The seventh prince quickly rushed to the mother concubine, frantically bouncing and begging for a hug, for fear that the third brother would catch up and catch him.

Yiqiu hurried forward to take away the Seventh Prince, lest the child affect Concubine Xi's fighting spirit.

The third prince straightened his clothes, turned around with an arrogant expression, bowed his hands to greet Concubine Xi, and then raised his chin, the villain first complained: "Your Majesty is late, I didn't see what happened just now, I want to take some younger brothers to Cuju In practice, the old seven was too tired, refused to agree, and suddenly knocked my elder brother to the ground, alas, I fell—"

"I came early in the morning." Concubine Xi took two steps forward, staring at the third prince coldly: "I saw everything just now, you lost your temper with your younger brothers, it is inconvenient for me to interfere, but what happened just now, Not only I saw it, but these slaves also saw it, your three younger brothers, all saw it."

Resentment flashed across the face of the third prince, but he couldn't be rude to the elders after all, so he could only hold back his anger and quibble: "It's good that your mother sees it. I really came to ask them to follow me to practice. Look, the sixth child hates me." This third brother refused to practice with me. The seventh brother didn't talk to me at all, that's all, but when he got angry, he knocked my third brother to the ground! Oh, I was hit by him... ..."

The third prince held his stomach and gasped.

Concubine Xi sneered: "It seems that this palace lacks control over Lao Qi. In the future, even if the third prince beat him to death, he should not obstruct it rashly. If someone dies, the emperor will ask for justice. But, Ben Gong doesn't quite understand, Lao Qi is His Highness's blood brother, why His Highness would slander him as a barbarian bastard? Is it because he suspects that the emperor's blood is not flowing on his body, or..."

The third prince's face turned pale, his eyes turned, and he laughed again: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I was knocked to the ground by Lao Qi just now, and I got angry for a while, remembering that my uncle was fighting against Japanese pirates on the coast, and thought that we brothers should work together to fight against the Japanese pirates. I don't want Lao Qi to attack me! In a fit of anger, I said how he is like those barbarian bastards, this is not a fight!"

Concubine Xi saw that he beat him up, and even brought out her uncle as a backer. She was angry and hated, and wanted to tear her face apart, and bring all the witnesses present to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and ask the emperor for comment!

But the last sliver of reason was still persuading her to calm down.

The war is still in chaos, and it is impossible for the emperor to accumulate grievances for the harem and affect the root of the Tong family.

If it gets too big, it's nothing more than a reprimand, punishing the third prince for copying books to repent, and at most he will be grounded for half a month.

Once the face is torn apart, it is tantamount to a formal fight against Concubine Tong.

Concubine Xi knows her weight. She is just a 19-year-old dancer. The former sisters all supported each other and concentrated on dancing. They have never played tricks on anyone since they grew up. Who is Concubine Tong's opponent?

If she can't beat Concubine Tong and is murdered instead, how will her young child survive to adulthood?

Seeing that Concubine Xi had not spoken for a long time, Yiqiu was so anxious that she was on the verge of burning.

So many people have heard the third prince insulting the seventh prince as a "bastard" face to face, this is the emperor's head, why not take the opportunity to make a big fuss?

Seeing that Concubine Xi didn't dare to make trouble, the third prince smiled secretly, cupped his fists and bowed to Concubine Xi: "If your majesty has no other orders, I'll take my leave first. Lao Qi's action really knocked me apart. My whole body hurts badly. Go see the doctor."

Enraged by the contempt in his eyes, Concubine Xi turned her head to look at the seventh prince in Yiqiu's arms, and mocked as a lesson: "Lao Qi, how could you hurt your brother who is nine years older than you like this? Brothers occasionally quarrel Yes, you are a junior, you are only three years old, and I will let your third brother not be so ruthless in the future."

The seventh prince was still terrified, he didn't understand his mother's concubine's lesson, and gnawed on his little hands with tears in his eyes.

"puff……"

The friends around were still young and didn't know how to measure, and were amused by Concubine Xi's ridicule.

A few couldn't help it, covering their mouths and laughing until their shoulders trembled.

The third prince of Concubine Tong's family was beaten up by his three-year-old brother!

The third prince was so angry that his face turned blue and then turned pale. He wanted to fight back, but he was so angry that he couldn't turn his head from the ridicule around him. He immediately glanced around with murderous eyes.

Seeing that the people around were silent in shock, the third prince was so ashamed and annoyed that he didn't want to stay for a moment, he only saluted Concubine Xi, then turned around and left through gritted teeth.

You will have a good time in the future!

As soon as the third prince left, the sixth prince threw himself into the fifth brother's arms sobbing and began to cry.

The Seventh Prince was infected by the crying, and also cried on Yiqiu's shoulder.

Concubine Xi stepped forward to hug the sixth prince, patted his back to coax him for a while, then turned around and walked up to Xue Yao, put her hand on the side of his head, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Xue Yao's head was still a little dizzy, but he smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your compassion, the pain is gone, the third prince doesn't need much effort."

Concubine Xi sighed and said: "Don't be brave, I heard you from a long distance away when the third brother slapped you. Come back to Qingqiong Palace with me to rest for a night. I happen to have something to ask you tomorrow, and I will send someone to inform your family." .”

That night, Xue Yao was resting alone in the west hall of Qingqiong Palace, and he didn't see Concubine Xi, nor the Seventh Prince.

In the middle of the night, his mind was full of slow-motion replays of the little chubby boy hitting the third prince.

An old father's heart was so moved that it was about to explode!

Why is this cowardly cub who only wants "everyone protects His Highness" suddenly so successful?

He actually knocked the third child away because of him.

hateful.

Forget about feeding the two boxes of Wang Zai to the little fat boy tomorrow!

Concubine Xi's sudden appearance also surprised Xue Yao.

I don't know what Concubine Xi plans to talk to him about tomorrow, it won't be about changing reading companions, right?

The fourth prince sent the puppet to Concubine Xi, and went to Chunxi Palace to inform Mrs. Yi.

Looking at the crude furnishings of his mother's bedroom, the fourth prince chuckled twice, and murmured: "There is a danger of being honored, even if we live poorly, it is better than being stabbed secretly."

Yigui asked him why he made such a statement.

The fourth prince smiled mysteriously, leaned into Yigui's ear, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to tell you something interesting, but it must not be passed on."

He told Yigui about Concubine Tong's planting a ghost beside Concubine Xi.

In the early morning of the second day, Xue Yao was served by the maid to wash up, and after breakfast, he went to see Concubine Xi.

"Did the empress ask you to remind me that the sachet is poisonous?" Concubine Xi cut to the chase.

"As for the empress, I have never seen the queen." Xue Yao replied firmly.

Concubine Xi stared at him for a while, then said expressionlessly, "I really want to believe you, Xue Yao."

Xue Yao looked up at Concubine Xi.

"Even if your previous ignorance and ignorance were just pretending, I still want to trust you desperately." Concubine Xi's eyes gradually filled with sadness: "I hope that there will still be people in this world who will act chivalrously, sympathize with me being poisoned, and protect me." My innocent young son, is this idea stupid?"

Xue Yao stared fixedly at Concubine Xi for a long time, before replying calmly: "If someone really disregards safety and acts chivalrously, just to save the innocent, he is really a fool in the harem."

Concubine Xi's eyes darkened, and she laughed at herself in disappointment: "That's right, how can there be such a fool in the harem? It's my wishful thinking."

Xue Yao continued: "But I'm not from the harem. I have a chivalrous heart, but I don't have the courage to be chivalrous. I know how to take care of my own comfort, so I pretended to be crazy and foolish in front of the empress, pretending to inadvertently instruct the empress, and only hoped that the empress would change the sachet."

The fire in Concubine Xi's eyes revived, and she stared at Xue Yao in amazement: "Who told you to do this?"

"I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I say it. It's your so-called chivalrous heart that made me do this. I have no purpose and I don't ask for anything in return."

Xue Yao continued forcefully, "I know, I am a half-grown child, if no one tells me, it is impossible for me to know that the sachet is poisonous.

I can give you a hundred explanations for this point. For example, when I was reading with the third prince, I overheard Concubine Tong's conspiracy, but this is not the case.

Now that you say you're desperate to believe me, I don't want to lie to you again.

But this matter is related to my life, and I can't tell the real reason. I can only say frankly: I exposed the conspiracy of the sachet for your safety; I accompany the seventh prince to study, and I wholeheartedly hope that he will grow up safely.

No one taught me to do this, and I offended Concubine Tong because of it. On the day I sent the sachet into the palace, Concubine Tong asked me for a question.

Why does Concubine Tong know everything that happened in your palace?This may be the problem you need to watch out for.

And who whispered in your ears that I have something to do with the Queen?This person may have been instructed by Concubine Tong. "

Yiqiu's complexion changed, and he hurriedly defended Chunfang: "If you have nothing to do with the Empress, explain clearly why you entered and left the Chuxiu Palace! Why did you provoke our relationship between masters and servants! I think it is you that the empress wants to beware of. You protected Your Highness yesterday. That play, you also put it on!"

Xue Yao turned his eyes and looked at Yiqiu: "Where is the Chuxiu Palace? To be honest, I only accompanied the third prince to the school and Linyou Palace, but I don't know where the Chuxiu Palace is. Auntie? Wrong person?"

"I didn't say it!" Yiqiu was impatient, and sold Chunfang in front of Xue Yao, then turned around and shouted: "Chunfang, is it him you saw!"

Xue Yao's eyes lit up, and he swept towards the row of maids beside him like knives, waiting for the inner ghost named Chunfang to come out.

As soon as Chunfang came out, she cried and knelt down on the ground: "Auntie! The servant did not look away, this young master of the Xue family is too treacherous! How does he behave like an innocent child? He turned around and slandered the servant! For the safety of the empress, she was almost killed by the queen, death is not a pity, I just ask the empress not to doubt the loyalty of the servant!"

Yiqiu hastily spoke for Chunfang: "Madam, this child is really treacherous, don't trust him!"

"Okay." Concubine Xi closed her eyes and rubbed her temples: "I won't blame good people. Before there is no evidence, everything will be as usual. Xue Yao, the seventh child will be left to you."

Xue Yao nodded in agreement, and asked: "I have one more thing I want to tell my mother alone, and I would like to ask Aunt Yiqiu and Sister Chunfang to avoid it."

"You!" Yiqiu was furious.

"Okay." Concubine Xi waved everyone away, and fixedly looked at Xue Yao: "I guess what you want to talk about is about His Majesty's parade?"

"Your Majesty predicts things like a god." Xue Yao replied, "Your Majesty must never agree to the invitation for a parade."

Concubine Xi smiled bitterly: "Your request is really like an inner ghost. If I evade the emperor's good intentions, all the glory will be reduced to ashes in an instant. Since you are so smart, don't you know that the sacred favor is the foundation of me and Lao Qi?" .”
