Seeing Ying Zheng suddenly smile, Zhao Chen was stunned.
What's going on? Could it be that my old man has been struck dumb by me?
Otherwise, why is he suddenly like this.
“Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you dumb?”
“What are you talking about, stinky boy? Okay, let's eat!”
After dinner, Ying Zheng directly chased him away.
“Stinky boy, you can leave now.”
“Um…………”
Seeing the situation, Zhao Chen naturally knew what would happen next, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
“Dad, you're getting old, you have to take it easy, too much is bad for your health.”
“Stinky boy, you're so smart for your age, get out.”
Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost drew his Heaven-Asking Sword.
Unfortunately, Zhao Chen had already run away.
“Hehe, this stinky boy!!”
“Your Majesty, Chen'er is a bit reckless, and……”
“Don't worry, my dear, I'm not angry. Chen'er has done something great these past few days. I've made a promise that no matter what he asks for, I'll agree to it. You guess, what did he ask for?”
Hearing this, Xia Shi's face tightened.
She had been in the Xianyang Palace for so long, how could she not know that since the King ascended the throne, he had never made a promise to anyone.
Her son was the only one.
Could it be that he had made some outrageous request?
Thinking of this, Xia Shi was immediately terrified, and hurriedly said.
“Your Majesty, Chen'er is still young, if he makes any unreasonable requests, please forgive him.”
“What are you doing, I'm not angry. Even if he asked me for the position of Crown Prince, I would have no hesitation in making him the Crown Prince.
In fact, I was even eager for him to make such a request, but he didn't.
He only asked for a reward for those craftsmen, and also asked for the Luo Net organization.”
“What? Your Majesty, you…………”
Xia Shi looked at Ying Zheng in shock.
How could it be, the King actually wanted Chen'er to become the Crown Prince, the next King of Qin.
At this moment, Xia Shi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
She was happy that her son was so loved by the King, but worried that she was just a palace maid, with no power or influence, and no family support behind her. Could she really protect her son?
The competition in the palace was very fierce, Chen'er had six elder brothers before, among them the eldest son Fusu and Prince Gao had the support of powerful forces behind them.
If the King now made Chen'er the Crown Prince, then Chen'er would become the target of everyone, and he might be in a lot of danger.
“Your Majesty, the position of Crown Prince is of great importance. Chen'er is only three years old, I'm afraid he can't handle it. Please do not make Chen'er the Crown Prince! At least not now.” Xia Shi said with a worried face.
“My dear, I know you are worried, but don't forget, Chen'er is the reincarnation of a sage, and when he was born, the heavens celebrated, with auspicious omens filling the sky.
And now, Chen'er has the support of the Daoist, Yin-Yang, and Zongheng schools behind him. He's not weak in power at all, you don't need to worry about safety.
Look at his side now, the direct disciple of the Daoist Bei Mingzi, the Yin-Yang school's Dong Jun, Yue Shen, and the future elder of the Mu department are all protecting him.
Around this Weiyang Palace, there are many Black Ice Platform guards, rest assured, nothing will happen.”
“But……”
Xia Shi wanted to say something else, but Ying Zheng stopped her.
“Okay, I know you're worried about Chen'er's safety and afraid that someone might assassinate him. But as the future Crown Prince, the King of Qin, how can he survive without going through storms? I assure you, I will definitely keep Chen'er safe.”
This was the first time Ying Zheng had made a promise to a woman.
It shows how much he loves Zhao Chen, to the point of spoiling him.
In fact, Ying Zheng also has selfish motives.
That is, he absolutely cannot let Zhao Chen have a smooth journey in the future.
He even thought about creating some trouble for him later.
You know, I went through hardships before I returned to Qin.
Since I went through hardships in my youth, how can I let you have a smooth journey?
Thinking back to his time as a hostage in Zhao, he was not living like a human being. The nobles of Zhao would come to mock and laugh at him for no reason. Even the guards and maids he brought with him looked down on him, the prince, because Zhao had repeatedly lost to Qin, and whenever they had any anger, they would vent it on him and his mother, Zhao Ji, repeatedly trying to kill him. Finally, he hid in the "Black Dao Wealthy Family" and survived. Even his mother, Zhao Ji, was once a plaything of the nobles.
At that time, he began a six-year period of darkness. Every day, he was accompanied by darkness and coldness, lacking fatherly love, relying on his mother for company, living a life of being hunted down by the enemy state, hiding and fleeing, and lacking a sense of security, even making him somewhat inferior.
He was still a little scared and angry when he thought back to those dark days.
Since I've been through the rain, how can I let that stinky boy stay under an umbrella?
Although he won't let the stinky boy experience darkness, he should still have some minor setbacks.
He absolutely can't let him have a smooth journey.
Humph!
Zhao Chen: Achoo, achoo, who's thinking of me?
“My dear, rest assured, Chen'er is much stronger than you imagine. I will not let him be in any danger.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“Okay, it's late, time to rest.”
“Um”
………………
Tonight, for the first time, Zhao Chen slept alone, but he couldn't sleep. After all, he was either held by Yan Fei sister or Yue Shen sister when he slept.
After getting used to it, now sleeping alone, he really couldn't sleep.
He slept until dawn, feeling drowsy.
Hmm, did I break through to the Innate Realm last night?
Feeling the true energy in his body, Zhao Chen said in surprise.
It's really amazing!
What should I do today?
Right, make money, slaughter those nobles.
Nobles of the Six Kingdoms: Don't come over here!
“Young Master, are you awake?”
“Yue Shen sister, come in!”
“What are you planning to do today, Young Master?”
“Yue Shen sister, accompany me to find Qing Jie, it's time to make a fortune.”
“Young Master is planning to leave the palace, no, Your Majesty has ordered that you cannot leave the palace. If you want to see Ba Qing, I'll bring her into the palace to see you.”
“That won't work, I have to leave the palace to see Qing Jie?”
“Why?”
“Naturally……naturally……”
For a moment, Zhao Chen couldn't find a good excuse.
Seeing this, Yue Shen looked at Zhao Chen with suspicion.
“Young Master, you wouldn't just want to leave the palace to play, would you!”
“Ahem, how could I? I really want to find Qing Jie to discuss how to make money with white paper.”
“Really……?”
“Oh, it's true, Yue Shen sister, don't you believe me? Besides, I'm not weak now, look!”
Zhao Chen stretched out his palm, and a golden dragon circled on his hand.
True energy transformed into a dragon, and it was extremely solid. Yue Shen felt a powerful destructive force from the golden dragon.
“Young Master, you've broken through to the Innate Realm.”
“Yeah, how about it, amazing, right?”
“Amazing!”
Not only amazing, but simply a monster.
From an ordinary person to the Innate Realm overnight, it's truly unprecedented.
“Then I'll go and ask Your Majesty first. As long as Your Majesty agrees, I'll take you out of the palace.”
“Oh, what do you need to ask for? We can just go out, right? I'm sure Dad won't say anything?”
“This…………”
“Could it be that Yue Shen sister is not confident? Can't you protect me with your strength? Then I'll go find Yan Fei sister.”
“No, I'll take you out of the palace.”
“Hmm hmm!”
Hehe, got it, the strategy of provocation works.
“Yue Shen sister, let's go to the Ministry of Works first to get some white paper and then leave the palace.”
“Understood!”
Soon, a carriage drove out of the Xianyang Palace.
