Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Anger of the Three Princes
The third prince and the fifth prince forced themselves to rub off two layers of skin before they felt that they didn't smell of bird feces on their bodies, but they still felt that they were not clean.
"Catch me, catch one when you see one, and don't let one go." The third prince had a gloomy face, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. "I'm going to skin them alive."
Cao Yi hunched his waist and said cautiously: "The slave has already called someone to arrest it, don't worry, you will definitely not let any of them go." "Cao Yi is the personal eunuch of the three princes, and he knows the temperament of the three princes. This time, the three princes were pulled by a group of sparrows and crows, which made the three princes lose face, and the three princes will definitely not give up. "Don't be angry."
The third prince suddenly thought of something, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Have you found Huaqing?" ”
At the mention of Huaqing, Cao Yi's body instantly became stiff. He stubbornly said: "If you go back to Your Highness, I didn't find it." ”
With a bang, the third prince grabbed the tea cup in his hand and smashed it on the ground in front of Cao Yi. Fragments of the teacup splashed onto Cao Yi's face, cutting his face.
Cao Yi immediately knelt down, his body trembling slightly and begging for mercy: "Your Highness forgive your sins!" ”
"I can't find anyone, rice bucket!" At this time, the three princes were gloomy and distorted, and they were not at all as upright and kind as they were seen on weekdays.
"The slaves and maids secretly searched all the palaces, and asked a lot of people, but they all said that they didn't see the painting."
"Has he still evaporated from the world?" The third prince sneered.
"Your Highness, the slave suspects that Huaqing is no longer there." Cao Yi said the guess in his heart.
"Gone?"
"The slave guessed that Huaqing should have committed suicide by throwing herself into a well." Cao Yi said, "I have looked for death before painting Qing. Moreover, it is impossible for a person to disappear from the palace out of thin air, there is only one possibility, and that is that he is gone. ”
The third prince felt that Cao Yi's words made some sense. He raised his eyebrows and said, "To live to see people, to die to see corpses." Even if he commits suicide by throwing himself into a well, the main hall will see his corpse. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave maid has sent people to search the various wells in the palace, and I think we will soon be able to find the body of Huaqing." Cao Yi saw that the third prince's face softened a little, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The third prince nodded his head, and then he raised his hand towards Cao Yi.
Cao Yi hurriedly got up: "Your Highness Xie." He looked at the third prince with a hesitant expression.
Seeing his expression of wanting to speak, the third prince said with some displeasure: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”
Cao Yi reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you will bathe and fasting from tomorrow, and you will copy Buddhist scriptures for the first queen, haven't you forgotten?" ”
The third prince really forgot. He said impatiently, "This temple knows. ”
Cao Yi hesitated, and said to the third prince again: "Your Highness, during the death of the first queen, you had better ...... It's better not to ...... anymore beat someone, otherwise the emperor knows and will definitely punish you. ”
The third prince stared at Cao Yi gloomily, and Cao Yi's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Royal Highness, it's not that the slave and maid are talkative, but ......" Cao Yi was looked at by the third prince in a cold sweat, "The emperor respects the first queen very much, if something happens during the death of the first queen, the emperor will definitely be furious." ”
The third prince retracted his fierce eyes, and said with an unhappy face: "This palace is not so stupid to anger my father at this time. ”
When Cao Yi heard this, he quickly raised his hand and slapped himself: "The slave is too talkative." ”
The third prince waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"What else?"
"Your Royal Highness, on the death day of the first queen last year, the five princes found relics to present to the emperor, so that the emperor's dragon heart was happy, and this year I am afraid that the five princes have found something good. The Six Princes are afraid that this is the same. Although Cao Yi was afraid of the three princes, he was loyal to the three princes, and he was very considerate of the three princes, "You will leave the palace next year to open the palace, if you please the emperor before opening the palace, maybe the emperor will reward you with a good fief next year." ”
The three princes love to hear what he said, and it also speaks to the hearts of the three princes.
"You're right, this palace should be preparing for next year's palace to be crowned king."
"Your Highness, since ancient times, Jiangnan has been rich, outstanding people, and beauties." Cao Yiyan said, "Although there is a rebellion in Yangzhou now, but next year, the rebellion in Yangzhou will be put down, why don't you go to Yangzhou?" ”
When the third prince heard this, his originally gloomy eyes instantly burst into light.
"Yangzhou is a good place." As he spoke, he stood up excitedly, "The main hall will go to the mother concubine and ask the mother concubine to help the mother palace get Yangzhou." After saying that, he hurried to Fuyang Palace.
As soon as he walked out of Xingde Palace, he saw Sun Kui's apprentice Sun Doudou coming.
When Sun Doudou saw the third prince, he immediately laughed. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the third prince: "The slave has seen the third highness. ”
To Sun Doudou, the three princes are polite.
"Little grandpa, please get up."
"Your Highness Xie San."
"Father is looking for me?"
"Your Highness, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study."
The third prince asked, "What is the matter with my father's search for me?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
The third prince also knew that he couldn't ask the truth from Sun Doudou, so he didn't ask about it again, but chatted with Sun Doudou like gossip.
Sun Doudou bowed his waist slightly, answering the questions of the three princes with a respectful smile.
The third prince was polite to Sun Kui and his apprentices, not trying to buy them. He knew very well that the people who were serving around Emperor Wu of Zhou could not be co-opted, otherwise he would anger Emperor Wu of Zhou. He was polite to them because they were the people who served by Emperor Wu of Zhou's side.
Not only the three princes, but also other people in the palace, as well as the ministers, were polite to their masters and apprentices, and they didn't dare to offend easily.
After a while, the third prince and Sun Doudou came to the imperial study.
Sun Doudou said, "Third Highness, you can go in directly." ”
The third prince glanced at Cao Yi before leaving, and Cao Yi understood.
When the third prince walked into the imperial study, Cao Yi took out a money bag from his arms and gave it to Sun Doudou.
Sun Doudou refused twice, and finally couldn't resist Cao Yi's insistence, so he could only accept it.
Cao Yi did not ask Sun Doudou about the affairs of the imperial study, but talked about some inconsequential things.
The third prince walked into the imperial study and respectfully saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou. Don't look at the sinister and vicious appearance of the third prince in Xingde Palace, when facing Emperor Wu of Zhou, he is as cautious as Cao Yi.
When all the princes faced Emperor Wu of Zhou, they would be afraid. Moreover, the third prince had been beaten severely by Emperor Wu of Zhou, which made him even more afraid of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
"What are you sending people to catch birds?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "Grab it and eat it?" ”
Although Emperor Wu Zhou's tone sounded calm, it made the third prince's scalp tingle. He hurriedly knelt down: "Erchen doesn't want to eat, but ......" Thinking of what happened in Changqin Hall before, the face of the third prince was very good, "Erchen was covered in bird by those birds, and Erchen is not ......"
"Want to kill those birds to vent your anger?" Emperor Wu Zhou's tone suddenly cooled, "What day is tomorrow?" ”
When the third prince heard this, he instantly remembered that tomorrow he was going to bathe and fast, and copy Buddhist scriptures for the first queen. He hunted birds and birds before copying Buddhist scriptures, which was a big taboo.
His face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of panic.
"Father, the son is guilty. Erchen was dizzy by those birds, so he thought...... Ask your father for forgiveness. "He had forgotten something so important.
Emperor Wu of Zhou said coldly: "Get out." ”
"Son's resignation!" The third prince hurriedly got up and left.
Cao Yi was guarding the door of the imperial study, and when he saw the third prince come out with a frightened face, his heart sank suddenly.
His Royal Highness was reprimanded by the emperor?
The third prince didn't dare to stay at the door of the imperial study for a long time, so he left in a hurry. Cao Yi hurriedly chased after him.
After walking for a while, the third prince suddenly stopped and kicked Cao Yi.
Cao Yi knelt on the ground: "Your Highness is angry." ”
"Why didn't you stop the main hall from hunting birds and birds just now, don't you know that you can't see blood during the death of the first queen?"
Cao Yi was aggrieved, he hinted at it, but the third prince didn't hear it. Besides, the third prince was angry, and he didn't dare to say it directly.
"The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, please punish Your Highness."
The third prince knew in his heart that he didn't blame Cao Yi for not reminding him, but he could only anger Cao Yi.
"Let them stop and stop hunting birds."
"Slave and maid, go now."
The third prince did not return to Xingde Palace, but went to Fuyang Palace to find his mother, Concubine Shufei.
In the imperial study, Sun Kui secretly glanced at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and saw that Emperor Wu Zhou's face was not very good-looking, thinking that Emperor Wu of Zhou was still angry with the third prince. He hesitated, but finally decided not to speak for the third prince.
More than an hour ago, the emperor and the tenth highness were fighting. More than an hour later, the emperor reprimanded the three princes with a cold face. That's a big gap.
