After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xiao Chengji had never seen the twin children of Xiao Jingshuo's family. He had only heard from Yan Yu that the two children were very cute.

Xiao Jingshuo grew up in a honey pot, and he also knew that among all the princes, he and the seventh prince lived a relatively good life.

Unlike Xiao Chengji, who was targeted and persecuted by the Empress Dowager and the Zheng family since childhood, neither of them was like Xiao Jiashan, who was treated like a puppet by the Empress Dowager and the Zheng family and was compared with Xiao Chengji everywhere.

Compared with other younger princes, he and the seventh prince's mother were both concubines, with high status in the harem, able to suppress the concubines with less experience.

As long as he does not think about seizing the throne to become emperor and is less ambitious, he will be conferred the title of prince in the future, whether he is a county prince or a prince, and he will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life.

Perhaps Xiao Jingshuo's biggest worry since he was a child was that his father only had Xiao Chengji in his heart and didn't care much about him.

He had been deeply jealous of his brother Xiao Chengji, but when he was confused, he just wanted to complain to Xiao Chengji.

"How could Fifth Brother's princess be so vicious? When the adults had a conflict, she insisted on taking revenge on the child who couldn't speak." Xiao Jingshuo said, "I really suspect that Fifth Brother was bewitched by her and married the troublemaker home, leaving you with a peerless beauty."

Xiao Chengji glanced at him coldly.

Xiao Jingshuo quickly punished himself with a glass of wine: "I was wrong, Third Sister-in-law is dignified and virtuous, and her character is more valuable than her appearance. These are the most important."

It is not a good thing to praise his wife's beauty in front of his brothers... Xiao Jingshuo did not dare to comment on the appearance of Xiao Chengji's princess in person, so he could only praise her good character.

As for whether her moral character is really that good - Xiao Jingshuo and Yan Yu had not met each other many times. When he met her, he felt that his third sister-in-law had a captivating appearance and dignified and elegant manners. He didn't know whether she was really virtuous in private, so he just said whatever words were good.

Xiao Chengji said: "I have never met this nephew. I happen to be free tomorrow, so I will stop by Concubine Xia's palace to pay my respects."

"Such a young child is not worth the trip. When he was one month old, my sister-in-law gave them a very valuable gift." Xiao Jingshuo knew that Xiao Chengji didn't like children very much, so he didn't want to trouble him to go and see them again. "The child will run away in the future. Let him go to the Qin Palace to find you every day."

Xiao Chengji said: "If the emperor is free tomorrow, maybe he will come too."

Xiao Jingshuo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your concern, Third Brother."

Concubine Xia was old, and the emperor preferred younger concubines more. He only let Concubine Xia manage some things in the harem and had not visited her palace for a long time.

Moreover, maybe the emperor could find out what Wei did to the young prince.

Compared with when they filed a complaint and when they found out about the emperor, it was obvious that the latter had a greater chance of winning.

The next day, Xiao Chengji accompanied the emperor for breakfast. The two talked about some military affairs and then went out for a walk.

It happened that Concubine Jin came over. She brought some soup, which she said was made by herself. She was wearing a gorgeous purple dress, and looked gorgeous and beautiful.

The capital city is more hospitable than the cold north. Concubine Jin has been increasingly favored these days and her appearance has become even more charming.

The emperor didn't want to see her during the day, so he waved his hand and asked her to leave.

Contrary to her usual obedience, Concubine Jin actually left quietly.

Anyway, the imperial city is like this. No matter how unruly a person is, he will be beaten to death. No one can be arrogant and domineering. Under the emperor's majesty, Concubine Jin's transformation is normal.

As they walked, they unknowingly arrived near Concubine Xia's palace.

The emperor had not seen Concubine Xia for a long time. Concubine Xia was pretty, but not the most outstanding; she was gentle, but not weak and honest; she had management skills, but not too shrewd.

Over the years, she has had a place in the emperor's heart and deserves the title "virtuous" given to her.

"The green plum and lily cakes in Concubine Xian's palace are delicious," the emperor said casually, "why don't you go in and have a seat? And you can pay your respects to Concubine Xian."

Xiao Chengji followed the emperor in.

At this time, Concubine Xia was still coaxing the young prince to sleep.

The child was too young and suffered such torture. He felt so much pain that he could only cry.

The little prince kept crying last night and only fell asleep in the second half of the night.

Today, Concubine Xia personally applied medicine to the injured area of ​​the young master. As soon as the injured area was touched, the young master started crying again.

The emperor frowned when he heard the loud crying: "What's going on?"

Concubine Xia handed the young prince to her chief palace maid and hurriedly greeted the emperor: "Your Majesty."

The young master cried even harder.

The emperor came here to calm down and didn't want to listen to the child crying. He frowned and his face darkened: "Where are the Sixth Prince and his wife? The child was very well behaved last time, why is he like this this time?"

"The child is weak and not feeling well." Concubine Xia forced a smile. "I felt that the Sixth Master's wife was too young to raise a child. I happened to be lonely, so I kept her by my side."

Xiao Chengji said to the palace maid: "Let me hold my nephew for a while."

The palace maid didn't dare to give it to him and looked at Concubine Xia cautiously.

Concubine Xia hurriedly took it from the palace maid and handed it to Xiao Chengji gently.

She had never seen many grown men holding a child, and was worried that Xiao Chengji would drop her eldest grandson, so she watched anxiously from the side.

Xiao Chengji asked: "What's wrong with him? Where does he feel uncomfortable?"

"This..." Concubine Xia said, "The sixth son's wife was careless and took the child to the Liang Mansion to play. After they came back, Han'er kept crying. We asked the imperial physician to come and see her and remove three embroidery needles from Han'er's chest and abdomen."

The emperor's face suddenly turned livid.

He had always been unable to accept the fact that a child was harmed within the palace.

His eldest son, the eldest prince, Xiao Chengji's brother from the same mother, was killed not long after he was born.

"Have you investigated? Was it done by Prince Six's concubine, or someone else?" The emperor said coldly, "All wet nurses and maids who failed to supervise the babysitters will be executed."

Concubine Xia shook her head: "If they were not the Sixth Prince's concubines, they would not have the courage to do so. The nurses who were looking after Han'er said that at noon that day, Princess Rui brought a group of people and insisted on holding Han'er. They did not dare to stop them. As soon as Princess Rui left, Han'er started crying non-stop."

The emperor narrowed his sinister eyes: "Do you have any evidence?"

"I only know that during Han'er's full moon banquet, the Princess of Rui County spoke too much to the Sixth Prince's wife, and was slapped in public by the Prince of Rui County. I wonder if she holds a grudge against me. For other things without evidence, I dare not smear anyone, let alone tell others and make fun of the royal family." Concubine Xia wiped her red eyes, "This child is weak, and I think it would be better for him to grow up here."

The prince's wife plotted to murder the offspring of other princes. When word got out, outsiders didn't know how to describe the strife among the emperor's offspring.

Xiao Chengji glanced at the child in his arms and said, "Father, if this matter is not dealt with severely, I am afraid that in the future, all the mansions and courts will not have peace, and all the descendants will suffer."
