Chapter 984: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and six)
When they suddenly heard the Seventh Prince's inner voice, everyone pretended to be unaware and would not ask anyone rashly. However, judging from the behavior of the Emperor and the other princes, perhaps many people had heard the strange voice.
The princes looked at each other's understanding expressions and realized that they were not the only ones who had heard. They were always wary of the unknown, so why did they suddenly know the Seventh Prince's inner thoughts?
Is it that God can't stand Old Seven hiding behind the scenes and pretending to be honest? Or is there some kind of witchcraft at work?
Zhao Jian had never felt the feeling of being surrounded by brothers. Although they cared about him, he would rather his brothers not care about him, so that he would not be so weak, pitiful and helpless.
Facing the princes' rivalry, Wei Ying's expression did not change at all, except that his hand holding the reins loosened, and it looked like he would not leave immediately.
After a long while, Wei Yingcai said:
"It's getting late. It's dangerous deep inside the hunting grounds at night. Prince Qing, Third Prince, Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, let's hurry up and get out."
A son's status depends on his mother's. Zhao Jian's biological mother had passed away, and she was so malicious towards Concubine Shu and the Eighth Prince behind their backs. If Concubine Shu hadn't raised Zhao Jian, he would have died long ago.
Sun Chongyi died of complications during childbirth. The Sixth Prince she gave birth to died because his adoptive mother, Concubine Xi, often used the Sixth Prince to curry favor with him. The Sixth Prince fell ill too many times and eventually became seriously ill and died.
Shufei was a high-ranking concubine after all. Her own fifth prince was weak and unfortunately died young. In order to consolidate her position, she adopted the seventh prince, but she disdained to use children to curry favor, so Zhao Jian rarely fell ill from childhood to adulthood, and received all the treatment that a prince should have.
In the eyes of the eldest prince, the third prince, and the eighth prince, Concubine Shu had done her utmost to be kind and righteous to Zhao Jian, but Zhao Jian did not even wish Concubine Shu any good. He was truly heartless.
These princes naturally wanted to stay away from such brothers, but they were also angry in their hearts, thinking that Zhao Jian dared to frame them like that.
But teasing Zhao Jian was pointless. It was no fun to bully a timid person. If these princes didn't know that Zhao Jian might be cursing them in his heart, they really wouldn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Jian.
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Marquis Annan is right. Eighth brother, you and I will ride on horseback first. The two of you should also hurry up and take the Third and Seventh Princes with you so that we can get to the camp as soon as possible so that we can provide them with medical treatment."
"As you command, Prince Qing."
The eldest prince left first, followed by Wei Ying and Qingli, and the eighth prince also left.
Two guards were riding horses with the seventh prince and the third prince respectively.
Every time the horse sped up, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and it had to turn from time to time and bump into rocks, which made the two people on the horse very embarrassed.
The third prince was fine, he could endure it. His injury was on his leg, so he had someone wrap a thick layer of cloth around his leg so that he wouldn't feel particularly uncomfortable when the body was bumpy.
Zhao Jian felt that he was very unlucky. He was injured in his lower back. Because of his image, he could not lie on the guard. The pain was so severe that he became numb and his head was dizzy.
When he was carried down from the horse by the guards, he was finally able to pass out with peace of mind.
The emperor had started the autumn hunt with high hopes but returned disappointed. He was very upset. He didn't understand why, when something happened to his son, he suspected his brother of being the culprit even though the matter had not been clarified yet and it seemed more likely that the Mongolians and the islanders had taken the opportunity to cause trouble.
Could it be that his sons had already harbored deep resentment?
Was this done by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince? The Emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and the results came out quickly.
The first batch of killers were not Mongolians, but underworld organizations from Zhao State.
These martial artists dared to assassinate the emperor because they were either dissatisfied with the imperial rule or were instructed by someone. The emperor also believed that someone had given them great benefits.
