Chapter 178 Beauty is not as good as gold and silver
Seeing that the excitement had been caused by the Fourth Prince.
Ji Chen calmly put the iron ball back into his arms.
This has to be returned and can't be lost, otherwise that girl will be angry.
The emperor didn't care about the iron ball or not, he just looked at the fourth prince with concern.
Apart from the prince, the only person he likes is Xiao Si. Xiao Si is not competitive and is smart, which is what he likes the most.
In addition to the reason of the imperial concubine, he also loves Xiao Si and her family.
The Fourth Prince swallowed hard, and the moment he raised his eyes, a trace of hatred was cast in Ji Chen's direction.
Then he looked at the emperor calmly and said, "Father, please forgive me. I have defamed the palace. Two days ago, I went up the mountain to suppress bandits and was accidentally injured. I thought I was fine, but when I heard your words, I was so happy that I even got hurt again."
The emperor looked at him distressedly and said, "Why are you still attending court when you are injured? Go back and recuperate."
Then he looked at Eunuch Chang who was standing beside him and said, "Send a few imperial doctors to the Fourth Prince's residence and make sure he is well treated."
The Fourth Prince said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have doctors in my mansion who specialize in treating me. They understand my body very well and can easily treat me. There's no need to trouble the imperial physician to make a trip."
The Fourth Prince has always been calm, gentle and elegant.
The emperor felt even more distressed when he saw how sensible he was.
A hint of a meaningful smile flashed across Ji Chen's eyes. "Don't worry, my royal brother. I've noticed that Xiao Si's complexion has improved a lot since he spit out that mouthful of blood. He should be fine."
The Fourth Prince seemed to see a mocking smile in his eyes, but he remained calm and said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. What the Imperial Uncle said makes sense. After spitting out this blood clot, I feel much better. I have to thank the Imperial Uncle."
"You're welcome, Little Fourth. Your patriotism is clear to all. He was so happy to learn that the villain had been eliminated that he vomited blood. From now on, the Emperor's uncle will surely kill more evil people with evil intentions, so that Little Fourth's blood will not be shed in vain."
The fourth prince felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat and couldn't help but want to spit it out again.
But he still swallowed it.
He felt like every word Ji Chen said could make him vomit blood, and he didn't know if it was intentional.
The third prince and the sixth prince looked at each other and saw gloating in each other's eyes.
The Yama Palace suddenly appeared, and its financial and human resources made them jealous.
Others don’t know who the Lord of Yama Palace is, but they found out when they wanted to retake Yama Palace.
The fourth prince, who has always been quiet and seems to be at peace with the world, is the master of Yama Palace.
Now that Ji Chen suddenly told him that he had been eliminated, it would be strange if he didn't vomit blood.
The Sixth Prince echoed Ji Chen's words: "The Imperial Uncle is indeed a man of great righteousness, dedicated to the country and the people. Since its birth, the Yama Palace has been rampant and tyrannical, robbing the people countless times, no different from mountain bandits. Fortunately, the Imperial Uncle has eradicated it, eliminating a great disaster for the people."
The Third Prince also chimed in, "Xiao Liu is right. The Emperor's uncle's actions are truly pleasing to the people and he deserves a generous reward."
The two princes spoke, and some of the remaining ministers also helped to speak.
They directly called His Royal Highness Prince Xiao the guardian god of Daqi, brave and good at fighting, with great military achievements, unprecedented and unparalleled, etc.
But no one noticed that the emperor's face was gradually darkening.
Ji Chen listened to these exaggerated compliments indifferently.
My heart is calm.
Of course he knew that this was not true praise, but flattery.
Those who spoke were ministers who were on good terms with the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.
This shows that the two of them often do little tricks.
This move can not only step on the Fourth Prince, but also drag Ji Chen into the water.
After all, the emperor was still sitting there, and people below began to compliment him.
The emperor naturally would not be happy.
really.
The emperor spoke unhappily, "Well, it's disgraceful to make such a commotion in the court. Eunuch Chang, look at who was making the noise just now. They will all be punished for six months."
As soon as these words came out.
The scene was silent for a while.
No one was talking, but the emperor had spoken, and punishment was necessary.
If you don't say anything, you can't win Feng Yin back.
The minister who was speaking so enthusiastically just now can only suffer now.
The emperor glanced at Ji Chen and realized that he was a man who had done good things.
It would be unreasonable not to reward.
"My Royal Brother has truly accomplished a great deed this time. Reward..."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You are already old enough. You have been protecting our country's territory without a considerate person by your side. How about I find you a marriage?"
After hearing the emperor's words, many ministers couldn't help but feel moved.
His Royal Highness Prince Xiao is young and promising, with outstanding military achievements, and is the dream lover of many ministers' daughters.
Many ministers' daughters have long been clamoring to marry none other than King Xiao, and are now old maids.
Many ministers wanted to recommend him for their daughters.
If she is really selected, it will also fulfill my daughter's wish.
Even if you are not selected, at least you have tried your best.
When Ji Chen heard this, a petite and cute face flashed through his mind.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at a certain minister.
He lowered his eyes slightly.
The emperor will never grant him the person he wants.
It seems I have to work harder.
Thinking of him, he looked at the emperor and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have lived in the border for a long time and I don't know how to be gentle and considerate to women. I won't bother with the precious jewels of the ministers anymore."
"Besides, I have a bad temper. If someone accidentally angers me one day, my sword is always merciless. What if I accidentally hurt those delicate girls? I guess the ministers would be reluctant to let their daughters suffer such hardship."
As soon as Ji Chen said this, many ministers stopped thinking.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao is cold-hearted and cold-blooded, killing people without blinking an eye, how could they have forgotten.
What's more, the emperor's attitude towards His Royal Highness Prince Xiao is very subtle. If they are involved with His Royal Highness Prince Xiao.
The emperor might even become suspicious of you.
It’s better not to get involved with him.
I'll just go back and force my daughter to get married.
Ji Chen openly refused and openly threatened the ministers.
The emperor also stopped thinking.
He couldn't think of who to give to Ji Chen for a while.
Since Ji Chen was not happy about it, he was too lazy to bother with it.
"Since my royal brother doesn't want a beauty, then I'll give him some gold and silver."
Ji Chen just raised his hand and said, "Thank you, my royal brother."
The emperor felt strange.
When did beauty become less valuable than gold and silver?
Today's morning court also ended with the sharp voice of Eunuch Chang.
When Ji Chen slowly walked to the palace gate.
A figure slowly moved closer.
whispered:
"Uncle Royal is quite resourceful. He was able to come up with a way to frame someone and complete the task assigned by my father. I admire his intelligence."
Ji Chen glanced at the Fourth Prince, "What do you mean, Little Fourth? I only killed those who deserved to be killed. Investigations also rely on evidence. Didn't Little Fourth see my evidence? Now you're accusing me of framing you. Don't you love your country and your people? Why are you speaking for the thieves?"
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, "Uncle, you should know where the evidence came from. I simply cannot bear to see people being wrongly accused. Even those who have committed heinous crimes should not be charged with false charges."
Ji Chen raised his lips, "I didn't know that Xiao Si had such a kind heart that he could even treat the most heinous people equally. No wonder the people in Yama Palace were so devoted to you."
