The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 669: The Coveted Minister's Wife 18

The punishment the Fifth Prince received today was much more severe than usual.

The whip used to beat the Fifth Prince today was very different from the whip used a few days ago. Before hitting the Fifth Prince's back, the whip was soaked in chili water, and the entire whip was slightly raised. When it hit the back, it was like a small hook that hooked into the flesh, causing the person being punished to suffer more pain and torment than before.

Concubine Chen's anger today was not without reason.

"I thought you really knew you were wrong and would not do it again, but I didn't expect you to just be perfunctory. It's fine if you act silly on weekdays. I can turn a blind eye, but why did you mess with a married woman? What's more, Pei Shao's great-grandfather and grandfather were loyal ministers of the court. Although his father's generation gradually declined, your father still remembered the kindness of his Pei family. Now that you are like this, how can I protect you?"

Every time the Fifth Prince was whipped, his whole body curled up in pain. Now, after dozens of whips, his whole body was almost soaked in sweat, and the sweat soaked into the blood-stained wounds, making it even more painful.

The Fifth Prince's lips were tightly closed, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.

However, after hearing what his mother said, he did not compromise. Instead, he sneered, "She is just a lowly merchant's daughter. It is her honor to be favored by me. Moreover, the Pei family is now like a rat crossing the street, with nothing left. Mother told me this, is it because she was moved by the scene and thought of herself? Moreover, from the past to now, when has mother ever protected me? In mother's heart, there is only the son of that dead man. How can there be a place for me? I am afraid that even my father has no place in mother's heart."

After hearing what he said, Concubine Chen became even more furious.

She had been in the palace for so many years, and no matter how well she was protected by the emperor, and no matter how well the emperor covered up the worldly affairs, she eventually found clues. Until all the truth came to light.

Her former happiness was destroyed by the current emperor, and she hated him to the core and felt so miserable that she wanted to die! Now, her son was doing the same thing, breaking up other people's families, how could she not be angry!

As Concubine Chen thought this, her subordinates became even more ruthless.

The whipping sounds inside lasted for about half an hour, and Qiao Shuang felt like he was living in a year.

Until the noise inside finally stopped, and then the concubine's tired voice came, "Bring in some hot water."

How could Emperor Huiling know nothing about what was happening in Guanju Palace?

However, apart from sighing and asking his personal eunuch Liu Rong to send more precious medicinal herbs and select some beauties from the people to send to the Fifth Prince, he did nothing else.

Instead, after hearing that the fifth prince had left Guanju Palace, he hurried to Guanju Palace to comfort his beloved concubine.

That night, after hearing that the Emperor had rested in Guanju Palace again and called for water three times, Empress Xu Yefei did not seem to care. However, the disappointment in her eyes and eyebrows revealed her emotions.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, he is still so loyal. Never mind. As long as my Xuan'er can reach that supreme position, I will have no regrets."

Since ancient times, you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

"Go and find out why the Fifth Prince was punished. Life in the harem is becoming increasingly dull. If there is no fun, how can I get through the long dark nights?"

Xu Yefei was able to become the queen of the Wei Kingdom because of the Xu family’s great achievements.

I originally thought that once I entered the harem, I would become the emperor's dignified and generous wife.

However, Emperor Huiying was a man of great talent and heroic spirit, which made Xu Yefei develop strange feelings towards him and had some inappropriate expectations of him.

However, these periods gradually disappeared after Concubine Chen entered the palace.

Empress Xu was a relatively rational person. After all, feelings were illusory and could hurt people and bodies, but real power would not. She still had a lot of things to do, such as the future position of crown prince and even the future ruler of the world.

Therefore, even though the concubines came to Liuxiang Palace to meet the queen the next day and Concubine Chen was absent again, Xu Yefei didn't care. He was as elegant and graceful as usual, smiling as he drank tea and chatted with the concubines.

However, before the Queen could investigate the Fifth Prince's private affairs, her niece, Xu Yunxi, came running into the palace crying to find her.

Empress Xu loved her niece very much, not only because she was her brother's daughter, but also because she was very caring to her.

Whenever Empress Xu had a headache or fever, Xu Yunxi would immediately come to the palace to serve her. Even the Fourth Prince could not compare to her in this regard.

Emperor Xu only had one son, the Fourth Prince, and he always felt a little regretful that he didn't have a sweet and caring little boy. Xu Yunxi was pretty and charming, and although she was a little overbearing, she was loyal to the Fourth Prince and never changed her mind.

When Xu Yunxi came to Liuxiang Palace, her pretty little face was red from crying.

"Aunt, you have to make the decision for me. I, I... my fourth cousin, he... "

Empress Xu was very distressed.

It was not until the nanny beside Xu Yunxi explained that the young lady had received a message from someone unknown, saying that the Fourth Prince had an affair with a married woman and even wanted to make her the Crown Princess.

Xu Yunxi was so angry about the news that her stomach ached. But she was still rational. Worried that it was someone else's conspiracy, she sent someone to investigate. As a result, they found out that there was such a woman, and the Fourth Prince also took good care of her.

Xu Yunxi finally captured the guard next to the fourth prince. The guard refused to admit it, but Xu Yunxi became more suspicious.

Xu Yunxi didn't want to destroy the relationship between herself and the Fourth Prince directly. Since it was inconvenient for her to do it herself, she wanted her aunt to help her.

When Empress Xu heard this, she was already covered by anger. "Xi'er, I will definitely make the decision for you. You are the Crown Princess I have chosen. If other women have improper ambitions for this position, they will not wait for you to make a move. First, I will clear the way for you."

Empress Xu naturally had to comfort her niece first.

However, before actually taking action, she would definitely have to find out the whole story and ask her son about it.
