CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 93: THE IMPENETRABLE BARRIER!

"Cough, cough!"

Prince Zhi gave a light cough.

He glanced at Zhao Yi out of the corner of his eye, then said seriously, "Father, you must be mistaken. The Empress is virtuous and kind, how could she do such a thing!"

Prince Zhi was still very loyal.

You could see that he was really trying hard to preserve the dignity of his brother and sister-in-law in front of this younger generation, Zhao Yi.

But "Zhao Xiang," the teammate, wasn’t very helpful.

Upon hearing the words of Prince Zhi, "Zhao Xiang" rolled his eyes so much that they almost reached the sky.

He sneered and said, "It’s not like we haven’t seen the eldest sister-in-law hit the eldest before. Your mother was led astray by her. Otherwise, why would I, at such a young age, request to freeze myself in this ice coffin!"

Prince Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Zhao Yi and said seriously, "Your grandpapa has been frozen for too long, his mind isn’t clear. Don’t believe what he says, the Empress and His Majesty are still very much in love!"

Zhao Yi nodded earnestly.

What Prince Zhi said was something Zhao Yi believed.

The Empress and the old Emperor were indeed very much in love.

The old Emperor only ever married the Empress, and she bore him nine sons.

If there was no affection, they absolutely wouldn’t have such dazzling achievements.

"Hahaha!"

Listening to the tall tales of "Zhao Xiang," Zhao Lin couldn’t hold back any longer.

He looked at "Zhao Xiang" with a face full of mockery.

"Zhao Xiang, you really have no shame!"

"Don’t you have any awareness of what your wife is like, how could you blame her on leading you astray?"

"Back then, when you secretly visited the brothel and got caught by your wife, she chased you with a big knife, making you run and scream all over Shengjing City. Have you forgotten such a huge incident?"

This wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t mentioned; the moment it was brought up, "Zhao Xiang" exploded!

He pointed at Zhao Lin’s nose and started swearing directly.

"How dare you! It was you who lured me to the brothel back then!"

"Your wife manages you strictly, and you didn’t have silver to drink and party, so you coaxed me to go with you. The hundred taels spent on drinks were even loaned by me to you!"

"Damn you, pay me back!"

"Zhao Lin" responded unhappily, "I did borrow money from you, but didn’t I help block the knife for you when your wife was beating you? Are you not satisfied with that assistance worth a hundred taels?"

"Zhao Xiang," still angry, retorted, "Those hundred taels were my savings for several years of private money, why shouldn’t I want it back? You were the one who held me back deliberately. If you hadn’t held me back desperately, I would’ve run away already, you old scoundrel!"

Prince Zhi saw the two of them bickering like shrews in the street and immediately covered his face with his sleeve, not daring to look directly.

Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was unbothered.

He watched the two old men arguing fiercely, clearly entertained, then, out of nowhere, pulled out a bag of gold nuts, and started cracking them with great ceremony.

Hearing the clinking sound of the gold nuts hitting the floor, both old men turned their heads simultaneously.

They looked at the gold on the ground and widened their eyes in shock.

"Zhao Lin" asked in astonishment, "Youngster, what are you doing?"

"Cracking nuts," Zhao Yi replied respectfully.

"Zhao Lin" pointed at the gold nuts on the ground in shock, "Do you usually crack these kinds of nuts?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and explained, "I usually crack regular nuts, but since I couldn’t find any, I made do with these gold ones. Watching the fun without them just feels lacking."

Making do like this.

The two old men exchanged a glance, both twitching the corners of their mouths at the same time.

"Zhao Xiang" nodded at Prince Zhi, saying, "I now believe he is the eldest’s son. That silly look truly is a chip off the old block!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi was instantly displeased.

How exactly was he foolish?

Just as Zhao Yi was about to speak, he noticed the two old men staring unblinkingly at the pile of gold nuts on the floor.

He hesitated, then tentatively offered the remaining gold nuts.

"Grandpapa, grand uncle, would you like to crack some?"

As he said this, Zhao Yi suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and realized his money pouch was gone from his waist.

"Zhao Xiang" weighed the pouch in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"It’s unsafe for a kid to carry so much money around. Your grandpapa will keep it safe for you, and will return it when you grow up."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi almost lost his composure.

This excuse was too unreasonable.

"Zhao Lin" saw "Zhao Xiang" snatch away the money pouch, looked longingly, but got no response from "Zhao Xiang."

He had no choice but to lower his head and gaze at the gold nuts Zhao Yi had just thrown on the ground, wanting to pick them up but hesitating, looking extremely conflicted.

Prince Zhi couldn’t take it anymore and cleared his throat, saying to the two, "Father, Uncle, we still have important matters to attend to..."

Upon hearing this, "Zhao Xiang" and "Zhao Lin" snapped back to reality and turned their gaze to Zhao Yi.

"Zhao Lin" approached and placed his hand on Zhao Yi’s head, over the Mystical Gate, and with a startled look in his eyes.

He looked at Zhao Yi with an expression full of disbelief, "The words of the ancestral prophecy, it turns out to be true. Is there really such a simple-minded person in the world?"

Zhao Yi was already numb to people calling him simple-minded.

Although "Zhao Xiang" also disdained Zhao Yi’s lack of talent, he was quite proud that the legendary prophesied person appeared in his lineage.

Seeing "Zhao Lin" questioning Zhao Yi, he was immediately displeased, "With your talent, have you done anything significant for the family? Have you found the Red Gold Celestial Dragon, or solved the bloodline issue of the Zhao clan?"

"Zhao Lin" was left speechless.

"Zhao Xiang" turned the tide in his favor and said to the nearby Prince Zhi, "Since the prophesied person has appeared, we shall act according to the prophecy!"
