In the Zhaoren Hall, Zhu Ying sat on a chair with her chin in her hand, staring at the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince in front of her.
The two little ones had learned before that Lady Dowager Zhao and Madam Zhao had entered the palace one after another, and that they had brought an outsider with them. The Fourth Prince was eager to go and see what was going on, but was held back by the Third Prince. It was not until the Emperor called them brothers to have dinner together that the Fourth Prince could not help but inquire about the matter, but was evaded by the Emperor with a lighthearted answer.
But now, the Madam and Jiu Niang had left. He and his third brother had just finished dinner with their father, and Zhu Ying came with several more people! Four in total. The naughty boy had never seen four people come to the Qianqing Palace at night, and had never even heard of it! Moreover, these people did not look like officials, but small people at first glance.
Don't ask him how he knew that he was a nobody. The naughty kid is no longer the one who knew nothing after living in the deep palace for a long time. He has seen more people and seen more things, so of course he has a little bit of vision - after all, he can tell from the clothes of these people!
However, although he was very curious, the Fourth Prince was driven out of the Qianqing Palace by the Emperor along with his Third Brother, and was also given an unyielding guard, Sister Yingying, whom he could never deal with. He had just said all the nice things, but Zhu Ying remained unmoved. Facing the tight-lipped scene, he was really angry.
"Sister Yingying, Third Brother is the Crown Prince. Even if something big happens, do we have to hide it from him, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace?"
Although the Third Prince also wanted to know what was going on, the Fourth Prince had tried every possible means and finally pulled up a tiger skin as a banner in front of him. He still had to scold him with a stern face: "Fourth brother, be careful with your words! Even if I am the crown prince, I don't have to tell me everything. Father has his own decision, how can you question his arrangement?"
The fourth prince was still unconvinced and wanted to speak, but his third brother glared at him and he could only shut up. Zhu Ying, who had just been looking at him with a leisurely smile, yawned.
"Okay, don't ask me what happened! Mother just called my second brother and me over before entering the palace and gave us a few instructions. I just accompanied Eunuch Chen to the outer city. I don't know much more than you do."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was full of disbelief and the Third Prince remained silent, Zhu Ying said lazily, "Of course, at least I know one more unexpected news than you. But the Emperor will definitely tell you in a while, so you two little guys should not be anxious, and don't even think about taking advantage of me. Without the Emperor's order, I won't say anything."
Although she wanted to share the great news that the second prince had died, she still understood the seriousness of the matter! Even if it was Zhang Shou in front of her, she would hold back for the time being and wait for the emperor to express his opinion before she would speak. Not to mention the two brothers, what good would it be to tell them earlier? Maybe the emperor would want to see their true reactions after hearing the news
I don't know which person thought of making a fortune from such a rare commodity... Of course there are other possibilities, but she thinks that apart from the possibility that the person is really dead, it is more likely that someone kidnapped the second prince and planned to do something bad.
