Concubine Lan knelt on the ground with her head lowered, looking pitiful and helpless.
One hand gently patted the arm of the fifth prince beside him to express comfort.
And where no one could see her, there was a sinister look in her lowered eyes.
If his brother hadn't made a big mistake and was about to be banished from the capital by the emperor, he wouldn't have made such a trick and asked Rui'er to frame the fourth prince.
Who knows that the emperor has always been partial to Concubine Yu and her son? As long as it concerns the fourth prince, he will always be more generous. Now even if it is to appease their mother and son, he will make up for it.
Concubine Yu, the fourth prince...it's really useful.
An unknown amount of time passed like this, but the fourth prince still hadn't returned. Concubine Yu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked increasingly pale. She didn't know whether it was because she was sick or because she was angry at the traitor who had escaped.
"Mother and concubine..."
The fifth prince looked so haggard, and because his skin was so white, the wounds on his face looked even more hideous and terrifying. He pulled Concubine Lan's sleeves and said pitifully: "My son, I feel uncomfortable..."
When Concubine Yu heard this, her already bad face became even paler, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes were filled with self-reproach.
The fifth prince suddenly closed his eyes and refused to look at him.
A hint of gloom flashed in Xiao Yinhan's eyes, he lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice:
After standing there for a while, the timid Sixth Prince was called in. Jiang Tang guessed that the matter was half done.
"What does the Fourth Prince mean by these words? Could it be that I have wronged you?"
Xiao Yinhan lowered his eyes and looked at his "poor" brother with a bad look: "Don't worry, whatever you are afraid of him, that's what he is here to do."
Xiao Yinhan walked into the palace, lifted up his robe and knelt down to salute: "My son, please see your father, the emperor, mother and concubine."
When I peeked at the main seat, the emperor didn't say a word in rebuttal. It was obvious that he acquiesced in his insult.
Why is the sixth brother here? Is he trying to help Xiao Yinhan expose him?
Just when the fifth prince was trying to discern something from that trembling figure, someone suddenly blocked him in front of him.
Emperor Huaiwen was surprised: "Lao Liu, why are you here?"
"Son, I will see my father, the imperial concubine, and the concubine Lan..."
If she is right, then he must tell the truth.
"Just think it's your fault. Don't blame fourth brother. Let's go back..."
If Jiang Tang were here, he would definitely say that some people really deserve to be beaten since childhood.
The fifth prince was equally confused as he was, no, more panicked than him.
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Lan's face changed.
-
Watching the young male protagonist approach the palace, Jiang Tang stood outside the palace waiting without following him.
Concubine Lan subconsciously looked at the fifth prince, and there was confusion in the eyes of mother and son.
"Reporting to my father, I have gone out to find a reason that will satisfy Concubine Lan."
As long as Xiao Yinhan admits it, she can ask the next question "Why do you want to bully others?"
Xiao Yinhan retorted unceremoniously: "Slandering him? Is it worthy?"
However, Concubine Yu frowned and warned: "Han'er, don't be rude!"
Concubine Lan was so angry at Xiao Yin that her chest hurt. Knowing that he had been venomous since childhood, she simply ignored him and turned to Emperor Huaiwen and cried pitifully: "Your Majesty, you have to believe that Rui'er will not..."
Ah, such a familiar, choking way of speaking...
But he thought of the bet he had made with the palace maid on his way back - she said with certainty that Concubine Lan and her son would sing along and plead for him and say good things.
Then after a while, the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground was also called in.
Concubine Lan shed tears again: "Rui'er..."
Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up and he looked over, and sure enough he saw a familiar figure coming back——
On the main seat, the emperor, who had always looked gloomy, flashed a smile in his eyes when he saw him, but soon realized that this move was inappropriate, and he said with a heavy face:
The fifth prince knew that the more he said this, the more people present would think that Xiao Yinhan was domineering and vicious.
From time to time, people looked at her curiously. It was obviously brought back by the fourth prince, but why haven't they seen it before?
But who would have thought that after saying two words, he was interrupted by an unceremonious teenage voice:
"Since you know it's your fault, why do you have the nerve to come to my mother's palace to find trouble?"
System: [Yes.]
The emperor did not hesitate: "Pass it!"
What the Fifth Prince didn't expect was that Xiao Yinhan really didn't like explanations, but that didn't mean that he couldn't let others explain.
So the sixth prince, the "chosen unlucky man", became his mouthpiece this time.
"Where have you been? Why are you back now?"
The tears on Concubine Lan's face were still wet, and she looked surprised and angry: "Do you dare to say that the injuries on my son's body were not caused by you?"
Xiao Yin looked coldly at the sixth prince on the ground.
Emperor Huaiwen raised his hand to interrupt her cry and looked at Xiao Yinhan: "You said Xiao Wu framed you, do you have any evidence?"
Eunuch Liu on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter. In the whole palace, his highness was the only one who dared to speak like this out of favor.
Unexpectedly, this time the young man did not act according to common sense. He did not look at her, but looked at the fifth prince coldly: "Whether it is wronged or not, do you have no idea in your heart?"
She just breathed a sigh of relief: "Can this matter be over?"
But he comforted himself in his heart, no, what does Xiao Yinhan, a reckless man who only uses his hands and doesn't understand his brain, know? He has never explained this before.
She just pretended that she didn't know, and still had time to talk to the system: "The male protagonist's dream is quite real."
Concubine Lan, who was wiping her tears and pretending to be pitiful, was stunned when she heard this.
Xiao Yinhan didn't want to make his mother and concubine angry anymore, so he didn't respond. Instead, he spoke to Emperor Huaiwen on the side: "Father, I want to send someone in. What is going on between me and my fifth brother? He
Know."
"...Your Highness, Fourth Highness, it's not enough for you to beat my son, now you want to unite with others to slander him?"
She knew that the Fourth Prince was daring and courageous, so she asked this question deliberately.
The young man's figure is as majestic as a bamboo vessel. Even when faced with complaints and troubles, he still looks neither humble nor overbearing.
"I'm telling you, Father, the fight between the fourth and fifth brothers started at the banquet that day..."
The others looked at him with the same confusion.
Behind every naughty child there must be a pampering and doting parent.
Concubine Lan glared angrily at the young man standing in front of her, but she didn't know whether such a big reaction was out of anger or panic.
And sure enough...this annoying mother and son did not disappoint at all.
As the emperor spoke, a timid voice was called in from outside.
Young Xiao Yinhan didn't really want to answer this question.
The Sixth Prince trembled and his voice was filled with tears: "Yes, that little eunuch is outside..."
Wuwuwu, he is just a spectator, what does it have to do with him?
The young eunuch was called in, and as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he immediately took action.
The fourth prince was so angry that he wanted to stand up and hit him to shut him up.
And no one expected that the person who was faster than the fourth prince would be Concubine Yu——
