"Tell me, when the time comes, will the Emperor avenge the Empress Dowager, or will he seek justice for your mother?"

The second prince was so angry that his eyes went dark and he could hardly breathe.

There were even more turbulent waves in my heart!

As expected! It was them!

Zhou Hansheng sneered, dragged the second prince and Yu Xiaofang, and gradually retreated from the encirclement.

He pushed the second prince away, pulled Yu Xiaofang onto the horse, and galloped away.

The second prince fell to the ground after being pushed by him. When he was helped up by the panicked guards, Zhou Hansheng had already run away with Yu Xiaofang!

"Useless! All of you are useless! Hurry and chase them! Catch them and kill them without mercy! Kill them for me, and I will take care of everything. If I can't kill them, you won't live any longer!"

The second prince was really angry to death.

At that moment, several guards hurriedly rode their horses to catch up, and the second prince also mounted his horse and chased after him with a grim face.

The Second Prince was furious and just rode away in pursuit. It wasn't until he looked up and saw the Imperial Palace that he suddenly regained consciousness. His expression suddenly became even uglier.

This damn Zhou Hansheng actually entered the palace! He actually dared to enter the palace!

What would he do when he entered the palace? Needless to say, he would definitely go to the Emperor to complain. This bastard is no pushover. So, what would he say to the Emperor?

The second prince suddenly realized the fear and his back was covered in cold sweat!

He messed up.

Originally, if I had just "acted on impulse" and "killed Yu Xiaofang in the heat of the moment," the matter would have been over. With all the Yu family members dead, the situation would have naturally calmed down. If anyone dared to make a fuss about this matter again, they would have ulterior motives, and even without my own actions, my father would not forgive them.

That would be equivalent to attempting to use your father's filial piety towards the Empress Dowager to achieve some purpose. Can your father tolerate this?

But he messed up such a simple thing! Yu Xiaofang ran away, and Zhou Hansheng took him into the palace. What should he do?

The second prince also hurried into the palace and headed straight for Guanju Palace.

"Mother."

Concubine Yan was anxiously waiting for news from outside the palace while pretending to be calm.

Seeing his son running in, distraught and with an ugly expression, his heart sank instantly: "My son, how is it?"

"Mother, I am your son, your son."

The second prince trembled slightly, and after a long while, he stammered and told the story again, and also repeated incoherently the words that Zhou Hansheng had whispered in his ear.

Concubine Yan felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

As expected, as expected.

What is coming will come.

She couldn't help but think of the Queen Mother, and her wide-open eyes after her death.

At that time, everyone said that the Empress Dowager died with her eyes open, so the Emperor became even more furious and showed no mercy to the Yu family.

The Queen Mother died with her eyes wide open, but it was for her.

"Why are you so careless!"

Concubine Yan scolded the Second Prince with tears in her eyes. This was the first time she scolded her son so angrily.

"For such a big thing, even if you want to act impulsively, you must think it through carefully!"

"Mother, what should we do now? What should we do now?"

Concubine Yan didn't bother to complain and said calmly: "Go out of the palace and hide for a while, go out of the city, go! Don't let anyone find you!"

"this--"

"Hurry up! Mother will plead for you. Wait until your father calms down before we talk! Hurry up!"

"yes!"

According to Concubine Yan's idea, the Second Prince's escape was equivalent to "running away to avoid his father's punishment out of fear of being punished", which was no different from an ordinary son who did something wrong on impulse and ran away to hide. Doesn't this just show that he is straightforward, honest and impulsive, and has no scheming or cunning?

The emperor is most receptive to this and is also the most tolerant of it.

If Concubine Yan continued to plead and cry, after a few days, the emperor's anger would have subsided, and her son would have come back to apologize and admit his guilt. At most, he would have been confined to copy books, and the matter would have been over.

The second prince didn’t think so much, but he knew that his mother would not harm him, so he just had to do as he was told.

Unexpectedly, people from the Qianqing Palace arrived so quickly. Before the second prince could escape, he was stopped by the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace.

The second prince couldn't escape, so he had to go to the Qianqing Palace with Concubine Yan with a grim expression.

The Emperor was furious and didn't allow Concubine Yan to speak. He slapped the Second Prince in the face, pointed at his nose and cursed him, "Unfilial son!"

The Second Prince was stunned and looked furious. Concubine Yan's vision went dark and her heart was cold.

The emperor cursed angrily, gasping for breath, his fingers trembling, his face flushed, and his speech incoherent. It was obvious that the second prince was really mad at him.

It's no wonder. No matter how impulsive he is, he can't kill the doctor who is treating his father. It's not an exaggeration to say that "his heart is worthy of death"!

Even if the emperor believed that his son was really straightforward and impulsive and did not think much about it, he still could not accept it calmly and choose to forgive.

How can this be tolerated?

Seeing that the emperor was getting so angry from scolding people, Yu Xiaofang had no choice but to step forward to dissuade him, "Your Majesty, the dragon's health is more important."

"This bastard wants to kill me, and he's still talking about a dragon body!"

The second prince subconsciously glanced at Yu Xiaofang coldly and with full of hostility.

The emperor was so angry that his chest ached. He kicked him angrily and said, "Get out and kneel down! Get out!"

The second prince retreated with a sullen face.

Concubine Yan cried with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, it is my fault for not teaching him well. I didn't expect him to be so bold. Please punish me too, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at her, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable disgust in his heart. No matter what the truth was about his mother, he would not let it go.

He didn't want to say too much to her now. If she really did it, wouldn't all his gentle words of comfort become a joke?

"Back off!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Yan choked up and wiped her tears, then left with tears in her eyes, looking back every few steps.

Yu Xiaofang quickly helped the emperor sit down and took his pulse. "Your Majesty, please rest and don't get angry."

Yu Xiaofang felt a little uneasy deep down, after all, it was because of him. But he had no choice. Being targeted by the Second Prince, what else could he do except ask the Emperor for help?

Can you just stand there and wait for the Second Prince to kill you?

The emperor also understood this, so he didn't blame Yu Xiaofang. However, seeing that Zhou Hansheng was also a little unhappy, he glanced at him and snorted: "You left quickly, Zhou Hansheng, I underestimated you!"

Zhou Hansheng quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. It's not that I left quickly, but I have been feeling that the small boat might be in danger, so I have been secretly protecting it."
