Yin Sheng looked around at no one, and couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, so he put his hands on his chest and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The two little eunuchs stepped forward to stop Yin Sheng one after the other, and the two grabbed Yin Sheng's arm together, and one of them said in a shrill voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the imperial concubine has explained, if you run away again, you must be taken back and handed over to him, so I am offended." ”

"Let me go! I am the crown prince of the dynasty! Yin Sheng shouted loudly, but it didn't seem to be to any avail.

The two little eunuchs carried Yin Sheng and took him all the way to the imperial concubine and put him down. As soon as the imperial concubine raised her hand, everyone retreated.

Yin Sheng's eyes revealed a little frightened, and he knelt down and said, "Queen Mother." ”

The imperial concubine didn't correct Yin Sheng's screaming this time, with a faint smile on her face, she asked him, "Sheng'er, where did you go to play today?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't go anywhere, just ran around in the back garden for a while. Yin Sheng hurriedly replied to her.

"Really? How did I hear others say that as soon as Qingdi arrived in the palace to see your father and emperor today, you deliberately ran to the door of the imperial study and waited, and as soon as Qingdi came out, you took people away, and it took a while before you appeared in front of everyone again? The imperial concubine snorted coldly, got up and walked in front of Yin Sheng, and said, "Sheng'er, it's not a good thing to liar people, and the queen mother doesn't like this." ”

Yin Sheng bit his lower lip, then raised his head and said to the imperial concubine with tears in his eyes: "Queen Mother, Sister Qingdi is so beautiful, I like her beauty, so I can't help but want to play with her when I see her......"

"Really?" The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and looked at Yin Sheng, then smiled and said, "You are young, you are quite, it seems that it is time to choose a few concubines for you." ”

Yin Sheng still looked innocent and innocent, and said with his face that was ignorant of the world: "Queen Mother, choose a concubine for me, can you choose a woman who is as good-looking as Sister Qingdi?" Otherwise I don't. ”

"Li Guo is so big, there are naturally many people who are better looking than Qingdi. You can rest assured. When the imperial concubine said this, she suddenly leaned down, approached Yin Sheng, and asked him, "Do you remember what I told you after I came back from the plum garden last time?" ”

Yin Sheng shrunk his neck in fright, nodded, shook his head again, and stammered, "Remember...... I don't remember exactly. ”

"You don't remember, do you?" The imperial concubine stretched out her hand to pinch his immature face, and said: "Then I will repeat to you what I told you that day, I said, you just need to be the son of the palace, don't contact the people of the Chu family behind my back, and don't contact any powerful ministers in the court!" Remember? ”

Yin Sheng struggled and nodded, his voice trembling: "Remember, Queen Mother, I remember." ”

"Oh? Why do I still think you don't have a long memory? The imperial concubine let go of her hand, pulled out a soft leather whip from behind her, turned Yin Sheng over, and slapped him on the back with a "snap" whip, "Child, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, if you are not punished, you still don't have a long memory." ”

Yin Sheng cried "wow", and after a while, the second prince who was separated by a screen, his younger brother Yin Zihuan heard his cry and immediately cried.

Yin Sheng heard Yin Zihuan crying, so he didn't dare to scare him anymore, so he quickly closed his mouth, gritted his teeth, and sobbed and let the imperial concubine beat him.

After ten lashes, Yin Sheng's back hurt hotly, and he only dared to inhale softly. The imperial concubine took back the leather whip and asked him, "Do you remember what I said now?" ”

Yin Sheng nodded desperately with tears in his eyes.

The imperial concubine laughed comfortably, squatted down to help Yin Sheng up, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his tears for him, and said: "Sheng'er, don't blame the queen mother, the queen mother is so strict with you in order to make you the most useful monarch, if you are now in contact with too many people who are entangled in the big forces in the court, and you come into contact with people who reverse black and white above the court, it will confuse your vision, so ah, you can't put your mind on them." ”

Yin Sheng nodded and replied honestly: "I know, Queen Mother, I won't talk to outsiders more in the future." ”

"That's right," the imperial concubine rubbed his hair again, and said, "You are still a child, just enjoy your happy life, don't study too weekdays, play when you should play, eat when you should eat, you have to live a comfortable life, so that when you grow up, you will be a loving monarch." ”

Yin Sheng nodded desperately at anything she said, "I remember, Queen Mother." ”

"Well, okay, you go back to your room to rest, and the queen mother will ask the cook to make something for you to eat later."

Yin Sheng thanked the imperial concubine again and again, and then hurriedly ran back to his bedroom. After entering, he took off his clothes and looked at the wounds on his back in two mirrors, which were all coarse red marks, but there was no bleeding.

It's fine that there is no bleeding. In fact, Yin Sheng also knew that the whip of the imperial concubine was bought from other countries, and it hurt to hit people, but it would not bleed, and the red mark would disappear soon, so he could not sue. But how dare he sue, Huan'er is still so young now, he must listen to the imperial concubine very, very much, in order to ensure Huan'er's safety.

Yin Sheng put on his clothes, walked to the bed and sat down, and when the hot pain behind him passed, he took out the book left for him from under the bed and read it, as if in this way, he could forget the pain on his body.

*

After Qingdi left the palace, he was extremely depressed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yin Sheng was a little pitiful, obviously a child, but living in the deep palace and being exposed to so many dirty things...... Another point is that judging from the old emperor's favor for Concubine Li, and doing such a thing, the old emperor should not be a good emperor.

After returning home, Qingdi told Chu Yaocen what she had seen and heard in the palace, and Chu Yaocen listened to it, pondered for a long time, and said, "The prince took you to Concubine Li's palace to see those things, it has no ulterior intentions." ”

Qingdi was a little puzzled, and said, "What is his intention?" ”

"It seems that he inadvertently took you to see the old emperor's favor for Concubine Li, but he told you a lot of words about the old emperor's favor for Concubine Li, didn't he remind us that when we rebel in the future, we can use the old emperor's mediocrity and favor the demon concubine?"

Qingdi listened to Chu Yaocen's words, only when he was amused, he said: "Where do you need to use what banner, you don't know, when I saw him today, I said less than ten words, coughed no less than fifty times, and finally seemed to have hemoptysis, I think the old emperor will not survive this year." ”

Chu Yaocen listened, held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "This year? When do you think he will die? ”

Qingdi thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, I can't see it." ”

"You must not have read the medical book I gave you, right?" Chu Yaocen patted her head dotingly, and said, "According to my plan, it is best for the old emperor to die this summer, and at this time I should be able to deploy everything and prepare to do it." ”

Qingdi nodded, but she didn't know when the old emperor would die.

"Moreover, the crown prince, who was completely ignored by us before, does not seem to be a really worry-free person, even if he is completely dependent on the imperial concubine, it is very likely to become a threatening force." Chu Yaocen twisted his brows, and when he talked about Yin Sheng, he seemed a little worried.

Qingdi didn't know why, blinked his eyes and said, "Yin Sheng is just a child, where did you see that he is a threat?" ”

"What he said to you today made me feel a little bit bad." Chu Yaocen narrowed his eyes and said, "The prince's horse wash is finished, right?" Visit him tomorrow. ”

Qingdi nodded, then suddenly pointed to himself and asked, "Am I going alone?" ”

"Yes, I'd better not walk around with Fu Wan, so as not to be noticed by a few princes, and once they remember that this prince is still a threat, I estimate that the prince will be in danger. It's not easy for you to get their attention when you go. Chu Yaocen said to her: "Last time, you said that I looked for you after Fu Fu and asked you some things, so I vaguely felt that the prince was bound to do something in the future." Royal children, it's not easy. ”

Qingdi pondered for a long time and nodded.

The next day, Qingdi went to visit Fuwan, and after Fuwan welcomed Qingdi to the main hall of Fuzhong, he smiled and said: "I thought that Mrs. would definitely come, but I didn't expect to come so early, sit down quickly, let's have a good chat." ”

Qingdi saw that Fu finished getting straight to the topic, so he didn't have much politeness, and asked: "Lord Fu, yesterday I was recruited into the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly brought me to Concubine Li's palace, and also told me a lot of ridiculous things that His Majesty did to favor Concubine Li, Lord Fu is the prince's husband, I must know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do, right?" ”

Fu Wan looked at Qingdi with a smile, and after a while, he slowly replied to her: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a child after all, what he shares with his wife, maybe he just thinks it's interesting." ”

Qingdi twisted his brows and said, "Is that so?" ”

"Maybe it's not ......" Fu Wan actually changed his words again, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the sun, and said: "Madame is really here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also coming to my mansion today, there are some things, and then we can talk about it together." ”

Fu Wan is the prince's husband, and the prince should come to visit him. Qingdi thought about it and nodded.

At noon, someone in the palace sent the prince over, and Fu Wan got up and went out to greet him, Qingdi was going to follow, but Fu Wan said: "Young Mrs. Chu, you go to avoid it first, go to the study and wait for us, we will go over in a while." ”

Qingdi was stunned for a moment, why did she tell her to avoid it? However, while talking, Fu Wan had already gone out, and Qingdi couldn't ask more, so he listened to his words and followed his subordinates to the study first.

After a while, Fu Wan took the prince to the study, and when he entered, he closed the door from the inside, Qing Di felt very strange, and asked Fu Wan, "Lord Fu, why do you have to act so sneakily?" ”
