Chapter 331 This Motherly Love is a Little Heavy
A look of confusion flashed across the third prince's swollen face.
He recognized these guards; they were the personal guards around his father.
Just obey my father.
Why are they arresting him now?
Shouldn’t we be going to capture the Ninth Prince and the others?
The leader said to the Third Prince, "We have offended His Majesty. The Emperor has ordered us to invite His Majesty into the palace."
A trace of ferocity flashed across the Third Prince's unrecognizable face.
"My father asked you to invite me into the palace, not to arrest me. And why don't you let your men release me immediately?"
He had lost face at the city gate, and now the whole of Kyoto probably knew that he was scared to the point of peeing his pants by the Ninth Prince.
Now even the dogs around my father have started to disrespect him.
This is because they heard the news that he had made a fool of himself and no longer took him, the prince, seriously.
Once he enters the palace, he will definitely sue him in front of his father and mother.
All the guards turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to the endless threats and curses shouted by the Third Prince.
The third prince was escorted into the palace in the correct manner.
Just halfway through the journey.
He happened to meet Concubine Hui who was hurrying to the study.
The moment the third prince saw his mother, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
He shouted in a slightly hoarse voice towards Concubine Hui: "Mother, Mother, save me! These mad dogs are disrespecting me!"
The guards who were escorting the third prince had a fierce look in their eyes.
Concubine Hui's heart was completely focused on Xie Yuheng, and she didn't pay any attention to the third prince and his entourage.
If the Third Prince hadn't called out, Concubine Hui would have already disappeared without a trace.
Hearing the Third Prince's shout, Concubine Hui suddenly stopped.
His face was full of anger.
He turned to her and walked towards the third prince aggressively.
It was this beast who replaced my Heng'er and caused the separation of mother and son.
Now he is even bullying my son.
At that moment, I couldn't help but feel the rage in my heart.
His face was as cold as if covered with ice.
The third prince felt very aggrieved as he looked at his mother walking towards him.
My mother must have been so angry because she saw that he was beaten and bruised and was being escorted by the guards.
In this world, only his mother truly cares about him.
The Third Prince threatened the guards who were holding him:
"Why don't you let go now? Do you want to wait for the Imperial Concubine to order the palace servants to chop off your dirty hands?"
The guards remained motionless.
The third prince was furious. These people not only did not take him seriously, but also...
Now he doesn't even care about his mother.
Seeing his mother approaching, he was about to open his mouth to complain when a slap landed hard on his painful and swollen cheek.
In order to go to the palace to file a complaint, he only went back home to change into clean clothes.
He did not let the imperial physician treat the wound on his face so that his father and mother could see his injured face.
The third prince looked at his mother in disbelief.
Didn’t my mother see that his face no longer resembled a human?
"mother……"
"Snap"
Before the third prince's mother could even shout, she was slapped hard in the face.
Then, the angry voice of Concubine Hui rang in my ears.
"This is what I told you. Your father just experienced life and death. I told you to stay here well!
Don't cause trouble again and make your father unhappy, and don't let those people find fault with you.
How did you do it? You've caused trouble again within a day. How could I have given birth to someone as brainless as you? "
The third prince felt extremely aggrieved when he heard his mother's lecture.
Choked with sobs:
"Mother, didn't you see the child's swollen face? Mother, do you know what happened? Why did you slap the child without saying anything?
My mother has been teaching me to keep a low profile recently. I have been following her teachings and cultivating my character at home.
It’s that little bastard from the Xie family…”
"Pa" Before the third prince could finish his words, a loud slap landed on his face again.
This slap was even louder than the previous two slaps.
This bastard actually dared to call my Heng'er a little beast. He really doesn't want to live anymore.
Damn it!
He was obviously so angry that he wanted to throw everything at it, but when he saw this bastard, he forced himself to hold back his anger.
She couldn't ruin the emperor's plan, nor could she alert the enemy.
Concubine Hui looked at the Third Prince with dismay and said through gritted teeth:
"Shut up, everything I taught you has been eaten by dogs.
I have warned you more than once that walls have ears, walls have ears!
In the palace, on this official road, you are afraid that others don’t know that you have a grudge with the Xie family, and you want to shout it out until everyone knows about it!
How could I, such a clever and intelligent person, have such a fool like you?"
The third prince looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
"Mother, I met Xie Yuheng, the Ninth Prince, and Prince Zhong at the city gate today.
The three of them teamed up to bully my son.
Mother, look at my swollen cheeks. It’s all because of the beating from the Ninth Prince.
Mother, please make the decision for me."
"Punish Xie Yuheng and the Ninth Prince on your behalf..."
"Shut up!" Concubine Hui shouted.
"You probably don't know yet, but the Ninth Prince, the Loyal Prince, and Xie...Yuheng entered the palace half an hour ago.
We are collectively suing you for taking advantage of your status to commit violence.
Did you know that your father was holding a meeting in the Lu Study Room at that time, and those present were all important officials of the court and Duke Xie.
Even if your father wanted to protect you, it would be useless. He is now waiting for you to come and question him in the study.
You brainless thing, you only remember to complain to me now, what were you doing before?
Do you know that I was caught off guard by this matter? If you don't handle it properly, you will never be able to hold that position in your life.
It will also cause me to lose the favor of His Majesty. You know better than me what the outcome will be."
The third prince was stunned.
He didn't expect that the Ninth Prince and others would go to the palace to file a complaint before him.
Are you kidding me!
They are the bad guys who are complaining first, but I am the one who is hurt!
"Mother, I am innocent. It was these three who targeted me, humiliated me, and even slapped me."
Concubine Hui snorted coldly, "Who would believe you?
Don't forget that one of them is the son of Duke Xie, and the other is a commander-in-chief with military power, and now he has been adopted as an adopted son by your father.
The other one is your father's full brother from the same mother.
The former God of War Prince, the Ninth Prince!
Do you think those ministers will believe you or will they side with them?"
The third prince felt anxious when he heard what his mother said.
Seeing this, Concubine Hui snorted coldly:
"Have you done anything against the rules? Have you ever abused your power to bully them? Have you ever been disrespectful to your Ninth Uncle?
Answer whatever I ask you, and don't hide anything from me! Only then can I find a way to deal with it."
Seeing his mother's serious expression, the Third Prince knew that the matter was serious and beyond his control.
Thinking of what he had done at the city gate and his rude words to the Ninth Prince, he said anxiously, "Mother... Mother, please help me, please help me!
Mother, I feel wronged. They deliberately provoked me, which is why I lost my mind and said things I shouldn't have done.
Say things that shouldn’t be said.”
Concubine Hui raised her hand and slapped the Third Prince in the face again.
"This slap in the face will teach you a lesson, you fool. You make mistakes when provoked by others. How can you expect your subordinates to obey you or others to submit to you and work for you?
"When you enter the study later, follow my instructions, okay? Do you understand? Just do whatever I tell you to do. Remember that?"
