"Slave...... The body of the slave ......" eunuch trembled even more, not to mention a complete sentence, even the word "slave and maid" could not be spoken.

"What did the third brother do to you to make you so frightened?" Zhao Yao squatted down and asked with concern and confusion, "What about the third brother beating you?" ”

"I didn't ...... Not...... Three...... Three ......"

Zhao Yao saw the cold sweat on the forehead and face of the eunuch in front of him, and it fell down in large pieces.

"What about the third brother abusing you?"

The eunuch stood up abruptly, and hurriedly took a few steps back, widening the distance between him and Zhao Yao. His face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and his lips trembled: "Your Highness, Your Highness, slaves, slaves and maids still have something to do, so I will leave first." After speaking, he ran away from Zhao Yao as if fleeing for his life.

With a bang, the eunuch ran too quickly and didn't pay attention to the road under his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground fiercely. Zhao Yao was just about to walk over to help him up, but he rolled forward. After a while, his figure disappeared in front of Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with him?" Tongxi asked in surprise, "Why is he afraid of being like this, as if Your Highness is going to eat him?" ”

"He's not afraid of me, but of the third brother." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "The third brother must have done something to him, otherwise he wouldn't have trembled with fear when he heard the third brother." ”

"His Royal Highness must have beaten him." Tongxi thought of the frightened appearance of the eunuch just now, and a touch of sympathy rose in his heart, "We are eunuchs, and when we meet a bad master, we will either beat or scold." The three princes have a domineering temperament, and when they get angry, they will definitely whip the eunuchs who are waiting, and maybe the three highnesses will also take pleasure in abusing the eunuchs and palace maids. The eunuch just now must have been often abused and beaten by the three princes. ”

In the palace, the lives of these eunuchs are the least valuable, and it is common for them to be beaten and scolded. Even if he was killed, no one cared. In the eyes of many masters, they are not human.

Fortunately, he met His Highness. His Highness was very kind to them and never beat or scolded them. In the eyes of His Highness, they are human.

"Is the third brother such a person?" Zhao Yao pinched his chin and said, "Although the third brother is a little domineering, he is not arrogant enough to abuse the people who serve around him at will." If you let your father know, the third brother won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Your Highness, you don't know your heart." Tongxi has always disliked the three princes and others who are high-ranking people, as if in their eyes, only people from famous families are people, and everyone else is not people. "The third prince may be a person who takes pleasure in abusing eunuchs or palace maids in private."

"Is the third brother so perverted?" The word pervert was learned by Zhao Yao from Zhao Yao in his dream.

"Your Highness, what do you mean to be perverted?"

"It's the meaning that poultry meat is inferior."

"The three princes must be perverted." Tongxi said very firmly.

"Your Highness, why don't you go and investigate?"

"Investigate the third brother?"

Tongxi nodded: "Investigate whether the Third Highness is a pervert." ”

"Tongxi, are you disgusted with life?"

Tongxi didn't react for a while, and said with a blank face: "Your Highness, the slave and maid haven't lived enough, how can they be long-lived?" ”

"When you go to investigate the third brother, you're looking for death." Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi and said angrily, "Third brother is something we can provoke?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Tongxi remembered that the three princes were not something they could provoke.

"Your Highness, didn't the eunuch just now care?"

"What does he have to do with us, and why should we care about him?" Although Zhao Yao was a little curious about what happened to the eunuch just now, he wouldn't delve into it, "He is the third brother's person, not mine." If you were bullied by the third brother, then I would definitely seek justice for you. "He didn't have a heart to help everyone. He is not a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

"That's what Your Highness said." Tongxi is usually not a well-meaning person, nor is he a nosy person. It's just that at that moment just now, he felt the same way, because he was often bullied before he met Zhao Yao. The one who bullied him was not the master, but the eunuch.

In this palace, in addition to the master and the eunuchs, even the eunuchs bullied the eunuchs. Tongxi met Zhao Yao on the day he was about to die. At that time, he was pressed to the ground and beaten by several eunuchs, and he only had one breath left. If it weren't for Zhao Yao picking him up and bringing him back to the Kunde Palace, he would have died.

"I know that you sympathize with him, there is nothing wrong with sympathy, it means that you are still a person, but sympathy is so sympathetic that if you want to help someone, you must first see if you yourself have the ability to help." Zhao Yao said seriously, "Also, while helping others, you must first ensure your own safety, and don't sacrifice yourself to help others." ”

Tongxi listened, and his nose was slightly sour. He nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave has remembered His Highness's words. "In His Highness's heart, he is human.

"Let's go back." The third brother is really not something they can provoke.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Yao suddenly remembered something very important, and hurriedly said: "Hurry back, I still have an important matter to do." And he ran.

"Your Highness, it's dark, you watch the road and be careful of falling." Tongxi carried the lantern and hurriedly chased after it.

In the Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren were embroidering. The five princesses followed them seriously.

"Mother concubine, second mother concubine, third mother concubine, fifth sister, I'm back." Zhao Yao raised his hands, then put them down, and bowed to Liang Zhaoyi and them ninety degrees. "Mother, I have something to do, I'll go to the study first." After speaking, a gust of wind disappeared from Liang Zhaoyi's eyes.

Yu Meiren smiled: "Yaoyao, what's the matter, it's all over the place?" ”

Liang Zhaoyi smiled: "Leave him alone." ”

Pan Cairen said with some pity: "I also want to ask Yao Yao what happened when he went to pick up the king." ”

The fifth princess stopped the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I'll go and call the tenth brother out and let him talk to us." ”

As soon as she stood up, she was pulled by the poppy.

"You keep me well and finish embroidering the work in your hands."

"Mother, I'll call the tenth brother ......"

"Yao Yao said that he had something, so let's not disturb him." The poppy said to the fifth princess with a straight face, "You embroider it for me." ”

The fifth princess pouted, and reluctantly continued to embroider.

In the study, Zhao Yao took a quill pen on rice paper and drew the stirrups he saw in his dream.

Tongxi brought a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness, you take a sip of tea first."

"I'll drink it later."

"Your Highness, what are you doing with the hoop?" Tongxi asked curiously, "Is the important thing you said is to draw an iron hoop?" ”

Zhao Yao just finished drawing a stirrup, put down the quill in his hand, took the teacup from Tongxi's hand, first lowered his head and took a few sips, and then said: "Let me tell you, this is not an ordinary iron ring. ”

"But it looks like an ordinary hoop."

Zhao Yao finished his tea and continued to draw another stirrup. After he finished drawing, he said to Tongxi again: "Do you know where I want to use this pair of hoops?" ”

"Your Highness, do you want to use it as a weapon?" Hold the weapon in your hand.

Zhao Yao: "...... No, I'm going to use it on a horse. “

"On horses?" Tongxi was confused when he heard this, and then he guessed, "Your Highness, are you going to hang it around the horse's neck?" ”

"Of course not, you'll find out in two days." Zhao Yao handed the drawn stirrups to Tongxi and explained to him, "You go to Shang Fangling tomorrow and let them make this team of iron rings." "Also, let them give the rings a sturdy belt."

Tongxi took the drawing paper, carefully folded it and put it in his arms.

"Your Highness, how long should the belt be, how many should you have?"

"For now, I need a belt, five feet." If the belt is long, he can also cut it shorter.

"Your Highness, do you want to make a pair of iron rings, do you want to make a few more pairs?"

"Let's make a pair first." Zhao Yao said, "If I do too much, Shang Fangling will definitely let me ask my father for an order." "Iron is a precious thing and cannot be used freely.

"After sending His Royal Highness to Wende Hall tomorrow morning, the slave and maid will go to Shang Fangling." Tongxi said, "Just make a pair of iron rings, and it will be done soon." ”

"Let them be ready by noon so I can use them after school." Zhao Yao stood up and walked outside the study, "Go find the concubines and tell them about picking up the second brother." ”

Liang Zhaoyi and the others saw Zhao Yao coming over so quickly, and hurriedly asked him, "Have you done your thing?" ”

"It's done, I'll tell you about picking up the second brother in the afternoon."

"Say it quickly." The fifth princess couldn't wait to urge.

Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren both stopped the needlework in their hands and put on a deferential appearance.

Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi and them in great detail what happened when they left the palace.

After listening to Liang Zhaoyi, they all had shocked expressions.

Seeing that it was not too early, Liang Zhaoyi asked the poppies and the others to go back to rest, and told them not to talk about what they had just heard outside.

The poppies were busy saying that they would never say anything.

When the poppies left, Liang Zhaoyi hurriedly asked Zhao Yao: "What did you do in the study just now?" ”

"Mother, don't tell you yet, I'll tell you tomorrow." Zhao Yao laughed twice, "It's a good thing." ”

Seeing her son's mysterious appearance, Liang Zhaoyi had expectations in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, the mother concubine is waiting for your good things tomorrow." ”

Tongxi, who was waiting on the side, silently complained in his heart, what kind of good thing is the two iron rings.

The next day, after Tongxi sent Zhao Yao to the Wende Palace, he turned around and went to Shang Fangling.

He handed the iron rings painted by Zhao Yao to Shang Fangling's craftsmen, "His Royal Highness the Tenth will use this pair of iron rings at noon, can you do it before noon?" ”

The craftsman said, "I'll make it for you in a moment." ”

Before noon, the craftsman made the iron ring that Zhao Yao needed, and according to Zhao Yao's instructions, he was equipped with a very strong belt.

After school at noon, Zhao Yao did not rush back to the Kunde Palace, but went to the racecourse first and led the black jade to the Kunde Palace. Agni wanted to go with him, but Zhao Yao refused. For this reason, the fire gave birth to a great breath.
