Chapter 72 If He Hadn’t Seen It With His Own Eyes, He Might Have Believed It
He ran to the door as fast as he could, with an anxious look frozen on his face.
Inside the Wanshou Palace, Liu Zhiyuan was seen stepping on a pig's head, or to be more precise, a nanny who had been beaten into a pig's head.
He didn't know who it was exactly, he didn't know him, and he was beaten so badly that even his mother wouldn't be able to recognize him.
He grabbed the empress dowager's clothes with one hand and slapped her in the face with the other.
When he was tired of smoking, he shook his hands in disgust.
The Queen Mother and the nanny lying on the ground were so angry that their faces turned red and they cursed foul language.
"Liu Fei, you bitch, go to hell!"
"Someone, come! Drag Liu Zhiyuan out and chop him up! Ah! Someone, come! Beat him up..."
On the other side, Jin Fu knocked down a bunch of people by himself and threw them aside like a pyramid. Occasionally he would take a break to slap them a few times, and it seemed that he enjoyed the beating quite a lot.
Xiao Yu, "..."
So what was he worried about just now!
Instead of worrying about Liu Zhiyuan, a magician, getting into danger, it’s better to worry about him himself!
After a moment of silence, he was about to step in, but his eyes went dark and Xiao Yu was sent dozens of meters away. A moment later, he heard the angry curses of Aunt Jia and the Queen Mother.
Very good, so that's where the insults came from.
He arrived at the gate at the right time, but did not go in immediately. Instead, he stood there waiting.
It was simple. Liu Zhiyuan was fighting enthusiastically inside. If he went in now, not only would he disturb her interest, but he would also have no idea how it would end.
After waiting for a while, my vision went dark and I heard the voice of Liu Zhiyuan reciting from inside.
Xiao Yu frowned and walked in.
At first glance, he saw Liu Zhiyuan standing in the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of palace maids and nannies. The empress dowager was sitting at the top, watching coldly.
Liu Zhiyuan was thin and slender, and compared with the broad and fat nanny in front of her, she looked like a pitiful and helpless little white flower.
Jin Fu was standing at the door and was the first to notice Xiao Yu. His eyes immediately lit up with joy. Great, the emperor is here!
She quickly saluted, "Your servant greets the emperor!"
When everyone heard this, panic flashed across their faces, and then they saluted in confusion.
"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."
The empress dowager's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, and it came quite quickly.
It seems that Liu Zhiyuan is indeed very special to him, so he called her to the palace to recite a few books. Before he started to make things difficult for her, people came over.
It can be seen how important Liu Zhiyuan is to her cold-blooded son.
So, better.
As long as people have weaknesses, they naturally have soft spots!
A calculating glint flashed across the depths of the Queen Mother's dark eyes as she sat there motionless.
She is the empress dowager and the emperor's biological mother. Logically, the emperor should greet her, but the emperor remained motionless. Not to mention greeting her, he didn't even look at her. His eyes fell directly on Liu Zhiyuan.
He clearly doesn't take her seriously!
Liu Zhiyuan didn't expect the emperor to come. She was stunned at first, and then her expression seamlessly switched to a pitiful and tearful one.
The speed at which her expression changed was unexpected. Xiao Yu didn't even see how her expression changed.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Zhiyuan's voice was filled with grievance. After she finished shouting, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
I was so exhausted while performing the ceremony that my legs gave way and I fell to the ground. “Ah~”
The ending tone of this "ah" took eighteen turns, with three parts tenderness, three parts artificiality and four parts pitifulness and helplessness.
With her hands on the ground, she weakly raised her pair of watery eyes and looked at Xiao Yu with resentment and pity.
Xiao Yu's heart tightened, "My beloved."
He quickly helped Liu Zhiyuan up and looked her up and down, "My dear, are you okay?"
Liu Zhiyuan shook her head, wanting to speak but unable to. She looked extremely aggrieved, yet she was extremely sensible and tried to keep the peace. "I am fine. Your Majesty, please don't blame the Empress Dowager. She did nothing."
But her expression clearly said, 'I'm in trouble, the Queen Mother is bullying me, kill this old witch for me!'
Xiao Yu, "..."
If he hadn't seen with his own eyes how she stepped on the nanny and slapped the Queen Mother, he would have believed it...
Seeing Xiao Yu's indescribable expression, Liu Zhiyuan blinked again and again.
What's going on? Is it because she didn't act pitifully enough? Why does the emperor look at her so strangely?
Liu Zhiyuan secretly pinched her thigh, and instantly burst into tears. "Your Majesty, I'm fine. Please don't let my presence affect the relationship between you and the Empress Dowager."
Xiao Yu, "..."
There was a deep disgust in his eyes. Who would have feelings for that disgusting woman?
The Queen Mother spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, why did you rush to my palace so hastily? What's your intention?"
Xiao Yu gently put his arm around Liu Zhiyuan's waist, brought her behind him, and tilted his body slightly to block her in a protective posture.
When facing the Queen Mother, his eyes were terribly cold. "Queen Mother, I should be asking you this question. What did Concubine Liu do wrong that you went to the trouble of summoning her to the Wanshou Palace for corporal punishment?"
Liu Zhiyuan lowered her head and took a look at her waist which was being hugged, feeling very uncomfortable.
Apart from her father and brother, she had never been so close to any man. This made her feel like ants were crawling all over her body and she felt very uncomfortable.
I really wanted to slap Xiao Yu's hand away, but then I thought about how he was trying to support me, and if I shook it off at this time, it would be too uncooperative.
I can only endure it.
The Queen Mother's brows darkened, and she sneered, "Corporal punishment? I just wanted to test Concubine Liu's knowledge and asked her to come over and recite some books. How can this be considered corporal punishment?"
The purpose of her calling Liu Zhiyuan over was indeed corporal punishment. She originally planned that she would not be able to recite it, and then take the opportunity to make trouble. Who would have thought that this woman, who looked big-breasted and brainless, was actually quite knowledgeable and could recite all of it!
This made her feel suffocated and she couldn't find an excuse to make trouble.
Yes, it was true that I just recited the book, at least that was the view of the Queen Mother and everyone present. I didn’t remember at all the beatings and scoldings I had received.
Xiao Yu looked at Liu Zhiyuan, "My beloved, is that so?"
Liu Zhiyuan covered her face and nodded submissively, "The Empress Dowager is right. She just asked me to come over and recite the book. She didn't ask Aunt Jia to slap me in the face."
The Queen Mother: “…”
Aunt Jia, “…”
Shameless!
The wicked are the first to complain!
Although they did have the idea of smashing Liu Zhiyuan's mouth, they hadn't put it into action yet. They asked her to recite the whole thing directly, and they had no chance to do anything!
When Xiao Yu heard the slap, his face changed. He quickly pulled Liu Zhiyuan's hand away and looked at her face carefully.
Her skin is in good condition, as white and delicate as porcelain, like a piece of flawless jade, and very delicate, and will leave marks if touched even slightly.
After she took her hand away, her right cheek was indeed a little red, and upon closer inspection, there were still five finger marks that had not disappeared.
Xiao Yu's anger instantly rose, and his tone seemed to freeze, "Who hit you?"
Liu Zhiyuan continued to cover her face, looking aggrieved.
Who hit it? Of course it was her who pressed it.
Her skin is tender, and when she covered her face just now, she used a little force with her hand, which resulted in a slap impression.
