Su Zhaoyang slowly moved towards the East Palace, taking two steps and turning back.

His biological father died in the main hall just today, killed by Prince Li Yunxing.

Now that he was asked to present the strategies for governing Jingzhou, Su Zhaoyang felt resentful in his heart.

He is full of knowledge, but in the end he has to serve a mediocre prince. This kind of thing would make any man feel uncomfortable, let alone the always proud young master of the Su family?

The more Su Zhaoyang thought about it, the angrier he became and his steps became faster.

He had already reached the entrance of the palace, and if he walked a little further, he would be almost at the East Palace! But suddenly a black shadow crossed in front of him.

Su Zhaoyang looked up and saw that it was Du Heng ordered by the imperial physician.

"Mr. Du, why are you here in the East Palace?"

Du Heng specialized in treating the harem princes. His official position was not high, but he was good-natured.

But at this time, Du Heng was sweating profusely and looked panicked. It was obvious that something had happened.

Just as Du Heng was about to say something to Su Zhaoyang, eunuch Jinxi spoke from behind, "Mr. Du, it's already dark, so why don't you get back to the eunuch earlier?"

As soon as he heard Jin Xi's voice, the feeling of hair standing on end crawled up Du Heng's back again.

He quickly dodged to one side and said respectfully: "Then I will take my leave first."

Jin Xi's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with cold light in the night. He slightly curved the corners of his mouth, snorted coldly, and turned around to go in.

Su Zhaoyang silently watched Du Heng's leaving figure, his doubts growing in his heart.

Doctor Du's behavior just now was a bit strange... Could it be that something big happened...

Is it the Emperor Wu? Or the Prince?

"King Zhaoyang, the prince invites you."

Eunuch Jinxi's words pulled Su Zhaoyang out of his thoughts.

He will investigate the Du Heng matter tomorrow, but now he needs to meet Prince Li Yunxing first.

Su Zhaoyang straightened his clothes and walked into the East Palace, which he hated and feared.

The inner courtyard of the East Palace was brightly lit, shining like daylight.

At that time, Li Yunxing felt relieved after being diagnosed and treated by three imperial doctors, and was having dinner.

When I saw someone coming in, I raised my eyes and took a look.

Not only did Su Zhaoyang come, he was also followed by Queen Liu's two nuns.

This Liu Ruxu is really affectionate. When Su Zhaoyang came to the East Palace, he sent two people to follow him. Is it because he was afraid that he would swallow him alive?

Thinking of this, Su Zhaoyang glanced at the two nuns with cold eyes.

"Brother, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Su Zhaoyang bowed his hands in salute.

Li Yunxing didn't even put down his chopsticks, eating delicious food and drinking fine wine.

This time, Su Zhaoyang's hand was neither raised nor put down.

He looked around awkwardly. Everyone in the East Palace seemed not to notice and regarded Su Zhaoyang as nothing.

Su Zhaoyang was the adopted son of Emperor Wu, so he naturally had little weight in the palace, but Queen Liu's nanny was not someone to be trifled with.

Although she did not dare to say anything to Prince Li Yunxing, she had no problem dealing with Jinxi.

There was a "pop" sound!

He waved his hand and gave Jin Xi a slap in the face.

The force was so fierce that he slapped Jin Xi directly to the ground.

"You little thing, you didn't even let King Zhaoyang sit down when he came. Do you really think you are in charge of this harem?"

The old grandma scolded her harshly, not taking Li Yunxing seriously at all.

As for Jin Xi, there were five red finger prints on his face.

She said she was scolding Jin Xi, but in reality she was mocking Li Yunxing by scolding Sang Huai.

The harem belongs to Liu Ruxu, and outside the palace, the Liu family has the final say. If Li Yunxing wants to make the decision in the harem, he has to ask Liu Ruxu what she wants.

Li Yunxing's brows furrowed, his eyes showing disgust.

A mere nun dared to point fingers in front of him, as to what kind of territory the East Palace was!

Jin Xi covered his cheeks, with tears in his eyes but suppressed them from falling. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Stand up."

Li Yunxing gave the order indifferently.

When the prince spoke, Jin Xi did not dare not listen.

Even though his eyes darkened for a while, Jin Xi immediately stood up and stood respectfully beside Li Yunxing.

The two nuns became even more arrogant. A mere prince dared to put on airs in this harem. Can't they teach him a lesson?

Li Yunxing's eyes fell on Su Zhaoyang.

His eyes are sharp and seem to be able to see into people's hearts, making them intimidating.

In the end, Su Zhaoyang was defeated.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, my mother's two nuns are also fulfilling their duties faithfully and did not intentionally offend the Crown Prince."

At this time, Li Yunxing no longer looked at him, but instead looked at Jin Xi beside him.

"Call back."

Li Yunxing said lightly again.

When the two nuns heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

How dare Li Yunxing attack them? They are the queen's personal maids!

"Prince, you are unexpected!"

Among them, Grandma Jiang who hit someone shouted in disbelief, she was Empress Liu's wet nurse. Even Liu Zhongqing was shocked when he saw her.

She knows how to be courteous, but how dare this prince... how dare someone do something to her!

"I want you to call back."

Li Yunxing's tone was calm, but the power in it made the two nuns tremble.

Jin Xi then bravely stepped forward and gave Aunt Jiang a hard slap in the face.

Jin Xi was not a vegetarian either. From the day he entered the palace, the young eunuch had the lowest status in the harem.

Everyone can come and step on someone, or even insult someone at will, so what he has been able to do best since he was a child is to observe people's emotions and be patient.

But now that he is with Li Yunxing, his status is very different. He has to be addressed as "Eunuch Jinxi" wherever he goes.

When the prince asked him to beat him, he would beat him hard.

After the fight, everyone in the palace knew that Jin Xi was no longer the young eunuch he had been before, but the prince's lackey that everyone in the palace feared.

"This is the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and no outsiders are allowed to insult it."

So he slapped her with enough force that she fell to the ground. Four of her teeth fell out and her face was swollen.

Upon seeing this, another Aunt Cong immediately ran forward and helped Aunt Jiang up.

"Ouch! Are you okay?"

Grandma Jiang grimaced in pain, reached out and touched her face, and she immediately became furious.

"You little slave, how dare you hurt me! When I go back and report to the Queen, I will cut you into pieces!"

The two of them helped each other stand up while talking.

Jin Xi disagreed, "Go back and tell the Queen?"

He sneered, "Who in the world doesn't know that the prince oversees the country? Is it the queen's turn to make the decision?"

Aunt Cong was very angry when she saw that Li Yunxing was just sitting there, drinking wine and eating food as if he were watching a play, without paying any attention to the affairs here.

In terms of seniority, although Aunt Cong is not as favored as Aunt Jiang, she has also served in the palace for many years.

She saw little eunuchs like Jin Xi the most, and relying on her master's reputation, she pretended to be powerful.
