Uncle (19)
Zhu Ye has been feeling proud again recently.
Of course, he is not proud of how good Duan Qingen is to him, but the emperor seems to have started to ask him about Duan Qingen's recent situation frequently, and it is no longer like before, when Zhu Ye would dislike him for only talking about trivial matters when reporting daily life.
As a result, every time Zhu Ye reported, he was trembling with fear, fearing that he would be beheaded by the impatient emperor at any time.
He was also full of grievances.
Prince Yao was bored in the palace every day, eating, appreciating flowers, writing, and painting, and even going out to worship temples.
He really had no intention of rebelling, and Zhu Ye could not make up the news that Duan Qingen wanted to rebel out of thin air.
Of course, if he could make it up, he would definitely want to make it up.
After all, reporting "the prince's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating today" is not as meritorious as reporting "the prince intends to rebel".
But such things also require evidence, how could he make up evidence.
So recently, the emperor asked Zhu Ye to report Duan Qingen's daily life. Zhu Ye was very happy. Even though his waist was in trouble and he was in unbearable pain every time it was rainy, he was happy.
The emperor was happy too.
Every day, he felt relieved when he saw Zhu Ye reporting "Prince Yao was in a bad mood recently and always kept himself alone in the study" and "Prince Yao drank to relieve his sorrow today and was drunk for a day and a night" and other news.
Zhu Ye didn't know why the emperor's uncle was like this, how could he not know?
Wasn't it because of that woman?
Wan Siyuan, a woman who was fickle and had no sense of propriety and shame even though she was the daughter of an official.
Only the emperor's uncle would treat such a woman as a treasure. He was so sad that he couldn't marry her and drank to relieve his sorrow.
He really wanted to see Duan Qingen's expression when he knew that Wan Siyuan had been played by his nephew.
Unfortunately, Wan Siyuan is so disgusting. It's okay to play with such a shameless woman. The emperor doesn't plan to really give her a status. If he really gives her a status, it will make the emperor's uncle sad. But this woman is so lewd. If she makes trouble in the palace again, it will be a slap in his face.
The emperor has been treating [Duan Qingen's mood report] as a snack. Every time Zhu Ye says that Duan Qingen is unhappy today, uncomfortable tomorrow, and sighing the day after tomorrow, he feels extremely satisfied.
How can he not be satisfied?
Before his father left, he was always worried about his uncle.
As the son of his father, he always regarded suppressing his uncle as entertainment. It's a pity that his uncle is too peaceful. No matter how he suppresses him, it has no effect on Duan Qingen. He still does what he should do, and looks like he can be contented in the room every day.
He is honest and the whole capital knows it. He is also the emperor's elder. The emperor can't just find a reason to demote Duan Qingen's position as a prince.
Therefore, the emperor was a little depressed before.
But now, he is no longer depressed.
When he thought that the woman that the emperor's uncle cherished was just his plaything.
He was depressed about it, and even wanted to marry Wan Siyuan, who had been deflowered by him, the emperor was so happy.
Today, he got the news from Zhu Ye, which said that Duan Qingen planned to meet his fiancée Wan Siqing at the Lantern Festival. The emperor was not very interested and threw it aside.
Wan Siqing is just a yellow-haired girl. According to the news, Duan Qingen has no feelings for this girl. The two have never even met. It's just that he went to ask Wan Siyuan to marry him, but it was a misunderstanding. In the end, it was Wan Siqing who was decided to be the Princess of Yao.
After knowing this, the emperor granted the marriage quickly, just wanting to tie this marriage to Duan Qingen, so that he would have no way to regret it.
Originally, he didn't want to go to the Lantern Festival this year, but when he thought that Duan Qingen had met his sweetheart, and his formal fiancée was his sweetheart's sister, he could only pretend to be indifferent. In fact, he had been depressed to the point of internal injury, so the emperor changed his mind.
***
"He will definitely go to the Lantern Festival."
It is said that Yao Wang Duan Qingen, who was bored in the study, was sitting in Guigui, playing chess with the genius doctor opposite.
There are many adults who cooperate with Duan Qingen, most of whom have grudges against the emperor, or ministers who know that they will be killed by the emperor sooner or later if they sit in this position.
But the only one who really knows Duan Qingen's whole plan is this genius doctor.
The reason is of course because this genius doctor has been with Duan Qingen to treat his injuries.
And he also hates the emperor to the bone.
If there is a reason, it is probably that this emperor who likes to go incognito met a young and beautiful female doctor in the mountains. He disguised himself as a businessman, coaxed the female doctor to have sex with him, and lied to her that he would come to pick her up.
In the end, he naturally did not go.
The emperor who returned to the palace had three thousand beauties in the harem and countless wild flowers outside. It was okay to play with a female doctor occasionally, but it would be too troublesome to really take her back to the palace.
The female doctor did not know that the emperor was coaxing her, and did not even know that her lover's name was fake. She foolishly thought that something had happened to him, so she went out of the mountain to look for him, and ended up falling to death under the cliff.
This was an accident, but it was enough to make a genius doctor who had only such a close family member in his life hate the emperor to the bone.
He also made a move, and his voice was flat and indifferent. If you don't listen carefully, you really can't notice the hidden hatred in it:
"Your Highness is right. His Majesty likes to laugh at people and enjoys it. He knows that Your Highness is heartbroken for Miss Wan, so he will definitely come to watch the fun."
Duan Qingen smiled: "I just don't know who will be the one who makes the fun."
Divine Doctor: "Are you going to perform for them tonight?"
"No need."
Duan Qingen said firmly: "They can't wait for me to perform, and they will be too busy to take care of themselves."
The two did not finish the game of chess. After all, the Divine Doctor was a bad chess player. He always regretted his moves when playing chess. Duan Qingen let him go, so the game of chess would never end.
Feeling that the time was almost up, the Divine Doctor returned to his secret room and began to develop his medicine.
The relationship between him and Duan Qingen was almost like that between an employee and a boss.
The only difference was that he did not want any reward. The only thing he wanted was to unite and bring down the emperor of the other family.
After the doctor entered the secret room, Duan Qingen stood up and shouted to the outside: "Someone come."
Zhu Ye wanted to be active on the front line again during this period, so he was particularly active. When he heard him calling for help, he ran forward immediately.
Dexi didn't fight with him and followed him in.
"Your Highness."
Zhu Ye saluted. Duan Qingen was now sitting in a wheelchair like he had when he entered the room before. He raised his chin slightly and said; "Put away the chessboard."
"Yes."
Zhu Ye regretted running so fast. This chessboard was also given to his son by the Supreme Emperor, so it was also extremely precious. Every time Duan Qingen took it out and played chess with himself in the room. After the game was over, he asked someone to send it to the treasury.
It would take at least an incense stick of time for him to go to the treasury with this chessboard.
Dexi, who was behind him, had already stepped forward to help Duan Qingen change his clothes: "Prince, do you want to prepare a car?"
"Prepare a car."
Duan Qingen had his back to Zhu Ye, so Zhu Ye could not see the expression on his face, but he could guess from the low voice of His Royal Highness Yao Wang that Duan Qingen was not in a very good mood, and even a little disappointed.
This is a good thing!
Your Majesty likes to hear this!
He was happy and didn't care about the fact that he couldn't go to the Lantern Festival with him because he was going to deliver the chessboard. He carefully packed up the chessboard and retreated.
After he left, Duan Qingen turned around, with a smile on his face, and asked Dexi: "Have you been bullied by him these days?"
"Eunuch Zhu knows that the prince values me, so how dare he bully me."
Dexi's movements to change his clothes were light and fast, and his face was full of admiration for his master: "Don't worry, my prince, I've been watching him."
"I know you are smart."
Duan Qingen was very relieved.
Even though Dexi had eaten well during this period, he was still a little short, and looked like a young man. In addition, he had a good temper and smiled innocently at everyone, which made everyone feel less wary of him.
Looking at Zhu Ye alone, he was no longer the most proud person around Duan Qingen, but Dexi was. However, because of his behavior, the people in the mansion still regarded him as a thorn in their eyes to get close to Duan Qingen.
After packing up, Duan Qingen pointed out the people and left the mansion together.
His plan this time was to see the emperor laugh at his joke, so he was not prepared to act.
At the same time, he also knew that the emperor came out just to see his joke.
Sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the noisy sounds outside, Duan Qingen lifted the curtain and looked at the restaurant, and suddenly said: "In a while, the people from Wanfu will pass by here."
Dexi quickly replied: "Yes, there is only one way for Wanfu to go to the Lantern Festival."
Duan Qingen nodded and added a sentence in his heart.
But not only the people of Wanfu have to go through here, but also those who want to go from the palace to the Lantern Festival have to take this road. Even if the emperor is the master of the world, he can't just fly over there out of thin air.
He thought clearly and sat down in the restaurant next door.
"Just take a break here."
Dexi knew a lot of things, and there were also a lot of things that Dexi didn't know, so he just thought that Duan Qingen just wanted to sit here and see the girls from Wanfu.
The Lantern Festival did not allow sedan chairs to enter, and the girls walked there on foot, so if the prince wanted to see his fiancée here, it would be very simple.
Duan Qingen sat there, and sure enough, the girls from Wanfu came after a while.
At the same time, he also saw the emperor sitting in the restaurant, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing the right opportunity, he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.
Immediately, the assassins in black rushed up.
A loud voice almost immediately broke through the sky:
"Protect the emperor!!!"
With this voice, the surrounding people and pedestrians panicked. After a while, the emperor was escorted downstairs by his servants.
He was in a panic, and suddenly he seemed to feel something and raised his eyes.
Just met Wan Siyuan's surprised and frightened expression.
