Chapter 92 I will kill that damn girl then

The attendant looked worried: "Your Highness, there have been so many major incidents in the palace recently. Why don't we put it aside and wait until the storm has passed?"

The hangover made his head ache. The Seventh Prince pounded his fist and hit his head. His face was extremely ugly. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Go, prepare the car, I want to go to the Second Prince's Mansion."

The Seventh Prince did not even change his clothes and rode in a carriage straight to the Second Prince's residence.

The Second Prince saw that the Seventh Prince was drunk, his clothes were wrinkled, and he looked haggard. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked someone to fetch water and a towel, so that the Seventh Prince could wash his face. Then he patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Seventh Prince, I'm sorry. You must take care of yourself."

The Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. I'm fine."

After the tea was served, the Second Prince sent the servants away and asked, "Why are you not staying at home to rest today? Why are you coming to see me at this time? Is there something urgent?"

The Seventh Prince got straight to the point, "Second Brother, Concubine Ru's parents have come to the capital."

"I know. I am in the palace right now." The second prince answered, and then asked, "What do you want to do?"

The Seventh Prince's eyes were sinister: "Since they killed my two mothers, I will not let them off easily. I must make them feel the pain of losing their parents."

The second prince put down the teacup in his hand and advised earnestly: "Seventh Prince, I know you are sad, but you also know that with Tong Tong here, we are constrained in every way. At this moment, don't act rashly."

Hearing the disapproval in the Second Prince's words, the Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "That Tong Tong only knew the things that were in the original plot. Now that so many things have been exposed, the original plot has long been changed."

"No matter what we do in the future, Tong Tong probably won't know about it, so don't worry, Second Brother."

The second prince also knew this, but still felt it was inappropriate: "Seventh brother, listen to my second brother's advice. Revenge is a long time in the future, so we should take a long-term view."

The Seventh Prince disagreed: "Second brother, for so many years, I have suppressed my mother's vengeance and never avenged it, just to take a long-term view, but look, I have endured for so many years, and what have I gained? Now, I don't want to wait any longer, and I can't wait any longer."

Looking at the almost crazy eyes of the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince frowned deeply, "Seventh Prince, don't be impulsive. When your great cause is accomplished in the future, you will be able to do whatever you want."

The Seventh Prince was so engulfed in hatred that he could not hear anything. "Second brother, I came here today to borrow some help from you, but I thought about it and decided that this was inappropriate. I'd better do it myself. If it works, that's great. If it doesn't, we each take the consequences. I will never implicate you, second brother."

Having said that, he stood up and walked out.

The second prince stood up and said, "Seventh brother, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that the timing is not right now, don't be angry."

The Seventh Prince bowed and spoke in a slightly more gentle tone, "Second brother, I am not being mad, but as a son, I must avenge my mother's murder."

"Don't worry, second brother. I won't do anything else. I will just kill those two old things, even if I kill one of them. Then Xiaojiu will definitely accompany Concubine Ru out of the palace to pay her respects. By then, I can kill that damn girl and help second brother get rid of this big trouble, so that he won't always be so timid."

Seeing him so stubborn, the second prince frowned and said with a little impatience: "Father and the Queen are very strict with Xiaojiu now. Even if you kill the Xu family and lure Xiaojiu out of the palace, if you want to do something to her, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Listen to my second brother, let's talk about it after this period of time, don't make trouble."

This word "offending" made the Seventh Prince feel dissatisfied, and his face turned cold: "Second brother, I am not offending, I just want to avenge my mother and concubines."

There was no point in talking if there was no agreement. The Seventh Prince did not get any recognition from the Second Prince, so he said nothing more. He bowed, turned around with a sullen face, and walked out.

Looking at the hurried back, the Second Prince reached out and pressed his throbbing eyebrows, rubbing them vigorously, then called his personal attendant in and ordered, "Keep an eye on the Seventh Prince."

The attendant heard the displeasure in his master's tone and asked, "If the Seventh Prince does something inappropriate, should we stop him?"

The second prince thought about it and shook his head: "Don't worry about it, just let him be."

If what Lao Qi said could come true, it would be a great thing for him.

The attendant responded by bowing and preparing to leave.

The second prince ordered again: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him bring this matter to our house."

---

In Miaoyunxuan, Concubine Ru was chatting with her parents about family matters. She couldn't wait to ask her parents all sorts of questions and inquired about everything about the people and things in the family.

Hearing that everything was fine at home and that her brother and sister-in-law had two new nephews, she was very happy and kept saying good things.

Afterwards, under the questioning of Xu's father and mother, she told them all the important and happy things that happened in the palace over the years.

Father Xu and Mother Xu were deeply moved by what they heard. Father Xu was beaming with pride and said half-jokingly, "I never thought that my daughter, who has a quail-like temperament, could thrive in the harem and even be promoted to concubine. This really makes me look at her with new eyes."

Mother Xu glared at him and said angrily, "It's not easy for women in the harem, let alone in this harem. I don't know how much suffering my son has gone through to get to this point today. Don't say such cold words, old man."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Xu's mother saw that her daughter was smiling and seemed to be happy, but she knew that was not the case.

She walked all the way from Fengyi Palace and found that the courtyard where her daughter lived was the most remote and small. Its name was just "Xuan", not even a palace. Moreover, she heard that her daughter was only recently crowned as a concubine. It can be seen that her daughter was not favored before.

Listening to what Xu's mother said, Ru Fei felt a lump in her throat and almost shed tears.

The difficulties of the past few years were originally in the past. But now that her mother's words were right, she felt a lot of grievances for no reason. If she hadn't considered the two children present and didn't want to lose face as a mother, she would have thrown herself into Xu's mother's arms and cried.

As an official, how could Xu's father not think of what Xu's mother could think of? However, since he saw that his daughter only talked about happy things in order to reassure them, he didn't want to expose the truth.

But now that his wife had exposed him, he could no longer pretend. He sighed softly and remained silent.

Ji Jinyou sat in Xu's mother's arms, while the seventeenth prince was held by Xu's father. The two children had been listening quietly to what their elders were saying. Now they saw the atmosphere suddenly become gloomy and depressing. Their grandmother and mother's eyes were red. The brother and sister looked at each other and nodded.

Ji Jinyou nudged in Xu's mother's arms: "Grandma, Grandma."

The little girl was almost curled into a ball. Mother Xu found it funny and picked her up and patted her: "Hello, grandma is here."

Ji Jinyou hugged Xu's mother's neck: "Grandma, Youyou has a gift for you and grandpa."

Then she pointed at the Seventeenth Prince with her little hand and said, "Brother has a gift too."

Seventeen nodded shyly.

Upon hearing Youyou's words, Xu's mother slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, look at me, I'm so old and confused that I even forgot to give the children gifts when they met."

After saying that, he glared at Xu's father again: "Grandpa, you didn't even remember to remind me."

Father Xu also laughed: "Who said it wasn't true? You actually bothered to talk about it."

Mother Xu quickly called in her personal maid and asked her to take out the gift that had been prepared long ago. However, because she did not know about Seventeen's incident in advance, she only prepared one gift.

Fortunately, I had thought that this was the first time I met my granddaughter, so I packed all the good things for her. Now, even if I divide it into two parts, with each child getting half, it doesn't look shabby at all.

There was a heavy box in front of Ji Jinyou and Shiqi respectively. They both raised their heads and looked at Ru Fei with their big black eyes.

Concubine Ru couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you thank your grandfather and grandmother?"

Both children smiled and bowed to thank Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

Although Shiqi was a little too shy, he was steady and polite despite his young age. Father Xu was delighted and thought that this child was a promising talent. He helped the little boy up, patted his shoulder, and said, "Good boy."

Looking at the chubby little dumpling, he saluted in a crooked manner, which was really adorable. Mother Xu couldn't help laughing and she picked him up and gave him a big kiss.

After receiving the gifts from their grandparents, the brother and sister held hands and ran back to the room to take out the gifts they had prepared the day before.

Ji Jinyou came out with two small boxes in his arms, put them on the couch, and pointed at the two boxes in Seventeen's hands with his little finger: "Brother, you go first."

Originally, the brother and sister had agreed yesterday that Xiaojiu would go first, but they didn't expect her to change her mind suddenly. Seventeen was a little nervous, but seeing that his grandparents and his mother were all looking at him with a smile, he didn't want to ask Xiaojiu to let her go first.

The little boy took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and walked forward with the box in his arms: "Grandpa, this is a set of four treasures of the study, for you."

Father Xu took it with a smile, opened it and looked at it, and was very happy: "Good boy, you are thoughtful. This is a rare set of fine items. Grandfather likes it."

After receiving the compliment, Seventeen's face was flushed with joy. She handed another brocade box to Xu's mother and said in a much louder voice: "Grandma, this is for you."

"Good boy." Xu's mother took it and opened it to take a look. She saw that the box was filled with valuable jewelry. She looked at the handsome and well-behaved little boy in front of her, and was shocked and moved. She was speechless for a long time.

Seventeen asked anxiously, "Grandma, don't you like it?"

Seeing Concubine Ru nodded secretly to her, Xu's mother put the box aside and took the little boy into her arms: "Grandma likes it, she likes it very much."

Seventeen smiled happily.

After giving away the seventeen pearls, Ji Jinyou first handed the two night-shining pearls to Xu's mother, and presented them in a baby voice: "Grandma, these are night-shining pearls, they are very bright at night."

Mother Xu hugged the little girl and kissed her, smiling from ear to ear: "Okay, then grandma will accept it."

Ji Jinyou chuckled and handed another box to Father Xu: "This is for Grandpa."

Father Xu happily opened it and laughed out loud: "Is this the chess piece that Youyou got from His Majesty?"

Unexpectedly, his father actually told this to his grandfather. Ji Jinyou felt embarrassed, pinched his chubby little hands, and chuckled.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Concubine Ru started to prepare the meal. Soon, the palace servants brought out a table of dishes from the small kitchen where they had been busy all morning. Before anyone could start eating, the kitchen sent over a few more dishes, saying that they were ordered by the Empress. Now the table was completely full.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat at the table and had a lively meal.

After dinner, Ji Jinyou sat on the couch, his head nodding and he began to feel sleepy.

Seeing this, Seventeen picked up his sister and said, "Mother, I'm going to take my sister to take a nap."

Ru Fei reached out and touched the little boy's head, and said softly, "Go."

Xu's mother was worried, so she got up and followed the boy into the room to take a look. She saw the little boy put the little girl on the bed, gave her her own little pillow, and covered her belly with a thin quilt. Then he sat beside her, fanning the little girl with one hand and gently patting her round belly with the other hand. He performed the movements very skillfully and fluently.

Mother Xu was secretly surprised, and quietly walked out, whispering to Concubine Ru: "Tinghe, Seventeen is really a good child, you must treat him well."

Concubine Ru nodded, also full of emotion: "Yes, originally I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take good care of him, but now I think it's my blessing to be able to raise Seventeen."

Father Xu also said: "You have been in the palace for many years, and you only gave birth to Youyou. Having a prince will be good for both you and Youyou."

This was true, but Concubine Ru never thought about it and just nodded when she heard it.

Father Xu straightened his face and said, "Tinghe, when I went to see His Majesty before, His Majesty told me that he wanted to assign me a job in the capital. What do you think about this?"

Ru Fei's face froze, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Father, I think this is inappropriate."
