Chapter 367 Giving Birth with Mouth

In order to avoid hurting Ning Wanshuang, Zhao Hua quickly changed the subject.

She saw a large red coral in the inner chamber and said:

"This big red coral is really beautiful. I remember it was a birthday gift that Zhu Yin gave to the emperor several years ago, right?"

Ning Wanshuang glanced at it with disdain and said coldly, "He said he likes red, so he sent it to me. But I don't even look down on anything from Zhuyin's place."

He sneered and raised his eyebrows as he asked Zhao Hua, "Do you still remember the time when Daddy led the army to attack Zhuyin? The Qi army entered the country and defeated Zhuyin in just a month, but they would rather die than surrender. In the end, Daddy humiliated the old emperor in the street and forced them to submit to Da Qi. For such a defeated general, the things they sent, no matter how precious they were, would not be presentable."

Even now, Ning Wanshuang still feels proud when she mentions her father and brother.

Zhao Hua listened quietly, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Zhuyin...Sister, do you still remember Prince Qi? He was in charge of conquering Zhuyin in the past, but the battle lasted for three years, and they still failed to conquer Zhuyin. Later, General Ning led the troops to conquer Zhuyin at lightning speed."

Ning Wanshuang didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhao Hua's words, and just nodded slightly complacently.

"Of course. Looking at the entire Qi Dynasty, who can be as brave as Daddy?"

It is true that General Ning is well versed in military tactics and is brave and good at fighting. However, it is hard to understand why Prince Qi, with an army that is comparable to that of General Ning, failed to conquer a small border country after three years of expedition to Zhuyin.

Moreover, because of this incident, Xiao Jingheng reprimanded Prince Qi and took back all the military power in his hands.

Now that Prince Qi stays in Kyoto and holds no real power, he is no different from an idle and carefree prince.

And that Chun Lan...

She has a clean background, but why would someone see her in Prince Qi's mansion? How could a maid of humble origin have any connection with Prince Qi?

Moreover, Chunlan had only served Concubine Hui for a few months, so how could she be so loyal to her?

These deeds are like threads pulled out of a tangled hemp, intertwined and tangled together.

Zhao Hua vaguely felt that there might be some intricate connection between Prince Qi, Zhu Yin and Concubine Hui.

But she couldn't figure out what this connection was.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ning Wanshuang's call interrupted Zhaohua's thoughts. She came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head.

"nothing."

"Since there's nothing else, why don't you come with me to the small kitchen to prepare lunch?" Ning Wanshuang couldn't help but smile. "I knew Ruoxin would be coming today, so I asked someone to prepare her favorite dishes early in the morning."

Zhao Hua also agreed with a smile, and put aside the things that he couldn't figure out for the time being, and went to the small kitchen with Ning Wanshuang to get busy.

About half an hour later, Zhao Huafang put the kneaded shrimp dumplings into the steamer, and suddenly heard a noise coming from the courtyard.

She and Ning Wanshuang looked up and saw that the children had returned, so they quickly washed their hands and went out to greet them.

But when we met, I saw that Ruoxin's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

Before Zhao Hua could ask her what was wrong, she ran to Ning Wanshuang, hugged her legs tightly, and cried sadly.

"Mother, wuwuwu..."

Ning Wanshuang felt heartbroken seeing the child like this, but she still subconsciously glanced at Zhao Hua first.

Then he put his hand on Ruoxin's small shoulder, obviously wanting to put the child into Zhaohua's arms.

But Zhaohua didn't care about these. She patted the back of Ning Wanshuang's hand to stop her.

Then he squatted beside Ruoxin, stroked her hair, and asked carefully:

"What's wrong, Ruoxin?"

Ruoxin wiped her tears aggrievedly and looked at Zhaohua with a pout, "Wuwuwu, mother, it hurts..."

When she raised her tender little white hand to wipe her tears, Zhao Hua immediately saw the burn on the back of her hand.

The red spots were connected together, and in severe cases, blisters even formed.

Zhaohua was heartbroken. She gently grasped Ruoxin's wrist and blew on the wound.

Yunshan stood aside with her head down, blaming herself very much, "Madam, it is my fault that I failed to protect the young master..."

Ning Wanshuang was annoyed at first, "What's going on?"

Yunshan held back tears and said, "When the young masters went to visit the Third Prince, they happened to see Concubine Hui feeding him medicine. The Third Prince refused to take the medicine and got angry. He even overturned the small stove that was simmering the medicine bowl. The broken charcoal spilled out and burned the young masters..."

Ning Wanshuang asked anxiously, "Why don't you go and get the imperial physician?"

Yunshan said: "Xiao Fuzi has gone."

Ruoxin's crying was very weak, but when it fell into Zhaohua's ears, it was like a needle prick, and his heart ached.

Although the area of ​​the child's burns was not large and not serious, the stinging pain from the blisters was unbearable even for an adult, let alone a three-year-old child?

There was half heartache and half hatred in Zhaohua's eyes.

At this moment, Jin Yue also ran to Ning Wanshuang, held her hand and said:

"Mother, I will never visit my third brother again. He is so mean. When he saw Sister Ruoxin crying after being scalded, he said that she deserved it..."

Hearing this, Ning Wanshuang's temper could no longer be tolerated.

She said nothing, and left Yonghe Palace at a brisk pace.

Anyone could see that she was going to cause trouble for Concubine Hui.

Zhaohua was afraid that she would get impulsive and cause trouble, so he quickly told Yunshan to take good care of Ruoxin and followed her.

As the two entered Zhaochun Palace, they saw Concubine Hui coming out from the inner chamber.

She looked guilty and said hurriedly:

"I was just about to go to my sister's palace to apologize. Cheng Jing is really too ignorant. I have just reprimanded him, and he also knows that he..."

"You don't know how to teach your son, so I will teach you how to teach your son!"

Ning Wanshuang ignored what Concubine Hui said and raised her hand to hit her.

Concubine Hui suddenly said, "Your Highness, please think twice. In the past, no matter how you wanted to beat me, I could bear it. But now, you can't beat me."

She took a step back, protecting her belly with her left hand, and whispered, "Because I am almost full-term pregnant."

After hearing this, Zhao Hua's brows slightly furrowed, and he was even more puzzled.

It was obvious that Xiao Jingheng didn't like Concubine Hui and only used her as a chess piece. Moreover, Concubine Hui was already old and was about to turn 30. How could she still get pregnant so frequently?

'Pop'

Zhao Hua was wondering when he suddenly heard a crisp sound.

Fang saw that Ning Wanshuang's slap had already landed firmly on Concubine Hui's cheek.

Concubine Hui's mouth was slapped and blood came out. She covered her red cheek and stared at Ning Wanshuang with wide eyes.

"Your Highness, you..."

'Pop'

Without giving her a chance to reply, Ning Wanshuang slapped her again with a loud slap.

She glared at Concubine Hui and sneered:

"So what if you are pregnant? Are you going to give birth to a child with your mouth in the future? Could it be that Cheng Jing was spit out by you, so you can't teach him well? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth?"
