Chapter 311: Confrontation between young children

Emperor Mingxi sneered a few times and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, your children are not lost."

When the four heard this, surprise flashed across their faces.

"May I ask your Majesty, where are my granddaughters? Are they all right?" The Duke of Huguo asked anxiously.

"Good! They are fine!" Emperor Mingxi's voice became even more stern.

"Debao, bring them up!"

The four people standing nervously in the hall saw Emperor Mingxi act so abnormally, and their hearts beat even harder.

After a while, two tall palace maids carried Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou to the hall like chickens and put them on the floor.

Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou had cloth stuffed in their mouths and were tied up tightly. They fell to the ground and could not move. They could only raise their heads as much as possible and make whimpering sounds.

The Duke of the Guard, Feng Shulai, Yao Jinse, and even Liang Chaozong, who was the most thoughtful, were all panicked and at a loss when they saw this scene.

"Oh, Your Majesty, what did Manman do wrong to be tied up?" The Duke of the Guard was so distressed that tears flowed down his face.

Feng Shulai didn't care about being rude, and rushed to Feng Manman's side, trying to remove the gag and untie the rope for his daughter, "Manman, what's wrong with you?"

"Daddy, Grandpa, save me!" Feng Manman shouted hoarsely as soon as the gag was removed.

"How dare you!" Before the empress could speak, Debao shouted at Feng Shulai with a look of anger.

Two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, pulled Feng Shulai away, and stuffed the gag back into Feng Manman's mouth.

Yao Jinse pulled Liang Chaozong to kneel on the ground, crying, "Your Majesty, what did Zhirou do wrong that she has to be tied up?!"

"She is still young! She cannot bear such a crime! Can you untie them before questioning them?"

"Jinse, please!" Yao Jinse kowtowed vigorously.

"You feel sad when you see your own child tied up, but why don't you ask them what they did to my child?" Emperor Mingxi roared in a disgraceful manner.

This roar was like a thunderbolt that struck the hall. The four people who had red eyes just now were directly frightened and stunned on the spot.

Emperor Mingxi Xia Zhengqi has always been known for his kindness and benevolence. He has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he rarely gets angry.

The few times he did so were almost all in the court.

It was the first time that he lost his temper in front of a child.

The eyes of Emperor Mingxi were bloodshot, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked like he was so angry that he wanted to eat someone.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" The Queen saw that Emperor Mingxi was too excited, and comforted him distressedly.

"Queen, you come and talk to them. I really am..." Emperor Mingxi said while suppressing his anger.

The Queen immediately understood what Emperor Mingxi meant, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, this morning, when the palace banquet was going on, an infuriating thing happened outside the Zhonghe Hall."

"The Eighth Prince was bullied by your children, Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou."

"My granddaughter is well-behaved and cute, she is only seven years old, how could she do such a thing!?" The Duke of Huguo knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Zhirou is only eight years old. She is well-behaved and polite. She would never do such a rebellious thing. Your Majesty, please check it out! Is there a misunderstanding here?"

Yao Jinse said with tears in her eyes.

"Everyone, please listen to me first!" The queen waved her hand.

"This incident happened in the lilac forest behind the Zhonghe Hall."

"At that time, Princess Anguo went to change her clothes and heard a baby crying, then she discovered it."

"Princess Anguo and her nanny saw Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou bullying the eighth prince."

"Moreover, these two tutors showed no fear at all until the princess arrived. They even disobeyed the princess in person and were very disrespectful to her."

"If the princess's entourage had not invited me over in time, I'm afraid Princess Anguo would have been bullied by them!" When

the four heard this, their bodies shook involuntarily.

The Duke of Protectorate rolled his eyes and said, "They are all still children. It's possible that this was just a dispute and conflict among children while they were playing, and the Queen mistook it for bullying?"

The Queen smiled bitterly and said, "Duke of Protectorate, I understand your feelings."

"As their mother, to be honest, I hope that this is just a friction and fight between children, but the injuries on Chengtai's body are shocking!"

Then, the Queen made a gesture to Yingxue, and the director of the Imperial Hospital walked in.

The empress said coldly: "Zhang Yuanzheng is highly respected, and he is an old man in the Imperial Hospital. He has already checked the injuries on the Eighth Prince's body. Let him talk to you."

Zhang Yuanzheng saluted to the emperor and empress, and said with a serious face: "The Eighth Prince has a total of forty-seven stab wounds on his back. He was stabbed with a hairpin. The scars are shocking."

"There are eighteen bruises on his thighs, legs, and abdomen. He was kicked and beaten."

Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi shouted angrily: "Did you hear everything? This was done by your good daughters!"

"But Your Majesty, even if the Eighth Prince suffered these injuries, how can you prove that it was done by those two little girls?" Yao Jinse was so concerned that she didn't care about anything at this time and questioned.

"Okay, okay! I will make you convinced!" Emperor Mingxi gritted his teeth.

"Bring up the Eighth Prince and Princess Anguo, untie them, and confront them face to face!"

Before long, the Eighth Prince and Xia Miaoyuan came up from the back hall.

The Eighth Prince had taken medicine, changed his clothes, and rested for a while, and he felt much better.

Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou were untied and knelt in the hall.

"Chengtai, tell me everything that happened today." Emperor Mingxi's eyes were gentle. When the Eighth Prince met his father's gaze, he felt warm and full of endless strength.

"Okay!"

Next, the Eighth Prince told everyone the story again in a clear and orderly manner.

When the topic of Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou insulting him came up, the faces of the Feng and Liang families changed.

Emperor Mingxi looked at everyone with a cold gaze, "Feng Manman, Liang Zhirou, I want to ask you, is what the Eighth Prince just said the truth?"

"Answer truthfully and don't lie!"

Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou were already shaking with fear, as if they had lost their souls.

"Yes...it's the truth..." Feng Manman whispered.

"But, but Princess Anguo also hit us! It wasn't just us who hit the Eighth Prince..." Liang Zhirou said cunningly with her eyes rolling.

Feng Manman seemed to be inspired, her eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! The princess kicked my leg and I hit her shoulder!"

Seeing that her daughter had caught Xia Miaoyuan's fault, Yao Jinse took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, Queen, although the Eighth Prince and Princess Anguo are the daughters of the royal family, Liang Zhirou is also the apple of our eyes. You two can't be so partial!"

[Damn it, it turns out that the mother of the little evil girl is not a pushover! 】Xia Miaoyuan glanced at Yao Jinse and felt a surge of anger.
