Chapter 17 Live Broadcast
Hundreds of people came to the Zhonghe Hall in a huge crowd. The scene was spectacular.
Several eunuchs carrying trays of wine and food were petrified on the road. Even the sparrows foraging on the grass were frightened and flew away. Xia
Miaoyuan lay in the arms of the nanny, thinking hard all the way.
[Oh, did Erguoguo really get into trouble in the Zhonghe Hall? ]
[It doesn't seem like it. I saw him pretending to be drunk at the banquet just now. His mind was still clear. How could he do such a thing? ]
[Could it be because Shu Li Lanxiang's plan to frame Erguoguo in his bedroom was ruined, and Concubine Jiang framed Erguoguo in the Zhonghe Hall again? 】
【Oh, my mind is so confused! I hope it's not Erguo, God bless! 】
Xia Miaoyuan muttered to herself, and in a blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager and her group had already walked to the Zhonghe Hall.
Xia Zhengqi waved his hand and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to stay outside the courtyard for the time being. He led the Empress Dowager and the Empress and walked quietly into the courtyard.
【Empress Mother, don't leave me, I want to see it too! 】
Xia Miaoyuan was afraid that the nanny who was holding her would also stay outside the courtyard, so she kicked her little feet desperately and babbled.
The Empress looked down at Xia Miaoyuan gently and hugged her.
【Mother understands me, mother is great! 】
Xia Miaoyuan cheered.
The Zhonghe Hall was not big, and the small courtyard in front of the hall was only seven or eight meters long. Xia Zhengqi and his companions walked to the door in a few steps.
Debao, Yingxue and other palace maids who served closely crowded at the gate, looking up and looking inside.
Two guards, holding up their scabbarded swords, stood on either side of the gate.
Unfortunately, the gate was only two steps wide, and no matter how crowded it was, it couldn't accommodate a few people.
The people who were blocked at the back stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and looked inside hard.
The people behind couldn't see even if they stood on tiptoe, so they simply moved stones to cushion the view. There were
also a few brave people who secretly climbed up the wall and looked inside from the top of the wall.
Xia Zhengqi and others walked to the door of the house, holding their breath and concentrating, without making a single sound.
As a result, after just listening for a moment, they heard a woman sobbing for help and the creaking sound of a wooden bed shaking.
Xia Zhengqi, the Queen Mother and others changed their faces instantly.
[Wow! It's so exciting inside! Could it be Er Guoguo? He is still young, right?]
[It must not be Er Guoguo.]
The Queen hurriedly covered Xia Miaoyuan's ears, but she couldn't cover her ears with one hand while holding her, so she had to hold her tightly in her arms and wrap her little head with her arms.
[Queen Mother, what are you doing? I can't see anything! 】
Xia Zhengqi felt his anger rising, and kicked the door open with a "clang".
"Who is so tactless that he dares to break into my door!" A fierce male voice came from inside.
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jiang's faces darkened, and they looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly changed from being complacent just now to panic.
Xia Zhengqi kicked down the screen with another foot, and a wooden bed with the curtains falling appeared in front of everyone.
He walked to the bed in two or three steps, opened the curtains, and shouted: "Who is so bold!"
Through the opened curtains, everyone saw a man and a woman on the bed, who were in a stacking posture.
Looking at the edge of the bed, there were all kinds of clothes piled up in a mess.
Xia Zhengqi saw the spring scene in front of him, and even though he was full of anger just now, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment. He
quickly turned his back and shouted: "Put on your clothes and get off!"
The man on the bed took a closer look and found that it was the emperor and the empress dowager. He was so scared that his soul flew away. He grabbed a piece of clothing and wrapped it around himself. He jumped off the bed with his pants down and kowtowed on his knees.
"Brother-in-law, please spare my life, brother-in-law, please spare my life, I was drunk for a while. It was that bastard who seduced me!"
The empress dowager and Concubine Jiang were both frozen when they saw the man's face clearly.
The man kneeling on the ground, how could he be the second prince? He was obviously the youngest son of Grand Tutor Jiang, the biological brother of Concubine Jiang, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and the young master Jiang Zhichang.
"Ah...ah...why is it you..." The Empress Dowager covered her chest with her hands, unable to speak in pain.
Concubine Jiang supported her quickly.
Xia Miaoyuan twisted her little body and finally pushed aside the Empress's sleeves to see the wonderful scene in front of her.
[Oh, oh, oh, I was wondering, how could my rough guy Er Guoguo do such a thing. It's not surprising that Jiang Zhichang did this. 】
At this time, Lanxiang on the bed had already wrapped herself in a piece of clothing, trembling like a sieve and kneeling on the ground: "It was not me who seduced him, he forced himself on me. I...I was just changing his clothes for him!"
"You bitch, stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Zhichang showed a ferocious look on his face, and slapped Lanxiang to the ground.
"How dare you, I am here, how can you use violence!" Xia Zhengqi kicked Jiang Zhichang to the ground.
[The emperor father is mighty, the emperor father is so handsome! Yeah yeah yeah! 】
Xia Miaoyuan waved her fists excitedly, but the queen hugged her too tightly, and she couldn't stretch out her two little arms.
"Your Majesty, my third brother is not such a bold and reckless person. I guess he was drunk and the maid wanted to climb up the social ladder, so he lost control. Please show mercy, Your Majesty!" Concubine Jiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
[Humph, you still have the nerve to beg for mercy, treacherous concubine. If Jiang Zhichang is such a pervert now, it is also your fault. You spoil him and never restrain him. He robbed women outside the palace and played with the maids in your palace. Not only did you not care, you also covered for him.]
Xia Miaoyuan watched the show from the seam of her clothes and complained.
What? Robbed women! Played with maids!
Xia Zhengqi felt his heart beating like thunder when he heard his daughter's voice.
"Qi'er, Zhichang... after all, he is my nephew, so please do it for my sake, your uncle's sake..." The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she tugged at Xia Zhengqi's sleeves with both hands. [
Wow, old woman, if we talk about being shameless, you are second, and even the treacherous concubine dare not claim to be first, hahahahaha, it turns out that you Jiang family Shengchan are really shameless.]
[Old woman, how many years have you been using this trick to control my father? As long as it is about the Jiang family and the concubine, you put your big face and the big face of Master Jiang on display. If my father does not agree, you use the excuse of being unfilial to hold him hostage.]
Xia Zhengqi's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Yes, more than ten years, more than ten years.
Empress Dowager Jiang, his dear stepmother, has been controlling him for more than ten years.
When he was two years old, his biological mother, Empress Baili, passed away due to illness, and he became a motherless child overnight.
Even though the maids took good care of him, they could not completely replace his mother's love.
At that time, he often cried in his dreams and wet his pillow.
He, who had always been lively and cheerful, became silent. It was not
until a year later that his father married a new empress, Jiang Hui, the daughter of Jiang He, a founding hero.
Jiang treated him very well, cuddled him to sleep, told him stories, and took him to catch dragonflies in the Yu Garden.
Even after Jiang gave birth to her own child, she was still very good to him.
In his heart, he always regarded Jiang as his biological mother.
Because of this relationship and this emotion, he always found it difficult to refuse Jiang's requests.
For more than ten years, Jiang used the so-called filial piety to hold him hostage and torture him.
Now that the Jiang family is powerful and the empress dowager has absolute power in the harem, he cannot deny the blame.
"Please be careful with your words, mother!" Xia Zhengqi's eyes were fierce, and he flicked his sleeves violently, and the empress dowager Jiang's hand was instantly thrown off.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager, Consort Jiang, and even the Empress were all shocked.
What happened to the Emperor, who always obeyed the Empress Dowager?
