Chapter 278
After scolding his two thoughtful sons, Jiang Cheng finally lost most of his anger and his expression softened: "Do you two remember?"
Jiang Jin: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
"My son, I will remember it." The two of them were speechless, but facing their father who was also a king, what else could they do other than obediently comply?
"You two came just in time." Jiang Cheng seemed to have forgotten what he had just scolded his two sons to a bloody pulp. He glanced at the cold barbecue on the table, "You go and hunt some prey. Eat barbecue for lunch.”
Jiang Jin and Jiang Li quickly responded: "Yes."
After staying up all night, they were very sleepy, but they could only comply with their father's orders. Something happened to the fifth child. A bad answer will definitely anger the father again. Just be patient and do whatever the father tells you.
…
"Second brother, I'm sleepy." Jiang Li said weakly.
Jiang Jin had no expression on his face and rubbed his somewhat groggy head. He had been staring at it all night. Now he was also sleepy.
"We'll ask someone to hunt for prey later. Let's find a place to rest." Jiang Jin said, "We can rest for a while."
"Well, I wonder how Lao Wu is doing. Yulin Palace is quiet. Father won't kill Lao Wu, right?" Jiang Li was horrified.
Jiang Jin couldn't guess, but he shook his head: "No, the emperor will at most lock him up and will not take the initiative to order his death unless...unless Lao Wu loses his life in the chaos."
Yulin Palace.
Jiang Cheng told the waiter beside him: "Ask Lao Wu what the recipe is for the barbecue."
He snorted coldly in his heart. He is the emperor. Isn’t it easy to have a barbecue? The bastard ate it by himself and went to sleep soundly, without even thinking of giving the recipe away. Sure enough, he had become a bad boy when he grew up.
After the waiter left, he walked out of the dormitory and was about to go in the direction of Jiang Zhao. He just took two steps and was blocked by someone. This person was Chen Tu. Chen Tu handed a small box into the hands of the chamberlain: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince, just woke up for a while and reminded me to give this box to Your Majesty. It contains barbecue recipes and prepared seasonings. Your Majesty has no appetite for barbecue in the morning. With this recipe and condiments, you can eat it anytime. The Fifth Prince has not rested all night, so I guess he will not be able to accompany your Majesty for lunch. "
The chamberlain took the small box and quickly returned to Jiang Cheng's bedroom.
"I guess he has some concerns." Jiang Cheng felt a little better, "Take it out and check it. If there is no problem, wait until the second and third brothers come back from hunting prey and start roasting it."
He wanted to try how delicious the barbecue would be with these seasonings.
No matter when Lao Wu is forced to have a baby, he wants to taste the barbecue first today. The entire Yulin Palace is under his control, and no plan by Lao Wu will work.
snort.
"yes."
The door to the eldest prince Jiang Hui's room suddenly opened.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the confidant beside him. When the door closed and the confidant walked up to him and saluted, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know what happened last night?"
What he asked was why Jiang Zhao didn't arrive at Yulin Palace as planned, causing him to wait all night. Now he was too sleepy to really rest, for fear of something unexpected happening again. His father might ask him to come over at any time. If he knew that he was still asleep during the day, the impression would be bad.
As the eldest son, every word and deed is under the attention of countless people, and he doesn't want to be criticized.
"Back to Your Highness, this matter..." Gao Zhong was a little unbelievable at the new news. He knew that His Highness would be angry when he told what was going on, so he hesitated, but he had to talk about it. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "It was originally a last-minute thing, but His Highness the Fifth Prince said there was one more thing he needed to do before leaving. He first took out three copper coins, shook them in his hand, and then threw them on the table."
Gao Zhong felt Jiang Hui's indifferent gaze, swallowed his saliva and continued: "I got a bad prediction." After saying this, others trembled.
Because there is more to come.
"The Fifth Highness doesn't seem to believe in evil, so he decided to do another divination, and he still predicted a great misfortune."
"His Fifth Highness seemed to really want to take action last night. He decided to do one last divination, but unfortunately it was still a bad divination."
"It is said that things can only come in threes. Regardless of whether the hexagram is accurate or not, it is very unlucky if three times are bad hexagrams, so His Highness the Fifth Prince canceled last night's action." After saying this, Gao Zhong bent down and silently retreated to the side. A little off.
"Bang——"
Jiang Hui, whose face looked quite gentle, picked up the inkstone next to him and threw it on the ground. The position where the inkstone jumped up was where Gao Zhong was standing just now. He breathed a silent sigh of relief, knowing that when it fell down it would be in his position.
They all have experience.
"This fifth child, how can such a big thing be treated like such a trivial matter?" Jiang Hui's tone was full of anger and injustice. He had to wait all night for the evil hexagram of three copper coins. It was hateful.
Jiang Jin and Jiang Li, who were hunting, also learned the news.
Jiang Li yelled angrily: "Isn't Lao Wu's brain not working well? He has decided not to do such a big thing just because of three bad hexagrams?"
"Perhaps he wanted to throw a lucky hexagram to increase his confidence, but the result was unsatisfactory." Jiang Jin rubbed his painful temples. He thought he had some special plan, but he didn't expect it to be like this. "Anyone who gets a bad hexagram three times will never set out again." , so do you and me.”
Regardless of whether you believe this or not, you will feel uncomfortable when the hexagram is revealed in this way.
They work in vain.
Not only did he work in vain, but he was also scolded for nothing. The culprit was sleeping soundly on the bed, nothing happened, it was really annoying.
"So Lao Wu shouldn't do that again this time?" Jiang Li asked unwillingly.
Jiang Jin said: "Unless there is another good opportunity like this, it will be difficult. He is sleeping soundly on the bed, obviously giving up doing this temporarily."
"Let him escape." Jiang Li said indignantly, "I was bitten by mosquitoes and snakes, and stayed up late, but he didn't do anything, it's so annoying."
