EBE Chapter 359: Has the old emperor met his nemesis this time?
Chapter 359: Has the old emperor met his nemesis this time?
The next day, the people spontaneously marched to denounce the prefect and the Third Prince for their shameful behavior.
Now, the Third Prince became infamous. When he went out, the crossbeam of his carriage broke for no reason, and he suddenly fell into a pit while walking on the road. The people looked at him with contempt and disgust.
Entering the palace, the Miaojiang King was so angry that he threw the memorial in his hand at the Third Prince: "Look at how many memorials impeaching you today? You are so stupid. You planned for so long, not only did you not let that evil beast get hurt, but you also lost tens of thousands of Gu people. Why don't you just die of stupidity?
Starting tomorrow, you will go to your fiefdom and are not allowed to return to Yongcheng without my permission!"
The Third Prince bowed and saluted, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were full of resentment.
After walking out of the palace gate, the Third Prince punched the tree trunk in anger: "My plan was also agreed by my father, but now everything is blamed on me and I am being driven away to my fiefdom? Do you despise me for being resented by the people? I got into trouble just to help him? Ah!"
The guard kindly advised: "Third Prince, as long as you have a green mountain, you will not be afraid of a lack of firewood. Don't get angry and hurt yourself!"
"Don't think I don't know. He just wants to drive me away so that he can train his other sons to succeed to the throne. What a wishful thinking! I will not be a human being if I don't kill him!" The Third Prince's eyes were full of hostility, causing the guards' hearts to tremble.
Two months later.
Yu Jiuer finally got the "thing" that Jun Mo mentioned, but it turned out to be an "old thing" who took advantage of his age and seniority.
As soon as the "old thing" got off the carriage and stepped into the witch village, he began to complain about everything. He was not happy with everything and had to criticize everything, as if his stomach was filled with gunpowder that was eager to explode and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't.
“Is this the path people walk on?”
"There's so much weeds and no one is cleaning them up? Are all the people living here dead?"
"How dare this damn place claim to be the number one home of poisonous insects in the world? How ridiculous!"
......
Yu Jiuer followed behind the "old thing" and listened to him complaining. The corners of her mouth twitched all the time. At first she tried to explain a few words, but later she was too lazy to pay attention to him and let him complain to his heart's content.
A group of servants surrounded him and served him. Eunuch Cao was so tired that he was out of breath, but he didn't say a single good word to him.
Before they reached the hut, Shang Buqun kindly reminded Yu Jiuer, "The master likes to insult people recently, so you should be more tolerant! Also, try to keep the people in the witch village away from him to avoid hurting innocent people."
Yu Jiuer hurriedly dispersed the villagers: "Everyone, go and get busy! This is the prince's...master, he has a weird temper, everyone, try not to get close to him, to avoid getting bitten!"
The "old thing" gnashed his teeth and yelled at Yu Jiuer: "Yu Jiuer, you are making up stories about me like this. Are you itching for trouble?"
His ferocious appearance just confirmed Yu Jiuer's words, and the villagers who had come to join in the fun dispersed.
Yu Jiuer shrank her neck and quickly found an excuse to escape.
After everything was settled and the food was served on the table, this "old thing" started to act up again, complaining that the food was too coarse and couldn't swallow it.
It took two months to travel from the capital to Miaojiang. Shang Buqun and Liu Qingyun seemed to have had enough. They both found excuses to stay away from this "old thing" and were unwilling to get close to him even when hearing his howling.
Poor old eunuch Cao, who had been with him all his life, had to coax him like an ancestor with great difficulty.
Yu Jiuer couldn't bear to watch this, and she was so angry that she took away the two dishes in front of him. When her temper flared up, she didn't care whether he was rude or not, and directly said:
"Eat if you want, or not. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry! You've lost the throne, but you're still so arrogant. No one else in the world can be like you!"
Having said that, he placed the dish in front of himself and started eating.
"Evil woman!" The old emperor was so angry that he threw his chopsticks down. Like a angry child, he stood up angrily, turned around and went into the house, slamming the door shut.
The Eighth Princess and the Sixth Prince were originally smiling, but now the smiles on their faces froze.
Yu Jiuer called them, "Eat, don't pay attention to him! Old and young, the older the younger, the younger the younger. If you go hungry for two meals, you will be good."
Shang Buqun and Liu Qingyun, who were squatting outside the door eating with their bowls in hand, looked at each other, raised the corners of their lips tacitly, buried their heads in the rice and continued to eat!
Finally, someone dares to speak up for justice. Has the old emperor met his nemesis this time?
With Yu Jiuer around, they suddenly felt relieved and relaxed.
Cool!
I have to eat two more bowls of rice tonight to make up for all the grievances I have suffered along the way.
Eunuch Cao lay on the door awkwardly, coaxing the old emperor through the door in a gentle voice: "Master, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. If you don't eat, you may not have such good food in Yinshan County! Come out and eat something!"
Yu Jiuer said loudly: "Eunuch Cao, that's not right, your uncle Cao will be replaced in the future, don't bother with him, some people are so strange, they can fill their stomachs by getting angry.
You've been tired all day, come and eat first! From now on, we will live the life of ordinary people, without so many particulars! Anyone who doesn't want to eat can just starve!"
As soon as Yu Jiuer finished speaking, the old emperor's door suddenly opened, and he shouted at Yu Jiuer fiercely: "I...I will let Moer divorce you and let him marry a virtuous and obedient woman to serve me!"
"Oh! Now that you remind me of this, I forgot to ask. Didn't you force me to choose a concubine for Prince Jing before? This time Prince Jing was demoted to Yinshan, and the two concubines I chose before all went to Yinshan County with him for the sake of your face?" Yu Jiuer said sarcastic remarks in a nonchalant manner, making the old emperor so angry that his face turned red and white.
Jun Mo has written to tell her: the concubine he had arranged before had broken off the engagement because she disliked him for becoming a poor prince. From now on, he is hers alone, so she can rest assured and use him!
Therefore, Yu Jiuer now used these words to confront the "old thing" in order to make him see his situation clearly.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Jiuer heard another "bang" sound. The old emperor slammed the door again and locked himself inside to sulk.
In the middle of the night, the old emperor, who was too hungry to sleep, kept shouting that his stomach ached. Eunuch Cao, who had been with him since he was a child, immediately understood what was going on. He hurried in and took out two meat buns from his arms and gave them to him.
The old emperor took it and gobbled it up, saying as he ate, "Yu Jiuer wants to starve me to death, no way!"
The next day, Yu Jiuer ordered everyone to set off for Yinshan County immediately. After all, the old emperor was here and the target was big. Even though the King of Miao had been much more honest in the past two months and did not dare to cause trouble, they still had to be careful.
Ever since Shang Buqun found out that the Eighth Princess was pregnant, his eyes seemed to be fixed on her and he couldn't move them away.
Yu Jiuer was afraid that the old emperor would become suspicious, so she didn't even dare to let the Eighth Princess come for breakfast.
As the team set off, Shang Buqun found an excuse to say to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, I plan to stay in Miaojiang to help the Sixth Prince. He now has a high reputation among the people. If he works harder and wins over the court officials, perhaps he will be the next Miaojiang King!"
The old emperor thought about it and nodded, "Alright! Anyway, there is no point for you to go to the barren land of Yinshan County, so why not stay here and help take care of the Eighth Princess! She is pregnant, you have to take care of everything and don't cause trouble for her!"
"Yes! I will definitely take care of her personally!" Shang Buqun spoke with a double meaning, his face full of respect.
The old emperor got on the carriage first with a proud look on his face!
The Sixth Prince said to Yu Jiuer, "Princess Jing, I learned through observing the signals sent by the mother Gu that there are about 50,000 Gu practitioners in Miaojiang. Once I summon their mother Gu, all the Gu practitioners will gather here on their own. It will only take half a year for me to make them all regain their sanity. Then, I will ask them to go to Yinshan County to find you?"
"No, I will come here in person to recruit them. Although we are their saviors, we can't force them, right? If they are willing, they can join you and me. If not, let them go home!"
"Okay! Have a safe journey then!"
While they were still talking, the old emperor shouted at Yu Jiuer impatiently: "Why don't you hurry up? If you can't make it to the post station or the inn before dark, I will hold you responsible!"
Yu Jiuer retorted bluntly: "You are penniless now, so you'd better be obedient. When you get to Yinshan County, I advise you to do more serious things and not to cause trouble for yourself every day and make things difficult for the prince."
"You...when we get to Yinshan County, I will let Mo'er deal with you, this vicious woman!" The old emperor swung the curtain down with force.
He had only eaten two buns since last night, and they were eaten by Eunuch Cao because she had hidden them in his arms and he had nowhere else to put them, so he "reluctantly" helped her eat them. He really didn't have the energy to fight with her.
