Chapter 241 Are we disconnected from the Internet?
Emperor Zhaoning was impulsive and blamed Concubine Jia for hiding such a big thing from him and not telling him the truth.
But when he reached the door of Qiu Shui Ju, he suddenly figured it out.
Before, he was on the verge of death because of that bracelet and was in danger of death. How could Concubine Jia have the heart to tell him such a big thing and upset him?
It was his fault after all.
It was he who insisted on keeping the harmful skull beads, which ended up harming himself.
And Concubine Jia, a woman, had to endure such a big thing on her own and did not dare to tell him or share the burden with him.
Emperor Zhaoning felt very guilty.
Fu An saw Emperor Zhaoning stopped and asked, "Your Majesty, are you still going in?"
Emperor Zhaoning clenched his fist and went in.
After entering, he saw Concubine Jia pacing anxiously in the flower hall, and all the servants and eunuchs in the room were silent.
Concubine Jia seemed to be worried about Jiujiu who was going on a long journey.
Seeing Emperor Zhaoning coming, Concubine Jia's face changed. She walked forward with a smile as if nothing had happened and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here? How do you feel today? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Emperor Zhaoning felt distressed when he saw that Concubine Jia had red eyes but was forcing herself to smile at him.
He shook his head, held Concubine Jia's hand, and said, "Yaoyao, I know everything about Jiujiu."
"You know?" Concubine Jia was frightened.
She knelt on the ground with a pale face, and said in fear and panic: "Your Majesty, I have deceived you before. I am wrong. Please punish me severely."
"Just, I hope you don't blame Jiujiu."
"Jiujiu is just a child."
"Get up." Emperor Zhaoning said, "None of this is to blame on you, nor on Jiujiu."
Both the big and the small are the people he cares about the most, and he can't bear to blame either of them.
The person who should be blamed most is him.
As a father, I didn't think highly of my daughter.
As a husband, he is in danger and makes his beloved wife worry.
Emperor Zhaoning comforted Concubine Jia, and after she calmed down, he personally led people to Mushan to meet her.
He was worried about Jiujiu.
There is really no way to just wait and do nothing.
·
Jiujiu this way.
They had been in the forest for nearly half a month, and the prince had already done what he needed to do.
Emperor Zhaoning also ordered the garrison troops from Fuyang to guard the gold mine.
After offering sacrifices to heaven and thanking the earth, mining began.
The prince and his entourage can go back now.
But, there is a problem.
The big brown bear insisted on following Jiujiu.
No matter how Jiujiu refused, she couldn't get rid of it.
The prince had a headache, "It's not good to bring this thing into the palace, right? After all, there are people everywhere on the way back to the capital. If someone sees it, it will definitely cause a huge commotion."
Jiujiu thought so too.
Jiujiu comforted the big brown bear for a while, then said goodbye to the big brown bear and left the forest.
·
Outside the forest, the deserters who were afraid of death and refused to enter the forest were now speaking ill of the prince.
What is the purpose?
They knew that once they became deserters, the imperial court would soon issue a wanted order, and no matter where they hid, they would not have a peaceful life.
In order to divert attention and shift the crisis, they directed their attacks on the prince.
If the prince was targeted by everyone, then their desertion would not be a big deal and would seem insignificant.
Everyone will only care about the prince and no longer care about them.
They will be safe.
They spread the word everywhere that the crown prince, for his own selfish desires, took a group of people into Mushan to die, without the slightest wisdom or awareness to avoid the crisis, nor did he care about the lives of his soldiers. He was extremely cruel, willful, and stupid, and was simply unworthy of being the crown prince.
They should be abolished and demoted to commoners.
The people were incited and as angry as the deserters.
They gathered in groups of three or five and discussed the faults of the crown prince in private.
"If such a cruel and merciless prince who doesn't value human life ascends the throne in the future, will we ordinary people still have a good life?"
"By then, I'm afraid we will be constantly exploited and humiliated..."
"well……"
The common people looked worried.
"What should I do?"
"There was also a tyrant in Western Chu. My ancestors said that his entire family was killed."
“I’m afraid that’ll happen to us, too.”
Someone saw the police patrolling nearby and hurriedly reminded them, "Everyone, disperse quickly and stop talking. Be careful not to be overheard by the police and arrested."
"Go home and discuss it behind closed doors."
"No one objects to discussing the Jade Emperor."
The people were afraid of being caught and held accountable by the officials, so they all dispersed.
But they were depressed because they could not even speak the truth freely, and their emotions became even worse.
Just then, another chivalrous man passed by. This chivalrous man was very unusual. He was ranked third on the list of chivalrous men in the martial arts world. His name was Huo Xuanqing.
After hearing these resentful voices, he couldn't bear it.
How could this prince be so cruel and inhumane and not regard human life as his own?
He had to do something to protest.
He called on the people and the people from various nearby underworld groups to join him in protesting and deposing the crown prince.
He knows very well that the law does not punish everyone, so he dares to act so recklessly.
Led by Huo Xuanqing, the common people and the gangsters began to parade through the streets, shouting that the prince was cruel and inhumane, unworthy of the position, and should be deposed.
As luck would have it, the prince and his entourage had just come out of the forest in Mushan when they ran into this group of people parading.
The prince was confused.
Jiujiu was also confused.
[Are we disconnected from the internet? ]
[How long have we been in the forest? The weather outside has changed? They are shouting about the deposed prince! ]
[Did the prince do something unforgivable? ]
[No, my brother the prince is a modest gentleman, gentle and elegant, loyal and brave, willing to make sacrifices, and take risks. He never retreats when faced with difficulties and obstacles...]
[The key is that he is good to his family and his first wife.]
[How can such a good person be abandoned? ]
Jiujiu was puzzled.
The prince was also puzzled, but he walked and sat upright, so he was not panicked.
His wise eyes swept over the group of people making trouble, trying to find the person who instigated the incident.
If there was no one deliberately causing trouble, how could it have become such a big fuss?
He saw the faces of several deserters in the crowd, and he immediately knew what was going on.
"Ayin, you look after Jiujiu. I'll go take a look."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I can handle this matter."
Otherwise, he would not be worthy of being the crown prince.
"Then you better be careful." Yu Wanyin looked at the prince's back worriedly as he left angrily.
Jiujiu pulled Yu Wanyin's sleeve and said, "Sister Yu, shall we go over and take a look?"
"But the prince won't let me."
"There are so many people causing trouble, the prince is worried that one might accidentally hurt you."
Jiujiu pointed at a big guy who had quietly followed and said, "With it here, I think we won't get hurt."
"It? Who is it?"
