Duofu rested his head on his two paws, which were still in relatively good condition, and his entire head was pressed against the clothes that had been stolen from the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. His eyes were full of doubt and worry.
If his memory serves him correctly, what the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, has been more worried about lately is his future prospects.
This foolish behavior was definitely not caused by the death of Empress Tong.
Duofu strained his not-so-large brain. What he remembered most clearly was that before Empress Tong died, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen came out of Empress Tong's bedchamber and hugged him, trembling all the while.
But at that time, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's eyes not only showed sadness and grief, but also a feeling of surviving a calamity.
Anyway, Duofu felt that at that time, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was not only sad and heartbroken, but it seemed that Empress Tong had also given him a reassurance, which made his anxiety and restlessness, which he was suspicious of all day long, dissipate a lot.
That night, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, slept soundly without any nightmares, much to his delight, and Duofu also had a good night's sleep.
Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince Yinzhen were woken up in the middle of the night, he would definitely be woken up as well, and neither of them would get a peaceful night's sleep.
Empress Tong must have arranged a good way out for the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
Should we change it to Jade Disc?
That's probably impossible.
Even before Empress Tong died, she pleaded with Emperor Kangxi countless times, but none of them could sway the emperor, who loved his second son.
Even though they're all dead now, she still has this skill.
Suddenly, Duofu thought of the Crown Prince's birth mother, Empress Xiaochengren Hesheli. She was loved by Emperor Kangxi during her lifetime, and after her death, she was even more sublime, making Emperor Kangxi remember her for the rest of his life and becoming the white moonlight that could never be erased in Emperor Kangxi's heart.
No living person in the harem could compare to his empress, Empress Hesheli.
Emperor Kangxi had some special feelings for Empress Tong. They were not only close relatives, but also childhood sweethearts, and Emperor Kangxi himself favored this cousin.
Although Empress Tong did not fulfill her wish before her death, it is certainly not true that Emperor Kangxi did not care about his cousin.
Now that my little cousin is dead, she may have left an indelible impression on Kangxi's heart. Gradually, he will only think of the good things about his little cousin, and in this way, she will slowly be sublimated and become the cinnabar mole in Kangxi's heart.
Perhaps moved by a sudden impulse, he changed the imperial genealogy for the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, to repay his cousin's regret.
...
Duofu smacked his lips, feeling that his thoughts made sense. In fact, men like Kangxi could only make decisions based on their own self-pity. If you begged him or forced him, the result was not good.
Duofu felt a little hungry. The food he had just eaten had long been digested, and he had just gone through such a long period of mental exertion and fear.
He doesn't know when someone will bring him food.
Just as Duofu was about to eat, a commotion came from outside. Duofu strained his ears to listen to the sounds outside, and covered his lower body with his clothes, trying to find a sense of security in his upper body.
Liang Jiugong brought his men to Chengqian Palace to look for the little dog. Outside, all they could hear was Su Peisheng's anxious voice saying something about how noisy it was outside. Duofu, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't hear him at all.
Liang Jiugong's eyes swept fiercely over the group of people, his tone cold and indifferent.
"Did the dog that the Fourth Prince kept really run away on its own, or did someone hide it in front of our house?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, this is the dog His Majesty wants. You could have ten thousand heads and it wouldn't be enough for His Majesty to chop them off."
The eunuchs and maids serving the Fourth Prince Yinzhen in Chengqian Palace all knelt on the ground begging for mercy, their faces full of fear and unease, repeatedly saying "No, I dare not, spare my life."
Liang Jiugong calmly observed the group of people kneeling below, his gaze settling on Su Peisheng, the personal eunuch of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.
He remembered clearly that Su Peisheng was usually by the side of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, but this time, for some reason, a different eunuch was accompanying him.
Liang Jiugong stared intently at Su Peisheng, his tone full of threats and intimidation.
"You usually serve the Fourth Prince, so why are you staying in Chengqian Palace this time?"
"You weren't the one who hid the dog His Majesty wanted for us, were you?!"
Su Peisheng kowtowed in fear, his voice filled with anxiety and unease.
“Eunuch Liang, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing. I just arrived at Chengqian Palace. The Fourth Prince just instructed me to go to the Imperial Study to bring back my usual things. I had just put them down when you arrived, Eunuch Liang.”
“This servant is not lying. You can ask the people in Chengqian Palace if you don’t believe me.”
"This servant truly does not have the courage."
After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling with fear, and he looked extremely anxious.
Liang Jiugong asked the person next to him, and it was indeed as Su Peisheng said. He had just returned from outside, and there were indeed books and other household items that he had just brought back in the study.
Su Peisheng knelt on the ground, his heart pounding in his chest, his whole body trembling with tension. He absolutely could not be discovered.
Now that Duofu has been discovered, he certainly won't survive. Even if the Emperor spares him, his own Fourth Prince won't let him live.
He had served the Fourth Prince since he was a child, and he knew all too well the coldness and ruthlessness of his master, except that he treated Duofu a little differently.
Su Peisheng dared to swear on his heart that he was absolutely not as important as that tantrum-throwing Duofu in his master's heart.
Every time they sulk with Duofu and can't bear to punish his dog, it's always those of them who are born to serve him who suffer.
At this point, Su Peisheng felt a surge of tears welling up in his eyes. How could he possibly compare himself to that dog that the Fourth Prince cherished and doted on?
He doesn't deserve it.
Only if Duofu survives unharmed will he have a chance to live and firmly establish himself in the service of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, so that he will no longer be afraid of being taken over by other foolish eunuchs.
Su Peisheng pressed his head tightly against the ground, not daring to show the panic in his eyes.
Liang Jiugong searched the Chengqian Palace thoroughly but couldn't find the dog.
Liang Jiugong returned dejectedly with his group, his heart pounding with anxiety. He hadn't even brought back the dog; where would His Majesty's temper have gotten the better of him?
Feeling uneasy, I quickly sent people to search the inner palace. If he's not in Chengqian Palace, he might have run away again.
This time, it was because I ran out that I encountered the two princes in the garden, which led to this series of events.
