Chapter 329 6 His Highness is Too Poor
Before dawn, the group finally managed to run back to the inner courtyard of the Glazed Palace.
The Eighth Princess, who was anxiously waiting in the palace, finally felt relieved when she saw that they had finally rescued the Sixth Prince.
"Sixth Prince, how are you?" The Eighth Princess greeted the Sixth Prince with a smile.
The Sixth Prince bowed and saluted to her: "Eighth Princess, may you be safe! I have no way to repay you for saving my life. For the rest of my life, I will be yours!"
Shang Buqun suddenly felt that this was very offensive. He frowned and scolded: "What dirty talk are you talking about?"
The Sixth Prince knew he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "What I meant is that I am willing to be a slave in this life to repay the princess for saving me!"
"You're welcome! It was my fourth brother and the Prime Minister who saved you. I just benefited from them!" The Eighth Princess waved her hands repeatedly.
The Sixth Prince then kowtowed to Jun Mo and Shang Buqun to express his gratitude.
Jun Mo waved his hand at him: "Stand up! You are a prince after all, kneeling at every turn is disgraceful!"
"What kind of prince am I?" The Sixth Prince said self-deprecatingly, "My mother was a foot-washing maid, and I was born after she was raped by that drunk devil.
The devil felt that it was beneath his status to favor a palace maid, so he found an excuse to banish my mother to the cold palace. When I was five years old, he discovered that I was in the cold palace.
The Sixth Prince was immersed in painful memories, "But it has only been more than a year since we left the cold palace, and the Imperial Master said that I was destined to bring bad luck to my parents, and that cruel demon wanted to kill us both.
My mother was originally a witch. Before she died, she used her last breath to cast a spell on him, combining his life with mine. If I live, he lives. If I die, he dies! That’s why I have the chance to live to this day!"
Yu Jiuer looked at his skinny body and knew that he must have suffered a lot. Her eyes were full of sympathy: "What happened next? Have you been imprisoned in the dungeon of Qinghe Palace since your mother died?"
The Sixth Prince shook his head: "After my mother died, the devil threw me to the old concubine in the palace to raise. The old concubine had no children and used me to compete with other princes all day long. She didn't show me any warmth.
My daily workload was so heavy that I could hardly even get enough sleep. If I made the slightest mistake I would be severely beaten!
But she was old after all, and I had only been with her for two years before she died of a cold."
The Eighth Princess asked with a distressed look on her face: "What happened next?"
How could a child of seven or eight years old suffer so much?
The Sixth Prince continued to narrate his miserable life: "After that, I was thrown to Concubine Xing. She thought I was unlucky and blamed me for staying with her. Even the devil didn't want to get close to her. She poked me with a needle every day to vent her anger and abused me all day long. I even had to fight with her dog for a meal.
A year later, she accidentally fell while eight months pregnant, and died! Since then, I have been labeled as having bad luck, and anyone who comes into contact with me will be entangled in bad luck. No one in the palace dared to accept me anymore."
Yu Jiuer asked him suspiciously, "Then the old concubine and Concubine Xing didn't both die at your hands, did they?"
This is how it's done in TV dramas.
The Sixth Prince smiled bitterly, but he dared to take responsibility: "Princess Jing is indeed very smart! But the old concubine really died of illness, I did not kill her.
Even if she used me to compete with others, at least I could eat and wear warm clothes, and I was happy with the heavy workload. As for Concubine Xing...it was I who secretly poured the oil on the steps that caused her to fall and die. I just wanted to vent my anger at the time, and I didn't expect that she would die. "
"There is a cycle of cause and effect in this world. You reap what you sow! You can't blame you for everything!" The eighth princess felt her heart tighten when she heard this.
The Sixth Prince is so pitiful!
Jun Mo was not as sentimental as the Eighth Princess. He immediately thought of the key to the problem: "When Concubine Xing died, you were more than nine years old, right? During that period, Miaojiang was liberated from the dependent countries of Beirong. In order to win over our Great Dong Dynasty, the King of Miaojiang sent you to our dynasty as a hostage. I think he had bad intentions at that time!"
Yu Jiuer echoed, "Yes! If he was sincere in forming an alliance, why didn't he send another prince, but sent someone with a bad reputation? Did he want to pass on the bad luck to the Great Dong Dynasty? I'm sorry, Sixth Prince! I'm not saying anything bad about you. I don't believe this at all, I just want to denounce the shamelessness of the Miaojiang King."
"You're right! He was reluctant to send other princes there, so he sent me, the unlucky one! Little did he know that I lived a peaceful and stable life there, and was fortunate enough to meet the kind-hearted Eighth Princess." The Sixth Prince looked at the Eighth Princess with a grateful face, and continued,
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After only one year, I returned to Miaojiang. After I came back, I was locked up in a dungeon until today.
Fortunately, the old eunuch who was in charge of the dungeon was a good man. He didn’t treat me too harshly, and I was able to have enough food every day.”
The Sixth Prince said as he bowed to the Eighth Princess again: "Counting this time, this is the second time the Eighth Princess has saved my life!"
"The second time? Me?" The Eighth Princess pointed at herself, looking confused.
The Sixth Prince nodded and said, "The life-linking poison that my mother had planted on that demon was broken by him more than two years ago. Just when he was about to kill me, the two countries proposed a marriage alliance. It was you, the Eighth Princess, who chose me as your consort, so that demon didn't kill me."
The Eighth Princess said embarrassedly, "When I knew that my father wanted to choose me to go to Miaojiang to marry, I was terrified. The first person I thought of was you. After all, knowing you as a child is better than marrying someone I don't know. I didn't expect that I could save your life. It seems that I made the right choice!"
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. The King of Miaojiang really refreshed my understanding!" Yu Jiuer shook her head with emotion and turned to speak frankly to the Sixth Prince.
"You keep calling him 'devil'. You must hate him in your heart. Have you ever thought about replacing him and ascending the supreme throne one day?"
If he had no ambition and could not ascend the throne to help her create a road to prosperity for Yinshan County, why would she go to so much trouble to rescue him?
"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Jun Mo reached out and patted Yu Jiuer on the head, then turned around and asked the Sixth Prince, "Your mother is a witch, but a witch from the Witch Village?"
"Exactly!"
"You said in the dungeon that your grandmother and others came to save you. Are they also from the Witch Village?" Shang Buqun asked.
The Sixth Prince nodded and replied, "Yes! My grandmother was the head of the Witch Village and had been in charge of the Witch Village for decades. My mother was blinded by wealth and power, and she insisted on entering the palace to get close to the royal family despite my grandmother's dissuasion. She never expected that she would end up in a miserable end."
"Then do you know about the Miao King's creation of the Gu people?" Jun Mo actually already had the answer in his mind, but he still didn't give up and asked him.
The Sixth Prince shook his head blankly: "I have been staying in the dungeon and have not seen the demon for ten years. I don't know!"
Shang Buqun said without any hesitation: "Hey! I thought you were a prince, so you would at least know some inside information! When I got down to the dungeon, I guessed that the person I saved from nearly losing my life was a useless person."
The Sixth Prince looked uneasy upon hearing this. He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, sat on the chair and rubbed his hands constantly, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry!"
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault!" Yu Jiuer couldn't bear to see this and stood up to speak for him, "Who said you are useless? Even if you don't have the ambition to ascend the throne, you are still very useful!"
The Sixth Prince raised his head and asked hurriedly: "What use can I have? As long as I can help you, please give me your orders!"
"Do you know that your father lied to the outside world that you were dead and wanted to take the eighth princess as his consort?"
As soon as Yu Jiuer asked, the Sixth Prince stood up in shock, clenched his fists and said in shock: "What? How can he be so shameless? It's okay for him to harm me, but how can he harm the Eighth Princess? I will fight him!"
"You don't have to fight him, your existence is the best revenge on him!" Yu Jiuer smiled sweetly, her eyes full of calculations.
"The Miao king shamelessly announced to the world a few days ago that he had to marry the eighth princess as his concubine in order to maintain an alliance between the two countries, and he wanted the people to praise his sacrifice.
We will expose his shameless behavior to the world and give him a slap in the face! No matter how proud he is now, we will make him suffer that much later!"
The Sixth Prince was so excited that he knelt down on one knee in front of Yu Jiuer: "Princess Jing, I am willing to serve you!"
