...unwilling!"

"You don't want to be an exchange of benefits!"

"You don't want to be an accessory of power!"

"You want to be yourself!"

"My lord, this is your only chance to be free."

Sima Lan was told about the central matter, so she couldn't help muttering to herself: "Am... am I unwilling?"

Yes.

She was unwilling.

I am not reconciled to the uselessness of what I have learned!

If you can't do a career like a man, you can only be trapped in the palace and be a bird in a cage.

Make a beautiful plaything!

The contempt in Sima Lan's eyes disappeared, and she looked straight at Xia Tian!

The one who understood her turned out to be this legendary useless prince who was destined to die.

now.

The sun rises from the horizon.

Under the rising sun, a stunningly beautiful young girl stares at a handsome young man infatuatedly, like a pair of golden boys and girls, the picture is astonishingly beautiful.

Sima Lan's heart is in turmoil!

She stretched out her jade hand, smoothed the messy hair around her ear, and parted her red lips lightly: "Your Highness, Prince Huang, do you know what the fiefdom of Huangzhou looks like?"

Xia Tian nodded: "Know!"

"Great Xia Kyushu, the Great Barren State is the smallest!"

"And it is located in the far west. Most of the state is barren mountains and wild mountains. Eighty percent of the land is covered by forests. Miasma and poisonous insects are everywhere. The environment is extremely harsh. Throughout the ages, it has always been a place for exiled prisoners from various dynasties!"

"The folk customs there are tough, and there are many ethnic minorities. They set up their villages on dangerous peaks and mountains. They are barbaric and brutal. They often turn from people into bandits. There are many killings of officials in the Great Barren State!"

"It's only been 20 years since the founding of the Great Xia, and 20 state officials who went to work in the Great Barren State have died."

"So, to become an official in the Great Barren State, you are either dead... or on the way to death."

Speaking of this, Xia Tian frowned slightly: "In recent years, the imperial court has exiled some criminal officials to manage the Great Barren State. As a result, the officials and bandits there have become a bad land."

"The emperor and the prince think that even if I go to the Great Barren State, I won't live long!"

"Because the hatred for the imperial court in the heart of the people in the wilderness will kill me!"

Sima Lan smiled slightly: "Since you know this... aren't you afraid?"

"Hahaha......"

Xia Tian looked at the rising sun with a smile: "Will it be useful?"

"I'm afraid, these things won't happen?"

"Afraid, can you survive?"

Sima Lan shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid not!"

Xia Tian asked back: "Then why should I be afraid?"

"Chuckles..."

Sima Lan smiled sweetly, like a flower blooming, it was so beautiful: "If you think about it this way, you really don't have to be afraid!"

"His Royal Highness really has great wisdom!"

Xia Tian is very modest: "Miss praises you!"

"What else do you know about the barren state?"

It could be seen that Sima Lan had been testing him.

Xia Tian knew it well: "There are no counties in the Great Wilderness State, only a state city. According to the latest statistics of the 20th year of the Great Xia Kaiyuan, there are only 1 permanent residents in the state city, with a population of [-], which is equal to other states... ... from a county."

"Of course, those prisoners who were exiled to the barren state don't count!"

"If counted, there are about 2 people."

Sima Lan put her hands behind her back, put her toes on her toes, and asked again delicately: "Then do you know why the population of the Great Barren State is so small?"

Xia Tian's eyes suddenly turned sad: "I know a thing or two."

"The main reason is... the Great Barren State is bordered by the Sirian Empire. Every year, the army of the Sirian Empire will invade the territory of the Great Barren State to loot and take the captured civilians back to the grassland as slaves. They call us Great Xia people two-legged sheep, Wanton killing."

"People in the Great Barren State have always lived in the shadow of death."

"The current peace and prosperity of Great Xia has nothing to do with them!"

Sima Lan blinked her beautiful eyes, and suddenly asked: "If you enter the Great Barren State alive... what will you do?"

Xia Tian's eyes were firm, his fists clenched tightly, and his voice shook the sky: "I will pledge myself to the territory, and anyone who violates my territory - kill!"

"Those who bully my people - kill!"

"Whoever rapes my sister - kill!"

"If you humiliate my people, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

"Kill my people, even if they are strong, they will be killed!"

Killing three times and punishing him twice shows Xia Tian's responsibility and attitude as the king of the barren state.

Sima Lan's beautiful eyes shine...he is such an ambitious person!

suddenly.

Xia Tian asked directly: "Miss Sima, if I guard the barren state well and make the people of the barren state rich, will you marry me willingly?"

Sima Lan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were watery: "A man's mouth, you deceitful ghost, when you do it... come and ask me again!"

"However, His Royal Highness Prince Huang, now, I am willing to go to the Great Wilderness State with you."

"You are alive, I will accompany you for a walk!"

"If you die, I will return to the imperial capital, and I will not enter your Xia family, nor will I be a widow for you!"

Sima Lan admitted...he was curious about this man.

He is not the timid and cowardly person in the rumors.

But a prince who is full of wisdom, can understand her, and has lofty ambitions.

She wants to accompany her along this road.

Summer breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the Sima family's murderous intentions have finally been eliminated, and he can focus on dealing with the emperor and prince!

Xia Tian smiled brightly: "Thank you!"

Sima Lan is not only the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, but also the most talented woman in the imperial capital. Hearing this, she knew what she meant: "I hope His Royal Highness will not disappoint Lan'er!"

She raised her handkerchief and shook it three times, which seemed to be some sort of signal.

Immediately.

In the woods outside the city, a group of dead soldiers from the Sima Mansion charged with murderous intent...
