Uncle (4)
When the emperor in the palace suspected that Zhu Ye was still useless, Duan Qingen locked himself in the room alone and carefully observed his injured leg.
On the surface, this leg looks exactly like a normal person's leg, even compared to another intact leg. It doesn't look like the kind of person who really can't walk and whose legs are gradually shrinking.
No one had doubted it before. After all, the original owner never wanted others to see his legs, including Zhu Ye.
Because of this, according to the rules, when the prince is sleeping, there must be someone waiting beside him in the room, but when it comes to him, it turns out that people are kicked out every time he enters the room and gets on the bed. go out.
I had to wear my own clothes, socks, etc., and I had to cover my legs before I asked people to come in and wait for me.
Others would not think that he was covering up anything, but they would all express their understanding. After all, a once high-spirited Crown Prince suddenly became lame, and he would definitely not be willing to expose his weakness to the eyes of others.
In fact, every time the original owner was alone in the house, he would walk carefully for half an hour, just to prevent his legs from really shrinking.
It can be said that he is very cautious in order to survive.
It's a pity that after being cautious for half a lifetime, I finally lost to the person I liked.
Duan Qingen stretched out his hand and touched the leg carefully.
It's just that the bones are crooked. Just break it and reconnect it and it will be fine. He is the prince, but no one in the hospital can tell.
Also, when the original owner just left the palace, he was unwilling to find a doctor outside to look at his legs. The answer he got was that it would never get better in this life. Otherwise, he might not be able to sit back as the prince again. superior.
But considering that it was Zhu Ye who called the doctor in the first place, Duan Qingen could understand.
If you work carefully, you will definitely not do good things.
Now he can't do anything to the emperor for the time being. After all, he has neither power nor connections. But if he can't take action against the boss, why can't he take it out on the younger brother?
Duan Qingen put down his pants, put on his socks, returned to his original position, and said loudly to the outside: "Zhu Ye."
Zhu Ye, who had been waiting for him at the door, quickly opened the door and walked in slowly, slowly.
Seeing him like this, Duan Qingen asked knowingly with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Ye seemed to be trying to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't squeeze it out after a long time. In the end, he could only lower his head and said feebly:
"Back to my lord, my servant accidentally moved his waist while carrying the vase you wanted."
"Did your waist?"
Sitting on the couch, the prince, who looked handsome and had a gentle temperament, really looked surprised.
Hearing his surprised tone, Zhu Ye felt his teeth itch with hatred.
Didn't he flash his waist?
It was such a big and heavy vase, but the person in front of me kept saying that this vase was a gift from my father and there must be no mistakes. If he didn't believe that others thought he was clumsy, he would have to let him carry it.
Zhu Ye, who has been enjoying himself for more than ten years and has hardly done any work, still has such a big vase, which is a gift from the Supreme Emperor. Even if he has no strength, he still has to carry it with him. Do you move carefully with the sweat on your head?
Otherwise, if the vase falls, will his head be saved?
After such an operation, it's not just a flash of waist.
But even though he had flashed his waist, Zhu Ye was still very happy in his heart. Now that he had flashed his waist, the prince would not ask him to do this or that.
Duan Qingen really didn't intend to let him do this or that again.
He threw the book in his hand to the side and said with a worried look on his face: "You are not young anymore, and it is not a small matter to slip your waist. In this way, you should not wait around me these days. , I will allow you to cultivate."
Hearing this, Zhu Ye was a little happy. After all, he was not a loyal person, so it was good to have an open and honest rest.
As a result, I was just happy every second when I heard the prince sitting on the couch say something else: "Don't worry about me having no one to take care of me. Dexi will take good care of me."
Zhu Ye's face froze.
No, if he takes a rest, won't that boy Dexi take over his errand?
Now that he is still in front of him, the prince is already saying good things to him. If he leaves the prince's side again, will there still be a place for him next to the prince when he comes back?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ye's expression immediately changed, and his face was filled with the passion of "I want to throw away my head, I want to shed blood": "This slave is nothing, the prince does not need to worry about it, this slave's low body, isn't it just a flash of waist? It’ll be fine soon.”
Although he said this, Duan Qingen still looked concerned: "Seriously? If you are really uncomfortable, you don't need to hide it from me. You have been by my side for more than ten years. I can still give you this face." ”
"Go back to your lord, my servant is really fine."
Zhu Ye endured the pain in his waist and said with a righteous expression on his face: "If you have to recuperate after just a minor injury, then your slave is too delicate. Prince, don't worry, my slave will be fine."
He has always been good at lying. Duan Qingen obviously believed his words. His frown gradually relaxed and he said with a little relaxation:
"Since you have nothing to do, go to the warehouse and get the treasure box that my father gave me. It is a box filled with all kinds of rare treasures."
Zhu Ye: "..."
Zhu Ye: "... Should I go alone as a slave?"
"Of course it's you alone."
The prince sitting on the bed sighed and said with some emotion: "You are the only one I can trust around me. The treasure box was a gift from my father when I was ten years old. The various rare treasures in it are all treasures. How can I let others touch them."
They are indeed treasures, but precisely because they were given by the emperor, the treasures in this box cannot be exchanged for money, and it is not easy to wear it out to attract attention. After so long, the treasures can only be covered in dust.
Zhu Ye followed Duan Qingen when he opened the mansion, so he naturally knew how heavy the big box was.
At that time, he supervised two eunuchs to carry it into the warehouse, and now he was asked to move it alone...
He hesitated and didn't know whether he should ask if he could ask others to help him.
The prince with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes looked at him motionlessly with a puzzled look: "How is it? Is your waist hurting again?"
"Or you should rest, I will call a doctor to see you, and then rest well for a few days, and come to serve me after you have recovered."
Zhu Ye was immediately energetic.
No!
Can't rest!
He must not let Dexi take his position!
He gritted his teeth; "I'm fine, I'm going to move!"
Zhu Ye went out, and Duan Qingen raised his eyebrows at his back as he walked out with difficulty: "Dexi."
Dexi immediately ran in from outside, with a face full of joy like a dog waiting for his master to give orders: "Prince."
"Go prepare the car, I have to go out for a trip."
"Yes, Prince."
The biggest difference between Dexi and Zhu Ye is that he never interferes with any decision of Duan Qingen, and turns around and does it immediately after an instruction and an action.
For him, his mother died, his father sold him out, and the prince was the only one he could rely on in the whole palace. It didn't take long for Dexi to be quite loyal now.
When the car came, Zhu Ye was still struggling to move the box.
Because Duan Qingen pointed out that the things in the box were all treasures bestowed by the emperor, he didn't dare to let others help him. After all, the prince wanted him to move it alone. What if he asked someone to move it and someone else stole it?
Don't think he doesn't know, there are many people in the palace who are eyeing his position recently.
Zhu Ye's mind was full of gold, silver and treasures, and then he became the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
Persistence! !
Persistence! !
It's just moving a box!
For a bright future, in order to continue to be with the prince and report his every move to His Majesty.
He can do it!
He can do it!
Zhu Ye went through a lot of hardships, and almost felt pain every time he took a step. I don't know if it was because of tiredness or pain, but he was sweating all over.
After finally getting the box into the house, he thought he saw the dawn of victory, but when he looked up, the house was empty. The prince who was supposed to be recuperating in bed as usual was gone.
Zhu Ye: "..."
He wiped the sweat from his head and asked the people outside to find out that Duan Qingen had gone out by car.
The man looked at Zhu Ye, who was sweating and panting, unhappily. On the surface, he was friendly, but his tone was quite yin and yang:
"The prince has ordered that this treasure box is a treasure bestowed by the Supreme Emperor. Before the prince comes back, please take good care of it, Eunuch Zhu. Except for yourself, Eunuch Zhu, don't let anyone touch this box."
Zhu Ye; "..."
Then he can't go anywhere? ?
He originally wanted to chase Duan Qingen and take a good look at what he did outside.
Seeing his face full of disappointment, the man gritted his teeth and was extremely jealous.
The prince trusted him so much, but Zhu Ye still showed such an expression, he really didn't know how to appreciate his blessings.
If it was him, he would definitely be able to do everything the prince gave him.
Unlike this Zhu Ye...
He really did nothing, wasting the prince's trust in him.
At this moment, Zhu Ye didn't know that because of Duan Qingen's praise and supreme trust in him, as well as his own greed (not wanting to move heavy objects), the palace, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, gradually surged with undercurrents.
The current goals of these undercurrents are very consistent: kill Zhu Ye and take the throne!
As for Dexi?
A child who knows nothing and doesn't know how to fight back when being bullied by Zhu Ye, even if he has been by the prince's side, this kind of character is absolutely not a threat.
Only Zhu Ye, this guy who got the advantage and coaxed the prince to treat him as the most loyal person.
Only by eliminating him can they take the throne.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhu Ye, who was standing at the door, felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness from the bottom of his heart. He shuddered and hurried into the house.
While guarding the treasure box, he tried hard to think.
Where is the prince going with Dexi?
He has been with the prince for more than ten years, and he clearly knows that the prince has nowhere else to go.
Could it be the sweetheart that the prince mentioned to Dexi last time?
Duan Qingen did see his "sweetheart" coming. He still sat in the carriage, but walked very slowly, lifting the curtain along the way to look at the scenery outside the window.
Dexi said to the driver: "Stop at the restaurant in front, the prince wants to go in and sit."
And in the tavern opposite the restaurant, a woman dressed in men's clothes, but behaved very effeminately, entered the tavern.
