Chapter 363 The 3rd Prince Ran Away
Chapter 363 The 3rd Prince Ran Away
Outside the Third Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince and his servant sat on the steps at the entrance of the Third Prince's Mansion, shouting weakly,
"Third brother, brother is here to see you, open the door, third brother, third brother."
He didn't care whether the door at the back was open or not, he just kept shouting.
As for the Second Prince's guards, they all stood with their backs to him.
They had to turn their backs to them because they really couldn’t help laughing.
A prince prays to gods and Buddhas all day long, and he doesn't even dare to eat a free meal when he is hungry. In the words of the second prince, he is a cultivator, so how can he do anything that is against his morality?
Even when asked to go to his father-in-law's house for dinner, he didn't dare go.
If his father-in-law knew that he had persuaded his wife to become a nun, he would probably want to kill him.
No other prince has achieved this level.
"I regret it!" murmured the second prince.
"What do you regret?"
"I regret letting the princess become a nun. After she became a nun, I couldn't even afford to eat, and this dress..."
The second prince shook his sleeves.
"I haven't changed my clothes in three days, and those bastards said they couldn't find where I put my clothes."
"Oh~~ I was wondering why you weren't wearing your colorful clothes, turns out you couldn't find them." There was a lot of gloating in this sentence.
The second prince was angry.
"That's not colorful clothes, that's immortal clothes. When I have money, I'll go to a clothing store and have them custom made."
"Ha! Custom made! I knew that it was the right decision to hand over the financial power of the Prince's Mansion to the Second Prince's Consort."
This tone, this voice, why does it sound so familiar?
The second prince was shocked and turned around suddenly.
"Father~~~"
Emperor Xuan grabbed the whisk from Eunuch Liu's hand and swung it at the Second Prince.
"I asked you to coax the princess into becoming a nun! I asked you to become an immortal, but I didn't deal with you for a while, so you just wanted to have some fun, didn't you?"
At this time, the second prince was extremely agile. He jumped up from the ground and circled around the third prince's palace.
"Father, I was wrong. Please don't hit me."
"If you are wrong, bring my wife back to me."
"But the princess is in seclusion now and won't see outsiders."
"Just bear with it if you don't see outsiders. If you can't coax your princess back, you'll have to beg for food in the future!"
"Father! I am your biological son!"
"You are my own son who only makes me angry."
·······
After a chaotic commotion, the father and son sat down on the steps in front of the Third Prince's mansion, panting.
Emperor Xuan took a breath before he had the strength to speak: "We both fought at the door, why didn't the third brother make any movement?"
Emperor Xuan frowned when he said this. From last year to this year, the third son had been very silent. Even during the morning court session every day, he stood in the court room and said little, like an invisible man.
The third brother is trying his best to eliminate his presence.
Emperor Xuan understood that the third prince was afraid that the crown prince would punish him after he ascended the throne. But there was no need for that. The crown prince was not that petty. Besides, he would be the emperor of Daqian in the future, the supreme position above everyone else. There was no need to bother with a loser.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xuan ordered Eunuch Liu: "Jixiang, go knock on the door and see what the third brother is doing?"
After hearing the order, Eunuch Liu went to knock on the door. He knocked gently a few times, but there was no response from inside.
As a prince's mansion, there should at least be guards standing in front of the gate. It would be fine if there were no guards standing in front of the third prince's mansion, but there wasn't even a doorman.
The second prince smiled and said, "Your voice is too soft. The third prince simply ignored me."
Eunuch Liu looked back at the Second Prince and decisively increased his strength and began to bang on the door. His hands were sore from the banging, but the door would not open no matter what he did.
At this point, Emperor Xuan felt a little uneasy, wondering if something had happened to the third son.
Otherwise, the door of the mansion would not be opened no matter how hard you knock.
"Quick! Climb over the wall and see what's going on inside."
After hearing the instructions, the guards quickly jumped into the Third Prince's mansion.
After a while, a gray-haired old man came out from the inside and opened the door of the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, there is no one in the Third Prince's house except this half-deaf old man, so we kept knocking on the door but couldn't get it open."
"As for the situation of the Third Prince's Mansion, this old man doesn't know either. He doesn't even know that this is the Third Prince's Mansion. He was originally just a beggar in the capital, hired by someone to look after the house."
"nobody?"
Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly asked: "Where are the maids, palace maids, and guards? How could so many people disappear?"
"Even if they left the city quietly, with so many people leaving the city, the inner guards must have some information about it!"
"The third prince wouldn't have ascended to heaven in broad daylight!" the second prince checked.
Emperor Xuan didn't even turn his head and slapped his second son accurately on the back of his head. "I will make you ascend to heaven in broad daylight. I will make you ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"
At this time, the inner guards stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince and his wife went to the hot spring resort in the suburbs, but the people in the palace left at some point."
"Then...Wenquanzhuangzi?" Emperor Xuan felt even more uneasy.
Even if he went to the hot spring resort, he wouldn't leave anyone at home. It seems like he has no intention of coming back to live here.
"My subordinates will go check it out right now."
"What are you looking for? Just go back to the palace."
The speed of the inner guards is not as fast as Xu Jinyu.
When Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, the coldness emanating from his body made everyone's heart jump.
Didn’t Your Majesty go to deal with the Second Prince?
[Wuhu, after beating up his son, his face is still so ugly. It's time for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the blame! ]
The prince rolled his eyes. How stupid he was to run out to resist the lightning at this time.
【Let me see what the reason is. 】
[Oh my god! The Third Prince ran away, and he took his wife with him.]
"Bang!"
Emperor Xuan leaned directly on the dragon throne. The last bit of hope in his heart was gone. His son really ran away.
The left prime minister covered his chest with his hands and was about to fall backwards, but was hugged by the official next to him.
His precious daughter! How could she be kidnapped by the third prince? His sweetheart!
The next moment, Zuo Xiang hurriedly pushed away the person who was hugging him, bowed and tried to speak.
Emperor Xuan interrupted the left prime minister and said in a cold tone: "My third prince is missing, and so are the people in the third prince's mansion. Someone tell me how so many people disappeared without a sound."
"In the great capital of Daqian, my prince is missing, and I have to find him myself. What do the people in Jingzhao Yamen do? What is the Imperial Guard? Who is responsible for guarding the city gate? Stand up!"
The last sentence, mixed with thunderous rage, came down on the court officials.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
······
The court officials knelt on the ground, sweat pouring down their foreheads, fearing that His Majesty would vent his anger on them. Don't expect His Majesty to be reasonable at this time.
Xu Jinyu knelt down reluctantly, still mumbling in his heart,
[Why are you so angry? Your son ran away on his own initiative, and in batches, one group in, one group out. There were few people in, and many people out. Before you knew it, everyone in the prince's mansion had left. If a prince doesn't want to be discovered, there are plenty of ways to do it.]
[Could it be that the gatekeepers would interrogate anyone from the Third Prince's residence when they see him? Even if the Third Prince is willing, the gatekeepers would not dare to do so. They only get a small salary, and it is not worth offending the Third Prince.]
Emperor Xuan: This little bastard, how could he destroy the stage so quickly.
[Let me see why he is running! Seeing that Daqian is about to take off, why is he running? ]
Emperor Xuan straightened up: "Yes! Let's see why you are running."
If he doesn't want to be a prince, what does he want to do?
The Left Prime Minister couldn't help but look back. It was not only the Third Prince, but also his precious daughter.
[Oh~~~ He was worried that the prince would deal with him after he ascended the throne. After all, he and the prince had fought a lot in the court. It happened that the overseas fleet came back, which made him realize that besides Daqian, there are other places in the world he can go.
[And there is a huge amount of wealth overseas, so they just run away.]
[I plan to take the third prince's wife with me to be the king of the natives. 】
[This...is a good idea, but isn't he worried that his father might get mad at him? His father is furious right now.]
【Oh!!! His father-in-law is almost scared to death.】
The father-in-law and father looked at each other and decided to find someone first without saying anything else.
You want to go out to sea without any experience at all. You are just looking for excitement and think the wind and waves on the sea are fake.
Sudden····
[Hahahaha...hahahaha...is this couple funny? ]
