The third prince touched his forehead and smiled, "I fell hard and am weak."
"Third brother, don't worry. I haven't even seen any evidence. How can I doubt third brother?" Xiao Yuchen asked someone to bring bone-raising plasters and trauma medicine that was applied on the face to promote wound healing.
The third prince took the medicine and left in a hurry.
Before leaving, he even boasted about Xiao Yuchen.
After both of them left, Xiao Yuchen went to see Wen Jin.
Wen Jin has been bored in the main room of the main courtyard these days, without even leaving the door.
Her already fair and delicate skin seemed to become more clear and flawless, and Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but be fascinated.
"The prince said that the third prince came and hid in the side hall, and then the prince also came, and then what?" Wen Jin had to remind him again.
"Oh..." Xiao Yuchen stared at her again, his face heated up, and he looked away, "It turned out that the third prince listened to everything the prince said to him.
"The third brother is a sinister villain. On the surface, he is a humble young man. He doesn't show favor to anyone, but he has many tricks behind his back."
Xiao Yuchen spread his hands and let her look at his palms.
His skin has good texture, strong recovery ability, and basically doesn’t leave many scars.
But apart from the calluses worn out by martial arts training, there are almost no palm prints on his palms. The palm prints are intermittent and there are traces of broken skin.
"When I was not old enough to leave the palace, I was too young and ignorant. He tricked me into getting lighted firecrackers, and my whole hand was blown to pieces.
"This hand is almost useless. If my mother-in-law hadn't gritted her teeth and picked up the fried meat, and my master used thaumaturgy to reattach the meat, I don't know if this hand could hold a gun..."
Xiao Yuchen turned his palm over, stared at his almost lost hand, and grinned.
Wen Jin was secretly shocked when he heard this.
I really can’t see that he experienced this when he was a child?
"Things that seem cruel are not necessarily bad."
Xiao Yuchen lowered his eyes and said, "In a dangerous environment, the sooner you realize the truth, the sooner you can learn the ability to protect yourself."
Wen Jin nodded, "The third prince was frightened and his horse fell, and it was you who..."
Xiao Yuchen looked at her and said, "Princess, there is no evidence, so don't talk nonsense. The third brother said that the prince did it."
Wen Jin paused and then said, "What will the third prince do when he hears what the prince said today?"
"I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to confront the prince directly... I guess he still has some damaging moves."
Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this bad breath for you."
Wen Jin lowered his eyes and said warmly: "It's not like he was really hurt. The bad vibes... there's no bad vibes at all.
“Just because of the purple energy phenomenon, the already feared Prince Huai’s Mansion became even more eye-catching.
"I just thought that if we could introduce the contradiction, it would also make the situation outside Prince Huai's Mansion a little more relaxed."
Xiao Yuchen looked at Wen Jin with deep eyes...
After a long time, he suddenly said: "I know."
Wen Jin was slightly startled, "What does the prince know?"
"I have always been proud. In the past, being arrogant and reckless was my protective color...
"But it's different now. I have a wife and children. Maybe by properly 'surrendering' I can better protect my wife and children."
Wen Jin was a little surprised. Can Xiao Yuchen learn to surrender? Isn't his wantonness and arrogance engraved in his bones?
She couldn't imagine how someone as proud as him was going to surrender?
…
The next day, Xiao Yuchen took the initiative to enter the palace and asked to see the emperor.
While he was waiting outside the hall, the words that his master once said kept echoing in his ears.
Master said that everyone yearns for greatness, and every man wants to achieve great things.
But when a man is willing to choose a humble and ordinary life for a more important mission, he truly begins to mature and approaches greatness.
"His Royal Highness King Huai, the emperor summons you to come in." The eunuch said.
Xiao Yuchen entered the palace and saw no one else.
But while he was waiting outside the palace, it was clear that there were other people in his father's palace.
He didn't see anyone leaving either.
"Father, my son is guilty, please punish me." Xiao Yuchen entered the palace and knelt down respectfully.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "What trouble did you get into again?"
Xiao Yuchen took out the East Palace badge and said, "Jin'er was kidnapped a few days ago, and I found this thing in the car."
"Is this... the East Palace waist badge?"
The eunuch presented his waist badge, and when the emperor saw it, his expression changed slightly.
The palace was quiet.
There was a slight sound behind the huge screen.
There is someone behind the screen!
Xiao Yuchen's six senses were sharp, and although the movement was very small, it still did not escape his ears.
But he knelt on the ground and seemed unaware.
"My son, without waiting for a detailed investigation, ran to the East Palace to question His Highness the Crown Prince...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, and his sons and ministers are ministers. But my son and ministers rely on their father's favor, and the eldest brother is wise and benevolent, and often breaks the rules...
"Now that I know my mistake, I beg my father to punish me."
The emperor was stunned and looked at him deeply, "So, the kidnapping of Princess Huai has nothing to do with the prince?"
"I don't know who kidnapped Jin'er. Erchen traced it and found the four people. They had been burned into four charred corpses and there were no clues.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not care about my recklessness, but I would like to remind you that no one would carry out kidnapping with a belt... Someone is clearly taking advantage of my reckless temperament and using him as a gunman."
The emperor nodded slightly.
Xiao Yuchen turned around and said, "When my son lost his temper at the house and cursed the sinister person behind him, who was cunning and unscrupulous, Jin'er persuaded him to stop me."
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes lit up and he was very curious, "How does Princess Huai persuade you?"
"Jin'er said, a gentleman should examine himself three times. There are so many brothers, why doesn't that villain use others? Why does he use his sons and ministers instead?
"Why did he set a trap and his son jumped obediently?
"Er Chen was originally the youngest among the brothers, and he was supposed to have the best relationship with his eldest brother, but why did he have the most tense relationship with his eldest brother?
"Jin'er said that instead of cursing the villain at home, I should think about whether there is something wrong with my own behavior."
The emperor clicked his tongue in surprise and his eyes widened.
"Wen Jin's words can make you wake up?"
Xiao Yuchen gave his father a sad and aggrieved look, "Father... Jin'er said that if I don't reflect on myself, I won't let him enter the main courtyard, and I won't let him see Yu'er...
"Er Chen knows that he is not a good father and owes a lot to Yu'er. But Er Chen also wants to do his best so that his wife and children can live a stable life without having to worry all day long.
"Jin'er was kidnapped. Although she managed to escape, she had nightmares every night and couldn't sleep peacefully..."
Xiao Yuchen lowered his head in shame.
The emperor was filled with emotions...
The palace was quiet for a long time.
The emperor sighed, "When you marry a virtuous wife, you should marry a virtuous woman! Although Wen Jin didn't look good at the beginning, I asked you to marry her. You are really the right one!"
Xiao Yuchen kowtowed and said, "I beg your father to punish me for breaking into the East Palace a few days ago."
The emperor said nothing, coughed slightly, and glanced at the huge screen from the corner of his eye.
"My son, I asked for punishment voluntarily, and I have no complaints!" Xiao Yuchen's expression was humble.
Behind the screen, a figure walked out.
Xiao Yuchen looked up and saw the prince standing not far in front of him.
It turned out that the prince was behind the screen.
"Eighth brother, get up! What are you doing? You and I are our biological brothers. You are the youngest. The eldest brother should have let you go." The prince stepped forward to pull him.
Xiao Yuchen refused to get up, "Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful to each other. Your Highness is benevolent, but my younger brother is arrogant and unruly, and cannot be respectful as a minister."
"Today I ask my father to punish my son and minister, and also to establish authority for His Highness, and to serve as a warning to others!"
The prince's pupils trembled and he looked at him in astonishment.
