Chapter 627: Forgot to Bring His Brain Along
Finally, the ministers had come to their senses.
So be the daughter of a bandit. At least there was nothing wrong with that girl.
The Crown Prince smiled. “Alright, I’ll do as you say. However, since you’ve chosen this person, don’t stir troubles in the future. If you’ll be calling all of the shots, I’ll feel tired on your behalf.”
The ministers who had always opposed the Crown Prince were trembling with anger.
How many times had it been?!
Every time they argued with the Crown Prince, they could not win!
Their feelings for the Crown Prince were very complicated.
In terms of talent, capability, and even magnanimity, the Crown Prince was the best out of the five princes in the current dynasty.
Although he was not close to his brothers, he had never been afraid of them. No matter how much he quarreled with them, when faced with the Fourth and Fifth Prince, he behaved the same. He was indifferent.
Otherwise, with the way the emperor doted on the Crown Prince, those two princes would probably be suppressed by the emperor until they could not raise their heads.
Before the Crown Prince was 12, there was not a single person in the court who was dissatisfied with his position as the Crown Prince.
Even the Fourth Prince’s camp was obedient and did not dare to fight for it!
Almost everyone thought if the Crown Prince ascended the throne one day, the world would definitely be more prosperous!
They also did not expect that the Crown Prince’s arm would be injured so badly.
Throughout history, no disabled prince had ascended the throne.
It had been the rule since the beginning of time.
Moreover, if the current emperor was disabled, would the other countries not look down on them as well?
If they wanted to get rid of the Crown Prince, would they not be heartbroken at all?
…
The Crown Prince asked them to retreat at the moment.
Perhaps because the Crown Prince wanted to marry a wife, the emperor was in a good mood. He did not say that he would beat or punish them.
The emperor was not in a hurry to issue an order. Instead, he first called the people from the directorate of astronomy and the Ministry of Rites over.
At that moment, Zhao Xuzhi had already been brought away. The imperial physician stopped the bleeding first. Although this person had lost a lot of blood, he was still alive. He was locked in the cell and fainted until evening. He finally woke up.
The intense pain almost tore his heart apart. Zhao Xuzhi looked at his empty right arm and howled!
However, no one outside looked at him!
“Call my Father! Y-You quickly go to Prince Ning Bei’s residence to pa.s.s the message!” Zhao Xuzhi had never been so fl.u.s.tered before. When he saw the warden walking over, he immediately shouted.
He had nowhere to put his other hand. He wanted to touch his wound, but the pain made both his hands tremble non-stop.
There was almost no color on his face. His initially good-looking face was now in a sorry state with no redeeming features at all.
The warden sighed.
All these years, the prison that was specifically responsible for the imprisonment of the royal family was almost empty.
There was no other reason. Even the disciples of the royal family would behave obediently. The emperor seemed to be lenient, but he was very reasonable.
When the emperor reasoned, if the royal family made a mistake, the outcome would be terrible.
A few years ago, the emperor’s younger brother and his uncle were travelling outside the city. The two of them actually rode their horses in the busy city and killed a person alive. That person was only an elementary scholar, but this matter was brought to the imperial palace.
The emperor was furious and wanted to punish the two of them heavily.
As the two of them were the emperor’s relatives, no matter how severe the punishment, it would not harm their lives.
It was nothing more than self-reflection, penalization, and compensation for the victims.
However, that old uncle was too arrogant. He even boasted shamelessly in the imperial court.
The emperor was angry, so he executed the person directly!
In the entire Qianyuan, it was the first time a royal relative was given a death penalty!
As for that young prince, since he was young and ignorant, the emperor did not take his life back then. Instead, he was forced to live on the fiefdom. For so many years, he was not summoned to the capital once.
Who would have thought there would be another person who would do that same? It was the son of Prince Ning Bei.
When this child was born, did he forget to bring his brain along with him?
