Crown Prince's Counterattack

Sima Yi put down the pen in his hand, stretched his frozen knuckles, looked at the handwriting on the white paper, and showed a satisfied smile.Although he said he had the memory of the original owner, after all, he didn't come into contact with these things often. Taking advantage of his leisure time, he had to take them out to dry, so as not to make mistakes in this aspect in the future.

Although the life in this confinement is poor, it is better than leisure, but it is a pity that he is not here for vacation.

Sima Yi glanced at the brazier two or three meters away from him. There were a few faint lights in the brazier, and he felt a slight warmth when he got close. Sima Yi suddenly stepped forward and kicked the brazier away.

Chen Gui, who was guarding the door by the loud noise in the study, was startled, his face changed, and he rushed in hastily, fearing that something might happen to his master, he was shocked even in the cold winter months when he saw the ashes scattered all over the floor. I was covered in cold sweat.

"Tell Gu, what is this carbon?"

Chen Gui looked distressed, today is different from the past, the current Crown Prince is not the original Crown Prince, and the current House of Internal Affairs is not the same as the original House of Internal Affairs.These days, there are few people sending charcoal in the snow, and too many people fall into the rocks, but how can I tell the master about this.

"This month's new carbon has not been delivered yet, it must be the end of the year, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs...is very busy"

Chen Gui said cautiously.

"Oh, is that so? Then they really are noble people who forget things too much. When do lonely things have to be ranked behind others?"

Sima Yi fiddled with the jade wrench finger in his hand, and there was a little bit of darkness in the corner of his eyes.

"It's all because of the uselessness of the old slave, which made the master feel wronged."

Chen Gui hurriedly knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his eyes showing fear, His Highness the Crown Prince was in a violent mood, now there is no other servant here except him, I just hope His Highness's anger will not be burned on him.

"Go find Wang Fu"

Wang Fu is the chief eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was very flattering to the East Palace before he lost power. Now he wants to see what kind of attitude he has now.

The Xian'an Palace is heavily guarded, and it is not strict for small eunuchs like Chen Gui, but the crux of the problem is that now that His Highness has lost power and is being ignored by the Holy Majesty, it is hard to say whether he can invite Wang Fu. A somewhat troubled expression appeared on his face.

“Not going soon”

Chen Gui had no choice but to get up from the ground, and backed out with a bitter face.

As soon as Chen Gui went out, the gloom on Sima Yi's face faded away, and his face became more thoughtful.He can only use the most normal way to remind some people of his presence. Although he knows that he will be restored, no one knows what the situation will be, so now he can't sit still.

Wang Fu straightened his clothes, and glanced at Chen Gui, who followed him step by step, with no concealment of pride on his face.In recent days, he has lived a happy life. In such a position, the favored concubines in the harem dare not neglect him at will. However, he did not expect that the famous man in front of His Royal Highness would come to him.

I think His Royal Highness the crown prince was so glorious back then, the so-called one person ascended to heaven, this Chen Gui was called arrogance back then, he was a slave eager to flatter, but he didn't care at all, but now the crown prince is abolished, Feng Shui takes turns Turns out, he still has a day to beg himself, why not make people feel proud.

Wang Fu sighed, but it's a pity that the treasures sent to the East Palace were all in vain~ Compared with the servants in other palaces like clouds, Xian'an Palace is extremely deserted, and it's the cold winter, so cold, As soon as Wang Fu came in, it was as if he had entered a cold palace.Chen Gui led him to the outside of the study and then retreated. With fewer people, he, an old man, had to do everything himself.

"The servant greets His Highness"

As soon as Wang Fu entered the door, he saw Sima Yi standing in front of the desk and writing. He took a deep breath, and the smile on his face became more and more appropriate.

"You're really nice"

Sima Yi's half-smile was not a smile, no matter how decent he was, he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes, but his demeanor was unmistakable, is it really an old man?But it's best not to be smart.

"Tell Gu, what's the matter with this carbon?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This... the quotas in each palace are limited. If other palaces take more, then there must be less. Slaves are soft-spoken. How dare they offend those favored nobles? I hope His Highness understands the slave."

Wang Fu was vigilant in his heart, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, crying and begging.

"Hehe... When will Gu have to look at other people's faces, how presumptuous!!!"

Sima Yiju looked down at Wang Fu with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Or do you feel that Gu is down and out now, so--I can't do anything to you--"

A huge force kicked him in the lower abdomen, and Wang Fu fell sideways on the ground, clutching his lower abdomen, his face was pale, and he looked at Sima Yi in horror.

There was a gust of cold wind in the empty lobby, Wang Fu fell on the cold floor, shivering, the sound of several pattering footsteps could be clearly heard in the palace, Wang Fu raised his head, and met Sima Yi's gaze two by two, he He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Your Highness forgive me, Your Highness forgive me --- the slave is powerless!"

"What a helpless one--I just don't know if the master behind you knows that you are so loyal?"

"Your Highness, what does Your Highness mean? This slave doesn't understand, what is the master behind it, have you misunderstood something?"

Wang Fu's heart was in a mess, his eyes were fixed on Sima Yi, and he tried his best to keep calm.

"Slave dog, your mouth is really tough. Do you think that Gu can't cure you now? Don't forget, no matter how poor Gu is, he is still the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and you are just a lowly slave. Say, if If I kill you alone, will someone come to help you out?"

The fragile neck was tightly grasped, and the sudden suffocation made his mind go blank. He raised his head subconsciously, panting rapidly, his face flushed red, and Wang Fu looked at Sima Yi with an uncomfortable expression.

It's not that he can't resist, but he doesn't dare to resist, just like what Sima Yi said, he is just a lowly slave, even if he dies, he can only thank his master for rewarding him, if he resists, he will end up in a more miserable end, so, he Not reconciled!

Wang Fu almost thought that he was going to die here today, but he didn't expect Sima Yi to let go of his hand suddenly, and he fell limply on the cold ground with the tears of the rest of his life still on his face.

"Death feels good, remember it"

Sima Yi stood up indifferently, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"If you want to show courteousness in front of your master, you have to think about whether you have the life to enjoy it. Therefore, you are a smart person, and you should understand what to do in the future."

"The slave understands, the slave understands—"

Wang Fu's lips trembled, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

He was confused about this matter. Even if His Royal Highness is abolished, he is still a prince. How can they be slaves who can easily offend? His Royal Highness is indeed cruel and violent. He never dared to come to Xian'an Palace again.

"Understood, then get out—"

"Ah-a-a-a"

Chen Gui, who was guarding the door, looked at Wang Fu who came out of the room with a look of surprise on his face. This is...

The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent far more than the standard amount of new carbon and some winter clothes. The meals delivered every day were also much more refined, and this winter seemed to have more vitality.

Late Night Hall of Mental Cultivation

"My lord, it's already midnight, why don't you rest?"

Liang Jiugong walked forward, followed by the little eunuch carrying tea and toilet utensils.

Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand, his eyes were a little sour, his shoulders were stiff, and his face was tired.

Liang Jiugong flirted with the little eunuch behind him, and stepped forward to rub Kangxi's shoulders himself.

"I heard—something happened to Xian'an Palace?"

Putting a warm towel on his face, the fatigue of the day eased a little. Kangxi put down the tea in his hand, and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It seems that there is a mistake in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This month's bamboo charcoal was not delivered. His Royal Highness called someone to bring it up. Now the matter has been resolved."

Liang Jiugong thought about it, and the title of Sima Yi remained unchanged. After serving Kangxi for so long, from a certain point of view, he knew the truest thoughts in his heart better than Lord Kangxi himself.

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, as if he didn't find anything wrong with Liang Jiugong's title.

"Wang Fu is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs now, I'll remove him--"

Kangxi frowned, slightly displeased.Some things are already commonplace in the harem, he can close his eyes or open them, he has watched the children grow up since he was a child, he can teach him whatever he wants, but it is not up to others to do it.

"What is the prince doing recently?"

After being silent for a while, Kangxi still couldn't help looking at Liang Jiugong.

"Listen to people's reports. The prince has been practicing calligraphy and reading in the study recently. He has never made any mistakes. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Relax? There is no time for parents to be reassured. Now that they know how to cultivate themselves, why should they be at the beginning?"

"The Holy Majesty calm down, His Highness the Crown Prince has a pure nature, I'm afraid that His Highness was deceived by his subordinates, and these things did not come from his own heart. Why doesn't Your Majesty give His Highness a chance to reform?"

Kangxi's thoughts moved, but he looked a little hesitant.

"Hmph! He is the majestic prince, the future master of the Qing Dynasty, so easily deceived, how will he govern the world in the future? Liang Jiugong, you don't have to persuade me, I have to let him reflect on it in Xian'an Palace."

Kangxi waved Liang Jiugong away with an impatient face, all the eunuchs and maids lowered their heads, and Liang Jiugong also stood silently aside.

"Let's go to Defei's place to have a look."

Kangxi calmed down and ordered Liang Jiugong to drive there, and the group walked towards the inner garden.
