Just when Li Dequan was thanking him profusely, Sixi walked in and whispered beside Li Dequan for a while. Li Dequan's expression changed slightly and he said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, Concubine Nian and Third Brother are here and are waiting outside.
.”
What are they doing here at this time? At this time every day, he is reviewing memorials, and he doesn't like to be disturbed. Although Nian is arrogant, he also understands the importance. Very few people come here at this time, and they still carry
Fu Pei, in such doubts, said: "Let them come in."
As Li Dequan retreated, Nian, who was dressed in crimson and beaded and embroidered with branches and treasures, walked in with Fupei. As soon as he came in, he pulled Fupei to kneel on the ground and cry, while Fupei knelt on the side with his head bowed.
.
"What is this?" Yinzhen was surprised and walked down from behind the case. Nian had been with him for many years, and it was rare for him to cry like this.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me and Fupei!" Nian cried so hard that she felt very sad.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Yinzhen couldn't bear it. He took the silk in her hand and wiped away the tears on her face, "Don't cry anymore. Tell me clearly what happened."
Nian sobbed and managed to stop her tears, and said to Fu Pei, who kept his head down and said nothing, "Lift your head up and let your Majesty Ama take a good look."
Hearing this, Yinzhen turned his attention to Fupei, only to find that his hair was disheveled and his clothes were disheveled. Several buttons on his clothes had fallen off, and a large piece of his clothes had been pulled down, revealing the moon-white close-fitting clothes underneath.
Half of his sleeves were torn off. Looking at him like this, he didn't look like a prince, but more like a little scoundrel who was fighting.
Yinzhen is a person who pays great attention to his manners. Seeing him like this, he immediately felt unhappy. When Fupei raised his face, Yinzhen was surprised when he saw Fupei's face was bruised and purple.
One eye was swollen and could not be opened.
"Who hit this?" Seeing Fupei's appearance, Yinzhen was very angry. No need to ask, he must have been fighting with someone, but Fupei was the prince, who dared to hit him after eating the bear's heart.
"That's not all." Nian said as he rolled up Fupei's sleeves. He saw bruises on both arms and even a tooth mark on his right arm. Seeing the scars all over his son's body, Nian just
The tears that had stopped fell again, "Your Majesty, Fupei is the flesh that fell from my concubine. How is he being beaten like this different from using a knife to cut off the flesh from my concubine? I beg the emperor to make the decision for my mother and son."
.”
"You get up first." Yinzhen glanced at Sixi who was waiting by the door, and the latter immediately stepped forward to help Nian and sit down aside.
Just as Fu Pei was about to follow him, he saw Yinzhen staring at him with a gloomy expression. He panicked and hurriedly knelt down. He felt both respect and fear for the Emperor Ama who had the power to dominate the world.
"Fupei, I'm not going to ask where your injuries came from. I'm just asking if you know you're wrong?" Yinzhen asked condescendingly.
Fu Pei's body trembled slightly, and then he whispered: "I know I was wrong."
"What's wrong?" After hearing what Yinzhen said, Nian opened his mouth to speak, but held it back before he could speak.
"My son..." Fu Pei said he knew his mistake, but in fact he was confused in his heart. He didn't know where he was wrong. He lowered his head and quickly rolled his uninjured eyeball to think about countermeasures. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.
However, Fupei quickly caught the aura before it disappeared, kowtowed and said: "As a prince, I fight with others regardless of my status. This is a big mistake and it is against the royal etiquette."
When Yinzhen heard this, his expression softened slightly, and he nodded and said, "Finally you know where you went wrong. When you go back, copy the Book of Rites twice and show it to me within ten days." After Fupei's agreement, he said
: "Now tell me everything exactly."
Fupei quickly kowtowed and said honestly: "When I return to Emperor Ama, I finished my homework today and had nothing to do, so I took Xiao Duozi to play in the imperial garden. When I got there, I saw my fourth brother.
There, the son thought that Huang Ama had said that brothers should be friendly and harmonious. Recently, the fourth brother was because of...because of..." He glanced at Yinzhen secretly, as if he didn't know how to proceed.
"But it doesn't matter." Yinzhen said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Fu Pei swallowed his saliva and continued: "Because of the absence of Concubine Xi in the palace, the fourth brother has a cloudy and uncertain temperament. He walks alone and doesn't even talk to others, so I thought of going over to find some solution.
He was talking, but he didn't know that his son had just said a few words
, he started to beat Erchen, and Erchen had no choice but to fight with him. At first, Erchen was afraid of hurting his fourth brother and did not dare to use too much force, but his fourth brother beat Erchen like crazy, and even bit him with his teeth.
I was in great pain and also beat my fourth brother several times."
On that day, Yinzhen was furious and took Ling Ruo's position as Concubine Xi in the upper study room. However, in the end, this decree was not passed down and was not revealed to the Sixth Palace, so everyone in the harem still called her Concubine Xi.
"Is there such a thing?" Yinzhen guessed that Fupei was fighting with his other sons. After all, the eunuch didn't have the guts to beat the prince, but he never expected that he would be the most sensible and intelligent Hongli.
Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to be disbelieving, Nian, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and walked over, pointed at Fupei's red and swollen eyes and said: "The injury is clearly displayed in front of the emperor, there is no fake. Fourth brother is unruly.
I don't care about brotherhood at all, if not
The accompanying eunuchs helped pull Fourth Elder Brother away, Fupei might not even be able to kneel here!" Nian started crying again as she spoke, knelt down and said sadly: "Fourth Elder Brother is so cruel at such a young age.
, This is too much, please ask the emperor to make the decision for my concubine, mother and son!"
"You all get up." After Yinzhen said this, he said to Si Xi who was waiting for his death: "Go and bring Brother Si."
"Slave, I obey." Si Xi followed the order and left, while Nian stood aside holding Fu Pei's shoulders, checking on Fu Pei's injuries from time to time, feeling very distressed.
After waiting for a while, Si Xi returned to the Yangxin Hall, but he was alone. He only heard him reply: "I went to the elder brother's house and saw no sign of the fourth elder brother, nor in the study room."
"No need to ask, he must have committed a crime and was afraid of the emperor's punishment, so he hid." Nian said bitterly, with the plump and bright red like rose petals outlining a trace of disgust.
Just when Yinzhen was about to let Si Xi go look for her again, Li Dequan came in and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Bin is taking Si'age to seek an audience with her." Jin Bin is the Guarjia family.
"Oh?" Yinzhen raised his thick eyebrows lightly and said, "Let them come in."
Not long after he finished speaking, Guarjia came in holding Hongli's hand. When they met Hongli, they found that his appearance was not much better than that of Fupei. He had many injuries on his body and his braids were unraveled.
Drape it randomly behind your back.
When Hongli saw Fupei, his fist hanging by his side clenched loudly, and his eyes were fixed on Fupei, as if he wanted to eat him. In total, Fupei was two years older than Hongli, but
Seeing Hongli's cannibalistic appearance, he couldn't help but stiffen, shrank his feet, and took half a step back. Upon seeing this, Nian gave Hongli a fierce look.
