Chapter 253: Anticlimactic
"Second prince, second prince, wake up!"
Su Youyi patted his lowered face, the second prince raised his head with difficulty, his little face turned pale, and he saw in a trance that the person in front of him was Su Youyi, and he didn't know how to react.
Su Youyi took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said softly: "How is it, can you still hold it?" ”
The second prince bit his lip and finally nodded lightly at her.
Su Youyi also bowed her head, "Okay, then you can hold on, and I will enter the palace to persuade the emperor." You must hold on, your own life is at stake, understand? ”
Seeing that the second prince nodded again, she was relieved, got up and strode towards the hall.
Wan Guiren followed behind her and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, the emperor can't kill his child if he is angry, and the second prince's life is fine." ”
"I know, it's just that sometimes it hurts more in my heart than it hurts in my body. The second prince has always been excellent and favored in the past, but now he has been beaten by taking off his pants in public and losing face, what if he can't bear it for a while? ”
Su Youyi didn't look back, said quickly, and when she walked into the door of the Qianqing Palace, she saw Yan Concubine and Liu Chang kneeling inside, and her heart suddenly moved.
She stepped forward to bow to the emperor, but the emperor still did not speak.
Concubine Yan glanced at her, signaling that the emperor had not spoken all this time, and she didn't know what was going on.
But you can't just do it, the wound of the second prince hasn't been treated, and he's lying outside the palace gate!
Su Youyi said: "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”
Her face was anxious, the emperor couldn't bear to see it, and saw five concubines kneeling in a row in the lower hall, so that people saw it and thought that something big had happened in the harem, which was unsightly.
Then he said, "Get up and speak." ”
Everyone got up together, Xiao Yizi moved a small pestle for Su Youyi, and another one for Yan Concubine, and the rest of the people stood before the emperor spoke.
"What did you hear when you came here in a hurry?"
This is what Su Youyi asked.
Su Youyi thought for a while and said: "I heard that the emperor was furious and wanted to beat the second prince, and the concubine was talking with the two sisters in Yongshou Palace at that time, so I came to persuade the emperor together." I didn't expect it to be late, the emperor had already finished fighting. ”
The emperor smiled, "The place of Yongshou Palace is not close, even you heard the news and rushed here, it seems that the people closer should have heard it, but I don't know why you didn't come?" ”
Su Youyi was stunned when she heard this, knowing that the emperor was referring to the queen, and suddenly understood a little.
I'm afraid that the emperor wants to take advantage of today's opportunity to test everyone's reaction, and the queen's behavior of pretending not to hear the belated arrival is obvious.
Sure enough, before Su Youyi could speak, she heard the sound of a sedan chair falling to the ground outside, and the palace people sang: "The queen mother has arrived-"
The emperor's expression is not good-looking, and everyone has their own ideas.
The queen naturally saw the second prince outside the palace gate, but she didn't stop at all, and walked straight to the palace, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
"No courtesy."
The emperor took a moment to say: "What is the queen here for?" ”
The queen looked at the five people in the palace, they all came first, and the emperor asked herself what she was doing?
Didn't these people come to persuade the emperor to forgive the second prince?
She was stunned, and finally said with difficulty: "The concubine heard that the emperor beat the second prince angrily, and she was worried that the emperor was angry, so she came to visit." ”
"I see."
The emperor glanced outside the palace, "There shouldn't be anyone coming again, right?" ”
The queen was a little ashamed when she heard this, what did the emperor mean by this, did he accuse her of coming too late? She still didn't know what was going on here.
She looked at Su Youyi, who could only shake her head at her, indicating that she didn't know.
The queen said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what big mistake did the second prince make to make you so angry?" ”
"After a while, the queen can go and ask the third prince, and the eldest prince and the third prince are there. Okay, let's carry the second prince back, I'm tired, just let Concubine Zhao stay and serve. ”
As soon as the emperor said it casually, he wanted to send everyone away.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't the emperor very angry? is so anticlimactic, you don't even have to persuade yourself?
It's confusing.
Even so, everyone didn't dare to delay, and they all retreated, and Su Youyi glanced at Wan Guiren, who understood.
Concubine Yan escorted the second prince back for treatment, the queen was busy going to the third prince to inquire about the news, and Wan Guiren and Chunchang were looking for the eldest prince.
"It's my sister's meaning, she gave me a look and asked me to come to the eldest prince."
The eldest prince listened to the words of the noble man, and naturally he was not suspicious, he knew that the noble man and Su Youyi were like sisters, not to mention that the family was also connected to the sect.
He said, "Actually, there is nothing. Originally, it was just a story about the father and the emperor taking the second brother to refer to the deer as a horse, but I didn't want the second brother to not only be unable to answer, but also uncertain. Later, he directly hinted to his father that he was not good under the knees of Concubine Yan, and he wanted to go to Li Chang's knees to make him cheer up again. The father saw it clearly, and hit him in a rage on the spot. ”
Hearing this, Wan Guiren and Chun Chang glanced at each other, and said in his heart, did the second prince think about this kind of thing, or did Li Chang secretly do it?
In any case, Concubine Yan must have been very angry when she heard it.
Wan Guiren said again: "The eldest prince, then can you persuade your father and the emperor at that time?" ”
"Persuaded."
The eldest prince said helplessly: "It's useless to persuade him, my father's temperament is rarely angry, and once he is angry, no one can get it back." I'm afraid that only Concubine Zhao can listen to what he says, how can I persuade him? ”
Wan Guiren nodded, "It's good to persuade you, thank you for telling us this." Go back quickly, and let it be seen. ”
The eldest prince saluted and said goodbye, and the noble and pure Changzai also returned to Yonghe Palace.
"Sister Wan, why did you just tell the eldest prince that it would be good to persuade you?"
On the way back, Chun Chang expressed his doubts in his heart, and said gracefully: "Don't you think the emperor's performance today is very strange?" He seemed to be testing the attitude of everyone in the palace towards the second prince. ”
"How?"
"Sister Yan, as the adoptive mother of the second prince, is naturally the first one who should rush to the Qianqing Palace. But if you want to talk about the closest to the Qianqing Palace and the fastest news, it should be Changchun. The queen of the palace. But Sister Zhao, who lived far away, came to persuade the emperor, but the queen was late. Didn't you see that the emperor's expression was not good-looking? ”
Chun Chang was stunned, and was embarrassed: "This is difficult for me, I think the emperor's expression is often not good-looking, and he always looks so serious with a straight face." How can I tell if the queen is good-looking when she comes......"
Wan Guiren sighed, and so did his heart.
Talking about this with Chunchang is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow.
She said the result directly, "I don't think the emperor is very satisfied with the queen's attitude, think about it......"
