I am a cat in the palace

"Concubine Duan just brought the fourth prince to pay her respects. Third Highness, do you think you..." Chang An waited at the gate of the palace early, and he should have come to remind Shang Xin specially, the implication is obviously to hope Shang Xin able to avoid.

Shang Xin glanced at Chang An with a half-smile, he felt a little unclear about Chang An's attitude, which side was he on?He obviously doesn't look like a running dog under Concubine Duan's sect, but at some point, he will always pave the way for Concubine Duan to build bridges.

"Mr. Chang, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that the palace should avoid it? If only the concubine Duan comes, that's fine. Since the fourth brother is also here, and I haven't seen him for a long time, my brothers should always get close and never see each other. But it's not good."

Shang Xin directly blocked Chang An's words. In the past, the former concubine was a first-rank concubine, and even the prince had to be polite and lenient when meeting her. Now she only has a third-rank concubine left, so why should he have any scruples?Could it be that she is now a little concubine and can block his way again?

Chang An was a little embarrassed, but in the end he gave way to Shang Xin wisely.

"His Royal Highness King Zhen is here." Following the voice of the passer-by, palace servants came up to welcome him, opening the door and opening the curtains for Shang Xin.

Shangxin brought Daxian, Fulin, and Wanji into Xingde Palace, and when he entered the old emperor's bedroom, he immediately smelled a strong smell of medicine.

When Shang Xin entered the room, he saw the old emperor lying on the bed with a pale face, Concubine Duan was holding a bowl of medicine, feeding the old emperor one spoonful after another.

The fourth prince, Shang Xuan, knelt in front of the old emperor's bed, tightly holding one of the old emperor's hands with both hands, as if he was talking about something just now, with tears still on his face.

"Father, my son pays respects to Father." Shang Xin knelt down and saluted the old emperor.

"Shang Xin is here too, get up." Seeing Shang Xin coming in, the old emperor relaxed his serious expression slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for Shang Xin to get up.

"What a coincidence, Concubine Duan and the Fourth Prince are here too." Shangxin Shi Shiran got up, turned his head and glanced at Concubine Duan and the Fourth Prince indifferently.

Concubine Duan immediately got up with a face full of fear, "The Third Highness is here too, I'm being polite."

While saluting, she also stretched out her hand to pull the fourth prince, but the fourth prince just stuck his neck and pretended not to see it.

Shang Xin was also polite, and waved his hand after receiving her gift down-to-earth, motioning for her to excuse her, "Concubine Duan came here so early to serve Emperor Father, she really has a heart."

As for the fourth prince, Shang Xin just looked at him and smiled. It happened that the fourth prince also looked at him at the same time. Seeing his indifferent smile, the fourth prince immediately showed a vicious expression on his face. The remaining tear stains seemed to reveal a strange venom inexplicably.

However, when this venomous gaze slid behind Shang Xin's back, he suddenly froze, and then he froze, as if his soul had been taken away by someone.

"Third Highness is serious. Serving His Majesty is our duty as concubines. How dare we slack off for a day. The Empress is in poor health, and she is busy with holding banquets and entertaining ladies from various families these days. It seems that she intends to replace the second prince. Choosing a concubine, of course, I don't have time to serve His Majesty. The concubine heard that the emperor's old illness had relapsed last night, and she was really worried. She didn't sleep all night. She thought she would come over last night to take a look, but now I'm only one The third-rank concubine needs to get permission from the Secretary of the Inner House before she can meet Her Majesty, so she had to wait all night, waiting for dawn, and after finally staying up until dawn, she handed over the sign to see Her Majesty." While talking, Pearl-like tears fell from his eyes.

Concubine Duan has an excellent complexion. She likes to wear plain clothes, and she only wears light makeup on her face on weekdays. She has painted distant mountain eyebrows and apricot eyes. The bright eyes always seem to be full of tenderness, and she looks like a Jiangnan lady. Graceful appearance.Once such a beauty sheds tears, it is naturally very distressing.

The old emperor withdrew the hand held by the fourth prince, and gently held her hand, "Your grade matter, wait for the next year, I will tell the queen again, Shang Xuan is ignorant and made a big mistake , but teaching the prince is not your job alone, and you can't blame you for this matter."

"Your Majesty, Shang Xuan is ignorant, but whether he did it or not, the concubine thinks that we should investigate more carefully. The empress is majestic and majestic, she listens to the wind and rain, and took us Shang Xuan indiscriminately." Punishment. At that time, I was also in a daze. I only listened to the little girl's one-sided words, and I really thought it was our Shangxuan's fault. I didn't even ask what happened. I confessed to the crime. But after returning, The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. How old is Shang Xuan? He hasn't turned twelve yet. Look, his head is half a head shorter than His Highness the Third Highness. How does he know those things? Not to mention, let alone break that girl's body."

Speaking of this, Concubine Duan turned her head to look at the third prince, her eyes were full of doubts, she almost said that the empress and Shang Xin had framed her son together.

Shang Xin was about to laugh angrily. There were all the witnesses and material evidence. At that time, Shang Xuan nodded and confessed to the crime. This woman still wanted to retract the confession. Did she think his father was stupid, or the queen was stupid?I'm afraid that when she said these words now, she was waiting here especially for him, right?It's just that he is really too lazy to argue with this woman. Dealing with this woman is the queen's business. As a prince, if he really entangled with her concubine, he would be really stupid.

"This hall also thinks that the fourth brother is young and will make such a mistake. There must be something hidden in it, so although this hall saw the servant of the fourth emperor's brother imprisoned the little maid, this hall still thinks that what Duan Concubine said is very reasonable. , this matter should be carefully investigated, and then we can discuss it with the empress, so as not to really wrong the fourth brother. Fourth brother, don't you think so?"

Shang Xin asked the fourth prince with a smile, but after waiting for a long time, the fourth prince did not reply, and when he lowered his head, he found that the fourth prince was staring straight at his back.Shang Xin was slightly stunned, and then his eyes turned cold. He immediately moved a step slightly to block the fourth prince's presumptuous sight, and the smile on his face was instantly cold.

Just now everyone was only busy listening to Concubine Duan and Shang Xin talking, no one noticed the fourth prince who was kneeling in front of the bed with his head slightly lowered.At this moment, seeing that Shang Xin looked at the fourth prince with strange eyes, and the fourth prince did not answer Shang Xin's words at all, they also felt the strangeness of the fourth prince, and looked at him together.

It's just that for a moment, because the line of sight was blocked by Shang Xin, the fourth prince came back to his senses in shock, and felt that his father and mother concubine were looking at him. Although he didn't fully hear what Concubine Duan said to Shang Xin before, it was about Hear a few key words, such as "wronged".

He came to Concubine Qian to explain to him, so at this moment, without thinking about it, he put on an innocent and cute face that belonged to an 11-year-old child, threw himself on the old emperor's bed and cried loudly: "Father, My son is wronged!"

There are too many dirty things in the harem. The old emperor couldn't help hesitating when he heard this, and looked at the face of the fourth prince who was still full of childishness. Indeed, the fourth prince is too young, even a 12-year-old boy Even if they are considered adults, some of them can marry, but the fourth child is not yet 12 years old after all, and there is still a long way to go.

"Okay, don't cry anymore, cough cough... I, I'm tired, no matter what, let's talk about this matter after a year." The old emperor held his chest, and couldn't stop coughing again, coughing In the end, I was a little out of breath.

Shang Xin hurried forward, first patted the old emperor's chest and wiped his back, and then hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor. It was more than an hour after all the fuss was over and the old emperor was served to lie down.

"You all go back." The old emperor wearily waved to Shang Xin and Concubine Duan's mother and son who were standing in front of the bed.

Shangxin looked at his seriously ill father distressedly, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, turned his head and looked at him, as if he was competing with him, the concubine Duan and his son who had to wait for him to leave first, couldn't help but With a soft sigh, he knelt down to salute the old emperor, and then left.

After leaving Xingde Palace, Concubine Duan took the fourth prince and walked away without even looking at Shang Xin. Shang Xin frowned deeply as she looked at Concubine Duan's back.

"The thief's eyes of the fourth child have been staring at me just now, and I really want to pull out his eyeballs." Daxian, who has been silent like a real little eunuch since entering Xingde Palace, suddenly spoke behind Shang Xin's back.

"I didn't expect him to come today. I knew I wouldn't bring you out." Shang Xin also remembered the astonishing eyes of the fourth prince when he saw the Great Immortal just now, and felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

"Could it be that we are still afraid that he will fail?" Daxian immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction with Shang Xin's words.

Shang Xin hurriedly comforted the humanoid cat, "I just don't like the way he looks at you, it's very dirty."

These words really succeeded in calming the humanoid cat, Daxian smiled, "Then I will find a way to blind him."

Shang Xin smiled lightly, and patted Daxian's face, "Don't get your hands dirty. The Chinese New Year is almost here, let's wait until after the Chinese New Year to see if the Empress can throw him out of the palace."

The fourth prince, who left behind Concubine Duan, seemed a little absent-minded. Even Concubine Duan was talking to him, but he hardly listened to him. There was only one question in his head: How can we get that little eunuch Get it in his hands?

Ever since he met that little eunuch, he just felt like he had lost his soul. He only felt that in the past year since he knew about personnel affairs, all the men and women who had played in and out of the palace were not as good-looking as that little eunuch. No matter what, he must get the little eunuch. This desire is a hundred times stronger than killing the cat in the arms of the third child.

By the way, having said that, why didn't the third child come with his cat in his arms today?Hasn't he always been inseparable from that cat?

"Jin Fu!"

"Hey, Your Highness, the slave is here."

"Go to the hall to find out, what is the name of the little eunuch that the youngest is following today, when did he come in, and which avenue he went through, everything is in detail, let the hall find out carefully."

Jin Fu was slightly stunned, but recalling the face of the little eunuch that Jing Hong saw at a glance, Jin Fu, who knew his master very well, almost immediately understood the fourth prince's intentions.

only--

That's the person next to the third prince, I'm afraid it's not easy to make a move.
