Chapter 410 - 410 Putting Himself on the Line
410 Putting Himself on the Line
Who would dare say that spoiling a son, especially the Emperor’s son, a prince, to the point of lawlessness was a good thing?
Only his mother foolishly believed that his father treated them well.
“Your Highness, you mean…”
The guard did not understand what he meant and looked at him in confusion.
!!
“Shut up if you don’t understand. Don’t ask anything,” Prince De said to him coldly.
Ever heard of the phrase “curiosity killed the cat”? People who knew more often died younger. Hence, he decided to be a simple, arrogant, and tyrannical prince.
“If I can’t catch any fish today, I’ll roast and eat you!”
The guard was speechless.
What does this have to do with me? I know His Highness is just intimidating me, but I didn’t teach him how to fish. Can he not scare me like that?
“Your Highness, you can actually… go fishing somewhere else. You don’t have to fish here.”
“Get lost,” Prince De scolded him again.
I’m here now. So what? I’ll fish however I want, as long as Father’s men don’t catch me so quickly! I’ll be happy to sit here all day without catching a single fish!
…
In the palace, the Emperor was very unhappy.
He had sent people to look for Prince De yesterday, but the people who returned reported that they could not find him. He immediately thought that Prince De was hiding from him!
He sent people to look for him again, but they still could not find him. He a.s.sumed he had gone somewhere and had too much fun.
But having fun was one thing—he still had to go to the southern border! The Emperor could no longer allow Qian Jiyun to control half of the southern border. This was undoubtedly putting himself on the line.
He sighed heavily and looked at Eunuch Zheng.
“Have you found him?”
At the mention of this, Eunuch Zheng’s scalp tingled.
Prince De was really good at hiding. He had sent so many people to find him but had been unsuccessful. It was strange.
There were times when Prince De would hide after angering the Emperor. However, it was easy to find him each time. It would also not take long.
However, he was nowhere to be seen this time!
“Your Majesty, Prince De must have found good scenery somewhere and played for a while longer. I can’t find him yet,” he said reluctantly.
“Hmph!” The old Emperor snorted loudly.
What good scenery? If I can’t find him soon, I’ll make a scene out of that unfilial son one day!
“Continue sending people to search for him. Once you find him, tie him up and send him to the southern border!” he instructed.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Zheng replied.
I think you instructed me to do the same last time, right?
Prince Zhan Yun even dealt with Prince Sui. Why would he be afraid of Prince De? No wonder Prince De hid.
Besides, the Emperor wanted to send Prince De to the southern border. Although that was Daqing Kingdom’s territory, everyone knew it had already become Qian Jiyun’s.
It was just that no one dared to say that, and the Emperor refused to admit it.
“Is there still no news about that thing?” the old Emperor asked again.
“No news yet, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Zheng replied.
He was very calm now. He had been searching for this thing for many years. In the beginning, the Emperor had inquired about it between clenched teeth, but he was calm now. Being unable to find it had become the norm.
