Prince is good or bad
Chapter 7
Riding his horse to the foot of Yinyun Mountain, Mu Zongying looked up anxiously. The entire Yinyun Mountain was surrounded by white mist, and the top of the mountain could not be seen clearly.
"Ye Xiuquan, where are you!" He opened his mouth and yelled, all the birds around were startled and flew around.
But in the mountains, apart from birdsong, there is only an echo, and the horse under its crotch has been galloping for several miles, and it is continuously emitting hot air from its nose, stepping restlessly.
It was inconvenient to walk through the forest on a horse, so Mu Zongying simply got off the horse and walked to the depths on foot, while the guards behind him hurriedly followed.
The group traveled through the mountains and forests for two hours, and finally a guard found a clue in the grass on the top of the mountain, but it almost made Mu Zongying faint...
"This is the Thunder God Needle I gave him." After receiving the cowhide pouch from the guard, he was flustered.
Looking down and looking around, I saw a few messy footprints among the grass, extending all the way to the cliff.
Ye Xiuquan's Sky Thunder God Needle landed here, there is only one possibility...
Ye Xiuquan fell off a cliff!
He immediately ran to the cliff and looked down, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.I saw a rock platform about two feet below the cliff, on which a person was faintly visible, but I couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly.
Several guards immediately went down the cliff with light skills, and brought the man on the rock back to the cliff.
After being rescued, Mu Zongying saw that it was Ye Xiuquan whom he had been looking for for a long time.
At this time, Ye Xiuquan's eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, his face was as pale as paper, his clothes were in tatters, no matter how he called, he didn't respond.
Mu Zongying immediately hugged him in his arms, and the guards around him wanted to step forward to help, but he stared back coldly.
"Go back to the palace!"
Mu Zongying rode his horse and galloped all the way, even forgetting the rule that horses are not allowed in the Forbidden Palace, and galloped towards the East Palace.
Before entering the palace gate, he yelled loudly, causing the entire East Palace to be in chaos.
"What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and tell the imperial physician." Hugging the person in her arms, Mu Zongying jumped off the horse, roaring angrily while running to the bedroom, and put Ye Xiuquan on the bed.
After a lot of fuss, the old doctor was finally called in. After some diagnosis and treatment, he said that Ye Xiuquan was fine, but he was hit hard on the head and some blood bruises persisted, so he fell into a coma. After the injection He prescribed another dose of medicine and told him to take a good rest, and he would wake up after a while.
The old doctor was about to get up when he suddenly noticed that Ye Xiuquan's right hand was tightly clenched, which was unusual. "Your Highness, he seems to be holding something in his hand."
Mu Zongying stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, she saw that Ye Xiuquan seemed to be holding something in her tightly clenched fist. She reached out to pull it, but she couldn't pull it away.
After several failed attempts, Mu Zongying had no choice but to whisper in his ear: "Brother Quan, show Zongying your hand."
As soon as the words were finished, Ye Xiuquan suddenly let go of his fist, and everyone saw that what he was holding in his hand was a strange medicinal herb. The pale yellow petals were delicate and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance.
The old doctor took the herb in his hand, looked at it carefully and said: "This is Yinxingcao."
"What's the use of yin grass?" Mu Zongying asked.
Ye Xiuquan obviously fell off the cliff because he wanted to pick it. He would risk his life for such a small grass. What is this thing for?
"Although this herb is rare, it is of little use. The old minister only heard that it can be used as a medicine for an ancient prescription." The old doctor saw a piece of paper protruding from Ye Xiuquan's skirt with sharp eyes, and stretched out his hand to draw the paper into his hand and thin it Look, nodding frequently.
"It's this prescription. This prescription is not very useful, it's just to nourish the body, but it's very useful for people who are constantly worrying about it." After looking at it for a while, the old doctor stuffed the prescription back into Ye Xiuquan's arms, The smart point goes to the end.
Worrying?Apart from him, there was no one else around Ye Xiuquan.
It is conceivable that the Yinxingcao was picked for him!
After thinking about this, Mu Zongying had mixed feelings in his heart. After the palace servants sent the old doctor away, he sat on the edge of the bed, without saying a word, just staring blankly at the sleeping person.
Ye Xiuquan was in a coma for a day and a night, and Mu Zongying also stayed by the bed in confusion, her heart was in a mess.
"Your Highness, even if you don't sleep, at least you should eat something." A palace maid held a bowl of lily and white fungus porridge, persuading her earnestly.
"Take it away." Mu Zongying reprimanded him coldly without raising his eyes.
"Your Highness, you can't go on like this. Even if Mr. Ye wakes up, you will fall down too." The palace man still persuasively persuaded.
"If you don't leave, I will cut off your head." The voice in the ear made Mu Zongying, who was already a little irritable, even more unable to control his temper.
He didn't know why he stayed here. Whenever he wanted to stand up, his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't move a step.
Even knowing that he was here was useless, he still couldn't walk away, his mind was full of the unconscious person on the bed.
"Your Highness..."
"Enough, get out." Mu Zongying couldn't bear it any longer, and roared.
"It's so noisy..." Moans as thin as mosquitoes came from the bedside, almost inaudible, but fell into Mu Zongying's ears clearly.
He looked down, Ye Xiuquan's right hand resting on the bed moved slightly twice.
"Brother Quan, it's me, I'm here." Mu Zongying, who was inexplicably excited, immediately grabbed his hand firmly.
"Hmm... my head hurts..." Eyelids moved, Ye Xiuquan finally woke up, but Mu Zongying's haggard face from exhaustion was what he saw.
"You are..." Frowning, he weakly wanted to ask what happened to him.
"Does the headache hurt?" Seeing his frown, Mu Zongying immediately asked nervously.
"There's a little more, but it doesn't matter... By the way, where are my herbs?" Thinking of something, Ye Xiuquan realized that his palm was empty, and the Yin Xingcao that he had picked so hard was gone.
"Don't worry, I have ordered someone to collect the Yin Xingcao."
"That's good..." The hard work was finally not in vain, he let out a sigh of relief.
It’s quite surprising to say it, I finally climbed to the top of the cliff at midnight, and I wanted to reach out to pick the shady grass, but a long snake suddenly appeared in the grass, with a triangular head, and kept spitting out red letters. Extremely poisonous.
In order to avoid the poisonous snake, he dodged to the left, but he slipped and fell off the cliff just like that...
"You went to the mountain just to pick grass?" Mu Zongying stared firmly into his eyes, and asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
"Yeah, I wanted to come back that night, but I fell off the cliff and made you worry." He didn't tell Zongying that he was going to Yinyun Mountain, just because he was afraid that he would be worried. If he told him that he went up the mountain because of him, Zongying might It will be even more difficult for Ying Xin.
"You idiot, why do you want to go alone? It's so dangerous there! You know I've been worried all day and night!" With a sour nose, Mu Zongying's eye circles turned red, and he roared unabashedly.
He really didn't know how to scold him, it turned out that what the old doctor said was true, Ye Xiuquan went to pick herbs and fell off the cliff because of him...
But Mu Zongying's roar did not scare Ye Xiuquan, because he saw the worry and distress in Zongying's eyes.
"Zongying, I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat?" Realizing that she lost her composure again, Mu Zongying pursed her thin lips, even her tone was a little stiff.
"I'm not picky eaters, I can eat anything."
Mu Zongying left without saying a word, but didn't come back, but ordered the maid to bring hot porridge, Ye Xiuquan didn't take it seriously, and only regarded him as dealing with the accumulated political affairs.
With the bright moon in the sky, Mu Zongying returned to the palace after finishing dealing with the backlog of political affairs during this period. He quietly walked to the bed and stared at Ye Xiuquan who was sleeping soundly.
Under the candlelight, Ye Xiuquan's face was pale, and he still seemed a little weak. He reached out to touch Ye Xiuquan's face, but the moment he touched it, he retracted as if being scalded.
After hesitating for a while, he still turned around and left, but he was obviously in a daze, and when he walked out of the bedroom, he almost bumped into the palace guard outside the door.
Walking quickly to the study, he lay on the soft couch, feeling tossing and turning sleepless.
"What's wrong with me?"
He tried his best not to think about Ye Xiuquan, but when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of that person, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
"I can't go on like this. When it's time to do something, how can I be so cruel?!"
At night, he couldn't sleep all the time. The bloodless face of his mother and concubine Zhen, as well as Zhenmao's words, kept lingering in his ears, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded in the silent room.
"Mommy, why are you here?!" Seeing Nanny Zhen suddenly appearing in front of him, he was a little surprised.
"I have news, Feng Wanqiu has returned to Beijing." Nanny Zhen touched his thin cheek, took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You mean, we're going to do it?"
"Exactly. Your Highness must not soften your heart." Mother Zhen reminded in a deep voice as if she saw something.
"I understand, Mammy, go back." He waved his hand, exhausted, and he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
Ye Xiuquan just woke up after falling off the cliff, would it be too cruel to hit him at this time?
If this is the case, it will indeed give Feng Wanqiu a heavy blow, but such a result is not what he wants to see...
"Your Highness, Feng Wanqiu is the murderer who killed the empress, don't let the empress die with regret!"
"Enough, I have my own measure." With a loud roar, his heart was completely confused.
This was the first time in history that Mu Zongying lost his temper with his nanny. After yelling, he regretted it, but he couldn't take back the words.
"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much." Mother Zhen stepped back with tears in her eyes.
The apology was in her mouth, but Mu Zongying couldn't say it, she could only look at her apologetically.
He knew that Nanny did this for his mother and concubine, besides his mother and concubine, Zhenmao was the one who loved him the most when he was a child. After his mother's concubine passed away, he even regarded her as his second mother.
"Your Highness is not wrong, it's because the slaves are too impatient, let the crown prince decide everything." After saying that, Madam Zhen bowed, turned and retreated, leaving only Mu Zongying who was distressed, alone in the room to meditate with.
In order to calm himself down, Mu Zongying didn't look for Ye Xiuquan for a few days, but even if he didn't go to see him, the figure of that person still popped up in his mind from time to time, and he seemed to hear his warm greetings in his ears, making him Mu Zongying couldn't calm down no matter what, so she had to take a walk in the garden in boredom.
As he walked, he thought about what had happened in the past few days, and unknowingly, he walked under the tree where he and Ye Xiuquan first met.
Looking at the already tall tree, he remembered the first time the two met that year, and he had a good impression of the gentle and kind Ye Xiuquan at the first sight, and he just wanted to get close to him and act like a baby in his arms.
Since when did the pure love change, and hatred was added?
Ye Xiuquan was still Ye Xiuquan, the person who cared about him, comforted him, and worried about his body.
But he has changed.
If it wasn't for Feng Wanqiu killing his mother and concubine, none of this would have happened!If you want to blame, you can only blame Feng Wanqiu, and Ye Xiu's fate of being the adopted son of his enemy!
"His Royal Highness, I didn't expect that I would be honored to meet you who are so honorable just after stepping into the palace." Suddenly, a teasing male voice came from behind, and Mu Zongying squinted his eyes and turned his head.
I saw that the visitor was wearing a golden crown, dressed in black brocade clothes, and a translucent jade pendant hung from his waist. His temples were cut like knives, his eyebrows were like sword edges, and he looked like a handsome young man.
"It's better to say what is the wind blowing today, you are so busy that you have time to enter the palace?" He mocked with a cold face.Lu Zongting, his uncle's youngest son, is a minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he is good-looking, he is a sleazy and ignorant dude, and he especially likes to play with beautiful boys.
He has never had a good impression of this cousin, and he only talks to him for the sake of his uncle.
"Hey, my brother was ordered by my mother to send some pastries ordered by Nanny Zhen. You also know that since Concubine Shu was still alive, I have loved pastries made by my mother the most. It's almost here, Mother Zhen specially sent someone to ask my mother to prepare it. But it seems that the minister came at an inappropriate time, His Royal Highness seems to be in a bad mood?" Lu Zongting looked him up and down with a playful look, and was about to say something more What, a male voice interrupted him.
"Zongying."
The two looked back, only to see Ye Xiuquan in Tsing Yi walking with a smile on his face.
Seeing him, Mu Zongying frowned unhappily, and went forward to hold his hand, "I'm not well, what are you doing here?"
Ye Xiuquan smiled faintly, "I'm so bored in the room, I'm going out for a walk. I haven't seen you for a while, are you busy with political affairs recently?"
He only had Mu Zongying in his eyes, and he didn't notice the strange man standing aside and staring at him with a full face of surprise.
"Yes... yes." Hearing his question, Mu Zongying bit the bullet and answered.
He is not busy with political affairs, the things that should be dealt with have already been dealt with, but he is just annoyed, so he has been avoiding him.
Ye Xiuquan nodded slowly, took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to him. "You take this and take one every night."
"What is this?" Mu Zongying stared at the jade box, but did not reach out to pick it up.
"The pills I just made are good for your body, go get busy, I'm going back to my room." Putting the box into his hands, Ye Xiuquan left without looking back.
"..." Holding the jade box in her hand, Mu Zongying's thick eyebrows were knotted.
He didn't want to take Ye Xiuquan's stuff anymore, Ye Xiuquan was too kind to him, if this continues, sooner or later, his heart will fall...
"Your Highness, who is he?" Lu Zongting stared in the direction Ye Xiuquan left. If Mu Zongying wasn't there, he might have chased after him.
Such a beautiful person is rare in the world, and none of the male favourites in his family is as good as a beauty. No matter what, he must get this beauty!
He began to thank Mother Zhen for appointing him to send pastries to the palace, otherwise such a beautiful person would have been missed in vain?
"He is a doctor invited by the palace." Putting the jade box into her arms, Mu Zongying replied coldly.
He couldn't understand this cousin's temperament very well. Judging from his appearance, he must have taken a fancy to Ye Xiuquan.
"Your Highness, can you give him to your younger brother?" Lu Zongting rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.
"Give it to you?" Mu Zongying narrowed his eagle eyes, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart.This person actually wanted Ye Xiuquan from him?
"That's right, such a handsome person is really rare, but if His Highness is reluctant, my younger brother will naturally not dare to force it."
"Hmph." Mu Zongying snorted coldly, and was about to refuse, but suddenly a thought flashed through her mind—this might be a chance to get rid of Ye Xiuquan.
He was always worried that if he stayed by Ye Xiuquan's side again, he would develop feelings for him one day. If he was reluctant to do so, all his painstaking plans over the past few years would be in vain, and he would not be able to avenge his mother and concubine.
Although it was not his original intention to strike so early, the situation has gradually slipped out of his control at this time, why not take this opportunity and use Lu Zongting to deal a painful blow to Ye Xiuquan!
Thinking of this, Mu Zongying smiled at the disappointed Lu Zongting, "You are my cousin, you are just a doctor. How can I be reluctant to send you over in a few days."
Feng Wanqiu has already returned, if he knew that Ye Xiuquan had been reduced to Lu Zongting's confinement, he would definitely be in great pain, and secondly, he didn't have to see that person often to make himself upset.
"Then I would like to thank the crown prince for the reward." Lu Zongting thanked him again and again with beaming eyebrows.
But looking at his appearance, Mu Zongying felt panicked in his heart, and a soreness welled up in his heart, which made him perfunctory a few words with an unhappy face, and then left quickly.
Three days later, Mu Zongying took advantage of a meal and drugged Ye Xiuquan's wine, and when he was fascinated, he sent someone to send Ye Xiuquan to Lu's residence.
"Where am I?" Ye Xiuquan woke up slowly after the medicine was over, blinked his misty eyes and looked around, but found that this place was not the prince's bedroom he was familiar with, but a strange room.
I remember that during dinner at night, under Zong Ying's persuasion, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and soon he felt dizzy and unconscious. When he woke up, he was in a strange place.
"You're awake." The door was opened, and a man in jade crown and brocade clothes came in, looking at him with a smile.
"You... who are you?" Ye Xiuquan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He is obviously in the East Palace, but this person has the guts to rob him out, I don't know what his intentions are.
If Zongying finds out that he is missing, he will definitely come out to look for him. As long as he delays, Zongying will definitely come to rescue him.
Seeing his guarded face, Lu Zongting couldn't help but find it amused. All the petites in his house, when they saw him, were either trembling or flattering him. He had never met someone like Ye Xiuquan. "Me? I'm Lu Zongting, an official of the imperial court, and I'm related to the current crown prince. Tsk, tsk, tsk! As expected of the beauty that the official likes, it's courageous to be able to remain calm under such circumstances."
"Bold, I am a person in the womb of the crown prince, how dare you take me away, be careful that your head will be lost." Ye Xiuquan yelled angrily.
"Haha, a beauty is a beauty, and she is so charming when she is angry. To tell you the truth, it was the prince's cousin who gave you to me." Lu Zongting stretched out his hand to catch his chin, and Lu Zongting laughed loudly.
He originally thought that the prince would not agree, but he finally agreed and sent the man here. Although it was a broken shoe that the prince didn't want, it would be a lot of fun to enjoy the body that the future emperor would personally train.
"Nonsense, you're lying to me, Zong Ying wouldn't do that." Ye Xiuquan's face was bloodless, trying to break free from Lu Zongting's restraint, trying to stay away from this apprentice.
He remembered that he had seen this person a few days ago, when he was standing beside Zongying.
Now hearing him call Zongying his cousin, could it be that Zongying really gave herself to this person?
No, he didn't believe it, Zongying would never do this, absolutely impossible!
"What's the point of me lying to you? You are obedient and obedient. Maybe when I am happy, I will make you a male concubine, and you can wear gold and silver, eat sweets and drink spicy food." Lu Zongting, who was eager to hug a beauty, took advantage of him in a daze At that time, he was suddenly pressed down on the bed, and his hands were raised and lowered.
"Stop, stop!" Ye Xiuquan struggled frantically, but with his powerless hands, he was no match for Lu Zongting who had practiced martial arts.
After a while, the long gown was torn off, and the middle clothes were also in a mess, revealing the snow-white skin, and the tied bun had long since been untied, and the long hair fell loose like black ink.
"You obediently obeyed my official. The cousin of the crown prince said that you can't drink well. If you don't obey, I will drink you. If you are drunk, you will be obedient." Lu Zongting was panting while suppressing Ye Xiuquan who was struggling madly. Said gruffly.
"Zongying...it's not true..." He was stunned by these words, and crystal tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
He seldom drank in front of people, and only a few close people knew that he was a poor drinker, and the man in front of him spoke so convincingly, who should he trust...
"Okay, I will treat you well, why are you crying?" Seeing that he no longer struggled, Lu Zongting relaxed his vigilance, thinking that he was dead.
At this moment, Ye Xiuquan raised her foot and kicked him between his legs with all her strength.
"Ah!" With a cry of pain, Lu Zongting immediately fell to the side while clutching his lower body.
The panicked Ye Xiuquan quickly jumped out of bed, opened the door, and rushed out in a panic. Fortunately, the nearby guards had already transferred the anxious Lu Zongting away, so that he was able to escape the door without any danger.
As soon as he rushed out of Lu's mansion, he ran towards the palace, full of tears, he only wanted to see Mu Zongying, and wanted to hear him prove that what Lu Zongting said was not true.
"Ye Xiuquan, where are you!" He opened his mouth and yelled, all the birds around were startled and flew around.
But in the mountains, apart from birdsong, there is only an echo, and the horse under its crotch has been galloping for several miles, and it is continuously emitting hot air from its nose, stepping restlessly.
It was inconvenient to walk through the forest on a horse, so Mu Zongying simply got off the horse and walked to the depths on foot, while the guards behind him hurriedly followed.
The group traveled through the mountains and forests for two hours, and finally a guard found a clue in the grass on the top of the mountain, but it almost made Mu Zongying faint...
"This is the Thunder God Needle I gave him." After receiving the cowhide pouch from the guard, he was flustered.
Looking down and looking around, I saw a few messy footprints among the grass, extending all the way to the cliff.
Ye Xiuquan's Sky Thunder God Needle landed here, there is only one possibility...
Ye Xiuquan fell off a cliff!
He immediately ran to the cliff and looked down, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.I saw a rock platform about two feet below the cliff, on which a person was faintly visible, but I couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly.

If this is the case, it will indeed give Feng Wanqiu a heavy blow, but such a result is not what he wants to see...
"Your Highness, Feng Wanqiu is the murderer who killed the empress, don't let the empress die with regret!"
"Enough, I have my own measure." With a loud roar, his heart was completely confused.
This was the first time in history that Mu Zongying lost his temper with his nanny. After yelling, he regretted it, but he couldn't take back the words.
"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much." Mother Zhen stepped back with tears in her eyes.
The apology was in her mouth, but Mu Zongying couldn't say it, she could only look at her apologetically.
He knew that Nanny did this for his mother and concubine, besides his mother and concubine, Zhenmao was the one who loved him the most when he was a child. After his mother's concubine passed away, he even regarded her as his second mother.
"Your Highness is not wrong, it's because the slaves are too impatient, let the crown prince decide everything." After saying that, Madam Zhen bowed, turned and retreated, leaving only Mu Zongying who was distressed, alone in the room to meditate with.
In order to calm himself down, Mu Zongying didn't look for Ye Xiuquan for a few days, but even if he didn't go to see him, the figure of that person still popped up in his mind from time to time, and he seemed to hear his warm greetings in his ears, making him Mu Zongying couldn't calm down no matter what, so she had to take a walk in the garden in boredom.
As he walked, he thought about what had happened in the past few days, and unknowingly, he walked under the tree where he and Ye Xiuquan first met.
Looking at the already tall tree, he remembered the first time the two met that year, and he had a good impression of the gentle and kind Ye Xiuquan at the first sight, and he just wanted to get close to him and act like a baby in his arms.
Since when did the pure love change, and hatred was added?
Ye Xiuquan was still Ye Xiuquan, the person who cared about him, comforted him, and worried about his body.
But he has changed.
If it wasn't for Feng Wanqiu killing his mother and concubine, none of this would have happened!If you want to blame, you can only blame Feng Wanqiu, and Ye Xiu's fate of being the adopted son of his enemy!
"His Royal Highness, I didn't expect that I would be honored to meet you who are so honorable just after stepping into the palace." Suddenly, a teasing male voice came from behind, and Mu Zongying squinted his eyes and turned his head.
I saw that the visitor was wearing a golden crown, dressed in black brocade clothes, and a translucent jade pendant hung from his waist. His temples were cut like knives, his eyebrows were like sword edges, and he looked like a handsome young man.
"It's better to say what is the wind blowing today, you are so busy that you have time to enter the palace?" He mocked with a cold face.Lu Zongting, his uncle's youngest son, is a minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he is good-looking, he is a sleazy and ignorant dude, and he especially likes to play with beautiful boys.
He has never had a good impression of this cousin, and he only talks to him for the sake of his uncle.
"Hey, my brother was ordered by my mother to send some pastries ordered by Nanny Zhen. You also know that since Concubine Shu was still alive, I have loved pastries made by my mother the most. It's almost here, Mother Zhen specially sent someone to ask my mother to prepare it. But it seems that the minister came at an inappropriate time, His Royal Highness seems to be in a bad mood?" Lu Zongting looked him up and down with a playful look, and was about to say something more What, a male voice interrupted him.
"Zongying."
The two looked back, only to see Ye Xiuquan in Tsing Yi walking with a smile on his face.
Seeing him, Mu Zongying frowned unhappily, and went forward to hold his hand, "I'm not well, what are you doing here?"
Ye Xiuquan smiled faintly, "I'm so bored in the room, I'm going out for a walk. I haven't seen you for a while, are you busy with political affairs recently?"
He only had Mu Zongying in his eyes, and he didn't notice the strange man standing aside and staring at him with a full face of surprise.
"Yes... yes." Hearing his question, Mu Zongying bit the bullet and answered.
He is not busy with political affairs, the things that should be dealt with have already been dealt with, but he is just annoyed, so he has been avoiding him.
Ye Xiuquan nodded slowly, took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to him. "You take this and take one every night."
"What is this?" Mu Zongying stared at the jade box, but did not reach out to pick it up.
"The pills I just made are good for your body, go get busy, I'm going back to my room." Putting the box into his hands, Ye Xiuquan left without looking back.
"..." Holding the jade box in her hand, Mu Zongying's thick eyebrows were knotted.
He didn't want to take Ye Xiuquan's stuff anymore, Ye Xiuquan was too kind to him, if this continues, sooner or later, his heart will fall...
"Your Highness, who is he?" Lu Zongting stared in the direction Ye Xiuquan left. If Mu Zongying wasn't there, he might have chased after him.
Such a beautiful person is rare in the world, and none of the male favourites in his family is as good as a beauty. No matter what, he must get this beauty!
He began to thank Mother Zhen for appointing him to send pastries to the palace, otherwise such a beautiful person would have been missed in vain?
"He is a doctor invited by the palace." Putting the jade box into her arms, Mu Zongying replied coldly.
He couldn't understand this cousin's temperament very well. Judging from his appearance, he must have taken a fancy to Ye Xiuquan.
"Your Highness, can you give him to your younger brother?" Lu Zongting rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.
"Give it to you?" Mu Zongying narrowed his eagle eyes, and an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart.This person actually wanted Ye Xiuquan from him?
"That's right, such a handsome person is really rare, but if His Highness is reluctant, my younger brother will naturally not dare to force it."
"Hmph." Mu Zongying snorted coldly, and was about to refuse, but suddenly a thought flashed through her mind—this might be a chance to get rid of Ye Xiuquan.
He was always worried that if he stayed by Ye Xiuquan's side again, he would develop feelings for him one day. If he was reluctant to do so, all his painstaking plans over the past few years would be in vain, and he would not be able to avenge his mother and concubine.
Although it was not his original intention to strike so early, the situation has gradually slipped out of his control at this time, why not take this opportunity and use Lu Zongting to deal a painful blow to Ye Xiuquan!
Thinking of this, Mu Zongying smiled at the disappointed Lu Zongting, "You are my cousin, you are just a doctor. How can I be reluctant to send you over in a few days."
Feng Wanqiu has already returned, if he knew that Ye Xiuquan had been reduced to Lu Zongting's confinement, he would definitely be in great pain, and secondly, he didn't have to see that person often to make himself upset.
"Then I would like to thank the crown prince for the reward." Lu Zongting thanked him again and again with beaming eyebrows.
But looking at his appearance, Mu Zongying felt panicked in his heart, and a soreness welled up in his heart, which made him perfunctory a few words with an unhappy face, and then left quickly.
Three days later, Mu Zongying took advantage of a meal and drugged Ye Xiuquan's wine, and when he was fascinated, he sent someone to send Ye Xiuquan to Lu's residence.
"Where am I?" Ye Xiuquan woke up slowly after the medicine was over, blinked his misty eyes and looked around, but found that this place was not the prince's bedroom he was familiar with, but a strange room.
I remember that during dinner at night, under Zong Ying's persuasion, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and soon he felt dizzy and unconscious. When he woke up, he was in a strange place.
"You're awake." The door was opened, and a man in jade crown and brocade clothes came in, looking at him with a smile.
"You... who are you?" Ye Xiuquan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He is obviously in the East Palace, but this person has the guts to rob him out, I don't know what his intentions are.
If Zongying finds out that he is missing, he will definitely come out to look for him. As long as he delays, Zongying will definitely come to rescue him.
Seeing his guarded face, Lu Zongting couldn't help but find it amused. All the petites in his house, when they saw him, were either trembling or flattering him. He had never met someone like Ye Xiuquan. "Me? I'm Lu Zongting, an official of the imperial court, and I'm related to the current crown prince. Tsk, tsk, tsk! As expected of the beauty that the official likes, it's courageous to be able to remain calm under such circumstances."
"Bold, I am a person in the womb of the crown prince, how dare you take me away, be careful that your head will be lost." Ye Xiuquan yelled angrily.
"Haha, a beauty is a beauty, and she is so charming when she is angry. To tell you the truth, it was the prince's cousin who gave you to me." Lu Zongting stretched out his hand to catch his chin, and Lu Zongting laughed loudly.
He originally thought that the prince would not agree, but he finally agreed and sent the man here. Although it was a broken shoe that the prince didn't want, it would be a lot of fun to enjoy the body that the future emperor would personally train.
"Nonsense, you're lying to me, Zong Ying wouldn't do that." Ye Xiuquan's face was bloodless, trying to break free from Lu Zongting's restraint, trying to stay away from this apprentice.
He remembered that he had seen this person a few days ago, when he was standing beside Zongying.
Now hearing him call Zongying his cousin, could it be that Zongying really gave herself to this person?
No, he didn't believe it, Zongying would never do this, absolutely impossible!
"What's the point of me lying to you? You are obedient and obedient. Maybe when I am happy, I will make you a male concubine, and you can wear gold and silver, eat sweets and drink spicy food." Lu Zongting, who was eager to hug a beauty, took advantage of him in a daze At that time, he was suddenly pressed down on the bed, and his hands were raised and lowered.
"Stop, stop!" Ye Xiuquan struggled frantically, but with his powerless hands, he was no match for Lu Zongting who had practiced martial arts.
After a while, the long gown was torn off, and the middle clothes were also in a mess, revealing the snow-white skin, and the tied bun had long since been untied, and the long hair fell loose like black ink.
"You obediently obeyed my official. The cousin of the crown prince said that you can't drink well. If you don't obey, I will drink you. If you are drunk, you will be obedient." Lu Zongting was panting while suppressing Ye Xiuquan who was struggling madly. Said gruffly.
"Zongying...it's not true..." He was stunned by these words, and crystal tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
He seldom drank in front of people, and only a few close people knew that he was a poor drinker, and the man in front of him spoke so convincingly, who should he trust...
"Okay, I will treat you well, why are you crying?" Seeing that he no longer struggled, Lu Zongting relaxed his vigilance, thinking that he was dead.
At this moment, Ye Xiuquan raised her foot and kicked him between his legs with all her strength.
"Ah!" With a cry of pain, Lu Zongting immediately fell to the side while clutching his lower body.
The panicked Ye Xiuquan quickly jumped out of bed, opened the door, and rushed out in a panic. Fortunately, the nearby guards had already transferred the anxious Lu Zongting away, so that he was able to escape the door without any danger.
As soon as he rushed out of Lu's mansion, he ran towards the palace, full of tears, he only wanted to see Mu Zongying, and wanted to hear him prove that what Lu Zongting said was not true.
