Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 221 Interlocking
When the Fourth Prince felt a soft body approaching him, he wanted to enter the land of tenderness without hesitation. But before he even touched Yixiu, he felt a chill rushing to his head.
The Fourth Prince was stimulated by the coldness and opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Yixiu and Su Peisheng surrounding him.
Yixiu asked anxiously and concernedly, "Is the prince awake?"
Although the Fourth Prince still felt hot all over, his mind had begun to clear up, "Master, what happened?"
Yixiu wiped away her tears excitedly, "Your Highness must have scared me to death. I got up too early today, and Miaohan is so small that she kept nodding her head in sleep. I wanted to talk to Your Highness about letting Miaohan go back first. But Jianqiu went to look for her and found that both the Prince and Su Peisheng were gone.
The prince is a very sensible person. If he really left, how could he not tell me? I was shocked to realize that the prince might have been plotted against. Thinking that the prince could not go to the back, Huichun and I split up. I went to the shopping street, and Huichun went to look for him at the Dragon King Temple.
As the Fourth Prince listened to Yi Xiu's words, he gradually recalled what happened just now, "Just now when I was confused, I seemed to hear a woman's voice."
Speaking of this, Yixiu was even more frightened, "There was a person dressed as a palace maid outside who tried to force his way in. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
The Fourth Prince's face turned pale. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Five Poisons should not be allowed to get close to anyone. The so-called Five Poisons not only refers to five poisonous things, but also refers to the five bad habits that people are most afraid of, that is, the Five Poisons that have all the Five Poisons.
Of course, the Fourth Prince personally did not think that lust was harmful, but Kangxi did mind it. To be more precise, Kangxi had very high expectations for his sons. For example, Kangxi himself believed that drinking would confuse the mind and lead to stupidity. Therefore, he did not approve of his sons drinking too much.
What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more, so the princes may drink however they want in private, but when it comes to public, everyone drinks in moderation.
The same is true for avoiding the five poisonous creatures during the Dragon Boat Festival. No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they must act like gentlemen in front of Emperor Kangxi.
Especially the issue of palace maids was very sensitive. No matter how beautiful or ugly they were, palace maids were theoretically Kangxi's women. Wouldn't favoring palace maids be playing on Kangxi's already sensitive nerves?
The Fourth Prince felt like he was going to have a brain hemorrhage when he thought about what would happen if Kangxi knew that he had been doing something with a palace maid in Changchun Garden, or even caught him in bed.
"Su Peisheng, bring that palace maid to mother. Investigate for me. I want to find out who used such dirty tricks." The Fourth Prince ordered with gritted teeth.
At this time, it would be most appropriate for Concubine De to take Li Jingui away. If the Fourth Prince intervenes, even if there is no problem, something big will happen.
"Yes!" Su Peisheng left the room and went to interrogate Li Jingui.
At this time, Huichun, who had gone to the Dragon King Temple to look for someone, also came back. She entered the house in a panic, "Your Majesty, Madam, we found the body of a young eunuch by the lake in the Dragon King Temple. The guards patrolling the palace also saw it. The emperor was furious and was about to take a head count!"
This shocked the Fourth Prince and Yixiu. If Yixiu had not brought peppermint oil to refresh the mind, and had chosen to help the Fourth Prince detoxify herself, wouldn't she have been caught by the enraged Kangxi?
Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince held Yixiu's hand gratefully and said, "If it weren't for Xiaoyi's cleverness today, I'm afraid..."
"I am married to the prince, so I must consider him."
Yixiu was now extremely grateful to herself. If she hadn't disliked the Fourth Prince, she wouldn't have thought of bringing the special cooling oil. If she was really blocked in the room, Yixiu should just end it herself. It was too embarrassing.
As he was speaking, the Fourth Prince was supported by a young eunuch and returned to the pavilion where they watched the play with Yi Xiu.
The Eighth Prince was standing with the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, pretending to be confused, and they had all prepared drafts.
When Kangxi angrily asked, "Where are my Fourth Prince and my Prince Yong?", the Eighth Prince stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Father, you know the Fourth Prince best. How could he be disrespectful to you? He must not have known about it, so he wasted time and failed to come back in time."
Then, the guards who caught the Fourth Prince in bed would come in and report to Kangxi what they had seen.
The Eighth Prince didn't believe that under such circumstances, Kangxi could still forgive the Fourth Prince.
Immersed in his own imagination, the Eighth Prince almost laughed out loud, until he saw the Fourth Prince, who was supposed to be "making love and not knowing what world was", walk in.
Although the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been interrogated, the Fourth Prince has already made a guess.
The Fourth Prince said to the Eighth Prince, who looked as if he had seen a ghost, "Eighth brother, why are you so surprised to see me?"
The Eighth Prince responded with a fake smile, "How could that be? Fourth Brother must have seen it wrong."
The Fourth Prince said sarcastically, "Really? I was thinking that my eighth brother thought that my brother shouldn't be here."
The Eighth Prince smiled with a fake smile, "What are you talking about, Fourth Brother? The Emperor has called everyone together, where else can Fourth Brother go if he doesn't come to the gathering?"
The Fourth Prince responded with the same fake smile as the Eighth Prince.
Huang Rongxuan did his job neatly and efficiently. Apart from Xiao Youzi's body, no clues were found tonight. Kangxi could not deal with the affairs of the harem in front of the court officials, so he could only announce the end of the banquet tiredly.
The sensitive minister knew that something unknown must have happened tonight, but at a time like this, if he didn't shrink his head and pretend he knew nothing, who would bring his family to the school to die?
Kangxi's originally happy mood was gone, "Hasn't anything abnormal been found yet?"
Liang Jiugong replied, "It was Huichun, who was with the Fourth Lady, who found the body of Xiao Youzi. According to her, she was sent by the Fourth Lady to look for Prince Yong. The Fourth Lady was looking for him on the other side. I also asked the guards and saw that the Fourth Lady found Prince Yong in the shopping street and they returned to the stage together."
Kangxi turned his jade ring and asked, "Why did the fourth brother go to the shopping street for no reason?"
"I heard that Prince Yong drank too much and left the table to get rid of the alcohol," said Liang Jiugong.
Kangxi frowned, "I remember that the fourth brother didn't drink much. Realgar wine is not a strong liquor." How high could the alcohol content of the realgar wine that could be provided to the female relatives be?
"The Emperor gave Prince Yong's family a plate of rice dumplings. The princes were envious and drank a few more cups with Prince Yong."
"anything else?"
Liang Jiugong said hesitantly, "There was a maid in the garden who was taken away by Concubine De. Concubine De said that she saw that the maid was clever, so she transferred her to her own palace."
"What is the origin of that palace maid?" Kangxi was already certain that today's incident was aimed at the Fourth Prince.
