Chapter 38 I'll kill you first, so you won't hurt me later
Concubine Chun quickly looked around, trying to find the wild man, but after searching for a long time, she didn't see any wild man, let alone a wild man ghost.
Seeing Concubine Chun's excited expression and her eyes glowing green, the Imperial Concubine pondered for a moment and guessed what Concubine Chun was thinking, and sneered in her heart.
An idiot is an idiot, and his head looks different from others.
Not to mention that she never had that intention. Even if she really had an affair with that man, how could she be so stupid as to hide it in her own bedroom, let alone let such a stupid thing as Concubine Chun hear it.
Intent on letting Concubine Chun listen to the conversation between Yi Wa and Yi Tong, the Imperial Concubine did not rush anyone and walked straight to the couch with Xiao Jiujing in her arms and sat down.
Jin Xing remembered Rupin's instructions and did not follow in. She stood outside the door waiting. She saw Concubine Chun suddenly stop halfway through her walk and look around. She was puzzled, but did not look at her any further. She lowered her head and stared at the gardenia in her hand.
Ji Jinyou also noticed that Concubine Chun suddenly stopped walking halfway and just stood in the middle of the field, looking around like she was walking in a market. She asked curiously: [Tongtong, what kind of person is Concubine Chun? ]
The system searched for it and introduced it with great interest: [To use a word from the Imperial Concubine to describe Concubine Chun, it would be "a blockhead". To use the words in the original book, she has a simple mind and is extremely stupid.]
Concubine Chun's face was full of curiosity and inquiries, but when she heard this, her face froze. Is this what the Imperial Concubine said to her?
How could the Imperial Concubine curse like that? How could she be that stupid?
Also, what does “original book” mean?
The Imperial Concubine glanced at Concubine Chun and felt a little relieved when she saw her stupid look of being hit. Your stupid son hurt my Xiaoliu, so I will take revenge on you.
The Royal Concubine remained calm, smiling as she hugged the little girl in her arms and gave her a big kiss. Why is this child, Xiaojiu, so popular? Come on, ask Tongtong a few more questions.
Over the past few days, Ji Jinyou had already gotten used to the two ladies and two sisters kissing her at every turn. She smiled in support and continued chatting with the system in her mind: [Did Concubine Chun die in the end? ]
System: [Of course they died. Concubine Chun and the Fifth Prince were both so stupid. They had no ability at all, but they thought they were smart and had to get involved in the battle for the throne. It seemed that the battle for the throne hadn't really started yet, and these two cannon fodders died one after another. Let me see, ah, it happened at the end of this year, and it's only a few months away.]
This piece of news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Concubine Chun's head with a loud bang. She staggered a few steps and only managed to stand steady by holding on to a flower stand beside her.
She was shocked. What was this wild man talking about? Why did he say that she and her baby Xiaowu were dead? And at the end of this year?
Why was the Ninth Princess talking to this wild man? Where was he hiding? Could he stop being so secretive? No, she wanted to ask him in person what was going on.
Also, the Imperial Concubine was laughing and laughing as if she had picked up some treasure. What was she laughing at?
Concubine Chun was full of confusion and looked bewildered. She turned around and walked towards the Imperial Concubine, "Madam Imperial Concubine, have you ever heard..."
I was speechless.
She was filled with shock and quickly covered her neck with her hands.
Seeing Concubine Chun stretching her neck like a duck with its neck stuck, the Imperial Concubine was in a very good mood, "Someone, Concubine Chun is not feeling well, maybe she has caught a cold, help her go back and rest."
Qingshuang, another senior palace maid in Furong Palace, responded upon hearing the voice, walked in with two other palace maids, helped Concubine Chun up and left.
Concubine Chun was carried out by two palace maids. After struggling for a few times, she couldn't get away. She had to turn her head back and shout: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling unwell. I just want to say..., want to say..., ahem, want to say..."
The Imperial Concubine shook her head: "Tsk tsk, how pitiful! She looks very ill. Qingshuang, remember to ask the imperial physician to check on Concubine Chun."
Qing Shuang is another capable general beside the Imperial Concubine. She is smart and capable, ruthless and taciturn. She knows what he means when he hears her voice. "Yes, I will send someone to invite him now."
The Imperial Concubine then said to Concubine Chun from behind, "Concubine Chun, for the next half month, you should stay in the palace and take good care of yourself. Don't go out and walk around. There are many children in the palace, so don't infect them."
The Imperial Noble Consort knew clearly that after hearing what Tong Tong said, Concubine Chun must be very worried and wanted to figure out what was going on, but she would not let her figure it out and let her hold it in, even if it was best if she could hold it in to death.
"Your Majesty, I am not sick. I heard... I heard..." Concubine Chun was carried out of Furong Palace in this way.
Ji Jinyou looked at Concubine Chun who was obviously being dragged away, and then looked up at Concubine Huang Gui. She wisely said nothing, but quietly asked in her heart: [Tong, why do I feel that Concubine Chun is not ill and seems to have something to say.]
System: [Silly Youzi, this is a palace infighting article. It's normal to fight. Why do you care about that? You can only live for 65 days. Just eat well, drink well and have fun. That's better than anything else.]
[That’s right.] Ji Jinyou felt that what the system said made sense. Seeing a plate of melon seeds on the table, she stretched out her little hand, grabbed a handful, and began to peel them clumsily.
The Imperial Concubine gave Concubine Chun a little scolding. She was in a good mood and hugged the little girl who was peeling melon seeds and kissed her twice. Then she took the seeds from her hand and said in a choked voice: "Little Nine, dear, you want to eat melons, right? Your mother will peel them for you."
Ji Jinyou: "..."
Although she had been trying hard to adapt for several days, she couldn't help but shudder when the Royal Concubine suddenly turned into a naughty woman.
---
The Fourteenth Prince paid no attention to the Thirteenth Prince's calls and ran away from the Yu Garden without looking back. The Thirteenth Prince was so angry that he cursed him a few times.
Then he turned around and ran outside, to his mother, Concubine Li, and wanted to tell her what he had heard, but he still couldn't say anything.
Concubine Li asked him what was wrong, but he couldn't explain. He couldn't get rid of the fear in his heart, so he just wanted to solve the source of his fear himself.
He borrowed two young eunuchs from Concubine Li's palace and hurried to the most remote courtyard in the corner of the palace.
Zheng An had just recovered from a serious illness and was in much better spirits today. He accompanied Xue Yili in the yard to practice boxing and fighting.
As the two men were hitting each other with a wooden stick, they heard a bang bang bang at the courtyard gate, accompanied by extremely rude shouts.
Their place is remote and no one has ever visited it. If there are people here, they are most likely here to cause trouble.
It's been quiet for a few days, and now it's happening again? Xue Yili's face darkened.
Cong'an also frowned and asked loudly, "Who is it?"
The Thirteenth Prince kicked the door and said angrily, "Open the door for me."
"Your Highness, it sounds like the Thirteenth Prince," Cong'an said nervously, holding the stick tightly in his hand: "What should we do?"
Xue Yili said calmly, "Go open the door."
Cong An reminded quietly: "Your Highness, he seems to be here with bad intentions."
Xue Yili slammed the stick in his hand to the ground and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, if you want to fight, then fight. It's better to make a big noise and report it to the old emperor. I want to ask him if he wants to kill me and then go to war with Dayao."
Upon hearing this, Zong An instantly gained confidence and straightened his back: "Yes."
Cong'an put the stick in his hand onto the shelf beside him, walked to the door, opened the shabby and paint-chipped gate, and saw that it was indeed the Thirteenth Prince outside, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Cong'an bowed his hands and saluted, neither servile nor overbearing: "I wonder what the Thirteenth Prince has done for you?"
The Thirteenth Prince looked at the follower who was two heads taller than him and reached out to push him: "Get out of the way, I'm going to find Xue Yili."
Zong An quickly dodged to the side, avoiding his push, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation: "Please."
The Thirteenth Prince did not expect Cong'an to dare to dodge. He lost control of his strength and fell forward, almost falling to the ground. A young eunuch following behind him was quick-witted and pulled him up.
The Thirteenth Prince felt that he had lost face, and he raised his foot to kick Cong'an: "You little slave, I hit you because I respect you, and you dare to hide! Catch him!"
Upon hearing the sound, the two eunuchs he brought with him immediately stepped forward to grab Cong'an's arms, but Cong'an easily dodged and quickly retreated.
Their Highness is already in a difficult situation, so it is better not to take action if possible. Even if they have to take action, they cannot be the first to act, otherwise they will be in the wrong.
Those two eunuchs had helped the Thirteenth Prince to bully Xue Yili and Cong'an before. Since they didn't catch them right away, they were not willing to give up easily. They rolled up their sleeves and chased after them, cursing at them.
Xue Yili's eyes flashed, and he rushed forward, picked up the long stick in his hand, swiped it twice, and accurately pointed on the elbows of the two eunuchs, causing their whole arms to ache violently, and they each covered their arms and kept jumping. .
"Waste!" The Thirteenth Prince cursed angrily, clenching his fist and throwing it at Xue Yili: "Little beast, I'm going to kill you first, so that you won't hurt me in the future."
"I hurt you? It's obviously you who has been hurting me."
Xue Yili didn't know where the Thirteenth Prince's inexplicable words came from, but he had always disliked this stupid and evil guy. Over the years, he always picked on him for no reason.
Maybe, Cong'an's medicine and their rice were secretly taken away by this idiot.
He didn't want to keep swallowing his anger like this any longer. If he continued to endure it, he might even lose his life.
Thinking that Cong'an almost died, Xue Yili's eyes became fierce. He swung his arms violently, raised the long stick in his hand, and hit the Thirteenth Prince directly on the stomach, knocking him flying. He fell to the ground, cried out in pain, and did not move for a long time.
The two eunuchs had just recovered from the shock when they saw the Thirteenth Prince being knocked down unexpectedly. They shouted "Your Highness" and ran over to lend a hand to help him.
The Thirteenth Prince kicked and kicked, refusing to let them help him, with a vicious look in his eyes: "Don't worry about me, beat him for me, beat him hard, beat him to death."
Beat that little beast to death, and he won't throw him into the fish pond to feed the fish in the future.
The two young eunuchs were stunned and hesitated.
Bullying this little hostage is not a big deal. After all, it is not just their Highness who is bullying him. They have done it many times in the past under the command of the little Highness, and nothing has happened.
But they still didn't dare to kill the little proton.
Seeing that the two of them were hesitating and not taking action, the Thirteenth Prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth, climbed up, and rushed forward again. He took out a small dagger from somewhere, threw away the scabbard, and stabbed at Xue Yili.
The dagger was sharp, and the blade gleamed coldly under the sunlight.
This is going to be fatal. The two eunuchs' faces changed and they hurriedly ran after him, coaxing him: "Your Highness, we're here, we're here, please don't do anything."
If the young prince really caused someone to die, regardless of whether he would be punished by His Majesty in the future, Concubine Li would definitely push the responsibility onto the two of them and beat them to death first.
It would be better for them to take action and beat up that little proton. After all, they know their men well, and no matter how hard they beat him, no one will die, and the little prince can also calm down.
Seeing three people rushing towards Xue Yili, Cong An panicked and rushed to his own prince in two or three steps, protecting him behind him: "Your Highness, please go back to your room."
Xue Yili flashed out from behind Cong'an, holding the stick in both hands, ready for battle, with deep eyes and fierce tone: "Watch out for those two servants, don't worry about me."
Looking at the mad Thirteenth Prince, Cong An realized that there was no way to resolve this matter today, and he could only listen to His Highness for now.
He answered yes, reached out and picked up the stick from the rack, walked quickly forward, raised the stick horizontally at the height of the two eunuchs' necks, blocked them, and pushed them back to the top of the courtyard wall.
Although the two young eunuchs were a few years older than Cong'an, taller and stronger, they had never learned martial arts. In the past, they had always succeeded in bullying the master and servant. That was because Xue Yili and Cong'an did not want to cause trouble due to their circumstances, so they just endured it and gave in.
But when the master and servant really wanted to resist, they had no power to fight back. A stick was stuck at the throat and they were pressed against the wall. They opened their mouths and had difficulty breathing. They had no strength to care about the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince was frightened by the tragic death he was about to face, and he wanted to take the initiative to kill the little beast who was feeding him to the fish. He had no time to care about the two eunuchs who were restrained by Cong An. He chased Xue Yili with a dagger in his hand, stabbing him again and again.
The Thirteenth Prince had practiced martial arts since he was young and knew some kung fu. For a ten-year-old boy, he was quite strong and he kept stabbing like crazy. If he was stabbed in the vitals, he would be seriously injured if not killed.
Xue Yili did not fight him head-on. He jumped and hopped with his stick in hand, and ran a few laps in the yard with the Thirteenth Prince. When he saw clearly what he was doing, he seized the opportunity and hit him on the knee with the stick.
The Thirteenth Prince fell to his knees in pain, but he did not let go of the dagger in his hand. He struggled to his feet and rushed towards Xue Yili again.
Xue Yili swung the stick again and beat him to his knees.
The Thirteenth Prince felt it was a huge humiliation to kneel before his enemy again and again. He roared angrily, got up and rushed forward again.
Xue Yili swung his stick again, but before it landed, he heard a few screams coming from the courtyard gate, followed by a few people running in from the open gate.
Xue Yili took a quick look and saw that it was the maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine who was running towards them with a few people. He immediately pretended to be careless, dropped the stick in his hand, and then stood facing the Thirteenth Prince.
"I will kill you." The Thirteenth Prince saw the opportunity and brandished a dagger with a ferocious look on his face, shouting as he stabbed towards Xue Yili.
Cong'an used a stick to restrain the two young eunuchs, but his eyes were always fixed on Xue Yili. Seeing that his own prince always had the upper hand, he was not too worried.
But when he saw his own prince suddenly throw away the stick for some reason and face the dagger head-on with his body, he no longer cared about the two eunuchs and turned around and ran towards Xue Yili: "Your Highness, be careful."
Seeing that he could not run fast enough, he threw the stick in his hand out, but lost his aim in a panic. As they were both running, the stick flew past the Thirteenth Prince's ear and missed.
The moment the Thirteenth Prince rushed in front of him, Xue Yili slightly turned sideways, tilted his neck back, and dodged nimbly. Then he grabbed the Thirteenth Prince's wrist holding the dagger with both hands, flipped over, and pushed the dagger towards the Thirteenth Prince's neck.
Seeing the dagger about to pierce his neck, the Thirteenth Prince's eyes widened in fear. He tried to throw away the dagger after struggling with it with his hands.
At this moment, a fleeting smile appeared on Xue Yili's lips. He used all his strength to suddenly turn the dagger and stabbed it towards his shoulder with the Thirteenth Prince's hand.
The dagger pierced through the cloth and stabbed into the shoulder. Bright red blood flowed out instantly, soaking the moon-white clothes.
Xue Yili let go and fell to the ground with his back. At the moment he fell to the ground, he pointed at the Thirteenth Prince with a trembling hand and angrily accused: "You, you want to kill me?"
"Your Highness!" Cong An screamed heartbreakingly, and tears instantly burst out of his eyes.
