Chapter 330: Pretending to cry and be miserable is extraordinary
"This is the first time in my life that I have suffered such a great humiliation."
Xie Yuheng remembered what Brother Chu had told him about how to act so as to better win the sympathy of the Emperor and his father.
He pinched his thigh cruelly. Anyway, he was kneeling now and no one could see his little movements in private.
Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, she raised her tearful and bloodshot face, and choked with sobs, she said:
"I was held captive like that, beaten like a dead dog in public."
"The guards under the Third Prince snatched the carrying poles from the hands of the passing people and beat me with the cane. Some people even made bets with me, betting on whether the Third Prince would dare to hit me."
"When the carrying pole fell on me, I wished I could dig a pit to bury myself right there and then."
"Your Majesty, please kill me. I am just the son of a useless minister as the Third Prince called him. He is the prince and I am a minister. I cannot bear it any longer if the Third Prince uses his status to bully me and make me lose face in front of the world."
"When I think of the scene at the city gate, I no longer want to live."
After saying this, two more lines of tears fell at just the right moment. The method Brother Chu suggested was really good.
He had already seen that the old emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
But I just don't know who I want to kill.
It shouldn't be me. I didn't say anything provocative to the Third Prince just now.
It should be the guard who wanted to kill and beat him.
Xie Yuheng subconsciously looked at Brother Chu, but Brother Chu didn't teach him what to do next.
Should he continue to kneel and cry, or stand up?
What should I do? My butt hurts.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.
Damn it, someone used a hidden weapon on his ass.
The Ninth Prince quietly withdrew his hand.
Xie Yuheng suddenly screamed.
"It hurts, Daddy, I'm in so much pain, please call a doctor for me..."
Xie Yuheng suddenly fell down, struggling to cover his injured butt with one hand.
The sticky touch made him lift his hand.
His nose felt sore, and he cried out to Lord Xie: "Daddy is bleeding, my child is bleeding, wuwu..."
Xie Yuheng raised his rosy hand, causing Duke Xie's eyes to tighten suddenly.
Even the old emperor sitting on the throne stood up from the dragon throne.
Just when Xie Yuheng shouted for the first time, "Dad, it hurts so much," the old emperor suddenly stood up, but stopped himself from rushing out.
Duke Xie hurriedly walked to Xie Yuheng's side and looked at this chattering brat with heartache.
Meeting his aggrieved eyes and pouting lips, Duke Xie felt a sudden pang of discomfort in his heart.
This is the child he raised since childhood.
Although he would beat him on weekdays, he never used any force, but just tried to scare him.
But now he was beaten like this, and in such a humiliating way.
This child has been arrogant since he was young. How can he bear being treated like this?
Duke Xie's eyes flashed.
He lifted up Xie Yuheng's robe and took off his bloodstained pants.
Xie Yuheng felt a chill on his buttocks and quickly covered it with his hands.
Old man, why are you taking off my pants for no reason?
He did it in public, how could he be so shameless? Even though they were all men, it also damaged his wisdom.
Duke Xie took a deep breath as he looked at Xie Yuheng's bloody buttocks that had been beaten to a pulp.
The old emperor and his ministers also took a deep breath.
The minister who was about to plead for the third prince shut up instantly.
Although it is true that the third prince is the emperor's most beloved prince.
But now he has beaten the third son of the Xie family into this state, there is no way to ask for mercy.
This is both harmful to the body and sad.
The old emperor stared at Xie Yuheng's stretched buttocks with burning eyes.
He ordered in a calm voice:
"Go and bring that beast to me."
Duke Xie knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for this old minister and my son."
In a short time, the news that Xie Yuheng was humiliated and beaten with a stick by the third prince at the city gate spread throughout the palace like wildfire.
Concubine Hui, who was looking at the portrait of the daughter of a noble family in the harem, heard the news.
The scroll in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
"What? What did you say? Heng...what happened to the Third Prince?"
She almost blurted out some worried words, but luckily she stopped herself in time.
The person who reported this said anxiously:
"The Ninth Prince and the Loyal Prince brought General Xie to sue the Third Prince for humiliating and beating him at the city gate.
The Emperor is furious and has sent people to arrest the Third Prince. Your Majesty, please go to the Lu Study and plead for the Third Prince as soon as possible."
Concubine Hui suddenly stood up and walked towards Lu's study anxiously.
Damn it.
How dare that bastard lay hands on Heng'er?
I can’t stand it anymore, I can’t stand it anymore.
Not only can she not recognize her own child, but she also has to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son to her bastard.
Whoever wants to defend this broken country can do so. It is not her turn as a woman to do so!
The palace maids of Yuhua Palace hurried to follow.
Everyone was sighing that the Imperial Concubine really cared about the Third Prince.
Upon hearing that something had happened to the Third Prince, he disregarded the palace taboos and headed straight for Lu's study.
The atmosphere in Lu's study was extremely weird.
The old emperor sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to summon the imperial physician.
General Xie's injured buttocks were still exposed.
Duke Xie knelt upright beside General Xie.
He must seek justice for his youngest son.
All the ministers felt insecure.
I was afraid of displeasing the emperor at this critical juncture.
The suppressed heartache in the old emperor's eyes was about to overflow.
This brat cried like this, he must have felt humiliated and in pain.
It was the first time for him, as a father, to see the little boy look so aggrieved.
Not to mention him, even Duke Xie had never seen Xie Yuheng like this before.
The old emperor took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart that had nowhere to vent.
He turned his gaze towards Shen Zhao and the Ninth Prince.
"Mu'er, come and tell me and the ministers what happened at the city gate!"
That beast still holds the title of my favorite prince.
If I only listen to Heng'er's one-sided story and punish that beast, I'm afraid people will be suspicious of me.
What I have to do now is to use other people's words to confirm the guilt of that beast.
Xie Yuheng snorted in his heart, old tyrant!
This means you don't believe what I say.
I'm here to ask Brother Chu a question. If you want to make excuses for his precious son, don't even think about it.
Shen Zhao listened to the voices of the father and son and stood up silently.
The tone was ordinary and without any emotion.
Impartial Way:
"Today, I, your humble servant, am returning to the city from the camp in the capital with the Ninth Prince and General Xie."
"I met the Third Prince at the city gate..."
Shen Zhao told everything that happened at the city gate, of course concealing some things that should not be said.
The old emperor's veins popped up when he heard this, what a beast!
How dare he!
All the ministers were stunned when they heard this. Was the Third Prince crazy or possessed by a demon?
It would be fine if the third son of the Xie family was humiliated in every possible way.
He also humiliated the emperor's newly adopted son and was extremely disrespectful to the Ninth Prince.
That’s the Ninth Prince.
How could we allow a young boy like him to be humiliated like this?
Every minister present was from the same era as the Ninth Prince.
They had witnessed the first half of the legendary Nine Kings' life.
Has an unusual feeling for the Ninth Prince.
The Third Prince, who was about to enter the palace to sue the Ninth Prince and Shen Zhao, was caught by the guards who came out of the palace to arrest him before he even stepped into the palace.
