Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

That day, the prince came back very late.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, Jianzhong came forward to report that Wang Liangdi was very tired and had fallen asleep. Before going to bed, he told Jingli to wait for the prince in Lizheng Hall and to tell him in detail what happened in Daming Palace today.

The prince felt a headache: "Is there anything I must know?"

"I don't know. Jingli didn't tell me." Jianzhong felt a little aggrieved.

The prince smiled helplessly, but he could understand: "Okay, let Jing Li come. He hasn't helped me wash for a long time."

"Before going to bed, Concubine Liang heard that the prince had not returned yet, and said that you must be very tired today, so she asked for a large bucket of hot water, saying that taking a bath would help you relieve your fatigue." Jianzhong trotted after the prince's sedan chair.

The prince was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "That's good, the bath time is long, just right to listen to Jing Li talk about those trivial things."

"Liang Di said that you were not allowed to do anything at that time, and that you should relax. She also detained the imperial doctor who was going to give you a massage and asked him to wash your hair later. Liang Di said that there were too many things to do and you must be dizzy, so you should have a massage first."

Jian Zhongdao.

The prince was speechless, then laughed: "If you don't listen to me and massage me while taking a bath, I will fall asleep."

"Liang Di said that if you fell asleep, then we should get up early tomorrow and talk about it. Jing Li will not leave today, so let Eunuch Qing Hai take a rest. He and Jing Shun will keep watch for you at night."

Jian Zhongdao.

The prince looked down at the eunuch trotting beside the sedan chair, smiling but with a stern face: "Am I your master, or is Wang your master? Why do you listen to her in everything?"

"Your Highness, Master has specifically instructed that as long as it does not involve state affairs, everything from walking, sitting, lying down, eating, dressing, and sleeping should be done by Concubine Liang, not you..."

Jian Zhongdao.

The prince snorted and turned to look at Qinghai who was walking on the other side: "Is this how you teach your disciples and grandchildren?"

"In reply to your Highness, before leaving for Yi Qiu Palace, Nanny Duan pulled your ear and reminded you that, apart from government affairs, all other matters around you should be handled by Concubine Wang.

"Mammy said that she had never seen such a capable, tactful, shrewd and thoughtful housekeeper in her life..."

Qinghai lowered his head and looked at his feet as he walked on the road.

The prince handles things while sitting, lying, walking, and living.

He just stood there all the time, and even in many cases, he couldn't move while standing.

Those feet were not his when he returned every night.

But the recent period was too urgent. Unless the prince gave the order, he dared not leave his master for even a step.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for forty-three days.

Today, with the help of Wang Liangdi, perhaps he could stretch out his arms and legs in the side hall and sleep for three hours.

"Humph, you are a bunch of traitors. Wang just smiled and you all sided with her. Aren't you afraid that I will send you to Yichun Palace to accompany Jing Li and never want you again!"

The prince leaned on the sedan chair, joked casually, and gradually closed his eyes.

He was really, too tired.

"Master, Liang Di said that we must not fall asleep on the road. The wind is still cold at night. It's no joke to catch a cold now. Please wake up, let's go back to Lizheng Palace and sleep."

Jianzhong was even bold enough to put his face inside the curtain of the sedan chair.

The prince responded vaguely and tried for a long time but failed to open his eyes.

Jianzhong was a little anxious. He racked his brains for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He leaned on the side of the sedan chair and whispered, "Master, Chen Duo came this afternoon and said that he had finally completed a task that you had asked him to do for several months.

"Just don't tell anyone else. Let me wait until everything is quiet around you, then I'll quietly tell him to come see you!"

Chen Duo?

A job several months ago...

The prince suddenly opened his eyes!

"Go and tell him. I will see him first and then take a bath!"

Jianzhong responded and ran away.

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Lizheng Hall. The prince entered the hall, took off his crown and outer coat, leaving only a light inner garment. He took the casual soft silk double-breasted long gown from Qinghai and leaned on the couch.

Chen Duo rushed into the palace, and only stopped when he was still more than ten feet away from the prince, kneeling and kowtowed: "Greetings to the prince, may your highness be well."

"Hmm." The prince looked around.

When Chen Duo entered the hall, Qinghai had already tactfully led everyone in the hall to leave.

"What's the news?" the prince asked in a leisurely voice and yawned.

Chen Duo took two more steps forward, knelt on one knee next to the prince's ear, and whispered, "I have been investigating the casino in the capital, but I have never been able to find a way.

"Later, we checked the chief historian of Prince Su's palace and found that he did nothing unusual except reporting Prince Su's behavior to the nobles in the palace on a regular basis.

"Until the day before yesterday, Prince Su left the capital and ordered the chief secretary to follow him. He went home and met with someone privately at a neighbor's house.

"Then I followed the clues and found out his background."

The prince froze, and the fist on his forehead gradually clenched. "Who did he meet?"

"Prince Nan'an."

Chen Duo had no pressure in saying this name, and then he started talking eloquently, reporting the details of the chief historian one by one. It was nothing more than a story of repaying a favor and being a long-term undercover agent.

Nothing new.

The prince slowly closed his eyes, veins popped out on his forehead, and his back teeth made a slight sound.

After a while, he sneered and whispered, "What good old man, what wise king, what dandy, in short, they all have extensive friends and connections!

"If one day you want to shake the foundation of the country, it will only take a wave of your arms, haha!"

Chen Duo was silent for a while, and suddenly said softly: "Although you have abdicated, Your Majesty is still in good health.

"Even though Prince Su got into such trouble, he still got a respectable job as the emperor's inspector. If he goes out for a tour, his resume will be many times more glorious.

"If we really want to care about these things under the sun, I don't know how much more it will happen, at least for the next three to five years."

The prince's body was stiff and motionless, but his eyes suddenly opened: "What do you mean by that?!"

“I heard a proverb a while ago, which goes, if your arm is broken, hide it in your sleeve.

"So I thought that Prince Su was just a kid in his early twenties. Without people to instigate and help him, he would probably just be obedient and live a leisurely life of eating and drinking."

Chen Duo lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, and asked calmly, "The Chief Clerk is outside with Prince Su, and I am unable to reach him.

"But the Prince of Nan'an is in the capital."

The prince's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, he slowly put down his fist and turned back coldly.

The eyes of an eagle and the gaze of a wolf.

"Chen Duo, you are so brave."

"I admit my guilt!" Chen Duo fell to his knees with a bang and kowtowed.

"roll!"

Chen Duo lowered his head and quickly retreated.

Jing Li and Jing Shun, who were guarding outside the palace gate, looked at him in bewilderment as he wiped his sweat and walked away. They pushed the door open together and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to take a bath?"

"Yeah. It's finally over. Let's go take a bath!"

The prince stood up, waving his sleeves, and went to the back hall.

Following him, passing by the window, Invesco glanced out.

Two crows were pecking at each other on a branch outside the window.

quack!

Wow, wow!

What a great news, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!!!
