Chapter 309 The direction of things is getting further and further away from their expectations

When the Eighth Prince said this, his tone was already very difficult, he choked and couldn't continue.

Xia Miaoyuan's mind emerged with the scene of the two vicious women insulting the Eighth Prince while stabbing him with hairpins, and her heart ached.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she came to the Eighth Prince and looked at him.

"Eighth brother, did they stab you?"

"Where? Tell me!"

The Eighth Prince choked and said, "The back..."

At this time, the Queen also felt a chill down her spine. Although there are many dirty ways to punish people in the palace, it is the first time in her life that such a young girl uses such vicious means to bully a five-year-old child.

Xia Miaoyuan tried to unbutton the eighth prince's clothes with shaking hands, but because she was too excited, she didn't even unbutton the clothes. The queen also walked up to the eighth prince and unbuttoned his clothes with her own hands.

The eighth prince's outer robe was taken off, and the queen immediately asked him to turn around.

Xia Miaoyuan was stunned by the horrifying scene in front of him.

He saw that the originally white inner clothes were already stained with blood.

Although each bloodstain was not large in area, there were dozens of them on the back, densely packed in one place, which was very shocking.

"You!" The queen pointed at the two companions with gritted teeth, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman were so scared when they saw their crimes exposed that they trembled all over and lowered their heads.

[Oh my god, oh my god, Xiao Ba is injured so badly!]

[Are you still not human? Calling you beasts is insulting animals.]

[You two are bad seed! Born bad seed!]

Xia Miaoyuan was distressed and angry, tears were already streaming down her face.

"Eighth brother, where else, where else?"

The Eighth Prince whispered, "Also the thigh, and the stomach, they kicked..."

Hearing this, the Queen immediately ordered Li Ma to carry the Eighth Prince to the inner room to help him check.

After a while, Li Ma finished the inspection and came out with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have checked. There are many bruises of different sizes on the Eighth Prince's stomach, buttocks, and thighs! There are at least a dozen of them! They must have been kicked."

Nanny Li's voice was a little trembling, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Nanny Li was a middle-aged woman who loved children very much. She couldn't bear to see children suffer the most. Now that she saw the Eighth Prince being bullied and bullied to such a state, she felt very uncomfortable. The

Queen felt her heart beating like thunder and her face was hot. "You are so brave!"

"Bullying the prince and abusing the heir to the throne!"

"You dare to talk nonsense about the harem!"

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman were already shaking.

They never thought that things would develop like this.

At the palace banquet today, the Emperor announced the matter of the Empress Dowager and Lipin. They heard their family members discussing it secretly and speculated that it was Lipin who failed and dragged out the Empress Dowager's rumor, which led to such an end.

Both of their families relied on the Empress Dowager in the palace. Now that the Empress Dowager is completely imprisoned, not only have they lost a support, but they are also likely to be affected by it.

Therefore, Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman hated Lipin very much in their hearts. Now that Lipin was sent to the cold palace, they vented their anger on the Eighth Prince.

Originally, they thought that while the Eighth Prince was alone, they would beat him up severely to vent their anger, and then scare him after venting his anger, so that he would not dare to say anything.

Furthermore, the Eighth Prince has lost his power now, and even the maids who serve him are just ordering him around and not paying attention. Even if the Eighth Prince has the courage to complain, he will have nowhere to turn.

They never expected that the three-and-a-half-year-old Princess Anguo and the kind-hearted Queen would actually support the Eighth Prince so much.

The direction of things is getting further and further away from their expectations, so far that it makes them shudder.

The Queen shouted: "Sang Qi, Yingxue, take them back to the Qianqing Palace first!"

Sang Qi and Yingxue led several palace maids and tied up the two reading companions in no time.

"Queen, please spare our lives!"

"Queen, please have mercy!"

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman screamed desperately, their faces full of snot and tears.

The Queen did not punish them on the spot, but tied them up to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, which was a very dangerous signal.

In other words, the Queen felt that this matter was too serious and wanted to report it to the Emperor for further action.

The two companions were so frightened that they collapsed and shouted at the top of their lungs.

Sang Qi decisively found two rags and stuffed them into the mouths of the two companions.

Now, they could neither struggle nor speak.

Soon, Yingxue asked someone to carry a sedan chair, stuffed the two people in it, and ordered the sedan chair driver to carry them directly to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

On the other side, in the Shanglinyuan Palace, Emperor Mingxi, Kezun, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess and others saw that Xia Miaoyuan, the Empress and the Eighth Prince had been gone for a long time and had not returned yet. They thought something had happened and were a little anxious.

At the guest table below, the Protector of the Country Feng family, Liang Chaozong, and Yao Jinse and his wife were also very anxious when they saw that their daughter had been away for a long time. They could not care about many things and secretly sent their followers to look for her.

In the Zhonghe Palace, the Empress arranged for two companions to be sent to the Qianqing Palace, and also arranged a sedan chair to send the Eighth Prince and Xia Miaoyuan back to the Kunning Palace.

The Eighth Prince was injured and frightened, and could no longer return to the palace banquet. As for Xia Miaoyuan, he was also quite shocked just now.

The Queen wanted Li Ma and others to send the two children back to rest.

Just as the sedan chair was about to leave Zhonghe Hall, a woman's voice came into their ears.

"Little Prince! Little Prince! Where have you been?"

Xia Miaoyuan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that it was Madam Liu who was serving the Eighth Prince.

"Madam Liu, what are you doing?" Yingxue walked up to Madam Liu and asked.

Madam Liu had sweat on her forehead and asked anxiously, "Miss Yingxue, have you seen the Eighth Prince?"

"Just now he said he wanted to be alone for a while, so I went for a walk nearby, but when I came back to look for the Eighth Prince, he was gone!"

Yingxue snorted contemptuously: "You are such a careless

and sneaky maid who serves the princes and princesses?!" "You are so careless and sneaky. You are treating the royal heir as a joke!"

Yingxue said the latter part in a very serious tone.

Aunt Liu took two steps back as if by reflex, and murmured: "Miss Yingxue has really wronged me."

Before Aunt Liu wanted to argue, the queen stood at the door of Zhonghe Hall and made a gesture to Yingxue.

Yingxue immediately grabbed Aunt Liu by the back of the collar and dragged her to Zhonghe Hall, "Let's go! The queen wants to ask you a question!"

When Aunt Liu heard the queen, her legs went weak and she almost fell down.
