Chapter 937: Soft-hearted, the way forward

The Eldest Prince"s words were full of ridicule, and he said them in public. If a person was thin-skinned, he might feel so embarra.s.sed that he doesn"t know how to face others, but… …

Who were Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu?

Would they be embarra.s.sed because of the Eldest Prince’s teasing words?

The Eldest Prince hasn"t that influence yet.

Xiao Tianyao glanced at the Eldest Prince coldly, not even giving him a good look. Lin Chujiu said in a good-tempered way: "It"s been a long night. The Eldest Prince had a sleepless night last night, right?"

“This prince slept very well.” It was true that he had a sleepless night, but he would not tell Lin Chujiu.

Moreover, it was not that he couldn’t sleep because of the messy things. He had been thinking about what happened last night and whether there were any omissions.

Thinking about it, the biggest omission was that he was too soft-hearted and did not kill people to silence them, instead let them go, but…

He cannot kill his people.

Although he could afford to lose five martial G.o.ds, he had to kill enemies every time he went on a mission. How could he have so many men to kill?

But he did not kill anyone and silence him. He was worried that the people involved would betray him and expose the matter.

The more he thought about it, the more he was worried, and the more he was worried, the more his heart became confused, and then… he couldn"t sleep.

“It"s good that you sleep well. If I disturb His Highness’s sweet dreams, I would feel guilty.” Lin Chujiu glanced at the Eldest Prince’s unconcealed blackeye circles and smiled jokingly.

The Eldest Prince was indeed still too young as Xiao Tianyao said.

There was no big problem but he couldn"t sleep.

However, the younger the eldest prince was, the better it was for them. When the Eldest Prince grows up to be an iron-blooded and decisive Emperor, they won"t get any benefit at all.

“Lin Chujiu, what you said… doesn’t sound right."  Was he being mocked to his face?

“Your Highness, you think too much.” Lin Chujiu turned around decisively and ignored him.

Everything was done so soon. She only needs the Eldest Prince to calm down and does not need to explain to him. The Eldest Prince was no longer a child. He knew what he was doing.

Speaking of children, Lin Chujiu couldn"t help but glance at the young Seventh Prince who stood silently in the corner.

This half-month of living without seeing the light of day seems to have had a huge impact on this child. In just half a month, he has transformed from an arrogant little prince to a taciturn young man. This change was extraordinary.

She doesn’t know whether this change was good or bad for this n.o.ble little prince.

However, no matter good or bad, Lin Chujiu has no intention of acting as a close sister. They only need to know one of the princes of the Central Empire. They don"t live here, let alone depend on their country.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were both rational. They know what they want and what they should do, and they will not get lost easily.

"Xiao Qi, let"s go." The Eldest Prince was different. Seeing the Seventh Prince who seemed to be a different person, the Eldest Prince was full of guilt. He usually paid great attention to the Seventh Prince. When he saw the Seventh Prince hiding in a corner alone, he stepped forward and pulled the person out.

This was bad. The Emperor would not like a silent and gloomy prince, let alone the ministers. A prince who was not liked by the Central Empire would not have an easy time in the palace.

"Brother." The Seventh Prince looked indifferent as if he didn"t notice anything, but he was still respectful to the Eldest Prince.

Lin Chujiu saw it and smiled……

There were advantages to not being wise enough to calculate, and being too soft-hearted. The Eldest Prince has a unique charm. As long as the Eldest Prince keeps his true heart, his future path will get better and better.

"It"s getting late, let"s go, we won"t wait for the Third brother." The Eldest Prince pulled the Seventh Prince. He noticed the Third Prince delayed in coming, so his face was a bit ugly.

He said last night that he was leaving today. The whole group of them had been waiting on the deck for more than a quarter of an hour, but the third prince never showed up, which was chilling.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu naturally had no objections. They did not take the Third Prince seriously from beginning to end, and of course, the Third Prince did not take them seriously either.

The generals on the s.h.i.+p, as well as the martial G.o.ds accompanying the army, couldn"t help but sigh secretly when they saw this scene.

The Third Prince was too narrow-minded.

The Third Prince was not such a narrow-minded person before, why has he become like this now?

"Your Highness, walk slowly, Your Highness Seventh, take care." If the Third Prince didn"t come to see him off, it would be impossible for the generals on the s.h.i.+p, the black-armored guards, and the martial G.o.ds not to see him off.

Xuanyuan Zhi was the eldest prince of the empire. Now that he was going back, they must say farewell to him.

Some of them were reserved, and they just said things like taking care of themselves, and some of them were direct, and they said carelessly: "Your Highness, see you in the capital."

Had it not been for the Emperor"s orders, they all wanted to return to the capital with the Eldest Prince, lest they arrive late and there would be too many people around the Eldest Prince to see them.

"See you in the capital." No matter how simple and direct the Eldest Prince was, he still understood the meaning of these people"s words. To say he was unhappy was a lie, but as the Eldest Prince of the Central Empire, he must be calm and magnanimous. No matter how happy he was, he must endure it.

The group of people boarded a small boat bound for the empire. When the Eldest Prince"s boat was far away, the third prince did not appear. The generals on the boat became more and more disappointed, but…

By noon, the Third Prince still hadn"t appeared. Everyone was shocked to realize that something was wrong. They hurriedly sent people to find the Third Prince, only to find him lying on the bed with a fever.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong with you?” The accompanying generals were frightened.

Natural military doctors were accompanying them on the s.h.i.+p, but their medical skills were not very good. The Third Prince could tell that he was seriously ill at first sight, and he was not sure whether the military doctors accompanying him could cure him.

The Third Prince had already fainted from the fever, and it was impossible to answer. The accompanying general hurriedly called for a military doctor. The military doctor checked and found that the Third Prince was injured. The wound was not treated properly and was stained with seawater, which caused the fever.

However, finding the cause of the disease does not mean that it can be saved. The Third Prince"s condition was discovered too late, and it was already very serious. The military doctor could only try his best to treat him, but he could not guarantee that he could be saved.

"What can we do? Nothing can happen to the Third Prince." When the generals accompanying him heard this, they were almost scared to death.

If the Third Prince dies on the boat, everyone on the boat will be miserable.

Although they don"t need to pay for the Third Prince"s life, their future is completely gone.

“Let’s get off the sh.o.r.e first and send the Third Prince back to the capital.” If the military doctor was not good, the palace doctor could do it, right?

Moreover, they sent the Third Prince back early, and he was alive anyway. As for whether the Third Prince will die later, that has nothing to do with them. They have done everything they can.

But just as the generals accompanying the s.h.i.+p were preparing to send the Third Prince back to the capital, the Third Prince woke up and very stubbornly refused to return to the capital.

It would only be more embarra.s.sing for him to be carried back to the capital without knowing he was half-sick than to go back to the capital with Xuanyuan Zhi.

Those who don’t know may think that he was pretending to be sick, or that he was frightened and sick. Moreover, the journey was both water and land, so he may not be able to return to the capital……
