Hearing the people chanting "Long live the Crown Prince, long live, long long live," Zhao Yao inexplicably felt his blood boiling. At this moment, he suddenly understood why his royal brothers were all vying to become the Crown Prince.
The Fourth Prince had been secretly observing Zhao Yao all along and, seeing his shocked expression, thought he was frightened by the crowd. He gently patted Zhao Yao's back, comforting him, "Don't mind them."
Zhao Yao looked blankly at the Fourth Prince, "Who does Fourth Brother say I shouldn't mind?"
"The people by the roadside," the Fourth Prince replied soothingly, "They aren't scary, don't be afraid of them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao blinked blankly at first, then he understood that the Fourth Prince had misunderstood him. He smiled at the Fourth Prince, "Fourth Brother, I'm not afraid of the people by the roadside, I just think Crown Prince Brother is so awe-inspiring."
"Awe-inspiring?"
