"Then what do you want me to say to you?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the official who spoke.

The latter glanced at Xiao Rongxuan secretly before continuing: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued a military order in front of all civil and military officials. Now that something happened in Liangshui Lane, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will always be responsible for his dereliction of duty."

"Yes."

"That's exactly what he said."

Several other officials from Xiao Rongxuan's faction also spoke quickly.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the people, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "It's really hard for you guys. Just when something happened in Liangshui Lane, you immediately ran to your father to question Gu Gu."

"Your Highness, you can't say that. We are also worried about the people."

"Since you are worried about the people, why don't you go to Liangshui Lane to check the situation? Do you know what their symptoms are, how severe they are, and whether they are life-threatening?"

"This……"

"Or are you saying that the adults wish that the soldiers and people infected with the disease would die early so that they could seize the opportunity to attack the orphans more effectively?" Xiao Jinzhi sneered.

"Where did His Highness start from saying this? We may think so! As court officials, we are naturally worried about the people, but..."

"It's good to be worried. There happen to be a lot of people infected with the epidemic, and there is still a shortage of manpower to take care of them. I will go there in person with a few adults later, and I will definitely give you the opportunity to take good care of the people." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted the other party.

The official who spoke turned pale and ran to take care of the people infected with the epidemic?

How is this possible? Do they think they live too long?

"Your Highness, we are all court officials and not imperial doctors. How can we..."

"It doesn't matter, give them medicine and wipe their bodies. You don't need a doctor for such a thing." Xiao Jinzhi continued to interrupt with a smile.

The faces of several officials suddenly became more and more ugly. Are they going to give them medicine? It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

They are high-ranking officials, how could they do such derogatory things for a few common people, or even refugees!

"Why, are these adults conscious of their noble status and thinking that the common people are humble and not worthy of what you do?" The smile on Xiao Jinzhi's face became more and more playful.

The faces of the officials who just spoke were pale and pale. Even if they really thought so, they would not be able to say such words in front of the emperor.

"Your Highness, how could we..."

"Okay!" Xiao Rongxuan interrupted the official who was eager to explain, "Brother, the emperor has gone too far!"

As soon as these words came out, several officials just woke up from their dreams. Yes, they were obviously here to question His Highness the Crown Prince, but why did they end up explaining and proving themselves instead.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's words are sharp, and we are really powerless to parry them. However, no matter what, His Highness the Crown Prince is suspected of being negligent in this disaster relief matter, which has led to the spread of the epidemic and affected so many innocent people. Please be fair and impartial, Your Majesty." Disposal."

Emperor Xiao's eyes have been fixed on Xiao Jinzhi since he walked in.

"Prince, do you have anything else to say about this matter?"

"Of course there is." Xiao Jinzhi looked at Emperor Xiao, "Father, the disease has not yet been investigated clearly. I'm afraid it is too early to deal with my son at this time."

"Why, does the emperor want to escape the blame by delaying?" Xiao Rongxuan snorted contemptuously.

"Gu has just said that the matter has not yet been investigated. The word "guilt" is too heavy, and I'm afraid I can't bear it. What's more, the top priority now is to seize the time to treat the soldiers and people who are infected. At this time, the third brother will I am so anxious to punish Gu Gu..."

Xiao Jinzhi paused, his peach blossom eyes glanced at Xiao Rongxuan's injured leg, and he spoke playfully.

"Could it be that my third brother has already thought about dragging this stump of his leg to take care of the people and solve the epidemic in person?"

"Xiao Jinzhi!" Xiao Rongxuan's face turned cold.

"What are you doing, third brother, so angry? If you promise to do everything personally and you will be able to save the people, then I can take the blame now." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile on his face, "I just don't know that after all this trouble, San I wonder if my leg will leave any sequelae. But...it doesn’t matter if I stay, it’s a good story that I became a lame prince because he cared about the people."

There was a hint of anger in Xiao Jinzhi's tone, which made Xiao Rongxuan filled with hatred and wished to kill him immediately.

The imperial doctor has already said that his leg was seriously injured. If he does not take care of it properly, he may really suffer from sequelae in the future.

Xiao Jinzhi must have known this, so he called him a lame prince and deliberately laughed at him here!

After almost crushing all his teeth, Xiao Rongxuan suppressed his anger and turned to face Xiao Di.

"Father, from what the emperor said, it seems that he is sure that he will be able to cure the sick soldiers and people. I think you might as well give the emperor a chance to show his concern for the people. Love. Of course, if the imperial brother cannot cure those people..."

Xiao Rongxuan gave Xiao Jin a meaningful look.

"Although the imperial brother is my elder brother, I still ask my father to deal with it justly and punish both crimes!"

Emperor Xiao looked deeply, "Prince, what do you think?"

"If this is what the father wants, I am willing to accept it."

"What if you fail to cure the epidemic?" Emperor Xiao continued to ask. The dim light in his eyes made it difficult to see his emotions clearly.

Xiao Jinzhi met that gaze, and after a long time, he raised his lips and said, "Then please ask my father to dethrone my son's position as prince."

Of course, if Emperor Xiao really has the courage to take action.

As Xiao Jinzhi said these words, the entire imperial study suddenly became quiet.

Several officials secretly looked happy, and Xiao Rongxuan couldn't help but sneer on his lips?

Good, very good!

Finally got to the point.

This time, he must pull Xiao Jinzhi down from the position of prince.

Xiao Rongxuan looked at Emperor Xiao expectantly, just waiting for him to respond.

But after waiting for a long time, Emperor Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Jinzhi.

Xiao Rongxuan was anxious. At this time, could it be that his father still wanted to stabilize Xiao Jinzhi's position as the crown prince?

He didn't understand why!

"Father!" Xiao Rongxuan couldn't help but call out.

Emperor Xiao glanced at Xiao Rongxuan, and the expression on his face finally fluctuated a little.

"Prince, do you really think so?" Emperor Xiao asked Xiao Jinzhi, "You want to use the position of prince as a condition for this time?"

"It doesn't matter what I think, the important thing is, what do you think, father?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Emperor Xiao.

After so many years, the other party may have been eager to dethrone his position as prince. Now that the opportunity is presented to him, he does not believe that Emperor Xiao will not be tempted.

There was another long silence, and just when Xiao Rongxuan was about to lose his patience completely, Emperor Xiao finally spoke again.

"Okay, I can agree, but I have a condition."
