Chapter 221 The Daily Life of the Prince of the Palace (3)
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, starvation and death everywhere.
This is the world as seen by the original owner.
When Su Zhan found him, the other person's soul was on the verge of collapse.
A soul like this that was about to dissipate was of no value to the Soul Eaters. But after seeing the complete collapse and despair in his eyes, Su Zhan still accepted his obsession.
His father is alive and his family and country are safe. This is the obsession that Li Jinyuan, the eldest son of Zhennan Palace, has deep in his soul and will never forget.
Su Zhan came back to his senses from the memory of the original owner and said to Si Ya lightly, "Those maids who were gossiping behind my house sold them all."
Dare to criticize the master behind his back, selling is considered a light thing.
Si Ya was trembling. He had wanted to take action before, but he didn't have the right. Now that he had received the order from his master, he suddenly started to tremble.
Early the next morning, Si Ya and Commander Zhou arrested the maids and sold them in front of the whole family.
This warning silenced everyone in the palace who had been thinking a lot recently. Only then did they remember that the prince was still the prince and the master of the palace. Even if he might die at any time, it was not something they could plot against.
Li Jinchao heard about this as soon as he came back from the mansion, and his heart suddenly tightened because he knew that one of these maids was his mother's maid.
Although others didn't know that the maid was his mother's, he had seen his mother asking the maid to do things.
Li Jinchao came all the way to his mother's small yard and saw her with a gentle smile, holding flower scissors and pruning a camellia in the yard.
The flowering season of the camellia has long passed, so there are only patches of green leaves on the camellia.
His mother was pruning the branches and leaves carefully. There were no servants or maids around, so Li Jinchao subconsciously slowed down and hesitated.
But no matter how light his steps were, the only prince and concubine in the palace still noticed his arrival, raised her head and smiled softly, "Chao'er, you're here."
Li Jinchao's heart was filled with confusion, and he stayed in place for a long time. After a while, he pursed his lips and approached the concubine: "Mother, Hongqiao is yours."
Hongqiao was one of the maids who was sold this time, and she was also the maid he had seen who obeyed his mother's orders.
The concubine put the flower scissors in her hand aside, her expression was still as gentle and calm as ever, and there was no hint that she had any murderous thoughts towards her husband's legitimate son.
The concubine did not speak, but Li Jinchao suddenly felt chills all over his body. He clenched his fists tightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? He is my biological eldest brother."
The concubine's expression did not change because of her son's gaffe. She whispered words that almost tore Li Jinchao apart, "It's precisely because he is your eldest brother. As long as he is still here, you will never get ahead."
.”
"So you want to kill him?" Li Jinchao's eyes turned red.
Everyone knows that King Zhennan, the god of war in the Sheng Dynasty, had four sons. The eldest son is the heir apparent with an unassailable status. Even if he is in poor health, no one dares to question his status in King Zhennan's heart.
Besides the crown prince, the most famous person in the Zhennan Palace is the second young master Li Jinchao. He has excelled in martial arts since he was a child and is often praised for his fatherly style.
In fact, many people know in their hearts that the crown prince may fail at any time and at any time, and the next generation successor to the Zhennan Palace is likely to be Li Jinchao.
But Li Jinchao was the only one who didn't think so. He still remembered that when he was a child, his mother forced him to get up early every day to practice martial arts. One day, he was so tired that he sneaked out of the martial arts training ground and ran to an abandoned small yard to find a place and passed out.
He fell into a coma and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was getting dark. Only then did he start to feel scared and stumbled out.
But this place was one of the rare remote places in the palace. Li Jinchao was still a few years old at that time. Facing the empty courtyard and the dark night sky, he almost cried with fear.
Especially at that time, there were strong winds blowing from time to time, and with the whining of the wind, little Li Jinchao was so frightened that he trembled.
The yard was too big and he couldn't get out alone. He didn't know how long he stayed alone in the dark until finally a small figure holding a small lantern quietly found him.
From the time when Li Jinchao was a child, his eldest brother Li Jinyuan was the eldest son of the Zhennan Palace. Compared with his other brothers, his status was inherently superior.
Therefore, Li Jinchao never expected that after he disappeared for no reason, Li Jinyuan would actually look for him in person.
From that day on, in Li Jinchao's mind, his eldest brother was no longer associated with the two empty and indifferent words of Crown Prince, but a person of flesh and blood, his biological brother.
Li Jinchao brought back his memories from his childhood. For him, his eldest brother and mother were his closest family members.
Now his two family members are facing each other in life and death, and it is the most painful thing for him to be caught in the middle.
Li Jinchao bit his cheek hard until the smell of blood filled his mouth, then he gritted his teeth and said, "The throne of the Crown Prince will always belong to the eldest brother, and I will never compete with him."
Seemingly realizing the seriousness of her son's words, the concubine's unchanging expression finally changed. Her breathing quickened slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are also your father's son, and this is what you deserve."
"I have never competed with that woman in my life. You are my son, and you must be higher than Li Jinyuan."
At that time, the King of Zhennan was very heroic. When he returned in triumph with his army, countless young girls lined the streets to welcome him, and Princess Zhennan was not the only one who was in love with him.
Li Jinchao's eyes became more determined. His character was most similar to that of King Zhennan. He was equally determined and courageous. Once he made a decision, he would never change it easily.
Li Jinchao suddenly lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down to his concubine, "The Zhenbei Army is recruiting troops from abroad recently. The child has already had someone sign up before he came to his mother's place. He will follow the army to the north in seven days."
"The mountains are high and the road is long, the return date is uncertain, and life or death is unpredictable. The child will no longer be around, so I hope my mother will take care of her."
The concubine's expression changed greatly. The Zhenbei Army guards the northern desert all year round. The environment there is harsh and exposed to wind and sun every day.
More importantly, it was the farthest place from Beijing within the territory of Sheng Dynasty. Once you go there, you may not be able to come back for five or six years.
If anything happens in the mansion by then, it will be too late by the time Li Jinchao comes back.
"My parents are not far away, Li Jinchao, you, you are unfilial." The concubine turned pale with anger and slapped Li Jinchao hard on the face.
Five finger prints immediately appeared on Li Jinchao's face, which clearly showed that the concubine did not hold back at all in this slap.
