Chapter 629 - Madman
Chapter 629: Madman
Prince Ning Bei was extremely regretful at this moment. If he had known that this day would come, he would have gone to save his son. He would not have allowed that woman to harm a good child!
Zhao Xuzhi could no longer listen to anything.
He only knew that the Crown Prince had hurt him!
“Father… Avenge me. My arm is gone…” He muttered.
Prince Ning Bei’s face turned red. “I’ve done my best for you. You framed the Crown Prince. With the Emperor’s protection for the Crown Prince, would he be so generous as to spare your life? Think about the Second and Third Prince. What would happen if they did not respect their elder brother?! Not to mention a b*stard son of the royal family?! If not for the Emperor showing me mercy, you would’ve been executed by a thousand cuts. You deserve it!
“I’ve already taken care of everything for you. Although you’re locked up, you don’t have to worry about food and drink. If you’re bored, I’ll send someone to bring you some books every once in a while to relieve your boredom. But that’s all I can do. Also…”
Prince Ning Bei gave his son a deep look. “Your mother has passed away.”
Zhao Xuzhi stared at him in shock.
“You don’t have to blame others. I did this myself. That wretched woman ruined your life, so I’ll compensate you with her life!”
Then, Prince Ning Bei glanced at his son’s arm. “I’ve sent the concubine you wanted back to Xun County. Now that you’re like this, you shouldn’t harm others anymore.”
Then, Prince Ning Bei left.
“Father! Father, don’t go! Save me, Father!
“Father! Am I not your son?! Why don’t you care about me anymore?!”
Zhao Xuzhi threw his arm over, but his body fell to the ground from the momentum. He pressed on the wound, and not long after, the wound started bleeding again.
Zhao Xuzhi had never thought that he would be crippled one day.
He used to mock the Crown Prince as a cripple, but the Crown Prince’s right hand looked intact at least!
He could even hold something!
What about him?
Now, his entire arm was gone!
His father did not want him anymore. Was he really going to live in such a place for the rest of his life?
He did not understand what he had done wrong. Everyone said that he was not any worse than the Crown Prince. Even the Emperor praised him, no?!
Zhao Xuzhi laughed and cried like a madman.
At this moment, there were even more people outside who looked like madmen.
Although the emperor had yet to issue the decree officially, news of the Crown Prince’s request for a marriage in the palace had already spread.
Everyone was stunned.
They had thought of a candidate for the Princess Consort!
Before the marriage between the Dong family’s young lady and the Fourth Prince was decided, they thought Young Lady Dong would be the Princess Consort!
After all, that young lady was beautiful, intelligent, and talented!
Or perhaps it would be the Chu family’s young lady. Young Lady Chu was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. She was so beautiful that she could topple the country and the cities!
However, they never thought it would be Xie Qiao!
Moreover, many people thought the Xie family had received some kind of help from God since last year. A series of good things happened to them!
Xie Pinggang had been promoted and made a fortune twice in a row. The second young master of the Xie family was now Li Shiyan’s grand-disciple, Xiao Yurong’s second disciple!
Xie Niushan, the fool, had crossed a big hurdle!
Now, they were even making this lady of the Xie family the Princess Consort!
Was the Xie family going to ascend to heaven?!
The ministers who came out of the palace did not stay idle. After leaving the palace, they immediately sent people to investigate Young Lady Xie.
What kind of person could make a person who had been patient and did not want to marry suddenly make an exception?!
