Chapter 37: The Thirteenth Prince was thrown into the fish pond by the little proton to feed the fish
The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were both startled when they saw someone running out, but they were relieved when they saw that it was the short and stout Little Nine who could hardly walk steadily.
The Fourteenth Prince saw that the little girl was really cute and had a chubby face. He said in a kind tone, "Xiaojiu, this is a matter between us and the Fifteenth Prince. Go and have fun. Don't meddle in other people's business."
The Thirteenth Prince laughed maliciously, "Xiaojiu, you haven't seen your father for a long time, right? Does your father still remember you? You still want to manage others, take care of yourself first."
The Fourteenth Prince saw the Thirteenth Prince laughing happily, then looked at the cute little girl and felt that this seemed a little bit bad.
But he never had any opinion of his own, and following the Thirteenth Prince since he was a child, he was used to doing whatever the Thirteenth Prince did. Although he felt it was inappropriate, he still grinned and laughed foolishly in the end.
Ji Jinyou snorted: "Nonsense, I just saw the emperor this morning, and he wanted to hug me, but I refused."
The Thirteenth Prince glanced at the Fourteenth Prince, and this time he burst into laughter, "Xiaojiu, you are crazy about wanting to see your father, how dare you not let your father hold you? You are looking forward to it, right?"
Ji Jinyou snorted: "I just didn't give in. If you don't believe me, go ask Father yourself."
The Thirteenth Prince was ten years old, and the Fourteenth Prince was nine years old. They both still had the mentality of children. All they did all day was eat and play, and they never paid attention to the affairs of the harem.
They are alone
Yi
Since they lived in Jingming Palace, their mother did not remember to inform them of the recent changes in the palace in a timely manner, so their news was very delayed.
The two only remembered that at the previous palace banquet, Xiaojiu and her unfavored mother sat in the corner, and the emperor never called Xiaojiu to come over.
They had no idea that Youyou had been frequently going in and out of Chongde Hall, Fengyi Palace, Furong Palace, and Mingzhu Palace in the past few days, and that the situation in the harem had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Thirteenth Prince was laughing so hard that he fell backwards, and the Fourteenth Prince was also grinning foolishly beside him.
"Hey, I'm talking to you."
"Hey, could you please stop laughing?"
Ji Jinyou called out twice, but the two of them pretended not to hear and continued laughing.
Seeing her young master being ridiculed first and then ignored, Jin Xing was a little angry, but she was just a servant and could not say anything to defend her young master.
He had no choice but to squat down, lean over to the little girl's ear, and whispered, "Young Master, let's go back and ignore them."
"Youyou won't leave." Ji Jinyou shook his head.
Then I asked in my heart: [Tong, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes are so bad, what will be their final outcome? ]
What kind of ending? What does this mean? Why does it sound weird?
The thirteenth and fourteenth princes felt that there was something wrong with what Xiaojiu said, but the two calm-minded princes did not take it too seriously. They just laughed like ducks whose funny points were pressed.
[Okay, Youzi, give me some time, let me look through the character synopsis. ]
The system heard the call and immediately started working. After flipping through the system for a while, it played a guessing game with Youyou out of habit: [Youyou, guess how they both died?]
What, dead? Who? The two of them?
Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes stopped laughing. They turned their heads and looked around, trying to find the man who was talking, but after looking around, they didn't see anyone.
Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard Xiaojiu talking. No, no, no, Xiaojiu didn't say that, because her mouth was closed.
[How did they die?] Ji Jinyou was not surprised at all when the system said that they both died in the end.
The Empress, the Imperial Concubine, my seven or eight sisters, and my mother, such good people all died in the end. With such bad tempers, it would be strange if they didn't kill themselves in the end.
The system narrated: [The original plot was written like this: the Thirteenth Prince was stupid and evil, and was repeatedly instigated by others to frame Little Proton, and was thrown into the fish pond that Little Proton raised to feed the fish.]
Ji Jinyou was shocked: [Feeding the fish? What kind of fish eats people? ]
The thirteenth and fourteenth princes were still racking their brains, trying to find the man who spoke. They were also shocked when they heard what he said. Yes, what kind of fish is this? How can it eat people?
System: [Piranhas, specially raised by Little Proton. Whenever he sees an enemy he hates, he throws him into the pond. The fish rush up and eat the fish. After a while, only a pile of bones are left.]
Listening to the vivid description of the system, Ji Jinyou recalled the videos and movies about piranhas she had seen on the Internet before. She imagined the scene a little bit, and her hair stood on end. She stretched out her hands and rubbed her arms: [Was it thrown in alive? ]
System: [Of course. How can I feel relieved if I throw him away after he dies?]
Ji Jinyou asked again: [Did the medicine and rice of the little proton's followers all come from the Thirteenth Prince? ]
System: [Sorry, Youzi, it is not unlocked yet, so I can’t see it.]
When the Thirteenth Prince heard that he was eaten by a fish, he no longer had time to listen to the subsequent conversation between the two. The bloody and tragic scene emerged in his mind involuntarily. He suddenly felt horrified and shuddered uncontrollably.
He opened his mouth to ask Xiaojiu, who is the man talking to her? Why does he know these things that haven't happened yet? Is what he said true or false?
But when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not make any sound. He was so scared that he thought he was sick. His eyes were filled with fear and he covered his throat tightly with both hands.
Ji Jinyou was so angry at the two of them that he folded his arms and didn't even bother to look at them. His eyes fell on the roses that were still wet with rain, and he continued to ask: [What about the fourteenth prince? How did he die? ]
System: [The Fourteenth Prince has never had his own opinion. He was a follower of the Thirteenth Prince. Under the leadership of the Thirteenth Prince, he also did a lot of bad things. He was considered an accomplice. However, he did not live to grow up. The summary says that he died at the age of twelve.]
[Under the instigation of the Thirteenth Prince, the two of them secretly did something bad, and when it was exposed, he was tricked out by the Fourteenth Prince to take the blame.]
[He didn't understand how he died until he was dying, and he was deeply moved by his loyalty to his brother.]
Ji Jinyou: [Twelve years old, so he is nine years old this year, which means he won’t live for many more years.]
System: [At least he can still live for another three years, much better than our Youzi. ]
Does he only have three years to live? The Fourteenth Prince suddenly looked at the Thirteenth Prince with an expression of disbelief.
The Thirteenth Brother actually killed him? But, didn't the Thirteenth Brother always treat him as his own brother?
Ji Jinyou realized that the two of them suddenly stopped smiling. She turned around and saw that they both had fear on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost. She was puzzled, but did not think much about it and just thought that they were done with their seizure.
She no longer wanted to communicate with them, nor did she want to save them.
But she had to take care of Brother Fifteen. Compared with those two wicked guys who laughed at her, Brother Fifteen was much cuter. When he saw her just now, he touched her head and affectionately called her Xiaojiu.
Ji Jinyou held Jin Xing's hand and turned to leave: "Xing Xing, let's go and tell the Royal Concubine."
The little girl looked like she was going to complain, but the thirteenth and fourteenth princes were so stunned by the sudden news that they just stood there in a daze, forgetting to even stop.
They didn't react until the little girl disappeared from their sight.
The Fourteenth Prince clenched his fists tightly, stared at the Thirteenth Prince, and asked angrily, "Brother Thirteen, will you kill me in the future?"
The Fourteenth Prince was a simple-minded man, and the Thirteenth Prince often played tricks on him. He felt guilty when he heard this, because he didn't know whether he would kill him in the future.
But he knew that if something really happened and one of them had to be sacrificed, he would push Fourteenth away to save himself, because his mother had always told him that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
Looking at those eyes full of grievance, the Thirteenth Prince knew that he could not admit what he was thinking, so he immediately denied it with a dark face and turned the tables: "Why do you believe everything Xiaojiu said? Am I that kind of person? Are you asking me this because you want to break off relations with me?"
"It wasn't Xiaojiu who said that. It was that man who said that." said the Fourteenth Prince.
The two mothers had a good relationship, and they were only one year apart in age, so they played together since they were young and lived together until they moved out of their respective mothers' palaces.
He had always thought that although they were not born from the same mother, their emotional relationship was no different from that of brothers born from the same mother.
In the past, he believed whatever the Thirteenth Brother said and almost obeyed him. If he said such harsh words, he would immediately admit his mistake, take the initiative to coax him, and reconcile with him.
But this time, he did not believe his words easily, nor was he scared by his words and apologized immediately. He stared at the Thirteenth Prince for a long time, then turned around and ran away.
---
The fourteenth prince ran to his mother, Concubine Shun, and when he saw her, he didn't even bother to greet her. He just hugged her and said in a panic and aggrieved voice, "Mother, I heard someone say..."
The Fourteenth Prince opened his mouth and kept talking, but no sound came out. He was shocked and afraid, and covered his throat with both hands. He instantly thought of the Thirteenth Prince covering his throat before, and realized that he was not the only one who could not speak, and he felt a little relieved.
When Concubine Shun saw her son suddenly running over in a panic, holding his neck and smacking his lips after just one sentence, she thought he had something stuck in his throat, so she hurriedly took him to the door and examined him carefully in the sunlight: "What did you eat? Cough twice."
The fourteenth prince coughed twice and called out "mother" again. When he was back to normal, he tried to repeat what he had heard before, but after several attempts, he gave up and said, "mother, I'm fine. I just missed you and came to see you."
As he spoke, he reached out and hugged Concubine Shun, burying his face in her arms.
When he thought that he would not live for many more years and would never see his mother again, he was so sad that he burst into tears.
Concubine Shun was also a simple-minded person. When she heard what the Fourteenth Prince said, she believed it to be true. She gently patted her son on the back and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child. If your Thirteenth Prince saw you, he would laugh at you."
Hearing Concubine Shun say this, the Fourteenth Prince subconsciously wanted to explain, but after trying, it still didn't work. He wiped his tears in Concubine Shun's arms, raised his head, and forced a smile: "Mother, I'm going back. I haven't finished writing today."
"It's time to go back. You can't delay your studies." Concubine Shun took the Fourteenth Prince's hand, sent him to the door, and watched him walk away.

The Fourteenth Prince returned to Jingming Palace dejectedly. After entering, he saw the Fifteenth Prince sitting on a branch of a sycamore tree in the courtyard, leaning against the trunk and looking up at the sky.
He stopped and hesitated.
After a while, he finally walked under the tree and raised his head and said, "Well, fifteen."
The fifteenth prince ignored him and continued to look at the blue sky through the lush leaves.
The mottled sunlight passed through the leaves and fell on the little boy's face, making him look lonely.
The Fourteenth Prince stood under the tree, looking at the boy on the tree. His head, which had not moved for a hundred years, began to move as he thought about what he had done in the past two days.
Finally, he realized belatedly that he felt something was wrong with what the Thirteenth Prince asked him to do, but he did not refuse, which was wrong.
After a long while, he spoke, "Fifteen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you, and I shouldn't have taken your food."
This time, the fifteenth prince lowered his head, looked at him, jumped down the tree with an expressionless face, and walked towards the side hall where he lived.
The Fourteenth Prince followed behind: "Um, have you ever heard Xiao Jiu talking to a man?"
The fifteenth prince stopped and his eyes were dim.
Not only did he hear it, but Concubine Dun also heard it. It was precisely because of this that Concubine Dun didn't want him.
These days, the little boy's heart was like a small boat in a storm, helpless and unable to find anyone to talk to.
Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince had taken the initiative to bring it up, he hesitated for a moment, turned around, and said, "I heard it, what's the matter?"
The fourteenth prince tentatively said, "The man said that I died when I was twelve."
Seeing that he could actually communicate this matter with the Fifteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince was excited and hurriedly told him everything he had heard: "The man said that I was killed by the Thirteenth Prince..."
The fifteenth prince listened quietly without showing any surprise: "That's nothing strange, I died very young too."
The fourteenth prince was stunned: "You are dead too?"
The fifteenth prince shrugged and said, "Everyone in this palace will die."
"My mother, will she die too?"
"I don't know, probably."
The fourteenth prince suddenly broke down and squatted on the ground, sobbing: "Mother, I don't want you to die."
The fifteenth prince saw him crying so sadly and wanted to go over to comfort him, but then he remembered that they had teamed up to steal his food and beat him up together, so he withdrew his hand.
He turned back to the house, closed the palace door, and said fiercely: "If you want to cry, go back and cry, don't cry at my door. If someone doesn't know, they will think I'm dead. You are crying for me."

Luoxia Palace.
When Concubine Hui woke up, she felt much better and her mood improved as well.
She first asked someone to bring some dried fish to feed Lingling, and then served her some food. Then she sat on the couch holding Lingling and stared out the window in a daze.
She reviewed what happened in the morning and suddenly remembered the conversation between the Ninth Princess and the mysterious man.
Previously, she was afraid that the emperor would punish her and that he would deal with Lingling, so she was so nervous that she forgot to tell His Majesty about this matter.
But thinking about the Queen's expression and reaction at the time, she must have heard it. Since the Queen knew it, then His Majesty must also know about it.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hui suddenly lost the desire to confide in His Majesty.
But she wanted to talk to someone, so she called the maid in and asked, "Mammy, did you hear a man talking in the Imperial Garden this morning?"
"A man?" The maid thought about it carefully and shook her head and replied, "There was not even a eunuch at that time. I didn't hear the man speak."
Concubine Hui was puzzled: "That's strange."
Mammy was curious: "Madam, what did the man say?"
Concubine Hui: "He said..." No sound.
She cleared her throat and said, "Say..." Still no sound.
The nanny thought her throat was dry, so she hurriedly brought her a glass of water. Concubine Hui took it and took a sip, then tried again, but it still didn't work.
Concubine Hui was pregnant now, so the nanny didn't dare to be careless and asked hurriedly, "Madam, can I call the imperial physician to take a look?"
"It's nothing, go down." Concubine Hui waved her hand, but she was very confused in her heart.

In Furong Palace, the Imperial Concubine sat at the desk looking at the account book, writing a few words from time to time.
Concubine Chun stood aside and ground ink non-stop for more than an hour, but the Imperial Noble Concubine never called for a stop. Even though her arms were numb and her wrists could hardly lift up, she did not dare to stop.
If she were the Queen, she could still play the victim and beg for mercy, but this was the Imperial Noble Consort, she was arrogant and domineering, looked down on everyone, and even His Majesty had no idea how many times she had looked down on him.
Besides, she felt guilty. Yesterday, the fifth prince came to the palace and told her some things he had done that were aimed at the sixth prince.
You said you would do it, so you did it. But it was exposed. She didn't know that the Imperial Concubine suddenly called her to grind ink today. Was it because the Imperial Concubine was upset and wanted to vent her anger on someone, or was she trying to pressure her?
The Imperial Concubine was calm and composed. She drank tea, looked at the account books, and gave instructions from time to time.
Occasionally she raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Chun. Seeing sweat dripping from Concubine Chun's forehead, she snorted in her heart. Compared to the tears shed by her poor Xiaoliu, the little sweat shed by Concubine Chun was really a bargain for her.
At present, no substantial evidence has been found, and she can't do anything. She will just give Xiaoliu a warning first, which can also be considered as a way to vent Xiaoliu's anger.
The Imperial Concubine changed the account book and just opened it when Hong Yu came in with a smile and reported: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is outside asking for an audience. She said she came to complain and she needs your help."
The Imperial Concubine burst out laughing, stood up and walked out: "You little kid, what do you have to report to me?"
As soon as I reached the entrance of the hall, I saw the chubby little girl standing obediently at the door waiting, with a puffy face.
When Ji Jinyou saw the Imperial Concubine coming out, she hurriedly bowed: "Youyou greets the Imperial Concubine."
When the imperial concubine saw the chubby girl, she felt better. She squatted down, picked her up, and touched her chubby hands: "Tell mother quickly, which blind person made our little nine unhappy."
"Empress, Youyou was not bullied. It was the fifteenth brother, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother who snatched the food that the queen gave to the fifteenth brother. They also teamed up to beat him. His arm was broken, and they wanted to beat him again." Ji Jinyou told everything without hiding anything.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine frowned and said, "Two bastards, did they beat you?"
Ji Jinyou shook his head and answered truthfully: "I didn't hit Youyou."
Jin Xing thought of the two little princes' bad attitude towards her young master, and she couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy. The two princes didn't hit our young master, but what they said was not very nice. The Thirteenth Prince bullied our young master and said that he was not liked by Your Majesty, and he also laughed at our young master."
Their young master is sensible and doesn't show it on his face, but who knows how sad he is in his heart. If Concubine Ru knew about this, she would be so heartbroken.
The Imperial Concubine's face suddenly turned cold: "Hongyu, go and call those two brats to me. Oh, and call Fifteen as well."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Hong Yu responded, called two eunuchs, and hurried out.
The Imperial Concubine carried Ji Jinyou into the house and said, "Let's go in and wait. Don't worry, Mother will definitely help our little Jiu get revenge."
Ji Jinyou stretched out his chubby little hand and reached into Jin Xing's arms: "Xing Xing, give me flowers."
Jin Xing hurriedly handed over the flowers in her arms. Ji Jinyou carefully picked one and presented it to the Imperial Concubine: "The flowers are so fragrant. Give it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will also smell good."
The imperial concubine was so delighted that she couldn't help laughing out loud when the little kid gave her flowers and praised her.
She reached out to take the gardenia and smelled it, then leaned over and kissed the little baby, "It smells so good, Xiaojiu is so thoughtful."
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was happy, Ji Jinyou was also happy, and her big black eyes curved into crescents: "Everyone, your Majesty looks so beautiful when she smiles. 】
System: [Of course, in the entire harem, the Imperial Concubine not only has outstanding combat power, but is also one of the best in terms of appearance. 】
Although she didn't know what appearance was, based on the preface and postscript, the Imperial Concubine knew that this should be a compliment to her beauty. The imperial concubine was so delighted by the praises of the unified child that she laughed all the way across the threshold.
Upon entering the room and seeing Concubine Chun still standing there grinding ink, the Imperial Noble Concubine couldn't help but roll her eyes and said disdainfully, "Okay, you've worked hard today, go back first."
Having finally escaped the disaster, Concubine Chun quickly bowed to express her gratitude and took her leave.
Ji Jinyou looked at Concubine Chun who was walking out in a hurry, and asked curiously: [Tongtong, is there any plot about Concubine Chun today? 】
The system carefully flipped through today's plot: [No, there is no mention of Concubine Chun, not a single word. 】
Concubine Chun had just taken two steps out when she heard the voice of the strange young man. She was so startled that her body trembled. She turned back abruptly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and a hint of gossipy excitement.
There is actually a wild man hiding in the Imperial Concubine's room?
