Seeing how thoughtful Qiao Jiaojiao was, Qiao Diyi could only suppress the eagerness in his heart and silently wait for the best time to take action.
With the help of Liu Lu, Yu Zhaoyi slowly twisted the fourth prince to the edge of Yuhua Lake.
The fourth prince could still struggle at first, but now he really has no strength.
There were faint tears in his eyes. He had never learned how to drink water, and he was really going to die.
When my brother and mother found out that he was dead, they didn't know how heartbroken they would be.
It's his fault, it's his failure to protect himself.
Yu Zhaoyi couldn't bear to look at the fourth prince again. This child was so innocent, but he couldn't live no matter what!
When Qiao Diyi saw this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!
Qiao Jiaojiao stared at the fourth prince closely, her expression extremely serious.
[This is a bloody lesson, and it is also to nail Yu Zhaoyi to death for murdering the emperor's heir! 】
I saw Yu Zhaoyi mustering up her courage, and with the help of Liu Lu, she ruthlessly pushed the fourth prince into Yuhua Lake!
thump!
The water splashed, and the fourth prince immediately opened his mouth to call for help, but the lake water poured into his mouth in an instant!
"Help...help...help!"
The voice of the fourth prince sounded intermittently, rising and sinking in the lake, rising and sinking again.
After repeating this process several times, the fourth prince completely lost his strength. After sinking again, a few bubbles popped up on the surface of the water, and he never came up again.
Qiao Diyi's palms were already soaked with sweat, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing that there was no movement in the lake, Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu felt weak. They no longer dared to stay for a long time, so they helped each other and left in a hurry!
Such a big thing happened. In order to get rid of suspicion, they must appear in front of people as soon as possible and pretend to be nonchalant!
"Liu Lu, let's go! The faster, the better!"
Yu Zhaoyi said in a trembling voice, and the skirt under her feet was thrown away like a wave, as if if she took a step slower, something would catch up with her.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw the figures of Yu Zhaoyi and Liu Lu running away around the rockery. Just as she was about to call for help, Qiao Diyi had already jumped down from the tree.
He quickly rushed to the edge of Yuhua Lake, placed Qiao Jiaojiao on the grass aside, and said quickly:
"Little sister, don't move around, wait here for the second brother!"
Qiao Diyi turned around and dived into the lake, disappearing like a flexible fish on the water.
Fu Shui is a skill that must be learned in the military, and Qiao Diyi was brought up by Qiao Zhongguo. He threw himself into the water at the age of three or four, and his water properties are excellent.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately called out the Merit Mall and spent her money to redeem a Restoration Talisman.
[Just resuscitating Sha Baitian is not enough. After all, he is still so young, and the lake is deep and cold. If he gets a fever and is frightened, he may die in ancient times. 】
[Just give him one step and he will be full of energy! 】
Just as Qiao Jiaojiao finished doing this, Qiao Di popped his head out of the lake with a shout of justice.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked up anxiously and saw Qiao Diyi paddling in the water with one hand and holding the soft Silly Baitian in his other hand.
Qiao Jiaojiao was so anxious that she couldn't wait to speak. She was babbling and reaching out to Qiao Diyi desperately.
[Second brother, second brother, bring him to me quickly! 】
Qiao Diyi still had some energy left, so he swam to the lake, climbed up with all his strength, and placed the fourth prince in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.
The fourth prince's lips had turned white, and his whole body was lying there wet.
Qiao Diyi lay down on the ground and saw that the fourth prince's chest was still rising and falling weakly.
Qiao Jiaojiao didn't dare to delay, she leaned forward and placed her right hand on the fourth prince's face.
【Recover as before! Quickly help Shabaitian recover as before! 】
The golden light flickered slightly and penetrated from Qiao Jiaojiao's palm into the fourth prince's skin.
Qiao Diyi felt a little unsure. He knew that his younger sister had a magical merit mall, but after all, it was related to the life of the fourth prince.
According to the life-saving method he learned, he should help the fourth prince breathe now and then compress his chest.
After waiting for a few breaths, Qiao Diyi couldn't sit still when he saw that the fourth prince had not moved yet.
He clasped his hands and was about to press them on the fourth prince's chest when a weak cough suddenly sounded.
Qiao Diyi turned around and saw that the fourth prince turned his head towards Qiao Jiaojiao, and the lake water he had just choked in was slowly flowing out of his mouth.
【Very good! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly leaned down to get close to Sha Baitian's face, and found that his originally pale skin was slowly returning to color.
[Thank God, thank you, the old King of Hell, for your unrequited kindness! 】
[Sibaitian, please open your eyes and take a look! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao pinched the fourth prince's face and used some strength on her hands.
The fourth prince was in a daze, and a milky sound sounded in his ears, which he had never heard before.
This made him extremely confused. Was he dead or alive?
He clearly remembered that Yu Zhaoyi pushed him into the lake, and no one came to save him. He had no strength and could not breathe. He slowly sank...
[It's over, why didn't you open your eyes for a long time? Could it be that he was suffocated for too long and suffered brain damage? 】
[It shouldn't be. The restoration talisman says that any damage can be healed instantly and restored to the original state! 】
【Silly Baitian! Wake up! If you don't wake up, I'll pinch you hard! 】
The fourth prince was confused.
Silly and sweet? Who is Silly Baitian? Is this calling him?
"ah!"
There was a sudden sting on his cheek, causing him to scream out instinctively.
Qiao Diyi: "..."
Little sister, you are really pinching me...
Fortunately, by accident, the fourth prince really woke up!
The fourth prince slowly opened his eyes and saw a blue sky with a few white clouds.
Then a little chirp popped into the screen, and then a pair of big, bright eyes.
【woke up! Silly Baitian woke up! Amitabha! 】
The fourth prince was slightly startled at first, and the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.
Sister Qiao...
Is this the voice of sister Qiao?
Sister Qiao can talk?
[Hey, this silly Baitian is still stupid. Does he not believe that he is still alive? 】
[It was not in vain. I spent 120 merit points all at once, and I finally saved this kid! 】
The fourth prince slowly stretched out his hand and touched Qiao Jiao's delicate little face in a daze.
Sister Qiao obviously didn't open her mouth, but he really heard Sister Qiao's voice!
Did Sister Qiao save him again?
Chapter 102: Survived the calamity of death!
"Fourth Prince, are you okay?"
Qiao Diyi's concerned voice sounded. He was soaked all over, and his clothes clung to his body, reflecting his strong muscles.
"Second brother of the Qiao family, was it you who went into the lake to save me?"
There was some strength in the fourth prince's voice, and he could feel that the discomfort in his body was slowly disappearing.
[Of course, my second brother jumped right in, and he rescued you as soon as I redeemed the talisman. 】
The fourth prince suddenly turned his head to look at Qiao Jiaojiao.
Sure enough it wasn't his hallucination!
[What are you doing looking at me, Silly Baitian? If you feel better, get up quickly and go back to Funing Hall to make a scene! 】
[Yu Zhaoyi thought that Sha Baitian would definitely die, but then Sha Baitian suddenly appeared, not knowing how to scare her. 】
[The Queen and the Prince can't find anyone at the moment, so they're probably going crazy, right? 】
[My second brother also has to change his clothes, otherwise everyone will know that our Qiao family is involved in others——]
When the fourth prince felt the last trace of discomfort disappear from his body, Qiao Jiaojiao's voice stopped abruptly.
The fourth prince waited for a while but didn't hear Qiao Jiaojiao's voice ringing again, and couldn't help but feel panicked.
He sat up suddenly and grabbed Qiao Jiaojiao's shoulders tightly.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened slightly.
[Let me go, what happened to Silly Baitian? It scared me! 】
The fourth prince listened carefully and found that there was really no sound.
Why didn't Sister Qiao speak again?
"Sister Qiao?" the fourth prince called cautiously.
Qiao Jiaojiao's face was full of confusion, and she babbled a few words in response to him.
The fourth prince was confused, he didn't understand what happened.
Qiao Diyi interpreted the fourth prince's strange behavior as a sign that he was at the critical moment of life and death and had not yet recovered.
But as the younger sister said just now, it's time for the fourth prince to return to Funing Hall, otherwise there will be chaos ahead.
"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, let me take you back first."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly when she heard this.
[That's right, that's right, the opportunity cannot be missed, take it by surprise, Sha Baitian goes back quickly, kills the second prince and catches Yu Zhaoyi by surprise! 】
The fourth prince glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao. After realizing that he might never hear the voice just now, he nodded with some disappointment:
"Please, second brother of the Qiao family, please send me back, but you don't have to show up with me later. Today's matter is of great importance. I don't want to involve the Qiao family. This will also be detrimental to you, second brother of the Qiao family."
Being able to say such words showed that the fourth prince had completely calmed down.
Qiao Diyi nodded, which was exactly what his little sister said.
Holding Qiao Jiaojiao in his left hand and the fourth prince in his right hand, he stood up easily and walked quickly towards Funing Hall.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked back over Qiao Diyi's shoulder and thought to herself:
[The second prince just chased Meng Guxue out. I wonder what happened to them both. 】
[The male protagonist will never kill the female protagonist to silence her. I wonder how he will coax the female protagonist. 】
[As for Meng Guxue, hey, she better have some brains, otherwise she will be fooled by the second prince in a matter of minutes! 】
The fourth prince also turned his head.
He fixedly stared at Yuhua Lake, which had completely calmed down. His eyebrows were heavy, and his calm and calm look was completely different from that of a five-year-old child who had just passed through the gate of hell.
This lesson was too profound for him to remember for a lifetime.
"Never again..."
The fourth prince murmured lightly, his voice was so soft that Qiao Diyi couldn't hear him clearly.
"Your Highness, what did you say?"
The fourth prince slowly withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
"It's nothing, Brother Qiao, thank you for saving my life. I will always remember your life-saving grace."
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao was completely relaxed and felt relieved.
She looked at Qiao Diyi steadily, with a happy smile on her face.
[My second brother is so awesome! It seems that I really underestimate my second brother on weekdays! 】
[Today, from tracking Shabaitian to successfully rescuing Shabaitian, the second brother strategized and followed every step, which is awesome! 】
[It turns out that the eight hundred people in my Qiao family are equally divided! 】
Qiao Diyi: "..."
Little sister, you really think too highly of your second brother.
The second brother is just a striker, but you are the one who is really strategizing!
But he couldn't say this. Facing the fourth prince's thanks, he could only say with a naive smile:
"Your Majesty, it's all as it should be. You don't have to be so polite."
Qiao Jiaojiao smiled, her eyes curved into little crescents.
[It's great, Silly Baitian survived the disaster! 】
[From today on, every day is new and unknown to Shabaitian! If you are blessed with great fortune and good luck, you will be blessed with good fortune! 】
When Qiao Diyi heard this, he also quietly relaxed his eyebrows.
It's great, this is also a big mountain that weighs on their whole family, and now it has finally been moved away!
Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi's steps became brisk. The May breeze blew, and not only did he not feel cold, but he also felt very cool!
The fourth prince was swaying in Qiao Diyi's arms, and suddenly he held Qiao Jiaojiao's little hand tightly.
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at the fourth prince with some confusion, but the fourth prince smiled sweetly at her.
He knew that it must have been Sister Qiao's voice just now, and it was the talisman that Sister Qiao used to save him!
Sister Qiao saved him again!
Sister Qiao is indeed a little fairy sent by God. He likes Sister Qiao the most!
He will be kind to Sister Qiao all his life, better than Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao and the two brothers from the Qiao family!
Qiao Diyi's footsteps were fast, and after a while, the original side hall was in sight.
Apparently the queen and the prince had discovered that the fourth prince was missing and were sending people everywhere to look for him.
The fourth prince saw this and patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder.
"Brother Qiao, just come here. I'll just walk over there later. Hide yourself quickly and change your clothes as soon as possible. I can take care of it next."
Qiao Diyi saw the palace attendant not far away, nodded secretly, and put the fourth prince down.
"That's fine, please be careful, Your Highness!"
The fourth prince nodded slightly, then ran out, shouting: "Come quickly, Yu Zhaoyi wants to kill me!"
As soon as the figure of the fourth prince appeared, those in the palace were immediately overjoyed.
As a result, they were so frightened that they almost fainted when they saw the fourth prince in a state of utter distress and heard that cry.
This...did they hear it right? ?
Qiao Diyi couldn't help but express doubts after hearing this, why didn't the fourth prince mention the second prince?
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded secretly.
[Shabaitian is really smart! 】
Qiao Diyi:?
[The second prince had just removed himself completely, and now he rashly calls out that the second prince is having an affair with Yu Zhaoyi. He might get bitten back by the second prince. 】
[After all, such an accusation involves the royal family's reputation. If it cannot be killed, it will in turn be the fault of the fourth prince for spreading rumors. 】
[It is better to find Yu Zhaoyi first. If Emperor Yong wants to interrogate, the second prince will definitely be implicated. Then we can peel off the cocoon and make Emperor Yong himself doubt the second prince. Such a blow will be more powerful! 】
[Let's see now... how important Princess Yuliu and the Second Prince are to Emperor Yong's heart. 】
[If the Dog Emperor can even tolerate the Second Prince touching his woman, come on, our Qiao family can only think about how to kill the Dog Emperor, otherwise the Second Prince will never stand up! 】
[The king wants his minister to die, but the minister is angry and does the opposite. Well, it's very reasonable. 】
Qiao Diyi felt dizzy after being talked about. Seeing the fourth prince leaving surrounded by the palace people, he found a shortcut and went to another side hall prepared for the courtiers to change his clothes.
Mrs. Qiao had long known that the fourth prince would drown at the palace banquet, and was worried that Qiao Zhongguo or his two sons would need to go into the water to save the fourth prince, so she specially prepared two identical sets of clothes for each of them.
One set is worn on the body, and the other set is used as a spare. This way, they have been changed, and no one else can see any flaws.
When Qiao Diyi changed his clothes and reappeared at the entrance of Funing Palace with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, the ministers and family members were leaving one after another.
Chapter 103 The show begins
[Oh ho, it seems the show has begun. Are you trying to push everyone away? 】
[It's a pity that I can't watch the show. 】
Qiao Diyi didn't see his parents, so he ducked into the hall.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked up and saw her parents standing up and about to leave.
She quickly turned her gaze to the superior, and saw the always gentle Queen, whose face was pale, holding the fourth prince tightly in her arms, with a look of fear and anger on her face.
The prince stood aside, his face extremely cold, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking about something.
Right at the Queen's feet, Yu Zhaoyi slumped there. Because her back was to the palace door, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't see her expression.
But looking at her slightly shaking shoulders, it was clear that she was obviously frightened.
Qiao Zhongguo soon saw Qiao Diyi holding Qiao Jiaojiao. He reached out and took Qiao Jiaojiao over, and the family turned around and left the palace.
When the fourth prince saw this, his mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything.
The queen and prince also noticed Qiao Diyi's arrival.
They had just heard from Xiao Si in private that it was Qiao Diyi who jumped into Yuhua Lake and saved his life.
The mother and son kept this great kindness in their hearts, but it was not convenient for them to express it in front of others.
There was water in the Queen's eyes. If Erlang of the Qiao family had not rescued Xiao Si in time, she could no longer imagine what the situation would be like at this moment.
The prince's eyes followed the Qiao family closely, and when Qiao Diyi finally looked over, he nodded lightly to him.
Qiao Diyi knew that the prince was probably angry with the fourth prince, so he smiled naively, showing his big white teeth.
There was finally a hint of warmth on the prince's face. At this moment, a voice singing a promise came from outside the palace:
"The Holy One has arrived!"
The prince's expression suddenly dimmed, and everyone knelt down to salute.
Emperor Yong's face was very ugly. He strode through the crowd and walked into the palace. The corners of his bright yellow clothes were raised, showing the anger in his heart.
Qiao Jiaojiao secretly glanced at Emperor Yong.
[Emperor Dog, if you are still a human being, don't completely chill the hearts of your wife and two children! 】
boom--
The door of Funing Hall was closed.
"Quickly get down, all the rest of the gang, get out of here!"
Eunuch Huang stood guard at the entrance of the palace, with a solemn expression and urging loudly.
After hearing this, everyone quickly got up and left.
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly saw Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng standing there helplessly, with pale faces.
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
[Meng Guxue hasn't come back yet? The second prince probably wouldn't kill her. Did the two of them fall in love while chatting? 】
[Can't? Even if Meng Guxue is a love brain, the second prince is not either. Could it be that the halo of the male and female protagonists attract each other, and they are back to the Mary Sue style? 】
This sentence contains so many modern words that even Qiao's family can't understand it.
Qiao Tianjing could somewhat understand what Qiao Jiaojiao meant, but he did not agree with this guess.
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao's heartbeat continued to sound:
[I feel that the second prince is an absolute egoist. He didn't even fall in love with Meng Guxue at first sight, so maybe he really won't like Meng Guxue. 】
[It seems that the second prince may think that Meng Guxue has something he can exploit...]
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he nodded silently.
The second prince's mind is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he will never be limited to so-called love.
And in his opinion, Meng Guxue was really not good enough to make the second prince fall in love with her.
Qiao Jiaojiao tilted her head, and her expression suddenly changed slightly.
【etc! What Meng Guxue can use, isn't it modern knowledge? 】
【formula! oops! How could I have overlooked such an important thing! 】
[Nowadays, soap, lipstick, and perfume are selling well in Qingzhou. The second prince must have got the news a long time ago. Didn't that stupid Meng Guxue just give away the formula in a hurry just to get on the high branch of the second prince? 】
[Isn't this going to be a business war? 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he frowned immediately.
If this happens, he will really have a headache.
Shilang Meng and Mrs. Meng are going crazy!
As soon as the fourth prince came back, the palace people started shouting everywhere that the banquet had ended early.
Now everyone is leaving, but his daughter has not come back yet. This... isn't this going to harm their family!
The regret in Mrs. Meng's heart was that she had clearly told Meng Guxue to behave herself in the palace before today, but something went wrong!
When Eunuch Huang saw that the Meng family and his wife were motionless, he couldn't help but walked over with a sullen face.
"Shilang Meng, what is this?"
Lord Meng was terrified, "Eunuch Huang, my daughter hasn't come back yet, this... this..."
Eunuch Huang frowned sharply, "Haven't we already sent palace officials everywhere to inform you? Master Meng, don't blame our family for not reminding you. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are very angry now. If something bad happens, everyone in the Meng family will be punished." ——"
Eunuch Huang deliberately prolonged his voice mid-sentence, frightening Shilang Meng and Mrs. Meng to the point where they almost fell to the ground.
"Go to Yuhua Lake and look for it."
Eunuch Huang looked displeased and waved his hands to the two young eunuchs beside him.
Everyone in the palace was notified. Since he didn't come back in time, he must have not received the news, so he could only go to Yuhua Lake.
This young lady from the Meng family is also dishonest despite having some talent. How can anyone go to Yuhua Lake?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Huang felt a little unhappy with Meng Guxue.
He lazily raised his eyes, but unexpectedly met the Qiao family's group who were about to leave, and quickly changed his smile.
"Master Qiao, walk slowly."
Qiao Zhongguo smiled and nodded at Eunuch Huang, turned and left.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt funny in her heart.
[This Eunuch Huang changes his face so quickly. No wonder he is able to serve Emperor Yong. He is really capable! 】
As soon as the Qiao family left, the two young eunuchs left and returned, followed by a hurried-looking Meng Guxue.
There was no joy on her face, and she looked worried.
When Shilang Meng and Mrs. Meng saw her, they were so angry that their teeth started to itch!
This damn girl, does she know that she almost killed everyone in the Meng family!
"Eunuch Huang, our little girl has been found, we...Xiaguan will leave now."
Eunuch Huang glanced sideways and responded softly.
"Mr. Meng, go home quickly."
As Emperor Yong's most trusted personal eunuch, he had this kind of confidence.
Seeing that all the courtiers and family members were gone, Eunuch Huang motioned for everyone to stay outside the palace, and then he carefully pushed open the palace door.
The moment the palace door was pushed open, there was the sound of breaking tea cups falling to the ground, followed by Emperor Yong's angry shout:
"Yu Zhaoyi, how dare you murder the prince!"
Eunuch Huang's shoulders trembled slightly, but he walked in boldly.
In the hall, Yu Zhaoyi lowered her head deeply, and she never argued a word.
At this time, the fourth prince walked out from the queen's side. He knelt in front of Emperor Yong, straightened his back, and said loudly:
"Father, my son and minister want to report."
Chapter 104 The Queen's Determination
When the queen saw the fourth prince kneeling there, her heart felt stinging.
Her mistress was different after all.
Judging from his calm and determined look, he was exactly the same as the young prince back then.
I still remember that in the past, when that woman didn't come to get married, the prince was as innocent as his mistress.
But soon, the Holy Emperor's indifference, his preference for Concubine Jade, and his dislike of her as a queen made the prince hide his true temperament bit by bit.
Back then, when Concubine Jade was diagnosed with pregnancy, she was opposed by all the concubines in the harem and the officials of the former dynasty.
However, none of this could stop the Holy One from going his own way. He even regarded her as the queen as his biggest enemy and was on guard day and night for fear that she would harm his jade concubine.
From that moment on, the smile on the prince's face completely disappeared. He was silent and cautious, and gradually grew into a prince praised by everyone.
It wasn't until Xiaosi was born that the prince gradually became gentle and peaceful.
The Empress knew clearly that the Prince had always regarded the birth of the fourth prince as a symbol of breaking the ice between her and the Holy One. He thought that their family was slowly returning to the past.
The Queen Empress harbored countless grievances in her heart, and the birth of Xiaosi... was her greatest pain.
But for the sake of her two sons, she chose to swallow everything silently.
Xiaosi is smart, kind and simple, the prince is respectful to his brothers and cares about the world, everything is fine, and she is very satisfied.
She put away all her sharp edges, completely let go of Emperor Yong, and worked conscientiously to be a qualified queen.
But even so, someone still stretched out his fangs towards their mother and son!
The last time Xiao Si in the study room was assassinated, although the Holy Master arrested the real culprit, he refused to thoroughly investigate the palace, which already made her feel cold.
If it weren't for Erlang of the Qiao family today, Xiaosi would have died in Yuhua Lake!
This matter has nothing to do with Lao Er!
What if this time, in order to save the second child, the Holy One is still blind and unwilling to seek justice for the fourth child?
So, Your Majesty is careless as a husband, careless as a father, and careless as a king, so don't blame her, a wife, mother and queen, for abandoning the order of human ethics in the world and committing treasonous and unethical things!
The empress clenched her sleeves tightly, her originally pale face showing a hint of determination that was unshakable!
The fourth prince wanted to speak, but the prince's eyes did not look at him, but fixed on Emperor Yong's face.
His eyes were dark and calmer than ever.
Xiaosi is the last line between him and his mother.
If...if in the eyes of the father, the second brother and the dead Jade Concubine are more important than him, the queen and the fourth child, then...he will completely cut off any illusions that he shouldn't have. !
Father, how would you choose?
The fourth prince's back was straight and his tone was calm. From the moment he entered the side hall and heard Yu Zhaoyi speak to the end when Yu Zhaoyi threw him into the lake, he said everything, word for word, without any exaggeration or concealment.
When Emperor Yong heard that Yu Zhaoyi disliked him so much, his face was horrifyingly gloomy.
When he heard that Yu Zhaoyi had met the second prince in private, his expression suddenly changed, and he finally couldn't sit still and stood up.
When he heard that Yu Zhaoyi said that he would poison himself and the prince, Emperor Yong was so angry that he kicked Yu Zhaoyi hard in the chest!
"Bitch, how dare you!"
Yu Zhaoyi flew backwards in an instant. She felt as if her chest was about to burst. Her vision went dark and she spit out a mouthful of blood.
Emperor Yong still couldn't understand his hatred. He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Zhaoyi's hair, half dragging her up.
Yu Zhaoyi's face was as bright as gold paper. Before she could recover, Emperor Yong had already gritted his teeth and asked:
"What is the relationship between you and the second child?"
Yu Zhaoyi opened her eyes faintly, saw Emperor Yong with a distorted expression, and suddenly smiled foolishly:
"Your Majesty, I just admire the second prince. The second prince and I are somewhat similar. I felt happy when I saw him for the first time."
"So I kidnapped the second prince's beloved Miss Sheng and wanted to force him to take me away, but why wasn't he willing?"
"Cough cough cough cough——"
Speaking of this, Yu Zhaoyi couldn't help coughing heavily.
She slowly took a breath and looked up to see Emperor Yong's eyes filled with rage and wanting to kill her. She suddenly smiled sarcastically.
"Your Majesty, you should know best the pain of unrequited love. After all, what you find in your concubine every day is someone else's shadow, isn't it?"
"shut up!"
Emperor Yong seemed to be stung by these words and slapped Yu Zhaoyi hard.
Yu Zhaoyi suddenly tilted to the ground. Emperor Yong's slap was so heavy. Her eyes turned black and the sweet taste in her mouth became stronger.
Not enough, not enough.
She hasn't completely taken Shen Lang out yet, and she hasn't awakened the Dog Emperor's infatuation and guilt for Empress Yu Liu.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhaoyi endured the severe pain in her chest and laughed softly.
"Your Majesty, don't you like hearing this? Do you feel that you are sorry for Empress Yu Liu? After all, you keep saying that you love her to the core, but you are happily lying on my concubine's body~"
"She is also a poor woman. She left her child early, while the man who claims to love her the most is looking for women who look like her one after another."
When Emperor Yong heard this, his eyes turned slightly red, with murderous intent on his face.
He suddenly raised his foot, looking to kill him.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
The empress stood up and stopped Emperor Yong in time.
Her face was calm, but her tone was urgent and fast, for fear that Emperor Yong would kick Yu Zhaoyi to death in his rage.
"Your Majesty, it looks like this Yu Zhaoyi is bent on seeking death. She tries every word to make His Majesty angry, but she completely ignores her dick."
"Yu Zhaoyi can say poisonous words to the emperor and the prince in front of the second son. I don't believe that the two of them have no friendship at all!"
"After all, if you are such a treasonous person, how can you dare to say it to anyone else other than the person you are tearing your heart out from?"
"Your Majesty, aren't you still willing to call your second son for a confrontation?"
Emperor Yong heard the sound and turned around to see the queen, and saw her standing in a phoenix robe with a cold and determined look on her face, revealing the majesty of the mother of a country.
Emperor Yong could not help but be slightly startled.
It's been a long time since the queen was as sharp and aggressive as she is now.
He almost forgot that the queen had such a temper before.
Yu Zhaoyi was already prepared to die, but when the queen interrupted her, she suddenly felt terrified.
No, the second prince cannot be involved!
If she hadn't tried every means to see him today, so many troubles wouldn't have happened. If this caused all his previous efforts to be wasted, she would really be an unforgivable sinner!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhaoyi wanted to stimulate Emperor Yong again, but the queen suddenly raised her eyebrows, cutting off her escape!
"Yu Zhaoyi, I know that you want to protect your second child wholeheartedly, but if you say more, you will be too deliberate."
"If I were you, this drama would be almost over. Do you really think the Holy One is so easy to deceive?"
When Emperor Yong heard this, he looked gloomy and shouted sharply:
"Huang Pei, send the second prince here!"
Chapter 105 Father, sons and ministers are guilty
Huang Pei responded urgently and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead when he left Funing Hall.
Things can't go any better today!
The empress came with great force. Seeing that she had regained some of her former temperament, she was afraid that she would no longer allow the Holy Emperor to continue to protect the second prince.
If the Holy One still insists on having his own way today, I am afraid that the husband and wife will be separated and the father and son will become enemies!
Thinking of this, Huang Pei was so frightened that he moved faster and faster.
He took a shortcut from Chunhua Garden to Chonghua Palace. Unexpectedly, he arrived at Yuhua Lake and saw the figure of the second prince in the distance.
He stood alone in front of the statue of Empress Yu Liu, his pearl-like face full of loneliness, which made people feel unbearable just looking at it.
Huang Pei's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Is the second prince just feeling this and missing Empress Yuliu now, or is he aware of what happened before and is he ready to play the emotional card?
He did not dare to think deeply, so he hurried forward to greet you and shouted in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is calling for you urgently!"
The second prince was slightly shocked. He seemed to be too absorbed in looking at the statue, and was startled by Huang Pei.
Upon seeing this, Huang Pei quickly confessed, but the second prince waved his hand.
"Eunuch Huang, what do you want from me?"
"This... Your Highness, you'd better go to Funing Palace to have a look."
Huang Pei hesitated for a moment and answered respectfully.
The second prince's eyes flashed slightly, this old slave is so slippery!
In an instant, he made a sad and guilty look, and whispered: "It just so happens that I also have something to report to my father."
After saying that, the second prince strode away. Eunuch Huang was slightly startled and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at the door of Funing Palace, before they could open the door, the second prince suddenly knelt down on his knees and said in a loud voice:
"Father, my son is guilty, please punish me!"
Eunuch Huang's hand that was about to push the palace door suddenly stopped. He was a man after all, and he understood the second prince's plan in an instant.
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his hands to the eunuchs and maids around him: "Stand back! Everyone, stand back!"
When other palace people saw the second prince kneeling in public, they all turned pale and trembled with fear.
They don't want to hear it!
If there is some secret, all of them present will lose their heads!
Now when Eunuch Huang shouted, the people in the palace retreated one after another and stood far away as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
At this time, the second prince tapped his forehead on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Father, today Yu Zhaoyi used Xiu Ran as bait to lure my son and ministers to meet at Yuhua Lake."
"My son knew that this was unethical, but because he was worried about Xiu Ran, he still went to the meeting beyond the rules. This is the first sin."
"After Yu Zhaoyi saw her son, she actually revealed her thoughts that she shouldn't have. The son was so shocked that he did not leave in time to be alone with the concubine. This is the second crime."
"Then, Yu Zhaoyi begged Erchen to take her out of the palace. In order to find out Yu Zhaoyi's true intentions, Erchen pretended to agree, but she actually said treacherous words in an attempt to murder her father and the prince's brother!"
"My son scolded her on the spot, but thinking that she was really similar to his mother and concubine, he felt compassion. Seeing that she promised not to talk nonsense, he stopped pursuing her and helped her hide it. This is the third crime! "
"However, I just stood in front of the statue of my mother-in-law and thought for a long time. I think that my mother-in-law admires my father and I definitely don't want my father to be in any danger."
"Moreover, the beauty of the mother-in-law is unique in the world. Sons and ministers should not compare anyone with the mother-in-law. This is blasphemy against the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law knew about it, I don't know how to be heartbroken."
"Therefore, I decided to expose Yu Zhaoyi's disobedient heart. I also confessed the three crimes to my father and begged my father to severely punish me so that I can feel repentant and guilty."
"But I am willing to swear to God that I and Yu Zhaoyi are innocent and have no illicit affair. Please be aware of it!"
After the second prince finished speaking, there was silence inside and outside the Funing Hall.
The queen was sitting behind the case, with her right hand on the case, and the veins on the back of her fair hand were popping out at this moment!
have a look!
Look how scheming this guy is!
He took the lead and apologized every word, but in just a few words he completely blamed himself and put everything on Yu Zhaoyi's head!
He even moved out the Jade Concubine, implying that the Holy Lord regarded Yu Zhaoyi as the Jade Concubine, which was a blasphemy against the Jade Concubine.
She also distorted Concubine Jade's affection for the Holy Emperor in an attempt to arouse the guilt in the Holy Emperor's heart.
How does Concubine Jade treat the Holy Emperor? Can she, the queen, not know?
In order to get out of this incident, the second prince even used his own mother and concubine as a shield. He is really a good and filial son!
At only thirteen years old, someone with such a mind and reaction is truly horrifying!
The queen's face was extremely cold. She slowly turned her head to look at Emperor Yong in the palace, and saw that he looked stunned, as if he really heard what he said.
Seeing this, the queen slowly raised her lips, but her smile was full of ridicule and ridicule.
Men are really mean, and His Majesty is especially mean!
There is nothing she dares not say or think now. The second prince's words are extremely beautiful, but upon closer inspection, any "compassion" or "admiration" cannot stand!
The prince had a private meeting with the concubine, and the concubine secretly had feelings for the prince. This was against human ethics.
According to the old system, palace concubines must be executed, and princes could be imprisoned for life or demoted to common people!
Thinking of this, the queen slowly stood up.
In this palace, Emperor Yong is the absolute master, and no one can comment on his decisions, even she, the queen.
But she hoped Emperor Yong had better think carefully.
Because this is no longer as simple as dealing with the private meeting of the emperor's concubine, this is asking him to choose between his three sons!
If today, the Holy Emperor would rather wrong her mistress than let the second prince escape intact.
So in the future, will the Holy One pull the prince down from the position of crown prince and hand over Dayongjiang Mountain to the second prince?
The prince quietly stood by the queen's side. He had not said a word since Emperor Yong's appearance.
He was also waiting for Emperor Yong to make his choice.
When Yu Zhaoyi heard the second prince's voice, her eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.
She could hear that the second prince placed all the blame on her.
However, she didn't blame him.
Back then, she was trapped in a romantic field and suffered bullying and contempt. It was he who sent someone to rescue her from it.
Even though she knew that he wanted something from her, she really felt happy at the first sight of such a clean young man, and then she was willing to use him.
If it hadn't been for Sheng Xiuran's appearance, she wouldn't have had extravagant hopes.
Because she had always felt in her heart that for a young man as flawless as the Second Prince, no woman in the world could be worthy of him!
What happened today was caused by her, so now, let's use this despicable life to pave the way for him one last time!
I hope he can remember her forever...
Thinking of this, Yu Zhaoyi suddenly raised her voice and spoke, her voice frivolous and full of sorrow.
"Second Prince, do you really think so little of me?"
Chapter 106 The prince takes action head on
The second prince knelt outside the palace. When he heard Yu Zhaoyi's voice, his expression was unexpectedly solemn, as if he didn't even know that Yu Zhaoyi was inside.
"Yu Zhaoyi, I have made it very clear to you, are you still stubborn?"
Yu Zhaoyi smiled foolishly in the palace, "Who can break the word love? Since you are so heartless, that's all!"
Yu Zhaoyi's last note suddenly sounded louder, and the next moment she used all her strength to get up and hit the pillar beside her hard!
The prince's fingers moved slightly, then tightened them again in an instant.
No one in the palace knew that he knew martial arts.
This Yu Zhaoyi wanted to die to excuse her second brother. However, her life and death in today's situation was already determined, and it was not worth it for him to expose this trump card.
boom--
Without anyone to stop him, Yu Zhaoyi hit the pillar hard, with a dull and shocking sound.
The queen took hold of the fourth prince in time and pressed his head into her arms.
The fourth prince is not afraid. He has also been through the gate of hell once, and he has already foreseen Yu Zhaoyi's ending.
No matter what happens to the second brother today, there is no way Yu Zhaoyi will survive.
A cluster of blood flowers bloomed on the palace pillars, bright red.
Yu Zhaoyi slid down slowly against the pillar, staring directly in the direction of Emperor Yong with his eyes wide open.
This was the last calculation Yu Zhaoyi made with his own life.
She had long heard that Concubine Yu committed suicide and never closed her eyes. When Emperor Yong arrived, Concubine Yu's eyes were still open.
She looks similar to Concubine Yu, hoping that Emperor Yong could use this to remember the tragic death of his beloved woman and firmly protect the last trace of Concubine Yu's blood!
Emperor Yong watched Yu Zhaoyi die after touching the pillar. Looking at those eyes that were gradually losing their luster, he suddenly took a step back.
He didn't know how many times he had dreamed of this face and expression.
Every time he dreamed, he couldn't stop Yu Liu from committing suicide, and every time he had to re-experience the heartbreaking pain and despair.
The prince saw Emperor Yong's sudden change of expression and couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes.
He probably had the answer in his heart.
Outside the palace, the second prince only heard a muffled sound, and there was no more movement from Yu Zhaoyi.
There was a hidden guess in his mind, and he thought secretly: At the critical moment, he is not a waste.
He paused for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted: "Father? I still want my father to punish me!"
Squeak——
The door of Funing Palace suddenly opened from the inside. Emperor Yong stood at the door of the palace, looking down at the second prince kneeling on the ground.
The second prince raised his head at the right time, his face full of fear.
Emperor Yong met the second prince's eyes and his heart trembled slightly.
Compared to Yu Zhaoyi, the second child's autumn eyes are exactly the same as Yu Liu's.
However, the second child even inherited his temperament from Yu Liu. He was just as disobedient and made him sad...
"Queen." Emperor Yong suddenly spoke.
The Queen stepped forward step by step and stood one step behind Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong turned his head and looked at the queen, and said in a calm tone: "Yu Zhaoyi has confessed. She died innocently, so there is no need to keep the whole body."
The queen said nothing.
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the second prince on the ground, and continued:
"The second child has indeed done something wrong. Although it didn't lead to a big mistake, he must be punished. How does the queen think he should be punished?"
The queen didn't even raise her eyelids, but a chill arose in her heart.
The Holy Emperor didn't want to punish the second prince severely, and at the same time he didn't want the prince and the fourth prince to break away from him, so he threw this mess to her.
Is he sure that she has been docile and obedient for so many years, and today she will be like before, complying with his wishes in everything, and solving his problems?
It's ridiculous. Does the Holy One know that the second prince hurt her son?
She is the Queen of the Holy Emperor, but she is also the mother of Xiaosi!
"Returning to the Holy Spirit, according to the old rules, if the prince has an affair with the concubine and causes chaos in the harem, his clan status should be reduced and he should be demoted to a commoner."
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Queen, the second child is not guilty of this."
The queen had long expected that Emperor Yong would stop him. She looked calm and said calmly:
"I'm just following the old routine. If your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, you might as well make your own decision."
Emperor Yong hesitated a little. At this time, the second prince kowtowed to the ground and said with sorrow in his voice: "My son, I acted carelessly and caused trouble. I will let my father punish me!"
As soon as the prince led the fourth prince to the queen's side, he heard Emperor Yong say in a deep voice:
"Second brother, you really deserve the punishment. From today on, you will be fined for one year and grounded for one year. Without my will, you will not be allowed to leave Chonghua Palace!"
The second prince faced the ground, and when he heard this, he slightly stretched his eyebrows.
Such a dangerous level has been passed.
Just as he was about to thank him, the queen's cold voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, please send the second prince to the clan mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the second prince frowned again.
Being banned from the Chonghua Palace and being banned from the sect's residence are completely different. Once a relative of the emperor enters the sect's residence, it must be a big mistake.
After entering the sect's mansion, he was considered stained, and he was further away from that position!
Emperor Yong's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and his mood could not be seen.
The queen was not afraid at all and continued to speak:
"Your Majesty, although the second prince did not make a big mistake today, he was bewitched by Yu Zhaoyi after all. He was even willing to cover up her attempt to murder the Holy Majesty and the prince."
"And today, Xiao Si almost died at the hands of Yu Zhaoyi! Now that I think about it, I still feel terrified!"
"If the second prince can twist Yu Zhaoyi in front of the Holy Master in time, there will be no need for Xiao Si to walk through the gate of hell!"
"I just want the second prince to reflect deeply. After all, he is only grounded in the clan's mansion for one year, and he is not going to return to the palace forever!"
Seeing that Emperor Yong still disagreed, the queen suddenly walked up to Emperor Yong and knelt down directly!
"Mother!"
The prince and the fourth prince shouted at the same time.
The queen looked resolute, raised her eyes and looked directly at Emperor Yong, and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, I ask myself that I have never treated my second brother unfairly in all these years. Today, when my fourth son is in danger, I cannot bear it."
"Last time Di Zaiying assassinated Xiaosi, the Holy One upheld justice, and I had no intervention. How could I have to do it again today, hurting my and Xiaosi's hearts?"
When Emperor Yong heard the queen suddenly mention Di Zaiying, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Eunuch Huang stood quietly aside. When he heard the queen's words, he thought to himself:
This time the Empress has really got things wrong. The old relationship between Di Zaiying and Empress Yu Liu is already a worry for the Holy Emperor.
At this time, the prince also stood up.
With a calm look on his face, he pulled the fourth prince to kneel beside the queen and said warmly:
"Father, I know that what happened today was not what the second brother wanted. The second brother has always loved Xiaosi. If he knew that Yu Zhaoyi would hurt Xiaosi afterwards, he would never be confused for a moment."
When Emperor Yong heard this, he thought that the prince was interceding on behalf of the second prince.
Unexpectedly, the prince changed the subject and continued:
"After all, the second brother is still too young, that's why he is easily bewitched by Yu Zhaoyi. Therefore, my son and I agree that it is better to send the second brother to the clan mansion to reflect on it."
"At the end of the one-year period, I will personally go to the clan mansion to pick up my second brother back to the palace. From now on, we, brothers and sisters, will serve our father together!"
When the second prince heard this, he turned his head suddenly and looked at the prince steadily.
In so many years, this is the first time that the prince has faced him head-on!
Chapter 107 The true appearance of Emperor Yong
"Father, what do you think?"
The prince's eyes were clear, always looking at Emperor Yong.
The second prince used the cover of his sleeves to slowly tighten his hands.
He knew that the Queen and the Crown Prince were taking action together today, and they would not give up until their goals were achieved.
If he waits now and forces Emperor Yong to make a choice, it will only consume Emperor Yong's affection for his mother and concubine.
If he simply retreats to advance, Emperor Yong will definitely care about his sensibleness, feel guilty about him, and take care of him more!
It's only been a year in the clan's mansion, and he has plenty of ways to turn around!
Thinking of this, the second prince knocked his forehead to the ground and said loudly:
"Father, my fourth brother is in danger, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. The clan's residence has been banned for one year, so I should go."
"My son, I will definitely reflect on this in my clan's mansion, and I will never make such a mistake again."
"Father, please follow the instructions of mother and queen and send your son to the clan's mansion!"
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the four people kneeling on the ground. They were his queen and his three sons.
Their expressions were so respectful.
Emperor Yong's eyebrows were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he waved his hand.
"That's all. Then send the second son to the clan's mansion to reflect for a year. The fourth son was frightened today. The queen will comfort him and comfort him. That's all."
After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he stopped looking at everyone and walked away.
Seeing this, Eunuch Huang hurriedly saluted the queen and others, and then hurriedly followed Emperor Yong.
Seeing that he had gone far away, Eunuch Huang guessed Emperor Yong's thoughts and asked respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the clan residence is cold and the conditions are simple. Have you prepared anything in advance for the second prince?"
Emperor Yong's face was cold. Just when Eunuch Huang thought that Emperor Yong was angry and did not want to say more, Emperor Yong suddenly spoke again:
"The second brother is really arrogant. He actually arranged it for Yu Zhaoyi. Even I was kept in the dark."
When Eunuch Huang heard this, he was shocked. It turned out that even the Holy One had noticed it!
Thinking of this, Eunuch Huang was shocked.
Yes!
Based on his understanding of His Majesty, if His Majesty did not want to send the second prince to the clan's mansion, then the Queen would kneel down all day and night, and His Majesty would not change his mind.
After all, in order to get the Holy Emperor to abort the child in Empress Yu Liu's belly, the Empress and the concubines in the harem had done this.
So...it is the Holy One who wants to punish the second prince!
But the Holy Emperor just didn't say anything, and instead let the Queen make the decision.
This is not only punishing the second prince, but also testing the Queen's mind!
As soon as Eunuch Huang's thoughts reached this point, he heard Emperor Yong murmur:
"Let the second child go to the clan mansion and suffer for a year. I guess I was too kind to him, which actually made him have lawless thoughts and got involved in my pillow."
"If he is obedient and obedient, I will give him some things for Yu Liu, but if he comes to snatch them away, it will be different..."
When Eunuch Huang heard this, he paused slightly in his steps. Looking at Emperor Yong's tall and straight back, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up!
This is the true appearance of His Majesty in his mind!
Over the years, the Holy Emperor has become more and more obsessed with Empress Yu Liu, and has repeatedly indulged the Second Prince.
He had almost forgotten that the Holy Emperor had been so calculating and manipulative of people's hearts in the past, and he had gradually ascended to this supreme position!
If the second prince obediently obeys the Holy One's arrangement, the Holy One may really do whatever he wants because of his obsession with Empress Yu Liu.
But today's incident completely exposed the second prince's ambition, and the Holy Emperor finally became alert!
Eunuch Huang exhaled slowly and followed Emperor Yong's steps cautiously, not daring to say another word.
In front of the Funing Palace, the prince and the fourth prince helped the queen up.
"Mother, let's go back to the palace." The prince said warmly.
The queen nodded with a gentle look on her face, and at this moment she completely relieved herself of the sharp thorn in facing Emperor Yong.
"Let's go, Zhan'er, hold Xiaosi, Xiaosi is tired today."
The fourth prince quickly shook his head, "Mother, there is no need to hold the fourth child, the fourth prince is doing great!"
He didn't know what kind of magical object Sister Qiao's talisman was, but he really felt great all over, without any discomfort.
Upon seeing this, the prince rubbed the fourth prince's head lovingly, "Okay, then it's up to you."
The mother and son were about to leave when the second prince suddenly said in a deep voice: "Bear off my mother, my queen, and my brother."
Upon hearing this, the prince turned slightly to the side, and faced the second prince's extremely beautiful face, he smiled warmly.
"Second brother, take good care of yourself in the clan mansion. We brothers will meet again in a year."
The second prince clenched his fists fiercely, with a slight smile on his face, "Thank you for your concern, eldest brother. My second brother will be back in time."
The prince nodded slightly and looked away from the second prince.
"Mother, be careful where you step."
The prince held the queen's arm, the mother and son chatted and laughed, and slowly walked away against the pink clouds in the evening.
The second prince stood there steadily, the expression on his face becoming extremely sinister little by little.
After working so hard for so long, I didn't expect that it would come to a complete failure!
What went wrong!
The second prince's eyes suddenly focused and fell on the small figure of the fourth prince.
Since Yu Zhaoyi pushed Xiaosi into the lake, how did he get up because he was still young and had never learned how to swim in the water?
Based on his understanding of Yu Zhaoyi, he must have watched Xiao Si drown before leaving.
So weird.
If Xiaosi hadn't returned unexpectedly and he had appeased Meng Guxue, it stands to reason that no one would have discovered his private meeting with Yu Zhaoyi, and everything would have gone smoothly...
It seems that since the Lantern Festival this year, everything has become bumpy and tortuous, and the prince, like a god, has crushed his plans time and time again.
Who is helping the prince?
The second prince couldn't think of an answer, so he could only clenched his hands reluctantly, turned around and left Funing Palace.
Since he was going to be confined to the Zongren Mansion for a year, many things had to be arranged in advance.
And that Meng Guxue, I don't know if she listened to what I said, but she is an indispensable part of the plan...
The second prince stepped out of Funing Palace step by step and entered Chunhua Garden. From the beginning to the end, he never looked back at the dead Yu Zhaoyi.
That beautiful body had been dancing in the Funing Palace in the morning.
At this time, she was lying coldly on the ground, letting the blood cover her delicate face, and her eyes were still wide open...
Inside Yikun Palace.
The fourth prince was still young after all, so he fell into a deep sleep after being gently coaxed by the queen and prince.
His little hands were holding the corners of the quilt tightly, and he kept mumbling about Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao...
With a gentle smile on her lips, the queen gently touched the fourth prince's head before quietly retreating.
In the outer hall, the prince sat there quietly, the hot tea in his hand untouched.
The queen walked to sit opposite the prince. The mother and son looked at each other, and the queen's eyes turned red.
Chapter 108 is full of mistakes!
"If there is anything wrong with the little four today, the queen mother will really not be able to survive."
The Queen's face was full of fear, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Upon seeing this, the prince quickly stood up and wiped the queen's tears, his face full of guilt and self-blame.
"Mother, it's all the fault of the son and minister. It's the fault of the son and minister who failed to be vigilant and then continued to be vigilant."
"Originally, two personal eunuchs have been arranged for Xiao Si, both of whom are skilled in martial arts. Unexpectedly, when Xiao Si entered the side hall, they were not allowed to follow him."
"From today onwards, no matter what, Xiaosi cannot leave anyone around."
The queen nodded heavily, suddenly remembered something, and grabbed the prince's hand.
"Zhan'er, let Xiaosi learn martial arts secretly like you."
"My mother knows that learning kung fu is very hard, but if Xiaosi cannot protect herself as soon as possible, my mother will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
The prince sat back down opposite the queen and nodded with deep understanding.
However, he had other considerations.
"Mother, my son learned secretly back then. It was forced by the situation. Now I hope that Xiao Si can learn from a famous teacher and learn openly and honestly."
The queen's heart moved slightly, "Zhan'er, what you are talking about is..."
"Master Qiao."
The prince said it simply, obviously he had been thinking about it for a long time.
"Master Qiao is loyal and loyal, and he is the elder whom I admire the most. Moreover, the eldest son of the Qiao family has a beautiful heart, and the second son of the Qiao family has justice in his heart, and he is Xiaosi's savior."
"It would be great if Xiaosi could be Master Qiao's student."
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but look happy, "This is really an excellent idea!"
The prince took the opportunity to pick up the hot tea and offered it to the queen.
The queen finally felt relieved, took the hot tea and took a sip.
The prince felt a little relieved after seeing this, and then continued to speak: "This time, I have completely broken up with my second son."
When the second prince was mentioned, the queen's expression darkened again.
This is Yikun Palace. There is no one else in the palace, and there are confidants guarding the palace outside. The queen dared to lower her voice and said:
"At last he is not so confused that his heart is rotten!"
It's self-evident who this "he" is.
"He is really angry this time. He wants the second son to go to that clan's mansion."
After all, the queen had been married to Emperor Yong for many years. Even though they later divorced, she still knew the man she once loved deeply.
"He is obsessed with that woman, but at least he has not forgotten his imperial power."
"He just wanted to punish the second child, but he was worried that I would add insult to injury and kill him, so he turned around and asked me for my opinion."
"I want to use my hands to punish the second child and teach him a lesson. I also want to warn me not to have any thoughts that I shouldn't have."
"Oh, if the second child can see clearly and obeys me from now on, he may continue to be in a coma and favor the second child."
"But will the second child do it? His ambition is already obvious, and there are old people around him who served Jade Concubine in the past. They must have also instilled a lot of ambition and hatred into the second child."
"Zhan'er, look at it. He has always liked people who are well-behaved and obedient. Now that the second one has shown his fangs, it's time for him to see clearly the difference between the dead and the living!"
After the queen finished speaking, she put the hot tea back on the table. When she looked up, she saw the prince looking at her with a smile.
"Zhan'er, why are you laughing?" the queen asked in confusion.
The prince's eyes glowed, and he curled his lips and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen my mother like this. In my childhood memories, my mother was like this with a deep chest and a lot of talk."
The queen was slightly startled when she heard this, but in an instant, she also started laughing, her face full of relief.
"Zhan'er, it was my mother who was wrong in the past."
"My mother is exhausted both physically and mentally by what happened back then. She is really tired of the days of intrigue. My mother thinks that your position is stable and that if Xiaosi has no fight with others, you will all be in peace."
"Now it seems that the mother is too naive. There will always be fights in this palace. If you don't fight or fight, you will just become a fish on the chopping board!"
"Zhan'er, from today on, don't have any expectations for him anymore. The Queen Mother will stand up and protect you and Xiaosi from the wind and rain!"
The prince couldn't help but frown when he heard the words. He opened his mouth, but seeing the queen's high-spirited look, he swallowed back the rest of the words.
What he wanted to say was: Mother, my children have grown up.
In the past, you protected Er Chen and Xiao Si. From now on, Er Chen will protect Xiao Si and you!
"Mother, you are also frightened today. Please have a good sleep with Xiaosi. Today's events are still a bit strange. I need to find out."
The queen was very relieved about the prince and nodded gently.
"Okay, Zhan'er, be careful."
When the prince walked out of Yikun Palace, the sky outside was already dark.
He looked up at the palace lanterns swaying in the wind under the eaves, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Just now, Xiaosi returned to Funing Hall in a wet state. When he opened his mouth to identify Yu Zhaoyi, he had already secretly sent people to arrest Liu Lu, the palace maid next to Yu Zhaoyi.
This insider should be kept well, as he might be able to "make things even better" in the future.
However, there are still two things he can't figure out now.
One is Miss Sheng's family.
Yu Zhaoyi tied the Miss Sheng family to a rockery and forced her second brother to meet her. Why did the Miss Sheng family disappear inexplicably later?
Secondly, he was really grateful to the Erlang of the Qiao family for saving Xiaosi's life, but ordinary people would never set foot in Yuhua Lake. How did the Erlang of the Qiao family arrive in time to save Xiaosi?
The prince had no idea for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he walked out and saw that the direction was Chunhua Garden.
————
Chonghua Palace.
The second prince sat behind the case with a serious look on his face, and asked in a cold voice: "You didn't find both of them?"
Liuyun knelt down with a look of fear on his face and shouted: "This slave is incompetent!"
The second prince stood up slowly. The candlelight cast a layer of warm light on his extremely handsome face, but it still could not hide the coldness between his brows.
On the way back to Chonghua Palace, he was trying to figure out Emperor Yong's thoughts. When he came to his senses, he remembered that he had not seen the maid next to Yu Zhaoyi just now.
When he had a private meeting with Yu Zhaoyi, the palace maid was by his side the whole time, and seeing how close Yu Zhaoyi was to the palace maid, he probably didn't hide anything from her!
Such a hidden danger must not be left alone!
When he returned to Chonghua Palace, he found that Sheng Xiuran had not returned yet!
Nowadays, outsiders think that he and Sheng Xiuran are deeply in love, so this person must be found.
Otherwise, Sheng Mingcheng's lawsuit some time ago may be revealed by someone who is interested.
He sent all the palace people out to look for Sheng Xiuran and Liu Lu, both openly and secretly, but he couldn't find either of them!
Now that everything was wrong in one place or two, the second prince felt at a loss for the first time.
"I will leave for the clan mansion tonight to show my determination to repent. Liuyun, you stay here and continue to search."
"If Sheng Xiuran is found, she will be placed under house arrest in Chonghua Palace. She will not be allowed to take a step and no one will be allowed to see her."
"As for Liu Lu, kill without mercy!"
Liuyun bowed his head and kowtowed, respectfully.
How she wanted to go to the clan mansion with His Highness.
But she knew in her heart that during the year when His Highness was away from the palace, she still needed to deliver messages and continue operations, and she could not do whatever she wanted.
The second prince's brows relaxed slightly when he saw Liu Yun being so obedient.
It's still useful.
At this time, Zhou Bo ran in from outside the hall in panic, his face extremely pale.
"Your Highness, this old slave will accompany you!"
Chapter 109 Either life or death, no return
The second prince couldn't help but frown when he saw Uncle Zhou looking so frightened.
"Uncle Zhou, who are you talking about in front of you again? I'm just going to live in the clan's mansion for a year. It won't be a problem."
"It's not in the way? How could it be that it's not in the way!"
Seeing that Uncle Zhou was so excited, he held the second prince's arm tightly.
When the second prince saw this, he winked at Liu Yun and said, "Go out and keep looking."
Liuyun respectfully stepped back.
When Uncle Zhou saw that there was no one around, he immediately said with red eyes: "Your Highness, this old slave has already said that he is ruthless!"
"Back then, he clearly swore in front of the princess that he would protect you no matter what, but now he turned around and ordered you to be detained in the clan mansion!"
"Your Highness, as soon as this sect is gone, you will bear the responsibility for the crime. He is trying to destroy your hope of ascending to that position!"
Uncle Zhou hated Emperor Yong so much that he gritted his teeth.
I hate that his cavalry broke through the gate of the North Kingdom, I hate that he forced Princess Yu Liu, and I hate that he broke his oath and was ruthless to the second prince!
The second prince looked gloomy, but said lightly:
"Uncle Zhou, don't be discouraged. How the historian and civil servants write it will be decided by the final winner."
"Just one year in the clan's mansion can't change anything."
"Furthermore, I have stumbled on the Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet. It's time for me to hide my capabilities and bide my time and temporarily fade away from everyone's attention."
Uncle Zhou slowly felt relieved when he saw that the second prince was still unfazed by the great changes.
But Emperor Yong can ban the second prince from the clan's residence for a year today. Who knows if he will kill the second prince in the future?
He felt that some things couldn't wait any longer!
"Your Highness."
Uncle Zhou suddenly knelt down in front of the second prince.
The second prince hurriedly reached out to help him, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing?"
Uncle Zhou raised his head and looked directly at the second prince with his cloudy eyes, a look of determination on his face.
"Your Highness, please punish me!"
The second prince frowned suddenly, "Uncle Zhou, what have you done again?"
Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I met King Jinyu's people a few days ago!"
"Uncle Zhou!"
The second prince gave a low drink, with a hint of anger on his face.
Uncle Zhou trembled slightly, but he still met the second prince's gaze and said sadly:
"Your Highness, I know there are some things I know you don't want to hear, but I still want to say them!"
"That dog emperor is unreliable. The prince's position is now stable. Once he is allowed to ascend the throne, he will definitely not let you go, His Highness!"
"Your Highness, you are extremely smart and you make every step of the way, but the strength in your hands is too weak, and now you are defeated again and again. If you continue like this, you will lose completely!"
"King Jinyu is the elder brother of the princess and your uncle. He suffered from old illnesses on the battlefield. Now he has no heirs. The hearts of the royal court are uneasy and chaos has begun."
"King Jinyu loved the princess very much in the past, but now he is willing to bet everything on you!"
"Old slave knows that His Highness grew up in the Yong Dynasty and does not want to have anything to do with the Northern Kingdom. But since King Jinyu is willing to give up everything, why don't you accept his power?"
"When the time comes, the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom will be in the hands of His Highness, and the people of this world can live and work in peace and contentment!"
After Uncle Zhou finished speaking, he prostrated himself deeply on the ground and kept kowtowing to the second prince. Even if the second prince reached out to help him, he would not stop.
The second prince couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw the blood stains on the ground.
"Uncle Zhou, why do you have to do this?"
Uncle Zhou continued to kowtow and said in a trembling voice: "Because Your Highness is the only bloodline of the princess, and it was the old slave who watched her grow up."
"It would be fine if His Highness was born mediocre. I only hope that Your Highness will be safe and sound. But Your Highness is extremely smart and resourceful. You were born to be the superior one!"
The candle light was extinguished, illuminating the second prince's face alternately.
If Uncle Zhou had said this in the past, he could have refused with confidence.
Because he planned everything, everything went smoothly all the time.
But these days, he suffered repeated setbacks, and he really felt a sense of powerlessness.
Perhaps, this great cause cannot be accomplished by himself alone.
"Uncle Zhou, stop, let me think carefully."
Uncle Zhou's kowtow paused suddenly, and when he raised his head again, blood flowed down the bridge of his nose and fell on his clothes.
But he didn't care, he just looked at the second prince with great joy.
"Your Highness, I will go with you to the clan mansion. If Your Highness needs it, I can contact them at any time!"
"Um."
The second prince responded lightly, turned around and walked into the back hall.
"Uncle Zhou, pack up and leave now."
This road of no return, which is either life or death, is getting farther and farther.
Once the general has succeeded, thousands of bones will be withered. He doesn't care about how much blood he will tread on his feet or how many lives he will hold in his hands.
After exerting all his strength, he, Shen Yuanbai, recognized the winner and the loser!
"Okay! I'll be fine soon, old slave!"
Uncle Zhou happily agreed.
————
The prince, led by an old eunuch, arrived at the rockery where the second prince and Yu Zhaoyi had an appointment during the day.
He looked around, thoughtfully.
The old eunuch held the lamp beside him, silent and respectful.
Prince Zhuangruo asked casually: "How many years have you been in Chunhua Garden?"
The old eunuch hurriedly responded: "It has been twenty-four years since I returned to you, Your Highness."
The prince nodded slightly, and then asked: "Where does this road in front of you lead?"
The old eunuch is very familiar with this place.
"Back to Your Highness, this road is very remote and rarely used by people. However, it actually leads directly to the north gate of the Royal Garden in the palace. It is still a shortcut."
The prince's expression moved slightly, "The north gate of the Royal Garden?"
The old eunuch nodded, "Yes, from here, whether you go to Yikun Palace, Xingrong Palace or Xinghua Palace, it will be closer."
The prince was startled suddenly.
Xinghua Palace...
That was the palace given to the third brother by his father.
At the palace banquet during the day, the third brother was in poor health and left the banquet early.
The third brother has always had a gentle temperament. If he saw Miss Sheng's family being too pitiful, he might feel sympathy.
Thinking of this, the prince had some thoughts in mind and turned around and walked back the way he came.
The third brother was born weak and he did not want to involve him in this fight.
If he went to look for his third brother tonight, his second brother would definitely be suspicious.
That's all, just get it figured out. Third brother, let's find a chance to ask again.
The prince then walked to the edge of Yuhua Lake. He looked at the moonlit lake and stood quietly for a long time before turning back to the East Palace.
———
Xinghua Palace.
The third prince was sitting in front of the case with his clothes on, holding a letter in his hand.
There is no signature on the envelope, and the third prince has not yet decided whether to read it or not.
At this time, Fu'an walked in with a bowl of medicine.
"Your Highness, it's time to take medicine."
The third prince nodded, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Fu'an saw that the third prince was still holding the letter and couldn't help but feel frightened.
"Your Highness, these...things left by others should be burned as soon as possible."
Fu'an boldly advised him.
The third prince watched for a while, as if he had made some kind of determination, and nodded to Fu'an.
"Fu'an, you go and guard outside the palace. If anyone comes, please inform me first."
Chapter 110 A rare victory!
Fu'an respectfully withdrew and closed the palace door.
The night was still a bit chilly, and the third prince couldn't help coughing lightly.
During the day, he took advantage of the chaos in Funing Palace and all the courtiers and family members hurriedly left the palace, and sent Sheng Xiuran out in disguise.
She is a boudoir girl who has been pampered since childhood. If she is left to fend for herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive.
So he simply stayed the course, gave her some money, and pointed her to a place to go.
His body was useless. When his mother-in-law still had extravagant hopes, she asked her father for grace and took him out of the palace to worship the Bodhisattva at Huguo Temple.
On the way to Huguo Temple, there is a relief home where many homeless children are adopted.
At that time, he felt pity and asked his mother and concubine to donate some money to them.
He still remembered the young woman in the workhouse, who had a round face and looked very friendly. He didn't know if she was still working for the children in the workhouse.
Miss Sheng has no fingers in the water and cannot do heavy work, but she has read poetry and books since she was a child, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He thought it would be a good idea to ask Miss Sheng to send some money to the almshouse, and then stay there to teach the children there how to read.
Of course, this was just his suggestion. After all, it was the outskirts of Beijing and there was still a risk of being discovered.
Whether Miss Sheng adopts it or not depends entirely on herself.
Before she left the palace, she solemnly thanked him, asked for pen and paper, and left this letter.
She said: "Your Highness, you are the only person willing to show kindness to Xiu Ran since the Sheng family has suffered drastic changes."
"Xiu Ran sincerely thanks you and is willing to pray to heaven and Bodhisattva day and night to protect you, a good person, in good health."
"This letter... it contains the shocking secret that Xiu Ran told you. You can read it if you want. If you don't want to, just burn it."
"Xiuran would like to thank His Highness the Third Highness. We will never see you again!"
She kowtowed three times, and with Fu'an's help, she successfully blended into the procession of courtiers and family members leaving the palace, and escaped from this cannibalistic prison.
With his thoughts at this point, the third prince slowly opened the envelope in his hand.
...
After a while, the sound of broken dishes suddenly came from the hall, frightening Fu'an who was guarding outside the hall.
His heart tightened and he shouted: "Your Highness?"
There was no reply from the hall.
Fu'an trembled all over, ignoring the third prince's instructions and hurriedly opened the palace door.
He looked over and saw the third prince lying on the ground, his whole body twitching uncontrollably and foaming at his mouth.
Not far in front of him, a ball of paper had burned to the end, and the fire gradually extinguished, leaving behind a piece of black ashes.
"Your Highness!"
Fu'an shouted in panic and rushed into the palace.
————
That night, the news that the beloved concubine Yu Zhaoyi died suddenly and that the second prince was fined and banned from the clan's residence for one year spread around the capital at the same time.
After hearing this, the ladies from each family sighed.
At today's banquet, they also saw Yu Zhaoyi's graceful dancing. Who knew that in just a few hours, she would completely disappear from this world.
As for the second prince's ban, the courtiers couldn't help but wonder, what mistake did the second prince make?
When the news reached the Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao was washing Qiao Jiaojiao's face and getting ready to sleep, while Qiao Zhongguo was concentrating on carving a small statue of Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi walked in from outside, their faces full of joy.
"father!"
"Ouch, I was so scared that I almost got burned!"
Qiao Zhongguo was engrossed in the carving, and was shocked by Qiao Diyi's angry shout!
Qiao Jiaojiao poked her little head out from behind the washcloth, her eyes sparkling.
[Is there any news from the palace? Ouch, I'm so curious like a kitten, please tell me! 】
Qiao Tianjing knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was impatient, so he didn't show any concern and said:
"Dad, the news has spread, Yu Zhaoyi died suddenly, and the second prince was banned from the clan's residence for one year."
【What? what? What? The male protagonist is banned from the clan's residence for a year? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao sat up straight with a look of shock and excitement on her face.
You must know that in the original work, the male protagonist is the chosen one!
No matter what he wants to do, even if there are slight setbacks in a short period of time, he can always turn danger into safety and be invincible!
The Zongren Mansion was banned for one year. Although it could not play a decisive role, it was a rare victory!
[At last Emperor Yong's conscience was not eaten away by dogs! Since he could nod his head when he was banned from this sect, it meant that he was also dissatisfied with the second prince! 】
[It seems that the male protagonist is seeking death. He dares to touch his own father's concubine. Which man can bear this? 】
The entire Qiao family: "..."
Here we go again, rough words but not rough words!
"The second prince entered the clan mansion tonight, and he brought an old slave with him. The eldest princess and the second prince have a deep love for each other, so she personally walked him to the palace gate before returning."
Qiao Tianjing continued to talk about the information he had obtained.
Qiao Jiaojiao's mind moved slightly.
【Old slave? I know, is it that... that Uncle Li! No, it seems that the surname is Liu, which is also wrong. What is the surname? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was confused for a moment, and then relaxed her eyebrows.
[No matter what his last name is, this is still an important role! 】
[That old slave is an old man brought by Princess Yuliu from the Northern Kingdom. He is the middleman who can bring the Second Prince and the Northern Kingdom people together! 】
[Tsk, I remember this is an old loyal servant, the kind who is devoted to the second prince! 】
[During the Lantern Festival, people from the North assassinated the prince, and all of them died. The male protagonist probably had not colluded with the people from the North at that time, and I don't know how far they have cooperated now. 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his eyebrows suddenly froze.
Sure enough, even after the second prince arrived at the clan mansion, they still couldn't relax!
Nowadays, the northern court is fighting endlessly over the crown prince, and they are afraid that King Jinyu will take advantage of the second prince!
After all, he had no heirs, and as his nephew, the second prince could be regarded as the only bloodline close to him.
Since ancient times, wealth has not flowed to outsiders. King Jinyu must not be willing to let the throne fall into the hands of others.
Qiao Tianjing knew very well that the existence of Beiguo was a worry for his father.
Now that half of the Qiao family's secret guards were at his disposal, he had to discuss it with his father to keep an eye on the second prince!
Qiao Jiaojiao felt relieved after getting the result.
In this way, it can be said that the major obstacle of the original work, Sha Baitian's early death, has been completely overcome!
She yawned long and couldn't help but think:
[To be able to force the second prince to go to the clan mansion, the queen and the prince must have contributed a lot. It's a pity that I didn't see such a wonderful duel! 】
[The prince is a smart man. If he peels off the cocoon, he will definitely wonder how his second brother happened to save Silly Baitian. 】
【Huh--】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao also realized that something was wrong.
[Today, Sha Baitian went to the side hall to get gifts. The second brother didn't know that Sha Baitian was in danger, so why did he just jump over the wall and run to the back door to block people? 】
When Qiao Diyi heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
Oh my god, how can he explain this?
