Horror games are not important, I sleep in them

Chapter 340 Kill Me Before Dawn 18. Do you think this title is appropriate?

The two girls hesitated for a long time, pushing each other, but no one spoke.

It’s not that I can’t tell Fu Shi, but I just don’t know how to start.

The life story of the eleventh prince can be regarded as the biggest dirty thing in the royal family. Fei Niao and Qing Niao really couldn't figure out the whole thing completely at the moment, and could only talk about what was already exposed.

For example, the Eleventh Prince and their master are brothers from the same mother; the Eleventh Prince chose the Dog Emperor instead of their master; and the Eleventh Prince has an extremely gloomy personality and likes to kill servants. He has a bad reputation both inside and outside the palace.

Fu Shi didn't believe what he said. He was the one who brought the child home personally, so he knew how much the child weighed. With that physique, he was trying to kill servants. He probably couldn't even lift a sword. He was very weak.

Thinking of this, Fu Shi asked Feiniao and Qingniao to help him put on his clothes. After washing up casually, he strolled to Fu Jinan's yard.

The little girl's yard is named Wanhuaci, and now the plum blossoms are in bud and are very beautiful.

Fu Jinan was sitting on a tall chair, holding the bowl and eating obediently. His well-behaved appearance made the people serving beside him couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother!" Fu Jinan was the first to spot Fu Shi. She exclaimed and jumped off the stool and rushed towards Fu Shi: "An An misses you."

Fu Shi's heart was instantly melted by cuteness. He held the little girl in his arms and rubbed her forehead: "Brother wants to sleep well too, did you sleep well?"

Fu Jinan nodded happily. She gently tugged at Fu Shi's sleeve and pointed at the food on the table: "Brother, do you want to eat?"

Fu Shi smiled and pinched the little girl's face: "I have to wait for another brother, An An will eat first, but my brother came to An An to ask An An to do him a favor, okay?"

In the court, there was a screen in front of the dragon throne. The court officials were arguing non-stop, and the morning court session felt like a vegetable market.

The military officers clamored that the city gates should be blocked and the thief should be detained inside the city and captured immediately, while the civil officials kept emphasizing how powerful the thief was, implying that the military officers had no ability to catch such a highly powerful assassin.

Prime Minister Tao stood right in front of all the officials. He stood with his back straight and did not participate in any discussion. He just remained silent.

Under the dragon throne, the hangover feeling had not completely subsided. Shi Fu sat on the throne with his eyes squinted, feeling a slight headache.

He hadn't drunk so much since everything happened five years ago, and he was just a little too happy last night.

It doesn’t seem quite accurate to say that I was happy. It should be said that I was relieved, or even unrestrained.

He was trained as an heir since he was young, and he had always kept himself clean and never got drunk. After all, no one dared to persuade the emperor to drink too much, so he didn't need to get himself drunk.

But last night was different. He liked the happiness of being with Fu Shi. The young man was very flamboyant, as if as long as he held the young man's hand, the young man could give him everything, and all this was limited to him. This knowledge made Shi Fu very proud, and he even had the mood to listen to this group of people quarreling.

The key point is that even with such a big noise, the idiot behind the screen didn't react at all.

Shi Fu was a little confused. How come Zhao Yan's brain was used up when he usurped the throne? Why did he become more and more delirious after he sat in that position?

Is the court a place for these people to make noise?

Just ridiculous.

Xuanying, who was waiting outside the palace for news, walked through the noisy crowd of ministers. He came to Shi Fu and reported softly, "The young master has woken up."

Shi Fu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and without bothering to pay attention to these messy courtiers, he walked straight through them and left the hall.

Behind the screen, Zhao Yan watched the purple figure leave his waist and back and gradually straighten up. The noisy court officials stopped arguing, stood up properly and bowed to Zhao Yan.

At that moment, Zhao Yan felt that he was much more powerful than Shi Fu.

In the carriage, after listening to Cang Ling's report, Shi Fu felt that Zhao Yan was really childish.

Zhao Yan did have the right to order his officials to act out his ideas and use noisy arguments to get him to leave, but Zhao Yan had to know that not every official believed in him.

Otherwise, Shi Fu wouldn't have to read so many memorials every day.

"If he wants to play, let him play." Shi Fu didn't care much. He tapped his thigh with his fingertips and said, "Let Yuebai speed up. There's no need to help. Just use whatever you have. Our Lord will convince himself."

Cang Ling took the order and retreated. He was speechless when it came to this.

Anning County was so far away and so remote, and the funds Zhao Yan provided were limited. He did not think there was anything wrong with using that little money to support a well-equipped rebel army. Instead, he felt that he was very capable.

After all, Zhao Yan was just a civil servant. Although he had the ability to handle state affairs, he did not understand or know about military forces, and he looked down on those military officers.

The regent may not be as talented in both civil and military affairs as those in other novels. Zhao Yan is just brave and strategic.

What's more, after he became emperor, he still looked down on military officers, which led to the civil officials showing off their power in the court and the military officers suffering repeated defeats.

A true emperor should not favor any side, but should adjust the balance between the two sides.

It’s a pity that Zhao Yan only targeted Shi Fu. He had no time or energy to take care of these “trivial matters”, which made it easier for Shi Fu to take advantage of the situation.

When Shi Fu returned home, the meal was already on the table. Fei Niao, Qing Niao and Su Lu naturally did not hide the fact that they told Shi Fu the news that Fu Shi had woken up. Fu Shi did not think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, Shi Fu would definitely go home as soon as he woke up, so it was right to serve the meal.

"Welcome home." Fu Shi extended his hand to Shi Fu: "Come, have dinner."

Jiu Qiansui's expressionless face suddenly showed some smiles. He strode forward and grasped Fu Shi's hand: "You don't have to wait for me in the future. Eat first when you are hungry."

"You will be back when I wake up, so there is no delay." Fu Shi chuckled: "Besides, I like being with you."

Fu Shi made Jiu Qian Sui very happy with just two sentences. Zhou Yan, who came over to eat, sneered disdainfully, thinking that Shi Fu was really spineless.

"Nine thousand years old, you are really drowning in love." Zhou Yan pushed open the window, leaned on the window frame and clicked his tongue twice: "Oh, this is really strange."

"Oh, then go back to the pavilion with Lou Yue." Shi Fu didn't care at all: "You can do it too."

Zhou Yan: ...

"Hey!" Zhou Yan pretended to climb the window again, but as soon as he raised his leg, he felt pain in his waist, so he could only detour and come in through the main door in disappointment: "Look! Nine Thousand Years Old is bullying me!"

Fu Shi, who was drinking porridge, couldn't hold it in and choked. He patted his chest and pointed at himself in confusion: "What did you call me?"

Zhou Yan didn't care: "Shishi, is there a problem?"

Fu Shi was a little speechless: "Do you think this name is appropriate?"

Zhou Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "How cute, right?"

Fu Shi: ...

It’s not that I don’t like this name, but I always feel that being called this name is a bit strange.

But it was still acceptable, so I just ignored it and concentrated on the porridge in my bowl.

Fu Shi was only focused on eating, and Shi Fu was too lazy to argue with Zhou Yan, so his attention was focused on Fu Shi again.

Zhou Yan found the looks of these two people a bit irritating. He closed his eyes, found a seat and sat down very consciously. He then skillfully served himself a bowl of porridge.

Lou Yue naturally followed him, sat next to Zhou Yan, and picked up food for Zhou Yan.

The six people of Cang Ling were serving on the side and they were the ones who had the most right to say something that was eye-catching.

But they didn't dare.

After breakfast, Fu went to deal with the memorials, Lou Yue returned to the pavilion to deal with some trivial matters, and Zhou Yan was also busy and began to study the snow lotus.

Fu Shi was the one with the most free time, and he started wandering around the Shi Mansion out of boredom.

The Shi Mansion is very large. Fu Shi has been here for four days but has not yet been able to take a thorough tour of the house. Now that he has some free time, he takes the Red Bird and the Blue Bird to wander around the house.

"Which courtyard is the eleventh prince in?" Fu Shi suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious about the progress."

Fei Niao chuckled and began to lead Fu Shi.

The courtyard where the eleventh prince Jinrui lives is called Ruolan, and it is not particularly close to the main courtyard.

It’s not that Feiniao and the others deliberately arranged it this way, but Jinrui took the initiative to choose this courtyard.

They didn't know why, maybe he was afraid that Shi Fu would drive him away, or maybe he was afraid of people, but no one cared.

When Fu Shi and the other two arrived at Ruolan, they heard the chattering of a girl in the yard. It was Fu Jinan.

This morning, the favor that Fu Shi asked Fu Jinan to do was nothing more than to play with Jinrui for a while.

His original words were that the new kid's experiences were not particularly good and he needed guidance from his peers. Fu Jinan agreed immediately and said with a smile that she would leave it to him.

"Ruirui, there are flowers in my yard. Sister Zhuniao said they are plum blossoms. They are so beautiful. Do you want to go with me to see them?" Fu Jinan was sitting on the swing. Jinrui was pushing the swing carefully behind her, for fear that she would fall, but he still didn't answer.

Fu Jinan was not discouraged. She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Then let me tell you about my past. I used to be, no, I was a little beggar before yesterday."

Jinrui's hand paused for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses and continued pushing the swing.

"When I was a beggar, I saw plum blossoms from afar. They were very beautiful." Fu Jinan's face was filled with nostalgia. "The lady in that courtyard was very, very kind. She gave me a bowl of rice. That bowl of rice was very, very much. It allowed me to celebrate the New Year and survive the winter. What about you?"

Jinrui still didn't say anything but he was obviously relaxed. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately pursed his lips into a straight line, looking a little gloomy.

Fu Shi could see it clearly from this angle. His eyes narrowed and he walked over quickly and grabbed the child's chin.

The secret kept by Jinrui was finally broken, and Fu Shi saw the child's cut tongue.

"Who did it?" Fu Shi's face darkened: "Dog emperor? Those servants who bullied you?"

Jinrui didn't react, he just blinked and shook his head gently.

The red bird covered her mouth, and next to her was the blue bird who had already stayed where he was.

Although they didn't like the Eleventh Prince, they never wanted to do anything to him. But they didn't expect that the Eleventh Prince would actually...

Half of his tongue was missing.

Fu Shi picked up the child and brought him into the house. He then called Feiniao and Qingniao in, and took off Jinrui's clothes, revealing the hideous scars.

It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment Fu Shi wanted to kill someone.

He tried to calm down his anger, pulled Feiniao and turned away, leaving Qingniao here to check Jinrui's body.

Fu Jinan leaned against the door frame, with Zhuniao and Xiangniao beside her. The two maids were a little worried but didn't know how to comfort her.

When Fu Shi broke into the study, Shi Fu was still reading a memorial. The young man rushed in anxiously, took him away without saying a word, and even put a cloak on him, which made him laugh.

"Where are you going?" Shi Fu let the young man pull him, not slowing down at all: "What's wrong?"

"You..." Fu Shi said carefully: "Have you ever investigated Jinrui?"

Shi Fu frowned: "What happened to the child?"

Fu Shi did not answer any more. He brought Shi Fu all the way to Ruolan and walked into the main house, allowing Shi Fu to see the hideous wounds on Jinrui's body.

Shi Fu was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe it. He turned to look at Cang Ling and the other three, only to find that they were equally surprised.

Shi Fu had spies throughout the imperial city. Logically, he would have known that Jinrui was bullied, so Jinrui's injury was a little strange.

Fu Shi believed that Shi Fu would not be the kind of person who would allow others to hurt Jin Rui. Moreover, Shi Fu's expression now could be described as solemn, which also showed that Shi Fu had no idea that Jin Rui had so many wounds on his body.

"His tongue." Fu Shi clicked his tongue lightly. Not knowing how to start the conversation, he wanted to pinch Jinrui's chin. However, when he met Jinrui's eyes, Fu Shi actually saw happiness in those eyes.

Yes, happy.

That kind of happiness that comes from the heart.

Fu Shi frowned and continued to pinch Jinrui's chin. The child did not resist at all and even opened his mouth to let the people in front of him see his cut tongue.

This reaction made Fu Shi a little puzzled. His intuition also told him that things were definitely not that simple. However, he could not jump to conclusion without evidence. He could only wait and see.

Fu Shi was relieved only after Qingniao had thoroughly examined Jinrui and confirmed that it was only a superficial wound. He looked at Shi Fu, and the two of them walked out of the house together and began to interrogate the servants who had served Jinrui yesterday.

Because Fu Shi broke into the palace in the middle of the night, he came back a little late, so Fei Niao sent two maids and a servant over.

Now the three of them knelt in front of Shi Fu and told him in detail what they had experienced.

Last night they filled the tub with water and wanted to help Jinrui take a bath but were refused. The little boy was very stubborn and stood in front of the bathtub without moving, refusing to let them serve him.

Because Fei Niao had told them that the boy had a strange temper, they just had to follow orders. They retreated and left space for the boy, so they didn't notice the scars on his body.

This was not anyone's fault, so Shi Fu did not pursue the responsibility. He just frowned and thought about how Jinrui got the injuries.

Fu Shi pinched his brows and whispered, "Maybe I know."
