Your Majesty! The prince of Qi is here to kidnap the little princess again!

The next day, Zhao Yang announced an important event in the court.

"Since the Fourth Prince has accomplished great things in defeating the State of Chu, he is handsome, studious, and talented, and has the demeanor of his father, my shadow. I now confer the title of King of Wei on the Fourth Prince!"

Then he said to his father-in-law.

"Please accept the order, Fourth Prince!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The ministers below were discussing the matter. Some were praising the Fourth Prince for being worthy of the title, while others were saying that the Emperor was confused, saying that the Fourth Prince was crowned a king before the Second and Third Princes, which was inappropriate.

"Why? Do you have any objections to my decision?"

"Your Majesty, no."

"If there is nothing else, then leave the court!"

After the court session, Zhao Rong went to find Zhao Jin.

Fourth brother, you will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities from now on and must stop playing around.

"Oh, I know. By the way, where is Bai Xuanyu?"

"In the East Palace"

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look."

East Palace——

"Brother... why bother? If you surrender, you might be able to save your country. Now that Chu has been destroyed, you have nowhere to go but to stay in Wei as a civilian."

"It's good to be a civilian. I don't have to shoulder so many responsibilities. Don't I want to be a civilian?"

"What will happen to those ladies if Chu is destroyed?"

"Let it fend for itself"

"This...what about the Queen?"

"Mother... I don't know whether she is alive or dead now. The Chu State has been destroyed, and I can't contact her..."

"Maybe she's still alive."

"But... I don't know where to find her. The former Chu Kingdom is in a state of disrepair now, and even the palace may be destroyed."

"Xing Yan, I'm back."

"Jin'er..."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, my mother may still be alive in the former Chu State. Can you allow me to go and look for her?"

"This... I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why?"

"You know the reason."

"Then can you help me go out and look for it?"

"I have just been crowned king, and I have a heavy responsibility and cannot leave without permission. However, I can ask my third brother to help you find it."

"Fourth brother...but, Third brother hasn't been seen for the past few days. How can we find him?"

Zhao Jin was startled by the sudden baby voice.

"Qing'er, when did you come?"

"Just now!"

"Fourth brother, I heard you were crowned king! You look so awesome!"

“It’s just so-so”

"Qing'er, let's go out and give the two brothers some space."

"Fourth brother, didn't you say you were looking for third brother? How are you looking for fourth brother?"

"I have signal smoke."

After a long time, Zhao Yan, who was strolling outside the palace, saw the signal smoke and hurried back to the palace.

"Hey, Third Brother, what have you been doing all day? You never come back to the palace."

"I just want to be an idle prince in the future"

Zhao Jin: ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ

"Third brother, I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"I want you to go to the former Chu imperial palace to see if there are any concubines left. Since you have nothing to do all day, it's most appropriate to send you there."

"Why don't you go?"

"I would like to, but I can't go. My father just issued an edict to make me a king. Now I..."

"Okay, I understand. Fourth brother, you are quite pitiful. I will take care of this matter. If there are still people over there, I will bring them back."

Zhao Yan - Oh, my brother is so pitiful. He was crowned king at the age of nine.

Qi Palace——

"Jingxuan? Are you okay? Why are you so absent-minded?"

"no"

"Don't try to deceive my brother"
