3875: Secret of Raoxi (3)

Secret of Raoxi (3)

As soon as the prince left, the king lost his temper. "That bastard!"1

The prince's stomach lurched. Could it be that his father…

The king went on. "How dare she?! Does she really think the Patriarch cares that much about her?!"

Hearing that, the prince was relieved and left in a hurry.

According to Zhao, they had been able to control the young eunuch, who was the one who started the fire. They then traced it back to Concubine Mei and found out that Princess Rao had something to do with it.

"Find out everything!" The king didn't want Princess Rao and the queen to have something to do with his illness.

But if they did… The king clenched his fists.

Meanwhile…

The princess had no idea that the king was already suspecting her.

She was happily preparing for her birthday party.

It was the following day.

When Princess Rao went to see the king, he was talking to the prince in the study.

The king patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Join the Ministry of Revenue first and work hard. I'm not the only one watching you. The Patriarch is watching you as well."

The prince was thrilled. He knew that the Patriarch must have taken his side when the king met him, so his father made this choice.

It was all because of little Feng Wu! At the thought of that stunning face, the prince felt a warm sensation in his chest.

"What are you thinking?" The king asked curiously.

The prince said, "I'm thinking about Feng…"

He then explained, "I mean, the Patriarch's junior sister…"

"Don't even think about it!" Before he could finish, the king smacked him on the head. "You already know she's the Patriarch's junior sister, and you're still thinking about her? Do you have a death wish?!"

Ahem…

The prince was so frustrated that he almost choked on his own breath.

He said hastily, "Father, I didn't mean it that way. I mean… I think it's all because of her recommendation that you're willing to see me. I'm so grateful."

Only then did the king nod. "Befriending that senior lady is indeed an opportunity for you. Make good use of it. Understood?"

The prince nodded immediately. "Of course."

However… the so-called senior lady…

She wasn't fifteen yet.

He was about to explain to the king that Feng Wu was the girl of the Junwu Empire and Jun Linyuan's fiancee. However, before he could say anything, he heard a voice outside.

Zhao said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the queen and Princess Rao are outside."

Zhao was a smart man.

Before, it was unclear who would take the throne, so he couldn't put his money on either side. However, now that he had investigated the burning of the imperial study and His Majesty's apoplexy, he knew everything.

There was also the interaction between His Majesty and the prince. The two of them hadn't been like this before.

Before, the prince would treat the king with great respect, but for a moment just now, Little Zhao felt they were real father and son.

To suppress the prince, Princess Rao and the queen did a lot of things to alienate the king and the prince, which created a big estrangement between them. But now, it seemed that the ice had broken…

At that thought, Zhao smiled.
