After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

Cheng Youzhi took Xiao Yuanjing's expression into his eyes, and then said: "The princess was terrified. Her Majesty has already passed by now. It was the maid beside the princess, Rue Xiang, who said that it was the Fourth Highness who did it. Therefore, Your Majesty sent the servants to invite you Fourth Highness, go to Empress Zhaoyi to explain a few words."

Cheng Youzhi had some respect for Xiao Yuanjing, so even if he was ordered by the emperor to pass on a message, he could not be strict with Xiao Yuanjing, and even tried to remind Xiao Yuanjing.

Xiao Yuanjing handed the handkerchief for wiping hands to the waiter behind him, calmed down, and then told the waiter behind him: "The sixth prince left his strategy at noon, and I wanted to bring it to him later. Now that I am going to see my father, you will send the Sixth Prince’s proposal in person, and don’t delay it and hand it over to the Grand Tutor tomorrow.”

The servant listened to Xiao Yuanjing's order, and immediately responded with a salute: "Here."

Xiao Yuanjing tidied up his clothes, and then said: "Since my father sent my father-in-law to announce, of course I have to go, and I ask my father-in-law to lead the way."

Cheng Youzhi nodded, and he admired His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince more and more. No matter when and where, he can stay calm. Such a demeanor is really admirable.

Along the way, because there were other eunuchs passing on the news, Cheng Youzhi didn't say much, Xiao Yuanjing didn't speak, and he didn't speak, so as not to fall into the pretext of tipping off the news.

Xiao Yuanjing walked with his head held high, and he could see the emperor's guard of honor outside Yunruo Hall from a distance. Xiao Yuanjing paused, then turned his head and asked, "Does the Empress know about this?"

After saluting, Cheng Youzhi said: "If you go back to Your Highness, someone has already been sent to inform the empress, and she must be in the palace at this moment."

Xiao Yuanjing responded, and then smiled wryly: "It's making the queen mother worry. Eunuch Cheng, let's go."

Xiao Yuanjing's inexplicable sentence made Cheng Youzhi a little confused, so he still followed Xiao Yuanjing and walked into the Yunruo Hall with him. The emperor sat upright in the main hall, and Empress Xun also sat side.

Yang Zhaoyi knelt down in the hall and wept bitterly, beside her was Xiao Yuanyao, with gauze wrapped around her head.

Seeing that Cheng Youzhi brought Xiao Yuanjing here, the emperor's expression changed a little, and he waved for Xiao Yuanjing to come forward, avoiding his salute.

Xiao Yuanjing said: "I heard from Eunuch Cheng that sister Yuanyao fell and was injured, and she was frightened. What's going on?"

As soon as she heard Xiao Yuanjing's voice, Xiao Yuanyao yelled and jumped into Yang Zhaoyi's arms, tightening Yang Zhaoyi's sleeves in horror: "Fourth brother, fourth brother... I haven't done it, I haven't done it, Don't push me, don't hurt me, I didn't do it..."

Yang Zhaoyi also wiped the tears from her face, and turned her head to look at Xiao Yuanjing, crying sadly:

"What else does the Fourth Highness want to do? My Heng'er can barely get up because of the broken leg of the Fourth Highness. Poor my Yao'er is now frightened by you again. Fourth Highness, what am I sorry for?" You, what did my Heng'er and Yao'er do to make the Fourth Highness so disgusted that you must force them to death."

Xiao Yuanjing looked astonished, and looked at the emperor as if asking for help: "Father, I don't know what Lady Zhaoyi is talking about."

Empress Xun said: "Your Majesty, now that Jing'er is here, you have to listen to what Jing'er has to say about the matter."

Yang Zhaoyi said: "The Fourth Highness is the empress's own son, so naturally he is towards him. Now it is my Yao'er who is hurt, and the concubine is the one who is sad and distressed. How can the empress understand? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision for Yao'er." , decide for the concubine."

The emperor looked at Xiao Yuanjing who was standing in the palace with a dazed face, and then at Xiao Yuanyao who was frightened and was still trembling in Yang Zhaoyi's arms. Now, so the emperor has gradually calmed down, so he will not be wronged again.

The emperor said: "Jing'er, Yao'er's maid said that I met you in the Royal Garden at noon, and you scolded her, saying that you knew that my birthday was a gift she ordered someone to steal, and even threatened that if she didn't Play it safe, deal with her like you dealt with Heng'er, and even pushed Yao'er down, causing her face to be bruised, is there such a thing?"

Xiao Yuanjing looked a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted and argued: "Father, my son is not there! After my son came out of the Jiaofang Hall, he met Chen'er who was going to return to the Qian Palace with him. He can help my son I testify that today the Grand Tutor ordered me to write a policy statement, and he came to study with me, and even Chen'er left his policy theory at my son's place, and I just asked someone to send it."

Xiao Yuanyao sobbed faintly in Yang Zhaoyi's arms, which made Yang Zhaoyi feel extremely distressed.

Yang Zhaoyi put her arms around Xiao Yuanyao, looked sideways at Xiao Yuanjing and said, "Your Highness Fourth, what does it mean that I, Yaoer, wronged Your Highness? Are her injuries fake?"

Xiao Yuanyao also murmured in horror: "Fourth brother...fourth brother, please forgive me, I don't...I don't..."

Yang Zhaoyi hurriedly reprimanded: "Ruxiang, tell me!"

Yun Xiang, who was standing beside Hou, was so frightened by Yang Zhaoyi's voice that she knelt on the ground, trembling along with her, kowtowed to the emperor and empress before saying:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Fourth Highness...the princess was indeed pushed by His Highness. At that time, she was in the imperial garden. The princess greeted Fourth Highness. Fourth Highness... Fourth Highness said that the princess is not worthy to greet him. Said, also said that the princess is not his sister, the empress did not give birth to a princess, and even kept saying that the princess ordered someone to steal the birthday gift for His Majesty, when the princess argued... Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness overthrew the princess. "

Yun Xiang cried and said that she would show the terror of the Fourth Highness and her love for the princess to the fullest, coupled with Xiao Yuanyao's trembling and frightened appearance, it would indeed win a lot of sympathy.

So after listening to Yunxiang's words, Yang Zhaoyi hugged Xiao Yuanyao, knelt and went towards the emperor. The mother and daughter cried into tears. Yang Zhaoyi said:

"The Fourth Highness is the empress's son, but my Yao'er is also your Majesty's daughter. Yao'er's appearance has been ruined now, and the pain she has suffered makes the concubine, a concubine, a mother, feel really distressed. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, My concubine begs you, make the decision for Yao'er, and uphold justice for Yao'er."

Empress Xun looked at Yang Zhaoyi's mother and daughter, Xiao Yuanyao's pitiful appearance really made her feel uncomfortable, but after all Xiao Yuanjing was her son, and she never believed that Xiao Yuanjing would do anything to hurt her sister.

Empress Xun hurriedly said: "Yang Zhaoyi, get up first and let Yao'er go to the bedroom to rest."

Yang Zhaoyi glanced at her sadly: "If your Majesty does not seek justice for Yao'er, it doesn't matter whether Yao'er rests or not!"

Empress Xun's expression froze, and she sat back in her seat, ignoring the mother and mother.

But the emperor raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yuanjing, recalling everything that happened during these days, and asked: "Jing'er, what do you want to distinguish?"

Xiao Yuanjing saluted solemnly before saying: "Father, Yao'er is your daughter, so she is naturally your younger sister. As we all know, when the eldest brother lost his mother, in order to comfort him, I insisted on playing polo with injuries. Just in order not to spoil the joy of the great emperor, Chen'er is the child of the concubine Xian, and I am not a sibling of the same mother, but how the minister treats Chen'er, and whether the minister is friendly to brothers, the emperor should know best, son The minister would never say such a thing!"

But Yang Zhaoyi said: "The meaning of the Fourth Highness is that I, Yaoer, deliberately hurt her face to hurt you, but Yaoer and the Fourth Highness are not often together, and she has never offended the Fourth Highness. Why did she want to hurt you?" you."

Xiao Yuanjing hastily explained: "How did Yao'er fall? Only she knows in her heart. I didn't do it, or I didn't do it. Just now, Yunxiang said that when she was arguing about her father's birthday, the birthday gift was stolen. She pushed it, but this matter was clearly done by the eunuch in charge of the Zichen Palace, and it was dealt with by the father after interrogation. I never questioned it, but now I say that I questioned Yao'er for stealing the birthday gift, so I pushed her to the ground , why would I do this."

Xiao Yuanjing flicked up his clothes, and knelt straight in front of the emperor, with a calm expression: "Father, I have been wronged. I have never done anything to hurt Yaoer. How do I treat my brothers and sisters? The emperor made his own decision, but if my son didn't do it, he just didn't do it! My son was wronged!"

The emperor's heart trembled slightly upon hearing the sound of the son being wronged.

Fortunately, he didn't reprimand Xiao Yuanjing just now, and endured that momentary impulse. If he hadn't held back just now, and reprimanded him when he entered the palace, wouldn't it be that he did something wrong in the end, and the injury was repaired with difficulty? father-son relationship?

Yang Zhaoyi kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, is it true that my Yao'er looks like this now? The Fourth Highness said that he doesn't have one, so does that mean he doesn't?"

The emperor's breathing was a little heavy, he got up and stood in front of them and said, "Yuxiang, I ask you, when the Fourth Highness pushes Princess Yuanyao, who else can testify except you."

Rue Xiang was taken aback for a moment, as if she was trying to remember: "Yes... yes, Lidong beside the Fourth Highness."

The emperor frowned slightly: "What else?"

Yun Xiang looked a little anxious, but she was still thinking about it, and she shook her head after a long time: "At that time, no one seemed to pass by or see in the imperial garden."

Xiao Yuanjing sneered: "No one saw it, so you want to forcefully plant the matter of the princess breaking her face on me? You are so brave!"

But Yang Zhaoyi said: "Perhaps it is because no one can see that you are so confident, Your Highness, that you don't admit what you have done."

Xiao Yuanjing was about to speak, but he heard the little eunuch who was waiting outside the palace rush in, and after saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince begs to see you."

The emperor paused, and then signaled the little eunuch to invite Xiao Yuanchen in.

Xiao Yuanjing then said: "Father, Lady Zhaoyi just said that because there is no one in the imperial garden, I dared to do it and dare not admit it, but I didn't do it, and Lady Zhaoyi has no other witnesses except this maid, and my son I have said that I have been writing policy discussions with Chen'er in Chengqian Hall in the afternoon, but I have not been to the Imperial Garden, but there are witnesses."

As soon as Xiao Yuanjing finished speaking, Xiao Yuanchen led Lidong and Liqiu in from outside the Yunruo Hall, knelt down upright in the hall, and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor asked: "Chen'er, tell father, what are you doing this afternoon?"

Xiao Yuanchen saluted the emperor again, and said with a serious expression: "Father, my son and fifth brother are studying at the National Academy of Sciences and the Taifu. My son finished his lunch in his own hall, thinking about the gift that the fourth brother sent yesterday. Okay, I heard that the empress mother invited the fourth brother to go, and the son went to the Jiaofang Hall, but just before the gate of the palace, he met the fourth brother. He didn't go to greet the empress mother, so he followed the fourth brother back, the fourth brother He also tutored his sons and ministers to write policy theory, and even left the policy theory with the fourth brother."

Hearing what Xiao Yuanchen said, Xiao Yuanyao, who had been hiding in Yang Zhaoyi's arms all this time, poked her head out and anxiously defended herself:

"No, no, Father, they are lying, Fourth Brother has clearly been to the Imperial Garden today!"
