130: Sent to the frontier
Dragon Feather's eyes flickered, and the distortion in his heart made him truly consider joining the Devil Hall.
However, his reason was still intact, and he coldly snorted, saying,
"This Prince is of the imperial Bloodline, and you are rebellious traitors. How could this Prince associate with you!
This time, this Prince will not make things difficult for you. Get lost!"
Dragon Feather waved his arm.
The Devil Lord let out a strange laugh. He knew that Dragon Feather was tempted; otherwise, according to his usual nature, he would have definitely ordered people to surround and annihilate him.
"Haha, since that's the case, then this Lord will take his leave."
The Devil Lord chuckled, his figure disappearing from the spot, leaving behind only one sentence:
"Ninth Prince, we will meet again."
Sitting in the hall, Dragon Feather's expression was unpredictable, his fists tightly clenched.
"Devil Hall..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes flickering slightly.
Right now, it hasn't reached that point yet.
Taking a deep breath, he calmed his emotions and shouted towards outside the hall:
"Someone, prepare to enter the Imperial Palace!"
...
Dragon Princess Residence.
The sun was high in the sky, and Dragon Xiner finally woke up, a hint of fatigue showing between her brows.
Coming to the courtyard and seeing the leisurely Qin Jiang, Dragon Xiner couldn't help but roll her eyes. She lived such a miserable life every day, while this guy was so leisurely and enjoyed himself every day.
Taking a sip of tea, Qin Jiang looked at Dragon Xiner and smiled, tossing the imperial decree to Dragon Xiner:
"Here, your father's imperial decree."
Receiving the imperial decree, Dragon Xiner opened it and her beautiful Face was slightly startled:
"This is Father Emperor's intention?"
"Mm."
Qin Jiang nodded and smiled, saying:
"Your Father Emperor is quite courageous. He should know that I gave the Dragon Ball to you."
Dragon Xiner shook her head.
In the past, she had a deep longing for the position of heir, but now...
She suddenly felt it was meaningless.
She already had the Dragon Ball, and in the future, she had a high probability of reaching the Immortal Dao. At that time, would she still lack a Divine Dragon Empire?
What's more, staying by Qin Jiang's side, her development would definitely be better.
She no longer cared for a mere Divine Dragon Empire.
However, she still had to take on the identity of the heir; it was somewhat useful.
At least, it could disgust Dragon Feather.
"Do you want to go to the Imperial Palace?"
Qin Jiang asked.
Dragon Xiner hesitated for a moment. Logically, after receiving a reward, she should definitely go to the Imperial Palace to thank the Great Emperor for his grace. However, she didn't seem to need to very much.
After all, she had Qin Jiang backing her.
After thinking for a while, Dragon Xiner still decided to go to the palace. No matter what, the Divine Dragon Emperor was her father, and she still had to give him some Face.
"I'll go to the Imperial Palace."
Dragon Xiner said.
Qin Jiang nodded:
"I'll go with you."
...
Imperial Palace.
Many ministers entered the Imperial Palace, most of whom were supporters of Dragon Feather.
Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with the Divine Dragon Emperor's decree, so they united to try to persuade the Divine Dragon Emperor to change his decree.
However, the Divine Dragon Emperor's will was set!
All those who presented memorials were rejected.
Some strong-minded individuals were even directly killed by the Divine Dragon Emperor.
Under the act of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, everyone trembled. They finally remembered that this Empire belonged to the Divine Dragon Emperor!
They were just subjects.
They could not forcibly change the will of the monarch.
Until Dragon Feather arrived at the main hall.
"Your son, greets Father Emperor."
Dragon Feather respectfully bowed.
Seeing Dragon Feather, a complex look flashed in the Divine Dragon Emperor's eyes:
"Rise."
Dragon Feather stood up, his Face calm, standing quietly to the side, seemingly without any dissatisfaction with the Divine Dragon Emperor's decree.
The Divine Dragon Emperor sighed.
He felt some guilt towards Dragon Feather, but the competition in the royal family was so cruel. Now that Dragon Xiner had Qin Jiang by her side, he had to distance himself from Dragon Feather.
Otherwise, it was very likely to cause internal strife.
Looking at Dragon Feather, the Divine Dragon Emperor said:
"Yu'er, your cultivation is enough to be a General in the army, isn't it?"
"Still a bit short."
Dragon Feather replied.
The Divine Dragon Emperor chuckled:
"If this Emperor says you can be a General, then you can be a General. How about this.
Some time ago, there were some losses in the Borderlands, so Yu'er, you will go to the Borderlands to be a General.
Galloping on the battlefield and achieving military merits, this is the aspiration of all men."
As soon as these words came out, many ministers were shocked.
This was to completely distance the Ninth Prince.
For ordinary people, achieving great military merits was definitely a huge temptation, but for a Prince to be sent to the Borderlands, wouldn't that be marginalizing him?
Although, if the military merits were sufficient, it would be a good thing for Dragon Feather, and he might gain a certain degree of control over the military power, but...
The current Divine Dragon Empire was living in peace and prosperity, with no battles to fight, let alone military merits.
This was to make the Ninth Prince stay in the Borderlands for a lifetime.
Dragon Feather's heart also sank slightly. The Imperial City was the center of power.
The desolate Borderlands, not to mention how miserable life was there, had no power to speak of. Staying in the Borderlands for too long, the power he controlled in the Imperial City might constantly slip away.
The most favored Prince was to be sent to the Borderlands in one day.
Dragon Feather's heart found it difficult to accept.
At this moment, Qin Jiang and Dragon Xiner also arrived at the Imperial Palace.
Entering the main hall, almost everyone's eyes turned towards Qin Jiang. These ministers had all received warnings from the Divine Dragon Emperor, but it was the first time they had seen Qin Jiang.
Moreover, they also vaguely guessed that the Third Princess being able to become the successor was inseparable from Qin Jiang.
"Greetings, Father Emperor."
Dragon Xiner bowed slightly, and Qin Jiang, who was beside her, only nodded towards the Divine Dragon Emperor as a greeting.
"Haha, Xiner, there is no need for such ceremony."
The Divine Dragon Emperor's smile was gentle, and his palm lightly lifted, a force supporting Dragon Xiner.
"Thank you, Father Emperor."
Dragon Xiner said.
The Divine Dragon Emperor was very gentle towards Dragon Xiner, even more so than he used to be towards Dragon Feather.
Dragon Feather watched from the side, his heart burning with anger. This kind of treatment was something only he could enjoy before.
But now, he had to go to the Borderlands!
After caring for Dragon Xiner for a few sentences, the Divine Dragon Emperor also smiled and nodded at Qin Jiang.
This was also telling Qin Jiang that he was doing this because of Qin Jiang.
At this moment, Dragon Feather suddenly stepped out:
"Father Emperor, your son is willing to go to the Borderlands!"
Seeing Qin Jiang, he had made up his mind. With Qin Jiang in the Imperial City, no matter what, he would not have a good time. It was better to stay away from Qin Jiang.
Perhaps, in the Borderlands, he could also build a great career!
Moreover, after going to the Borderlands, the Divine Dragon Emperor's attention on him would definitely decrease significantly. At that time, it would be very easy for him to hide whatever he wanted to do from the Divine Dragon Emperor.
For example, joining the Devil Hall!
Dragon Feather had already made up his mind.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Divine Dragon Emperor's eyes. He was unwilling just now, but now he was willing?
He nodded and smiled, saying:
"Good.
Rest for the next two days, and then go to the Borderlands after a while."
"Your son wishes to go to the Borderlands immediately!"
"Hmm?"
The Divine Dragon Emperor frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still nodded:
"Since that's the case, then Father Emperor will not keep you.
In the Borderlands, you can still display your talents. I hope that one day, Father Emperor can hear about your achievements in the Borderlands."
