Chapter 248 Like a Charger
Who did Xiao Chuji plan to send? Why did he send someone?
A trace of deep thought flashed across Xiao Lingyu's eyes, and he asked, "Has the emperor seen her?"
If he hadn't seen her, he would just treat her as a palace maid, and if he favored her, then so be it. If he had seen her...
The fourth prince's voice trembled slightly: "I have seen her once..."
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's sudden change of expression, the fourth prince trembled and added: "But the emperor didn't seem to like her, and didn't give her a title, nor did he favor her. He hasn't seen her for a few days, as if he has forgotten her..."
His voice of rebuttal became lower and lower under Xiao Lingyu's death gaze.
"Why don't you ever consider the consequences of what you do? If it wasn't me you heard today, have you ever thought about what would happen to you?"
The Fourth Prince's face changed slightly.
He is a prince, with the blood of the emperor flowing in his bones. Although his father will not kill him, it will certainly not be as simple as the last time he was confined to the palace.
Moreover...
he sneaked into the underground palace. If he was punished for several crimes, his father would not be able to appease the emperor's anger unless he beat him half to death.
The Fourth Prince shuddered suddenly.
Xiao Lingyu did not remember that the emperor had not allowed him to enter the palace. Xiao Lingyu still had some brotherly feelings for this lustful brother because of their childhood friendship.
Seeing that his face was pale with fear and his lips were blue and purple due to the excessive cold, Xiao Lingyu sighed and said, "Alright, hurry back to the mansion before anyone notices. I won't tell my father."
The two of them relaxed visibly as if they had been pardoned.
"Royal brother, thank you, thank you."
The fourth prince grabbed his sleeve, his eyes excited.
Xiao Lingyu's eyelids drooped slightly: "Alright, let's go."
The fourth prince let go, turned around and ran a few steps, and then froze.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Lingyu's eyes. He took a few steps forward. After seeing the figure in front of him, Xiao Lingyu suddenly froze there, his eyes panicked, and he was completely different from before.
Jiang Zhiyu stood beside the emperor, followed by Fuping and Chaoen.
A lot of snow had accumulated on his cloak, and one could imagine how long he had been watching.
Xiao Lingyu's head buzzed, and he knelt straight down in the snow. Hearing the sound, the fourth prince also imitated him and knelt down hurriedly.
"Father, father."
[Good guy, this is not a second goal. ]
[It's like a charger, not idle all day. ]
Emperor: "..."
What is a charger?
He took a deep breath and looked at his two sons kneeling on the ground with cold eyes: "What a deep brotherly love, both of you, get out of here!"
Xiao Lingyu and the fourth prince stood up, hurriedly walked a few steps, and knelt in front of him again.
The woman knelt behind them.
"I remember that I didn't allow you to enter the harem before, how did you get in?"
The emperor's tone was as cold as frost, and people's backs were cold when they heard it.
The fourth prince, who was named, trembled in his voice: "Drilling, drilling a dog hole."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fourth prince shuddered and said, "And, he bribed the guards."
The emperor took a deep breath, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He kicked the fourth prince on the shoulder, kicking the fourth prince backward and falling into the snow.
He said in a loud voice: "Evil creature, there are so many women outside, why do you have to have an affair in this harem!"
The fourth prince hurriedly climbed up and knelt at the feet of the emperor, not daring to say a word.
[Of course he felt that the harem was exciting. He liked to be in the public, afraid of being discovered, but couldn't help wanting to be exposed in front of people. ]
[He was tired of playing outside, so naturally he could only be in the harem. 】
Emperor: “…”
Xiao Lingyu: “…”
Xiao Lingyu’s eyes changed when he looked at the Fourth Prince.
The Emperor took another deep breath.
“Tell me the truth, how many people have you had an affair with in the harem?”
The Fourth Prince hesitated, and the Emperor said coldly: “I don’t want to hear another lie. I am still in my prime, and there will only be more and more princes…”
Hearing the emperor’s implication, the Fourth Prince no longer dared to hesitate: “Reply, reply to father, five, five or six.”
The Emperor turned his head to look at Jiang Zhiyu on the side.
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
【What are you looking at me for. 】
【But he didn’t lie, five, five, six, a total of sixteen, no problem. 】
Emperor: “…”
Okay, okay, you’re playing word games with him, right?
The Emperor sneered and kicked him again.
He did not hold back his power with both of his feet, and kicked the Fourth Prince's shoulder close to his heart. The Fourth Prince was so frightened that he coughed a few times and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
The red blood looked particularly eye-catching on the white snow.
The rest of the people were shocked. The Emperor's brows furrowed deeper as he looked at the blood.
"Father," Xiao Lingyu was the first to plead, "Although my brother did something wrong, he is your biological son after all. I am afraid that my brother has hurt his heart. It would be better to let the imperial physician treat my brother first, and then it would not be too late for you to make other arrangements." The
Emperor hesitated, and Jiang Zhiyu saw that he was a little shaken, so he squatted down first to feel the Fourth Prince's pulse.
Xiao Lingyu subconsciously looked at the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor did not stop him, he quickly retracted his gaze.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince did not suffer any heart damage due to the cold entering his body and the fear. However, if he continues to stay in the snow, his life may be in danger. Why don't you go back to the palace and ask him in detail?"
[Frozen to death! ]
[Why do you have to stand in the snow to ask questions? Aren't you cold? ]
The emperor exhaled lightly and strode forward: "Return to the palace."
Fuping and Chaoen followed the emperor, holding the Fourth Prince on the left and right.
Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Zhiyu walked side by side, with the woman following behind.
"In a while, we will have to rely on Jiang Shidu, the Imperial Brother's body is not in good condition, and he can't stand what our father is doing."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the Fourth Prince's back with worry, like a good brother who was worried about his younger brother.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is joking. His Majesty is angry now, and I can't do anything about it," Jiang Zhiyu chuckled, "Your Majesty has always valued Your Highness the Crown Prince. If Your Highness the Crown Prince speaks, His Majesty will surely listen more."
[Didn't you see that the Emperor was shaken when you pleaded just now? ]
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Was it because of my plea? That may not be the case.
The Emperor, who was walking in the front, suppressed his anger, his eyes were cold.
If he hadn't thought about what Zhiyu said before that Sizi only lusted after beauty and had no other thoughts, he would have really wanted to kick him to death!
He remembered that woman, she was the one Xiao Chuji wanted to give to him, but he hadn't thought about it recently, so he put her into the palace first, but he never thought that his own son would get there first!
He's not even old yet, and he's already started competing with him for women, what about the future?
The more he thought about it, the colder his eyes became.
