I am a cat in the palace

After some discussion, the next thing to do is roughly determined.

It is conceivable that the second prince who bears the orthodox name is the most taboo existence of the false emperor. As for flesh and blood, he is protected by the Yanwei army and is not the most threatening to the throne. For a while, the false emperor The traitorous concubine still can't tell a large number of people to deal with him.

Just by looking at the fact that there are more inquiries than chasing soldiers along the way, one can understand where the false emperor's focus is.

But there is no open gun for the time being, but hidden arrows must be guarded against.

Everyone had lunch together, and Rou Rou had originally told Wan Ji to go back and have a rest, but Wan Ji didn't respond, but insisted on staying, obviously he still had something to say.

Rourou hugged me and was planning to go for a walk to digest food. Hearing what he said, he said, "Then let's go for a walk together."

The sun is just right outside, and the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. It is very comfortable to take a walk after eating.Because Cangzhou is cold most of the time, even the garden of the city lord's mansion cannot grow too delicate flowers. Therefore, most of the plants in the city lord's mansion are hardy flowers and trees, especially pine trees. many.

Rou Rou hugged me and walked in front, Wan Ji followed one step behind, Ling Wuzheng and Wei Yin followed a little further behind, both of them have good hearing, so there is no need to worry about not hearing Wan Ji's report even if there is a little distance .

"Your Highness, on the night of the Lantern Festival, some of my subordinates went back to Yongshan Palace, hoping to at least rescue Mrs. Chen and Director Fu."

Yongshan Palace... When Rourou heard Wan Ji suddenly mentioning Yongshan Palace, his body froze and his expression instantly became tense. In fact, since leaving Beijing in a hurry on the night of Lantern Festival, everyone had already expected the worst in their hearts. As far as the general situation is concerned, the palace people in Yongshan Palace, even the affairs of Mrs. Chen and Fulin, will not be passed on as important information. What is the situation here.

But he was still a little prepared in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing the bad news he didn't want to hear.

Until now, when Wan Ji came, he mentioned Yongshan Palace to him, Rourou turned his head and stared at him closely, wondering what kind of news he would bring, whether there would be any surprises, relying on Rourou's heart, I heard There was a rapid beating sound in his chest.

"Your Highness, do you still remember Axi?"

Wan Ji suddenly mentioned Asi, Flesh was stunned, and nodded. Although it had been many years, he never forgot the one who accompanied him until he was six years old. companion.Not only because he liked Asi, but also because Asi's departure made him see the most terrifying and darkest side under the prosperous appearance of the palace for the first time.

Such an unforgettable lesson, even if he was young at the time, it was impossible for him to forget it.

"Although Asi left Yongshan Palace, he was arranged by the emperor to enter the secret guard camp. Three years ago, he was transferred from the Hard Labor Bureau to Xingde Palace."

It was the first time for Rourou and Zhen to hear the news, and they were a little surprised. Assi actually entered the dark guard camp?Then why didn't you see him when you were in the palace?

"However, he doesn't know martial arts, so I just let him do some intelligence gathering."

"On the night of the Lantern Festival, Asi discovered that shortly after Concubine Duan entered the emperor's bedroom, a large number of imperial guards suddenly entered Xingde Palace. The commanding office reported the news, and at the same time went to Yongshan Palace to inform Chief Fu."

"Fulin took Ah Dong out to check the situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left, someone sealed up Yongshan Palace. Mrs. Chen was captured by the imperial guards. She was afraid of hurting His Highness, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide that night."

"It's because the subordinates were incompetent and failed to rescue Mrs. Chen." At this point, Wan Ji knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to Rourou.

I was stunned, only felt my fleshy body sway when I heard this sentence, but he still stopped, he supported Wan Ji with one hand, opened his mouth, but his throat was choked, and no sound came out .

"Boss Fu and Adong should have escaped. According to the investigation by my subordinates later, the imperial guards did not catch Manager Fu and Adong that night, nor did they find their whereabouts afterwards. My subordinates thought that maybe they had already taken advantage of the chaos. Palace, but whereabouts are unknown."

Hearing that Fulin and Adong might still be alive, Rourou finally cheered up a little bit, but the news of Mrs. Chen's death still had a great impact on him.

When it was supposed to be a lunch break, Rourou was sitting on the edge of the bed hugging his knees in a daze.

I squeezed into his arms, raised my head and stuck out my tongue to lick his chin.

Flesh looked down at me, but the original clear eyes were dark, he hugged me, kissed my face, my body, buried his face in my fur, the heavy breathing made me almost think he would Not suffocating.

At this time, I hoped that he could cry for a while, but he didn't have any tears at all, and there wasn't even a look of grief on his face.But I knew that he was in such pain that he no longer had the energy to cry.

A 12-year-old boy suddenly lost his father three months ago, but today, when he heard the bad news again, he lost his mother.

I stretched out my paws and hugged his neck tightly, just thinking about giving him as much warmth as possible.

Suddenly, Rourou pulled Zhen down and put it beside the bed, stood up and grabbed the long sword hanging by the tent, and walked out with the sword in hand, his dark eyes were faintly glowing with blood.

I watched him walk out the door, but didn't stop him.

In the evening, Rourou came back, was carried back by the dark guard, and had already fainted from exhaustion. Ying Er said that he practiced the sword in the martial arts hall for a whole afternoon, without stopping for a moment, and did not drink a drop of water.

Afterwards, Rourou fell ill, and the illness was very serious. First, the high fever persisted for several days, and finally the high fever subsided, and then the low-grade fever lingered. Finally, even Wei Yin became a little anxious, and Ling Wuzheng even sent people to look for famous doctors everywhere. Come for treatment.

Rourou has been ill for more than a month.

capital palace

Probably because of the uneasiness of killing the old emperor, the newly enthroned fourth prince, Shang Xuan, did not live in the original emperor's bedroom, but was placed in Zhanghua Palace, which was very close to the original Zining Palace.

Zining Palace, which was originally the Queen's residence, has been repainted and reset for several months, and has become the residence of Empress Dowager Duanhui, renamed Changchun Palace.

The Empress Dowager Duanhui wore a light-colored dress with a high bun on her arm. She was almost thirty years old, but she looked as good as a twenty-eighth girl.There was already some heat outside, and the palace maid gave her iced lotus leaf and white fungus soup to relieve her fever. She had just taken a bite with a spoon when she saw Guiyin walking in with a sullen face.

"What's the matter? Who made you unhappy?" She casually handed the little lotus leaf soup to the maid, picked up a round fan and walked to Jian Gui, watching him take off his clothes and fan him.

"Who else is there, except your precious son!"

The Empress Dowager Duanhui stared, turned her head and waved her hands away to dismiss the palace servants nearby, and then looked at Jiangui dissatisfiedly, "My precious son, is that my son? Isn't it yours?"

Jian Gui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Don't you think he looks more and more like that dead old man?"

Empress Dowager Duanhui's expression changed suddenly when she heard the words, she slapped Jiangui's face hard, and slammed the round fan in his hand on his body, "How dare you say such words! You actually suspect that Xuan'er is not you My flesh and blood! When I entered the palace, how old was that dead old man? For the rest of my life, I only got three melons and two dates by sowing seeds every day. I was pregnant with Shang Xuan within a few days of entering the palace! You can do the math yourself, how many days did you get? Do you spend more time with you or more time with him, just with his broken stick, he can climb on me twice and plant a son in my stomach?"

Empress Dowager Duanhui slapped Jiangui vigorously while crying and cursing.

Seeing that Guijian was crying so much, it was true after thinking about it. The old emperor had worked hard on women all his life and wanted to have more sons, but it was extremely difficult for every child to come.Unlike his time, he could work so hard that Concubine Duan couldn't get out of bed every night, especially after the old emperor left Concubine Duan's place, he could work from midnight until dawn, just that kind of ecstatic madness After Concubine Duan got a man in one fell swoop, she could no longer enjoy the taste.

In order to be able to guard his woman and son every day, he willingly became a eunuch.At that time, he only thought that he lived for their mother and son in this life, and he would give them whatever they wanted.

It's just——it's been a long time, especially after the death of the old emperor, he suddenly got everything, and his heart became a little empty, sometimes in the dead of night when he touched his crippled body, he would think, Is it worth it to make such a choice in this life?

Especially the new emperor, who is obviously his son, but the old emperor is dead, and he still can't hear him call him daddy in a fair way. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Today, he passed by the imperial study room, and wanted to see how the new emperor was learning. Although the queen mother is listening to the government behind the curtain, neither he nor the queen mother have the intention of holding on to power, and they both hope that the new emperor can study hard to govern the country. To manage politics, he can take on the big responsibility as soon as possible. After all, he is their son and the only son.

But who knew that as soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the new emperor holding a thin leather whip and pointing at a young man to take off his clothes. The boy had already stripped down to only his obscene pants.

He thought it was some bold servant who offended the new emperor and was punished like this, but when he looked carefully, he was shocked. The boy who was whipped turned out to be Prince Mingxu, the son of Liang Guo.

He hurriedly wrapped his clothes around the young man and wanted to take him away, but who knew that he annoyed the new emperor, and whipped him over with a whip, directly drawing a deep red bloodstain on the back of his hand.

"It's fine to abuse and bully Liang Guo's protégé, but to whip his biological father is simply outrageous." It's fine if you don't talk about it, but when you mention it, you will see that the top of your head will smoke again.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager Duanhui quickly took Jiangui's hand and looked at it, she saw a red, swollen and purple blood mark on the back of his right hand, she was so distressed that she burst into tears.

But he was still trying to excuse his son: "Xuan'er doesn't know that you are his biological father, he is the emperor, but you suddenly rushed in to snatch him from him, would he be happy? And then again, Asking Liang Guo’s progeny to enter the palace as the new emperor’s companion is to show him Liang Guo’s face. Presumably, the Liang Guo prince’s self-reliance and unruly nature will offend Xuan’er, but he is asked to take off some clothes. He just lost face, what's the point? You are too, what do you care about so much?"

Seeing Gui looking at her, she felt a little helpless, "Although Liang Guo did ask my Da Xia to send the proton to Beijing, but he is the prince of a country after all, Xuan'er..."

"Okay, okay, on such a hot day, don't worry about it so much, just leave it to Mr. Zhao, and talk to Aijia later, and ask him to discipline Xuan'er strictly. Now he is the emperor. Teacher, naturally you have to be more careful."

While speaking, the Empress Dowager Duanhui's body leaned towards Jian Gui, leaning softly on his body, a thin layer of soft smoke half-covered her graceful body, lightly outlining her soft and tender body. curve.

At this moment, whenever there is a man in front of her, her mouth will be thirsty, but it is a pity that the man she is relying on is not a man.

But this man, who was not a man, did not disappoint her, and satisfied her desires very considerately, but after she fell asleep, when the man got up from the spacious bed, there was some interest in his eyes.

Royal study.

The fourth prince Shang Xuan, oh, no, now he has to be called the new emperor.

He looked a little irritable.

Recently, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been busy, and his Taifu has been newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It was the time when the new official took office, and he has not been in the palace to give lectures for several days. He just pointed out some guest teachers to give him lectures.

Of course, he doesn't care much about these things, whether it's Taifu or guest master, he has never listened carefully to what they say.In the past, when the late emperor was still around, he would often test his homework, and for the praise of Bo Xianhuang, he would bite the bullet and read some books seriously. Now that the late emperor is gone, even if he stops studying from now on, no one will dare nag him.

It's just that these guest masters are more intimidating than the Taifu, as long as he throws them out with a stern face, they will run faster than rabbits, and then he can have a lot of time to have fun.Recently, he especially likes to play in the imperial study room, he feels that it is very interesting to do that kind of thing on the table with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

And ever since he met the little eunuch next to Shangxin, he has found more and more that men play more interestingly than women, and can make him more excited, because every time he does it, he will think of that little eunuch. Face, the more I think about it, the more itchy I feel.

This Liang Guo proton was ordered by his mother to enter the palace as an accompanying student a few days ago. He fell in love with him on the first day he entered the palace. Just because he didn't know where, he felt that this Liang Guo proton was so different from that little eunuch. A little like, maybe it's the eyebrows, maybe the eyes, maybe the mouth, or maybe it's just the black hair, he can't tell, but as long as there is such a little feeling, it's enough to make him salivate.

It's a pity that today he was so close to succeeding, but he was taken away by that Jian Gui, which really made him feel sick and had nowhere to vent his evil fire, so he could only mess with two palace servants. After venting for a while, he gave up until the imperial study was in a mess.

After returning to his own palace, he immediately called the hidden guards beside him.

His mother and the court ministers are all focused on dealing with the second child in Jingzhou, but they don't put much energy on the third child.But what he misses most in his heart is the stunning little eunuch next to the third child.

After several cleanings in the palace, no trace of him was found, so he must have escaped with Shang Xin.Moreover, the little eunuch was highly skilled in martial arts, with strange strength, so he shouldn't die easily, and he should still be by Shang Xin's side.

and so--

He summoned his exclusive guard captain: "The person you asked to find last time has not been heard from. I heard that King Zhen arrived in Cangzhou, and he took out the last emperor's edict to become king in Lingbei. Since his whereabouts have been determined, that person He should be by his side too, so hurry up and find him, I don’t care what methods you use, but no matter what, you must bring him to me.”
