Shan Xiu immediately realized what was going on!
Who else could have come in through the back window? Only Hongshi!
Without saying a word, Shan Xiu slapped Fu Hui across the face: "Get out!"
"Mother!" Fu Hui didn't know what had happened. He was still worried about Shan Xiu's safety. He covered his face and tried to look out the back window.
Dan Xiu, however, couldn't wait any longer. Without a word, she shoved Fu Hui out of the bedchamber and kicked him out with her last kick: "Get out! Don't ever come to Chengqian Palace again! Get out!"
After saying that, she slammed the bedroom door shut and quickly locked it. As soon as she turned around, she was embraced by someone she hadn't seen in a long time.
Immediately, Shan Xiu's eyes reddened: "Why did you take so long to arrive..."
"Oh my, my little darling, you've gotten even more handsome in just a few days!" Hongshi chuckled and ruffled Shan Xiu's hair. "What, you've forgotten about your son now that you heard your master is here?"
"Why did you take so long to get here!" Shan Xiu asked again, wrapping her arms around Hong Shi's neck, while burying her face in his chest and sobbing, "You really are..."
"Hmm?" Hongshi pinched Shanxiu's chin, lifting her face. Seeing her tear-streaked face and longing, Hongshi asked again, in a good mood, "For me, you're even giving up your son?"
"No more! I don't want to be Consort Hua anymore, I don't want my son anymore! I don't want Chengqian Palace anymore, I don't want anything! Let me go with you, I'll go with you, please... Waaaaah..."
Shan Xiu cried bitterly, but Hong Shi was completely satisfied.
He always said he was far superior to his imperial father! And he wasn't just spouting nonsense; all of his imperial father's women now bowed down to his virility!
"You'd do anything for me?" Hongshi asked again with a smile. Seeing Shan Xiu nod, he clicked his tongue and took out the small porcelain bottle. "Then take a sip."
Without asking what it was, Shan Xiu snatched it and took a big gulp.
It tasted slightly fishy and a little sweet, not very pleasant, but Shan Xiu still swallowed it obediently and showed her mouth to Hong Shi.
“Good girl…” Hongshi stood to the side with his arms crossed, waiting to see how Shanxiu would change.
This stuff is amazing. Just one drop made Lady Dong'e grovel on the ground like a dog, begging for his attention. What would just one sip do to Shan Xiu?
Hongshi looked on with anticipation.
"Auntie, Mother hasn't come out all day..."
Fu Hui leaned against the sunset, her large, grape-like eyes blinking as she looked toward the door of the bedroom.
Wanxia thought to herself, "If he doesn't want to come out, then so be it; it'll save me the trouble." But seeing how worried the child was, she still comforted him, "Perhaps Master is in a bad mood. Why don't you go out and play, Brother Fuhui?"
“I don’t want to go…” Fu Hui has reached the point where she understands things. Before, she didn’t feel anything when she had her wet nurse and eunuch with her, but now she longs for her mother’s love more and more.
Seeing him like this, Wanxia's dissatisfaction with Shanxiu intensified—she had long ago told her that treating Fuhui Prince well would always be beneficial, but she was beating and scolding the child.
How innocent are the children?
Seeing that the redness and swelling on Fu Hui's fair face had not completely subsided, Wanxia felt sad and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Fu Hui, would you like something to eat? How about I go and get you some butterfly pastries?"
Fu Hui nodded indifferently, and Wanxia left him where she was, went out to get a plate of snacks, but when she came back, the child was gone.
She put down the plate and turned to look at the young eunuch guarding the gate: "Where is the prince?"
"Aunt, the prince has gone to play in the courtyard," the young eunuch replied after receiving Fu Hui's message.
The sunset sighed, "Well, it's good if they want to go out and have fun."
Little did she know that Fu Hui was also thinking about the noise he heard from the back window yesterday. Being a small child, it was easy for him to squeeze in that direction, and he soon found himself under the back window.
Whether she forgot or not, the window wasn't closed very tightly. Fu Hui quietly pushed it open a crack and listened to the sounds inside—hmm? Was it her mother crying?
Fu Hui pushed the window open a little more and peered out, only to be horrified—a man dressed as a eunuch was whipping his mother! He was making his mother cry!
Fu Hui trembled with fear. He wanted to run away, but he felt he should help his mother.
He wanted to shout "Assassin!" but in a daze, he saw his mother's bare back—
This scoundrel! How dare he humiliate his mother like this!
Princes raised in the palace are naturally mature, and although Fu Hui is only five years old, he already understands many things. He was afraid that if he cried out now and others saw this scene, seeing his mother being humiliated by villains, it would ruin his mother's reputation.
He picked up a slightly sharp stone from the ground with trembling hands, intending to quietly climb through the window. However, he was too short, and some noise was inevitable during the climb. But the two people on the bed were so engrossed in their task that no one noticed.
Fu Hui swallowed hard. Looking at the thug who was so much taller than her and how fiercely he was whipping her, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. But hearing her mother's increasingly loud cries of pain, Fu Hui mustered her courage, quietly walked over, and lashed the thug in the lower back with the sharp edge of the stone...
"Ouch!"
Hongshi, who was completely focused, never expected to be ambushed. He was using his waist to exert force when he was suddenly stabbed, so he instinctively lunged forward and fell onto Shanxiu.
Still somewhat dazed from the effects of the drug, Shan Xiu hugged him and kissed him, her mouth still sticky as she murmured, "Continue, don't, don't stop..."
"Mother!" The clear, childlike voice was completely out of place with this lewd scene. Hongshi shuddered, guessing who it was, and buried his face even deeper into Shanxiu's neck.
"Mother, what are you doing!" Fu Hui realized something was wrong. He attacked the thug, but the thug couldn't restrain his mother. However, his mother didn't run away at all. Instead, she hugged the thug!
"Mother!" Fu Hui stepped forward, trying to pry the thug away to wake his mother, but unexpectedly the thug suddenly jumped up from the bed, covering his face with his sleeve, and kicked Fu Hui without saying a word, sending him flying far away. Then, before Fu Hui could react, the thug, still covering his face and with his chest and stomach exposed, escaped through the window.
"There's a thorn..." Fu Hui endured the pain in his stomach from being kicked, and just as he cried out, his gaze fell on his mother, and he was instantly silenced as if his neck had been choked.
He couldn't believe it. Was this still his aloof and indifferent mother?
Was that woman writhing on the bed like a maggot, shouting "Give it to me, give it to me!" while frantically rummaging through the blankets, his mother?
In an instant, everything in Fu Hui's vision went blurry.
He dared not think about it; if others knew what kind of person his mother was, would he still be able to maintain his position in the palace?
