The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had to rub themselves off two layers of skin to feel that they did not smell like bird shit, but they still felt that they were unclean.
"Catch me, catch every one I see, and don't let any one go." The third prince had a gloomy face, and a terrifying aura was exuding from his whole body. "I'm going to skin them alive."
Cao Yi bowed his waist and said cautiously: "The slaves have been captured. Don't worry, I won't let any of them go." Cao Yi is the third prince's personal eunuch and knows the third prince's temperament well. This time, the third prince was covered in bird poop by a group of sparrows and crows, which caused him to lose all his dignity. The third prince was bound to not let it go. "Don't get so angry."
The third prince suddenly thought of something, and his expression became more sinister: "Has Hua Qing been found?"
At the mention of Hua Qing, Cao Yi's body instantly became stiff. He said bravely: "When I went back to Your Highness, I couldn't find it."
With a bang, the third prince grabbed the tea cup at hand and slammed it on the ground in front of Cao Yi. The fragments of the teacup flew into Cao Yi's face, cutting his face.
Cao Yi immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, his body trembling slightly: "Your Highness, forgive me!"
"I can't find anyone, you loser!" At this time, the third prince was gloomy and twisted, not at all as upright and kind as he usually saw.
"The slaves secretly searched all the palaces and asked many people. They all said they didn't see Hua Qing."
"Could he have disappeared from the world?" the third prince sarcastically asked.
"Your Highness, I suspect that Hua Qing is gone." Cao Yi expressed his suspicion.
"No more?"
"My slave guessed that Hua Qing should have committed suicide by throwing himself into a well." Cao Yi said, "Hua Qing had sought death before. Furthermore, it is impossible for a person to disappear from the palace out of thin air. There is only one possibility, and that is that he is no longer here."
The third prince felt that Cao Yi's words had some truth. He raised his eyebrows and said: "You want to see people alive, and you want to see his body when you die. Even if he threw himself into a well knowingly, we will still see his body."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have sent people to search all the wells in the palace. I think Hua Qing's body will be found soon." Cao Yi saw that the third prince's expression softened a little, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The third prince nodded lightly, and then raised his hand towards Cao Yi.
Cao Yi stood up hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness." He looked at the third prince with hesitation on his face.
Seeing his hesitant expression, the third prince said with some displeasure: "If you fart, hurry up!"
Cao Yi reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, starting tomorrow, you will take a bath and fast, and you will copy Buddhist scriptures for the late queen. Have you not forgotten?"
The third prince really forgot. He said impatiently: "This palace knows."
Cao Yi hesitated for a moment, then bravely said to the third prince again: "Your Highness, on the anniversary of the death of the late Queen, you'd better... better not... hit anyone again, otherwise the Emperor will definitely punish you if he knows about it."
The third prince stared at Cao Yi sinisterly, which made Cao Yi's legs weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, it's not that this slave is talkative, but..." Cao Yi was so shocked by the third prince that he broke into cold sweat, "The emperor respects the late queen very much. If something happens during the death anniversary of the late queen, the emperor will definitely be furious."
The third prince withdrew his sharp eyes and said with an unhappy face: "I am not so stupid as to anger my father at this time."
When Cao Yi heard this, he quickly raised his hand and slapped himself: "This slave is talking too much."
The third prince waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.
"what else?"
"Your Highness, on the anniversary of the death of the late empress last year, the fifth prince found relics and presented them to the emperor, which made the emperor very happy. I am afraid that the fifth prince will find something good again this year. I am afraid that the sixth prince will be the same." Although Cao Yi was afraid of the third prince. Prince, but he is loyal to the third prince and thinks about the third prince very much. "You will leave the palace next year to open a palace. If you please the emperor before opening the palace, maybe the emperor will reward you with a good fief next year."
The third prince liked what he said, and it also touched his heart.
"You are right, this palace should make preparations for leaving the palace and conferring the title of king next year."
"Your Highness, the south of the Yangtze River has been rich in wealth, outstanding people, and beauties since ancient times." Cao Yi said, "Although there is a rebellion in Yangzhou now, by next year, the rebellion in Yangzhou will definitely be put down. Why don't you go to Yangzhou?"
After hearing this, the third prince's originally gloomy eyes suddenly burst into light.
"Yangzhou is a good place." He said and stood up excitedly, "I will go to the concubine and ask her to help me win Yangzhou." After saying that, he hurried to Fuyang Palace.
As soon as he walked out of Xingde Palace, he saw Sun Kui's apprentice Sun Doudou coming.
When Sun Doudou saw the third prince, he immediately smiled. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the Third Prince: "I have met His Highness."
The third prince was very polite to Sun Doudou.
"Little Eunuch Sun, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Father, do you have something to do with me?"
"Your Highness, the Emperor wants you to go to the Imperial Study Room."
The third prince asked: "What does your father have to do with me?"
"This slave doesn't know."
The third prince also knew that he could not get the truth out of Sun Doudou, so he did not ask about the matter again, but chatted with Sun Doudou in a casual manner.
Sun Doudou bowed slightly and answered the third prince's question with a respectful smile.
The third prince was polite to Sun Kui and his disciples, not because he wanted to bribe them. He knew very well that he could not win over the people serving Emperor Zhou Wu, otherwise he would offend Emperor Zhou Wu. He was polite to them because they were the people serving Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Not only the third prince, but also other people in the palace and ministers were polite to their master and apprentice and did not dare to offend easily.
After a while, the third prince, Sun Doudou and the others came to the imperial study.
Sun Doudou said: "Your Highness, please go in directly."
The third prince glanced at Cao Yi before leaving, and Cao Yi understood.
When the third prince entered the imperial study, Cao Yi took out a money bag from his arms and gave it to Sun Doudou.
Sun Doudou declined twice, but finally couldn't resist Cao Yi's persistence and had to accept it.
Cao Yi did not ask Sun Doudou about the imperial study room, but talked about some insignificant things.
The third prince walked into the imperial study and bowed respectfully to Emperor Wu of Zhou. Although the third prince looked sinister and vicious just now in Xingde Palace, when facing Emperor Wu of Zhou, he was as cautious as Cao Yi.
All princes will feel fear when facing Emperor Wu of Zhou. Furthermore, the third prince was severely beaten by Emperor Wu of Zhou, which made him even more afraid of Emperor Wu of Zhou.
"Why did you send people to catch birds?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "Catch them and eat them?"
Although Emperor Zhou Wu's tone sounded calm, it made the third prince's scalp tingle. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't want to eat, but..." Thinking of what happened in the Changqin Palace before, the third prince's expression turned ugly, "I was covered in bird excrement by those birds, I couldn't be more angry. …”
"Want to kill those birds to vent your anger?" Emperor Zhou Wu's tone suddenly turned cold, "What day is tomorrow?"
When the third prince heard this, he immediately remembered that he would take a bath and fast tomorrow to copy Buddhist scriptures for the late queen. He killed birds before copying Buddhist scriptures, which was a taboo.
His face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with panic.
"Father, I am aware of my sin. I was so angry with those birds that I wanted to...ask my father for forgiveness." He actually forgot such an important thing.
Emperor Wu of Zhou said coldly: "Get out."
"My dear, please leave!" The third prince stood up and left in a hurry.
Cao Yi stood guard at the door of the imperial study, and when he saw the third prince coming out with a horrified expression, his heart suddenly sank.
Your Highness was reprimanded by the Emperor?
The third prince did not dare to stay at the door of the royal study for too long and left in a hurry. Cao Yi hurriedly chased after him.
After walking for a while, the third prince suddenly stopped and kicked Cao Yi.
Cao Yi knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, calm down."
"Why didn't you stop me from killing birds just now? Don't you know that blood is not allowed on the anniversary of the late Queen's death?"
Cao Yi felt aggrieved and hinted, but the third prince didn't hear it. Besides, when the third prince was angry, he didn't dare to say it directly.
"This slave has neglected his duty, please punish me, Your Highness."
The third prince knew in his heart that it was not Cao Yi's fault for not reminding him, but he could only vent his anger on Cao Yi.
"Tell them to stop and stop killing birds."
"Slave, go now."
The third prince did not return to Xingdeok Palace, but went to Fuyang Palace to find his mother, Concubine Shu.
In the imperial study room, Sun Kui glanced at Emperor Zhou Wu secretly and saw that Emperor Zhou Wu's face was not very good-looking, thinking that Emperor Zhou Wu was still angry with the third prince. He hesitated and finally decided not to speak for the third prince.
More than an hour ago, the Emperor and His Royal Highness were having a fight. More than an hour later, the emperor scolded the third prince coldly. This gap is really big.
