Chapter 692 The Unlucky Child
As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, the three people in the hall all changed color.
Sheng Hongtong stood up suddenly, hurried forward and grabbed the eunuch's collar, and asked anxiously: "Is the news true? How is my father now?"
The young eunuch lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Marquis Xuanping was seriously injured in Tianshan Mountain. Fortunately, Your Majesty has now returned to the palace..."
Before he could finish his words, the naughty kid let go of his hand and ran out of the hall without saying a word.
However, just as he was about to run out of Zehua Palace, a small figure quickly came in front of him and blocked his way.
Lin Yinhu opened his arms and said seriously, "Second Prince, the emperor has ordered that you cannot leave Zehua Palace today, otherwise you will be disobeying the emperor's order."
Sheng Hongtong:......
The naughty kid was immediately furious, "Brother Tiger, get out of the way. I want to go see my father and make sure he is safe."
Lin Yinhu still stood firm in front of him and said, "No, the emperor said you can't go out today."
Sheng Hongtong opened his eyes wide, roared "Brother Tiger", and pounced on him, trying to push him away, but he was held tightly by him. His feet were off the ground, and he could only struggle desperately.
Upon seeing this, Cui Xiangyang and the young eunuch quickly stepped forward and pulled the two little ones apart.
"Second Prince, please calm down. If His Majesty has something to do, he will definitely send me there." Cui Xiangyang held Sheng Hongtong's arm tightly and comforted him in a deep voice.
The young eunuch also quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Second Prince. I will go to Funing Palace to find out the news and report back. Please wait for me."
Sheng Hongtong glared at Lin Yinhu fiercely, struggled a few more times, and finally could only watch the little eunuch run away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the young eunuch ran out of the hall, he met Xiao Shunzi who had just returned with medicine. He bumped into him unexpectedly, staggered back a step, and fell heavily to the ground.
The medicine in Xiao Shunzi's hand almost slipped out, and he quickly protected it, then he looked at him coldly and scolded him: "Where did you get the blind thing? You ran so fast that you almost dropped the medicine for the Second Prince. I'll see if I can hold you tight. You are such an unruly person."
The young eunuch was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for mercy: "Eunuch Xiao Shunzi, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. I will never dare to do it again."
Sheng Hongtong hurriedly rescued the young eunuch: "Xiao Shunzi, he wants to go to Funing Palace to inquire about my father's news. My father was attacked during the sacrifice. Don't delay any longer, let him go."
After hearing this, Xiao Shunzi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground in confusion: "Where did you get this information, Your Highness? No one told me this along the way."
Lin Yinhu explained on his behalf: "Uncle Xiao Shunzi, it was this little eunuch who said that. Just now the Second Prince was clamoring to go out."
"Oh, I see." Xiao Shunzi raised a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, the little eunuch was dragged away, and a series of shrill screams rang out outside Zehua Palace.
It was at this critical moment that little Yining was led by Concubine Nuan to the vicinity of Zehua Palace. Although she had the arduous task of coaxing the old baby, the old baby thought that she was "commendable for filial piety" and asked her to come and see the naughty child first. She also mentioned that she wanted to see Lu Jiayi, which was also allowed.
The screams surrounded the little girl's ears, but she did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she listened attentively to the "Nuan Fei" talking about the interesting (horrifying) things in the palace in her numb voice.
"Alas... it's better to be outside, free and unfettered. There are only two brats in this palace, and they are still fighting. The second prince was slandered for harming the third prince, and the next moment he was given a piece of clothing stained with the plague. It was just that I didn't realize it at the time, and I only found out when I put it on a few days ago."
"My clothes and jewelry are all scented with musk."
The little kid's chubby hands trembled, and she looked up at Concubine Nuan, "Uncle, I can't smell this."
"Nuan Fei":......
The "woman" quickly bent down and covered the kid's mouth, whispering, "Shh, walls have ears! I've dealt with everything on my body."
Xiao Yining: (?_?“), you are just being careless!
The little girl pursed her lips and glanced at the palace maids following behind him. They lowered their eyebrows and looked docile. They were obviously his uncle's people. So she asked quietly, "How is the second prince now?"
"Nuan Fei" stood up, twisted her waist, and replied: "With me here, nothing will happen. But his mother wants to be my sister to express her gratitude to me. This woman really repays kindness with hatred!"
Xiao Yining: ...
The kid glanced at him speechlessly, then pulled him and walked quickly forward.
This "woman" kept nagging: "Hey, little girl, don't be anxious, the second prince's face is not looking good now, I haven't told you in detail yet!"
In just a moment, Xiao Yining and "Nuan Fei" arrived outside Zehua Palace. They glanced at the little eunuch who was covered in blood due to torture, swallowed their saliva, and stood by the door looking into the palace.
At that time, Cui Xiangyang had already returned to report. Xiao Shunzi was carefully feeding the mummy-like young master medicine, and he was still trying to comfort him: "I know that Second Prince is concerned about Your Majesty, but concern can lead to confusion. Second Prince should calm down and think carefully about the truth of this news. How could a eunuch who was tidying up the side hall know the news from outside, and his answer was unclear and irrelevant."
Sheng Hongtong was still unhappy and retorted: "When did I care about my father?"
Xiao Shunzi's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to speak to himself: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have sent people to the Funing Palace to inquire. Soon, Your Highness will know what happened outside!"
The naughty child turned his head away angrily, as if he didn't want to listen. He didn't want to pay any attention to this self-conceited servant.
At this moment, he noticed the two sneaky people at the door. Joy flashed across his eyes, but it was gone in a flash, replaced by a strong disgust. He asked loudly in a bad tone: "Qing Jie'er, why are you here? I don't have time to play with you, go away!"
Sister Qing?
Lin Yinhu, who was reading a book, hurriedly looked towards the door of the hall and saw his little cousin standing there, looking at them with a smile on her face.
The young boy panicked and immediately ran to the palace gate, shouting anxiously, "Qingjie, get out of there quickly, be careful that the Second Prince's illness will pass on to you!"
Sheng Hongtong:......
Just as the kid was about to say that everything was fine, the door of the hall was quickly closed by Lin Yinhu.
Xiao Yining: ...
"Brother Hu, Sister Qing is just looking at the door and not going in!" the kid said helplessly.
The door of the hall was opened a crack again, and Lin Yinhu poked his head out, staring at her suspiciously: "Really?"
The kid nodded seriously, his eyes fell on the white cloth wrapped around Lin Yinhu's face, and asked with concern: "Brother Hu, what's wrong with your face? Why is your face wrapped in cloth like your uncle?"
Hearing this, Lin Yinhu laughed innocently: "It's because the Second Prince's face has become ugly. I was afraid that he would be sad, so I entangled myself with him."
Xiao Yining: (￣△￣;), do you think this naughty kid is a fool?
As expected, as soon as the young man finished speaking, a roar that the little boy was very familiar with came from the hall: "Brother Tiger, shut up!"
