Chapter 618: Seeing Things Recalling People
Seeing the Prince's Mansion gradually hidden in the wind and snow, Sun Shaozong lowered the curtain of the carriage and let out a long sigh of anger.
To say that he spoke frankly in front of the prince just now, he could be said to have made frank remarks, especially the saying "birds of a feather flock together", which could be said to have hit the prince's sore spot.
However, precisely because he knew that this was the prince's weak spot, Sun Shaozong chose to target those eunuchs as his first target after returning to Beijing.
This is because from the letters, Sun Shaozong had long discovered that the reason why the prince was close to the eunuchs was not because he really relied on them, but because of his deep inferiority complex, which made him feel that only these eunuchs would not have any disrespectful thoughts towards him.
Sun Shaozong took advantage of this point and fabricated the saying "birds of a feather flock together" to touch the most sensitive inferiority complex in the prince's heart.
This made him conclude that continuing to rely on these eunuchs would only make more people think of the fact that he had no eggs.
It will even affect his ascension to the throne and his subsequent ambitions!
Comparing these two options, it is self-evident what choice the prince will make.
Alas~
It's really not easy to be a "loyal minister"!
But there is really no better choice right now.
Originally, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to leave Beijing in order to stay away from the drama of the fight for the throne - who would have thought that after two years away, the drama was far from over.
Not only that, the prince also spread the word openly and secretly, as if he was his right-hand man.
Even if he wanted to distance himself from the matter now, it would not be so easy - besides, although the crown prince was a bit useless, he had an innate advantage in the fight for the throne. It really did not make sense for Sun Shaozong to choose this time to fall out with the crown prince.
However, in order to prevent possible risks, Sun Shaozong decided that while assisting the crown prince, he would try his best to act like a "loyal and honest minister" - first build up a good reputation, so that if any accidents really happened in the future, it would be easier to change the rudder.
In the Prince's Mansion, these little eunuchs who have already gained a bad reputation are naturally the best sacrifices for boosting reputation.
"master."
Suddenly, the coachman Zhang Cheng called out. Sun Shaozong thought something was wrong, so he stuck his head out and heard him ask, "The snow is getting heavier. Should we go back home first, or rush to Rongguo Mansion?"
"Of course, we're going to Rongguo Mansion!"
Sun Shaozong ordered: "Otherwise, if the snow piles up all over the ground, it will be even more troublesome to go out."
"Okay!"
Zhang Cheng responded loudly, waved his whip, and accelerated the carriage into the snow.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
But it is said that during this time of wind and snow, Crown Princess Sun Shuyi was alone, gazing at the red plum blossoms in the courtyard from the window. Her graceful and elegant features were filled with an inextricable sorrow.
A few days ago, because she trespassed into the study, the crown prince became furious and even ordered a few eunuchs to kick her out without any explanation.
The prince's scolding was not a big deal, after all, the husband is the leader of the wife and the king is the leader of the ministers, and Sun has gradually gotten used to it over the years.
But the rude offense of those young eunuchs made Sun Shuyi deeply hate them.
A few despicable and shameless creatures, even if they were instructed by the prince, it would have been enough for them to just pretend, but they actually dared to touch me!
Whenever she recalled the day when those eunuchs grabbed her arms and dragged her away, the Crown Princess felt angry and disgusted. She wished she could kill those bastards with a stick herself to relieve the hatred in her heart.
"My lady."
Just as he was feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard a maid behind him cautiously ask: "The bathtub is ready, please see..."
The Crown Princess withdrew her gaze and closed the window to block out the snowy scene outside. Then she stood up from the couch and followed the maid to the hall outside.
Several pots of smokeless silver frost charcoal had already been burning in the hall, and it was as warm as if it was early summer.
The Crown Princess said nothing and stretched out her arms. Two maids came forward and skillfully peeled off her green velvet and purple gauze dress, revealing her fair and white figure.
Two maids came in front and behind, stepping on the embroidered cushion to take off the rings and red hairpins, leaving the shiny hair to fall on her icy skin.
Seeing that only her bellyband and embroidered shoes were left, a maid was about to untie the laces, but the Crown Princess suddenly reached into the bathtub and tried it, and said calmly: "It's a little hot, add two buckets of cold water."
Even though they were almost naked, her words still revealed an awe-inspiring and inviolable nobleness.
Upon hearing this, one of the maids hurriedly took a ladle, scooped a spoonful of well water from the bucket, and was about to pour it into the bathtub.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door outside. The maid was startled and shook her wrist, spilling a lot of water on the edge of the bathtub.
Some of it even splashed onto the Crown Princess's bellyband.
The servant girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and was about to beg for mercy, but she heard the man outside shouting, "Madam, Madam, the eunuchs around the prince have all been beaten to death!"
"What?!"
The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered the maid to put a bath towel on her, and then ordered her attendants to open the door.
Seeing a maid stumbling in, she asked anxiously, "Is what you just said true?!"
"It's absolutely true, my lady!"
The maid was panting and said excitedly, "Just now, the Minister of the Wang Mansion secretly took me over to check. Several young eunuchs were lying in the snow in all directions. Their bodies were already cold!"
"How could this be?!"
The Crown Princess's chest rose and fell rapidly, almost as if the bath towel was about to burst open. Her two phoenix eyes were full of energy, and she trembled as she asked, "Could it be... Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
The maid nodded hurriedly: "It is the order of the Crown Prince!"
“Ah~”
The Crown Princess cried out softly and felt her chest burning with heat. She thought to herself that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed in tune with her. Knowing that she hated those eunuchs, he beat them to death with a stick without mercy!
She was so excited that she wanted to dress up immediately and go to the prince to talk about her love for him.
The only pity is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer humane, otherwise I would definitely...
Just as he was thinking about something indescribable, he suddenly heard the maidservant say, "It is said that Lord Sun advised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that those eunuchs were too arrogant, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beat them to death!"
"Lord Sun?"
The Crown Princess's joy suddenly diminished by 99%.
It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not do this for his own sake, but because of Lord Sun's advice...
Well, this is what I expected Lord Sun to do. Now that I have achieved my wish, what is there to complain about?
Although I thought so, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
So the Crown Princess waved her hand dejectedly, told the maids to remove the bath water, and then went back to the inner room.
Since that day, she felt that her body was defiled, so she washed three to five times a day. Now that those young eunuchs have been beaten to death, this habit is naturally dispensable.
But the Crown Princess went into the inner room, and because her bellyband was quite wet, she opened the wardrobe and wanted to take out a close-fitting garment.
Who would have thought that when she casually rummaged around, she found a black and purple lace hollow bra.
This is exactly the one that Sun Shaozong had seen before!
After that incident, the Crown Princess had all the rest of her underwear replaced.
But this one was not suitable to be seen by others, so I quietly put it at the bottom of the box.
Now, seeing the bra reminded her of the person, and recalling the thought of "mutual understanding" just now, the Crown Princess's face immediately turned red, and she quickly stuffed the bra back into the box.
Just as he was about to slam the lid shut, he suddenly remembered the prince's ruthlessness a few days ago...
She bit her lips tightly and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned around and locked the door. She suppressed her fear and said loudly, "I am a little tired and need to sleep for a while. If there is nothing important, please don't disturb me."
After receiving a respectful response from outside, the Crown Princess moved back to the closet step by step and tremblingly took out the bra.
She held the shameless object in her hand and stared at it for a long while, then she gritted her teeth, walked quickly to the bed, took down the red luan curtain, spread out the mandarin duck quilt, buried her delicate body in it, took off all the shackles, and wrapped the object that only women of romance used tightly around her body!
There are words and half missing:
The girl from the rooftop is locked up in Penglai Courtyard, and people are taking a nap in the painted hall in silence.
The pillow shines with green clouds, and the embroidered clothes smell of strange fragrance.
The pearl lock moved secretly, awakening me from my dream...
