Chapter 3 The cowardly and courageous Cao Huachun
To put it bluntly, it was his cheap brother who was stimulated and wanted to pass on the throne to himself, but he was known by the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian and wanted to kill himself.
Nine thousand years old is Wei Zhongxian, and this Fengsheng lady is the famous Hakka.
The Hakka family was originally a peasant woman in Hebei, but because she was rich and could observe words and feelings, she was selected to enter the palace to become the wet nurse of her cheap brother.
Zhu Youxiao's biological mother died early when he was a child, and his adoptive mother Li Kangfei, who took care of him, didn't care about him, but just used him as a bargaining chip to make profits for herself. On the contrary, it was the Hakka family who took careful care of Zhu Youxiao, filling Zhu Youxiao's lack of maternal love.
After getting along for a long time, Zhu Youxiao became dependent on the Hakka family, and even if the minister made several remarks, he did not move the Hakka out of the palace. And the Hakka family also relied on the emperor to be inseparable from himself, and he was powerful in the harem, and even the queen did not take it seriously, and regarded herself as the queen mother.
Now that the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian have joined forces, and their power is monstrous, it is no wonder that a little Gonggong Liu dares to bully himself, His Royal Highness King Xin.
You must know that countless bigwigs of the Donglin Party were killed by the two of them, and he is now undoubtedly a novice player challenging the ultimate boss, and he is a dog.
Zhu Youzhen wanted to cry without tears.
My ideal is to be a good prince, to travel in the mountains and rivers on weekdays, and it is best to go to the legendary Qinglou to exchange feelings with the young ladies, is this too much? Is this excessive?
But now it seems that it is difficult to live well, let alone pleasure.
Seeing His Royal Highness King Xin's loveless appearance, Cao Huachun cautiously continued: "Now it is rumored in the palace that the early death of the prince was the work of Mrs. Fengsheng and Jiu Qian. The prince died early, and the queen couldn't afford to be sick, but now in the harem, Mrs. Fengsheng covers the sky with one hand, so a eunuch like Gonggong Liu dares to treat you so harshly. ”
Even the prince dared to do it?
So their own prince, do they dare to do it? Zhu Youzhen was not at all sure in his heart at this time.
It seems that if you don't solve the threat of the Hakka first, you don't want to be your own free prince comfortably.
Just when Zhu Youzhen was thinking wildly, the door was directly pushed open from the outside.
The sunlight slowly dimmed, and a dark wind rolled up in the door, and an old eunuch who looked as thin as a sugar cane walked in, his red round-necked robe was loosely worn on his body, and the whole person was as gloomy as a zombie.
Xiao Lizi followed closely, glanced at Zhu Youzhen with a weak heart, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Don't think about it, this kid must have defected.
Seeing the old eunuch come in, Cao Huachun hurriedly stood up respectfully.
"Father-in-law Liu, why did you come all of a sudden?"
Gonggong Liu glanced at Cao Huachun expressionlessly, snorted coldly, and said in a sharp voice: "Our family is the steward eunuch of this Qingong Palace, why can't we come?" ”
Cao Huachun hurriedly nodded and said, "What my father-in-law said is true." ”
Seeing that Cao Huachun was so well-behaved, Gonggong Liu simply bypassed him directly, walked in front of Zhu Youzhen, and said in a cold tone: "Lord Wang, I heard that you are unwell." ”
Zhu Youzhen can see that even if he is a fool, this Liu Gonggong is not good.
From the chaotic memory, the reason why I am so weak is because this old guy made a ghost.
Before Zhu Youzhen could speak, Cao Huachun hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Liu, the prince's high fever has not gone away, and it has been three days." When I woke up today, I actually talked nonsense, and the slave was worried, otherwise I would better ask the doctor to come and have a look. ”
Gonggong Liu said coldly: "Didn't you say it? King Xin is the emperor's younger brother, so naturally he is blessed by the gods and Buddhas, so why panic. Don't you take what our family says seriously? ”
The little Li Zi in the back saw that Gonggong Liu was angry, lest he miss the opportunity to perform, "Gonggong Liu, the little ones are all keeping in mind your old man's instructions." It's all this Cao Huachun, who has been clamoring to go to the Tai Hospital, and the little ones have been persuaded for a long time, but they can't be persuaded anymore. If you hadn't grown old quickly, he would have gone on his own. ”
When Gonggong Liu heard this, his face became even more gloomy, and his cloudy eyes stared at Cao Huachun, which made people feel frightened.
"What Xiao Lizi said is true?"
The palace maid who was waiting next to her looked at the weak Zhu Youzhen, and then thought of Gonggong Liu's methods, not only shuddered, but all nodded silently.
Zhu Youzhen looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of iniquity is this? Others are all children of destiny, but they are sick and sick, and everyone betrays their relatives.
"Gonggong Liu, His Royal Highness King Xin has a high fever for a few days, and it is useless to be an immortal if it drags on any longer. The minion begs you, let the Imperial Doctor take a look. ”
Cao Huachun was stabbed in the back by Xiao Lizi, and in a panic, he could only kneel on the ground, his face full of pleading.
"What a slave, you tell right and wrong, spread rumors and make trouble, our family sees that you have itchy skin."
Gonggong Liu was unmoved, and looked at the palace people around him: "Do you also think that what Cao Huachun said is right?" ”
The palace people in the hall all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Gonggong Liu glanced at Zhu Youzhen next to him, and saw that he didn't make a sound as usual, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Cao Huachun, we look at the Qin Palace, you don't know the most about current affairs. Even His Royal Highness King Xinwang also knows that as the emperor's younger brother, he needs to be polite and low-key, and he is also respectful to our family on weekdays. You are so strong, do you really think that His Royal Highness the King will accept your affection, or do you deliberately bully our family? ”
After saying this, Gonggong Liu's smile was full of eerie killing intent.
Cao Huachun was terrified in his heart, but thinking that King Xin's nonsense was obviously seriously ill, he still mustered up his courage, "Gonggong Liu, you are the steward eunuch of the Qingong Palace, the prince is sick and weak, but you have not summoned the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, isn't this putting the prince to death?" ”
"Something that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead dares to talk such nonsense."
Gonggong Liu walked forward quickly and slapped Cao Huachun twice, blood dripping down the corners of his mouth, and the whole bedroom was extremely quiet for a moment.
"You and I don't know that the emperor is weak and childless, and Mrs. Fengsheng is worried that our prince will become the emperor's younger brother, so let you try your best to kill our prince."
Cao Huachun's words were shouted almost word by word, like a thunderclap, which frightened Gonggong Liu's body, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard also looked over and listened carefully.
"Bold."
Gonggong Liu's face was gloomy, but he was afraid in his heart.
Murdering the prince is a felony, and even ten lives are not enough to kill. But all this is on the orders of the Holy Lady, and if she doesn't do it, she will die.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Huachun, and said angrily: "Cao Huachun, you dare to frame our family." Come, drag him out for me, and beat him with fifty rods. ”
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were very afraid of Gonggong Liu and did not dare to dissuade him at all.
Gonggong Liu's cronies and eunuchs broke in one after another, and they didn't care about Zhu Youzhen next to him, so they restrained Cao Huachun's arm.
"Cao Huachun, you offended your godfather today, if I don't beat you to death later, we will all follow your surname."
Several eunuchs said coldly, their faces full of cruelty.
