Chapter 67: A Dejected Prince with a Cold Outside and Tender Inside (23)
Translator: asassin
After the long silence, the emperor on the throne slowly opens his mouth:
“Do you think that what I did previously was wrong?”
His voice deep and stern, like the crack of a thunder, booming in everyone’s heart .
Seeing that things take a worse turn, the assistant minister is about to go down on his knees and beg for forgiveness out of instinct .
But what the emperor says next makes him frozen on the spot:
“My beloved minister, you have taught me so much . How about you teaching me how to be an emperor?”
The assistant minister feels nothing except a sore in his knees and kneels with his knees hitting hard on the ground .
Not only does the assistant minister get down on his knees, but those ministers on court all go down on their knees .
Some of the clever ministers has guessed that His Majesty is going to be angry .
But nobody has thought that His Majesty would be so flared up and say something so devastating .
“Take him out . ” Emperor Huizong closes his eyes and speaks in a low voice .
The emperor has said something as simple as “Take him out . ” But nobody dares to think carefully about where the assistant minister is going to be taken or what the assistant is going to be made to do .
Only that after this incident, everyone in the capital of Yan knows that the assistant minister wouldn’t be seen anywhere near the capital .
Deep down, the assistant minister knows that he is doomed so he looks at his patron instinctively .
Prince Fu stands there without any expression on his face and doesn’t even look at him .
The assistant minister is bitterly disappointed and realizes that he has been discarded .
But he dares not to say anything else and lowers his head in frustration since his wife has been controlled by Prince Fu .
The assistant minister is taken away by palace guards and nobody else dares to say anything on court .
Zhao Yi watches the man who is sitting on the throne .

He has underestimated how important Prince Yan is for his father after all .
He knows clearly that Emperor Huizong was angry not because the assistant minister was trying to be smart but because he suggested to send Prince Yan away to the imperial mausoleum .
Emperor Huizong hates that .
Though Emperor Huizong knows that Prince Yan has wished for his early death, he couldn’t bring himself to destroy Prince Yan’s entire life .
Zhao Yi lowers his head, his fists clenching tightly on his sleeves .
He is jealous .
The royal family ought to be ruthless .
Prince Yan and Emperor Huizong, their ridiculous affection for each other as son and father shouldn’t exist at all .
Why? Why could Zhao Yin have something that others couldn’t have?

Let’s wait and see . He, Zhao Yi will prove it through his action .
That ruthlessness is the normal way of life in a royal family .
In the yard of the cold palace .
Ah Zhao and Zhao Yin are having lunch .
Clearly, Prince Beiding’s action has taken its effect .
Compared with what they had yesterday, this lunch is way more delicious and rich .
With two dishes and a soup, one of them with meat, cooked with fresh ingredient and in abundance .
Though it is nothing compared with what they used to eat but it is truly a nice meal for those who end up in the cold palace .
Other things aside, a cook of the imperial kitchen, even though a second-tier cook has better cooking skills than normal people .

Ah Zhao is quite pleased by the meal .
Zhao Yin, in contrast, has mixed feelings seeing Ah Zhao in such contentment .
Especially knowing that she is here to suffer due to his mistake, Zhao Yin feels more sorry to her than ever .
“Princess, I’m sorry to put you through such a rough time . ” He says softly .
Ah Zhao is having her soup when that comes from Zhao Yin out of nowhere . She is a bit confused and looks at Zhao Yin with her dark and bright eyes .
But she soon realized her persona and puts down the bowl in her hand and says in an indifferent tone: “It’s my own choice and it makes no difference to me . ”
Zhao Yin automatically puts what she said into: I’m willing to suffer with you .
At that moment he is more touched than ever and is about to say something tenderer when Ah Zhao opens her mouth all of a sudden: “Zhao Yin, I know well that you didn’t do the curse stuff . ”
Zhao Yin is dumbfounded .
It’s the first time that the topic is brought up between them since they got here .
