A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 Extra 074 We Are the Same Kind of People
The Ninth Prince had always known that it was perfectly normal for him to fall in love with Feng Qingchen, because...
They are the same kind of people!
In order to survive, they can be cruel to their enemies and to themselves.
If he could use the smallest cost to destroy his opponent, he and Feng Qingchen would do it without hesitation.
He was three years old that year, but when he heard the Queen coming, he climbed up the rockery without hesitation, and then jumped down from a position that would injure him but not be fatal...
With a thud... He could never forget the pain of his body hitting the ground, nor the sound of his bones breaking. But at that moment, he did not shed tears. Before he fell into coma, he remembered that he smiled.
In this palace, being cruel to others can help you climb up, and being cruel to yourself can help you survive!
The queen is not the emperor's brother. Although this woman is a powerful figure in the harem, she still has a little conscience, especially since her child has just been born and is extremely weak.
The Queen brought the Ninth Prince back to the palace. Although she could not say that she took good care of him, it was better than keeping him in her own palace. At least the servants did not dare to neglect him.
So, the Ninth Prince recuperated from his injuries in the Queen's Palace.
The Queen could not treat the Ninth Prince as her own son, but she would definitely give him a share of what he deserved. In the Queen's palace, the Ninth Prince had a very comfortable life for several months, and his little face had grown a little flesh.
As for the little eunuch?
That couldn't be easier to solve.
As soon as the queen saw it, she concluded that the young eunuch had failed to take good care of the master, and his death would have been in vain. No one suspected the Ninth Prince, this half-grown child.
Although the Ninth Prince had nightmares for several days afterwards, others thought that he was just frightened because he did not show any abnormality.
Of course, the emperor was not happy with the queen's care for the Ninth Prince, but before he could say anything, the ministers praised the emperor for his kindness and for treating his younger brother, the Ninth Prince, very kindly at the morning court. Even the people spread the news...
You can't suppress a person like the emperor, you can only praise him. The emperor is a man of talent and revenge. At this time, he is said to be a wise ruler. Even if he wants to do something foolish, he has to consider his reputation.
In this way, no matter how dissatisfied the emperor is, he can only let the queen take care of the ninth uncle. After all, he can't slap himself in the face, right?
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. The Ninth Prince is young and can recover well, but he broke bones after all. If he cannot take good care of himself, he may suffer from illness in the future. In this regard, the Queen, her sister-in-law, has done a very good job.
Her son was born with a disease, so she spent most of her energy on taking care of the child. Naturally, the Ninth Prince Uncle was also indispensable, and the Ninth Prince Uncle would also have a share of what her son ate and used.
The Queen was generous with the good medicinal herbs collected by her family, which the Ninth Prince could use. The Ninth Prince's leg injury healed very well under the Queen's care.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the queen is a talented person. She can recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. Her talent and knowledge are no less than that of men. It's just...
The emperor didn't like her. She was only concerned about her son and had no intention of competing for favor. She just had to do what a queen should do and maintain her dignity.
As a result, the queen had more free time, which she used to read and write.
Taking into account that children of the Ninth Prince's age are at the peak of their mischievousness, the Queen was afraid that he would get sick if he stayed in his room all day, so she brought her son over every day and read to the two children.
The queen didn't think that her newborn son, a nearly three-year-old child who couldn't read, could understand anything. She was just killing time, but she didn't know...
Her unintentional action brought great benefits to the Ninth Prince.
The old eunuch could only teach the Ninth Uncle to read. How could he teach the Ninth Uncle, since he himself did not know the principles and knowledge in the books?
But the queen was different. She came from a noble family and was very talented. Even when she was telling stories to two children, she could still convey profound truths...
During that time, the Ninth Prince was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge that was unfamiliar but full of appeal to him.
Therefore, for a long time, he remembered how good the imperial sister-in-law was to him. Even if the prince was not a good person, when he was able to do so, he would protect the prince all the way up, even...
In the end, he was named King of Jiangnan.
Although the Queen did not mean it at the time, the Ninth Prince had learned so much from her. Even though the Queen was only fair and impartial to him, he still remembered the Queen's kindness.
only……
Such a life was doomed to be short-lived. After staying in the Queen's bedroom for half a year, the Ninth Prince moved out.
He had no regrets because he knew very well that such a wonderful life did not belong to him and he could not sink.
After all, they had been together for half a year. On the day when he moved out, the Queen was still a little reluctant to let him go, and gave the Ninth Prince many things, the most important of which were books.
The Queen gave the Ninth Prince a whole set of books and told him: "Don't read them in front of others, and don't let anyone find out. Once you have memorized these books, burn them immediately. If anyone finds out, I will not admit that I gave them to you."
As a woman, the queen is undoubtedly a smart person. She knows the situation of the Ninth Prince and understands the emperor's thoughts even better. She cannot be too nice to the Ninth Prince, but that does not prevent her from establishing a good relationship with him.
The reason was simple. Her son was the legitimate son of the Eastern Palace, and possibly the only legitimate son. However, her son was born with a heart disease, and in the future...
No matter what, it's dangerous. If there is someone who can protect him, maybe he can live better.
The Queen did not have high hopes for the Ninth Prince. It was just a piece of cake, and she would not do anything that would embarrass herself for the Ninth Prince.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." This was the first time that the Ninth Prince addressed the Queen as sister-in-law. The Queen was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and rubbed the Ninth Prince's head: "You are a good child, and smart enough. But you are still young. Before you grow up, just be a child."
The Queen's words were very obscure, but the four-year-old Ninth Prince understood.
He knew that this seemingly distant sister-in-law knew that the death of the young eunuch was not an accident. But even though she knew that, she still concealed it for him.
"I remember what the Empress said." The Ninth Prince stared at the Empress in a daze. At that moment, he was thinking, if his mother had not died, would she have rubbed his head and said to him, "Just be a child."
Unfortunately, his mother died, and he could only secretly watch the queen holding her son Zhao, secretly envious in his heart...
After returning to his own palace, life became unchanged again. The palace maids and eunuchs were replaced with a new batch. They had no feelings at all towards the Ninth Prince, as if they knew nothing.
The new group of people should have been carefully selected by the emperor. They brought him food on time every day, woke him up, and would not let him get cold or hungry. However...
These people didn't talk to him, not a single word, not even calling him "Master" or "Prince". Every day they appeared beside him like ghosts, and then disappeared again.
The huge palace was dead silent, and there was no sound at all the whole day. He could only talk to himself.
If he was like an ordinary child, the Ninth Prince thought... he would either be stupid, dumb, or even crazy...
There were servants around him, but there was no sound at all. Not a single sound could be heard for ten days or half a month. The atmosphere was really depressing. Even though the Ninth Prince was precocious, he was extremely irritable for a while...
This kind of cold violence is more terrible than beating or scolding.
A month later, the Ninth Prince's patience had reached its limit, and under the watchful eyes of the palace servants, he quietly slipped out in the middle of the night.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to go find the queen. He went to find the old eunuch. He needed someone to talk to him, even if it was just to call his name.
But reality once again taught him what it meant to be a fish and others to be the butcher.
The old eunuch is dead!
The only person in this palace who would protect him is dead.
He was not sad or upset, but he felt very uncomfortable. Even so, he never cried, let alone became depressed. He calmly inquired why the old eunuch died.
He wanted to know if his brother had discovered something.
If that was the case, then he would have to be more careful. You know, killing a child in the palace is really too easy. Just one meatball could make him swallow it to death at a banquet without anyone noticing anything unusual.
He had seen before that the son of a young palace concubine somehow grabbed a round fruit and put it into his mouth, then swallowed it to death.
Later, he found out that the reason why the little prince grabbed the round fruit on the table was because the people who served him prepared round fruits for him in private. All snacks were made into round shapes and tasted very good...
Not every child is as precocious as him. Eating round fruits every day will automatically form the idea in his mind that round fruits are delicious and he will want to eat them when he sees them.
In this case, being choked to death is only a matter of time.
In the palace, there are so many ways to kill people without spilling blood. Without the protection of his parents, it is not easy for a child like him to survive...
It was too difficult for the Ninth Prince to find out the cause of death of the old eunuch. There were no eunuchs like him in the palace. He couldn't even pretend to be a young eunuch. He could only secretly go to the places where the palace maids and eunuchs stayed and eavesdrop every day...
In this way, he could not only get information but also hear people talking, so that he would not be tortured to death in the depressing atmosphere.
This kind of life lasted for a month, and he finally found out that the old eunuch was not silenced by his brother, but died in an accident.
Accident?
Although the Ninth Prince did not want to admit it, he also knew that it was definitely not an accident. The old eunuch died on purpose because only by dying would there be no traces left, and the Emperor would not be able to find out anything in the future...
He was less than four years old that year. He killed a man with his own hands, and another man died because of him!
That year, he began to doubt the sentence in the Three Character Classic: "When a person is born, his nature is good", because...
His life is evil by nature!
