Come on, Your Highness

The eldest prince is really terrible. Not long after he settled down, he started to make trouble again!

Everyone felt that since the crown prince was abolished, the eldest prince had really given up on himself completely, doing all sorts of unconventional and rebellious things, last time he beat up his younger brother, this time even the teacher contradicted him, and even threatened not to fall behind In his hand, that arrogant look almost provoked the censor's knife and pen.

Fortunately, the emperor was wise, and after a meal, he was honest.

And many people feel at ease.

After class, just as He Xichao said, the prince and his sons came to express condolences in a team.

"Brother, you said that you are just a reading companion, and you can hit it if you hit it. Twenty palms won't lose a piece of meat. Why change twenty sticks of board? Look, tsk tsk, you can't even get out of bed. The smell of this medicine is enough Human."

Xiao Yi looked at the wound medicine applied to Xiao Hong's buttocks, shook his head and sighed, but the gloating inside made Xiao Hong want to beat him up.

"If you can't speak human words, then get out of here."

"Why are you so irritable, okay, let's not talk about it, my brother brought you some tonics to make you stronger." Seeing Xiao Hong being beaten, Xiao Yi didn't mind his bad words, and looked at his ass with a smile Several glances.

"Thanks to the big brother, we can relax in class again. Xu Zhi didn't recite any more hard work. I guess he was afraid of you." Prince Guang's son said, "My brother doesn't have anything good to give, he just got one a few days ago A pair of Linglong chessboards, it looks pretty good, I will relieve your boredom."

Several other people also expressed their condolences, sympathizing with Xiao Hong in their words, but unfortunately they didn't reach the bottom of the eye, it was all about face.

Xiao Hong looked at them, feeling impatient, "I've seen it, and I know I'm seriously injured. If you are happy, go away quickly, leave things behind, and cherish the future!"

"Your Highness." He Xichao was walking into Xiao Hong's bedroom with the medicine in his hand, and the smell was so "fragrant" that the princes and sons who came to visit covered their noses one after another.

Xiao Hong said: "Look at the things they sent over, pick some valuable and useful ones, and throw out the rest."

"Hey, cousin, what do you mean?" Prince Ping asked.

Xiao Hong turned his face to the side and bared his teeth, "Enough of watching the show, enough friendship, and giving some things to send away, when I collect the tattered ones here? Get out."

Xiao Hong acted as if I was hurt and irritable, and they left without even drinking a sip of tea angrily.

"It finally stopped." Xiao Hong threw off the quilt and jumped off the bed.

He Xichao gave him the medicine, "Do you still drink?"

Xiao Hong took it, immediately turned his face away, and said in disgust: "What is this, it smells so strong?"

"Tonic, it seems to be overcooked."

"Can you drink that?" Xiao Hong was very skeptical.

He Xichao said: "I don't know either, so stop drinking."

"Yeah." Xiao Hong looked at the dark soup in the bowl, his face was reflected, and he said with gloomy eyes, "Xi Chao, Xiao Ke said that Xu Zhi was still in the study, and the father beat me, but Let him go. I thought that even if he wasn't as strict as me, nothing happened, right?"

He Xichao comforted: "How can it be so fast, the emperor has to investigate, and if he wants to do it, he has to have solid evidence."

Xiao Hong looked over, "What evidence? He was targeting me on purpose, how can I find evidence?"

"Then why did he target you? He has been in the study for three years, and you two have lived in peace. For no reason, he started to set you up?"

Xiao Hong recalled: "The last time I slept, after being caught by my father, I got him punished, and then I held a grudge?"

"Come on, do you think he's a child? Besides, you're a prince, and you can't do anything just for that little thing."

Xiao Hong thought it made sense, so he asked, "Then why?"

He Xichao said: "I guess it has something to do with a certain empress in the harem, after all, who else can look at you so badly?"

Xiao Hong was surprised, "With such a great skill, she can even command the court order?"

"So it's just a guess. It shouldn't be that stupid, and my grandfather wouldn't agree."

Xiao Hong nodded, "Then I'll just wait, there will always be news from Father. Since he didn't really want to hit me, then he just believes me, Xu Zhi..." He brought the bowl to his mouth , subconsciously took a sip of tea.

Seeing his movements, He Xichao quickly jumped away, and at that moment, the medicinal juice was sprayed out by Xiao Hong.

"Bah, bah, my god, what does it smell like, it disgusts me to death!"

"Didn't I tell you not to drink?" He Xi looked at him like a fool.

Xiao Hong was full of indescribable weird taste, which was a hundred times worse than medicine. He almost vomited, and his whole face was distorted.

He Xichao grabbed the snack on the side and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Xiao Hong stared, opened his mouth, and chewed vigorously.The dim sum was dry, he pointed to the teapot, choked so much that his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

He Xichao quickly poured tea for him, Xiao Hongcai swallowed it, took a big breath, and seemed to be alive again.

"Who made this medicine?" Xiao Hong said angrily, he was so careless, he must fork it out to beat the board.

He Xichao said innocently, "I..."

Xiao Hong: "..." He wiped his face, and then asked from the bottom of his heart, "What kind of medicine do you cook, where is the maid?"

He Xichao paused for a moment, then silently lowered his head 45 degrees, and whispered with grievances: "I'm sorry, I just want to cook medicine for my cousin myself."

Xiao Hong looked at the top of He Xichao's head, and the resentment in his heart melted like spring snow. He was very moved, and he stammered, "That's really intentional, but... this medicine..."

He Xichao said: "It's the first time I've made it. Anyway, it's just a tonic. It won't kill you..."

That's right, it can't kill a person, but it can disgust him to death. Thinking back to the taste just now, Xiao Hong felt his throat rolling. He held He Xichao's hand sincerely and said, "Hey, I don't need you to do these rough jobs. I'm really sorry." , let’s peel apples from now on.”

In the era of supremacy of imperial power, if the emperor wanted to find out one thing, it was really easy.

Two days later, the undercover investigators returned.

Emperor Tiangan was surprised by the results presented, but he was not surprised. He waved his hand to make people retreat, and then said to Eunuch Huang: "It's really not easy for Hong'er to come to this day."

Eunuch Huang said: "Your Majesty calm down, since you already know what's going on, let him do it, and give the eldest prince justice."

Emperor Tiangan nodded, and said in a low voice, "I propose an order to go to Xuzhi Hanlin Academy to take the post of director, and order Dali Temple to arrest him immediately, seal up Xu's family, and... collude with the palace to frame the prince."

Eunuch Huang's heart was moved. Neither of these two charges was light, and he was colluding with the palace... It seems that the emperor does not plan to expose it.

"Yes." Eunuch Huang didn't dare to say anything, and immediately went down to write a letter to draw up an order.

Eunuch Huang was right, Emperor Tiangan was so angry that he couldn't show it.

His eldest son, the legitimate son of his wife, how dare these people!

Emperor Tiangan's eyes were cold, "Duke Xuanwei."

Xu Zhi was still teaching in the study during the day, and at night he lit the oil lamp to appreciate the picture of the thousand mountains and snow plains that the nobleman rewarded him.

The news that Xiao Hong was [-] sticks came, and he let out a bad breath in his heart.

The weather in early spring was still unbearably cold. There were charcoal basins lit all around the house, and the heating was full. He squinted his eyes and looked comfortable.

Suddenly, an urgent voice came from the door, "Master, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are here!"

As soon as the words were finished, the door was kicked open, and a gust of cold wind wrapped in rain blew into the study. Xu Zhi shivered all over, looking at the ferocious officers and soldiers carrying torches outside, his face turned pale.

"According to the order, arrest the criminal Xu Zhi and take him away immediately!"

At that moment, Xu Zhi knew that he was finished.

As he was escorted away, the priceless painting on the table that he had admired for a long time was also rolled up and sent to the palace.

At the same time, Emperor Tiangan was reviewing the memorial as usual, with his usual expression, while Wei Guogong had been kneeling below for half an hour.

He is not young, and his body is a bit too much, but what is more tormenting is the attitude of Emperor Tiangan who turns a blind eye to him and just makes him kneel.

Since Wei Guogong's mansion had a queen, a concubine, and a prince and grandson, as the head of the country, it seemed that he hadn't knelt down in such embarrassment for so long.

Wei Guogong was shocked, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Since Xiao Hongzhang's twenties, he knew the whole story from He Xichao's letter. At the first thought, he felt that the matter was not that simple, and he was faintly worried, afraid that Fanghua Palace would do something again.

Concubine Shu naturally refused to admit it, and didn't know the reply, but at this moment, he didn't dare to think about it.

At this time, someone came in and reported: "My Majesty, the search of the Xu family has been completed, and the whole family has been imprisoned, waiting to be released. In addition, the emperor found this thing during the search, please take a look."

Emperor Tiangan raised his eyes, and Eunuch Huang took it and held it in front of him. It was a picture scroll.

Emperor Tiangan unfolded half of it, smiled lightly, then closed it and handed it back to Eunuch Huang, saying: "Show Duke Wei, I don't know if you recognize it or not."

"Master Guo, please recognize it." Eunuch Huang came to Wei Guogong and opened the scroll.

Wei Guogong raised his head, saw the painting, felt a chill in his heart, and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The picture of Qianshan Xueyuan is the dowry gift of Concubine Shu.

"It seems that I didn't wrong her." Emperor Tiangan said lightly, and then asked, "Does Duke Wei know about this?"

Wei Guogong hurriedly said: "I don't know! Your Majesty, I don't know! If I know, I will definitely not let this happen. Please look into it!"

Emperor Tiangan nodded, "This, I believe. They are all grandchildren, whether it is Hong'er or Ming'er, in the future... they will be the same as you, Duke Wei. However, you are not the only one in Duke Wei's mansion, there are always other people who have ideas. At this point, Emperor Tiangan's face turned cold, and he slapped his palm heavily on the table, making the teacup ring. He said angrily, "I trust her to entrust Hong'er to her. I trust Wei Guogong." That’s why Hong’er is allowed to go around frequently. Is this how you treat my trust, Hong’er’s trust, and treat us father and son as fools?”

"If the minister is not strict in discipline, he deserves death."

"It's a crime that deserves death." Emperor Tiangan put back his anger and said coldly, "Wei Guogong's discipline is not strict, and his virtues are deficient. He will be suspended from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War and will be fined for three years. From now on, the female family members of Wei Guogong's mansion are prohibited from entering and leaving. Gongwei, go down."

Wei Guogong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Thank you Lord Long En."

He got up slowly, knelt for a long time, his body was crooked, and he almost couldn't stand still.

"Come here, help the Duke." Huang Gonggong ordered, and a servant came in a hurry to support him.

Wei Guogong waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, Eunuch, I can go by myself."

Life is full of vicissitudes and things are impermanent.

When I was still complacent before and felt that my skills were unknown, the next moment I could be slapped hard.

Concubine Shu fell to the ground with her face covered, and the red hairpin on her head flew out. Suddenly, the rain hit the peach blossoms, and her hair was messed up.

Emperor Tiangan's face was as cold as frost, and his sharp eyes seemed to pierce her. Concubine Shu had never seen him so furious.It can be said that Emperor Tiangan has never done anything himself since he ascended the throne and gained power.

At this time, Concubine Shu's body was shaking with her heart, she had never been so scared like now, she even felt that Emperor Tiangan wanted to strangle her alive in a fit of anger.

"Using such despicable means to deal with a ten-year-old child, He Lingying, is your heart occupied by poisonous snakes?" He threw the picture of Qianshan Xueyuan in front of Concubine Shu, and the scroll rolled away, revealing half of the painting. .

Concubine Shu's eyes widened in an instant, her heart was icy cold, everything was indisputable, she knew it was over.

"I once said, let you take care of yourself, and it seems that you have ignored it." Emperor Tiangan looked at her condescendingly, "If this is the case, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine made a mistake, and the concubine will never hesitate to die. I beg you to give the concubine one more chance, just one chance." Concubine Shu knelt down and cried.

Emperor Tiangan was unmoved, "I heard this once three months ago, and I gave it a chance, but you didn't take it seriously."

Concubine Shu shed two lines of tears and kept shaking her head.

"Remove the position of concubine, demote to concubine, accept the power of the head of the harem, order Concubine Lan to take full charge of management, and temporarily live in Fanghua Palace..."

When Concubine Shu heard this, her body softened immediately. She crawled forward and grabbed the corner of Emperor Tiangan's clothes, "No, Your Majesty, please, for the sake of the third prince and Ming'er, please forgive me." His birth mother!"

Emperor Tiangan laughed angrily, bent down, and said dangerously: "You still dare to mention Ming'er? Have you ever thought about doing this, how will I treat Ming'er? How will he face me and his elder brother?" ?”

Concubine Shu's hair was disheveled and her eyes were full of panic, "No, Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's idea. He is so young, and he doesn't know anything. He has always admired the Emperor the most, worked hard to study, and often studied late at night, all for the sake of letting him The emperor is satisfied, he really doesn't know anything, it's all the fault of the concubine. You must not blame him!"

"You were just demoted and not sent to the cold palace. This is already for Ming'er's sake, but I am worried when you say that."

Concubine Shu was taken aback, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

I only heard Emperor Tiangan say: "Ming'er is still young, with a pure heart, but if he stays with a vicious mother like you all the time, and is influenced by what he sees and hears, he doesn't know how he will be spoiled! The relationship between him and Hong'er has been broken. It's bad, it shouldn't be like this between brothers, so... from tomorrow, people will sort out Jingfu Palace and give it to the third son of the emperor to live in."

Concubine Shu was completely dumbfounded, she stared blankly at Emperor Tiangan, suddenly, she knelt up straight, then kowtowed her head heavily, making a bang bang sound.

"Please take back your majesty's orders. Ming'er is too young, he can't do without his mother, Your Majesty! I swear, if I dare to show any disrespect to the eldest prince, my concubine will be struck by lightning, and I will die! Please don't take Ming'er with me!" Let's go, I beg the emperor to take back his life—"

After a while, Concubine Shu's forehead turned blue.

At this moment, a small figure suddenly ran in, and Xiao Ming knelt beside Concubine Shu while crying, begging: "Father, please don't separate your son from Concubine Mother, please don't take me away, please spare Concubine Mother Bar!"

"Why is the third prince here?" Emperor Tiangan's sharp eyes stabbed at the door, his brows were deep, and he said angrily, "Okay, I am getting more and more courageous. Come here, let Fanghua Palace go up and down. All the slaves are pulled out and killed with sticks!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the palace people knelt down one after another, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Concubine Shu screamed, "No, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Xiao Ming was completely stunned, and with the courage he didn't know where he came from, he hugged Emperor Tiangan's leg, "Father, please spare Aunt Xue Ling, it's my son, it's my son, I must come to my concubine mother, don't kill anyone!" ,don't want!"

"If the emperor wants to punish, then punish the concubine. The concubine admits it. Xue Ling and the others have served me for many years. If you kill them, it's like cutting off the concubine's siblings. How can you bear it!"

Emperor Tiangan snorted coldly, "You also know that you shouldn't vent your anger, but what did you ask Xu Zhi to do? Knowing that Hong'er was protecting He Xichao, you deliberately let him contradict and make me angry!"

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and knelt down on the ground, as if she had lost all her strength, she said: "The concubine made a mistake, the concubine dared not, the emperor is merciful..."

"Father, don't..."

Emperor Tiangan looked at the tear-stained, terrified Xiao Ming, his entire face was full of contradictions, and finally he sighed, feeling unbearable, "Let's save these few lives for the time being."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, father, for your kindness!"

"Ming'er is already seven years old, so she should live alone. Jingfu Palace will be tidied up as usual, and we will move in within three days." After speaking, Emperor Tiangan walked away without waiting for their pleas.

The author has something to say: He Xichao: I just guessed this time and didn't mess with her, but I didn't expect her stupidity to exceed my imagination.

Xiao Hong: I can eat two more bowls of rice.
