om Li Chen's arms.This is awkward.Even Li Chen felt his face flush.Though it was only natural for a prince to have many concubines, as he is the son of the emperor, being able to find Zhao Qinglan's...Chapter 128, Your Highness, It's a Misunderstanding

When these people saw Li Chen, they were utterly terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.

Especially the Ninth Prince, who was already terrified of Li Chen to the bone. As soon as he saw Li Chen, he trembled with fear. His still-healing behind felt a sharp pain and tightening, as if millions of ants were crawling on it. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed right there.

Still, Wang Tenghuan saw the Ninth Prince's fear and guilt, raising his hand to grab him before he could embarrass himself in front of so many people.

"What's there to be afraid of! Let's go take a look and see what's going on!"

Wang Tenghuan said in a low voice.

As the second-in-command in Zhao Xuanji's inner circle, Wang Tenghuan, upon seeing Li Chen for the first time, immediately wondered how the Crown Prince would be here at this time. He should be staying put in the East Palace, but he came here instead. Could it be that the move they and Zhao Xuanji had previously speculated about, where the Crown Prince would acquiesce, had changed

And the embarrassment of the Ninth Prince, standing right next to him, made Wang Tenghuan's heart sink even further.

How can such an incompetent ninth prince possibly stand against the Crown Prince

The thoughts in his heart were like surging waves, but Wang Tenghuan's face showed no sign of turmoil.

He led his men to Li Chen and bowed, saying: "I am Wang Tenghuan, I have met Your Highness, the Prince."

"I, Jiang Zhou, pay my respects to Your Highness."

The Ninth Prince swallowed nervously. Thankfully, he hadn't forgotten basic etiquette and said with a fist clasped humbly, "This prince greets the Crown Prince."

Behind them, a vast crowd knelt densely.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this, the identity of Li Chen was immediately known to the disaster victims.

The disaster victims erupted in excitement, and then thousands of them faced Li Chenshan and shouted.

"Long live the Crown Prince, long live the Crown Prince, ten thousand years!"

Li Chen's face tightened, he walked to the Ninth Prince, his eyes like hawks staring at the frightened Ninth Prince, and said coldly: "So many people put in so much effort to get you a chance, and this is how you use it! Disaster relief, is this how you do it!"

The Ninth Prince was frightened and stammered, "Your Highness, this humble prince doesn't understand."

"Confused"

Li Chen laughed angrily and said, "Very well, I will let you understand."

After saying that, Li Chen grabbed the Ninth Prince's collar and, amidst his screams and struggles, dragged him to the bucket of congee.

Squeezing the Ninth Prince's head into the wooden tub, Li Chen roared angrily, "Is this the porridge you made for the disaster victims!"

"This so-called porridge, with more gravel and sand than rice grains, teeming with rice worms, this is what you call porridge!"

Seeing his entire head about to be plunged into the wooden bucket, he could clearly see his pale and terrified face reflected in the clear, bottom-of-the-bucket porridge. The Ninth Prince was truly scared.

He clung to the edge of the wooden tub with both hands, screaming: "Your Highness, don't blame me! I know nothing! These things were all arranged by Jiangzhou and his men. All I had to do was cooperate with their performance, come out and accept the gratitude of the disaster victims. I really don't know anything!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the wind and clouds ceased instantly.

Everyone stared at the Ninth Prince with disbelief, a big question mark appearing above their heads. How could there be someone so cowardly and foolish in the world

And that first Jiang Zhou, who was shaken out, he widened his eyes and panted heavily, his trembling hand pointing at the Ninth Prince, wishing he could pounce on him to replace Li Chen and drown the Ninth Prince in the rice bucket.

But that was just wishful thinking, for Li Chen's icy gaze had already fallen upon Jiang Zhou.
