Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

God help me too.

Haha, God help me too!

The wagon wheels rolled rhythmically, moved briskly, and swayed.

Zhao Zening just vented his hatred heartily in the imperial garden, and he was extremely happy. Now he retreats all over, his fingertips trembling slightly, the blood in his nails has been sucked clean, and his skin is pale.

He rested his head on a soft cushion, without a trace of strength, crooked like a boneless nest, barely raised his sleeves to cover his face, to hide the uncontrollable sneer, and closed his eyes, the princess's pain and despair, intermittent whimpering and coughing echoed in his ears— —

Half an hour ago, at the end of Xu hour, the night was as dark as ink.

The family banquet is scattered.

As usual, the princes saw off their mothers, and then went back to their homes, in groups of twos and threes.

"Brother, the straw-woven grasshopper cage you gave last time is really interesting. I stuffed it into a birdcage to play with the thrush." ​​The second princess hugged her elder brother closely, whispering in a whisper.

"Really?" The fifth prince was handsome and handsome, and said cheerfully: "It's obviously a grasshopper cage, how can Thrush get in? The third sister said, is your second sister kidding me?"

The third princess likes the thoughtful and meticulous fifth brother who loves to laugh.She was called by name, and replied softly, "Fifth brother, second sister didn't coax you. Although the thrush can't get in, it likes to play, jumping around the grasshopper cage."

"Hahaha~" the fifth prince laughed loudly, and a lacquered gold and splashed ink fan has been in his hand for a long time. He clapped his palms happily and said happily: "You two sisters are careful! It opened my eyes. It turns out that the thrush actually likes grasshoppers." Grasshopper cage. Hey, eighth brother, look, how interesting the little girl's house is."

Zhao Zening smiled and readily agreed: "Exactly, I've never heard of it. I'll have to get some grasshopper cages to try."

"That's right!" The fifth prince walked quickly, poked his head, and said to his biological mother Concubine Zhuang: "Mother Concubine, when your son enters the palace next time, he will definitely bring more grasshopper cages for the thrushes and orioles to play with under the porch outside your dormitory." .”

Concubine Zhuang was dignified, gentle and beautiful, she said softly: "From what you said, I am also a little curious, but you shouldn't bring too much. If you enter the harem and are interrogated, it depends on how you explain it."

The second princess laughed, stepped forward and took her mother's arm, and said to her brother, "See how you explain it! Don't confess us when the time comes."

"Okay! I took the trouble to bring you novelty things to amuse yourself. Is this how you treat your brother?" The fifth prince feigned anger, and raised his fan as if to beat him.

"Oh, mother and concubine, look, my brother is beating someone." The second princess got along very well with her brother, she exclaimed coquettishly, instead of hiding, she stretched out her hand to snatch the fan.

"Who hit you? Who dares to hit the golden branches and jade leaves?" The fifth prince was very playful, and made his sister turn around with a fan.

Concubine Zhuang didn't even move her eyebrows, she walked slowly back to Qixia Palace, and stopped her softly: "Don't mess around, I see outsiders saw the joke."

The family happiness of the mother and son in front of them still has nothing to do with the eighth prince's brother and sister.

——If Wang Zhaoyi is in good health, she can also attend the family banquet, and after the banquet is over, she will be surrounded by a pair of children and return to Ningcui Pavilion.However, Wang Zhaoyi was mentally disturbed, suffering from madness, and was placed under house arrest in the cold palace. Her daughter was fostered under Concubine Zhuang's knee, and her son had to send his sister back to Qixia Palace.

Zhao Zening smiled all over his face, and occasionally echoed a few words of ridicule, but he couldn't hide his resentment and bitterness in secret. He tried his best to take care of his blood relatives, but found that he was often unable to do what he wanted.

God is so unfair!

How unfair the father is!

What did my sister and I do wrong?Although reborn in the royal family, he lived such a humble and miserable life.

The above problems have plagued Zhao Zening for more than ten years, and he can't figure it out. He has become black and rotten, and has become a heart disease for which there is no cure.

A group of people left the banquet hall and Qianming Palace, and the maids in the palace carried lanterns to light the way forward.

After a while, he turned a corner and entered the wide corridor running through the central axis of the harem. Zhao Zening suddenly saw two groups of people gathered in front of him, and took a closer look: "Wu'er, be obedient, and apologize to your imperial sister immediately!" Concubine Chen, the biological mother, couldn't help but give serious orders.

King Rui and the eldest princess' biological mother, Concubine Hui, were equally embarrassed, and repeatedly persuaded: "Sister, forget it, don't blame Xiao Wu, Yilin is also wrong, she is the elder sister, how can she not let the younger brother?"

"Mother Concubine!" The eldest princess stomped her feet angrily, and complained with grievances: "I walked in front, but Xiao Wu didn't even say hello when he passed by, so rude."

"It's getting dark, maybe Xiao Wu didn't see it for a while, you are a sister, why don't you take the initiative to say hello?" Concubine Hui took her daughter's arm and coaxed her earnestly.

"Sister Huang, I took the initiative to say hello when I came, but what happened? I was ridiculed! I thought you must hate me, so I didn't dare to say anything just now, but I offended you! Why is it so difficult to be a human? You Do you want me to kneel and salute?" Zhao Zewu was indignant, filled with unbearable annoyance.

"Old Seven!" Zhao Zewen pulled his younger brother back and warned in a whisper, "Calm down, this is the imperial palace."

"Xiao Wu, hurry up and apologize." Concubine Chen urged with a headache, her face turning blue and red, she knew the eldest princess had a bad temper, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn't keep biasing towards her son, after all, since ancient times, 'good men don't fight with women'.

The eldest princess turned her face away, and said with a sneer, "Kneel down to worship? Oh, please forgive me, I'm not so lucky."

"You also know that you are unlucky? Then why are you jumping around and mocking people all day long?" Zhao Zewu became impatient and couldn't choose what to say.

"Who is ridiculing people? Who is talking nonsense?" The eldest princess turned her head suddenly, her red earrings dangling, and whenever she thought of "an old girl who can't get married", her teeth itch with anger.

Concubine Hui hesitated to speak, and finally shut up. She knew that she had no way to teach her daughter, and her daughter was extremely unpopular.

"Zewu!" Concubine Chen raised her voice slightly, annoyed that her son was fussy with her elder sister and didn't know how to avoid it wisely. She had no choice but to pat the eldest son quietly, then covered her heart with a silk handkerchief, bent slightly, and frowned——

"Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Zhao Zewen understood, and immediately yelled worryingly in cooperation, urging him severely: "Xiao Wu, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Huang Jie? Concubine Mother is so angry that she has to go back to rest .”

Zhao Zewu was startled, so frightened that he strode closer, he asked anxiously, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"

Concubine Chen covered her heart, raised her handkerchief and pressed her eyes, her eyes were sad, she didn't speak.

"Okay, okay, can't I apologize?" Zhao Zewu rolled his eyes, reluctantly compromised, took a deep breath, reluctantly walked up to the eldest princess, and said dryly: "Sister Huang, I'm sorry, Whether you hit or scold, I should take the initiative to say hello when we meet."

"Can you speak? When did I beat you? Don't slander good people with red lips and white teeth." The eldest princess raised her chin proudly, triumphantly.

Concubine Hui hurriedly reminded her daughter: "Lin'er, Xiao Wu has already apologized, what's your attitude?"

Zhao Zewu took a look at his mother with a sad face, gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, and cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Huang has a lot, please forgive me for a while."

"Hmph!" The eldest princess looked away arrogantly.

"Xiao Wu, ouch, get up, get up quickly, it's alright, it's okay, the whole family is brothers and sisters, this matter is over." Concubine Hui couldn't persuade her daughter, so she could only support Zhao Zewu by herself, touch and pat One shot, another coaxing.

Concubine Chen forced a smile on her face and said, "Sister, please persuade the eldest princess to calm down. If Xiao Wu is still rude next time, you can only discipline him."

"Sister, don't be as knowledgeable as Lin'er, she's too willful." Concubine Hui whispered softly, couldn't help blushing, quickly pulled out the veil to cover her eyes, and sighed, "What is my fate? Chen'er was born with a body Weak, Lin'er—"

Alas, poor parents who worry about the world day and night.

Concubine Chen thought of the poor King Rui who was suffering from a heart disease, and then looked at the haggard and aging Concubine Hui, she immediately lost most of her anger, and said with relief: "Sister, there is no need to be like this, how can the children not be naughty? This matter is over, no one will Don't mention it again."

"My sister is right. You are not feeling well, go back and rest, ah."

"It's late at night, sister, please rest early."

"Hey."

The masters of the two palaces shook hands and made peace, and the two groups dispersed separately.

Since it was someone else's housework, Concubine Zhuang and the others naturally couldn't rush to join in the fun.

Zhao Zening stared silently for a while, thoughtful, talking and laughing, and sent his sister back to Concubine Zhuang's Qixia Palace.

——On the way, when passing the imperial garden, Zhao Zening saw the eldest princess and Concubine Hui in front of him seeming to be arguing for a few words, turning around and leading people into the imperial garden; not long after, Zhao Zening saw Zhao Zewu arguing with his biological mother and brother, Run into the imperial garden from another entrance, leaving the two servants far away.

They all entered the imperial garden?

Zhao Zening changed his mind, thought quickly, and suddenly became excited, his blood surged wildly, his breathing was short of breath, his nose fluttered, and he thought to himself: This is really a golden opportunity!

If you don't do it tonight, when will you do it?

After a while, Zhao Zening sent Concubine Zhuang and his party outside Qixia Palace. He hurried to the prince's residence under the pretext of visiting the weak King Rui, but King Rui drank the medicine and went to bed early, just as he wanted!When he was borrowing King Rui's books, he dismissed the servants who were serving him, and relying on his knowledge of the guards of the imperial palace, he took a small turn and took a small path to enter the imperial garden, and found the secluded side in the southwest corner of the lotus pond——

The eldest princess lost her temper, scolded the mothers and maids who were persuading her, ran amok in the imperial garden, ran around indiscriminately, and finally placed an order.

She was sweating profusely, panting, listless, sad and depressed, and walked alone along the embankment of the lotus pond.

The bright moon is covered by dark clouds, and it's time for Haishi.

The trees along the bank of the lotus pond are tall and luxuriant. When the night wind blows, the lanterns shake dimly, making shadows and shadows very permeating.

But Zhao Yilin was full of melancholy, immersed in the melancholy of not knowing what to do in her life, and didn't pay attention to her surroundings.

In autumn, the lotus flowers wither gradually, and the withered stems and leaves fall to the surface of the muddy water, which is bleak and deserted.

She tugged at the ends of her hair, wandered sadly, and sighed.

suddenly!

A gust of wind hit the back of her head, Zhao Yilin only had time to scream, and then her head was covered by a large piece of cloth, she was thrown down quickly, her head hit the ground heavily, and she fell into a coma on the spot.

"Humph!"

Zhao Zening couldn't help sneering, his hands were very steady, and after knocking the eldest princess unconscious neatly, he fixedly stared at the woman in a fiery red palace dress lying unpretentiously on the dirty ground, with her head covered with the precious flower he pulled out at night. coarse cloth--

"Hehe, hehehe." Zhao Zening was ecstatic, excited, heart palpitations and trembling, eyes wide open, with a hideous and weird expression, without hesitation, he dragged the person to the lotus pond that smelled of mud, and was about to push him down drowning--

"Hmm..." Zhao Yilin moved and groaned, dazedly awake, reaching out to tear off the coarse cloth covering her head.

In the next moment, Zhao Zening didn't even think about it, he couldn't control it at all, and suddenly flew up a few kicks, heavy and hard, and kicked Princess Zhongchang's head, chest, abdomen and heart in a row.

The eldest princess was caught off guard, and suffered heavy blows one after another. She had no power to resist, and couldn't even cry out. She instinctively curled up to protect her internal organs.

"Call you arrogant and domineering!"

"Call you savage and domineering!"

"I tell you to ridicule and humiliate my mother, me and my sister!"

Zhao Zening reprimanded silently, all the resentment accumulated for more than ten years erupted, and gradually lost control, completely irrational, with lowered eyebrows, violent and ruthless, kicking and kicking like a torrential rain.

"Woo..." The eldest princess hugged her head and tried her best to dodge, whimpering occasionally, and then she was beaten more mercilessly.

"What's so great about you? My younger sister is also a princess, but you have trampled on her countless times in public, frivolous and arrogant, you deserve death!"

Zhao Zening gritted his teeth, his heart was beating like a drum, beating violently, his eyes sometimes turned black, and sometimes blood red, bursts of distorted pleasure surged, panting like a cow, until the eldest princess was motionless, he kicked the man covered with coarse cloth into the ground. Lotus Pond.

The sound of "哗啦", echoed in the silent imperial garden, quite abrupt.

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting in the distance:

"Princess?"

"Princess, where are you?"

"Don't scare the slaves, princess?"

……

Zhao Zening woke up in an instant, looked at the eldest princess who was slowly sinking into the lotus pond with disgust, curled her lips, and was about to evacuate quickly, but heard the people in the water start to struggle again, coughing like drowning.

"Cough cough... blah cough..." The pool water poured into her mouth and nose, waking up the eldest princess. She knew a little about water, and subconsciously paddled and struggled.

Not dead yet?

Bitch is tough.

However, you must die today!

Zhao Zening looked coldly, squatted down immediately, and in desperation stretched out his hand to hold down the head of the eldest princess who came out of the water, and pressed hard into the water, his hand felt a piece of warmth, it was blood.

"Ahem... ah cough..." The eldest princess was seriously injured, bursting out with a strong desire to survive, and desperately resisted, but she was no match for a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.

After a few bursts of "hulu gulu" bubbles, the water surface was completely calm.

The carriage moved forward steadily, heading for the unfinished Eighth Prince's Mansion.

"Haha, hahaha."

Zhao Zening opened his mouth wide, happily, shaking his head. It was the first time he felt so comfortable. From time to time, he raised his right hand and sniffed carefully. Although the smell of mud and blood had been cleaned up, the ecstasy of victory had penetrated deeply into his bones. Just looking at the palms makes me happy.

Right now

The imperial garden and the lotus pond are brightly lit and crowded with people.

"waste!"

"This place is full of blood, which should be the scene of the incident. There are obvious traces of someone struggling in the lotus pond. Hurry up and find it!" Cao Liqun, the new commander of the inner court guard who took office for more than half a year, shouted, shouted hoarsely, and ran to command: "Go quickly!" Ask the Inner Court to bring more lanterns, no, it’s best to light a few big braziers, how can you find someone in the dark?”

"Yes!"

"Quickly pull out the lotus, the water is clean, jump down, even if you turn the lotus pond over, you will find someone!"

"Yes!"

Oops, I'm done.Cao Liqun's face was ashen, burning with anxiety, he glanced at the lotus pond with a radius of several acres, and lamented to himself: "It's late at night, what's the matter with the eldest princess in the imperial garden?"Whose blood is it?Was it she who fell into the water?The scene was so tragic, and it is most likely more ominous than good... Before he could find anyone, the emperor and his party had already rushed to the scene: "Where is Lin'er? Where is the eldest princess?" Emperor Chengtian called anxiously from a distance. He was over sixty years old, He loved the eldest daughter and youngest son the most in his life, and devoted a lot of care and love to him. When he first heard that the eldest daughter fell into the water, he was so scared that his heart beat abnormally and his chest felt tight.

"Father, watch the road carefully." King Qing half-supported his father, and with all his strength helped the old man to the imperial garden, and asked from a distance: "Commander Cao, are you sure it's the eldest princess? Has anyone been found yet?"

"Yes! Who is it that fell into the water?" Emperor Chengtian asked angrily, and immediately had countless lucky hopes.Relying on the support of the third son of the emperor, he was so anxious that he didn't care about taking a detour along the flat corridor, and went directly down the slope planted with herbs, and hurried to the side of the lotus pond where the incident happened.

"Your Majesty, my humble servant, I will—" Cao Liqun led the imperial guards to pay respects, but was reprimanded by Emperor Chengtian: "Excuse me! At such a moment, why care about politeness? Hurry up and talk—"

The next moment, Emperor Chengtian suddenly became speechless, and King Qing also opened his eyes wide in shock. The father and son looked down together: Countless candles and lanterns gathered, illuminating the bluestone corridor beside the lotus pond, and the dazzling blood spots and traces of struggle on the ground could be clearly seen. Extending all the way to the lotus pond; the stems and leaves of the lotus in the lotus pond near the shore are in a mess, with mud splashing everywhere, and many guards are stirring and searching in it.

shocking.

Emperor Chengtian's lips trembled and he was speechless.

"Your Majesty, a quarter of an hour ago, weichen received help from the nanny who was following the eldest princess. They claimed that they were separated from the eldest princess in the imperial garden. Weichen immediately led people to search for it, and found this place half a quarter of an hour ago." Cao Liqun spoke quickly. , took out the evidence wrapped in a handkerchief: a blood-stained red jade earring, a jade hairpin broken into two pieces.He bite the bullet and reported: "Look, this is the jewelry found at the scene. According to the nuns and maids, it belongs to the Eldest Princess."

"enough!"

Emperor Chengtian yelled loudly, swayed, and angrily glanced at the concubine and maid who was kneeling on the ground next to him, crying in fear. He had no time to pay attention to him for the time being, and sternly reprimanded: "What's the use of you talking about it? If you delay saving people, I'm the only one who asks." !"

"Your Majesty calm down, I have sent people to mobilize the manpower—"

"Trash, it's trash, get out!" Chengtian Emperor Lei Ting was furious, and kicked the leg of the commander of the imperial guards.

After hearing the key words, King Qing hurriedly asked Li Deying to take care of his father. He rushed to the lotus pond, bowed his head, and observed carefully.

"Your Highness, I have personally led people into the water to conduct a thorough investigation for a few meters, and even pulled out all the roots in the mud, but no one was found! What should I do?" Cao Liqun, dripping with water, rolled and crawled, and ran to King Qing. In front of him, with a mournful face.

"The scene is so chaotic! Are you sure this is where the man fell into the water?" King Qing asked.

"Uh...sure! Other than that, I haven't found any other sinkholes yet." After Cao Liqun insisted, he hurriedly left a way out for himself.

"Go ask someone to get some torches. Lanterns are useless." King Qing ordered.

"Yes! I have already sent someone to urge you." Cao Liqun had a backbone, and followed King Qing obediently, obeying his advice.

King Qing searched urgently at the edge of the lotus pond, and Emperor Chengtian followed him, but he knew nothing about identifying the traces, so he could only act anxiously, urging in grief: "Yong'er, what's the matter? What did you find? Find it quickly, and act quickly!"

"My son is looking for you." King Qing comforted him without raising his head, "You must take care of the dragon's body." Immediately afterwards, he got up, jumped into the lotus pond without saying a word, took a long breath, and dived into the bottom of the pond while holding his breath.

Emperor Chengtian couldn't see his son on the shore, so he became even more worried, and sternly reprimanded the imperial guards: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and help King Qing find someone!"

"Yes."

"According to the order."

The waiting time was extremely long, and after a moment of torment, King Qing rushed out of the water with a "crash".

"How is it? Yong'er, how is the situation?" Emperor Chengtian's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward to ask.

King Qing raised his hand to signal the other party to calm down. He had no time to talk. He gasped for air and dived into the bottom of the pool again to search.

"Where are the torches? Lanterns are useless, light the torches quickly!" Emperor Chengtian hissed.His beloved daughter fell into the water for too long, and it is very likely that she has drowned, but he refused to think about it until he saw her.

"Yes!" Li Deying was so busy that he had to personally support the emperor, but also urged the inner court secretary to speed up the operation, sweating profusely.

It was shocking to hear that the eldest princess had fallen into the lake, and soon, her biological mother Concubine Hui, brother Rui Wang, the queen and others arrived in mighty force.

"Where's Lin'er? Where's Lin'er? What's going on?"

Concubine Hui stumbled and staggered, also in a hurry, and almost rolled down the slope. When she saw her daughter's blood-stained jewelry, she burst into tears and cried loudly: "My God! This is killing me! It's so good, Lin'er How did it fall into the water?"

"What? Haven't found anyone yet?"

Concubine Hui's eyes were wide open, she was almost crazy, she was frightened out of her wits, she knelt down desperately, hugged the emperor's leg, raised her face and begged sadly: "Your Majesty, please think of a way quickly, how could you not Find someone? This is the life of a concubine!"

Emperor Chengtian was in a state of desperation, and he couldn't kick his wife away, so he explained anxiously: "I'm trying to figure it out, the third child is searching in the water, so don't be impatient. Empress? Empress?"

"The minister, the concubine is here!" Empress Yang took a step back, out of breath.

"Pull Concubine Hui away, don't cause trouble, you go to the side and stay." Cheng Tiandi drove away with a flick of his sleeve.

"Yes." Empress Yang immediately arranged for the maids to help Concubine Hui, and brought the other women to the side.

King Rui was born with a heart disease, he walked in a hurry, his breath was short of breath, his lips were purple, he didn't care to appease his biological mother, so he rushed to Emperor Chengtian first, and asked, "Father, where is Yilin?"

"I'm looking for it. Chen'er, don't worry, just take it easy." Emperor Chengtian saw his son Wuzi's lips, and ordered his followers to take care of him.

At this moment, the Hechi slammed, and Cao Liqun appeared, shouting excitedly, "His Royal Highness King Qing has found someone!"

"Oh, where is the man?"

"Bring it up!"

"Where's my daughter?"

……

There was a lot of noise on the shore, Cao Liqun took a breath, but hurriedly dived into the water again.

After a while, King Qing, who was holding his breath to the extreme, hugged the eldest princess, stepped on the water hard, and rushed out of the water.

"Accept it! Hurry up and take it!" Chengtian Emperor was overjoyed and ordered repeatedly. The guards had no time to avoid suspicion, and rushed to bring the eldest princess to the shore.

"Brother, are you alright? Come up quickly, don't freeze." The Ninth Prince hastily stretched out his hand on the bank, King Qing panted for a while, shook his head, supported the bank of the pool with his hands, jumped up, and took his younger brother to visit the Emperor Sister, he couldn't take a closer look in the water just now.

Moments later

Concubine Hui's grief-stricken scream suddenly sounded beside the lotus pond:

"what--"

In the depths of the imperial garden, Zhao Zewu embraced a large bouquet of flowers of various colors, curiously followed the sound and rushed to the lotus pond, thinking at a loss: What are you doing over there?It's bright, and ghosts are crying and howling. I haven't heard that there will be a stage for the family banquet to watch a play.
