Chapter 94 Every night when it was quiet, she would sit up and slap herself

Lingpin was already frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat by the sudden male voice that came out of nowhere. After hearing these words, she was even more frightened and collapsed on the chair.

If Emperor Wen Zhao had not warned her before, she would have knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

The sixteenth prince stared at Concubine Ling blankly. The seven-year-old boy looked bewildered. He didn't know who the man who was talking was, and why he said that every time he got sick it was because of his mother on purpose. But didn't his mother say that he was born weak?

Looking at the Sixteenth Prince's innocent eyes, Concubine Ling looked away guiltily, not daring to meet his gaze.

Another vicious woman. As soon as Tongtong finished speaking, Emperor Wen Zhao had guessed something and looked at Lingpin with cold eyes.

Lingpin felt a chill down her spine and her hands trembled when she saw that look which contained obvious murderous intent.

Ji Jinyou was stunned, and the chubby little hand that was about to make a move withdrew, and looked up at Lingpin: [Is Lingpin the biological mother of the sixteenth brother? ]

System: [Guaranteed authenticity, absolutely genuine. 】

Ji Jinyou's face wrinkled into a bun: [It's her own child, so why did she do that? ]

System: [To win favor. Emperor Wen Zhao still values ​​the heir to the throne very much. Although he is usually very strict and doesn't seem to pay special attention to any of the children, he will still go to see anyone who has a headache or fever. If the patient is seriously ill, he will stay overnight and watch over the child at night.]

Ji Jinyou: [In the past few months, the Sixteenth Brother has been sick several times, right? Is this the trick that Concubine Ling used to trick Father into going to her palace again and again?]

System: [Yes, this trick is quite useful. Because the Sixteenth Prince was often ill, Emperor Wen Zhao went to Lingpin's palace more often than to other concubines who were not favored.]

Ji Jinyou really didn’t understand: [Being sick is so painful, wouldn’t Concubine Ling feel bad for you? That time when I accidentally fell to the ground, what if I didn’t fall? My mother held me in her arms and cried because of the pain. ]

System: [My dear Youzi, not everyone loves children as much as Rufei does. Some people are born with evil hearts and are not worthy of being parents.]

Thinking of the news she had seen in the original world, where biological fathers or mothers beat their own children to death, Ji Jinyou suddenly felt extremely happy: [Of course, my mother is the best mother in the world. ]

The system thought so and said: [That’s natural.]

Listening to Yi Wa Yi Tong's words, Emperor Wen Zhao glanced at the weak Sixteenth Prince, his heart burning with rage, he really wanted to slap that vicious woman Lingpin to death.

Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but this vicious woman, in order to win favor, even harmed her own son. Poor little Sixteen suffered so much for no reason.

It was also his own negligence. Every time Sixteen fell ill, he went to see her, but so many times, he didn't find anything wrong. When he thought of his carelessness, Emperor Wen Zhao wanted to kill her. He glared at Concubine Ling with his eyes, wishing he could chop her to death on the spot.

It was just that Xiaojiu was still there, so Emperor Wen Zhao could not lose his temper, but his fingers holding the chess piece tightened unconsciously, causing a crack to appear on the jade chess piece.

Concubine Ling sat on the chair with her head drooped. Ji Jinyou couldn't see her expression clearly, so he looked at the Sixteenth Prince, and saw that the Sixteenth Prince looked stupid, staring at Concubine Ling blankly.

Ji Jinyou sighed in her heart: [Sixteenth brother is one year older than my seventeenth brother, but he looks almost the same height as my seventeenth brother. It’s all because of Lingpin.]

System: [Yes, he gets a minor illness every ten days and a major illness every month. Under Concubine Ling's deliberate actions, the Sixteenth Prince has always been weak and sickly. I don't know how much medicine he drank. Not only is medicine poisonous, but Concubine Ling also restrained the Sixteenth Prince and did not let him go out to play. How can a child grow up healthily if he does not get enough exercise?]

Ji Jinyou clenched his fists in anger: [Father went there so many times, but didn't find anything? ]

System: [The Queen Mother loves Emperor Wen Zhao very much. She loves him so much that she is willing to sacrifice her life for him. In Emperor Wen Zhao's heart, his biological father is unreliable, but his biological mother must be sincere and good for him.]

[So, although Emperor Wen Zhao also felt that the Sixteenth Prince was sick too often, the Sixteenth Prince was raised by his biological mother, Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling only gave birth to the Sixteenth Prince and no other children, so Emperor Wen Zhao never suspected anything else and just thought that the Sixteenth Prince was really born weak and sickly.]

Ji Jinyou's face was full of worry: [What should I do? I can't tell you. How can I remind my father? How about I invite my sixteenth brother to stay at Miaoyunxuan for a while? If my sixteenth brother doesn't get sick for a long time, and gets sick as soon as he returns to Lingpin, will my father find something wrong?]

Emperor Wen Zhao was deeply moved when he heard what Xiao Jiu said. Look, look, this is his Xiao Jiu, always so innocent and kind.

System: [Youzier, don't waste your energy. The Sixteenth Prince is Lingpin's tool to win his favor. She keeps a close eye on him. She will never let the Sixteenth Prince follow you to live in Miaoyunxuan.]

[Oh, what should I do?] Ji Jinyou fiddled with the chess piece in his hand, his brows furrowed, and he looked extremely worried.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: [Everyone, then according to the original plot, how did the sixteenth brother die in the end? ]

The system flipped through the pages and replied: [In order to get Emperor Wen Zhao to go to his place, Concubine Ling made the Sixteenth Prince feel cold air today, made him eat some indigestible food tomorrow, and made him bump into things the day after tomorrow. Anyway, she used endless tricks. Finally, one time, she lost control of her temper and made the prince seriously ill. No one could save him, and he died of illness.]

Ji Jinyou was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. [When did that happen? ]

The system flipped through the pages again: [According to the character summary, the sixteenth prince died at the age of seven. So, that would have happened in the next few months.]

Ji Jinyou clenched his two fists tightly and glared at Lingpin fiercely.

Emperor Wen Zhao also looked at Concubine Ling coldly, and secretly cursed her a few times in his heart as a vicious woman.

When Lingpin heard that Sixteen would be killed by her soon, she looked at the little boy beside her in shock. She blamed herself so much and reached out to hold his hand with guilt in her eyes.

But what she didn't expect was that the little boy who had always been so dependent on her retracted his hand and put it behind his back, looking at her with confusion and vigilance.

This was the first time that her own son stared at her in that way. Thinking back to the time when the little boy had nestled in her arms and called him "mother" affectionately, Lingpin's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle. She twitched in pain and could hardly breathe.

Lingpin turned sideways to look at the Sixteenth Prince. Ji Jinyou was sitting on the couch by the window. From this angle, she couldn't see Lingpin's face. Seeing her reaching out to hold the Sixteenth Prince, Ji Jinyou thought she was just pretending to be a loving mother in front of Emperor Wen Zhao. She snorted in her heart and asked, "What about Lingpin? How did she die?"

The system replied: [After the death of the Sixteenth Prince, Concubine Ling felt guilty, her motherly love was awakened, and she repented. Every night when it was quiet, she would sit up and slap herself in the face and bang her head against the wall. Later, she even did everything she had done before, which was to deliberately make the Sixteenth Prince sick, hoping to atone for her sins by dying in the same way.]

Ji Jinyou snorted in her heart: [The Sixteenth Brother is dead, who cares about her redemption? She just wants to make herself feel better.]

Seeing that the little kid was very angry, the system advised him kindly: [Don't be angry, kid. There's no need to get angry with this kind of scum.]

Ji Jinyou asked again: [Did she die of illness in the end? ]

System: [That's not the case. She is an adult, and her body and resistance are much stronger than a child. Even though she went through so much trouble, she didn't get sick, and she certainly didn't die. In the end, she tortured herself to madness, and ran around the palace with her hair disheveled.]

【Emperor Wen Zhao thought that abandoning her would bring shame to the royal family, so he locked her up in the Yongsi Palace. At night, she had a hallucination and saw the Sixteenth Prince coming back to look for her. In order to chase the Sixteenth Prince, she climbed to the roof and fell down and died.】

[Evil deeds will be punished, she deserves it.] Ji Jinyou felt relieved, but sighed again: [It's only a few months away, how can I remind my father?]

When Emperor Wen Zhao heard this, he knew there was nothing more to say about Sixteenth and Concubine Ling. He couldn't bear to let the little kid frown and think about what to do, so he said, "Little Nine, your father has something else to do. Would you mind taking your Sixteenth brother out to play for a while?"

Ji Jinyou's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Okay."

After saying that, she stood up, walked to the couch, turned over and got down on her stomach, put on her pink shoes, walked in front of the sixteenth prince, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said in a baby voice: "Sixteenth brother, Youyou will take you out to play."

At the age of seven, he understood many things. The news he just heard made the little boy confused and helpless. He looked at the little sister in front of him and could only see her mouth moving and hear her voice, but her expression was dazed and he had no idea what she was saying.

Seeing that he was standing there motionless, Emperor Wen Zhao stepped forward, picked up the little boy from the chair, and patted him on the back: "Sixteen, be obedient. Go play with Little Nine first. I will talk to you later."

Because the Sixteenth Prince had been sick many times, he was often held like this by Emperor Wen Zhao. Nestled in that broad, strong and familiar embrace, the little boy's suppressed fear and confusion suddenly surged up.

He didn't know why his mother wanted to make him sick and kill him, and he was afraid.

The little boy stretched out his arms and hugged Emperor Wen Zhao's neck. He suddenly burst into tears, his voice panicking: "Father, Father."

Listening to the heart-wrenching cry, Emperor Wen Zhao felt extremely distressed. He patted the boy's back with his big hands and said softly, "Don't worry, Sixteen. No matter what happens, your father will take care of it for you."

Ji Jinyou raised her head and looked at the Sixteenth Prince who was being held in the arms of Emperor Wen Zhao. Her eyes were full of confusion: [No, I just held the Sixteenth Prince's hand, why did he suddenly cry? ]

System: [I don’t know. Maybe Concubine Ling has done something strange again. The Sixteenth Prince may be feeling uncomfortable.]

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen Zhao reached out and picked up the little babies, holding one in each hand, and walked to the outer hall to coax them. After a while, he coaxed Sixteenth and put the two children on the ground, "Xiaojiu is the most sensible. Can you help your father take good care of your Sixteenth brother?"

Ji Jinyou nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, father."

After saying that, she stretched out her little hand and picked up the little boy whose eyes were red from crying, and walked out: "Sixteenth brother, Youyou will take you to play with fifteenth brother. Fifteenth brother is amazing. He can climb trees..."

Watching the two children walk away, Emperor Wen Zhao's face turned cold and he turned back to the palace.
