Tang Fan was confused for a moment: "I don't know."
Yan Zhu was silent for a long time.
After that, Yan Zhu would tell him some things out of nowhere, so that he could always solve the emperor's urgent needs when the emperor was in urgent need, and he would never make any mistakes in doing things, no matter how many people got in the way.
When Tang Fan turned eighteen, the emperor finally decided to make him the crown prince.
On that day, Concubine Xian met Concubine Rou, and Gu Yanqi met Tang Fan.
"I didn't expect you to be able to sit on the throne of the prince." Gu Yanqi still looked aloof, "But it won't last long."
As Gu Yanqi said, Tang Fan only served as the prince for one day.
When Tang Ying was confused, her whole body became desolate and cold. When she turned around, she saw Concubine Rou and Tang Fan standing in the courtyard.
"Fan'er, yesterday you finally became the crown prince, the crown prince of Great Qin."
Concubine Rou raised her hand to touch Tang Fan's eyebrows, tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
Disgust flashed in Tang Fan's eyes, and he turned his head to avoid the hand: "Why did the mother-in-law bring me here?"
"Before you were born, my mother-in-law was just a maid in this cold palace."
Concubine Rou retracted her hand and her eyes became cold, "I thought I became a concubine and made you the prince. When the emperor dies and you ascend the throne, I will be the queen mother. By then, we, mother and son, will have completely escaped that lowliness. I don’t have to be bullied by them anymore.”
Tang Fan quietly waited for her next words.
"Concubine Xian came to see me yesterday. What do you think she said?" Concubine Rou was silent for a long time.
Tang Fan frowned and was about to turn around and ask.
Suddenly he felt a pair of hands push him down into the dry well aside.
The dry well was nine feet deep, and Tang Fan instantly felt that all the bones in his body were shattered and blood was constantly flowing from his body.
He looked at the woman lying on the edge of the well looking down, and struggled to utter three words.
"Why?"
Concubine Rou just glanced at him and turned around to leave. Just when Tang Fan was about to die, the wall next to him suddenly opened, and Concubine Rou walked over to him and squatted down next to him.
"Don't blame Concubine Mother. Concubine Mother doesn't want to." A tear fell from her eyes. Concubine Rou pulled out the hairpin on her head, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and scratched his face hard.
"That woman threatened me. If I don't kill you, she will tell the emperor about King Linnan staying in the cold palace. She will even make you bear the infamy of King Linnan. In this way, neither you nor I can escape. One death!"
The more Concubine Rou spoke, the more cruel the movements on her hands became.
Tang Fan no longer knew whether it was more painful to have his bones shattered, or whether there was no good piece of flesh on his face. It seemed that he was in so much pain that he lost consciousness.
"Fan'er, soon... you died, but I can still live..." Concubine Rou cried and laughed, hugging Tang Fan lovingly.
Tang Fan felt sick in his stomach.
His eyes fell on the hairpin that slipped from Concubine Rou's hand, and he used all his strength to hold the hairpin in his hand. Perhaps the hatred in his heart gave his broken arm a little strength.
The moment the hairpin was inserted into Concubine Rou's neck, Tang Fan felt that this was the happiest moment in his history.
Tang Ying was shocked again by this scene, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was already hoarse.
Concubine Rou stood up in fear and opened her mouth to say something, but she lost all her strength and fell on Tang Fan.
Tang Fan chuckled and used his last strength to push Concubine Rou's body away from him.
He never wanted to have any skin-to-skin contact with her until his death.
The scene in front of me spread out like fog.
A big face was just a punch away from hers, making faces at her.
Ying Bao was so amused by the strange and funny expression on his face that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Uncle Li Gui raised his lips: "What happened ten years ago can still make you cry, little crybaby. It's scarier than your mother crying when she saw me die."
"But how painful it is for you..."
Tang Ying's heart felt like she was being pricked by needles when she thought of what she saw. "You are her biological son. How can a mother do something to her own child?"
"When you ask this question, it sounds like an innocent girl who is not familiar with the world and has never been exposed to the evil of human nature." Tang Fan raised his eyebrows in amusement.
[Is this why Master doesn’t let me go down the mountain to interact with people? Is this also the fundamental reason why I failed to ascend? 】
Tang Ying was deep in thought, with a wrinkled face and a deep aura lingering around her whole body.
[The more I think about it, the more I can’t figure it out. I don’t want to! 】
He scratched his head randomly, making his messy hair look more like a chicken coop, and suddenly he looked serious and had a small face.
"Uncle Li Gui! Where is that Tang Yin and that Concubine Xian? Oh yes! Especially that Gu Yanqi?"
【joke! I always read the story books happily, because those who watch physical and mental abuse can only be helpless and furious. What I just saw happened in real life! I can't deal with the characters in the storybook, but I can always deal with the real people! 】
"What are you doing?" Tang Fan had a smile in his eyes, and his lazy tone inexplicably soothed Ying Bao's inner anger, "You want to help my uncle beat them up? Just because you are not as tall as a thigh?"
Ying Bao gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Don't look at me as a small person, but I can slap away ghosts! Cleaning up the bad things is a breeze!"
"Hahaha, you kid really has the same temper as your mother."
Tang Fan felt warm in his heart, "They were tortured to death by me a long time ago. Your uncle is very powerful after I became a ghost."
Tang Ying's expression froze.
Only then did he notice that there were a few rays of red light in the dark air lingering around his body, but the red light was too weak and the black air was too strong. Every time Tang Fan appeared, he hid the red light very well.
"So, those red lights wrapped around your body..." are the sins of turning into ghosts and claiming the lives of living people.
[No wonder he hasn’t reincarnated after ten years of wandering around the palace. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he can’t. 】
"Then how come you were arrested by Concubine Yun?" Tang Ying took out the sachet.
"It's not like I was wanted by the underworld for killing those beasts. How many people died in the forced uterus four years ago? There were so many shady agents who came to seduce the souls. It was at that time that I almost lost my soul trying to protect your mother from leaving the palace. I finally escaped those few... By some strange mistake, Concubine Yun took advantage of me when my spirit body was weak and nourished my soul, and she took my uncle under my wing."
Tang Fan curled his lips, sighed lightly, and then smiled, "But being a ghost is so comfortable~ Especially the ghosts who seek life, they are more refreshing than I have been as a human for more than ten years! If you don't like whoever, just pretend to be a ghost to scare him!"
As he spoke, he suddenly changed into a completely ruined appearance, and rushed towards Tang Ying while roaring.
Tang Ying was really shocked.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Tang Fan laughed loudly: "She is still a little baby, hahaha!"
Tang Ying was made to laugh and cry by him. She wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry when she saw him laughing so heartlessly.
He couldn't help but worry about the fact that he was wanted by the underworld. He vaguely remembered that Master said that if the spirit body has no carrier, it will one day dissipate.
Before she could think about it, there was a knock on the door.
Hongyou's voice came from outside the door: "Princess, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study room after you get up. He said he wanted you to meet your reading companion."
"Reading companion? Playmate?" Tang Ying was confused for a moment, and suddenly remembered the Minister of the Ministry of Justice at the Great Court Meeting, "Can't he be the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice?!"
[Ah ah ah, I don’t want to take care of the naughty child! I'm still a baby! How pampered and pampered you must be to have a child in old age! 】
Ying Bao wailed in his heart and instantly forgot about Uncle Li Gui being wanted by the underworld.
Tang Fan chuckled and shook his head, stroking her little head randomly: "Get up, kid, it's time to have lunch. Uncle, I have to go back to the soul sac to raise the spirit body. Don't think so much, it's just a matter of time." It's just a crime, it's just a wanted order, what can it do to me?"
Ying Bao covered her head with both hands and puffed out her face. Just as she was about to bare her teeth at him, Tang Fan quickly slipped into the sachet and silenced her.
Hong You came in to help Ying Bao freshen up. After lunch, she walked towards the imperial study.
Huaiying Palace is not far from the imperial study, but it would take two-quarters of an hour to walk there at the speed of Yingbao's short legs.
Just after leaving the palace gate and walking a few steps, he saw Tang Feng quickly coming out of Chongyang Palace.
It was her third uncle who had no sense of existence.
[Would you like to say hello to your third uncle? 】
[After all, at the last court meeting, he was suddenly possessed by Uncle Li Gui, and his spirit body was squeezed out. He must have been frightened. 】
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Tang Feng suddenly stop and look back at her.
Ying Bao didn't expect that he would suddenly turn around and stare at him in confusion.
Finally, Tang Ying couldn't stand the strange silence, so she spoke first.
"Is the third uncle also called to the royal study by the emperor's ancestor?"
Tang Feng nodded and looked at her with some questions in his eyes, but he didn't wait until he asked.
Ying Bao kept looking up at the people next to him.
【Um? Third uncle obviously wanted to ask me about what happened last time, why didn't he ask me yet? 】
The two walked side by side for a while, and Ying Bao noticed that her third uncle deliberately slowed down to wait for her, and instantly smiled and frowned.
[The third uncle is so considerate. Knowing that I have short calves, he slowed down and waited for me. He is such a gentle and meticulous person. No wonder he is destined to be rich. 】
Tang Feng calmly glanced at the small breasts that were as high as his knees, and remembered how Ying Bao looked shriveled and thin when he first returned to the palace. Now, in just ten days, he has become more and more shiny and fair. Endearing.
There was a tenderness in his eyes that he had never even noticed.
Hearing the word "fate" again, I finally couldn't resist the temptation of being rich.
"Last time at the great court meeting..." Tang Feng glanced at the eunuch and Hongyou who were following him far behind, and lowered his voice, "Is it a ghost that entered my body?"
Ying Bao was suddenly asked this question and felt a little guilty: "Ah..."
[How can I explain this to my third uncle? It’s all my fault that I was so angry when I got up. I was so angry that the old man from the official department was so arrogant and arrogant that I fainted. This caused my third uncle’s spirit body to be squeezed out of his body. You must know that the soul is leaving the body. If you are not careful, you will become a lonely ghost...]
Tang Feng stopped, turned around and squatted down to look at her hopefully.
"Is it Tang Fan, the eldest brother of the emperor?"
