The old eunuch hurriedly helped his wife up, while Concubine Ding couldn't care less about herself. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her son, wiping her tears and saying, "God, what's going on? It's okay to go out in the morning..."
"Could it be that he suddenly suffered from hysteria? It seems like he was possessed by an evil spirit." The old eunuch guessed.
"Then why are you still standing there? Go and call for the imperial doctor and the mage!" Concubine Ding screamed with disheveled hair: "Go and call for the emperor quickly!"
This last sentence was very effective. After hearing this, King Qi immediately stopped going crazy.
"Don't, don't tell Father!" He raised his head in panic.
"Beast, what kind of karma have you done?" Concubine Ding understood now and immediately let go of her son and rubbed her belly.
But no matter how she asked, Zhu Shu was like a prickly gourd and said nothing.
How can a mother not be able to cure her son?
Concubine Ding immediately called a few small firemen to come in, pressed Her Highness onto her hips, took off her pants, and exposed her two buttocks.
Then she wielded the cane with her own hands and started beating him hard.
Usually, it doesn't take more than ten strokes for His Highness King Qi to give up.
This time, he actually held on for thirty times before collapsing and begging for mercy, which shows how serious the situation was.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Concubine Da Ding panted and dropped the bloody cane and asked fiercely.
Now her makeup was gone, her hair was disheveled, her voice was hoarse, and she looked so menacing that she couldn't be any less beautiful at all.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu was the one I pushed into the water..." Zhu Shu said weakly as he lay on the porridge.
But he only felt a sense of relief in his heart. This time, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night long. He even had dark circles under his eyes at such a young age. It was really torturous.
"What, it's you?!" Concubine Da Ding suddenly exploded again. This time of love, the culprit of the unrest in the palace is here!
"Are you going to heaven?!" She picked up the cane and tried to hit it again.
The old eunuch quickly stopped him. "My dear, you can't hit me any more. If you hit me again, something will happen!"
"I want to avenge my mother, thinking that this will make my mother happy." Zhu Shu was not stupid, and quickly defended loudly:
"And I just wanted him to turn into a drowned rat and make a big fool of himself. I didn't want to kill him at all! But then I got scared and ran away..."
"You idiot, you still have to explain? You can't admit this kind of thing even if you are beaten to death!" Concubine Ding was so angry that her chest hurt. She pointed at the old eunuchs and said fiercely:
"If you guys dare to go out and talk nonsense, I will kill your whole family!"
The eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly said that they did not dare. No one who came through the troubled times was merciful. If they said they would kill your whole family, they would kill your whole family!
"It's too late..." Zhu Zhu whispered.
In the west room, you can hear the needle drop.
Concubine Ding composed herself, waving her hands to repel a few irritators, leaving only her confidant old eunuch beside her.
Then he asked his son angrily: "You idiot, you won't admit it to others, will you?"
"Lao Liu already knows." King Qi whispered.
"Did he see you?" Concubine Ding said through gritted teeth, "If you don't recognize him even if you see him, who would believe a ten-year-old child?!"
"He didn't see..."
Concubine Ding was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard King Qi gasp again: "But he said Mr. Liu saw it, and Mr. Liu told him personally."
"Mr. Liu?" Concubine Ding recalled that there was only one gentleman named Liu in the main hall, but how could that be possible? "It can't be Liu Ji, right?"
"That's him." King Qi nodded.
"Nonsense, Mr. Liu is a fairy-like figure who has long ignored secular affairs! How could he care about such nonsense?!" Concubine Ding flatly did not believe it.
"But, that's what Lao Liu said."
"He is cheating on you, idiot!" Concubine Ding stabbed her son on the forehead with her finger, leaving a bloody mark.
"Does he have that kind of heart?" King Qi couldn't believe it. He had always looked down on the naive sixth brother, and felt that apart from the second brother, the most stupid person was the sixth brother.
"You were so scared that you peed your pants. Who is so heartless?" Concubine Ding rubbed her belly with one hand and her heart with the other. She wished she could use another hand to rub her temples that were throbbing.
She had been in the palace of Chen Youliang, a man with sinister relationships, and knew that she could not act rashly at this time and had to think clearly about the pros and cons before doing anything.
Fortunately, there was enough time left for her to think things over carefully.
~~
When the sun set in the west, Concubine Ding, who had become beautiful again, ordered the old eunuch:
"Eunuch Hou, go and invite His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
She planned to refuse to admit her guilt, and then scare Lao Liu so that the boy would not dare to fart randomly.
"yes."
"In addition, you can go to Mr. Liu in person to make up for your highness's leave." Concubine Ding paused and whispered: "If you complain to him again, you will say that the King of Chu has slandered my son. Look at him.
What a reaction."
"Yes." Eunuch Hou asked for instructions: "But if Mr. Liu doesn't know anything, wouldn't it cause complications?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu won't meddle in other people's business." Concubine Ding said very firmly: "It's not like you don't know why he ended up in this situation?"
"That's what your Majesty said." Eunuch Hou nodded with deep approval.
"So I don't believe that Mr. Liu would be too talkative at all." Concubine Ding said coldly: "Just in case, I still have to make sure."
"Your Majesty, you are so steady." Eunuch Hou quickly flattered her.

When it was time to apply for the license, the sound of cloud boarding for the end of the class was heard in the main hall.
"Oh, I finally made it through another day!" King Yan stretched his body, turned around and smiled at Zhu Zhen: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
"Does it not hurt?" Zhu Zhen looked at his left hand angrily and saw that it was still a little red and swollen.
After all, he was slapped in the palm by Liu Bowen.
"Here, let me apply some more ointment on you." Fifth Brother showed out a small porcelain bottle. "This is Zhang Zhongjing's prescription. I added a few more medicines to make it. Although it will hurt a little at first, the effect will be better
Okay, I’m sure the swelling will subside overnight.”
It just hurts a little bit, okay! Zhu Zhen secretly complained and thanked Fifth Brother for his kindness and said:
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm just annoyed. How dare he hit the prince of Ming Dynasty? Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father?"
"You'd better not. If my father knows about it, he will only say that it was a good fight!" Fifth Brother quickly stopped him from this stupid idea.
"Then I'll beat you even harder." Zhu Di continued: "It's true that you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but first of all, you are the son of my father. When my father's violent temper comes up, good guy, even the eldest brother can't escape.
beat."
"Really..." Zhu Zhen's face collapsed.
"So to make iron, we need to be strong. We must improve our ability to resist being hit." Zhu Di put his arm around his shoulders and walked out while imparting his experience:
"I'm not boasting, brother. No one is better than me at getting beaten."
"Fourth brother has developed calluses on his palms and buttocks. You can't do it even after a few years of hard work." Fifth brother also promoted his own method and said: "You'd better use my medicine..."
Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he couldn't even figure out whether they were playing tricks on him or not.
While talking, the three of them left the main hall.
The prince only studied in Wenhua Hall in the morning, and went to Wuying Hall in the afternoon to practice with his father, so there were only the three of them when he returned.
Eunuch Hou had been outside the Wenhua Gate early, and saw the three highnesses chatting and laughing. He quickly stepped forward and kowtowed, and respectfully said to Zhu Zhen:
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, my mother-in-law invites you."
