Prison Dragon

Chapter 17

The person who came was the second prince's concubine—Concubine Xian.

I heard that Concubine Xian was very angry because the second prince failed to become the crown prince.

Concubine Xian is different from other women in the palace.

She was originally a talented woman well-known in the capital, not famous for her looks.What is most attractive about her is her demeanor and demeanor, with poems and books as her bones and autumn water as her soul. The famous family and aristocratic family gave her the pure arrogance, and the talent in her belly gave her the capital of arrogance.

It's a pity that the emperor had only seen such an outstanding person like Concubine Xian before, and he really liked people who would come to trouble.

Now, the emperor would not even take a look at it.

Yang You knelt down and saluted, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Concubine Xian's chariot was carried to the center of the stage, and she supported Yang You dignifiedly, "I like you children the most on weekdays, and you have always been the most obedient. Yesterday, when I asked for advice, His Majesty specially kept you Speak. Why do you need to do these hypocrisy?"

Yang You pretended to be silly and smiled and said: "Parents love their children, but children still have to keep their duties. Courtesy is the foundation of the world, and you never forget it. Yesterday, the emperor deliberately kept me, because he wanted to say that I was not good at school, so that the imperial concubine would laugh at me." gone."

Concubine Xian didn't say anything and let him sit aside.

How could Yang You dare to sit still, and stood quietly beside her chariot.

It's a pity that eunuchs and maids are responsible for serving tea and water. If not, he would still do these things, lest the concubine Xian make trouble for him.

Concubine Xian only watched a small part of the play before leaving.

Both she and the second prince have very proud personalities, but the second prince Yang Ti's arrogance lies in the fact that he likes to step down others, and the concubine Xian's arrogance lies in her disdain for others.

Speaking of which, she was one of the concubines in the palace who had no intention of fighting, because she looked down on others.

Her father, Linge, was always in the imperial court, Concubine Xian knew very well that as long as she did nothing wrong in the palace, her position would be secure.

After Yang You watched the whole play, he called the troupe master and gave him some money.

The class leader led a group of actors to thank, "I heard that His Highness the Fifth Highness treats people generously, thank you Your Highness."

Yang You smiled and said, "How long have you been here, what do you know? Be careful what you say in the palace."

The class teacher thanked him repeatedly.

After the play, it was already dark, and there were lights everywhere in the palace. It was night, but it was as bright as day.

Yang You chose a small path and went to Qingfang Hall under the cover of darkness.

There were tiny crickets chirping in the darkness, and there were some cicadas chirping a few days ago. The male pets in Dongwu Palace thought it was noisy, so the emperor ordered someone to beat all the cicadas in the palace.

Walking, he found that he had reached the Mingquan Palace where the third prince was. The Mingquan Palace was surrounded by bamboos, which was different from other places.

Although the third brother Yang Ren is not as talented as the second brother Yang Ren, his arty posture is much more eye-catching than the second brother Yang Ti.

He imitated the saying of the ancients that one cannot live without bamboo for a day, and planted bamboos in Mingquan Palace.I heard from the palace people that only the second brother Yang Ti and the third brother Yang Ren could win the eyes of those arrogant scribes.

Although the third emperor's brother Yang Ren is named Ren, he is not benevolent at all.

His methods are sinister and ruthless, and he must retaliate. What is even more frightening is that he is always smiling on the surface, and he does not show any signs of expression. He never loses his temper in person, but he will secretly remember it in his heart, and he will repay it even more vigorously when he has the opportunity in the future.

Yang Xiu said, maybe one day he will be cheated on by Brother Three Emperors, and he doesn't know where he provoked him.

Yang You thought, maybe he was deceived and didn't expect that it was Brother Sanhuang who did it.

He is like a poisonous snake, lurking in the shadows, and he doesn't know when he will suddenly bite you.

Yang You returned carefully, and chose another path, bypassing Mingquan Palace.

The other road goes through the old palace, which has been abandoned for 300 years, with rocky rocks and overgrown weeds.

He just stepped into the door with his right foot, and secretly thought it was broken!Quickly hide by the door.

Facing the door is a rockery. Behind the rockery, two overlapping figures can be vaguely seen, and there is a depressing and ambiguous voice.

Both voices were very hoarse, and one could tell they were two men.

I haven't heard of any prince in the harem who is Duanxiu, it seems that it can only be the emperor's male favourites.

Could it be the emperor and his male favorite?

He squatted by the door, using the weeds to cover his figure, and slowly backed away.

The little lady was quite sensible and didn't cry out. He carefully put the bird in his arms and closed its beak.

A pair of white legs protruded from the back of the rock, a red thread was wrapped around the ankle, and something of gold and jade was hung on it, and it kept shaking up and down with the cry.The other hand stretched out, holding the slender ankle and kneading it continuously.

Yang You shivered suddenly.

The seventh prince, Yang Lun, was in poor health when he was a child. Concubine Wu Hui asked for a lion made of gold from somewhere, and hung it on his foot, saying it was to ward off evil spirits and disasters.

After bringing the golden lion, Yang Lun's health really improved, so he kept it with him.

Yang You still remembered that when the emperor came to the hot spring palace when he was a child, several princes were in a soup pool, he was still a little curious about Yang Lun's golden lion, so he took a few extra glances.

That's definitely Yang Lun. The lion is so finely crafted that ordinary people can't imitate it.

He heard the slender boy's voice calling a name repeatedly.

Is it appropriate?He guessed randomly, and carefully returned the same way.

Hearing the gasping inside the door was getting stronger and stronger, knowing that he hadn't been noticed, he left in peace and took a long way back to the palace.

Hearing that Yang Lun was about to marry the lady of Liu Shangshu's family, Concubine Wu Hui specially granted him the imperial decree to marry him, and the marriage would only happen after the ceremony of his crowning the king.

He actually was with someone else in the palace... It seemed that he was the one being played with, so he couldn't be the eunuch.

The guards couldn't walk into the deep palace.

In this palace, the only one who can do that kind of thing is the emperor's male favourite.

Yang You knew that he might have bumped into the secrets of Concubine Wu Hui's palace, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

If the emperor knew that his male favorite was fooling around with the prince, if Concubine Wu Hui knew that he had caught Yang Lun having an affair with his male favorite, if Yang Lun knew that he had seen his secret...

The more Yang You thought about it, the more headache he felt.

Keep silent, don't expose, lest you get into trouble.

His footsteps became faster and faster, as if the palace was full of man-eating beasts, only Qingfang Palace was safe.

Yang Mi was still young, so he went to bed early, and the Qingfang Hall had already turned off most of the lights in his time, only the main hall of Concubine Li and Yang You's side hall were lit.

He hung the little lady under the eaves, and the birds had already slept peacefully.

Zhan Fang came over to salute: "Your Highness, the kitchen has already heated the meal for you."

Yang You nodded.

He doesn't like to be served by too many people, surrounded by people, looks very imposing, but in fact is ostentatious, he will visit Ao Chen from time to time, naturally the fewer people following him, the better.

Yang You Palace is very deserted, only a few little girls.

After eating, Zhan Fang waited for him to change his clothes and take a bath. The water was warm, and he sank himself into the barrel, allowing the water to overflow his eyes until he couldn't breathe.

He wiped the water from his face, and suddenly felt hesitant in his heart, he didn't know where to go, but this moment of hesitation was fleeting, and when he thought about it again, he didn't know where the hesitation came from.

There are many plum trees outside the window.

Plum trees only bloom in winter and spring, and they are not so beautiful in other seasons.

Yang You doesn't like the dryness of the branches of plum trees, or the lonely charm of a plum tree, so he doesn't appreciate the beauty of sparse shadows.

The plum blossoms here were planted by the former emperor, and he occasionally took a look at them, because in his memory, Ao Chen always liked plum blossoms very much.

Early the next morning, he was awakened by pressure.

Taifu Zhang was unwell and took a short rest for ten days. Yang Niu climbed onto his bed and jumped on it like a wild horse, stepping on him from time to time, and then lying on Yang You's body, pulling his face, Shouted: "Brother, lazy, get up the boat."

Yang You lifted him by the back of the neck and sat him aside, "It's a lazy pig, get up."

Yang Mi slapped him on the face, "Living lazy, get up."

Yang You sighed, got up resignedly to his fate, ordered Yang Ni to read the book all morning, and finally put him to sleep at noon, the sixth prince Yang Xiu wrote again, saying that he had found a big cricket for him to have a look at.

"Your Highness," Zhan Fang saw that he was about to go out, and began to pack Yang You's things, "Didn't you go out with an eight-treasure bag yesterday? Why aren't you here?"

Yang You thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have seen the eight-treasure bag containing food, so he followed suit in the room.

Seeing that the time agreed by Yang Xiu was getting closer and closer, the Eight Treasure Bag was still missing.

"Forget it, Your Highness, don't look for it." Zhan Fang said, "Maybe I just put it somewhere. Some things can't be found when I'm looking for them, and they will come out when I don't look for them. A small bag is no big deal of."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang You hurried out the door.

I keep thinking about my experience yesterday, it seems that after seeing Ao Chen, I don't have any memory about the Eight Treasure Bag.

Where is it?Thinking like this, he quickly forgot about this little thing he left behind on the road.

Yang Xiu and him can be regarded as having similar tastes to a certain extent. Both of them like to have fun, and they will show off to each other if they have any good things.In order to overwhelm him in terms of aura, Yang You deliberately dressed like a dog, brought his own canopy yuan cricket, and went to Chen Guiren's Zhongling Hall to find Yang Xiu.

His canopy yuan cricket has become a famous god of war in the palace.

The Zhongling Palace is where the nobles live, it is considered as the middle and lower ranks of the concubines in the harem, and there are no people around at ordinary times, since the emperor liked men, there are even fewer people, only a few nobles live there, I am afraid the emperor does not know Who are these women.

Yang You walked all the way, except for the vicious Sun, there was no one else.He often went to Yangxiu Palace, because he was familiar with him, so he didn't even take the maid with him.

The sun was so hot that Yang You didn't have a chariot. He was worried that the canopy yuanli would die from the sun, so he kept fanning the canopy yuanliu's small bamboo house, and he was sweating profusely.

When he arrived at Zhongling Hall, Yang You was already a sweaty man.

The gate of Zhongling Hall was deserted, so cold that it seemed that there was no popularity.

Yang Xiu's personal maid, Hanze, was waiting for him at the door.

Seeing him, Han Ze trotted over and said, "Your Highness Fifth, you are here. Our Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yang You raised the small bamboo house in his hand, "Don't worry, am I here?"

Yang You noticed that her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hanze, are you hot?" Yang You asked concerned, "Your head is full of sweat."

"What?" Hanze led the way non-stop, she touched her forehead and smiled, "Ah, yes, it's very hot."

Yang You inexplicably felt that her smile was a little uncomfortable, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Hanze lowered his head, "I'm getting heatstroke."

Yang Xiu's mother's status is low, so the treatment is not good. Yang You still has ice cubes in the palace to cool off the heat, but Yang Xiu does not have this kind of treatment. Yang You said: "Tomorrow I will send some ice."

Han Ze said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Han Ze took him into Chen Guiren's yard, but saw no one else.

Yang You asked, "Why didn't you see anyone today? Where is your nobleman?"

Hanze's face turned pale and said: "Concubine Wu Hui has called all the concubines to listen to the opera today."

Yang Xiu is the same as himself, he doesn't like too many people to follow, and there is only Han Ze, a court lady, by his side.Seeing that her complexion was really bad, Yang You said, "Go and rest first, don't be brave when you are sick."

Han Ze saluted: "Your Highness, you should go find our Highness quickly."

Yang Xiu's room was still in the deepest part of the yard, the door was half-opened, Yang You opened the door, Yang Xiu fell asleep on the table, the crickets were exceptionally loud, even louder than the crickets in the canopy. Several times louder.

Yang You's eyes lit up, it seemed that Yang Xiu had found a good cricket.

He deliberately wanted to tease Yang Xiu, so he walked into the room carefully without making a sound, the incense in the room was stronger.

Yang Xiu blushed from sleep.

Yang You lifted the lid and saw that the cricket was not half the size of the Canopy Cricket, and it was bumping around in the small porcelain basin. Not long after Yang You lifted the lid, it jumped to the ground, and Yang You rushed to jump.

Han Ze closed the door for them, and the cricket jumped not far from the door. Yang You threw himself down and sat on the ground, not holding the cricket in his hand, but heard a snap.

It's locked.

The small sound awakened the vigilance in his body, he stood up and kicked the door, shouting: "Hanze!"

There was no answer, and the door was not kicked open.

He subconsciously turned around to look for the window, and the only window was locked.

Even if it is locked, you can break open the window and door to escape.

He looked inside Yang Xiu's room, ready to take a chair to do it.

Yang Xiu lay there silently, Yang You was afraid that something might happen to him, so he went to test his breath.

angry.

He pushed Yang Xiu, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother!"

Yang Xiu's body was soft, and he fell backwards with his movement, Yang You quickly supported him, and with Yang Xiu's movement, his clothes collapsed from his shoulders.

Only now did Yang You see clearly that his clothes were just put on casually, but the back view looked neat, and he didn't even buckle his clothes!

Yang Xiu's chest was covered with bruises, his lips were abnormally red and swollen, and there were spots of blood on his trousers.

Yang You's brain slammed, he was completely blown up, someone was planning them!

Who is it?

The incense broke into his head strongly, and the palm of Yang Xiu's hand became hot when it touched Yang Xiu.

Trembling, he pushed Yang Xiu away and poured a pot of tea into the incense burner. Although the incense was extinguished, the strongest aroma before it was extinguished fell on his face.
