Chapter 236: Let Queen Mother Jiang be abused and suffer the consequences
"Cousin! Brother!"
Xie Chengyun left the Empress Dowager behind and excitedly jumped towards his cousin and younger brother who were standing at the entrance of the main hall.
Looking at his cute cousin Yun'er, Cousin Wei also wanted to rush over and hug him, but unfortunately he was a foreign official and did not dare to barge into the Empress Dowager's bedroom. He could only stand outside the hall in an orderly manner.
The little fat boy in his arms twisted his body and got off the ground, then ran towards his brother with his short legs, touched his head and hugged him tightly.
“Brother, brother, brother!”
He rubbed his furry head against his brother and said impatiently, "Brother, come with me to the banquet. Mom missed you so much that she asked me to come find you!"
Xie Chengyun's eyes lit up.
He can finally leave!
He immediately turned his head and looked at Queen Mother Jiang, "Grandmother, Yun'er said my mother is looking for me. Can I go find my mother?"
Queen Mother Jiang narrowed her eyes.
She pretended to have a headache again and groaned a few times in pain, "Yun'er, as soon as you leave the Royal Grandmother, her head starts to hurt again. Only when you accompany the Royal Grandmother will she feel better--"
She looked at Xie Chengyun pitifully, "Yun'er, are you going to abandon the sick grandmother here alone?"
Xie Chengyun pursed his lips.
The Empress Dowager is so annoying that she insisted on keeping him here to harm my mother.
Before Xie Chengyun could speak, Xie Congyuan tilted his head and said to Queen Mother Jiang in a strange tone, "Grandmother, didn't you say that you were not feeling well and asked Aunt Cui to call Uncle Rui back to accompany you? Uncle Rui is not as fast as my cousin. He is behind and will be here soon. Grandmother, please let Uncle Rui accompany you. Brother, can you come with me to see mother?"
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Xie Congyuan coldly.
Haha, little bastard.
He actually came here to ruin her business!
She could not hide the disgust in her eyes, and she slammed her hand on the table and scolded!
"Do you still have any manners? When you see the Imperial Grandmother, you must kowtow and show respect. Is that what your self-defeating mother taught you?"
"The emperor is a humble man, the queen is dignified and polite, and even your brother has learned to be dignified. Why are you so ignorant of etiquette, like a lowly person in the market, with vulgar habits?"
"Oh, you are said to be the emperor's child, but I don't think you look like him at all. I don't know who you inherited all these disgusting habits from. You are really a little bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by her!"
"Get out of here right now. I hate you more and more. Don't come around me anymore!"
Queen Mother Jiang spoke harshly and loudly, and her words were so extreme that even the fourteen-year-old cousin Wei was frightened, let alone the four-year-old Xie Congyuan?
The little child stood there at a loss, looking at the Empress Dowager.
Every time the Empress Dowager scolded him, his little body would tremble.
His face gradually turned pale. He didn't dare to look at the scary eyes of the Royal Grandmother, nor did he dare to listen to the harsh words of the Royal Grandmother. He was so scared that he hid his fat self behind his thin brother, but he still couldn't avoid the verbal attacks of the Royal Grandmother.
The little child could no longer hold back his tears after being scolded and humiliated by the Empress Dowager.
“Wow wow wow——”
"elder brother……"
"elder brother……"
He clenched his brother's clothes tightly with his little hands, calling his brother helplessly and aggrieved. With tears in his eyes, he watched his brother turn around and hug him in panic. He could no longer hold back his tears and hugged his brother and cried sadly.
He was crying and sobbing hard.
"Why did the Empress Dowager scold me? I was a good boy and didn't cause any trouble. Brother..."
"Is it because I am not behaving well? But...but I am behaving well. I didn't hit the Imperial Grandmother with my head today. I didn't. Why should I be scolded, brother..."
Xie Chengyun listened to his brother's sad crying and he also wanted to cry.
He turned his head and glared at the Empress Dowager angrily.
Big bad guy!
He wanted to harm his mother and scolded his brother!
He couldn't help it, and said angrily with red eyes -
"Grandmother, you are such a bad person! My brother didn't do anything wrong, why are you so mean to him? You even scolded him to tears!"
He imitated his father's way of coaxing them, gently patted his brother's back, and shouted to the Imperial Grandmother, "I hate you! Imperial Grandmother, I hate you!"
He grabbed his fat brother's hand and strode towards the door.
He wanted to take his brother away from this place.
This damn place!
Queen Mother Jiang looked at Xie Chengyun in astonishment.
When she heard her precious grandson say "I hate you" in person, her heart suddenly ached.
Seeing her eldest grandson turn around and run, she stood up immediately in anxiety.
This damn kid!
Is he closer to his biological grandmother or his bastard half brother? How come this child can't tell the difference between relatives and strangers?
"Yun'er, stop!"
Queen Mother Jiang slammed the table and shouted.
But Xie Chengyun didn't listen at all.
He also covered his ears with his hands.
This action made Queen Mother Jiang so angry that she fell backwards.
She gritted her teeth, pointed at the palace guards at the entrance of the palace and said, "Stop the two princes for me!"
Just as the palace servants were about to step forward, Xie Chengyun shouted fiercely, "Who dares to stop me? Cousin, listen, whoever dares to approach me will be beaten to death!"
Cousin Wei was shocked.
Although he is the older brother, he is only fourteen years old. Have you ever considered his fear of letting him go against the Queen Mother alone?
He glanced at Queen Mother Jiang secretly and whispered, "Cousin, that's the Queen Mother's man—"
While Xie Chengyun was gently protecting his crying brother, he looked up at his cousin Wei.
He exudes the aura of his father, and although his voice is childish, his words are extremely authoritative.
"They are the Empress Dowager's men, and you are the eldest prince's! You can beat them to death, and when we get to the emperor later, I'll see if he will kill me!"
After a moment of surprise, Cousin Wei immediately bowed and accepted the order.
"Yes, Your Highness."
He flicked the corner of his robe, turned around and prepared to fight, staring coldly at the palace maids in the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The palace servants stopped immediately.
They looked at each other.
Should I listen to the Queen Mother and step forward to stop the eldest prince, or should I listen to the eldest prince and step back?
It's really hard to be a slave.
When Xie Chengyun saw the palace servants stop, he turned to look at Empress Dowager Jiang, whose face was ashen.
"Grandmother, you are being unreasonable and making my brother cry. I don't want to stay with you now. You are so mean!"
After he said this angrily, he took his brother and cousin and strode away.
This time, Queen Mother Jiang did not ask anyone to stop him. It was useless to stop him as the child was too stubborn.
She gritted her teeth, held her breath and quickly followed.
I have to keep up. It's pitch dark here. What if I accidentally bump into something or fall into the pond?
No matter how infuriating he is, he is still her grandson. The kingdom still has to be inherited by this dead child!
Soon, the group chased after the Queen Mother and left her bedroom.
Soon they ran into Prince Rui and Nanny Cui head-on.
Seeing his two nephews crying, King Rui was a little surprised, "Yun'er, Yuan'er, what happened? Who bullied you?"
Xie Congyuan cried so hard that he hiccuped, but he still did not forget to complain.
He pointed behind him and said aggrievedly, "Uncle Rui, the Royal Grandmother bullied us. She was mean to me and scolded me. She was so scary..."
Prince Rui looked in astonishment at Queen Mother Jiang who had caught up with him.
Queen Mother Jiang said with a sullen face, "I am the elder, so what's wrong with me saying a few words?"
Xie Congyuan was frightened again.
Xie Chengyun protected his brother and choked up, "You can say that if your brother made a mistake, you can't scold him like this if he didn't make a mistake!"
Xie Chengyun didn't want to talk to the Empress Dowager, so he took his brother's hand, walked around Uncle Rui, and continued to run forward.
He looked at the brightly lit area far in the distance.
He deliberately took his brother away, not only to support and protect his brother, but also to take the opportunity to leave and inform his mother...
Looking back at Empress Dowager Jiang and Nanny Cui, Xie Chengyun ran even faster.
Queen Mother Jiang also followed behind.
King Rui thought about it and followed.
He said, "Mother, aren't you feeling unwell? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Queen Mother Jiang shook her head and said, "No, Xie Congyuan is such a talkative brat. If I don't follow him in person, I'm afraid he will complain and slander me at the banquet later."
The group chased each other and finally arrived at the banquet.
The two crying princes attracted everyone's attention.
When Xie Junlin saw his sons running towards him crying, he felt so distressed that he immediately threw away his wine glass, stood up, and hugged the two children in his arms.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? What happened?"
Before the two children could speak, Queen Mother Jiang spoke softly from behind.
"Nothing. Yuan'er was reckless and didn't know the rules. I scolded him a few words and he ran away crying."
Xie Junlin frowned and looked at Queen Mother Jiang.
He suspected that his mother was picking on Yuan'er and bullying him because Yuan'er was not a member of the Xie family.
But in this situation, he couldn't say much.
He gently wiped the tears from Xie Congyuan's face and said softly, "Be good, don't cry. The Royal Grandmother is strict, so let's not go to the Royal Grandmother in the future, okay? From now on, you will stay with the Royal Father and the Queen Mother. The Royal Father and the Queen Mother will not scold you, and they will love you."
Xie Congyuan hummed and leaned in the crook of his father's neck without saying a word.
Queen Mother Jiang was unhappy when she heard this.
She sneered, "Emperor, is this how you educate your child? I scolded him a few times, and you taught him to stay away from me and never enter my bedroom? You are such a great father to your son by doing this!"
Xie Junlin looked at Queen Mother Jiang and said calmly, "My mother is old and likes quietness. Yuan'er is impatient and reckless. Every time he goes, he will disturb my mother. When my mother is unhappy, she will scold Yuan'er for no reason. I love my son very much. I won't let him go. It's good for both my mother and him."
Queen Mother Jiang was so angry at this son that she almost died.
The officials below were like quails, all with their heads down and keeping silent.
Seeing this, Xie Chengyun secretly grabbed his brother's hand and ran to find his mother.
Xie Chengyun was extremely happy when he opened the door and saw his beautiful mother and the queen mother sitting on the small couch.
He finally saw his mother!
He immediately rushed over, "Mom!"
Xie Congyuan also threw himself into the queen's arms for comfort.
The two mothers felt distressed and worried when they saw their child crying, and kept asking what had happened.
Xie Congyuan grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Mom, come with me, I want to tell you..."
He pulled his mother into a corner, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Mom, you asked me to monitor Madam Cui and the Empress Dowager, and I overheard..."
Shen Yuanwei looked at him in surprise, then listened quietly.
Xie Chengyun quickly told Shen Yuanwei about the plan of Empress Dowager Jiang and Nanny Cui.
Shen Yuanwei sneered angrily.
She originally thought that Queen Mother Jiang wanted to make her and Prince Rui have an affair, but she didn't expect that Queen Mother Jiang was even more vicious than she thought, and actually found a playboy who frequented brothels!
A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Yuanwei's eyes.
Oh.
The second young master Zhao, right?
Since Queen Mother Jiang likes him so much and is so satisfied with him, then go and enjoy this Second Master Zhao yourself!
A vicious woman in her fifties and a dandy playboy who loves to visit brothels and flirt with young wives are a perfect match made in heaven. These two should just be a couple and neither of them should harm the other!
Shen Yuanwei suppressed her anger and kissed Xie Chengyun on the forehead.
She was touched and said, "Thank you, Yun'er, thank you for helping me hear such a big secret. You are such a great baby. I am proud of you."
Xie Chengyun covered his forehead that was kissed and leaned shyly on Shen Yuanwei's neck, "Mom, I am your hard-earned baby. I will always help you, forever and ever."
Shen Yuanwei hugged her capable and lovely eldest son, her heart full of tenderness.
After spending some time with her son, Shen Yuanwei said, "Go stay with your mother for a while. I'll go talk to Uncle Xiao first. I'll come find you later. Can you accompany me for a walk?"
Xie Chengyun nodded obediently, "Okay."
Shen Yuanwei kissed him again, stood up, said a few words to the queen, and left.
She returned to her seat and asked Xiao Lingzhao in a low voice.
"Do you know which family Zhao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, belongs to? And who is the second son of his family?"
Xiao Lingzhao was a little surprised.
Why are you suddenly asking about the Second Young Master Zhao?
He looked Shen Yuanwei up and down and gestured to her, "Diagonally opposite us, at the third table, there is the handsome but frivolous young man in a royal blue brocade robe."
Shen Yuanwei glanced at it obscurely.
She is really pretty.
He is handsome and knows how to coax women. It must be Queen Mother Jiang's blessing to have such a man as her male concubine, right?
Shen Yuanwei curled her red lips slightly.
Xiao Lingzhao picked up some food for her and asked her in a low voice, "Why are you asking about this kind of person?"
Shen Yuanwei also answered in a low voice.
"I know how the Queen Mother wants to harm me. She prepared a strong drug and wanted to lure me to the back, force me to take the drug, and then let this Second Young Master Zhao abuse me, and then let everyone catch the adulterer..."
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao looked at Shen Yuanwei in astonishment.
They didn't expect Queen Mother Jiang to be so vicious!
His slender fingers clenched the wine glass in an instant, and a huge rage rose in his heart.
How dare Queen Mother Jiang!
First, she helped her eldest son to abuse Yuan Wei, then she gave Yuan Wei abortion pills, causing Yuan Wei to bleed profusely and almost die. Now she wants to help her youngest son violate Yuan Wei!
After finding out that his youngest son could let go of Yuan Wei, he wanted to let that rotten playboy to ruin Yuan Wei!
This is really too much!
Yuan Wei is Xiao Lingzhao's wife and the mother of his child!
He would never allow Queen Mother Jiang to harm Yuan Wei so viciously!
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao's anger with her sidelong glance. She approached Xiao Lingzhao and spoke word by word, "Do you dare to offend the royal family for me?"
Xiao Lingzhao stared at her steadily with his dark eyes.
After a few breaths, Xiao Lingzhao clenched Shen Yuanwei's fingers, brought the wine glass to his lips, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
He said, "You have been bullied by her time and again. As your husband, why should I not dare to do the same?"
