Prison Dragon

After this incident, Concubine Li no longer let Yang You move around at will.The injury on his hand was still not healed, so he used this reason as an excuse to stay in the palace.

Yang You took care of it for more than half a month, and the wound on his hand had scabbed over, and it was still a little itchy.During the period, Ao Chen would come to visit him from time to time, and the two of them talked about secrets in the palace together.

"Speaking of which, do you know what happened to that person?" Ao Chen asked, he only remembered the names of a few people, such as Yang You, Concubine Li and the most common maids in Qingfang Palace.

For other people, he will always refer to him. Yang You is also very troubled by his habit. It takes him a long time to guess who Ao Chen is referring to.

"Who are you talking about?" Yang You looked up from the script.

He sat on the rocking chair and ate pastries, while Ao Chen wrote and drew on his desk.

"Your brother."

"You mean Yang Xiu?" Yang You thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, there is no news recently."

"It's coming soon." He put down his pen with great interest, and pointed to the door.

Yang You's personal maid Ruifang came over with tea.

Ao Chen smiled and said, "Don't ask?"

Yang You took the tea, tasted sweet and sour, he glanced at Ruifang.

Ruifang said: "This is the fruit tea that His Majesty rewarded. Your Majesty is not used to drinking it. She said that His Highness will definitely like it."

He always likes new things, and the taste is on the sweet side, Li Fei remembers it very clearly.

"Why does the emperor want to reward fruit tea, every palace has it?"

"That's not true," Ruifang said proudly, "His Majesty heard that you were still recuperating because of the previous incident, so he rewarded you from time to time. There are no other palaces, only the Qingfang Palace."

Only then did Yang You remember that he had already received a lot of things from the emperor.

Since he grew up, the emperor became more and more interested in him.

This is not a good thing.

Although he sometimes hopes to be favored by his father, he never wants to be favored like that.

The sweet and sour lingering on the tip of the tongue immediately changed, Yang You put the tea aside and did not move, "Is there anything new in the palace recently?"

Ruifang immediately replied, "No."

Without even thinking about it, this must be a lie.

Yang You laughed, "You must be lying to me, I was suffocated to death in the palace, and you still don't gossip with me."

Ruifang helped him find the crickets and birds, "If you have something, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not a child," Yang You said, throwing things at the little lady, "So what?"

Biting her lip, Ruifang seemed to be hesitating whether to tell her or not. Secrets should be shared in order to have the pleasure of telling them.

Yang You urged: "Well, I won't say it casually. I'll take care of you if you have anything."

"Okay," Ruifang came over, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Recently, the palace is full of rumors about the Sixth Highness."

"What rumor?" Yang You glanced at Ao Chen, and Ao Chen also showed an expression of interest.

"A few days ago, I heard that His Highness the Sixth Highness is going to be crowned king first."

Yang You, Yang Xiu, and Yang Lun were all born in the same year, and they are all about 15 years old this year. It is true that they have reached the age of becoming king, and it is not a big deal for Yang Xiu to become king first.

Ruifang said: "His Majesty the Sixth Highness is named Prince Rui. I heard that His Majesty has already granted him a mansion in the capital. It seems that His Highness Sixth is going to stay in the capital. What's more, His Majesty rewarded Mao Chengwen from Dongwu Palace His Highness the Sixth Prince, said that he is the long history of the palace."

Mao Chengwen has been the emperor's favorite man for more than a year, but now he may have been squeezed out by Wu Yizhi, and the emperor has acted with Wu Yizhi several times in succession.

But what is the status of the emperor, why would he give his male favorite to his son as a long history?This is as absurd as a father giving his concubine to his son as a maid.

How could the emperor do such a thing?

What happened between Mao Chengwen and Yang Xiu made the emperor abandon his male favourite...

Yang You suddenly thought of the scars on Yang Xiu's body. Could it be that Mao Chengwen was the one who flirted with Yang Xiu before him?

Not impossible.

He immediately thought of an even more incredible point. Logically speaking, even if the emperor's bedside person had an affair with the prince, even if the crime of the prince was not punished, how could there be any reason to keep another person and send him to the prince's side?

What did Yang Xiu do to make the emperor compromise with him, or even show his favor?

This made Yang You more suspicious, and Yang Xiu was also involved in the layout at that time.

He is not just a victim.

"Now it is rumored that His Highness the Sixth Highness has broken sleeves." Ruifang straightened up after speaking.

Yang You felt that it was necessary for him to meet Yang Xiu.

Before he had time to meet Yang Xiu, after lunch, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to inform him of the proposed title. The emperor wanted the three princes to be crowned king at the same time in order to avoid trouble.

Ao Chen stayed in his room to play by himself, while Yang You and Concubine Li met with the people from the Ministry of Rites and gave them many gifts.

Concubine Li asked him to choose the title himself.

Yang You glanced at the list presented by the Ministry of Rituals, and there were three titles given out, King Jiaodong, King Guangning, and King Hongnong.

Yang You's heart skipped a beat.

According to the practice of the Qi State, the two-character titles represent the county kings, and the titles are lower, while the one-character titles represent the princes. Among them, the four titles of Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu are the most noble.

Because these four characters represent the four most powerful countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Prince Yang Jian used to be titled King Jin, followed by King Chu of the second prince Yang Ti, and King Yang Renqi of the third prince.

The fourth prince, Yang Shi, guarded the frontier pass, so he used Guangwuguan, the most important pass in the northwest, as the title of King of Guangwu.

Yang Xiu was titled King Rui, which means that his status is not as high as that of the first three brothers, but he is also honorable.

Yang You asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites, "I wonder if the seventh brother has chosen a title?"

The official replied: "King An was chosen."

It seems that all the princes are princes, and only he is the county king.

I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose or someone secretly obstructed it, no matter what, it was according to Yang You's wishes. Anyway, what he wanted was to seal a little prince casually and then leave the palace to enjoy himself.

It is best to seal it as far away as possible.

Jiaodong is a rich place in the East China Sea. It is a good place and has a lot of taxes. Yang You immediately fell in love with him, "I think the King of Jiaodong is pretty good."

Concubine Li put down the tea cup in her hand upon hearing this, "King Jiaodong?"

She came over and snatched the post from Yang You's hand. Seeing that it was full of two-character titles, she got angry and stared at Yang You fiercely. I have to discuss it with His Majesty, and I have to take a trip, Mr. Lao."

Officials from the Ministry of Rites knew that Yang You was not a strong candidate for the throne, so they guessed that Qingfang Palace was dissatisfied with the title, so they declined, with a slight mockery on their faces, they accepted the post and left.

Concubine Li pretended not to see his expression, and sent him out with a smile on her face.

As soon as the official left, she stared at Yang You with a downcast face.

Yang You lowered his head and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the palace was deadlocked, all the eunuchs and maidservants held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.

It took a long time for Concubine Li to say with hatred: "Everyone else is a prince, even the Sixth Prince has Prince Rui, and we are the only county kings, it's too deceiving!"

"Mother, the king of the county is very good, Jiaodong is also a rich place, I can take you and my brother over there..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Li slapped the table and reprimanded, "You're really pissing me off, you don't have any ambition at all, you just want to go outside and become a little prince all day long!"

"mother……"

Concubine Li signaled him not to speak, "I'll go and talk to the Holy One about this matter, because of his love for you, he definitely won't just give you the title of county king, there must be someone obstructing it."

Yang You originally wanted to stay away from the trouble of the emperor, wishing he could go to the fief early to take up his post, he hurriedly said: "Mother, you don't need to look for the emperor, let's continue the title."

"Yang You!" Concubine Li stared angrily, her expression was still dignified, and her eyes revealed sharpness and anger that could not be concealed, "Everyone else is a prince, but you are a county king, and you are also the son of the emperor, and you are also a man. Why do you swallow it?" Take it easy!"

"My son doesn't want to do nasty things like fighting over and over again..."

Snapped--

Red handprints were left on Yang You's face. Concubine Li frowned slightly as she shook her hand that was too forceful, "The Holy Majesty loves you, anyone can tell. He likes you, you should learn to Use this opportunity."

Hearing this, Yang You felt extremely ironic, and his voice raised a lot, "Don't you know what the father's plan is? Anyone can see it, I'm afraid everyone is watching the joke behind his back!"

He was full of incomprehension and resentment towards his mother: "Does he want me to lie on the bed and spread/open/legs, and I should make good use of this opportunity?"

He gritted his teeth.

"How dare you say that about your father!"

Yang You clenched his fists and continued: "I said what's wrong with him? When did he not use that disgusting look..."

"Your Highness Fifth!" Zhan Fang covered his mouth, afraid that he would say something excessive in a moment of excitement.She pulled Yang You to sit on a chair, and dismissed all the palace servants, leaving only Yang You, Concubine Li and her.

"Your Highness, speak carefully." Zhan Fang grabbed his shoulders hard.

Yang You took off all the strength in his body, but still did not change his mind: "I want to seal it outside."

Li Fei came over and bent down, looked at him at the same level, gently stroked his face with her hand, adjusted her expression and said calmly: "You are my child, and I will spare no effort to protect you."

"But, child, people always do things that go against their heart. I know you and him. It's best if you don't get it. The biggest attraction you have for him is that he can't impress you, and he can't get it. You, so he yearns for you very much. As long as you are still what he desires but cannot get, you can get everything you want from him. This does not require you to pay anything, just a little hypocritical affection and pretend."

Yang You gritted his teeth and said, "You disdain to violate human relations."

Concubine Li straightened up, her voice was still very calm, but it was extremely calm with anger.

"Have you ever thought that if you went to the Zhongling Hall that day, the person standing here today would violate human relations, it would be you!"

She pointed at Yang You, "In the entire palace, those who play tricks don't believe in the laws of nature and human relations. Once they decide to frame you, they have already abandoned their conscience. You actually want to live here with your conscience, you are crazy, you are crazy!" Do you think you have survived to this day relying on the blessings of saints and gentlemen? Let me tell you, it was me who blocked countless conspiracies and tricks for you! It was me! It was me who used your most disdainful means to protect you to be your saint here A Thousand Years' Dream!"

"Since the palace is a dangerous and vicious existence, why don't we leave it together?" Yang You's eyes were red, and he begged softly with tears in his eyes.

Concubine Li pulled Yang You's skirt and asked him to stand up, "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's minister? As long as you still have royal blood on your body, wherever you are, the palace will be there." , where the conspiracy lies. Do you think you can protect everyone and be the saint in your heart if you take us away?"

"No!" Li Fei shouted, the whites of her light blue eyes were bloodshot, "Others want us to die, but you want me to give up the right to protect myself. You are dragging us to hell! "

"The imperial palace is the real hell!" Yang You argued with his mother in tears.

"Your," Concubine Li held his face with tears streaming down her face and said tremblingly, "You have read all the history books, don't you know that when Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he immediately killed all his brothers? You have to be the only winner You can save your life, mother doesn't need you to be a wise king who will last forever, mother only needs you to live well, your brother is alive, mother begs you, begs you..."

Concubine Li almost cried and choked up: "Mother, please, think more about Mother and your brother."

Yang You opened and closed his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak each time. In the end, he reached out and hugged Concubine Li, wiping away her tears. Concubine Li's makeup was all gone, and in the traces of tears were a pair of tired eyes, It was shocking to see.

Yang You held the emaciated Concubine Li, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, let me think about it, let me think about it."

Concubine Li hugged him and wept bitterly in his arms.

She has been in the palace for many years, no matter when she is proud and beautiful, she can always find her own opportunities in various situations, and can win a place for herself in the harem surrounded by wolves.

But she is too tired.

As if she wanted to cry out all her pain and grievances, Concubine Li stayed in Yang You's arms, crying until her tears ran dry.She wiped her tears gracefully, with an impeccable smile on her face, and she was the beautiful and moving Concubine Li.

Yang You didn't dare to look at her anymore, and rushed out.
