The devil is coming

Chapter 288 Grief
Yanjing.
The Sixth Prince reached out and took a roast goose from a young eunuch, plus two taels of silver.
As a prince and a master, not only did he take the initiative to reward these eunuchs, he actually squeezed them, robbed them of their snacks, and extorted their money. This master was really sitting in an extremely shameful manner.
Eunuch Zhang went to Litian City, and the one who followed the sixth prince was a young father-in-law, also named Zhang. His name was Zhang Miannian. He was Eunuch Zhang’s godson. He had just entered the palace not long ago and his family was clean.
Little Eunuch Zhang stretched out his hand to take the roast goose from the Sixth Prince. The broken silver was not given to him, but went straight into the Sixth Prince's pocket.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace are actually a small river and lake. There are always people stepping on people to get up, and there are always people being dragged down. Of course, since they are slaves, [-]% of everyone's future must be pinned on their masters. .
When the master's power is strong, the slave's back will be straight. When the master's power is weak, the slave will not be welcomed when he goes out. When other palace ladies are looking for someone to eat, they will not be happy to talk to you.
Little Eunuch Zhang felt that there could never be a more miserable master than his own master.
"Hey, let's talk to Xiao Chenzi tomorrow. It's his turn to come and honor me tomorrow."
"Hey, Your Highness, you have a very good memory. I will go and support you later."
"Haha, why don't you remember it? I have this meal that I haven't finished yet, so I'm counting on you to feed it."
"Your Highness, you are serious in your words. It is a blessing for my slaves to be able to respect Your Highness."
"I'm hungry, let's go eat first."
"Your Majesty, please use it. I'll take my leave."
The Sixth Prince walked to a pavilion and sat down. He motioned to Little Eunuch Zhang to start roasting the goose. He first broke off a section of the goose leg and started to chew on it.
Chewing and chewing,
The Sixth Prince saw little Eunuch Zhang motionless and said curiously:
"What are you looking at? Let's eat together."
Little Eunuch Zhang shook his head hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Is it possible that Xinzheku's food is so good that he doesn't even look down on goose meat?
Hey, that’s not right, Xinzheku is a place that cleans toilets, where does the oil and water come from? "
Little Eunuch Zhang blushed, shook his head and said:
"Your Highness, they, their lives are actually quite tight."
"Which one of them?"
"That's right, just now..."
"Oh."
The Sixth Prince didn't take it seriously and continued to eat the goose meat.
"Your Highness, although I have only been in the palace for two years, I also know that after other nobles enter the palace, they are very polite to the people in the palace, even the youngest father-in-law and maidservant, and the stewards are even more so. I often receive filial piety, but there is no one like you, Your Highness, who doesn't flatter them and blackmails them."
"What's the matter? I don't have money to eat. I can't go hungry, right?"
"Your Highness, my godfather has a lot of money hidden there. I, my servant, can steal it for Your Highness to use."
I stole my father’s money to support you!
"Don't, don't, don't! What's yours is yours, I can't use it. I call the eunuchs and maids in each palace every day to prepare the food. These days are quite carefree, and the dishes are different every day. How nice."
"But, but, but in this case..."
Young Eunuch Zhang felt that although His Highness was the least favored among the princes, he could not give up on himself like this. This would offend others severely.
Young Eunuch Zhang, who once worked as an errand in the palace, knows that although these eunuchs don't have much power, if they really want to ruin your affairs, some of them have dirty tricks. Even giving you eye drops in front of their masters will be enough for you. It's time to drink a pot.
The Sixth Prince waved his hand indifferently, sucked his greasy fingers, and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My life is very tight now. Everyone knows this. These princes in the palace, if you reward each of them with a golden bean, they will call you " The master is auspicious, but he has actually been used to it for a long time.
But if you don't have anything to eat, if you wait for them to bring you food and drink, and give you some money, not only will they not be angry, but they will feel happier. "
There is another sentence that the Sixth Prince did not say. They are not only happy, they are also moved when they see you eating the food they sent.
Of course, you have to find someone specific to extort money from, but you can't just do it stupidly. You need to carefully control the heat.
Little Eunuch Zhang didn’t know why.
The sixth prince didn't take it seriously either.
"If you don't eat it, I will eat it all."
"Your Highness, you can eat."
"Ha ha."
As he continued to chew, a burst of crying suddenly came from the other side of the palace wall.
The sixth prince, who was chewing the goose neck, shivered with fright.
Father died?
For a time,
The sixth prince's heart seemed to feel empty all of a sudden.
Fear, uneasiness, confusion, consternation and a little bit of...relaxation.
However, the Sixth Prince still suppressed his emotions from being exposed and said to little Eunuch Zhang:
"Go there and see what's going on."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Little Eunuch Zhang went to see him. After a while, little Eunuch Zhang ran back with red eyes and knelt at the feet of the sixth prince.
The sixth prince's head was about to explode.
no,
Dad just passed away?
Didn't the second brother just become the crown prince and sit on the dragon throne before the bed in the East Palace is warm from sleep?
Heaven is ruthless,
This was the first reaction in the Sixth Prince's mind at this moment.
Of course,
You cannot force the Sixth Prince to grieve excessively at this time.
It is the fault of a son to be unfilial to his father,
This sentence can be said to be vividly displayed in this pair of Tianjia father and son.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Haitang in the Grand Master's Palace has been defeated."
Hearing this sentence,
The sixth prince looked like someone who had just drowned and then been violently pulled out of the water. His head was a little dizzy.
He staggered back into his chair,
call……
Father,
Didn't die.
In my heart, I felt a lot more at ease all of a sudden.
Because the sixth prince knew that no matter how hard his father rubbed him, killed his mother's family, demolished the ancestral hall, and took away everything from him, at least, his father would not kill him.
That third brother, who made such a big mistake and may even have spies from the Qian Kingdom around him, is now imprisoned in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake. He is gone below, but isn't he still alive?
But if my second brother takes over,
According to the temperament of my second brother, to be honest, not many of my brothers can die well.
Not to mention, the more powerful sister-in-law is about to enter the capital. If she becomes the queen as soon as she enters the capital, then there will really be no hope for the contemporary princes of the Ji family.
But secretly, the sixth prince still felt that he was a little lost.
Father, he is not dead.
Then,
An extremely treacherous idea emerged.
Father,
How long can you last?
Little Eunuch Zhang didn't know what forbidden things were going on in His Highness's mind. He was still immersed in the sadness of his grandfather's death.
The palace master is the "teacher" in the hearts of all eunuchs.
In fact, there were not many father-in-laws who could be accepted by him and passed down the art of refining qi. There were only a handful of them, but he was like a bright light in business, igniting a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the eunuchs living in the palace. .
These eunuchs, because of their physical disabilities, tend to have extreme personalities. If they hate someone, they will hate that person to the core. But in other words, if they are really grateful to someone, they can really turn that person into a person. They regard them as their own "parents", even more than their parents.
Because most of the father-in-laws were sold into the palace by their parents when they were young.
"My condolences."
The sixth prince sighed,
bow your head,
Continue to eat roast goose.
He actually didn't know where the old man had gone. He didn't dare to inquire too much, because the cards in his hand were now reduced as much as he used them.
But one thing the Sixth Prince already knew was that the Grand Master had been away from the palace for many days.
Because the two eunuchs working in the palace did not secretly bring rice cakes when they brought food to themselves.
Grandpa,
He died outside the palace.
.........
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly fell into stasis.
The corners of many eunuchs' eyes were glowing red, showing a real sadness that they could not suppress.
In the imperial study,
Emperor Yan was reviewing the memorial,
He looked good and his face was glowing red.
At this time, a young eunuch walked to the door of the Imperial Study Room, and Wei Zhonghe, who was accompanying His Majesty, walked out knowingly. After hearing the news about the failure of Begonia flowers, Wei Zhonghe swayed first, then with bright eyes, raised his head to look at the sky, and began to Seal.
for a while,
Wei Zhonghe walked back to the imperial study.
"What happened?" Emperor Yan put down his imperial pen and asked.
"Your Majesty, Grandpa has ascended to heaven."
Emperor Yan heard this,
He leaned back,
closed eyes,
for a while,
He opened his mouth and said:
"Are you back?"
"Back to Your Majesty, all the luck that I borrowed has come back, and there is a lot more. Before leaving the palace, I said that no matter whether your Majesty believes this or not, and whether your Majesty cares about it or not, since he is Dayan's refiner Qi Shi naturally has to help Dayan regain this energy.
This is the only thing he can do for His Majesty besides making rice cakes. "
Emperor Yan waved his hand,
"I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhonghe bowed and exited the imperial study.
Emperor Yan then leaned back on the chair. No one could see clearly what he was thinking in his eyes at this time.
I don’t know how long it took,
Emperor Yan forced himself onto the chair and sat upright again.
Pick up the tea cup,
The tea was already cold, but he drank it all in one gulp without caring. He even put the tea leaves inside into his mouth and began to chew slowly.
No matter how much I chewed it, I couldn't taste the bitterness at all.
A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and he clutched Yu An with all his fingers.
"You have been mumbling in my ears, saying that it was because my dragon vein was cut off by Master Zang that my health began to get worse and worse. You said you wanted to make up for the luck that had been cut off to me.
Ah,
So what if I can live a few more days?
I can’t eat the rice cakes you made by yourself either. "
"Cough cough..."
Emperor Yan reached out and covered his mouth.
After the cough has passed,
Habitually open your palms,
However, he suddenly discovered that the blood stains on his palms were half less than what he had coughed up before.
