Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning
Chapter 8: Assassination in the Alley of Beijing
Li Jiao temporarily gave up the idea of using points to buy secret books and decided to sign in for a few more days. Maybe he would get a points gift package or some martial arts secret book.
Arriving in the capital, Li Jiao should have felt like he was home, but when he thought about how the original Prince's Mansion had been taken back by the Emperor, and he had been demoted to a commoner, no longer a prince, and did not have his own palace.
Now, he is like a homeless stranger in the capital, even worse than the ordinary people in the capital. At least they have their own houses. It cannot be called a luxurious house, but being able to own a property in the capital makes him a winner in life.
Li Jiao thought to himself, "I, the former crown prince, am really disappointed to let Yun Ni wander around with me. Father, you are forcing me to death. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
This Li Jiao is no longer the same Li Jiao. He inherited the memory of his previous life, and his mind still retains the love his father showed him when he was young, but more of it is the indifference his father showed him when he was a teenager.
Li Jiao's soul was reborn as the deposed crown prince. His feelings towards his adopted father were even weaker than those of his previous life. The most profound memory he had was his father's decree to depose him from the throne.
There have been many deposed princes since ancient times, and fathers, sons, monarchs and ministers would still give them some face. However, Emperor Weilie of Daxia not only severely reprimanded Li Jiao in the edict to abolish the prince's position.
The most heartless thing was that after the emperor ordered Li Jiao to be driven out of the East Palace, he no longer granted him a residence. As a result, the deposed prince had no residence of his own and became a laughing stock of the people in the capital, like a dog that had lost its home.
Yun Ni looked at the deposed prince with a frosty face and said, "Your Highness, I can pawn my jewelry for money and find a cheap inn where we can stay for a few days."
Although she didn't understand why His Highness was so eager to return to the capital, she supported His Highness's decisions in every possible way, even if she could only contribute a little.
Li Jiao looked at Yun Ni, the coldness on his face had disappeared, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. He said to Yun Ni: "You are good to me, I will double compensate you in the future."
After hearing the former prince's words, Yun Ni was at a loss. Her face turned red and she looked extremely beautiful. Li Jiao couldn't help but kiss Yun Ni.
The little girl was a little shy, but she didn't choose to run away. She said to Li Jiao: "Your Highness, let's find a pawnshop and exchange some silver!"
Li Jiao stopped him and said, "Those are your favorite jewelry? Are you willing to part with them? Even if you are willing to part with them, I am not willing to do so. Even if you are poor, you cannot go to a pawn shop. I will find a way to get the money."
Yun Ni was about to say something but stopped herself. As the prince's personal maid, she knew very well Li Jiao's financial resources.
When he was the crown prince, he was kind and generous, and kept many retainers. He had already used up the crown prince's mansion's savings over the years, so how could he have any spare money?
What made people most infuriating was that some retainers stole a lot of good things out of the Prince's Mansion when it was about to be closed. I was weak and couldn't bring myself to ask for them back.
Li Jiao asked, "Yun Ni, do you still remember who stole things from my Prince's Mansion?"
Yun Ni said, "Your Highness, I remember them all! I didn't miss a single treasure. Since you had no intention of recovering them at the beginning, I didn't dare to mention it."
Li Jiao said: "You did a good job. Show me the account book quickly. I will come to your house to take back all the things that belong to me."
After Li Jiao was deposed as the crown prince, his retainers scattered like birds and beasts. They all distanced themselves from your Highness, and some even spread rumors about him that sounded so convincing that they could be mistaken for the real thing.
After the common people listened to the lies told by the former prince's followers, his reputation deteriorated even more.
After all, those guests had stayed in the Prince's Mansion for quite some time, and what they said was very convincing.
In fact, they were just bribed by other princes and turned against them. They were giving their allegiance to the new master. Nothing could be more sinister than this.
