Chapter 364 The Inexperienced Third Prince
Chapter 364 The Inexperienced Third Prince
[As expected, young people are learning how to run away from home. Just as they reached the beach, the princess discovered that she was pregnant and didn’t dare to leave for the time being. The place where they boarded the ship was too warm. A group of northerners were not used to the climate and were vomiting and having diarrhea. They hadn’t even officially set off yet, but they fell down one after another.]
"Sigh~~"
Daqian official: The third prince was raised in luxury, why would he run away from home? Look! Now something bad has happened!
[And everyone is seasick. They haven't even left yet, and they're all vomiting like crazy. They wanted to take their guards to conquer a piece of land overseas, but they vomited to death first. Are they planning to drown the natives with their vomit?]
Civil and Military Officials: That’s not the case.
[Also, do they know that lack of vitamins at sea can cause sepsis? Don’t let yourself get sick before you even get overseas.]
The emperor and his ministers of Daqian: Sepsis, what is that? Sir Xu, please explain it in detail.
[When hiring the crew, they didn't reveal their identities. Didn't you see that the crew were almost drooling at the gold and silver they brought? When they got to the sea, they threw a group of seasick people into the sea and destroyed their bodies. Hehehehe...]
Daqian's ruler and ministers: What are you talking about! Hurry up and save him. If you don't save him, the Third Prince will really finish him off.
Emperor Xuan: Great job, third son! He's going to kill himself.
Zuo Xiang's hands began to tremble with heartache. His precious daughter had never suffered such pain before.
Emperor Xuan quickly winked at the inner guards.
The inner guard rushed into the court room and said, "Your Majesty! We have found out that the Third Prince is preparing to go to sea, but he has not done so yet because he is not feeling well.
Emperor Xuan stood up suddenly and said, "Asshole! Why is a prince like him going out to sea? Does he think it's so easy to go out to sea? Why doesn't he ask how many people in my fleet have died?"
"Ge Qianfang, you must personally bring people to bring the Third Prince back to me."
When Emperor Xuan said the word "receive", he deliberately emphasized the tone, implying that he should bring the Third Prince back regardless of whether the Third Prince was willing or not.
He glanced at the pleading left prime minister and added, "Take the imperial physician with you, and be careful on the way back."
"Yes!"
Ge Qianfang led the imperial guards to the seaside at full speed, and returned with the third prince. As for the third prince's wife, she was pregnant and not feeling well, so she stayed at the seaside until spring, or simply waited until the child was born before bringing him back.
When the Third Prince came back, he had lost a lot of weight. When he saw Emperor Xuan, he knelt down and said, "Father! I am so willful and made you worried."
Emperor Xuan stood up and pointed at his son's nose, saying unhappily, "You still know I'm worried. The left prime minister is so old, and he almost cried on my thigh these days. Your princess is pregnant, but you still took him out to sea. Aren't you worried that something might happen at sea, which would make you regret it for the rest of your life?"
"And..." Emperor Xuan was still preparing to recount all the stupid things the Third Prince had done.
The Third Prince's face flushed red. The commander of the Royal Guards had already told him about all the stupid things he had done. Although he was rather tactful, the Third Prince still broke out in a cold sweat after hearing it.
He was worried about the prince's revenge and was greedy for the huge wealth overseas, so he set out to sea in such a hurry that he almost killed everyone in the mansion.
He really didn't want to hear it again, so he interrupted Emperor Xuan and said, "Father, I know I was wrong."
Please, don't repeat the stupid things I did.
Emperor Xuan also sat down: "It's good that you know you are wrong. I know you are worried about the crown prince, but the crown prince is not a narrow-minded person. He will not do anything to you. I can guarantee this to you."
"But······"
The third prince raised his lips and revealed a bitter smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not attack me, but he will not treat me with any special favors either. He may even scold me if I am not careful. I don't want to live in fear for the rest of my life, worrying about the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will attack me."
"I don't want to live like that. My princess is the daughter of the Left Prime Minister. She was born in the Left Prime Minister's house and lived happily for the first half of her life. I don't want her to live in fear with me. Instead of living like that, I would rather choose a more comfortable way to live."
Emperor Xuan was originally filled with anger, but after listening to his son's talk, his anger gradually dissipated.
Since you are the emperor, you naturally understand what the emperor is thinking.
The few royal brothers he had left were all well-behaved and did not dare to overstep the line for fear that he would punish them, especially a prince who had once bullied him. He had not done anything excessive but just sent a few palace maids and eunuchs to his palace from time to time.
These palace maids and eunuchs were enough to make the prince live in fear. He would be terrified at the slightest disturbance. Although he was a prince, his life in the palace was extremely hard.
He had nothing, such as a high bed, soft pillows, fine clothes, delicious food, or a beautiful wife and concubines. He was afraid that he, as the emperor, would find evidence against him and take his life.
"Hey~~"
Emperor Xuan sighed deeply and understood the third brother's thoughts.
"If you don't want to live in fear, and you want to go overseas, that's fine, but it will take a few years before you leave with the army."
"After you have dealt with the natives, you can be your prince overseas with peace of mind, and treat that place as your own fiefdom. If you leave later, the court is discussing this matter, and the royal family's fiefdom may all be overseas in the future."
The Third Prince: "That means I spent all my efforts to sell off all the property in the Third Prince's Mansion and brought it to the seaside, but it was all in vain, and it also caused my princess to be bedridden."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Yes! You have wasted your time and effort."
