Chapter 333: That’s a good idea, don’t think about it next time
"This unfilial son requests to see the Emperor. I hope the Emperor will calm down and summon this son..."
His mother told him to correct his attitude and lower his posture.
He's been humble enough.
"Announce the Third Prince to an audience."
The old emperor's voice was terribly low.
Everyone could hear the anger in His Majesty's words.
Anyone would be angry.
His most beloved child suddenly offended his most valued courtiers and younger brother.
How can I not be angry!
All the ministers' eyes were focused on the door.
The door of Lu's study was pushed open from the outside.
The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a face that was bruised and purple and swollen like a pig's head.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, it was undoubtedly the third prince.
Who slapped the Third Prince in the face?
As soon as the third prince came in, he saw Xie Yuheng lying in the center with his naked buttocks exposed.
This guy is really cunning.
He had the nerve to reveal such a shameful and hidden place and sue him.
Looking at Xie Yuheng's bloody butt, this bastard must have faked the wound.
His guards only hit him with a carrying pole, which would definitely not cause such serious injuries.
The third prince immediately knelt down beside Xie Yuheng, looking up at his face which had been beaten beyond recognition and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
I apologized to the emperor again:
"I am an unfilial son and have caused Your Majesty to suffer with me. I have come to the palace to apologize for my sins. I ask Your Majesty to punish me for my disrespect to the Ninth Prince."
He originally came to file a complaint.
But these three shameless guys got there first.
All he could do now was to plead guilty.
There are different ways to apologize.
He would not admit that he was wrong to beat Xie Yuheng with a stick.
He is a prince and Xie Yuheng is a minister. He would not be at fault even if he beat him to death!
Since ancient times, if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die!
"How did you get this injury on your face?"
As soon as the old emperor opened his mouth, the third prince burst into tears.
It has to be my father.
The first thing I saw was his injured face, and the first thing I said was not to blame him but to show concern for him.
The old emperor stared at the third prince's face with deep eyes. Could the wound on his face have been caused by Heng'er?
If that's the case, I'll have to find another excuse to punish this beast.
Heng'er is worthy of being my child. He will never suffer any loss. Well done!
The Third Prince had no idea what the old emperor was thinking. The grievances in his heart had already burst out a moment ago, and he sobbed to the emperor:
"It was the Ninth Prince who beat him."
The old emperor frowned when he heard this. It wasn't Heng'er who beat him.
The Third Prince was still there, self-deprecatingly saying:
"This is all my fault. I was angered by General Xie's words. The Ninth Prince scolded me in public for General Xie, and I was so angry that I said some disrespectful things to him.
Ninth Prince was right in teaching me this lesson. I do not blame you for slapping me. I have come to the palace now to apologize to you."
After saying this, the Third Prince turned around and bowed to the Ninth Prince as a junior, and said sincerely:
"It's all my fault. I hope Uncle Nine will forgive me for the punishment I've already given and my sincere apology."
The third prince said this on purpose, as his crime was not in vain.
The Ninth Prince helped an outsider instead of him, and he wanted to see how the Ninth Prince would explain it to his father.
The old emperor looked at the Ninth Prince in surprise.
Could it be that Xiaojiu also knew that Heng'er was his and Concubine Hui's real child?
That's why he protected Heng'er and slapped that beast.
As expected, it was Xiaojiu. He even knew such a secret thing that he had concealed. What else could Xiaojiu not know?
Shen Zhao listened to the old emperor’s thoughts and thought about it very well, so he would not think about it next time.
Your ninth brother simply can't stand the third prince's stupidity and is afraid that he will bring shame to the Li royal family.
The Ninth Prince looked at the Third Prince with disdain.
This idiot is still thinking of plotting against me. Where does he get the confidence from?
You still want to force me to forgive him? That's simply wishful thinking!
The Ninth Prince was about to retort.
Suddenly, a loud slap was heard in the quiet study.
This was followed by the voice of Concubine Hui expressing her anger at her lack of fighting spirit.
"This is how I taught you to apologize to your Ninth Uncle!"
"In front of your father and all the ministers, put away your little tricks that everyone knows about and apologize to your Ninth Uncle. If you dare to play tricks again, I will never forgive you!"
The slap from Concubine Hui caught everyone off guard.
The force was so great that the Third Prince's body was knocked to the side.
The moment he raised his head, everyone saw the third prince spit out a tooth from his mouth.
Everyone looked at Concubine Hui in astonishment.
I didn't expect that the weak Concubine Hui could have such great strength.
He directly knocked out one of the Third Prince's teeth!
Concubine Hui turned to look at the emperor and apologized:
"It's all my fault. I haven't taught the prince well. Your Majesty, please punish me.
I am willing to atone for the emperor's sins..."
She couldn't help but slap that bastard just now. If she didn't show it, everyone would notice it.
Even this bastard should be suspicious of her.
The ministers suddenly realized that the imperial concubine was playing a trick on the emperor and the ninth prince in front of them.
The purpose was to rescue the third prince and plead for him.
When the third prince spat out the broken tooth, he also had doubts in his heart. His mother's attitude today was very abnormal.
He almost thought that he was not his mother's biological son.
Now that his mother was crying like this, he wished he could slap himself a few times.
How could he doubt his mother's good intentions?
Mother beat him for his own good.
The old emperor's face showed an unconcealable heartache.
Everyone thought that the emperor was pleading for the third prince out of concern for Concubine Hui.
Only Chen Zhao knew that the emperor was worried that Concubine Hui could not recognize Xie Yuheng and his son.
Only the emperor and Shen Zhao knew why Concubine Hui was crying.
She cried because she couldn't recognize her son, she cried because she couldn't vent her anger for her son, and she couldn't care for her injured child like a normal mother.
Concubine Hui cried so hard that her heart was broken and she couldn't stop.
It was as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
She knew it was inappropriate for her to cry like that in front of so many people.
But when she saw Heng'er's bloody butt, she felt extremely guilty and distressed.
She couldn't help crying out loud.
This is the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.
At this time, the atmosphere in Lu's study seemed extremely heavy.
The third prince's eyes also turned red when he saw his mother crying so sadly.
He crawled on his knees towards Concubine Hui.
He wanted to reach out to help his mother, but just opened his mouth.
"Mother, I know I was wrong..."
With a "pa" sound, Concubine Hui slammed down the hand that the third prince extended.
The back of the third prince's fair hand instantly turned red.
"Who allowed you to get up? Kneel down before me and make amends and apologize. You cannot get up until any one of the Ninth Prince, the Loyal Prince, or General Xie forgives you."
The Third Prince shouted in disbelief, "Mother..."
He could apologize to the Ninth Prince, but he could never bow to Chu Mu and Xie Yuheng.
They don't deserve it!
"What? Don't you even listen to what I say?
Okay, okay, in that case, I won’t care anymore.
Your Majesty, do not worry about how to deal with me. Just follow the laws of Southern Chu!"
