Chapter 353: Very Dissatisfied
Seeing Song Zichuan's unusually ugly face, the Fourth Prince thought he was just worried about his own plan:
"Don't worry, if you insist on taking the imperial examination, this prince will naturally lend you a helping hand."
"As long as you don't mention that you went to the small village in the future, the prince won't make things difficult for you during the imperial examination."
"What's more, the reason you were driven out was also because of the first wave of people."
"You didn't make any mistakes yourself, and you didn't disobey discipline, how can they blame you?"
These words were spoken by the Fourth Prince, but Song Zichuan didn't hear a word of them.
Compared to the Fourth Prince's simple words, Song Zichuan, who was guilty of being a thief, would never dare to think that things were so simple.
It was strange enough that the crown prince investigated this matter out of nowhere and dragged himself out.
Also, why did Uncle Qian, who had always been on good terms with him, look at him like that today?
Song Zichuan knew what he had done, but the Fourth Prince didn't know.
Thinking about Zhu Xuntao, who was now so brilliant, she didn't seem to be the kind of girl who was easily fooled.
In fact, after seeing the poem on his kite, Zhu Xuntao didn't react at all,
as if she wouldn't have any amorous feelings.
Zhu Xuntao was not only exceptionally calm that day, but the look in her eyes when she looked at him was so deep that he felt scared. The more
he thought about it, the more worried Song Zichuan became.
He felt more and more that all his little thoughts that day had been seen through by Zhu Xuntao.
It was because of this that
Song Zichuan was afraid that the emperor came to the village that day. He loved to show off. He wanted to stand out, but he
suppressed his ambition and hid in the crowd. He didn't get close to Uncle Qian at all, so as to leave an impression on the emperor.
It was because Zhu Xuntao was beside him at that time.
Song Zichuan was afraid that he would be recognized by Zhu Xuntao and cause trouble for her.
He didn't even dare to offend Uncle Qian, so how could he offend Zhu Xuntao.
Even if he couldn't win Zhu Xuntao's favor and let her say a few good words for him in front of the emperor,
at least he must not provoke Zhu Xuntao's disgust when she only had a bad impression of him.
At this time, Song Zichuan began to wonder if the reason why he was driven out of the small village
was related to Zhu Xuntao?
As for anything related to the small village, the prince could be described as obedient to Zhu Xuntao.
This...
"Well, no matter how much you think, it won't change anything."
"Since you have made up your mind and don't want to miss this year's imperial examination, then go back and prepare well, and don't waste time in a daze."
The frustrated fourth prince's tone became impatient.
Instead of showing fear in front of him, it is better to read a few more pages of books, recite a few more poems or write a few more articles.
What's the use of just staring at him?
Can he help Song Zichuan become the top scholar or something?
Hearing the fourth prince's sarcastic remarks, Song Zichuan suddenly woke up and
quickly said that he would go back to his room and study hard, and would never let down the fourth prince's high expectations.
Song Zichuan is still not sure about the situation on the prince's side.
Even though he didn't want to offend the prince to death, he couldn't let go of the fourth prince in front of him.
Without the help of the fourth prince, no matter how talented he is, he will definitely fail in this year's scientific examination.
Thinking of this, Song Zichuan regained all his respect for the fourth prince,
apologized to the fourth prince, and then bowed and left, deciding to study behind closed doors.
Seeing Song Zichuan's attitude, the fourth prince's expression improved slightly.
After all, his situation is not as good as that of the prince. If there is no more capable people around to help him, then what can he do to fight the prince?
On the contrary to him, not only did most of the learned people go to help the prince,
but even Zhu Xuntao, who seemed like a genius from heaven, became the prince's person because of her marriage to Xiao Jingzhan.
If he had known that Zhu Xuntao was so powerful, how could he let Zhu Xuntao marry Xiao Jingzhan and let the prince get her for nothing.
Xiao Jingzhan was the prince, and he was still the prince.
As long as he wanted and Zhu Xuntao was willing, how could he not marry Zhu Xuntao?
After Zhu Xuntao became his princess, all the elegance that belonged to the prince today would be his.
With Zhu Xuntao, could the prince still be a threat?
But things did not go as he wished, and he missed such an excellent Zhu Xuntao, such a good candidate for princess.
Why did he miss Zhu Xuntao, who was so capable?
Because of the Zhu Mansion!
Because the Zhu Mansion hid Zhu Xuntao, no matter how outstanding she was, she had no chance to show her talent, and he
also lost the opportunity to get to know Zhu Xuntao.
If Zhu Xuntao had a better reputation in the capital, even if there were only one or two opportunities to show her talent,
he believed that Zhu Xuntao would shine and attract everyone's attention.
At that time, would there be anything to do with Xiao Jingzhan and the prince?
He would definitely do everything he could to make Zhu Xuntao his woman.
After finally figuring out who was the culprit for his repeated failures and inability to win the crown prince,
the fourth prince was no longer polite and directly ordered his men to embarrass Zhu Dingxing in the court.
Based on what happened in the Zhu Mansion recently, Zhu Dingxing's little braid should be too obvious, and
there is no reason why he cannot be caught if he wants to.
So, at the next morning court, Zhu Dingxing, who felt that he had done nothing wrong, was blamed by his colleagues,
all of whom blamed him for the unrest in the harem and the instability in the front court.
The princes' consorts are now great contributors to the Yong Dynasty. The government has treated them unfairly,
and Zhu Dingxing has ignored them. All of this makes Zhu Dingxing feel guilty to the emperor and the court. The emperor should punish Zhu Dingxing severely.
After listening to the content of his report, Zhu Dingxing was dumbfounded and almost speechless.
After he reacted, he knelt down heavily with a "thump", and then kept shouting to the emperor.
But Zhu Dingxing did not explain a word about what injustice he had suffered.
But when he shouted, he was particularly sincere.
How did Zhu Xuntao live in the back house? How can he be blamed?
Raising children is a woman's responsibility.
Zhu Xuntao is not doing well. If we really want to hold her accountable, shouldn't Sun be brought to the throne?
Why are they blaming him alone?
He refused to accept it!
He was only responsible for negligence, which was not a big deal. He could not bear so many officials reporting him. He was clearly just angered.
As for whether he was angered by Sun or implicated by Zhu Xuntao,
Zhu Dingxing couldn't tell for a moment.
Half a month ago, Sun, who had been staying in the back house and rarely went out, was assassinated in the mansion.
Until today, the killer has not been caught, and Sun is still lying in bed recovering.
