Chapter 625: Kind Father, Filial Son

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The emperor was about to announce something important.

The Crown Prince said indifferently, “Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are still young. Father will not issue an imperial decree to confer the title of King for the time being.”

The ministers immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Being conferred the title of King was a good thing, but the problem was that at this juncture, once the emperor conferred the title of King to them, he would definitely bestow them with a mediocre fiefdom and then drive them away!

The emperor would be far away, how were they supposed to plan for the future?!

The emperor was disappointed that Zhao Xuanjiang did not live up to his expectations. “You are indeed a little indecisive!”

If the Fourth and Fifth Prince could not make it, what else could this group of trash do?!

The Crown Prince frowned. “What is there to be afraid of? Why would Father come up with such a plan for me? The Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are very respectful to me. There is nothing wrong with them.”

The officials were clamoring all day long, not for the sake of promoting other princes to the throne, but because they were afraid that he would become the ruler of a country with a crippled body.

“My Son has such a breadth of mind. What big responsibility can’t he take?!” The emperor looked at the Crown Prince with heartache.

The group of trash below were all blind!

The Fourth Prince was great? He was like a ball of dough. Fifth Prince was great? What did a little child know?!

Zhao Xuanjing was already used to being praised, and his expression remained the same at that moment. “Father, you praise me too much.”

“Since Mo Chusheng can accompany you to investigate the case, she must be a kind and intelligent person. Do you need me to issue an imperial decree?” The emperor started to chat with his son.

The officials below were about to cry.

Zhao Xuzhi’s people had been carried away, but that severed arm was still moving.

It was creepy, but the emperor had not allowed them to leave yet, and he insisted on forcing them to stay and watch them being a kind father and a filial son!

Zhao Xuanjing suddenly knelt down. “I implore Father to grant us a marriage…”

All the officials were stunned.

See, see! The Crown Prince indeed had something on with that witch!

“I heard that the former General Xie Niushan’s eldest daughter is elegant and intelligent, gentle and virtuous, wise and sensible. I want to make her the imperial consort and take charge of the East Palace,” Zhao Xuanjing added.

All the officials felt as if their heads had been hit by a huge gong and drum. Their heads were buzzing.

The eldest daughter of the Xie family?!

Who was that?!

There were many speculations about the Crown Prince’s imperial consort, but they had never heard of anything between the Crown Prince and the Xie family! Where did this girl come from?!

The emperor knew that General Xie was personally promoted by him.

“General Xie? He’s a loyal and honest person. When he was out there suppressing bandits, he didn’t forget to kowtow to me. He’s very sincere, a rare character in the imperial court!” The emperor praised sincerely.

“It is that man indeed.” Zhao Xuanjing smiled.

The ministers finally snapped back to their senses. Who was this general Xie?!

He was… a bandit!

“Your Majesty, think carefully…” Someone immediately knelt down.

The emperor frowned. “What are you going to say? You weren’t willing when he chose Mo Chusheng. Now he’s going for the great eldest daughter of the Xie family, you’re unwilling as well! If you are so picky, how can I ever have a daughter-in-law in my life?! It’s all because of you that I haven’t been able to have a grandson! I’m upset. Do you mock me when you return home to spend time with your filial children and grandchildren?!”

The group of ministers were instantly speechless.

What should they do?

They had just rejected an old witch, and now there was a bandit girl.

However, if they objected again, it would really be them who were obstructing the Crown Prince from getting married!

Crown Prince…

Everyone’s hearts were already filled with resentment. After all these years of fighting with the Crown Prince, how could they not know about him?

He was young, but he was extremely shrewd!

They were starting to suspect that Zhao Xuzhi was being used by the Crown Prince!

First, he exposed his relationship with Master Mo, and now Young Lady Xie, leaving them with no choice!
