Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
**'s consort didn't even look at him, and started to curse: "Who is so blind as to come here to seek death? Don't want to live anymore, right? Someone, take him out and chop him off."
Damn it! He was so frightened that he lost all interest. He would not be satisfied even if he was chopped off. He should be torn into pieces.
Princess Qingyuan followed his words and shouted, "Come here! Tie up this pair of bastards."
As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Consort Xiao turned around suddenly and saw the princess standing there against the light, like the King of Hell.
His face changed, and he quickly rolled down from the bed and knelt on the ground. The woman in the bed was trembling with fear, pulling the quilt to wrap her body, and the quilt was shaking back and forth like waves.
"Princess! Please forgive me this time. Considering the flower viewing banquet we are holding today, let's make a big deal out of a small matter. It was this bitch who seduced me, your husband."
The woman was trembling like a sieve and was ruthlessly stabbed in the back by her husband. Although her face was sad, she knew in her heart that this was the best outcome. She was able to save her son's life with her life, which was worth it no matter how you looked at it.
"Yes, it was I who deliberately seduced the Prince Consort. Everything is my fault. Please, Princess, execute me!"
As the Penglai courtyard became noisy, Chu Xiaoxiao was extremely excited. Even though she was still a baby of a few months old, she was still curious.
She patted the prince and pointed to the yard: "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The meaning was obvious, asking him to carry her in.
The prince didn't dare, shook his head and comforted her: "Be good, sister Xiaoxiao! Princess Qingyuan is inside, we can't go in. We are still children, so we can just stand at the door and take a look."
Chu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she hit Li Sizu on the head, and her eyes almost rolled to the sky.
[You idiot, why don't you sneak in secretly? You should eat the first-hand melons. What's the point of eating the second-hand ones? ]
Sneaking in secretly? It really doesn't fit with his status as a prince. For the sake of his sister Xiaoxiao, he will do it reluctantly this time!
While the palace maid at the door was stunned, the prince ran in with Chu Xiaoxiao in his arms. He ran so fast that by the time the palace maid reacted, she had already run far away.
Chu Xiaoxiao was carried on the prince's shoulders as she ran. She was not afraid at all and was laughing with saliva streaming down her face. If she hadn't been afraid that Princess Qingyuan would get angry after hearing her "giggle" laughter, she would have definitely drooled all the way.
After Li Sizu ran in, he did not go directly into the house, but went around to the back of the house and opened the window a crack, just enough to see what was going on inside the house.
The person guarding the window had already left. After Princess Qingyuan kicked the door open, the woman did not try to escape through the window, so they retreated.
This was just convenient for Li Sizu and Chu Xiaoxiao. Their two heads, one on top and one on the bottom, lay neatly on the window crack, looking into the house with great interest.
"Execution? Do you deserve it?" Princess Qingyuan looked at the woman huddled in the corner of the bed with contempt, then turned her gaze back to Prince Consort Xiao. "Tell me everything you've done over the years honestly. If you miss anything, don't blame me for turning my face against you."
"Yes!" Prince Consort Xiao nodded his head like crazy, wearing only a pair of underwear, the rest of his body was naked, "This woman was my concubine before we got married, I brought her back from my travels when I was seventeen.
We got married and were going to send her away, but she didn't want to, so she stayed. I seldom go to her place on weekdays, and I don't know why she got mad today and ran into the mansion to find me. Princess! It's my fault, I didn't control myself, I accept any beating or punishment."
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was behind the window, shook her head as she listened. She felt that Prince Consort Xiao was really an expert at avoiding lightning, as his words that avoided the important issues were flawless.
Prince Xiao, who was standing by, saw the palace maid at the gate of Penglai Courtyard leave, so he tiptoed in. The ladies who were standing not far away were all dumbfounded.
Everyone pulled the three sisters-in-law, Yang, Yu and Wang, to the pavilion nearby and surrounded them to ask questions.
"Madam, the Duke! You three sisters-in-law have come here. Do you know something?"
Yang, Yu and Wang looked at each other and shook their heads collectively to indicate no.
The ladies who came with them were all dumbfounded and looked at each other, not knowing whether what the three sisters-in-law from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion said was true or false.
Yang knew that without a suitable reason, these people would not believe them.
He raised his hand and pointed at Penglai Courtyard and said, "I am here to look for my daughter. She was brought here by the prince."
Yu smiled and nodded: "I came here with my sister-in-law."
Wang added, "Me too."
The ladies suddenly realized what was going on.
They did see the prince holding the baby from the Duke of Huguo's mansion standing at the gate of Penglai Courtyard, and he even ran inside not long ago. They didn't know why they were joining in the fun.
The prince is only eight years old and is the heir apparent of a country, but he is willing to come here to play with a baby in his arms. Is it an accident or was it a premeditated plan?
It must have been an accident. They were both kids, how could they understand what was going on in the harem?
Yang: “…”
You are very ignorant. My Xiaoxiao loves gossip and eating melons. She can understand everything clearly.
Before the ladies could say anything, they saw a group of men among the guests coming, led by Chu Zhinan.
Yang stood up and walked towards him: "Xiaoxiao was carried in by the prince, and Princess Qingyuan is inside. We dare not barge in casually, for fear of something happening."
"What are you afraid of? It was the Prince who asked us to come."
Chu Zhinan and his men rushed into Penglai Courtyard.
Yang understood what Prince Xiao meant. He was afraid that the truth would be exposed and he would be implicated, so he hoped that Princess Qingyuan would not expose his identity as a concubine for the sake of everyone else.
Princess Qingyuan had to accept him if she wanted to consider the overall situation. Otherwise, it would be a huge joke for the royal family.
In the Penglai Courtyard, Princess Qingyuan looked at Prince Consort Xiao who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
"Think carefully, is there anything else you haven't explained?"
Prince Consort Xiao was startled, raised his head, and looked at Princess Qingyuan nervously, pretending to frown and think, and finally shook his head firmly: "That's all, I've said everything I need to say."
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
"very good!"
Princess Qingyuan had a sarcastic smile on her face. Just as she was about to say something, the voice of Prince Xiao was heard from behind.
"Mother! Why are you here? There are many guests ahead who need to be entertained. Your son can't handle it alone."
Turning her head to look at Prince Xiao, Princess Qingyuan immediately spat out two words: "Capture him."
Several guards came up from behind and without giving any explanation, they handcuffed Prince Xiao's hands and feet and threw him next to Prince Consort Xiao.
"Prince Consort! I only have one question for you today. Where is our child? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Prince Consort Xiao's heart trembled, but he dared not show it. He pretended to be innocent and asked suspiciously: "Princess! What's wrong with you? Isn't our child here? He is a son!"
