Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

In the nineteenth year of Emperor Renzong's reign, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and was unable to govern the country. He had no choice but to retreat to the temporary palace to recuperate, leaving behind an imperial edict ordering the crown prince to oversee state affairs. The temporary palace was designated a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to enter or disturb it without permission.

However, it happened that the Crown Prince was out of the capital to suppress bandits and his return was uncertain, so the ministers and several adult princes had to temporarily manage state affairs.

At this time, an unexpected event occurred in the city of Yanjing. Noble ladies disappeared one after another. The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Jingzhao Yin three departments worked together but still had no clue. For a time, the people in the city of Yanjing were in panic, and families with daughters sent their daughters out of the city to avoid disaster.

Several carriages with the word "Li" on their logo raised a cloud of dust on the official road. On the hill on one side of the road, two young men stood side by side, watching them leave.

"Sixth Prince, your cousin's carriage has gone far away. It's time for us to return to Beijing. You have been seeing her off for three days and two nights!" Pei Dafu reminded the young master who was staying on the mountain and refused to leave.

Sheng Jingchen glanced at him nonchalantly, and said with a youthful nonchalance: "You are the only one who keeps nagging. If I go back later, will I still be scolded by my brothers?"

Pei Dafu shrank his neck, then smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, it's better for you to go back soon! The Concubine Shu doesn't like you coming to see your cousin off in person. Now that the other princes have gained real power, they are secretly cultivating their influence. The Concubine Shu is looking forward to you returning to compete with them."

Upon hearing this slightly teasing advice, Sheng Jingchen raised his whip and pretended to hit the eunuch beside him, "Pei Dafu, is it because your Highness is too kind to you that you dare to tease your master? I will punish you when I return to the capital."

Pei Dafu laughed boldly, and when he saw his master finally turn his horse, he hurried to catch up, muttering, "His Highness the 28th is also waiting for His Highness the 6th to play with him!"

Thinking of his brother who was born not long ago, Sheng Jingchen raised a doting smile on his face and said disdainfully: "This kid, A Zhan, every time I hold him, he will pee on me. When Pei Dafu goes to the town for a meal later, remember to buy some doll toys for A Zhan. If he dares to pee on me next time, I will take away all those toys and make him anxious!"

When Pei Dafu heard the angry words of the young man, he did not try to comfort him, but instead raised a wicked smile along with his master.

Two horses were on the hill, neighing long and loudly, accompanied by the young man's unrestrained laughter.

It was not until the sun was setting that Sheng Jingchen and his servant arrived at the inn and prepared to stay for the night.

At that time, there were two carriages parked outside the inn, and there were also many male guests sitting inside the inn.

Sheng Jingchen took a casual look, frowned, and followed the waiter into the guest room.

Pei Dafu noticed his master's strange expression and thought he was disgusted by the environment here, so he quickly comforted him: "Sixth Prince, please make do with me for one night. Tomorrow I will find you a better inn to stay in."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the master's brows were still furrowed. "Pei Dafu, don't you think the aura of those people in the inn is quite similar to that of the palace guards?"

Pei Dafu was slightly startled. He opened the door a crack, glanced down secretly, and then closed it. He thought: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. This place is very close to the palace where His Majesty is recuperating. They may be out here to buy things for His Majesty."

Sheng Jingchen nodded slightly upon hearing this, turned around to open the window, lowered his eyes to look at the two carriages parked at the door, and murmured worriedly, "I wonder how Father's condition is? My second and fourth brothers went to visit him at the palace, but they were stopped by the guards before they even entered."

Pei Dafu immediately understood his master's thoughts and said comfortingly, "Sixth Prince, His Majesty went to the palace in anger because the evil concubine was killed by the Crown Prince. When His Majesty calms down, he will definitely return to the palace."

Sheng Jingchen sighed, showing a rare look of distress, and turned around to rest.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the men who had been sitting in the lobby all leave the inn and drive away in their carriages. The dust kicked up a corner of the carriage curtain, and a glimpse of purple clothes flashed by before his eyes.

Sheng Jingchen stared at the carriage that was moving further and further away, and was stunned.

"Sixth Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Dafu looked at his master in confusion, and then he heard him say, "Pei Dafu, this place is not far from the palace. Let's go visit our father!"

Pei Dafu: ⊙▽⊙

……

"Pei An, who is this person?"

"Your Majesty, how could you forget that this is your sixth son—the Sixth Prince Sheng Jingchen! The Sixth Prince is worried about you and misses you day and night, so he tried every possible way to enter the palace to visit you. But is this the case, Dafu?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. The Sixth Prince and you share a deep bond as father and son. I haven't seen you for a long time and miss you so much that I hid under the carriage and entered the palace. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. The Sixth Prince did not intend to disobey your will."

"Oh, a deep love between father and son? I didn't expect that I... have another son?"

As these words filled with ridicule fell, Sheng Jingchen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, trembled violently.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, the emperor's face, full of satisfaction and sarcasm, entered his field of vision.

"Father?"

Sheng Jingchen sat up, but because he was too weak, he could only use his hands to support himself on the ground. He raised his head and glanced around in confusion.

Under the flickering candlelight, Pei Dafu was seen kneeling on the ground trembling with blood oozing from his forehead, and beside him was Pei An with a face full of respect and flattery.

When his gaze moved to the emperor, Sheng Jingchen's pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes fixed on the back of him. There were several naked women lying there, their lives or deaths unknown. They were the women who had disappeared in Yanjing.

At this moment, the emperor's emotionless question rang out above his head: "Why, do you want to give it a try?"

Sheng Jingchen snapped back to his senses from his shock, looked at his father in disbelief, and asked, "Father, are you responsible for the recent disappearances of noble ladies in Yanjing?"

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, looking at Sheng Jingchen with interest, and the words refuting him were already ringing in his ears.

"Your Highness, you are wrong. These women are His Majesty's new concubines. They all volunteered to enter the palace."

Pei An stood up and waved his hand. The women on the bed were dragged out like mud by the young eunuch beside them. They looked like lifeless corpses.

"You're talking nonsense!" Sheng Jingchen retorted angrily.

The flattering smile on Pei An's face did not diminish at all, but became even stronger. He leaned close to the emperor's ear and said, "Your Majesty, I think the guard didn't know how to control his strength just now and accidentally bumped into the Sixth Prince, causing him to speak inappropriately. The Sixth Prince usually respects you very much!"

As soon as the words fell, Pei Dafu quickly echoed: "That's right, Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is so worried about your health that he has lost his appetite. Look, he has lost weight!"

However, the emperor's eyes reflected an extremely angry face. He chuckled contemptuously, reached out and pinched Sheng Jingchen's chin, slowly tightening his grip to make it difficult for him to make a sound.

He glanced at Pei An and commented with a half-smile: "This kid is so naive, he doesn't look like a member of the royal family. The children raised by that person are really stupid."

Pei An, however, seemed not to understand his master's words, and instead responded: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince simply did not receive your careful teaching! His personality and appearance are very similar to yours when you were young. I have followed Your Majesty for more than thirty years, and every time I see the Sixth Prince, I can't help but imagine that if Your Majesty had not been forced to participate in the struggle for the throne, he would have become a carefree prince like the Sixth Prince."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, as if touched by these words, and gradually loosened his hand.

Pei Jingchen lost his composure and said angrily: "You are not..."

Before he could finish his words, Pei Dafu, who was standing by, received a signal from his godfather and covered his master's mouth with all his might.

The emperor also ignored the interaction between the master and servant, and said jokingly: "In this case, I will first teach him about human affairs, so as to see if he is as Pei An said...most like me. Go and bring the woman who was sent in today here."

Pei An's eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at his godson again, responded respectfully, and walked out.

Pei Dafu hugged his still struggling master tightly, and hurriedly thanked him incoherently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The Sixth Prince already has a girl he likes. We can propose marriage when she reaches the age of marriage. Now that you have your Majesty's personal guidance, we will surely be able to live in harmony and grow old together."

The emperor looked at Sheng Jingchen's eyes, which were filled with anger and fear, with contempt. "You, a servant, are much more interesting than your master. I like it. Ahahaha..."

......

Late night

The candlelight in the bathtub flickered dimly, reflecting Sheng Jingchen's embarrassing and disheveled body. Pei Dafu's endless soothing voice kept coming to his ears.

"Your Highness, please be patient for a few days. I have already found a way to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness loves you the most, and knowing the Emperor's absurd behavior, he will definitely rush back to rescue you from the palace."

Sheng Jingchen responded indifferently: "It's useless. Father has shadow guards and the imperial guards outside. The news can't be delivered at all."

Hearing this, Pei Dafu couldn't help but burst into tears, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How can Your Majesty treat you like this? You're only 17 years old!"

"That man is not my father at all!" Sheng Jingchen shouted angrily and punched the wall of the bathtub.

Pei Dafu's face turned pale, and he glanced nervously outside the door. He quickly lowered his voice to remind him: "Your Highness, please don't say this again. Walls have ears. If His Majesty knows, he will torture you again."

Sheng Jingchen's body trembled almost instinctively, and he gasped with resentment and powerlessness. In the end, he could only close his scarlet eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Pei Dafu, how long have I been locked up here?"

Pei Dafu showed reluctance, and after hesitating for a moment, he still answered truthfully: "Your Highness, you have been in the palace for more than a hundred days."

"crash"

Sheng Jingchen stood up from the bathtub and walked towards the bed with a dejected look. His eyes were filled with despair. He said calmly, "Dafu, ask Pei An to plead with that person for me. I... want to write a letter to Zhizhi."

Pei Dafu was delighted to hear this, completely unaware of the suicidal intent behind the words. He stepped forward with a fine cloth and diligently wiped his master's wet body, carefully brushing over the dark blue scars on his limbs.

He said with relief: "Your Highness has finally figured it out. You must take good care of yourself. After we leave the palace, you can meet your cousin..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sheng Jingchen's calm voice: "Go get some paper and pen, I want to write my last letter!"

When Pei Dafu heard this, his movements suddenly froze in mid-air, and the joy on his face instantly disappeared. He fell to his knees on the ground with tears streaming down his face: "Sixth Prince, please don't be depressed. Biao Xiao, Concubine Nuan, and the 28th Prince are all waiting for you to return! Sixth Prince..."

The heart-wrenching plea did not move Sheng Jingchen's face at all. He pushed Pei Dafu away in disgust and suddenly lost control of his emotions: "Get out! Don't touch me!"

"Sixth Prince..." Pei Dafu called out in pain.

At this moment, there was a slight knock at the door. Pei Dafu's crying could not help but stop. He leaned in front of his master again and said, "Sixth Prince, please don't say such angry words. If His Majesty knew about this, with his current temper, he would definitely make you wish for death."

After saying that, he wiped the tears from his face and opened the door.

Then a young eunuch walked into the room with his head lowered and a black lacquer tray in his hand.

On the tray was a disgusting tonic.

Pei Dafu was already familiar with this scene. He skillfully brought the medicine to his master and gently blew away the heat. "Your Highness, this is His Majesty's great love for you. Take it quickly!"

Sheng Jingchen glanced at him with hatred, raised his eyes, stared at the eunuch who delivered the medicine, and asked, "Who are you?"

who?

Pei Dafu turned around in surprise. After just one glance, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Ms. Lian Shu, why are you here? Your Highness, this woman is the Crown Prince's childhood sweetheart and the future Crown Princess."

As these words fell, the young eunuch knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Sixth Prince, please rescue Lian Shu from the palace!"

In an instant, the room fell into dead silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Jingchen sneered, "Only the dead can leave this palace. Miss Lian Shu, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?"

Lian Shu looked up in horror, and her eyes met his ruthless gaze. She was so frightened that she ran out of the house without looking back.

Sheng Jingchen's eyes turned into a dead sea again, like a wooden statue, and he opened his mouth resignedly.

Pei Dafu ignored the woman who suddenly appeared. He quickly fed the tonic into his master's mouth and continued to say words to help him regain his vitality.

At this moment, neither the master nor the servant had anticipated what kind of relationship they would have with this woman in the future.
