Chapter 170: Take this loss!



Every time these reasons appeared, Zhao Ji did not stop them, but just pretended that he was powerless to stop them.

This way he could curry favor with the little prince, but at the same time he seemed to be powerless.

For a while, it actually caused chaos between the Southern Xinjiang forces behind the scenes and the Third Prince.

The third prince now stares at the southern Xinjiang forces like a mad dog every day.

Perhaps it was because there had been too much trouble in the past two days, the southern Xinjiang forces behind him had not come to see Zhao Ji for several days.

It just so happened that Zhao Ji also took advantage of this period of time to get the antidote from Mingyue.

"Although this medicine has been prepared, it must be taken with strong liquor, otherwise the medicinal properties cannot be dissolved."

This made Zhao Ji worried again. You know, the little prince was only in his early ten years old. Even if he was pretending to be an adult now, it would be strange to ask him out for a drink at his age.

However, no matter how great the difficulties are, things have come to this point, and Zhao Ji must restore the little prince to normal.

The little prince has been in a daze these days, mainly because the forces behind him have been disrupted by the third prince, so that the little prince has not received any new orders in these days.

"Go see Zhao Ji, go see Zhao Ji!" These two sentences suddenly appeared in the little prince's mind, and his body couldn't help but move forward. This was the normal feeling of being controlled, and now the little prince had gotten used to it.

This time, the little prince went to see Zhao Ji mainly to discuss with Zhao Ji how to get rid of the third prince.

The people behind the scenes have realized that if they want to resolve this situation, the key point still lies in Zhao Ji.

After all, the highest-ranking official they can control so far is Zhao Ji.

If Zhao Ji is unable to do anything, then no one in the court can temporarily stop the Third Prince's mad behavior.

When the little prince was looking for Zhao Ji all over the palace, he happened to see Zhao Ji and the third prince talking near the Imperial Household Department.

The third prince looked ambitious, while Zhao Ji had a frown on his face and seemed not to want to pay attention.

The little prince immediately became alert. His first reaction was not to suspect Zhao Ji, but to wonder if the third prince had found clues and found Zhao Ji.

So after seeing the obvious reluctance on Zhao Ji's face, the little prince had an idea and walked forward and pretended to see the two of them by accident.

"Third brother, Lord Zhao Ji, why are you here?"

The third prince, to be more precise, the third prince who has now been named Prince of Jin, rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He didn't want to get entangled with Zhao Ji here at all. If there weren't some clues pointing to Zhao Ji and King Jin wanted to get some information from Zhao Ji, he wouldn't have entangled with Zhao Ji here.

After all, the Third Prince had not forgotten the grudge between Zhao Ji and the Third Prince in the past.

In the past, Zhao Ji had secretly made things difficult for the Third Prince. If Zhao Ji wasn't needed now, the Third Prince wouldn't have bothered to come here specially.

However, the young prince was not aware of all this, and he was even less aware that the information obtained by the so-called Third Prince was also deliberately released by Zhao Ji.

Now Zhao Ji has the two princes playing around in his hands, but these two princes still think that it is their brothers who are annoying and it has nothing to do with Zhao Ji.

"I don't know if my royal brother has finished speaking. I have something to ask Lord Zhao Ji."

The younger prince intentionally wanted to distract the third prince, so he spoke deliberately.

The third prince sneered at the young prince and said, "I haven't finished what I have to say. Don't you know what respect for elders and juniors is? Or has your current tutor not taught you? Has your mother not taught you either?"

These words were very serious, and the little prince's face turned pale. However, he was a puppet after all, and he just felt offended. He did not sincerely defend his mother.

The enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met. The little prince suddenly had an idea and, taking advantage of his small size as a child, he stepped forward and kicked the third prince.

At the same time, he stepped heavily on the third prince's foot.

The weight of one boot crushed the other boot, and the little prince wished he could put all his weight on his feet.

The Third Prince's expression changed instantly. His distorted face made Zhao Ji, who was standing beside him, unable to hold back a cough.

After a lot of effort, Zhao Ji finally suppressed the smile in his throat.

On the other side, the little prince left immediately after stepping on it, and immediately pretended to be very embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, brother. I was in a hurry when I left, and I lost control of my body for a moment, so I stepped on your foot. I'm so sorry!"

"But my brother is such a grown-up, he will definitely not bother with a kid like me. My brother, are you okay?"

After saying these words, the Third Prince's face turned green. This was the first time he felt that such a little brat was extremely annoying.

Besides, the little prince is just a child now. If the third prince makes a big fuss about this matter and reports it to the emperor.

It will only leave the impression among the common people and important officials in the court that the third prince is unworthy of being reused, petty, and uncaring of his younger brothers.

So the Third Prince had no choice but to swallow this dumb loss, and he had to pretend to be magnanimous while doing so.

The Third Prince's face was livid, and he uttered a few words from between his teeth: "Good, very good, very good. It is great that you correct your mistakes. As your elder brother, I will not hold it against you! Please keep your eyes open next time you walk!"

Perhaps because this incident made the Third Prince too angry, he did not chase Zhao Ji to ask for anything. Instead, he turned around and left angrily.

But the back figure was limping as he walked, which showed that the little prince had made a desperate move just now and must have tried his best.

Zhao Ji on the other side tried to hold back his smile, and his face became distorted from trying so hard to hold it back.

But I have to say that Zhao Ji was in a good mood after watching this play.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, everything went smoothly according to the plan arranged by Zhao Ji.

The reason why Zhao Ji arranged for the little prince to see himself and the third prince getting close today was to make the little prince have a sense of crisis.

It also facilitates the progress of the following plans.

The young prince took Zhao Ji to a remote palace and asked him what he had just talked about with the third prince.

Zhao Ji looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin actually wants me to do him a favor so that he can check some shops and inns in the capital..."

"But I am also very worried about this matter. I naturally cannot give him this convenience. I am really depressed!"

Speaking of sad things, Zhao Ji even took out a pot of wine from his arms.
