Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

"Xiao Jiu, do you know what's wrong?" The queen straightened her back and asked slowly, condescendingly. Her bright red nails painted with Koudan and delicate armor were placed on Zhao Ze'an's face.

"I, I—" Zhao Ze'an was nervous, unable to answer.

The queen sighed and said quietly: "You should have rested in the dormitory obediently, but suddenly appeared in the Qiyuan Hall and was burned by the fire. Because you were raised by this palace, Kun Hegong couldn't absolve yourself of the blame, everyone from top to bottom suffered His Majesty reprimanded him; and because the old seventh was on duty at the Qiyuan Hall last night, but he left his post to meet others privately, so he was scolded bloody and almost went to prison directly."

Zhao Ze'an was panicked and guilty, tears dripping down, panting with difficulty, crying and saying: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't know it would become like this, woo woo woo~"

The queen stopped impatiently: "Don't cry yet! Tell me the truth: Why did you appear in the Qiyuan Hall last night? Was it voluntary or was it held hostage by traitors?"

The ointment was translucent and pale green, melted by tears, and flowed onto the scarlet pillowcase.Zhao Ze'an instinctively raised his hand, wanting to wipe his tears, but was sternly stopped by the queen: "Lie down well and don't move! If you do anything wrong again, there will really be no place for this palace!"

"...I'm sorry." Zhao Ze'an apologized again, resisting the itchy feeling of tears running across his skin, and carefully explained: "I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, thirsty and dry, my throat was sore, I wanted to drink water, I asked for tea, but No one agreed, it is estimated that the people who went to the night went to find Madam Zhu to drink and gamble—"

The queen scolded Nanny Zhu secretly, and interrupted with a frown: "Nonsense! Kun and Gong are the heads of the harem, and they always abide by the rules. Which servant dares to drink and gamble! Besides, everything in the harem is busy, and there is little leisure in the palace. Although Mammy Zhu has never nursed you, she is actually your nanny who took care of you to grow up, how can you slander her casually?"

Zhao Ze'an was young, innocent and straightforward, and said frankly: "I didn't slander her, I have seen her several times with my own eyes. Last night I got up and poured tea by myself, but I couldn't sleep when I lay down. Suddenly I remembered what my big brother said during the day: Qi Yuan There are a few cranes paying tribute in the south of the hall, they sleep standing up, and they stand on one leg! So I-"

"So you sneaked out of the Kunhe Palace and went to the Qiyuan Hall to see the cranes under the pretext of having an appointment with Lao Qi?" The queen was so angry that her face was livid.

Zhao Ze'an shrank back into the bed, nodded timidly, and said, "I won't dare next time."

"Next time? This time the chaos is turned upside down, and I don't know how it will end!" The queen suppressed her anger, and said stiffly: "Now that Nanny Zhu is detained by your brother, I don't know whether it is dead or alive. She just came out. Yu Haoxin, I hope you recover as soon as possible, I added Coptis chinensis, which cools and relieves fire, to the Qingfei Decoction in a moment of confusion, even if there is a mistake, it will not lead to death. Are you right?"

Zhao Ze'an suddenly realized: "No wonder, the Qingfei Decoction suddenly became so bitter, it turned out that Mother Zhu added Coptis chinensis."

The queen frowned heavily, trying to maintain a dignified image, and asked softly: "Do you wish to wish Mammy to die? She is your nanny, she loves you so much."

After all, Zhao Ze'an was only ten years old, and he grew up under the influence of many forces, so he had basically never been exposed to darkness and blood.At this moment, he closed his eyes, thought haggardly for a moment, and finally sighed: "It is true that death is not a crime. She was detained by my brother? Then I will ask and see what my brother says."

Little white-eyed wolf, "my brother" one by one!

The queen couldn't help cursing secretly, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, and praised with a smile: "This is a good boy who understands things." After a pause, the queen asked in a more gentle tone: "Xiao Jiu, you just said, yes Who said there are cranes in the Qiyuan Hall?"

"Big brother." Zhao Ze'an repeated, although he was seriously frightened and injured, his face was pale and his breath was weak, and his lips were chapped, but he still looked forward to it and asked curiously: "Do you think the crane really sleeps standing up? And it's on one leg , Will you fall down when you fall asleep?"

Queen: "..."

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a group of people, headed by Emperor Chengtian, poured in.

"Xiao Jiuer?" The concern on Emperor Chengtian's face did not seem to be fake, he was still wearing court clothes and a nine-pronged crown, sitting on the edge of the couch, he said happily: "Are you awake?"

"Father, I was almost burned to death." Zhao Ze'an couldn't help complaining aggrievedly.

"My little Jiu'er has suffered a lot this time, don't worry, father will make the decision for you!" Emperor Chengtian sighed, wanting to reach out his hand to caress his young son's cheek.

When the door rang, the queen moved quickly, raised the handkerchief, pressed her eyes, sobbed and shed tears, and hurriedly stopped in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty! The imperial doctor said that Xiao Jiu had applied ointment all over his body, and he should not touch it for the time being, so as not to affect the wound." Heal, just bear with it."

"Okay." Emperor Chengtian could only withdraw his hands, he noticed his wife's hoarse voice and red and swollen eyes, and said gently: "Xiao Jiu has woken up, and the imperial doctor will take care of him, you can go back and catch up on sleep."

The queen shook her head: "The concubine is worried. I didn't pay attention last night, and the child was injured like this. The concubine is really ashamed to see you. Tell me, why is this child so stupid? During the day, I heard that there are cranes sleeping on one leg in the Qiyuan Hall. In the middle of the night, he was curious and ran to see the news, and that's why he was killed by the traitor. Your Majesty, the concubine has no way to teach his son, please punish him." The queen knelt down after speaking, choking and sobbing.

Hearing the news, Concubine Han Guifei who came with Emperor Chengtian froze slightly, keenly aware that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Emperor Chengtian immediately asked: "What kind of crane has one leg and two legs? You mean, Xiao Jiu went to Qi Yuan Hall by himself in the middle of the night after hearing this? Who is chewing on this? Knowing that Xiao Jiu was playful when he was young I don't know the seriousness, but I still instigated him!"

The queen seemed to be struggling and looked at Concubine Han in embarrassment.

Emperor Chengtian also looked over, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but didn't say anything, he simply turned his head and asked: "Xiao Jiu, tell me, who told Qiyuan Hall that there are cranes?"

"I—" Being stared at by so many people, Zhao Ze'an was a little nervous, licked his thirsty lips, and subconsciously looked at Concubine Han.

"What's going on here?" Concubine Han laughed dryly. She couldn't stand upright in front of everyone. She bent forward and asked softly, "Xiao Jiu, if you have something to say, just say it, ah."

Only then did Zhao Ze'an muster up the courage to point out: "Big brother told me."

Everyone looked at Han Guifei in unison.

"Uh~" Concubine Han's smile froze on her face, her expression changed a few times, and finally she wanted to cry and knelt down in front of Emperor Chengtian's knee: "Your Majesty, this concubine doesn't know anything about it! You know what the emperor is like, he I always treat my younger brothers with kindness and love. But if you get any suitable good things on weekdays, give them to Xiaojiu to play with—”

"The Baohe Palace has it, and the Kunhe Palace also has it." The queen interrupted lightly, sighing: "But my sister doesn't know something. The younger nine years are getting older, and your majesty is urging him to study hard. We can't delay the child's success, so I'm trying to coax him to put away his playfulness and study hard."

Your mother and son are fine, but they tried every means to seduce Xiao Jiu for fun, and now they almost ruined their lives.Although the queen didn't say this, everyone understood it.

"Where's the boss?" Emperor Chengtian asked displeasedly with his face downcast.

Zhao Ze'an licked his lips frequently, but everyone's attention was not on him at this time.

"The emperor has been busy tracking down the murderer since the incident last night. He hasn't eaten a grain of rice, nor has he closed his eyes. Does His Majesty want to call him?" Han Guifei raised her face, her beautiful eyes were slightly red, she seemed to be crying but not crying. moving.

Emperor Chengtian pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Forget it, it's important to chase after the murderer. In the end, it was just an unintentional mistake. After all, Xiao Jiu is still ignorant. Remember to remind him when you go back: from now on, you must speak properly, and as an elder brother, you must be steady and steady , worthy of an example."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will definitely tell the truth." Concubine Han was so grateful that she bowed down.

The queen almost gritted her teeth: Your Majesty's heart is really in the armpit!Last night, without distinguishing between indiscriminate and indiscriminate, he sent out a thunderous rage, which made Kun and Gong lose face, even Huang'er was not spared!Now, it was Baohe Gong who made a mistake, and how could he be so lightly exposed?

I am not convinced!

The atmosphere is not very harmonious.

Emperor Chengtian knew it well, he coughed in a concealed manner, and just when he was about to speak, the door was pushed open again, Zhao Ze'an regained hope, and looked with bated breath——

Oh!My brother is finally here!

Zhao Ze'an's eyes were blurred with tears, and his mouth was flattened.

Zhao Zeyong strode in, bringing up a gust of wind, the smell of blood in the wind made everyone's hair stand on end.

"I was almost burned to death, why did you come?" Zhao Ze'an finally waited for his brother, and instantly released the fear and grievance in his heart, tears flowed down, and raised his hand to wipe.

At this time, the Queen's thoughts were all focused on "Your Majesty's partiality", and she had no time to take care of the "little white-eyed wolf".

"See Father, I have met all of you ladies." Zhao Zeyong said, and immediately sat in front of the couch, and stopped him in time: "You have ointment all over your body, don't move your hands! Do you feel that your breathing is smooth? Do you feel uncomfortable in your lungs? ?" This is what Zhao Zeyong is most worried about, for fear that his younger brother's internal organs will be damaged at a young age.

"It hurts like hell, my whole body hurts." Zhao Ze'an complained pitifully, and begged weakly, "Can you take a picture of me with the bronze mirror? Is my face disfigured?" He actually started to be afraid when he woke up , just endured and said nothing.

Zhao Zeyong informed: "Your face is fine, but the burns are concentrated on the top of your head and upper left body."

Emperor Chengtian feigned anger: "See if you dare not be naughty next time!"

"That's good." Zhao Ze'an laughed, and said triumphantly, "The fire suddenly started up, which was scary. Fortunately, I covered my face with my arm." After speaking, he licked his lips again.

Are you still proud?

Zhao Zeyong suddenly felt a headache and took a deep breath helplessly.Immediately afterwards, he suddenly frowned, looked at his younger brother's white and chapped lips, and asked, "Thirsty?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Ze'an couldn't nod his head and blinked desperately.

"Where's the imperial physician?" Zhao Zeyong was quite dissatisfied, turned his head and raised his voice and asked, "Where are the imperial physicians? Xiao Jiu is so thirsty, can she not drink water or is there no one to feed her?"

These words were like a slap in the face, and they were thrown loudly on the faces of others.Including Emperor Chengtian.

King Qing is such a man - he is really angry, and he doesn't look at anyone's face.

"Who is serving in this room?" Emperor Chengtian was not happy anymore, his loving father's face was not tense, his eyebrows were twisted into a deep "Chuan" character, he looked at the queen and asked: "What's going on with Kunhe Palace? Xiao Jiu Is there no one around?"

Why no one?You are not human?I'm not human?A room full of people!

Half of the people around the little white-eyed wolf were killed by you last night, and the other half were taken away for interrogation.Now you ask me?

However, no matter how resentful and angry she was, the queen couldn't show it, and she had to explain it calmly.

In fact, the imperial physicians who were kicked out by the queen are the most pitiful: they leave as soon as they are called, and come when they are called.The mute eats Coptis chinensis, can't tell the pain, and bears many dissatisfaction and reprimands for life.

"Drink slowly, don't choke, coughing and hurting the wound is enough for you." Zhao Zeyong lowered the teacup as far as possible with his left hand, pinched the reed with his right hand, silently looked at his brother's burns, his heartache was palpable.

"Don't worry, don't move around, it will be bad if you leave a scar." Emperor Chengtian was still patient and didn't walk away.A few concubines were also around, and you spoke with each other to care for me - but they didn't dare to get too close, because they all saw a few blood spots splashed on Zhao Zeyong's robe sleeve.

After Zhao Ze'an quenched his thirst, he was in a better mood, lying down almost contentedly, enjoying the meticulous care of his brother.However, when he glanced around and saw the queen, he suddenly remembered something, and kept his promise and asked: "Brother, did you arrest Madam Zhu?"

The queen's eyelids twitched suddenly, secretly hating that everyone arrived just now without teaching them well, I'm really afraid that the little white-eyed wolf will not help!She tried to save her: "Xiao Jiu misses her nanny? You, you need to recover from your injuries first, and let go of everything else first. The wife and mother will explain and ask him to grant you leave."

Unfortunately it was too late.

Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "I arrested Nanny Zhu. Relying on his seniority, that person relied on the old to sell the old, bullied the young master, and tampered with Xiaojiu's soup. of."

"There is such a tricky slave?" Emperor Chengtian asked angrily and unbelievably, because the court was busy with government affairs, he hadn't heard about it yet.

"Actually, she's just—" Coptis chinensis was added.Just as Zhao Ze'an asked for love, his voice was lost in the queen's resolute and righteous killing of relatives: "Your Majesty, my concubine is about to report this matter to you. Mrs. Zhu is Xiao Jiu's nanny, so she is quite diligent, otherwise Xiao Jiu would not I will miss her. It's just that Mrs. Zhu has become more and more hollow-minded recently. She is selling her old status everywhere because she is her brother's nanny. How can the concubine let her go? So he beat her several times. Unexpectedly, she not only did not know how to repent, Instead, he held a grudge, and dared to take Xiao Jiu's soup to vent his personal anger! Such a vicious person, Kunhe Palace will not tolerate it, please Your Majesty make a decision!"

Huh?Didn't you just ask me to intercede?Am I misunderstanding you?

Zhao Ze'an looked at the queen ignorantly, but didn't have the nerve to ask, for fear that she would think him stupid again.

"Needless to say, just deal with it according to the law." Emperor Chengtian turned black in disgust.Then he asked seriously: "Third brother, is there any progress in the case?"

Zhao Zeyong looked at his younger brother and said in a low voice: "Father, let's go out and talk."

Emperor Chengtian nodded, got up, and told his youngest son: "You have to listen to the doctor's advice and concentrate on healing your wounds. Father will come to see you when he is free." Zhao Ze'an was very reluctant, but he could only nod.Emperor Chengtian said to his wife earnestly and earnestly: "You are the queen of the world, Kunhe Palace, you should take care of it."

"... I would like to obey Your Majesty's order." The queen gritted her teeth and bowed her knees.

Zhao Zeyong didn't look sideways, and just concentrated on telling the imperial physician: "Take good care of Xiaojiu, and I will definitely reward you. If he doesn't follow the doctor's advice, just tell me." Then, Zhao Zeyong appointed several reliable people to take care of him. , and then leave at ease.

-

The new year is difficult, the year is sad.This year is extremely difficult.

Day thinking, night dreaming.

Rong Youtang always cared about his family.

"23, sticky melons; 24, sweep the house... 28, make the dough 29, steam the buns..." In a trance, I heard children singing the twelfth lunar month song in unison in the streets and alleys.

In the dream, Rong Youtang was still sleeping on the couch at home, feeling dark and sweet, warm and comfortable.Before dawn, there were rustling noises outside, and the aroma of steaming food, presumably the kitchen must be full of food.Someone was talking in a low voice: "...don't bark yet, you have to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, let my brother sleep more, he is still growing."

"Hey, okay." The housekeeper was busy.

"Master, do you think this dish is suitable? Do you need to add more?" Zhang Ma asked while wearing an apron.

Rong Kaiji said kindly: "Just follow the old rules. My brother has a light taste, and he likes to eat as much as possible. He is the only child at home..."

Rong Youtang smashed his mouth, changed his posture, laughed in his sleep, and murmured: "Father~"

Unexpectedly, there was a piercing and clear sound in his ear, and Rong Youtang woke up instantly. He had always been a light sleeper.

Feili half-opened his eyes: the candles were brightly lit on the table, King Qing was sitting upright, flipping through some documents, he changed into a robe, his face was tired, but his posture was still upright.

"Your Highness?" Rong Youtang yelled in confusion, thinking he was still dreaming, but then he woke up completely, opened his eyes wide in shock, and asked nervously, "Is it Chinese New Year? What date is it today?"

Zhao Zeyong's voice could not detect emotion: "Twelfth lunar month 28. Did you dream about the Chinese New Year? Keep tapping your mouth and drooling."

Embarrassed, Rong Youtang immediately raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth - he wasn't drooling?

"Huh." Zhao Zeyong made a rather pleasant nasal sound, calmly, and turned the page with a "jaw~".

Rong Youtang immediately knew that the other party was in a good mood!He got off the bed, excitedly moved to the table, and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, did the murderer catch you?"

Zhao Zeyong glanced at the young man in the moon-white undershirt, and said, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Where is your robe?" After speaking, he nodded his chin toward the screen in the corner.

Who cares about the robe at this time!

"It's okay, I'm not cold, the floor heating is used in the palace." Rong Youtang sat down spontaneously, but he didn't dare to look closely at the stack of documents, so he could only ask helplessly, "Your Highness, has the murderer been caught? Is His Highness Ninth awake?"

Zhao Zeyong finished reading carefully, coded the documents neatly, and answered the second question first: "Xiao Jiu woke up. Fortunately, he didn't hurt his lungs. It's just that his hair was completely burned by the fire, and his wound hurt again. He cried Half a day."

"That hair...?" Rong Youtang asked cautiously, thinking that no one could accept that he became bald.

"It was just scorched. The guards poured water on it in time to put out the fire. It will grow back."

Rong Youtang breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart: "That's good." After a pause, he asked casually: "Then why don't you accompany him? His Highness Ninth Prince is actually very dependent on his elder brother, he's just embarrassed to say so."

"You know him quite well." The corners of Zhao Zeyong's mouth curled up, but he quickly put away his smile, and said helplessly, "This king is an adult, and he is not allowed to stay overnight in Kunhe Palace according to the law. He can only go after dawn. However, recently During special times, the emperor will rest in the central palace, and Zuo Fan also stayed there."

"That's good." Rong Youtang couldn't wait to ask again: "Then, has the murderer been caught? New Year's Eve is coming soon!"

Zhao Zeyong nodded lightly: "The confession was interrogated overnight. When the morning dawns, I will show my face to my father."

...It sounds like you have to continue to investigate?

"Your Highness, is the murderer cunning?" Rong Youtang thought for a while and asked in another way.

However, Zhao Zeyong understood as soon as he heard it, and scolded with a tiger face: "Why are you beating around the bush? The murderer... should not be caught."

It's not "can't catch", but "can't catch".

Who did the clue lead to?Is it a royal infighting?That is indeed difficult, and the whole world will laugh at it if it is revealed, and the dignity of the royal family will be demolished.

Rong Youtang hesitated to speak, but finally did not say anything.

"From afternoon to midnight, this king, eldest brother, second brother, sixth younger brother, seventh younger brother, and fifth younger brother will jointly interrogate the captured suspects." Zhao Zeyong closed his eyes and kneaded the space between his brows.

The suspect must be unable to survive, unable to survive... Rong Youtang can imagine the torture process just by listening.

"Torture back and forth, and the suspects finally let go. But among the superiors they confessed, they all identified the eunuchs in charge of Kunhe Palace and Baohe Palace." Zhao Zeyong mocked.

Wow, what a mess!

Rong Youtang sighed and stopped listening.

"Some people naturally refused to accept it, and were very angry. They killed two of them with their own hands. In my eyes, in short, there are suspicions."

Rong Youtang was a little unwilling, and sighed: "Then, the murderer can only be the eunuch in charge of the two palaces?"

"Well, most likely." Zhao Zeyong sneered: "If we continue to investigate, we still don't know who will be found out!"

The fig leaf emperor will not let gossip, the investigation to this extent, the impact is too wide.

Rong Youtang couldn't help but sympathized and said: "So, His Highness Ninth Prince was just implicated unfortunately."

"The real culprit behind the scenes is really cunning." Zhao Zeyong's face was solemn, "However, when he found out that it was Xiao Jiu who was calling for help at the scene of the arson, he deliberately gave up the detonation plan and gave Xiao Jiu a chance to escape."

Thinking hard!

"I can't figure it out." Rong Youtang shook his head, "Does the murderer want to deal with Kunhe Palace or Baohe Palace? His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince or the Blessing Pagoda? If it wasn't for His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince's accident, you should also be—" Rong Youtang suddenly stopped talking , stood up, and looked at King Qing in embarrassment.

Zhao Zeyong smiled, not angry, but feigned anger and said: "You can't hold back your mouth! Everyone understands it in their hearts, so there is no need to say it."

uh~

Rong Youtang looked down at the tip of his toes, calmed down a bit, raised his head, looking for something to say, belatedly asked: "It's still early, isn't it? Why don't you go to court after a while?"

Zhao Zeyong turned his head to look at his messy bed.

What, what do you mean?

"Boom~" After a while, Rong Youtang was astonished, and asked in disbelief: "This, is this your room?"

It doesn't look like it, it's not magnificent at all!

"The king's study is next door." Zhao Zeyong simply explained.This is the bedroom of the late concubine Shu. The eldest son's bedroom was arranged by her during her lifetime. There are smiles and faces of the dead mother's voice everywhere, so Zhao Zeyong mostly rests in the study later.

No wonder, I woke up in a dream and saw His Highness!He must have been too busy, he didn't remember that I was here for a while, so he came along.

Rong Youtang suddenly felt guilty, and immediately went to make the bed, and said nervously: "I'm really sorry, I offended you, I didn't know this was your subordinate. Your Highness, hurry up and sleep for a while!"

A body of flesh and blood, two nights and one day, Zhao Zeyong was indeed tired and very tired, but he still remembered to ask: "What about you?"

"I've been in bed for more than a day, and I'm full early. There's an Arhat couch outside. I'll lie down there, and I'll move to another room at dawn." Rong Youtang announced bluntly.

The Arhat couch was too small, Zhao Zeyong was tall and had long legs, so he couldn't lie on it.

"Well, that's fine." Zhao Zeyong nodded, he didn't have the energy to say anything more, walked to the bed, took off his boots, lay down with his clothes on, closed his eyes, almost fell asleep when he touched the pillow, and breathed long and steady.

"..." Rong Youtang was dumbfounded. He stood in front of the bed and thought for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to help cover most of the quilt, then turned around and left lightly.

Alas, being a prince is really stressful. His Majesty ordered his sons to take action, forgetting to sleep and eat.

But, although Eunuch Zuo went to take care of the Ninth Prince, there are other people in this palace, so why didn't you clean up another room for His Highness?

-

Rong Youtang thought curiously, and fell asleep on the Luohan couch in a daze. When he woke up, the room was empty again.

The strangest thing is that he went back to bed!

Sleepwalking?

Rong Youtang sat up wonderingly, just as he lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, there was a light knock on the door, and a clear female voice said respectfully: "My lord, the slaves have come in to serve you."

Son?servants?

Rong Youtang looked at the door blankly: the door opened, and four young court ladies walked in, all of them light and pretty, dressed in the same way, with generous smiles, carrying toiletries, clean clothes, etc. respectively.

Several girls bowed their knees and blessed.

Rong Youtang: "..."

"How is your master resting?" The leading palace lady stepped forward and asked abruptly, she was about to kneel down to put Rong Youtang's boots on.

"My, my God!" Rong Youtang shrank his feet quickly, and hurriedly moved to the end of the bed, stuttering in fright: "Get up, get up, you, why are you kneeling on me?"

The maids all pursed their lips and laughed.

"Where's Your Highness?" It was the first time that Rong Youtang was stuck on the bed by a young girl, blushing with embarrassment.

"His Royal Highness has gone to court, and asked the servants to take good care of the young master."

"Don't, don't, I don't dare to work for the girls, I'm fine." Rong Youtang waved his hands again and again, and said frankly: "I'm His Highness's servant, we have the same status, so don't let me down."

The maids pursed their lips and smiled again, all of them with a vague expression of "you know, I know": When we brought the water in this morning, we saw His Highness holding you on the bed with our own eyes!It's been many years, and it's the first time I saw His Highness put someone on the bed.

"My son said that, it really offends the slaves."

The girls had sharp eyes, and they saw through Rong Youtang's bad temperament that he was not arrogant. They smiled on their faces, but they couldn't help but rub Rong Youtang thoughtfully and meticulously, and then served soup, porridge and cakes, and began to take care of breakfast.

"Girl, I'm serious. Your Highness agrees that I should find another room so as not to disturb his work and rest." Rong Youtang tried his best to explain and fight.

"My lord, which one do you want to use? This servant will give you the cloth." The court lady smiled respectfully, and spoke softly, "If you are in a storm, I will stand still."

Rong Youtang opened his mouth, finally couldn't continue the one-man show, and said helplessly: "Well, when His Highness comes back, I will ask him face to face, and you will know that I am not lying."

"This porridge is just right, young master, can you use some? You are in His Highness's room. If you have anything to say, His Highness will be back later, and it will not be too late to speak slowly."

The people in the room?What is the person in the room?

Rong Youtang was dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

After regaining consciousness, his first reaction was guilt and shame: Your Highness, I am sorry for you.We are in the same room, they misunderstood you as Long Yang's broken sleeve, what should we do?

His Royal Highness King Qing is a wise and powerful man, how can he be short-sleeved?

Rong Youtang thought extremely reverently.

-

Not long after breakfast was withdrawn, King Qing came back with a group of people carrying Zhao Ze'an on a stretcher.

"Shall we sleep together?" Zhao Ze'an asked expectantly with gauze wrapped around his head.

"No, your wound is healing, and scratching the skin will leave scars." Zhao Zeyong refused, commanding: "Steady your hands and feet, don't bump people up. Is the east wing cleaned up?"

"Return to Your Highness, it has been packed."

Zhao Zeyong ordered: "Take him in. In addition, go to the imperial hospital personally and let the imperial doctor come here for consultation."

"Yes."

Zhao Ze'an was bored playing with his fingers, and muttered: "Sleep by yourself, sleep by yourself, I don't care to squeeze with you."

King Qing jokingly asked: "Which puppy said that it wanted to sleep with me just now?"

"..." Zhao Ze'an was taken aback for a moment, then became angry and lost his mind: "Wow, woof, woof, if I were a puppy, you would be a big dog, our family—"

All the servants couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Zeyong was the first to show weakness, and Chong Ni said helplessly: "I can't talk to you. Go into the house and rest, I finally brought you out of Kunhe Palace, don't make trouble."

"Hmph~" Zhao Ze'an is a crab in front of his brother, walking sideways with his teeth and claws open.He played with his fingers for a while, then suddenly thought of it and asked, "Huh? Didn't Brother Rong come to see me in the palace and was injured in the blast? What about others?"

Just as Zhao Zeyong was about to speak, when he looked up, he saw Rong Youtang moving slowly while holding on to the railing, and asked happily from a distance, "Is His Highness the Ninth Prince back?"

Zhao Ze'an was also happy, and wanted to raise his head, but his elder brother quickly held him down, so he could only wave his hand: "It's me! I heard you were blown up, are you okay?"

cough~

"It was only blown away a little bit, it's nothing serious." Rong Youtang followed the stretcher, and the good partners met each other's eyes, both sighed and sighed, talking about what happened to each other.

"...Hey, you didn't see it, the fire suddenly rose up and burned like crazy!" Zhao Ze'an pretended to be deep, his face was serious and solemn, his eyebrows were dancing, and he narrated the thrilling scene in a rhythmic tone: "It's too late to say it, and then it's too fast, I'll tell you soon." Wrapped in a cloak, he jumped to the bed decisively, loudly warned, and called for the guards to come in and put out the fire—"

King Qing interrupted in dismay: "Before jumping to the bed, if you can take off your cloak decisively, your hair will not be burnt out."

"Hey!" Zhao Ze'an glared angrily, expressing strong protest with his eyes.

Everyone suppressed a smile and bowed their heads.

Rong Youtang kindly said: "In fact, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince is very brave. When he woke up in a dream and found a fire, he was able to immediately try to escape the danger. It can be seen that since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth."

King Qing glanced at someone without saying anything.

"Huh~" Zhao Ze'an's hair was smoothed out, and he said angrily, "Even my father praised me for being brave." You ignorant guy!

A group of people suppressed their laughter around the stretcher and stepped into the tall and bright East Wing.

Alas, the palace threshold is so high!

Rong Youtang was holding on to the door frame, just about to lift his foot carefully, when King Qing behind him saw this, he hugged him in, and casually warned: "You are also injured, stay in bed and recuperate, don't come out for a walk all the time."

"Yes." Rong Youtang readily agreed, turned around and moved to sit in front of the couch, and continued to listen carefully and patiently to what the Ninth Prince had to say.

Zhao Zeyong was very puzzled when he saw the one big and one young talking happily, he laughed and shook his head.

At this time, Zuo Fan stepped forward and told: "Your Highness, Mr. Guo and Mr. Guo escort Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang into the palace to visit His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Zhao Zeyong frowned worriedly: "The old lady is here?"

"Yes, the queen has agreed."

"You are ready to receive guests, and the prince will go to greet you." Zhao Zeyong ordered, adjusted his robes a little, and raised his voice to inform: "Xiao Jiu, grandma, aunt, and cousins ​​saw you coming, and I will let the old man feel at ease later and understand ?"

"Oh, I know." Zhao Ze'an nodded sensibly.Relatives came to visit, and even the laboring ancestors entered the palace, of course he was happy, and chatted more vigorously.

-

After the snow, the sun is warm, the universe is bright, and the sky and the earth are clear.

But at this hour, there were not many people visiting the Imperial Garden.

Zhao Zeyong hurried to meet his elderly grandmother.Of course he knew that he was anxious outside the palace, but these two days he was so busy solving the case that he was really at his wits end - in fact, the truth had not yet come to light, but with a wave of Emperor Chengtian's imperial pen and an imperial edict, he hastily dismissed a few people, and Huang Tianwei forcefully covered up the dirty shady scene. And ordered not to open it.

It is difficult for every family to recite scriptures, and the royal family is no exception.

Before Zhao Zeyong submitted his confession to the court, he had already expected the result, so he was not surprised, and calmly watched Cheng Tiandi deceive himself and others.

Only a sigh.

Crossing the path, passing through rockery caves, bypassing pavilions and pavilions, Zhao Zeyong stepped onto a hill full of flowers and trees, ready to take the path to the middle gate.

But when he was about to climb to the top, he suddenly heard a childish and miserable "ji~", and at the same time came a pleasant chuckle.

Who?

Zhao Zeyong was puzzled, held his breath and concentrated, concealed his whereabouts, and watched from a distance:

It's the eighth brother.What is he doing?

Zhao Zening was squatting on the ground, holding a baby bird in his hands, and a small mass of bloody flesh was at his feet.

He started to twist the chick's left leg slowly, increasing his strength, the bird flapped its wings and struggled desperately, but to no avail. With a "click~", the left leg was broken.Zhao Zening was engrossed and seemed to be having fun.He twisted the broken leg again, pulled it out abruptly with force, blood splashed out, the chick opened its mouth wide, but lost its voice, and twitched all over. Wound.
