Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 425 Inner Demon

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here. Please stop playing in the water. It's dangerous!"

The twelfth prince, Qin Mingfan, sat by the water, hugging his knees. His bony hands had faintly visible light blue veins. He slowly dipped his fingers into the water and fiddled with it leisurely, causing water splashes to slowly disperse under his hands.

The eunuch's voice was neither loud nor soft, but the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan turned a deaf ear to it. His hands were still moving slowly in the water, and his body was motionless.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here!"

Upon seeing this, the eunuch called out twice more.

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan then slowly turned his head to look at him with an expressionless face.

"understood."

Qin Mingfan's legs seemed to be numb from squatting for so long, and he staggered when he stood up. The eunuch immediately rushed forward and stretched out his arms to help him up, but he was pushed into the water by Qin Mingfan.

The eunuch threw himself into the water with a look of horror on his face, splashing water all over the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan.

The eunuch struggled frantically in the water, calling for help.

However, the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan just glanced indifferently at his wet clothes, letting the water droplets roll down his shoulders, hair and clothes, with a trace of disgust in his heart.

When he was quiet, he didn't want to see anyone, so he would always send away the palace maids and eunuchs who served him.

No idea how long it would take for other palace servants and eunuchs to hear the struggle of this blind eunuch and come to rescue him.

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan watched the eunuch's movements becoming smaller and smaller, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and then shouted for help.

If someone saw it, he would be so frightened that he would be stunned and unable to react, so there is nothing to blame him.

Did the thirteenth brother, who was the most favored by his father, also die in this way, thrashing and struggling, slowly and slowly drowning?

Watching other palace servants and eunuchs rushing over after hearing the noise and picking up the eunuch, the Twelfth Prince Qin Mingfan stood aside and seemed to be trembling with fear.

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician to see him. Also, my elder brother is here. Carry me to go meet him."

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan said in a trembling voice. He was shaking constantly. If it weren't for the palace servants supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground the next moment.

"Your Highness, please change your clothes first. You are wet. The autumn chill is biting. If you catch a cold and get sick, Concubine Shun will be very worried."

"it is good."

Lying on the eunuch's back, the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan asked cowardly, "He, he won't die, right?"

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. Little Li is in good health. He just vomited out water. He won't die. Don't be afraid."

"That's good."

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan buried his head in the eunuch's shoulder. His tone was no longer tense and his closed eyes concealed the indifference in his eyes.

Just a slave, alive or dead, it doesn't matter to him.

If he dared to report... no, slander the prince, then he would be really dead.

The slave tells his master that he is not really dead. Even if he is, it is just his bad fate and he cannot blame the noble man.

The image of the Thirteenth Prince Qin Minghu, who was already so old but still acting like a spoiled child on his father's lap, and the scene of the eunuch struggling desperately in the water flashed through his mind. The two images seemed to overlap. The Twelfth Prince Qin Mingfan took a deep breath and suppressed the twisted pleasure in his heart.

"Your Highness, I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe you a medicine to dispel the cold and calm your nerves."

The palace servants who followed him were unaware of the twelfth prince's thoughts, and they felt both relieved and worried.

Fortunately, it was not the twelfth prince who fell into the water. The thirteenth prince had just left. If the twelfth prince had also fallen into the water, none of them would have been able to escape.

"Go ahead, let the doctor wait for me in Qilin Hall. I'll go see my brother first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

............................................

"Cough cough cough..."

A series of violent coughs made his body tremble violently uncontrollably, and every cough seemed to cough out his lungs.

He pinched his neck, coughed and vomited at the same time. The blue veins on his neck bulged, his face turned red, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead, rolling down his cheeks, and together with the lake water he vomited, soaking the ground around him.

The cold autumn wind blows, chilling us to the bone.

After a long while, he gradually slowed down, but his breathing was still heavy, like an old bellows for iron smelting that was being pulled with difficulty.

He slowly opened his eyes, with fear and disbelief still in his eyes.

The twelfth prince did it on purpose. He pushed him into the water on purpose and waited until he lost his strength and was about to sink to the bottom of the water before calling for help.

Why? When did he ever offend the twelfth prince?

Why did the twelfth prince want to harm him?

Moreover, the twelfth prince's actions seemed to be spur of the moment.

The eunuch Li Chongxi's mind flashed back to the indifferent look of the twelfth prince as he watched him struggle on the shore. It was as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.

There was no evidence, no motive, nothing. It was like seeing an ordinary ant on the road and just stepping on it and crushing it.
