Yuqing Palace
The prince was caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of smallpox...
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have been married for several years but have no children.
The only child in Yuqing Palace was born to the concubine Li Jia.
So although the prince did not like the women in his Yuqing Palace, he still cared about his only son.
Thinking of his only son who was inexplicably infected with smallpox in Yuqing Palace, the prince became furious.
The prince sat at the table with a sullen face. "Have you investigated it clearly? I want to know who did it."
He Zhu stood respectfully below, his calves trembling uncontrollably. The Crown Prince had been pampered since childhood, having his way with him. He had always had a ruthless temper, and few who had provoked him had a good end.
"Your Highness, after a night of investigation, I discovered traces of the Crown Princess's servants' involvement. However, they were very skilled and quickly wiped out the evidence, so there's basically no evidence left. Therefore..."
He knelt on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said tremblingly, "It was my incompetence that failed to find evidence in time."
The prince sat there, leisurely turning the ring on his hand, with an inexplicable look on his face. After a while, he chuckled, "Haha... Crown Princess."
The Crown Prince had thought of this a long time ago. The Crown Princess had been eager to have a child over the years and wanted to give birth to a legitimate son to consolidate her position as the Crown Princess, but she had never been able to do so.
How could she not hate him when she saw the concubine showing off her power by relying on her eldest son every day?
But she was the daughter of the Guwalja clan after all, and she was very clever, and she harmed my eldest son without making any noise.
That's right. The Crown Princess didn't even care about herself, the Crown Prince. Even I, the Crown Prince, was just a tool for her to show off her virtue to the Emperor. All she could think about all day was currying favor with the Emperor and becoming the most outstanding mother of the country in his eyes.
Even the emperor openly praised Guwalgiya for her gentle, virtuous, intelligent and reasonable character, which was comparable to his three deceased queens.
As for what she is like in private, who knows? A hint of sarcasm flashed in the prince's eyes.
Thinking of his eldest son, although his temperament had been changed by Li Jia, he was still his only son after all.
It seems that it is time to teach my virtuous Crown Princess a lesson.
The prince was thinking in his heart when a young eunuch with a delicate face came in from outside. He saw the prince sitting there expressionlessly while He Zhu, the eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace, was kneeling on the ground. He knelt on the ground trembling with fear.
"Master, Min Beile and Dun Junwang are here and are waiting for you in the study."
The prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at He Zhu, "Okay, go down and accept your punishment."
Then he stood up and walked out.
As soon as the prince entered the study, he saw the two brothers Yinzhen and Yin?, each with something like a scarf wrapped around their face.
The prince looked at the two of them and said unhappily, "Ninth and Tenth Brothers, why are you here at this time? Don't you know what time it is? And you dare to run around in the palace? If you have nothing to do, don't come here."
The prince then took the two brothers to his usual office. He wondered what would happen if the little girl got infected with the virus and passed it on to her. She was so old and still didn't know what was going on. Why did Baoer take a fancy to her?
Yin felt disappointed when he heard this. He had come happily to give the prince medicine out of good intentions, but who knew he would be so disappointed? He curled his lips and said, "Prince, you are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know how to appreciate a good heart. If it weren't for Bao'er... woo..."
Before she could finish her words, Yinzhen covered her mouth.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing?" Yin asked unhappily.
Yinzhen didn't want the prince to know Bao'er's intentions towards him, so he said directly to the prince, "Don't be angry, my brother. We brothers took measures when we came here."
He pointed to the cloth on his face and said proudly, "Bao'er heard that there was an epidemic in the palace and knew that we were coming to the palace to help you, so he made a face towel for each of us overnight. He used several layers of cloth. How about it?"
As he spoke, he moved closer so that the prince could see more easily.
Upon hearing this, a hint of jealousy flashed across the prince's eyes, then disappeared and his expression returned to calm.
But at this moment, it was seen by Yinzhen, who was keeping a close eye on the prince.
The prince then looked at Yinzhen and the other two with a calm expression and said, "Oh? Then you two are really lucky to have a woman like Lin Jiashi together."
"Yeah, second brother also thinks Baoer is great, right?" Yin showed off foolishly.
Yinzhen just thought that his tenth brother was so stupid that he was cute, and he hadn't figured out the prince's thoughts.
He glanced at the Crown Prince sarcastically and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince gave Bao Er a generous gift when we got married. I am really grateful to the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, the prince lowered his eyes and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
And Yinzhen continued to say, "But why didn't second brother give it to his younger brother at the wedding, but instead gave it to your younger sister-in-law?"
"That's enough. I will give my things to whoever I want. I won't let you ignore me." The prince said coldly.
"Haha, yes, you are the prince."
"Ninth brother..." Yin stared in amazement at his ninth brother who was showing off his power and repeatedly offending the prince.
"You took the wrong medicine, didn't you?" Yin asked.
Yinzhen angrily called him "idiot"
Then the prince chuckled and said, "Are you nervous or scared?"
Yin'er's heart froze when he heard this, his expression stiffening for a moment. He was indeed a little scared, and a little timid and uncertain.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, but this was the Crown Prince, the one who had always been a huge burden on the princes and princesses. He was a Crown Prince who was both civil and military, talented, and had an extremely handsome appearance.
He was truly afraid that he would steal Baoer's place in his heart. His only advantage now was that the Crown Prince had a wife and children, and his body was no longer pure. But he couldn't deny his charm as the Crown Prince.
