Duofu was completely stunned; he was genuinely stunned.
He must have been dreaming too much to believe that His Highness the Crown Prince was rebelling.
Duofu reached out and pinched his chubby cheek hard. Ouch, that hurts.
Duofu blinked in disbelief, looked at the sun outside, and saw it hanging properly in the sky. Today was no different from yesterday.
Why did the crown prince rebel?
Hasn't the Crown Prince's tone gradually improved as people in the court come to terms with it?
Why couldn't he think straight? Duofu only knew that quite a few princes had been confined by the Crown Prince recently. He thought the Crown Prince just wanted to vent his anger and wanted Kangxi to punish them all.
Little did they expect that they were planning to take advantage of this opportunity to start a rebellion.
Duofu felt uneasy in bed. Lately, the Fourth Prince had been going to the Crown Prince's place all the time. He wondered if his own cat owner would be implicated as well.
There's no history of pet owners joining the Crown Prince in rebellion, nor does it seem like the Crown Prince rebelled shortly after rising to power.
They should have been waiting for a few more years, so why did they rebel so quickly?
Doesn't this kind of thing need to be planned out?
Duofu had a feeling that his pet owner would definitely not be left unscathed this time, and would definitely be involved.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense. He's been going to the Crown Prince's palace a lot lately, and the Crown Prince summons him there all the time.
Duofu thought about it and it made more and more sense. The more he thought about it, the dizzier he felt. In history, no crown prince had ever succeeded in rebelling. Even with his own cat owner on board, Duofu did not believe that they could overthrow the Kangxi Emperor at his peak.
Emperor Kangxi is currently in his prime, handling everything with ease and full of energy. Haven't you noticed how many little brats have been popping up in the harem these past few years?
Whenever Duofu thought about how the Crown Prince was imprisoned until his death, he wondered if his less-favored pet owner would suffer an even worse fate.
Listening to the chaotic commotion outside, Duofu felt unsafe even inside the manor.
Indeed, even at this moment, his pet owner didn't forget to send him away.
Before the rebellion, he should have been sent out to hide, so that they wouldn't have to suffer together if it failed. It would be best to prepare plenty of gold and silver for him. He felt that he was about ready to pack up and find his next powerful patron.
He would never endure hardship with his pet owner.
Duofu was on the verge of tears, while Su Peisheng urged him to leave the manor as soon as possible to avoid the storm, as the Forbidden City was in chaos recently.
Duofu didn't bring anything else with him, just his pet owner's pillow, as he boarded the carriage.
Duofu was panicked; it felt like his family had been wiped out, and he was a young master who had run away.
Duofu just hoped it was all a false alarm in the end, and that his pet owner hadn't been involved, and that it was all the Crown Prince's doing.
After getting into the carriage, Duofu became increasingly calm. His human was such a shrewd person that he shouldn't be blind to the situation and join the prince in rebellion. Rebellion would bring him no benefit whatsoever.
Having one's father as emperor and having one's brother as emperor are two completely different things, and the more Duofu thought about it, the more sense it made.
Yes, his pet owner has been such a shrewd person since he was a child, how could he possibly rebel?
It must be the Crown Prince's business alone. Maybe his pet owner can even get some credit for it. The more Duofu thought about it, the more it made sense. Gradually, his face stopped turning red and his breathing stopped.
He simply couldn't believe that his father, Shi Guang, with his brilliant mind, would be willing to take such a huge risk to rebel.
Duofu is now in the mood to open the pastries that Su Peisheng brought and eat them in small bites. He needs to eat something to calm his nerves.
What was wrong with his thought process just now?
How could he have imagined his pet owner would rebel? That's really something!
His pet owner is a loyal and patriotic good person, and would never do anything illegal or against the law.
After Duofu finished eating the four pieces of pastry, he felt much better and more at ease.
