The Fourth Master's Dog

Su Peisheng first tied up the little white dog's mouth with a cloth strip, picked up the tip of a pair of scissors, carefully scraped a few wounds on the little white dog's skin, picked up the remaining medicine and cloth strips used by Duofu in the box, and wrapped the dog.

When Su Peisheng just took down the scissors, he didn't dare to look into the eyes of the little white dog. He wondered if it was because the dog had been raised by Fourth Prince Yinzhen for too long.

When dealing with a creature like the little white dog, Su Peisheng couldn't help but love it and couldn't bear to be cruel to it.

Su Peisheng held the little white dog with tearful eyes in his arms and couldn't help sighing.

"Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. If you don't do this, you can't even protect your family."

"If you want to blame someone, blame him... Ninth Prince, if it weren't for him, how could Duofu be injured?"

"How could the Fourth Prince be so careless as to cut off the Ninth Prince's braid with a pair of scissors and end up like this..."

Su Peisheng didn't hesitate. He put the packed little white dog into its original food box and opened the door of the small study. There was no one outside.

Carrying the food box, he came to Duofu, the cave where he often pretended to be in Chengqian Palace.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew about this hole in the grass-covered wall since Duofu went out here for the first time. But at that time, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was eager for Duofu to go out for a run more often, and he kept him here like a piglet every day.

He just eats and sleeps, and gets fatter and fatter. There was a time when Duofu’s entire face was almost unrecognizable.

Su Peisheng pulled aside the grass in front of him, revealing a hole of moderate size. He took the little white dog out of the food box, stuffed it into the hole, and slapped the little white dog's butt hard with his palm.

The little white dog only heard a bark and ran away quickly. Su Peisheng lay on the ground and looked through the hole, but could not see the little white dog anymore.

He used the stones nearby to completely seal the hole, and then he tidied up the weeds and dead leaves on his clothes.

Su Peisheng didn't know what to do now. The Fourth Prince Yinzhen was still kneeling outside the Yangxin Palace as punishment, and there was no hope at all in the Yonghe Palace.

Su Peisheng now only dares to stay in Chengqian Palace and take a good look at Duofu, the dog raised by the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. Nothing can go wrong with this little ancestor and he must keep it hidden obediently.

Su Peisheng was afraid that Duofu would run out to find the Fourth Prince Yinzhen when he wasn't looking. If there were two Duofu outside at that time, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would not be able to escape.

The Emperor was already furious because he had cut the Ninth Prince's braid with scissors. If this kind of trick of replacing the prince with a cat happened again, Su Peisheng didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Su Peisheng's heart was beating fast, he didn't know what to do, and he hurried to the inner hall of Chengqian Palace without slowing down. Halfway there, he touched the snack on his chest, and it was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Peisheng returned to the small study of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. Now he didn't know where to go, and he didn't dare to go to Queen Tong's bedroom in broad daylight in front of so many people.

Su Peisheng planned to wait until it got darker and no one was paying attention to this place, and then bring some food to find Duofu.

Or wait until Duofu outside is caught by the Emperor's men, and no one will pay attention to the dog anymore. Then move Duofu out. It would not make sense for him to just stay there.

Outside Chengqian Palace, the sky was gloomy, as if covered by a huge gray curtain.

There was some bright light, but it was completely blocked by the clouds, leaving only a faint dim light, making people feel as if a storm was about to come at the next moment.

The wind gradually grew stronger, rustling the leaves in the palace. The branches swayed in the wind, as if telling those who were still walking outside that it was going to rain.

There was a hint of coolness in the wind, which made people shiver.

Looking up, in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, dark and unclear clouds had already gathered to form thick layers of clouds.

These clouds vary in color, some are gray, some are black, and some are dark gray.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen was still kneeling there with his pine-like back straight and his head lowered, motionless. Regardless of the tiny raindrops falling on his face, he kept thinking in his heart that Su Peisheng should have done what he had asked him to do.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt that his knees had long lost all feeling, and it was only through his strong willpower that he prevented his back from bending.

There was a sound of water drops being stepped on in the distance. The rain from the sky was getting heavier and heavier. The Fourth Prince Yinzhen had been soaked like a drowned rat. He felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

I have been working hard and thinking a lot in the past few months. I have also been in mourning and have not eaten much, only vegetarian food. I have lost a lot of weight and my old clothes are now a little too big for me.

He was kneeling there in front of people, and he looked terribly thin.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The Fourth Prince Yinzhen raised his head with an effort and saw a eunuch holding a bloody puppy wrapped in bandages.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen couldn't tell the real from the fake for a moment. He knew clearly that this was not his Duofu, but when he saw the familiar fur and the familiar bandage, he got so anxious that he couldn't catch his breath. He screamed and spit out a large mouthful of blood. He instantly lost consciousness and fell backwards.

Liang Jiugong had just returned and was about to give instructions to His Majesty. The little white dog was caught by Concubine Yi's people, and it was already dead when it was handed over to them.

When Liang Jiugong saw that the little white dog was dead, his face looked very unhappy. He wanted to take it back to the Emperor for disposal.

If she died at his hands, according to the information he had received, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen valued and loved this dog so much that there was no need for him to create a mortal enemy among the princes in the harem.

After all, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen is the Emperor's son, and is more important in the Emperor's mind than a servant like him.

Liang Jiugong's dark face immediately became extremely anxious, and his voice became very sharp.

"Quickly send someone to find the imperial physician, and bring the Fourth Prince to the side room."

Liang Jiugong ran into the Hall of Mental Cultivation in panic and reported to Kangxi inside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has vomited blood and fainted. I have sent someone to take him to the side room, but the imperial physician has not yet arrived."

A hint of anxiety appeared on Kangxi's face, which had originally had no expression.

When it started to rain outside, he was thinking that his stubborn son would have to come in and admit his mistake. However, he never expected that his fourth son was so stupid that he just knelt outside and didn't even know how to roll in.

Kangxi's face was also filled with anger. How could an emperor like him give others a way out? Although he was angry, there was still some concern in his tone.

"Why are you vomiting blood?"
