Zhou Beichen's eyes darkened, "So, the person who beat the Second Princess is Prime Minister Li's son."
The two little men looked at each other and nodded.
Zhou Beichen sneered.
"Very good, very good! This Prime Minister Li actually dared to allow his son to commit violence and beat my daughter. Deshun, you go and convey the order. Prime Minister Li allowed his son to commit violence. Both of them will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
"As for the Grand Tutor, you dared not report what you knew and slandered my daughter. Take him out and behead him."
Deshun replied yes and ran away in a hurry.
Lipin, who had just walked in, heard the order and shouted loudly.
"Eunuch Deshun, stop, stop."
Deshun glanced at Zhou Beichen. Since his master didn't order him to stop, he immediately quickened his pace.
Run!
Zhou Beichen's face became more and more ugly. Looking at Concubine Li, he suddenly remembered that there was such a person in his harem. After a long time, he almost forgot about her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was just about to come in to pay my respects when I accidentally overheard Your Majesty's punishment of Prime Minister Li. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy. Prime Minister Li also had a son in his old age, so he was a little lax in disciplining his son. Moreover, I heard that my nephew had learned his lesson last time. Twenty strokes of the cane would have killed him. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare the lives of my father and nephew."
Looking at Concubine Li who was hugging his thigh.
Zhou Beichen smacked his lips. Why do so many people like to hug his thighs recently? Don’t they all say that he is cruel? How dare they hug him? Don’t they know that he hates this kind of physical contact the most?
Without thinking, Zhou Beichen kicked the man out. Seeing the gorgeously dressed Concubine Li lying on the ground in a mess with her hair tangled like a bird's nest, Zhou Beichen felt much better.
When he looked at Ye Bihe again, he felt inexplicably better.
He ordered someone to help Ye Bihe up, walked to her side, and looked down at her.
"For the last time, I will tell you clearly that from now on, your name is Zhou Bihe, the second princess of the Zhou family, the daughter of me and Concubine Hui. From now on, do not cry and ask to leave the palace again, otherwise, I will directly push you out and behead you. I never joke with you."
Zhou Bihe was frightened by his words, her whole body trembling and convulsing. She glanced at him sideways, and Zhou Beichen gave orders.
"Wait for the Second Princess to go down, dress up, change clothes, and give her medicine."
Nanny Xu took the people away, and Zhou Beichen seemed to remember something and walked in front of Shen Nian'an. She didn't salute him, and he was quite happy.
Shufei, Xianfei and Yingpin knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"
Zhou Beichen hummed lightly, "Get up."
As he said that, he put the two children down, took Shen Nian’an’s hand, and walked towards the soft couch.
"An An, since I've placed the Second Princess with you, then you are her biological mother. You can beat her or scold her as you like, as long as she doesn't get angry with you."
An unknown emotion rose from his heart, and Shen Nian’an nodded.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xianfei, Shufei, and Yingpin were all sincerely happy for her. Only Lipin, who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, had anger in her eyes that had long been burned red by hatred, and she looked at Shen Nian'an with gnashing teeth.
She kept repeating in her heart, "Chen Nian'an, one day, I will make you and the little bastard you gave birth to go to hell. It's all because of you that I ended up like this."
The scene changed, and Concubine Li looked like a pitiful little white flower again. She crawled up from the ground limply, step by step, limping, and walked towards Zhou Beichen like a weak willow.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was red from crying. She was standing in front of Zhou Beichen, sobbing in her unique whimpering sound.
"Your Majesty, a day without seeing you feels like three years. I've missed you so much in so many days. I don't ask for anything else. In this life, I only hope to be like Concubine Hui and have a daughter like Nuannuan. Then I will have no regrets in this life."
"Also, could Your Majesty show mercy and allow them to beat my nephew with a bamboo stick?"
"Also, I think I sprained my foot just now. It hurts a lot now. Your Majesty, could you please take a look at me and call a royal physician?"
Concubine Li remembered that Zhou Beichen used to love playing boudoir games with her the most. When she saw Zhou Beichen looking at her, she would deliberately shake the sensitive parts of her body, wanting to conquer Zhou Beichen, take him away, take him to her palace to sleep, and by the way, give birth to twins in the future.
Then she is really amazing!
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He glanced at her, his tone full of impatience and disgust.
"Lipin, if you are alright, go somewhere cool. If you are injured, have the maid go get the imperial physician. As for your nephew."
Zhou Beichen didn't even look at her.
"Xiao Shunzi, go quickly and tell them to be gentle when they cane him, so as not to injure him. After all, the Prime Minister has to attend court tomorrow. Bring the imperial physician and others with him. Also, I have allowed Prime Minister Li to recruit soldiers after his injuries have healed."
If Prime Minister Li was useless, he would have killed him long ago.
Libi: "..."
She lowered her head in disappointment and looked at her body. Was she really so unattractive now?
She ~doesn't~ believe it.
Also, the emperor had treated her family very, very well before, so why had everything changed now?
Damn Concubine Hui! Damn Zhou Zhaonuan! Damn Zhou Zeyun even more!
Your Majesty, if you don't favor her, you will die!
Concubine Li was about to go crazy, but on the surface she looked calm as water. She had a messy hair and gave herself some encouragement.
Lipin fell to her knees on the ground with a thud, and once again hugged Zhou Beichen's thighs tightly, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, which was very pitiful to look at.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I have been childless for half my life and am so lonely in this deep palace. Now Concubine Ye can no longer give me that kind of medicine. Maybe I can have a child. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
Concubine Li released her arms that were holding Zhou Beichen's thighs, knelt upright on the ground, and kowtowed like she was banging her head against a wall.
"I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me. During these days of confinement, I have truly reflected and understood. Today, I am not vying for your favor, but I just want a child that belongs only to me."
"Oh!"
Looking at her confident look, Zhou Beichen snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, Nuannuan blinked and knelt in front of Zhou Beichen, imitating Lipin's behavior.
He started to kowtow with a bang.
"Please have mercy, Father. Please have mercy, Father. After spending these days with you, Nuannuan has truly reflected and understood. You are truly a good father. A good father should be good to his daughter. Father, I ask nothing else but that you give my mother to Nuannuan and my brother. Don't let me and my brother secretly take us away in the middle of the night when we are sound asleep."
Seeing that Zhou Beichen didn't say anything, Nuannuan hugged his thighs without saying a word.
"Nuan Nuan doesn't ask Daddy to give up Mommy completely to Nuan Nuan, I just ask Daddy to leave a place for Nuan Nuan."
