"That's true. The seventh prince's life is really hard. He lost his mother when he was born, and unfortunately fell into the hands of Concubine Li. I don't know if he can survive the days to come!"
"Okay, don't worry about the spring and autumn here. It's all other people's housework. We, as slaves, should not join in, so as not to be a disaster."
Xiao Yu leaned against the door and thought to herself: Is Father here?
A tall figure appeared in his mind. Since Concubine Fang's death, he had hardly seen his father. I guess in his father's heart, his seventh son had also been forgotten.
Xiao Yu shook his head and tried to clear his mind. Although his father had forgotten him, he had to find a way to make his father notice him now!
He turned around and walked back to the bed, picked up the porcelain bowl containing the soup beside the bed, raised it high, and then let go.
The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the bitter soup splashed all over the floor.
He picked up a piece of the piece with an expressionless face and stabbed it into his thigh, causing blood to gush out and stain half of his trousers red.
When the palace maid guarding the door heard this, she was startled. She quickly opened the door and walked in. She saw Xiao Yu lying on the ground, her face as pale as paper, and her left leg had been stained red with blood, which was shocking.
The two palace maids were so frightened that they hurriedly helped Xiao Yu up and immediately sent someone to notify Grandma Wang.
Within a short time, Grandma Wang heard the news and came over. At this time, Xiao Yu was already dying. If she didn't rescue him in time, she might not be able to save her life.
Although Xiao Yu is not favored by the emperor, he is of royal blood after all. If he dies suddenly, the emperor and the queen mother will definitely pursue the matter. By then, everyone in this room will not be able to survive!
Grandma Wang weighed it again and again, gritted her teeth and said: "The seventh prince is in your care. I want to save his life. I will go find the empress right now."
After saying that, she quickly ran out of the room and quickly came to the front hall.
Grandma Wang asked the maid guarding the gate and learned that the emperor and Concubine Li were resting inside. If it wasn't an emergency, she really didn't dare to disturb them. But when she thought about the situation of the seventh prince, she could only bite the bullet and let the maid in to pass the message.
.
This matter was so big that the palace maid was also in a difficult position. She didn't want to offend either party, so she simply sent someone to invite Eunuch Hua, the general manager of the palace, to come over.
After listening to Grandma Wang's narration, Mr. Hua's face darkened: "You first go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor. You must ensure the safety of the seventh prince. Leave other matters to me."
Someone was willing to take on this responsibility. If Grandma Wang was granted amnesty, she hurriedly thanked her and hurried to the Imperial Hospital.
Eunuch Hua pushed open the heavy door, walked in slowly, and gently woke up Concubine Li and the emperor.
Concubine Li, who was sleeping soundly, was disturbed from her sweet dream. When she woke up, she looked very unhappy and asked coldly: "Didn't you see that His Majesty is still resting? Even if it is an urgent matter, we have to wait until tomorrow!"
The emperor stretched out his right hand, and Eunuch Hua immediately walked over and helped the emperor sit up.
When the emperor was still the prince, Eunuch Hua had been serving him by his side. The emperor knew his style of doing things very well. If it was not an emergency, he would not wake people up from bed in the middle of the night.
He rubbed his temples tiredly: "Tell me, what is it?"
Eunuch Hua glanced at Concubine Li first, then lowered his voice and said a few words in the emperor's ear.
The emperor's expression changed slightly, then he lifted the quilt, strode out of bed, and said in a deep voice: "Take me there immediately!" After a pause, he looked back at Concubine Li: "And you, let's go too!
"
Concubine Li felt inexplicable. She couldn't sleep well so late, why did she run out and mess around?! She stretched out her slender white arms, wrapped them around the emperor's waist, and said softly: "It's so late, Your Majesty."
We have an early morning meeting tomorrow morning, so let’s rest early. If you have anything to do, it won’t be too late to deal with it in the morning.”
But she didn't expect that this act of coquettishness would be rewarded by the emperor's cold eyes, as sharp as a knife, which frightened Concubine Li's body. She unconsciously opened her arms and dressed silently, not daring to pester her any more.
After the emperor changed his clothes, a group of people came to the door of the Ninth Prince's residence.
Concubine Li's face suddenly turned a little ugly. She held back her uneasiness and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's already so late and the Seventh Prince has already fallen asleep. If we burst in so suddenly, we might frighten him."
.If you really want to see him, I will take him to see you in person tomorrow. You..."
Before she could say anything, the emperor had already opened the door and strode in.
Concubine Li couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to follow in, quickly looking for excuses to defend herself. She knew that the Seventh Prince's wound was on his buttocks, so no one would see such a private place, so all she had to do was say that he was
I am playful and accidentally caught the cold, so I should be able to get over it...
While she was thinking this, she followed the emperor's footsteps and walked to the back room. However, when she saw blood and medicinal juice on the ground, as well as a few sharp pieces of broken porcelain, she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.
Several old doctors were gathered around the bed, muttering and discussing something. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down.
The emperor waved his hand and asked them all to stand up, and then strode to the bed. When he saw Xiao Yu's face was as pale as paper, his heart suddenly hurt: "What on earth is going on?"
Grandma Wang, who had been standing by her side, replied in a low voice: "The Seventh Prince accidentally broke the porcelain bowl, and the porcelain fragments got into his thigh, and then it became like this..."
"Where did the porcelain bowl come from in this house?"
"The Seventh Prince was infected with the cold. The porcelain bowl contained decoction and was left to dry by the bedside. I planned to feed the Seventh Prince to drink when he woke up, but I never thought that the porcelain bowl would be knocked over..." Going further back.
Said, her voice became lower.
The emperor's voice became more severe: "The seventh prince is sick, why didn't he consult the imperial doctor? How could the seventh prince break the porcelain bowl? Are you slaves all fools? You can't even take care of a child. What's the point of raising you?
use!"
In an instant, Grandma Wang and the other maids all knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
The emperor ordered them all to be kicked out, each of them was beaten fifty pieces, and then sent to the laundry room to do hard work. A group of guards came in and forcibly dragged away the palace maids who were crying and begging for mercy. The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.
Concubine Li stood silently beside her, not saying a word, and her face became increasingly ugly.
The emperor paid no attention to her, but held Xiao Yu's little hand tightly and asked the doctors in a low voice: "How is the condition of the seventh prince?"
The imperial doctors looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing this, the emperor's expression darkened again: "What's wrong?"
The oldest doctor stood up, raised his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is weak and lacks proper care. In addition, he has multiple serious injuries on his body and has been infected with severe wind and cold. His current situation is not optimistic..."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes suddenly changed: "What do you mean multiple serious injuries? Isn't it just the thigh that was pierced by a piece of porcelain?"
The old doctor glanced at Concubine Li in embarrassment, and the emperor followed his gaze and also glanced at Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was frightened by what they saw, but she still wanted a dowry and nothing happened. She asked bravely: "What are you looking at me for?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the old doctor, and continued to ask: "Answer my question."
The old doctor lowered his head: "The seventh prince's buttocks were beaten with a cane. Not only was the skin and flesh damaged, but the pelvis was also injured... Although it was simply bandaged, the injury was too severe, and the wind and cold entered the body.
This is the most deadly."
The punishment of the rod? The emperor's heart tightened, and his eyes immediately glanced at Concubine Li, with a cold tone: "How could the seventh prince be punished by the rod?"
Concubine Li suppressed the panic in her heart, her eyes were red with anxiety, and she said pitifully: "I don't know how the seventh prince was tortured. I originally thought that the seventh prince just had a cold, and he would be fine after drinking some medicine.
I never thought that this would actually be the case!”
As she said that, she lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I have always treated the seventh prince like my own son, but I never thought that he would be bullied like this. This is my dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
The emperor no longer looked at her, but his tone became more indifferent: "If the Seventh Prince has any shortcomings, you can go with him."
Hearing this, Concubine Li's face suddenly changed, her body swayed and she took two steps back, forcing a smile: "The Seventh Prince Jiren has his own destiny, and he will be safe and sound. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, don't be impatient.
Broken body and bones.”
The emperor snorted coldly, stood up, glanced at the people in the room, and finally cast his gaze on Eunuch Hua: "Send the seventh prince to Tianyi Palace. You can take good care of him for me. In the future, without my permission,
No one can see him without permission."
Hua Gonggong lowered his head: "Yes."
That night, Xiao Yu was sent to the Tianyi Palace. The imperial doctors and maids all circled around him, sweating profusely. The emperor stayed next door, but he was half asleep. He couldn't sleep well and simply crawled.
He got up and stood by the bed looking at Xiao Yu.
Before Xiao Yu woke up, the doctors said that as long as he survived the night, he would be out of danger.
This night is crucial for Xiao Yu, who is only seven years old.
All the work that could be done has been done. Most of the imperial doctors left the Tianyi Hall, leaving one imperial doctor waiting in the side hall.
The emperor put on his blouse, slowly walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the unconscious Xiao Yu quietly, his expression becoming more and more complicated.
Although Xiao Yu was a young man, his features and features had inherited the beauty of his biological mother, Concubine Fang. Looking at his pale and thin face, the emperor was stunned for a moment, as if he had gone back in time and saw Concubine Fang's gentle smile again...
Concubine Fang was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Her speaking voice was like singing, she whispered softly, and was very gentle. Her personality was also the same. She was not only extremely intelligent, but also considerate. Every time I was with her, I felt particularly comfortable.
It's just a pity that the beauty was so unlucky and she left so hastily that the emperor couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after her death. He always felt in a daze that she was still around.
In order to avoid this kind of sadness, he gave Xiao Yu to be raised by Concubine Li. At first, he could visit Xiao Yu regularly, but later, as time went by, no matter how deep the sadness was, he was forgotten.
Thinking about it like this, the emperor felt a sense of guilt in his heart. After all, he owed them mother and son.
He stretched out his right hand, gently wiped away the sweat on Xiao Yu's forehead, and asked in a deep voice: "Concubine Li hasn't left yet?"
Mr. Hua nodded: "Yes, the empress has been kneeling outside the palace and said she would not leave until she saw Your Majesty."
Is this a threat to him? The emperor's heart became cold, and his tone became more and more indifferent: "Then let her kneel and ignore her. She is not allowed to step even half a step into the Tianyi Palace. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed." (
