Hearing this, the emperor glared at him and said, "It's not your woman's birth, I know, you are just talking without any pain in your waist!"
Yan Zhuo, "..."
Isn't this to enlighten him? It's really useless to be anxious to death. It's useless to let the two princes kneel down and apologize!
But Yan Zhuo thought again, if it was Jiang Ying crying in there now, he would probably be as uneasy as the emperor, but he would not sit and wait, but choose to go in and work hard with Jiang Ying.
Therefore, Yan Zhuo touched his nose and said, "Okay, my royal brother is quite emotional right now, so I won't say any more nonsense. But since my royal brother has kidnapped the two princes, you should be prepared that the children's biological mother will also come along!"
The emperor slammed the arm of his chair. "Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of them? They're two good-for-nothings who can't even raise their own children. The old saying that loving mothers often spoil their children is absolutely true!"
Almost as soon as the emperor finished speaking, Empress Feng, holding the eldest prince's hand, and Concubine Ruan, holding the second prince, followed by maids and nannies from various palaces and palace servants who took care of the two princes, appeared in front of the palace gate in a grand and majestic manner.
The emperor took one look and flew into a rage, "Huang Mingquan, you old man have been ill for a while, and you don't even know what it means to apologize by carrying a thorny stick on your back, right? I want those two rebellious sons who made mistakes, not the backers who support them!"
Queen, “…”
Concubine Ruan, “…”
Seeing the two ladies' beautifully drawn eyes narrowed slightly, Huang Mingquan felt so wronged that he almost cried. He knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty... I am just a eunuch. I can't do this!"
"You!" The emperor was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked Huang Mingquan. Of course, the kick was not heavy, he just did it for the queen and Concubine Ruan to see.
Huang Mingquan knew the emperor too well. He immediately covered his legs and screamed, showing that the emperor was indeed very angry.
This way, the emperor's cold expression made his words even more intimidating. "What are you doing here? They were naughty today and caused such a big trouble. Why shouldn't I teach them a lesson? Why did you two follow me here so eagerly?"
She was also a woman he had favored and had given birth to a son for him, so the emperor didn't have to be so harsh on her.
But what happened today is indeed the fault of the two children. As mothers, they failed to educate their children. Instead of admitting their mistakes, they come here to support their sons. It is outrageous!
As soon as she arrived, the emperor pointed at her nose and scolded her in front of the palace maids. Concubine Ruan's face changed.
The Queen remained calm, holding the eldest prince's hand without letting go. Before Concubine Ruan could quibble, she pushed the child and said, "Go, Heng'er, repeat to your father what you said to your mother in Kunning Palace."
The second prince, Yan Bailing, who was only three years old, was timid. He was so frightened by the emperor who looked like a fire-breathing dragon that he was almost speechless and hiccuped from time to time.
The eldest prince Yan Shuheng was actually afraid, but he could not resist the encouragement of his mother, so he mustered up the courage to step forward.
Before he could even open his mouth, the emperor pointed outside the delivery room and said, "Father doesn't want to hear any excuses. You brothers, go kneel outside the door. When your mother, Empress Chen, and her child are safe, you can get up."
"Father..." The eldest prince's voice froze, feeling aggrieved, bitter, and guilty at the same time.
In fact, he and his second brother had no intention of hurting anyone. It was just an accident.
She had thousands of words in her heart, but because of the emperor's cold face, she couldn't say a word, and she was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
The Queen closed her eyes, very disappointed with the Emperor, but she did not plead for mercy at this time. She only said to her son, "Heng'er, your father is angry. It's okay, just kneel down. After all, Concubine Chen is in danger because of you two. This is a fact.
Just think of it as atonement for your mistakes, okay?
An unintentional mistake is still a mistake, and as men, we must take responsibility."
With just a few words, the eldest prince held back his tears. He walked straight to the outside of the delivery room and knelt down with determination.
Concubine Ruan thought that the Queen was here to fight with the Emperor. Seeing this, she was dumbfounded and stared at the Queen with puzzled eyes for several times.
The emperor frowned, "Why, Concubine Ruan has a problem with my punishment?"
The Queen knew that Concubine Ruan was more protective of her than she was, but right now Concubine Chen's life or death was unknown in there, and the Emperor was in extreme emotions of worry, anxiety, and anger. It was not the time to reason with the Emperor at all!
Although she didn't like Concubine Ruan that much, she didn't want her to seek death, so she kindly said, "Sister Ruan, why don't you let the Second Prince go? The two brothers made the same mistake and should be punished together."
"Queen, I asked Ling'er, and this matter is clearly..."
Just as Concubine Ruan was about to tell the truth, the Queen was quicker to respond. "I know, and I understand your feelings, but please don't say anything now. Listen to me for a moment, okay?"
"On the one hand, it is an irrefutable fact that they secretly climbed the rockery and threw stones at people."
"On the other hand, Concubine Chen was injured because she protected the emperor from disaster. Even the fate of her unborn child is unknown. Therefore, the First and Second Princes kneeling to Concubine Chen are actually kneeling to the emperor's savior, and it doesn't injustice them."
These words were so clear and transparent that Concubine Ruan was speechless for a moment.
After kissing her son's red eyes, she put him down and said, "Ling'er, did you hear what your mother, Queen Feng, said? Although you and the eldest prince did not intentionally make a mistake, you have already made a mistake. Kneeling is your father's punishment for you."
The second prince shuddered, feeling like crying and so frightened that he stole a cautious glance at the emperor and trembled with fear.
How could he be willing to kneel? He just wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms and cry his heart out.
However, at this moment, the eldest prince turned around and stretched out his hand to him, "Second brother, come here quickly. It's just kneeling. It won't kill anyone."
