Chapter 385 The Prince Who Can Act
"The Long family was introduced by the Third Prince." Xiao Jiuyue had no intention of hiding it from Butler Jin. Butler Jin was an elder of the Xiao family. After the Xiao family got into trouble, Butler Jin had been busy running around for the Xiao family. There was nothing he couldn't know.
"Third Prince, why did you suddenly become a matchmaker?" Chief Steward Jin's eyes were also filled with confusion.
"Who knows? Perhaps they think the merchant can make money?" Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out the Third Prince's purpose. "I have to say, the merchant's cloth is indeed exquisitely made. The brocade they made this time is not only beautiful in color, but is in no way inferior to the best brocade in Shengjing!"
After Manager Jin left, he always felt something was wrong.
But Lian Xin behind Xiao Jiuyue was hesitant to speak. Xiao Jiuyue turned around and said, "Lian Xin, if you want to get married now, I agree!"
"If the young lady doesn't marry, I won't marry either." Lian Xin had been teased so many times that, apart from blushing a little, she could still answer calmly: "Young lady, is it possible that Shang Yifan hasn't married yet?"
"..." Xiao Jiuyue thought: How is this possible? Shang Yifan is getting married, how can he marry the county magistrate's daughter?
Lianxin looked at Xiao Jiuyue’s beautiful face. Doesn’t the young lady know that the Third Prince likes her?
This time, Shang Yifan followed the young lady to Xiangcheng and met the Third Prince. Could it be that the Third Prince directly cut off Shang Yifan's idea?
…
Shengjing.
"I'm rich! This time, I really made a lot of money!"
Guo Sheng excitedly returned to the base of the Anbu, which was hidden deep in the mountains. Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, they moved iron ore all night. The quantity was so large that they could do a lot of things.
There were also treasures secretly transported away from the Eighteen Villages. What was left were some worthless jewels, and not a penny of silver was left!
"This, this is the silver from selling salt?" Guo Sheng had just put the silver away. When he saw the silver sent by the salt seller, Guo Sheng was completely stunned. He fell to the ground and said, "Guo Yang, you are right. Miss Xiao is the God of Wealth!"
Fengchunlou makes money by selling salt, which doesn't require much effort, and the money comes in like a torrent.
"Huh, you only realize it now?" Guo Yang glanced at him and said, "Even if you reflect on your actions now, you still have to endure the fifty sticks and the cliff of regret."
"Go ahead and hit me. I'm blind." After Guo Sheng confirmed that he was indeed wrong, he brought a bench and came to get beaten. As long as he could help his master, he was not afraid of being beaten. He hugged the bench and turned back to say, "Brother, will Miss Xiao anger the master because of my disrespect for her?"
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
"Father, I asked someone to survey the iron mine. It contains a lot of iron. Unfortunately, one-fifth of it has been dug up by others." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince excitedly talked about how the iron mine was discovered, but was disappointed that one-fifth of it had been dug up by others.
"Well done." The majestic emperor smiled. Although only one-fifth of the iron ore had been mined, the reserves were very large and he was in a good mood!
With iron ore, more weapons can be produced. By then, South Vietnam will be strong in both military and military power. Who will dare to bully South Vietnam?
Can a peaceful and prosperous era be far behind?
By then, Emperor Jing of Nanyue will be a wise ruler whose reputation will last forever!
"It is my son's honor to share my father's worries." The prince was in a good mood. Even the prime minister's grandfather praised her for her luck. She wiped out the bandits in the Eighteen Villages and discovered the iron mine!
This is a great achievement.
"Father." The prince suddenly sighed again and knelt down.
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered but he said nothing.
The prince knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. Jun Lie was stunned. He had never thought that the prince was such a good actor. He looked so wronged, and it was as if he was crying for real.
"Father, I am useless. I came to Donglin County with the intention of sharing your worries and the worries of the people in Nanyue. Father loves the people like his own children and he certainly cannot bear to see the people suffering." The prince said with a sob. Forget it, the words taught to him by the prime minister's grandfather were not as good as what he thought himself.
"I was thinking of asking people to suppress the bandits, but who knew that those bandits were so rampant that they actually sent assassins to assassinate me." The prince described it vividly.
Emperor Jing slammed the table and said, "Those bandits are too rampant! Behead them all!"
"Father, it's a blessing that my third brother sacrificed himself to save me. Otherwise, you might not be able to see your son again." The prince pulled Jun Lie, who was standing by as a backdrop, over and said, "The arrow hit my third brother's chest. It was just a little bit away. I'd have died. Those assassins also used poison!"
"Fortunately, it took a lot of medicine to detoxify it." The prince said with deep emotion.
Emperor Jing's eyes fell on Jun Lie. Even though Jun Lie had won the favor of the Queen Mother and came out of the cold palace, Emperor Jing had never looked at this son seriously. Now, his eyes revealed... reminiscence.
Concubine Rou, the woman who dares to love and hate, is different from all the concubines in the palace.
Unfortunately, she died in a fire.
"Jun Lie." Emperor Jing opened his lips slightly and stared at Jun Lie's eyebrows. His pair of Fuxi's phoenix eyes, with a cold and aloof charm, were exactly the same as Concubine Rou's.
"Father." Jun Lie lowered his eyes.
"You're very caring towards your brother, that's good." Emperor Jing praised him and said to the Crown Prince who was still sobbing beside him, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to court with the Crown Prince."
"Thank you, father." The prince happily glanced at Jun Lie. Being able to attend the court meant that Jun Lie's identity was recognized. In the future, he would be able to do more things, and his identity as a prince would no longer be embarrassing!
"Thank you, Father."
Compared with the prince's excitement, the real protagonist Jun Lie was very calm.
Until the prince and Jun Lie left, Emperor Jing's gaze fell on Jun Lie's last departing back. He was obviously a man, but his profile looked very much like Concubine Rou.
Soon, a secret guard appeared in the imperial study, and Emperor Jing ordered, "How is the investigation into the Crown Prince's assassination going?"
The secret guard respectfully took out the evidence he had found.
Emperor Jing was furious and smashed an inkstone.
…
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I'll protect you once we get to the court." Tears still hung on the Crown Prince's eyelashes, but a smile played on his lips. He said, "I heard there was a miracle doctor in Donglin County before, but I haven't been able to find him. How about I introduce you to a doctor?"
"You are not young anymore, how can you live without a child?" The prince looked at Jun Lie sincerely.
"Thank you for your kindness, big brother. The master said that I am not suitable to get married at the age of 25." Jun Lie lowered his eyes. Before the Xiao family was rehabilitated, he must be sick!
"Thank you, big brother, for speaking well of me to our father today." Jun Lie had just finished speaking when the prince said happily, "We are brothers. You saved my life. Besides, it was you who discovered the iron mine!"
His father had never praised him so much before and gave him many rewards. Even the prime minister and his grandfather praised him. He said, "Come on, my elder brother will treat you to a drink today!"
