Chapter 313: The Concubine Who Is Unkind to Her Mother (7)
When the fourth prince returned to Annan Palace from school that day, the whole person was depressed, and even Xiao Bian Mu came to his feet to play with him, he was a little absent-minded, not as elated as before.
Even a small pet couldn't make him happy, and it was clear that what had happened to him was not an ordinary little thing.
An Nan asked him, "Why are you so unhappy?" ”
The fourth prince frowned, he was not very afraid of An Nan now, because An Nan had never beaten and scolded him in the past few months, and he couldn't have been better to him, so he now also had the desire to confide in An Nan: "Gu Fuzi praised my painting very well today, and the eldest prince came to me for trouble if he was not convinced...... Everyone else is on the side of the Great Prince, and no one is helping me...... Is it because the eldest prince is favored? ”
An Nan looked at his clear and innocent eyes, even if he didn't want him to experience these warmth and coldness too early, but he was a prince and was destined to be different from ordinary people, father-son and brotherhood were luxuries for him, and they were unattainable.
It may be more beneficial for him to recognize the situation earlier, lest he be stupid all day long, maybe one day he will fall into the trap of others, and it is indispensable to guard against others, and covering up peace does not mean that his side is really peaceful.
So An Nan nodded and said, "Yes, your father loves the eldest prince very much, so your brothers will not offend him for you." ”
When the fourth prince heard this, his shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he sat quietly with Xiao Bian Mu in his arms, and then he suddenly asked An Nan again: "If I can also get the favor of my father, will other people help me?" ”
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether it will be beneficial to them after helping you, things are not absolute, if they help you, it will damage their own interests, then even if you have to favor them, they will not be on your side; If they help you to their advantage, then they are likely to help you......"
An Nan looked at the fourth prince with a serious little face, and said lightly, and then she quickly added, "But even if they help you, they will probably stab you in the back again when they turn around." With the most tempting thing hanging in front of you, it is unlikely that you will live in harmony, and you brothers are destined to fight. ”
When the fourth prince heard An Nan's words, his eyes widened in surprise, obviously he didn't expect to hear such "rebellious" words from An Nan's mouth, he stammered: "But, doesn't my father often praise the eldest prince and the second prince for their brothers, friends and brothers?" The concubines in the other palaces also said that let our brothers get along well......"
An Nan smiled softly at him and said, "Silly boy, your brothers know what your father wants to see them like, so they can behave like that, but in fact, they don't know what hatred is like in private!" And your concubines, all of them are duplicitous, if you really believe their words, then you are really being sold and helping to count the money. ”
The fourth prince's eyes were straight, his expression was dazed and at a loss, An Nan's words almost shattered his belief, making him vaguely feel that the truth was what his mother said, there was no such thing as a brother, a friend, and a brother......
He didn't want to believe his mother's words, but what happened today made him have to believe it.
An Nan took the opportunity to go through the various intrigues and tricks in the palace with the four princes, including what means his father's concubines would use to compete for favor, and how they would deal with pregnant opponents...... What are the transfer of flowers and trees, planting and framing, concealing the world, making something out of nothing, killing people with a knife, robbing while the fire is burning, counter-plotting, bitter meat scheme, beauty scheme......
The concubines are all masters of using Sun Tzu's art of war, and the thirty-six strategies are staged in turn, and the battle in the palace is no less cruel than the battlefield, and I don't know how many people died in the hands of those palace concubines who seemed to be powerless.
The fourth prince was frightened by the bloody and cruel conspiracy that An Nan said in his words, his eyes were straight, and he was dizzy when he went back to his own dormitory.
An Nan knew that he was already timid, and he was afraid that he would be stupid by his words, so he hurriedly remedied: "You don't have to worry too much, as long as you stay neutral and don't get involved in the affairs of your brothers, then any turmoil won't involve you...... But you have to be careful not to be the 'knife' in 'borrowing a knife to kill', our mother and son are not favored, and your grandfather is far away, so as long as your head is clear, then even if they fight fiercely, it's none of our business. ”
The fourth prince nodded hurriedly and replied obediently: "I am honest and will not get involved in their affairs!" ”
An Nan touched his head with satisfaction and said, "That's good!" Okay, the eldest prince bullied you today, right? Don't worry, your mother and I will help you get justice, you just wait for the eldest prince to make a fool of yourself! ”
The fourth prince's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Can you help me get revenge? ”
"Yes! Just wait and see tomorrow! An Nan promised with a smile, "But no matter what happens to the eldest prince tomorrow, you have to act as if you don't know who did it, this is our secret, you will keep it secret, right?" ”
"Uh-huh!" The fourth prince nodded with bright eyes, and covered his mouth, obviously glad that An Nan would help him take revenge.
In the dead of night, except for the people on duty in the palace, almost everyone was asleep, and everywhere was quiet, An Nan wore dark night clothes, covered his face, and quietly sneaked to the East Fifth Institute where the eldest prince lived.
An Nan's martial arts had been perfected during the months of confinement, so she easily avoided the inspection of the Ouchi guards and entered the palace of the eldest prince without any obstacles.
She first took out the drug to stun the eunuch of the Great Prince's Vigil Palace, and then walked to the Great Prince's bed and took out another bottle.
The eldest prince is sleeping soundly, he is almost ten years old this year, he already has the handsome appearance of a young man, his face is tender and handsome, his facial features are exquisite, even if his eyes are closed, he is very beautiful, he is a rare little beautiful boy, no wonder the emperor loves him so much!
Such a skin-like child, even if he is a straw bag, he is also likable, not to mention that he is also very smart, it is said that he was praised by the masters all day long in the Shangshu, and his academic performance is among the best, and the emperor also praised him for his intelligence and dexterity.
But An Nan was not fooled by his beautiful skin, this kid had to pay a price for bullying her cheap son!
She poured a little potion into her handkerchief, and then gently wiped it on the lips of the eldest prince, along with the philtrum, chin, and corners of the mouth, and then stopped.
It takes seven or eight hours for the effect of this potion to appear, and then it is the time period when the eldest prince is in the study room, and when the effect of the medicine occurs, everyone can see it clearly, I don't know if he can withstand the effect of the medicine at that time?
