Chapter 325 Son, When Did You Come?
In the room, Concubine Shu's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes revealed an undisguised look of fear. She rushed to the dressing table in a hurry, and hurriedly looked up and down in the mirror. After confirming that her clothes were neatly dressed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she noticed her slightly messy hair, she felt panicky again, but quickly forced herself to calm down.
Concubine Shu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her trembling hands. Then she pretended nothing had happened and slowly walked to the table and sat down gracefully.
She picked up an apple on the table and took a bite seemingly leisurely, but in fact her heart was still pounding, almost jumping out of her throat.
The fake eunuch standing by was already pale with fear, his legs trembling constantly, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Concubine Shu glared at him fiercely, and signaled him with a sharp look to open the door quickly.
The fake eunuch walked towards the door with trembling steps. After he finally steadied himself, he forced a smile and said with gritted teeth, "Your servant, greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." His voice was obviously trembling.
The fourth prince walked into the room leisurely, his eyes casually sweeping around the room, seemingly not feeling anything strange about the scene before him. He asked nonchalantly:
"Mother, who is this man? He looks so unfamiliar. Could he be the eunuch newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" While speaking, his eyes never fell on Concubine Shu, as if he didn't notice anything wrong at all.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu immediately showed a gentle and kind smile on her face, and responded affectionately: "Son, that's right. How come you have so much free time today to come and visit me? I've missed you so much these days, and I look forward to your coming every day!
It's a pity that my mother is trapped in this palace and can't get out... How is my son these days? Has he suffered any injustice? " As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to hold the fourth prince.
However, in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, the motherly behavior of Concubine Shu seemed extremely disgusting and hypocritical. He avoided the hand that Concubine Shu extended without leaving a trace, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
Concubine Shu's smile was a little stiff. The Fourth Prince put down the gift box in his hand and said, "I know that you like chestnut cake. This is specially bought for you by your son. Please try it." As the Fourth Prince spoke, he opened the gift box, revealing the tempting chestnut cake inside.
Concubine Shu finally let go of her worries. She picked up the chestnut cake and started eating it, pretending that she liked it very much.
"You just go and serve. Go out and ask my mother's maid to guard the door. My mother and I have something to talk about," the Fourth Prince looked at the fake eunuch and said unnoticeably.
The fake eunuch felt relieved and hurriedly took his leave, crawling and rolling away.
"Son, you scared a little eunuch so much that he crawled and rolled over," Concubine Shu joked.
"Mother, he must have done something wrong. Otherwise, how could he be so scared? My son is not a tiger and he doesn't eat people. Mother, did you know that father is sick?" The Fourth Prince said calmly, as if he was chatting with his mother.
Concubine Shu was panicked and muttered, "Could he have found out about me? What should I do? Probably not, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm. It seems I was overthinking it."
"Son. What did you just say? Didn't your mother hear it clearly? Say it again," Concubine Shu asked awkwardly.
"My father is ill, does my mother know? It has been three days. Have you become oblivious to what is happening outside? Please have a good rest. I am leaving and will come to see you another day." After saying this, the Fourth Prince bowed.
He turned around, his face looking terribly gloomy.
As soon as the Fourth Prince left, Concubine Shu couldn't wait to summon all the servants in the palace. When she learned from the servants that the Fourth Prince had been there a long time ago, her originally beautiful face instantly turned pale as snow, without any blood.
Concubine Shu raised her hand in anger and threw the exquisite teacup on the table to the ground. With a crisp cracking sound, she widened her eyes and asked angrily, "You useless things! Why didn't you come to report to me when the Fourth Prince came? Are all of you so incompetent? And that nanny, where is she now?"
At this time, a palace maid stepped forward tremblingly and explained carefully in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when the Fourth Prince came here in the past, you had instructed that there was no need to inform him. And this time we saw that the Fourth Prince was holding an exquisite gift box in his hand. I guess he wanted to give you a surprise. In addition, the Fourth Prince has not visited you for a long time..."
However, before the maid could finish her words, Concubine Shu interrupted her ruthlessly and harshly: "Shut up! No matter what happened before, from now on, anyone who comes to see me must report to me immediately. If you are negligent again, you will lose your head!"
Hearing the cruel words of Concubine Shu, everyone in the room trembled with fear and knelt down to beg for mercy. At this time, Concubine Shu was like a deflated ball, her face ashen, slumped in the chair, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all her life and energy.
At the same time, the guy who disguised himself as a eunuch and tried to escape from the palace had just taken a few steps out of the palace gate when he was unfortunately caught by Rong Fei's men who had been waiting here for a long time. He was quickly tied up and taken away and locked up in the basement of Rong Fei's bedroom.
A pungent and unpleasant smell filled the dark and damp basement. The fake eunuch was thrown on the cold and hard ground, looking at Rong Fei in horror, who was laughing wildly and with a smug look on his face.
Concubine Rong gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Li Shulan, oh Li Shulan, you shameless bitch! Let's see how you are going to clean up the mess this time! If your precious son dares to compete with my son for that position, humph, don't blame me for being cruel! And you, a slut who had an affair with someone behind the emperor's back, you were so bold as to put a green hat on His Majesty, you really deserve to die! Hahahaha..."
At this moment, the fake eunuch realized that he was in the hands of Concubine Rong and was in danger of death. He hung his head in despair!
After leaving the palace, the Fourth Prince immediately called people to search for the whereabouts of the fake eunuch.
He knew that the man must die, otherwise he and his mother would be the ones to die. After all, that would be a matter of killing nine generations of the clan.
