Chapter 262: Wenhua Chaos
Xie Chen saw the confusion on her face and explained,
"I have already planned Yu Shi's destination.
Before Queen Mother Li raised me, she was pregnant with a boy. If this child had been born, he would have been the legitimate eldest son. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage when she was more than six months pregnant, which made Queen Mother Li unable to get pregnant again.
So after I was born, because my mother had a low rank, I was taken away by Queen Mother Li to be raised.
After I ascended the throne, I posthumously conferred the title of Prince Gong on this child who died early.
Li Xiuyuan is a daughter of the Li family, and Yushi and Prince Gong share the same bloodline. Therefore, I will allow Yushi to inherit Prince Gong's lineage. After a few years, I will give him the status of a prince and a rich fiefdom, and let him leave the capital."
Pei Tingyue had not expected this development.
Being adopted into another branch really meant that Yu Shi had lost his throne and Li Xiuyuan had no hope at all.
However, being a leisurely and wealthy prince and staying away from the fight for the throne in time is the best way out for Yu Shi.
"I think this is a very good plan."
Xie Chen nodded slowly. "However, the matter of Yu Shi becoming the heir to Prince Gong will have to wait for some time. I have recently implemented new policies, and because of state affairs, I have reprimanded the Duke of Li's Mansion several times. If Yu Shi is allowed to become the heir now, I am sure people will think too much. Queen Mother Li has been very caring and attentive to me. After she passes away, I cannot be too ruthless to the Duke of Li's Mansion."
Pei Tingyue scratched his palm and responded, "Okay. Then come and pay your respects in a couple of days. I'll find a reason to scold Li Xiuyuan. I think she won't dare to do anything for a while."
Xie Chen sighed: "It will be hard for Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue smiled brightly: "This is not a big deal. It's just a matter of two sentences. Your Majesty is too worried."
Xie Chen took her hand and said, "Then I would like to thank the Imperial Concubine in advance."
Pei Tingyue hummed twice: "Don't thank me for that."
The two looked at each other.
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes and slowly approached: "Yes, I just remembered that I still have something to bring back. It seems that it is time to thank the Royal Concubine."
He raised the last syllable of his voice, especially emphasizing the words "thank you very much".
Pei Tingyue raised her eyebrows, said nothing, raised her slender jade fingers, and patted his cheek lightly.
Xie Chen's expression became even more dangerous.
Slowly turn over.
*
A few days later, on the 15th day of March, we paid our respects.
Pei Tingyue found an excuse to give Li Xiuyuan a good beating, and seeing her face gradually turning pale, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
She was the one who instigated the discord, and she was also the one who didn't dare to admit it. Since she didn't have the courage, why not just be honest? Why did she have to come out and do something?
Pei Tingyue showed no mercy and stopped beating her until cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
After the greetings were over, Pei Tingyue began to deal with palace affairs. In the afternoon, after she had finished her meal and dealt with palace affairs, she was about to rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, a palace servant came hurriedly to report, "Your Highness, there's an accident in Wenhua Palace!"
Pei Tingyue's eyes shone, and he asked in a cold voice, "What happened to Wenhua Palace?"
Yun Shu and Yun Zheng also walked forward nervously and stared at the palace maid.
The palace maid was so exhausted that she was out of breath. She gasped and said, "The fight... the fight... the fight has begun."
Pei Tingyue stood up and shouted, "Speak clearly! Who was fighting with whom?"
The palace servant said, "The two princes' study companions, Prince Xuan and the young master of Duke Li, have both seen blood!"
When Pei Tingyue heard this, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and summoned King Xuan and his wife to the palace.
As soon as he left the main hall, he saw Liang An rushing in. He was covered in blood and holding a child in his arms.
Looking closely, who else could this child be but Xie Xun?
Xie Xun had already passed out, his face was pale and colorless, and his head was wrapped in several layers of white cloth, but it was of no use, as blood was gushing out.
Pei Tingyue was shocked. She held his little hand and shook it: "Ah Xun? Ah Xun?"
After calling out several times, Xie Xun didn't respond at all.
Liang An carried him straight to Xiao Si's bedroom, placed him on the bed, and said anxiously, "Your Highness's head wound is too severe and he has been bleeding. The Imperial Hospital is too far from Wenhua Palace and can't get there in a while. I was afraid that Your Highness would lose too much blood, so I hurried to bring him back to our palace. You must apply hemostatic powder to Your Highness first."
He didn't need to say anything, Yun Zheng had already come.
After bringing the medicine, Yun Zheng carefully removed the white cloth from Xie Xun's head.
The shocking wound was immediately exposed to everyone.
There was a huge gash on his forehead, and one could even see the white bones. The bottom of the wound was right between the corner of his eye and his temple.
If it had been even slightly off target, Xie Xun's eye would have been damaged. If it had hit his temple, Xie Xun's life would have been in jeopardy.
This scene made Pei Tingyue's eyes red with anger.
She shouted angrily, "Tell Li Xiuyuan to bring the third prince's tutor to Chengning Palace immediately!"
She had never been so angry before. The palace maids knelt down and apologized, and two young eunuchs hurried over.
Yun Zheng carefully applied medicine powder on the wound and bandaged it lightly.
At least the bleeding stopped, but Xie Xun was still unconscious and his breathing was getting weaker.
Pei Tingyue was anxious and urged several groups of people to go to the Imperial Hospital.
"Mother! Mother! Where is Axun?"
Suddenly, an anxious voice was heard in the hall, and Xiao Si came in with Pei Yu.
The situation of the two was not much better.
Xiao Si's hat was crooked, his face was black and mixed with blood, and his body was even dirtier.
Pei Yu looked even worse. There were several bloodstains on his face, some of which had scabs, and some were still bleeding. His arms were not placed naturally.
Now, Pei Tingyue was really going crazy.
Besides being a selfish person, she is also the most protective of her own shortcomings.
Among the three injured people, one was her son, one was her nephew, and the other one was the most seriously injured. Although he had no blood relationship with her, she gave him the name and loved him as much as her nephew since he was a child.
Normally, he dotes on these three people, but now they are all bleeding and injured. How can Pei Tingyue not go crazy?
She wanted to see what kind of hatred or grudge had caused these kids to make such a fuss.
Pei Tingyue sent someone out again, and this time she was really rude.
"Within a quarter of an hour, bring Li and the young man to me! Also, summon all the palace servants and guards from Wenhua Palace!"
Seeing the two young masters like this, Yun Zheng gave Yun Shu a look, and the two of them carried Xiao Si and Pei Yu out of the bedroom and went to the warm room to change their clothes and apply medicine.
Pei Tingyue took the time to come over and take a look.
Although there were no obvious injuries on Xiao Si's face, his body was covered with bruises, which was very scary.
And Pei Yu, in addition to the injuries on his face, his hand was even more serious and he couldn't move it at all. It was actually dislocated.
Pei Tingyue stared at it intently, his anger reaching its peak.
