Chapter 298 I am upright and honest
The Seventh Prince was so angry he wanted to jump up and down, but he was almost at the door and didn't dare to be presumptuous. He could only keep his anger bottled up inside. He was already angry about what happened last night, and now he was even angrier and felt like he was about to explode!
But for now, he could only endure it. The Seventh Prince cursed inwardly, "That brat has no manners at all. I'm his uncle, how dare he step on my foot! He deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Whoosh... thud... thud... The Seventh Prince was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, his face turning as red as black.
"My lord, please calm down! My lord, please calm down!"
The head eunuch and guards on the side all knelt down. The eunuch only dared to shout that he should calm his master down. Looking at his master's expression, he didn't dare to say anything else.
The Seventh Prince, Situ Hui, kicked the kneeling eunuch beside him to the ground and cursed in a low voice:
"Shout louder! Shout louder! Let everyone hear that I, the Seventh Prince Situ Hui, am someone who only knows how to throw tantrums inside the house!"
The mockery they received last night, the contemptuous attitude of that brat today, and then being dismissed by their father with just a few words after entering the house, told to go back to their rooms and stay quietly—if they were treated equally, fine, but why was that brat being held by the father's hand and told to be obedient!
The Seventh Prince was about to explode with frustration; nothing seemed to go right!
Zhou Dajia, Zhou's advisor, looked grave. Yesterday's events had alarmed him. If it wasn't their side that made the move, then another force must have intervened. Who could it be? The situation was becoming increasingly unclear.
Seeing how angry the Seventh Prince was, yet still knowing to lower his voice and keep a low profile, Zhou Dajia sighed inwardly, thinking that the Seventh Prince had indeed grown a lot.
"Your Majesty, although the Emperor did not say much today and only told all the princes to go back to their rooms, this order was not directed at you alone. It seems that the Emperor did not suspect you about yesterday's events, which is a good thing."
"What do you know! He's just the son of a mere minister, so what if he dies? He never cared about me, humph! I am the Emperor's son, I am upright and honest, and even if they investigate, I am not afraid if I didn't do it."
Zhou Dajia was filled with bitterness. She had made a terrible mistake in taking this assignment. She had just thought that the Seventh Prince had matured a lot after this incident, but he immediately said such things, relying solely on his princely status to be aggressive and reckless. What kind of minister's son was he? Would an ordinary minister's son have made such a fuss?
After leaving the Emperor's place, Situ Yi and Situ Minghe did not return home, but instead went to find Jia Hu and Jia Zhen.
The young prince was very worried about the safety of his friend. He only caught a glimpse of him yesterday, and he didn't even get a chance to speak to Jia Hu today.
Upon returning, Jia Hu urged his grandfathers to rest. At this moment, only he and Jia Zhen were in the room. Upon seeing Situ Yi arrive, Jia Hu immediately thanked him for suggesting setting off fireworks the previous night.
Situ Yi smiled and said:
"In the end, I only said one sentence, and I didn't prepare the fireworks, so please don't be so polite. Besides, you should call me Uncle by my own name. Does Hu'er not recognize me as her Uncle?"
Jia Hu also laughed and said:
"Of course I acknowledge it. Uncle is great, but I should also express my gratitude."
"Alright, alright, Uncle and Hu'er, you two don't need to thank me like that. We're all friends!"
Situ Yi reached out and lightly tapped Situ Minghe on the forehead.
"so rude."
Situ Minghe didn't even feel the knock. He winked mischievously at his uncle, then turned and chatted with Jia Hu with a grin.
The matter needs to be investigated, and the ship must continue its journey. The Emperor has ordered a full-speed advance, which has greatly shortened the travel time. We will arrive in Jiangnan tomorrow.
