The opera on the stage was singing softly, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince took their seats, and Emperor Jingxi also learned that the "Eighth Prince" had suffered from heatstroke.
In order to show his concern for his son as a father, he sent his most trusted eunuch Li Guangde to visit the "Eighth Prince".
Before Li Guangde left, Qu Zhaoyue stood up and said, "Father, I want to go see my brother too. When I think of my brother feeling unwell, I feel bad too."
Emperor Jingxi looked at him in surprise, thinking that the sun doesn't rise from the west, so why did Yue'er suddenly care about Xiao Ba?
The concubines, princes and princesses were also secretly observing Qu Zhaoyue.
Yan Cheng had been back in the palace for several months, and everyone in the palace knew that the Ninth Prince, who was at odds with the Seventh Prince, hated the Eighth Prince because of his feud with the Seventh Prince. He also disliked the Eighth Prince because he had the same face as the Seventh Prince.
Why did the Ninth Prince suddenly become concerned about the Eighth Prince today?
Is there any conspiracy?
Everyone in the palace, who knew that palace fighting was dangerous, thought that the Ninth Prince was so active in visiting the Eighth Prince that he might be setting a trap for the Eighth Prince.
Looking again, the Seventh Prince had disappeared, and everyone was even more certain that the Ninth Prince was going to cause trouble.
Chu Xiuyi glanced at Yang Guifei, who was sitting there steadily and dignifiedly and virtuously, and curled her lips.
I thought to myself that it was Yang Guifei who had bewitched His Majesty to the point of being infatuated with him, and the child she raised was also full of evil intentions.
However, beneath the calm surface of Yang Guifei, who seemed to be drinking calmly, was a scream of collapse.
Yue'er, what are you doing? Your character is ruined!
Isn't it too obvious that he has evil intentions?
If something happens to Qu Zhaoheng or Qu Zhaoyun, you will definitely be the first person to be suspected.
Yang Guifei pinched the wine glass with her slender white fingers and tried to cover her face. The child was too stupid and had no face to see anyone.
This was the first time she suspected that there was something wrong with her parenting style.
Concubine Yun Shu glanced at Yang Guifei's little action, which she thought no one noticed, and did not hide her sneer.
They even deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"Yang Guifei, your son is really smart. He is much better than Xiaoqi and Xiaoba."
Seeing the ridiculous expression of Yang Guifei glaring at her with hatred, Concubine Yun Shu felt a little bit of favor towards Yan Cheng at this moment.
She hated the women in the harem, especially Yang Guifei, who had won the hearts of many men and now gave birth to a son who competed with her son for things.
Anyone who can make Yang Guifei lose face can win her favor.
"I also want to go see how Xiao Ba is doing. I don't want anyone bullying my child when I'm not around."
"If I knew who bullied Xiao Ba, haha, I don't think that person would want to know what methods I have."
Concubine Yun Shu spoke harshly, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and she looked at Concubine Yang Guifei, whose face darkened a little, with deep meaning.
Of course, she was not standing up for Yan Cheng, she just simply wanted to see Yang Guifei suffer humiliation.
Concubine Yun Shu was the first to say that she wanted to go and see her son who had suffered from heatstroke. Some concubines who liked to watch the fun also said one after another that they wanted to go and care for the Eighth Prince.
The Ninth Prince did not notice his mother's anxiety and irritability. He thought that the more people went, the more embarrassed Qu Zhaoheng would be, so he did not try to stop them.
Finally, a group of people marched towards the side hall. However, after searching all the rooms in the side hall, they found someone who had suffered from heatstroke, but it was not the eighth prince.
The Seventh Prince, who had said he would come to see the Eighth Prince, was not here either.
Li Guangde, who was entrusted with an important task by Emperor Jingxi, was paralyzed.
What about the eighth prince who suffered from heatstroke?
The person is missing, what is he looking at? The air? Go back and tell the emperor that the air in the side hall is fragrant?
And why is the door still hanging there in such a shattered state?
Where did all those palace people go to slack off? Why didn't they change the door?
The Ninth Prince was also confused. Didn’t he arrange people to come here? Where are they?
Yang Guifei did not come because she felt embarrassed. The person with the highest status at the scene was Concubine Yun Shufei, who pretended to be surprised insincerely when she saw this.
"Oh my, didn't they say Xiaoba had a heat stroke and was resting here, and Xiaoqi came to see him? Why are both of them not here?"
His tone couldn't hide his gloating, and he felt a little more favorable towards Yan Cheng.
Not everyone can plot against her child.
After Concubine Yun Shu finished speaking, the atmosphere became silent and awkward, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, everyone heard the voice of the third prince coming from behind.
"Eighth brother? Didn't you get heatstroke? Why are you still walking around in the sun?"
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and a stunning young man's face came into view, followed by a sky-blue color.
Today, the Seventh Prince wore a light purple dress, while the Eighth Prince wore a sky blue dress.
The boy's smile was as gentle as ever. He tilted his head, and great doubt filled his pupils.
"Third brother, what are you talking about? I didn't have a heat stroke! I was feeling unwell and wanted to go back to the North Second Institute, but I realized I was better halfway through, so I came back."
"Um?"
The young man looked past the Third Prince and looked curiously at Concubine Yun Shu, who had a slightly odd expression on her face. "Why is Mother here too?"
Concubine Yun Shu looked him up and down, as his expression changed drastically in a short period of time, and took a few more glances at the sky-blue clothes he was wearing.
Her voice was calm, just like how she usually treated her youngest son.
"Someone said you had a heat stroke. I'm your mother, so I have to come and see you anyway."
"Who said I had heatstroke? I'm fine, right?"
"It was a eunuch who told my seventh brother that you had a heat stroke. Now that I think about it, that eunuch looked very unfamiliar. I've never seen him around my seventh and eighth brothers."
The third prince realized something was wrong later and looked up suddenly with dilated pupils, his eyes full of tension and worry.
He grabbed the boy's shoulders and said anxiously, "Seventh brother has been taken away by that eunuch, go find him quickly..."
