When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

What if it was instigated by someone with bad intentions?

The emperor closed his eyes. He also hoped that all this was not true, but why did General Chen never...

The emperor spoke woodenly:

"General Xiao found some clues, but he didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so... Queen, what if General Chen met the Fourth Prince in Border Town? No one knows what they talked about in secret, but soon the Border Town army mutinied. If General Xiao hadn't been in charge, Border Town would have most likely changed hands at that time."

The Queen interrupted the Emperor:

"What's the use of the Border City Army for the Fourth Prince? Does he dare to lead the enemy into the pass? Otherwise, the Border City Army is thousands of miles away from Kyoto. If he wants to use the Border City Army to fight back to Kyoto, even a woman like me knows that it is impossible."

If the Fourth Prince dared to lead the enemy into the pass, he would not be able to sit on that position. Neither the royal family nor the common people would support such a person to be the emperor.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince definitely did not want the military power of the Border Town Army, as it was of no use to him at all.

The main function of the border town army is to resist foreign enemies.

No matter who becomes the emperor, the Border Town Army will have the same function. Using it to assist the Fourth Prince in usurping the throne will not quench immediate thirst.

The emperor was not convinced by her. He held the queen's wrist and asked, "What if there is a gold mine in the border town?"

The Queen stared at the Emperor with wide eyes. Seeing that he was not joking, she asked tremblingly:

"Gold mine? When did Border Town have a gold mine? Is he going to use it to raise troops? Is the Fourth Prince really going to rebel?"

Tears fell from the Queen's eyes. It was the Fourth Prince again. So many people had died because of him. He had been imprisoned. How could he still cause trouble?

The emperor took the queen into his arms and hugged her tightly.

To comfort the queen who was frightened by him,

At this moment, he could not suppress his hatred for his deceased father no matter what.

It was he who gave the Fourth Prince ambition and confidence, which shows how reluctant he was to pass the throne to himself at that time.

He was the legitimate son of the queen and the most reasonable and legal heir to the throne. He was taught by his mother how to be a good emperor since he was a child and learned courses on governing the country.

The fourth prince has been a mischievous child since he was young, and each time he got into trouble was more outrageous than the last, but they were all covered up by his father. When the court officials couldn't hold on to him, his father would use someone else to take the blame for the fourth prince.

He couldn't remember how many times it had happened.

Even so, the emperor still wants to keep a trump card for the fourth prince. What is he going to do?

He never understood his father in his entire life. All his favorite children were bad guys. The Seventh Prince Cheng, the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince were all born to his father's former favorite concubine.

What else have they done besides bringing shame to the royal family?

Why does the emperor like such a son?

He couldn't understand why his father didn't even look at his obedient child.

Those who taught him at the beginning were all famous scholars, and everyone recognized his character and ability to do things, but his father was not satisfied with him and often scolded him.

He knew that his father didn't want him to inherit the throne.

He was forced to become emperor only because of the pressure from court officials using ancestral rules and etiquette, and then he left behind a lot of mess for himself.

After all these years, he was still causing him trouble.

He just didn't believe how the Fourth Prince, that playboy, could know that there was a gold mine in the border town. He had never been to the border town before, so who could have left it to him?

He knew without much thought that it was left by his father for the Fourth Prince.

His chest heaved violently and he could no longer suppress his anger.

After handing the queen over to the palace maids, he quickly left the queen's bedroom.

With a wave of his hand, someone landed at his feet, and the emperor said, "I want to go see my fourth brother today." The palace servants quickly arranged for the emperor to travel.

The emperor took a sedan chair and went to the Fourth Prince's Palace.

The Fourth Prince's mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Army, and people were not allowed to enter or leave.

The emperor looked up at the Fourth Prince's Palace with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. The location his father gave him was really the best, the place closest to the imperial palace.

Haha! No matter how close it is, it's not the palace.

The emperor entered the palace with a sullen look on his face.

The luxury of the courtyard in the Fourth Prince's Mansion is astonishing.

As you step into the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is an exquisite fountain, the water sparkling with crystal light under the sunlight.

The courtyard is surrounded by gorgeous flower beds, with colorful flowers competing for beauty and exuding charming fragrance.

In this season, there are still many gorgeous flowers blooming. Some petals are like gauze, light and flowing; some flowers are shaped like butterflies, with trembling wings, as if they will fly away in the next second.

There is also a kind of flower whose petals are transparent. The sunlight shines through the petals onto the ground, forming colorful spots of light.

As the emperor walked by, he saw these exquisite flowers and plants, which he had never seen even in the imperial garden of the palace.

Ha ha……

The emperor's face looked even worse.

Marble paths wind through the courtyard, with lifelike jade statues on both sides. There is also a unique pavilion in the courtyard, with a golden glazed tile roof that sparkles in the sun.

Golden yellow...really no shame.

In a corner of the courtyard, there is a unique rockery with green trees and gurgling water. There is also a small and exquisite pavilion in the rockery, which contains a gorgeous stone table and several exquisitely carved stone chairs.

The courtyard floor is covered with expensive Persian carpets, soft and comfortable.

The walls are inlaid with precious gems and jade, sparkling with dazzling light. The whole courtyard is filled with an atmosphere of luxury and nobility, as if you are in a fairy palace.

Entering the second gate, you will see a screen inlaid with gold and jade, with exquisite patterns carved on it, shining brightly. Walking along the corridor, you will see a thick carpet on the ground, as soft as clouds.

Coming to the living room, the high hanging crystal chandelier emits bright light, illuminating the entire space.

The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, each of which is priceless.

The furniture is made of fine mahogany, intricately carved, and inlaid with pearls and gems, exuding nobility.

A pair of crystal clear jade ruyi is placed on the Duobao Pavilion, and there are also rare treasures on both sides.

Precious ambergris is burning in the incense burner in the room, and the fragrance is intoxicating.

The luxury of the Fourth Prince's Mansion is astonishing, as if all the rare treasures in the world are contained within it.

Every decoration exudes an atmosphere of wealth, even more than that of the imperial palace.

The emperor sat on the main seat and said coldly to the eunuch:

"The Fourth Prince is confined in the palace to reflect on his mistakes. How can he think clearly in such a luxurious place? Is this how you do your job?"

No wonder the Fourth Prince is so fearless as he can live such a comfortable life even though he is imprisoned!
