The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

He walked towards Jiujiu, who was riding a big brown bear and having a great time with Yu Wanyin.

The people were puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince risked his life to find gold mines and found them. This is considered a great achievement!"

"Why did the emperor just look at him with relief? Didn't he say a word?"

"Look at the emperor heading towards the little girl riding the big brown bear. What's going on?"

"That little girl can stand next to the prince and help him speak without stage fright. It shows that her status is extraordinary."

"She shouldn't be the petty little princess in the rumors, right?"

"She is that little princess. Didn't you hear that she called the prince brother just now?"

"Oh, I heard it, but forgot about it."

"But even if you are a princess, the emperor can't leave the prince behind? Is it more important for the princess? Or for the prince?"

The prince sighed as he listened to the whispers around him who wanted to say something but didn't dare.

Ugh--

You don't understand.

Our family values ​​girls over boys.

It doesn't matter what he can do as the prince, or what achievements he has made. He can't change the family's preference for girls over boys, and he has no intention of changing it.

Because he also likes his sister very much.

My sister is also really lovable.

He hopes that everyone in the world will like his sister.

The prince thought, and followed Emperor Zhaoning with a smile to see Jiujiu. Jiujiu had just appeared on a big brown bear and helped him a lot.

If it weren't for Jiujiu, he wouldn't be able to prove his innocence even if he yells at the top of his lungs.

The people were even more puzzled.

"This prince doesn't blame his father for paying more attention to the princess than him?"

"The prince is really broad-minded and worthy of being a prince."

Prince: "..."

This world is so baffling.

That's not what you said just now.

The news that Xi Chu had found a gold mine and chosen a day to mine it spread throughout the world overnight.

After becoming deserters, several deserters flew away, and those deserters who did not join the others in slandering and slandering the prince also knew about it.

It was known that all the people who followed the prince into Mushan to search for gold mines came out safely, no one was left behind, and all of them had been promoted and had their salaries increased.

They regretted it greatly.

Had they known this, they would not have been deserters.

There is no need to live the miserable days like now, without a fixed place to live, being wanted by the court, not having enough to eat, not having enough clothes to wear, and not being able to live in peace for a day.

They will also make it out of Mushan alive, and then be promoted to higher positions, have higher salaries, become more prosperous, honor their ancestors, and become the pride of their families.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Since they have become deserters, they can never go back. They can only live in no fixed place and run around for the rest of their lives.

Otherwise, they will be taken back and tortured.

"Ugh……"

Several deserters looked sad and full of regret.

The Southern Kingdom also learned that Xi Chu had found a gold mine in Mushan.

Emperor Qingjing, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, was very angry.

"Fuyang Mushan has been abandoned by Western Chu for many years. People from our southern country can freely enter and leave there even without customs clearance documents."

"There, I, the Southern Kingdom, had countless opportunities to take it as our own. Unfortunately, we did not take action."

"Otherwise, the gold mine will belong to our southern country."

"If our southern country gets that gold mine, the current situation in Shenhong can be improved and great development can be achieved."

"Ugh……"

Emperor Qingjing is heartbroken!

Why is Xi Chu so lucky to find gold mines and choose a day to mine them?

but they could not find it.

The duck that reached its mouth also flew away.

Some courtiers reminded Emperor Qingjing, "Your Majesty, I heard that the second prince, Emperor Yichuan, went to look for gold mines!"

"Him?" Emperor Qing Jing sneered disdainfully, "A trash who only laughs and laughs every day without any thunderous skills will definitely be bitten to death by wild beasts if he enters the Mu Mountain."

"How could he possibly find gold?"

"Send someone to find his body!"

"Probably dead."

These words were said by Emperor Qingjing in a bad mood after he missed the gold mine. He didn't necessarily mean it, nor did he really want someone to collect his son's body.

He was really angry.

However, after the people who went to look for Emperor Yichuan came back, Emperor Qingjing could no longer keep his words.

Because Di Yichuan was really dead, there were no bones left after being bitten by wild beasts, only the blood-stained token to prove his identity was left, and a pile of fragmented bones.

After Emperor Qingjing heard the news, he was in a daze and blamed himself. He murmured: "That day, I said angry words, angry words. I didn't expect that Yichuan was really... really..."

The queen saw that Emperor Qingjing was sad about the death of his son, so she struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, Yichuan is gone, and you only have three sons, Chaoyang, Hewen and Dijiang."

"Hewen is addicted to wine and sex and cannot be reused. Dijiang, we gave up again."

"The most important thing now is our rising sun!"

"Please save Chaoyang? We can't let him continue to be a hostage, trapped in Xichu, and die in Xichu!"

"If he dies, our southern country will have no future."

"You're right." Emperor Qingjing nodded in agreement, "But, how to rescue Chaoyang?"

The Queen said: "The two copper mines and iron mines discovered in our southern country can be given to Xi Chu in exchange for our Chaoyang."

Emperor Qingjing was unwilling. He wanted to go to war to save Emperor Chaoyang, but he also understood that the Southern Kingdom might not win because their friendly country Mobei was unwilling to help them.

On their own, they may not be able to defeat Xi Chu, but will instead fall into a more rigid situation.

But what to do!

Do you really want to use two mines to pay off the debt so that you can get the prince back?

Quality museum.

Di Jiang, who is almost thirteen years old, is not like ordinary young people who are high-spirited, wearing bright clothes and angry horses. He is very calm, but also a little gloomy.

He doesn't like to laugh much. Apart from reading books and practicing martial arts every day, he just looks at the map of the southern country and analyzes the current situation. He is not as steady as a young man.

At this moment, he pointed to two locations on the map and said to Chu Yang: "My cheap dad will definitely give these two mines to Xi Chu in exchange for Di Chaoyang."

"Copper ore and iron ore?" Chu Yang was shocked, "No way, that is the lifeblood of the South Country! The manufacture of weapons depends entirely on these two mines."

"What you said is correct, but in his heart, Di Chaoyang is also his lifeblood." Di Jiang said slowly: "Di Chaoyang is the eldest son and the legitimate son. He values ​​​​it very much."

"The mine is gone, and you can look for it again, but Di Chaoyang is gone, and he probably feels that the future of the Southern Kingdom is gone."

Di Jiang shook his head, full of sarcasm.

"Your Highness..."

Chu Yang suddenly felt sorry for Di Jiang.

Compared with Di Chaoyang, Di Jiang's life was really hard.

He was not valued by Emperor Qingjing since he was a child, his biological mother died, and he was eventually abandoned to Western Chu as a hostage.

It seems to have been forgotten now.

Your Highness's life is really hard.

"Where's Jiujiu? Are you back?"

Dijiang also felt pain from years of differential treatment, but he didn't show it. His face was expressionless and he looked indifferent.

But, he wanted to see Jiujiu.

At this moment, his heart was desolate, and his whole body felt cold, so cold, so cold. He urgently needed the sunshine and warmth of the little sun.
