Quick Pass: Green Tea Strategy

Extra episode [-]: Huang Chi's perspective:

The deep winter was over, and the last snow in the capital had already fallen, and the snowflakes melted immediately when they hit the ground, and the steps in the palace were all wet, showing a deep black color.

In the spring of the third year of No.60 in the Daquan calendar, concubine Hui died.

……

Just after I graduated from the imperial school, I was accompanied by a group of companions and court ladies and eunuchs: "Your Highness, Third Prince, please walk slowly, the road in early spring is slippery."

"Third Highness, isn't this the way back to Jiayin Hall? Where are you going?"

Without saying a word, I continued to walk forward quickly, through the wet stone road, the path where moss was already sprouting, and through the remote place in the palace that had not grown yet. Sprouts of the woods.

Just woke up this morning, and heard that Concubine Hui ran into Concubine Gao and Concubine Dowager in the Imperial Garden a few days ago, was punished, returned to the palace and fell seriously ill, and her health has not recovered.

Concubine Hui is my biological mother, Concubine Gao is my adoptive mother.

Ever since I was born and had memories, Concubine Gao Gui was my concubine, concubine and concubine. I also have an elder brother who is six years older than me, who is now the Second Highness Huang Bin. He has a photographic memory, but his concubine still punishes him every day, telling him to get up and read before dawn.

I'm different, basically being raised by Concubine Gao, eating, drinking and having fun every day, I'm happy.

Taixue is the exclusive education of the royal family of Quanguo. I think I am still young. After completing the task of Taixue, I only need to go fishing all day.

Maybe it's because I was too happy, Huang Bin didn't realize that he was my brother, he hated me very much, but he had to act like a good second brother in the palace, seeing me tired for him.

I know that Concubine Hui is my biological mother, but we basically don't see each other on weekdays. There is not much affection between mother and child. After all, we are all like strangers. I can't even remember her appearance clearly. She is often confused with other sissies.

But for some reason, whenever the palace celebrates festivals, I can always see her staring at me from a distance, and when I find out, I feel uneasy and deliberately turn my head to avoid my eyes.

Concubine Hui's family background is not good, I heard people secretly say that she was originally a capable maidservant next to Concubine Gao, she became greedy when she shouldn't be, and when the emperor was drunk one day, she came to look for Concubine Gao but couldn't find her Touched the dragon bed.She was favored by the emperor and granted a position, but she offended Concubine Gao.

Immediately afterwards, what no one expected was that Concubine Hui was lucky enough to give birth to the Dragon Heir, who is now the Third Prince.

But how can a lowly person like Concubine Hui raise a prince?

In addition, the emperor also had the idea of ​​compensating Concubine Gao, so he entrusted me under the name of Concubine Gao.

I just woke up today, and I plan to pack up and wait to go to the imperial school.

Who knows, as soon as I went out, I saw a little maid rushed up and kowtowed heavily: "Your Highness, please go and see Concubine Hui quickly! She has been seriously ill and has not recovered. I'm afraid I'm going! Please..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was dragged out by the little eunuch next to me: "Go, go, what kind of unlucky things are you saying in front of the third highness? This time is when the highness is going to study in the Imperial Academy. Can you afford your Highness's homework?"

It's a pity that after hearing this, I was really not in the mood to learn too much.

But, no.

Looking at the people who followed me around me, I knew what they were thinking: the man with all his lamps exhausted is just a last concubine, what is there to visit?

Fortunately, Taixue was over, so I went straight to Concubine Hui's remote yard.

At the gate of Concubine Hui's courtyard, I saw the little palace lady I saw in the early morning again. Her eye circles were red and swollen like steamed buns. When she saw me coming, her eyes brightened slightly: "Your Highness, you Hurry up and have a look, maybe you can see your empress for the last time."

When the people around her heard what she said, they thought it was bad luck and didn't enter the door.

I opened the tightly closed carved wooden door of the room and walked in slowly.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the room smelled of traditional Chinese medicine. The woman lying on the bed was already so thin that her face was like yellow wax. turned around.

"Chi'er, you're here."

"Meet your concubine, have you been seen by the imperial physician?"

"I've seen it, it's useless. Chi'er... Cough cough, people have this day sooner or later, and it may not be considered a good thing to live in this palace for a few more days."

Her body was like a candle in the wind, and after she said this, she gasped for several breaths, "Mother's parents died early, and now they have nothing to worry about in their life, and there is only a child like you. There is a trace of blood. Not being able to support your prominent mother's family is the most regrettable thing in my life."

She claimed to be my mother, just like ordinary people.

Seeing her like this, I can't correct her, forget it, after all, she is indeed my biological mother.

"Chi'er, you have to remember that you are the prince, the son of His Majesty. I don't ask you what to do, but I ask you to be the longest-lived one among these brothers and sisters. Maybe you agreed to me?"

I half understood, and saw that her tears had already flowed down her eye sockets, so I could only hold her hand back: "I see."

Later, I really knew.

Winning the position, competing for favor, slipping a tire, losing a child, being imprisoned, dying in vain...

I used to think that the imperial city behind me was full of masters and guards, so it must be the most solid;

But then I finally understood—there is no such thing as an impregnable city wall. The most dangerous, darkest and most sinister siege in the world is the one I am in right now.

The next few emperor younger brothers died young and died of serious illnesses.

I became more and more reticent, and I didn't say a word for a few days.

My birth is humble, my temperament is withdrawn, I am fooled, I am ridiculed, I... pretend to be crazy, I promised her-I will live to the end.

Concubine Gao and Concubine Tai are both murderers, they killed her, so I want them all to experience the pain of the death of their loved ones.

Looking at the lively, clever and innocent little prince in the concubine's house, I secretly planned someone to kidnap him on his way to escape the summer heat, and he was burnt until his face was blurred.

As for Concubine Gao and Second Brother?

Father has been afraid of the power of the Gao family for a long time, if the Gao family were gone, how could Concubine Gao be so favored?

I just followed my father's thoughts and contributed to the flames, pulling out the cancer of the Gao family.

Luzi tea?Or... little prince?

I saw the person with shining eyes back then, and it was clearly him.

In this world, inside and outside the palace city, how could there be such a person who is not lustful for power?

I don't believe in ghosts and gods, how can the dead be resurrected?

He is obviously dead, but why does he seem to appear out of nowhere and continue to make waves in this power country.

Is he trying to seek revenge on me?

For some reason, I'm looking forward to it.
