Chapter 8 Kill the Emperor and Become the Queen Mother (8)

"Speaking of the second prince, he is also a pitiful man. His biological mother was the emperor's concubine when he was still in the Eastern Palace. Unfortunately, she displeased the emperor and died of illness when he was three years old. The emperor did not go to see her for the last time. Because of his biological mother, the emperor did not like him very much, but the second prince never complained or blamed others. He was very friendly to the palace people and brothers and sisters. Just like now, he would protect the fifth prince who was weaker than him, but he himself... Alas..."

Banxia sighed as she spoke. Growing up in such an environment in the deep palace without the protection of his biological mother, the second prince was very kind and did not grow up to be a bad person. Why would the emperor hate such a son?

Nan Yue looked at the scene not far away, her eyes still calm.

"Why don't you go to the training ground to compete? Don't you think it's too shameless for the two of you to face the fifth royal brother alone?" Xiao Yanzhi asked.

Xiao Liangjun pouted and said viciously: "Don't act like an emperor brother just because I call you Second Brother? Who do you think you are? You are just like that little bastard, born by a mother but not taught by her!"

What he said was so harsh that even Banxia couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Jinnian was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat him to death, "Xiao Liangjun, you are uneducated by your mother, apologize to your second brother!"

Xiao Yanzhi stopped him, his eyes turned cold, "Fourth brother, you are going too far."

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Liangjun crossed his arms over his chest, looking particularly arrogant. "Second brother, you'd better get out of the way. Don't be so kind. If you still protect fifth brother, don't blame me for beating you up too!"

He was not afraid of this second brother. Apart from being older than him, he was no match for him in any other aspect. His academic studies and martial arts were mediocre, not to mention that his father did not like him!

"Second brother, please go away and don't worry about me. I can handle the problem myself!" Xiao Jinnian said anxiously, sticking his head out from behind him.

The second prince cannot protect him and will be implicated by him instead.

Xiao Liangjun took the opportunity to throw a punch, but just before it landed on Xiao Jinnian's face, a hand grabbed it...

Xiao Yanzhi was skinny, but the hand that held him was extremely strong, making it impossible for him to break free. He was so angry that he used his other hand to slap desperately...

The second brother, who was always gentle and kind, looked at him, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his voice contained a barely perceptible chill as he warned: "Fourth brother, are you sure you want to continue? If the emperor finds out that you bully your brothers, you will be punished."

Xiao Liangjun felt a little guilty, but he still yelled at the top of his voice: "Don't use my father to pressure me! If you have the guts, go and complain to my father. Do you think my father will believe you or me?"

Xiao Liangjun has no other skills, but he learned how to act like a spoiled child and admit his mistakes from his mother. Plus, he is quite clever, so if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't punish him.

"Third brother, how did Fifth Brother get injured?"

Hearing Xiao Liangjun's question, Xiao Liangyi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Of course he fell accidentally, it's none of our business."

Xiao Liangjun looked very proud, "Second brother, if you have the guts, go tell Father?"

Everyone knows that the son that the emperor hates the most is Xiao Yanzhi.

Two unpopular ones still want to compete with him!

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his eyes, sighed, and looked past the two of them, suddenly looking accurately at the girl not far away, "Empress, you saw it all clearly."

what?

Queen?

The two arrogant princes froze, and Xiao Liangjun's arrogance weakened instantly.

Having watched enough of the show, Nan Yue slowly walked towards them...

Xiao Yanzhi let go of Xiao Liangjun's hand and knelt down to pay his respects.

The other three people saw that it was indeed the queen, and they all knelt down and saluted, "Greetings...Mother."

Calling her "mother" was a bit awkward, after all, the girl in front of him looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

But she is the queen after all, so she still has to observe the proper etiquette.

The girl stood in front of them, her slightly cold eyes swept over their heads one by one, paused at Xiao Yanzhi, and then moved away...

They were not asked to stand up immediately, and they did not dare to say anything more.

Xiao Liangjun was not originally so honest, but he was feeling guilty now, fearing that the Queen would bring up what happened before and then tell her father...

Nan Yue finally set her sights on the disheveled five-year-old wolf cub. His clothes were covered in dust, his hair was messy, and he looked gray all over. He didn't look like a prince at all...

She said in a deep voice: "Get up and follow me."

Xiao Jinnian raised his head, still unable to hide his emotions well, and asked: "What does mother want to do?"

Wow, quite alert.

Nan Yue was too lazy to answer, so Ban Xia continued, "Of course I'll take you, the Fifth Prince, to apply medicine. Will the Queen harm you?"

Xiao Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye he saw his second brother kneeling upright beside him...

The second prince patted his hand encouragingly, with a familiar gentle smile in his eyes.

But because of this action, he happened to see the red marks on the back of the second brother's hand, which were caused by the beating caused by the fourth brother in order to protect him.

The fourth prince's attack was very ruthless and it was particularly irritating.

So he asked: "Can I let my second brother go with me?"

Nan Yue nodded indifferently, turned and left.

Banxia quickly followed with the two princes...

Xiao Liangjun and Xiao Liangyi looked at each other in bewilderment. The Queen didn't teach them a lesson?

……

Fengyi Palace.

Side hall.

The imperial physician was examining Xiao Jinnian's body. He was the most seriously injured, with bruises all over his body, as well as many old injuries.

Xiao Yanzhi refused the offer of medicine and took a box of ointment with one hand.

After the imperial physician finished his examination and left, Xiao Jinnian put on his clothes and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the queen to be so kind. The imperial physician prescribed a lot of medicine for me..."

Except for his mother, he had no good feelings towards other women in the harem. He didn't expect that his father's newly married young queen was so kind-hearted that she even hired a royal physician for him, the unpopular prince.

Xiao Yan paused with his hand holding the medicine, hummed softly, and said in a gentle voice: "...It's very good."

"If only all the women in father's harem were as good as the queen. If only father also..." Xiao Jinnian laughed at himself before he finished speaking.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't seem to want to talk about this. He asked, "Why did the third and fourth brothers bother you today?"

"During the morning class today, I answered the young master's questions according to what you, second brother, taught me every day. The young master praised me for my intelligence. They couldn't stand me being in the limelight, so they made trouble for me everywhere." Xiao Jinnian curled his lips and hated these brothers very much.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled slightly, "Fifth brother, if you do this, sooner or later you will be appreciated by our father."

Xiao Jinnian hid his expectations and said with shining eyes: "That's because you taught me well, Second Brother!"

As he spoke, he was a little confused, "Second brother is so smart and knows so much, he is many times better than that Xiao Liangjun! Why doesn't he show it to father?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled lightly and lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in his eyes clearly, "As long as Fifth Brother gets attention, I never care about these things."

Xiao Jinnian clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, "Not only do I want to gain my father's approval, I also want to trample my fourth brother and the others under my feet."

In front of his most trusted second brother, he did not hide his ambition at all.

In this cannibalistic palace, you can’t survive without ambition!

What's more, his biological mother is not strong, so he has to work hard on his own!
