Princess Medical Doctor-Chapter 950: Shocking changes, unpredictable events
The Eldest Prince and his party did not stand at the city gate for long when they saw dust rising in the distance, and not long after, the flag of the Imperial Royal Guards appeared in front of everyone.
That's right, the 100,000 troops given to the Third Prince by the Emperor were the imperial royal guards. They were most loyal to the Emperor, and naturally also loyal to the Third Prince. That's why the Eldest Prince obediently handed over the power without trying to snatch it.
Faced with an eccentric father, robbery is the most useless method.
Soon the military flags were getting closer and closer, and everyone saw the energetic and energetic third prince sitting in front of him. Looking at the Third Prince surrounded by a group of soldiers, if the Eldest Prince and others didn't feel sad, that would be a lie, but…
But what if they feel sad?
They have a partial father. No matter how sad they were, they had to endure it, and no matter how unhappy they were, they still had to laugh.
This was the Imperial power. Even if they don’t climb to the highest position, they have to live their lives based on other people’s faces.
In the distance, the Third Prince and his entourage stopped. As the dust gradually died down, the Third Prince got off the carriage and walked over with his guards. The Second Prince and others immediately raised their smiles and led a group of civil and military ministers to greet them.
"Second Brother, thank you for your hard work to come out and pick me up." The Third Prince has always been a gentle and polite person. He stepped forward quickly from a distance and lowered his attitude first. However, although he lowered his attitude, he still did not put the First Prince in his eyes.
"Fourth brother, Fifth brother, Sixth brother, Seventh brother, thank you for your hard work. As well as all the lords, who are so virtuous. This prince, Wei, had bothered you all to welcome me personally." The full name of the Third Prince was Xuanyuan Wei, who was chosen by the emperor himself.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. Your Highness has made great achievements in suppressing bandits and deserves our welcome." The Third Prince's reputation is at the peak of his power. If he doesn't do things like icing on the cake now, how long will he wait?
"Third Brother has done great work, why won't this younger brother come?" The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince responded with a smile. The Seventh Prince stood aside in silence. The Eldest Prince was still ignored by everyone. While the Sixth Prince continues to maintain his aloof attitude and avoids getting close to others.
The Third Prince glanced at him, then walked up to the Seventh Prince, reached out and touched his head, and said lovingly: "Seventh Brother, what's wrong? Are you not happy that the third brother is back?"
These words were heart-breaking. The Seventh Prince was startled and resisted the urge to slap the Third Prince's hand away. He forced a smile and said: "What's the third brother saying? How could this younger brother not welcome you? Seeing that the third brother is fine, this younger brother is so happy."
I'm so happy that I can take revenge myself!
"It's good that Seventh Brother is happy. Third Brother thought that Seventh Brother was angry with Third Brother for not sending you off in person that day. You can't blame Third Brother for this. Third Brother was busy with the official business at the time." The Third Prince looked like a good brother. The seventh prince felt aggrieved but did not dare to say anything. He could only smile innocently: "I don't blame the third brother. I am very happy that the third brother can come back safely."
Explain? What could he say?
The Third Prince looks like a kind and good brother. If he doesn't give the third prince in public, that means he is making trouble unreasonably and does not have the demeanor of a prince.
"Since the Seventh Brother said so, I feel relieved. The third brother came back this time and brought you a lot of gifts, which will be sent to your palace later." The Third Prince showed his love for his brother in front of all the courtiers. After showing affection, he continued to greet the courtiers.
The Seventh Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly turned to look at the Eldest Prince. Seeing the Eldest Prince looking at him with a worried expression, the Seventh Prince showed a faint smile.
Not every brother was like his Third Brother, this was enough.
The Third Prince returned victorious today. Except for not catching any bandits alive, everything was perfect. After a while of greetings, the Third Prince asked someone to carry two million taels of gold to show his success.
Everything went very smoothly, but just when the welcoming ceremony was over, and they were about to return to the palace, an accident happened!
A group of people appeared out of nowhere, pushing two large carts into the city. Before they reached the city gate, they were stopped by the guards brought by the Third Prince. While the two sides were fighting, the cart was knocked down…
*Rumble* The blinding gold bricks poured down from the cart, blinding everyone for a moment.
"The gold bricks, the gold bricks, these are the gold bricks presented to the Emperor by ordinary people. Quick, pick them up quickly, don't let it be robbed by others."
"The gold bricks, the gold bricks, don't rob them, no one is allowed to rob them. These are the gold bricks that are dedicated to the Emperor."
“Gold bricks, so many gold bricks.”
"……."
Seeing the gold bricks scattered on the ground, the guards who were blocking him were shocked. They had just seen the Third Prince offering two million taels of gold, but the distance was far away, and they were far less shocked than the gold bricks falling in front of them.
“What happened?”
How could such a big commotion go unnoticed, not to mention that? the second, fourth, and fifth princes arranged all this
The Second Prince and his party immediately stopped, pointed to the place where the trouble was taking place, and asked people to go and inquire.
People don’t have to get close to see the shining light of the gold bricks. The light makes people happy but also makes people deeply uneasy, such as the Third Prince.
The Third Prince knew very well where he got these gold bricks. To fulfill his plan and to add merit to him, his maternal family almost emptied their wealth to get these gold bricks for him, so that he could use them to make meritorious deeds.
These gold bricks he had were not given to the bandits by the Eldest Prince at all but were made privately by his people. Now that a batch of gold bricks suddenly appeared, he could not afford to think too much.
The Third Prince immediately looked at the Eldest Prince and saw that the Eldest Prince had a calm face as if he didn't know anything. On the other hand, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince looked at him with sarcasm.
In an instant, the Third Prince understood what was going on. His hands and feet suddenly became cold and his eyes felt dizzy.
This was the case, he fell into the trap set by the others.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, what's going on…" The Third Prince opened his mouth to ask, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the person who came to report: "Your Highness, there are some fishermen in the front. They said when they were at the sea, they picked up a boatload of gold bricks, totaling 200 taels of gold. They didn't dare to devour it privately, so they wanted to send it to the imperial capital and present it to the Emperor."
"200 taels of gold bricks? Bring them here and take a look." The Third Prince wanted to be a troublemaker and drive the people away, but the Second Prince got there first.
Although the Third Prince was worried, he did not dare to say anything for fear of showing too much and making people suspicious. However, no one present was an idiot. If it were just a gold brick, no one would think much about it. However, the person reporting the report emphasized that ‘200 taels of gold bricks.'
The number cannot be a coincidence. There were not so many coincidences in this world.
In an instant, the officials surrounding the Third Prince took a step back in tacit agreement, as if they had made an appointment.
It was a good thing to achieve merit, but if the merit was false, it would be a crime to deceive the Emperor. No matter how partial the Emperor could be, the Third Prince will have no way out.
A prince with evil intentions and a pretentious desire for success cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of being crown prince……
