Chapter 229 Emperor Zhaoning Remembers the Fourth Prince
Jiujiu was standing in front of the Fourth Prince at this moment. The chubby little hand was holding the jade pendant on the Fourth Prince's waist and playing with it very seriously.
She didn't even notice what the people around her were doing.
She was still muttering to herself.
[This jade pendant, why do I seem to have seen it somewhere? ]
[Where have you seen this before? ]
[Jiujiu can’t remember it! ]
Jiujiu tilted her head and thought carefully.
The Fourth Prince in front of Jiujiu clearly heard Jiujiu's thoughts at this moment, and was sure that the little girl's mouth did not move, but he heard the little girl's thoughts.
Is this really weird?
He could actually hear other people's thoughts?
The fourth prince is incredible.
Could it be related to his Buddhist beads?
"Jiujiu, come here, father."
Emperor Zhaoning was worried that Jiujiu had never gotten along with the Fourth Prince, and that she would start to make advances and make the Fourth Prince unhappy and angry.
He waved at Jiujiu.
After hearing this, Jiujiu let go of the hand that was holding the fourth prince's jade pendant and walked towards Emperor Zhaoning.
Emperor Zhaoning bent down and picked up Jiujiu, then asked tentatively, "What should we do with this foreign woman?"
The voice was very low and only Jiujiu heard it.
Jiujiu started to mutter.
【What to deal with.】
[Her father knows the location of the gold mine, so he keeps her. ]
"But this woman is from the south." Emperor Zhaoning whispered again.
[It doesn't matter whether she is from the South or from Western Chu. As long as it is beneficial to Western Chu, she is from Western Chu. ]
[Even if she is from the south, she can be turned into a person from Western Chu. ]
[How come Father can't even understand such a simple truth? ]
【Father is stupid.】
Emperor Zhaoning: “…”
The fourth prince: “…”
Oh my god, what is the little girl mumbling in her heart? Who is she scolding?
How dare she scold her father?
What a guts!
If the emperor knew about this, she would have a hard time.
Only my father doesn’t know.
Only because he had the Buddhist beads given by a master, which could ward off evil and misfortune, and could also see into some things that were very inexplicable, could he hear the little girl's inner voice.
The fourth prince reached for the Buddhist beads on Mosuo's wrist.
Jiujiu also saw the Buddhist beads on the Fourth Prince’s wrist at this moment.
The Buddhist beads are very special. They are strung together with skulls made of agarwood and strung with golden tassels. They look very strange and it is hard not to notice them.
Jiujiu stared blankly.
I feel like this Buddhist beads have also appeared in a book.
Emperor Zhaoning continued to whisper in Jiujiu's ear: "I wonder if this southern girl's words can be trusted? I'm worried that she is lying and there is actually no gold mine."
【Why is there no gold mine? 】
[Yes, yes, yes.]
[Jiujiu swore to the sky, to the earth, to the trees, to the flowers and plants, to everything.]
[If there is no gold mine, ninety-nine, ninety-nine...]
Jiujiu was in a hurry and blurted out: [Jiujiu will not wear shorts from now on.]
Emperor Zhaoning's mouth twitched: "..."
What a vicious oath!
He believed it.
The fourth prince: “…”
What is the little girl talking about? How vulgar!
So how did she know there was a gold mine? She was so confident, without even a hint of doubt, and looked very sure.
The fourth prince felt a little unwell.
She was afraid that Emperor Zhaoning would believe Mudan’s words because of Jiujiu’s thoughts.
But then he thought that his father probably couldn't hear what the little girl was thinking, so he didn't need to worry about anything.
The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief and pretended that he had heard nothing, waiting for Emperor Zhaoning to deal with Mudan.
A southerner.
He also sneaked into the Western Chu Palace.
Who cares what she comes here for.
My father will certainly not let me off easily.
My father would never have discovered that gold mine.
The fourth prince thought.
But the next moment, Emperor Zhaoning said, "Fourth Prince, what this southern woman said may not be false."
"But you are so sure that what she said is false and that the gold mine she mentioned may not exist. What is your intention?"
"Father..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Zhaoning interrupted the Fourth Prince, he didn't want to listen.
They are all high-sounding lies and empty words. What's so good about them?
Moreover, from this moment on, Emperor Zhaoning listed the Fourth Prince as one of the princes who could not be trusted and needed to be well guarded against.
It was really too much for the Fourth Prince to act so recklessly regarding the gold mine and disregard the future and interests of Western Chu.
Fortunately, there is Jiujiu.
Emperor Zhaoning was very grateful to Jiujiu.
If it weren't for Jiujiu's voice, he would have questioned the existence of the gold mine, and thus missed the gold mine and lost the place where the gold mine was.
He had to make arrangements immediately and have people guard Fuyang Mushan well until the gold mine was mined and must not let it be taken away by the southerners.
As for the Fourth Prince, he seems to be non-competitive and low-key so that no one can remember him. But in fact, he has bad intentions and ulterior motives and has no good intentions.
Emperor Zhaoning glanced at the Fourth Prince coldly, which was considered as taking note of it.
The Fourth Prince was frightened by Emperor Zhaoning's look. He was very scared and felt like he was seen through.
No, he usually hides himself very deeply, how could he be seen through?
It must be his illusion.
Yes, illusion.
"Fourth Prince, you have been handling the official salt business since you left the palace and established your residence. I think you are a little tired. Let the Thirteenth Prince take charge of this matter."
"By the way, let the Thirteenth Prince gain some experience!"
"If there's anything he doesn't understand, you have to help him solve it."
Emperor Zhaoning was worried about the official salt business, and that there might be something fishy going on in the hands of the Fourth Prince, but he knew nothing about it, so he began to take away the Fourth Prince's job and power.
The fourth prince: “…”
What else did the father say?
My father actually transferred his official salt job to the Thirteenth Prince?
You have to understand that the official salt business is a lucrative, leisurely, and good job. It does not put your life in danger, and you don't have to deal with all kinds of monsters and demons.
He has done a very good job over the years and is very satisfied.
How come it was taken away suddenly?
The fourth prince was unwilling.
"Father, my Thirteenth Brother is still young." The Fourth Prince said, "The official salt business is complicated. I am worried that he is not competent for it. It is better for me to continue to do it."
If he can't continue doing this job.
He can't help the people he wants to help.
He must seize this mission.
"Father," the fourth prince said, kneeling down, "I am grown up now, I cannot stay idle at home."
Emperor Zhaoning's attitude remained unchanged, "It is settled."
Moreover, Emperor Zhaoning saw that Jiujiu kept staring at the string of skull beads on the Fourth Prince's wrist for a long time without moving his eyes away. It seemed that he liked it very much and wanted it very much, so he spoke unkindly.
"Old Four, today is the first time you meet your eighteenth sister, why don't you give her a gift?"
The Fourth Prince felt a tightness in his heart and was not feeling well.
"I think the beads on your wrist are nice and special, suitable for children to play with."
"Just give it to Jiujiu to play with."
Let him fool around with his gold mine like this.
He needs to be bled.
The fourth prince: “…”
Jiujiu: "..."
Jiujiu was shocked. Her father actually asked her fourth brother for his skull-shaped Buddhist beads? And he asked for her.
No, no, no, she can't have it.
That thing is scary.
How terrible is it?
