The five hundred and fifty third chapter villain (2)
After hearing this, the sixth prince's nose became even more sore and his eyes were faintly red.
"There are many trustworthy people around Your Highness."
Cheng Jinrong seemed to be able to see through all the uneasiness in his heart, and every sentence hit his heart: "The emperor and the empress are both very good to Your Highness. And He Qi and I. No matter when we are, we will stand behind Your Highness."
Isn’t it too embarrassing to cry in front of my cousin?
The sixth prince rubbed his red eyes with the back of his hands and nodded vigorously: "I understand everything that cousin Rong said."
"I felt a little aggrieved and sad before. I asked myself that I was always very generous to the eunuchs around me, and I almost never blamed and punished them. The annual rewards were also generous. I always thought that if I was so kind to them, they would definitely be loyal to me and would never betray me."
"What happened today was like a slap in the face, waking me up."
"I am too self-righteous. I was made the crown prince and was hated by the emperor's brothers. With my father protecting me, they dare not treat me openly. They do little tricks in private to disgust me. It is not surprising that."
"In the future, there will be no such thing. I cannot forget to eat because of choking, nor can I be suspicious of everyone around me because of this. In this way, I will hit the villain's mind."
Cheng Jinrong smiled in his eyes, and his voice became gentler: "It's good that your highness can figure this out."
It was not in vain that she ran to Yuqing Palace when she heard the news.
The sixth prince calmed down and whispered: "You have to be on duty tonight. If you come out like this, it would be a bad thing if your father suddenly summoned you. You should go back to Baohe Palace soon!"
Cheng Jinrong smiled and nodded.
The sixth prince added: "I will ask Commander He to send you a ride."
Cheng Jinrong nodded with a smile.
...
The night wind is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, blowing towards us.
Cheng Jinrong and He Qi walked side by side, whispering from time to time.
"Whose work is like this today?"
"It's hard to say now. However, there are those people around." He Qi's eyes flashed, and his voice lowered a little: "I have a premonition that this matter is just the beginning. In the future, similar things will never be missing."
Cheng Jinrong sighed silently: "This is also impossible. To be a good person, you have to bear more pressure and burdens than ordinary people."
A kind and soft heart is the greatest advantage of the Sixth Prince and the weakness of the Sixth Prince.
The young sixth prince has always lived under the big tree Xuanhe, a big tree that covers the sky and the sun. One day, he will truly grow up and grow into a towering tree, facing the wind and rain, and protecting the people he cares about.
She felt sorry for her younger brother, but she also knew that this was his necessary journey and it was also a hardship that he could not escape.
He Qi reached out and held Cheng Jinrong's hand, warming her hands, giving her silent comfort.
Cheng Jinrong stopped, turned around, stood opposite He Qi, looked at each other's eyes and held hands.
He Qi looked at Cheng Jinrong in a steady state, suddenly smiled, and leaned into Cheng Jinrong's ear and whispered: "If you look at me like this, I will be in the palace for a while."
Cheng Jinrong's ears were slightly hot and he glared at him.
He Qi raised the corner of his mouth silently, quickly took Cheng Jinrong's hand, and kissed her in her palm. Then he put down his hand as if nothing had happened and continued to move forward.
The sweetness in Cheng Jinrong's heart could not be removed for a long time.
He Qi sent Cheng Jinrong into the room where the imperial physician was on duty in Baohe Palace before turning back.
Du Tidian had already fallen asleep, and Cheng Jinrong was on duty tonight. Two palace ladies were serving tea and snacks, and Cheng Jinrong liked to read medical books on such a quiet night.
A cup of hot tea, a medical book, time slips by silently in silence.
After midnight, she could sleep on Xiaodang for a few hours. Cheng Jinrong put down the medical book, was a little sleepy, and yawned gently.
At this moment, the palace maid next to Empress Pei suddenly came: "Doctor Cheng, I am here on the order of the Empress."
It's so late, why has Queen Pei not fall asleep yet? Could something have happened again?
Cheng Jinrong frowned slightly invisibly, then returned to normal, and asked softly: "What happened?"
The palace maid whispered: "The news came from the prison that one of the dozen eunuchs detained in Yuqing Palace committed suicide by taking poison."
"This Eunuch Lu is usually responsible for the clothes of His Highness the Sixth Prince. His Highness's Prince's dress is also under his control. This time the dress was damaged, and he was most suspected."
"The Empress ordered these eunuchs to be detained separately. Eunuch Lu was locked in a prison alone. In these few hours, only two people had approached Eunuch Lu's cell. One was a food delivery person and the other was a lock-opener."
"Eunuch Lu's legs and feet were tied up, and his whole body was tied with ropes. At most, he moved his fingers. Who would have thought that he had hidden poison in his teeth. Half an hour ago, Eunuch Lu bit the poison and was poisoned to death."
Obviously, Eunuch Lu is a chess piece that will die if you have used it.
Once Eunuch Lu died, the clues were cut off.
Cheng Jinrong's heart sank and nodded slightly: "Go and report to the Empress and say I already know. The night is already deep, and tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony of the Sixth Prince. Please rest early."
...
That night, Empress Pei was full of depression and anger and had not fallen asleep for a long time.
After hearing the news of Eunuch Lu's death, the sixth prince was in a mood and did not sleep well.
The oldest eunuch in Yuqing Palace is Eunuch Lu. When he was seven years old, Eunuch Lu was introduced to Yuqing Palace.
Eunuch Lu is not smart, silent and has little words, and is loyal and reliable.
Three years later, Eunuch Lu was promoted to take charge of clothing. Eunuchs who could serve their masters close to each other were all trusted by their masters. In Yuqing Palace, the sixth prince trusted the most, in addition to Eunuch Ding, who served food and daily life, was the safe and reliable Eunuch Lu.
Who would have thought that Eunuch Lu was actually a nail placed in Yuqing Palace by someone else.
This nail has not moved for six years. Once he took action, he cut his prince's dress to pieces. He immediately bit the poison in the prison and committed suicide.
The Sixth Prince did not know whether to be sad for what he believed was not human, or to be sad for Eunuch Lu's death.
No matter how the Sixth Prince was in a mood, the next day's ceremony of crown prince was held as usual.
The second-hand man Xiaoxi, who temporarily took on important responsibilities, is worthy of being a person carefully trained by Eunuch Zhao. Although he first arrived at the sixth prince, he was very careful in serving food and clothing.
"I will be your Highness from now on." Old Master Xiaoxi did not forget to flatter you and express his loyalty: "Please rest assured, your Highness, I will do my best to serve you. I will be loyal to you and will never have any other intentions."
Mr. Xiaoxi saw that the Sixth Prince was in a low mood and intended to make his master happy.
