at this time.

The old eunuch felt that Emperor Xia was a little superior to the Ninth Prince.

This is really abnormal!

The old eunuch knew very well that Emperor Xia had murderous intentions towards the Ninth Prince, and under the Crown Prince's plan, the Ninth Prince almost froze to death in front of the imperial study room.

The emperor's murderous intention was once very firm.

But now.

It had only been two days since the Ninth Prince was driven out of the imperial capital.

The emperor's murderous intention towards the Ninth Prince seems to have weakened a lot!

What happened in the middle?

The old eunuch couldn't guess it!

He felt pain in his feet and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you also know that Erlong Mountain is the prince's stronghold outside the imperial capital. It not only supports bandits to rob, kill, and plunder property, but also allows the dead men of the East Palace to control the situation behind the scenes. There are people who support the East Palace there."

A small treasury for development.”

"So, Erlong Mountain has always been hoarding a lot of food and gold and silver treasures."

"This time, after the Ninth Prince destroyed Erlong Mountain, the Huangzhou Palace's convoy added a hundred carriages, which were captured on the mountain!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he made a silent calculation: "The prince has been deliberately operating that bandit village for ten years. The value of the supplies and money stored there should be no less than the prince's reward I just sent out!"

"Xiaojiu made a fortune this time!"

"However, according to the practice of the Great Xia court, half of the captures from the battlefield and the suppression of bandits will be kept in the army as rewards, and the other half must be handed over to the court."

"Xiaojiu didn't hand over a single coin?"

Jiuer became Xiaojiu again.

The old eunuch shook his head: "No!"

Emperor Xia was a little dissatisfied: "I was just praising him for his wisdom, courage, kindness and courtesy. I didn't expect that he would be confused when he saw a small amount of money. I am so disappointed!"

The old eunuch was stunned!

What does the emperor mean by this?

Was he disappointed that the Ninth Prince did not hand over the loot from the bandit suppression?

Meaning, what else does he expect from the Ninth Prince?

This is wrong!

Do people have expectations about the person they must kill?

Of course not!

If anything... just hope he dies!

Emperor, what exactly are you planning on the matter of the Ninth Prince?

It seems that it is not as simple as wiping out the royal bloodline of the previous dynasty!

The old eunuch became more alert!

Regarding the matter of the Ninth Prince, let's not take sides, just observe and observe.

A glint flashed in the old eunuch's eyes, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, you have wrongly blamed the Ninth Prince!"

"oh?"

Emperor Xia was stunned: "Old man, don't speak out of breath. If you have anything to do, just say it in one breath."

"yes!"

"Actually, the Ninth Prince did not take the capture of Erlong Mountain as his own!"

"He used the money and food seized from Erlong Mountain to help the poor people along the way. He saved countless people along the way."

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Is he trying to win people's hearts?"

"Do you want to imitate his brothers..."

Emperor Xia didn't finish his words.

However, a chill has enveloped the entire imperial study room.

The old eunuch felt cold all over and said quickly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood!"

"Did I misunderstand?"

"yes!"

"Isn't he trying to win over the people privately by doing this? His intention is to be punished!"

"Hehehe..."

The old eunuch tried to calm down the chill all over his body with a smile: "My Majesty!"

"When the Ninth Prince was helping the people along the way, he said that the money and food came from the imperial court. His Majesty was worried about the world and ordered him to go all the way to help the people. It was the great grace of His Majesty and the kindness of the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, seriously speaking, the Ninth Prince is here to save the world for you and to promote your reputation for benevolence and virtue!"

"He has made his father's name famous and should be rewarded!"

"I think this incident shows that he admires your majesty very much and respects the imperial court."

"Moreover, the most valuable thing is... every time he enters the village, the Ninth Prince puts his own effort into practice. He puts aside his status as a prince and carries food into the house with his subordinates. He is not afraid of hard work, which is touching!"

Having said that.

Emperor Xia couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Is this kid carrying food to save others?"

"yes!"

"Aren't you just pretending?"

"no!"

"Every time he enters the village, he is the same!"

A trace of doubt flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes: "Why is he doing this?"

"For fame?"

"The reputation was given to me and to the court, but he didn't have it!"

"Tuli?"

"He spent all the money and food he got from suppressing the bandits. How can there be any profit?"

Emperor Xia couldn't figure it out!

"Old man, what do you think Jiu'er wants?"

"Hey hey hey..."

The old eunuch smiled and guided: "Your Majesty, even though the Ninth Prince has spent all his money and food, he will not gain fame or fortune!"

"However, he accepted many orphans into the Huangzhou Palace along the way, and he also accepted many poor families into the Huangzhou Palace in various villages."

"These people will follow him all the way to Huangzhou to listen to him."

"The Ninth Prince rushed to the fiefdom as soon as he was crowned king. He only had a hundred or ten wounded soldiers at his disposal. There was no one available. It was really inconvenient."

"Now, if he recruits more people along the way, he will have someone available for him!"

This reason made Emperor Xia no longer have any grudges in his heart, and he said seriously: "Jiu'er is good!"

The old eunuch smiled, very proudly, but it was hidden deep in his eyes and could not be seen by outsiders.

At this time.

A cold light flashed in the old eunuch's eyes, and he said softly: "However, there are two guys who are not simple-minded. They had a wrong idea in the process of delivering the ceremony stand to the Ninth Prince."

Emperor Xia's eyes were full of sternness, and he said sternly: "The reward of the prince's title of king can only be enjoyed by my son...Bring those two bitches here!"

Dragons have reverse scales, and those who move will die.

Emperor Xia made his fortune by usurping the throne, and he was most taboo about these things.

"I want to see if these two bitches are blinded by money, or are they backed by someone behind them?"

At this time.

"Plop..."

The golden-armored guards carried Eunuch Gao and Hua Wujian into the house tied up, and threw them heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, they have been brought here."

Emperor Xia asked coldly: "Xiao Gaozi, you are so brave. You actually dare to team up with this piece of shit Hua Wujian to covet the reward from the King of Mohuangzhou. Who is instructing you?"

"Bang bang bang..."

Eunuch Gao kowtowed crazily, blood splattered: "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"It's all Deputy Commander Hua who blackmailed me!"

Hua Wujian also kowtowed frantically: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. His Highness the Crown Prince instructed me to do this. I was forced by the Crown Prince."

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia sneered again and again: "Here, Prince Xuan comes to the imperial study!"

"yes!"

Soon after.

The haggard-looking prince was taken into the royal study and paid homage: "See you, father!"

Then, the prince looked up and saw Hua Wujian, who was tied up with five flowers.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and his face turned pale.

Emperor Xia saw the prince's expression in his eyes and said coldly: "Hua Wujian, I have announced that the prince is here to confront you. If the prince is really the mastermind of this matter, I will only pass it down to the third generation of your Hua family and be given a lighter sentence."

"Otherwise, I will destroy your whole family!"

"Tell me, are you under the instructions of the prince?"

Hua Wujian nodded crazily: "Yes, it was the prince who ordered it!"

The prince was panic-stricken, his heart felt like he was in the underworld, and he felt like he had an urge to urinate.

He said in a panic: "Nonsense, I am not familiar with you, and I did not instruct you to covet the reward from the King of Mohuangzhou. Don't try to bite me randomly, otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Emperor Xia stared at the prince, his eyes full of disappointment: "Hua Wujian and I never mentioned the reward from King Huangzhou. How did you know that Hua Wujian would bite you?"

"Prince, you disappoint me so much!"

The prince was originally afraid of Emperor Xia, and now he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and could no longer hold back his urge to urinate: "Father, please listen to my sophistry... No, please listen to my child's explanation. It's really not true."

You have to believe my instructions, kid!"

"snort......"

Emperor Xia already knew: "Here comes someone!"

"exist!"

"Take Hua Wujian and Xiao Gaozi, these two bastards who were rewarded by the King of Huangzhou who are greedy for ink, drag them down to Lingchi and execute them, and tell the world!"

"I will never give mercy to someone who is greedy for the royal possessions!"

"yes!"

at this time.

The prince was like a frightened wild dog, lying on the ground trembling: "Father, spare my life!"

Emperor Xia ignored him and continued: "The prince misbehaved in the royal study. I will fine the prince's palace a salary of one year and donate one hundred thousand taels of silver to the king of Huangzhou to build the palace!"

"Prince, continue to be grounded."

"yes!"

The old eunuch took the order.

Emperor Xia then said to the prince: "You let me down so much!"

"Go back to the Crown Prince's Mansion and think about it...how to be the Crown Prince of my Daxia Kingdom?"

"If you dare to urinate in my study room again... you will not be punished lightly!"

"Get down!"

Emperor Xia pinched his nose, his disgust evident in his words.

The prince's eyes are bloodshot!

His heart was roaring ferociously: "Do you think this prince likes to be scared to death?"

"It's not like that stinky old Jiu Zhi was scared to the point of peeing for the first time, so he had a natural reaction of peeing when he was frightened!"

"Stinky Old Jiu, this prince and you have a sworn hatred!"

"This hatred lasts forever!"

at this time.

The golden-armored guards took the prince, Hua Wujian, and Eunuch Gao down together.

The prince just came back to his senses!

Hua Wujian became the scapegoat.

His father still protected him.

But, it seems like something has changed?

suddenly.

The prince was filled with doubts!

Didn’t his father secretly hint that he wanted him to kill Stinky Lao Jiu?

He should have the support of his father to deal with that stinking old Jiu!

But why?

Will his father kill Hua Wujian and suppress himself for this matter?

Why...use your own money to build a palace for Stinky Laojiu?

Does a prince who is destined to die need a palace?

The prince can’t figure it out!

Has the father changed his mind again?

The prince smelled the smell of urine on his body, and his heart ached: "Just now, what happened?"

"Has the stinky old nine been favored?"

"how so?"

"ah......"

The prince's heart was like glass, shattered into slag inside his body: "Smelly Old Jiu, no matter how hard you struggle, you will definitely die!"

"That saint will definitely suck you dry!"

"You wait!"

"Die to me..."
