When the prince rushed to Xinghua Palace, he saw a scene of chaos.

He had come to Xinghua Palace countless times, and each time it was deserted. This was the first time it was so lively, yet it was like this.

When everyone saw the prince, they naturally would not stop him.

Eunuch Huang was guarding outside the Xinghua Palace. When he saw the prince from afar, he hurried to meet him.

"Your Highness!"

The prince was anxious and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Huang, how is my third brother?"

Eunuch Huang's face turned pale before he even opened his mouth.

"The Third Prince was in a very critical condition. Fortunately, he was saved, but his body was too weak and he has not yet regained consciousness."

"Your Majesty, the Empress, Consort Jing, and the Second Princess are all waiting inside."

Upon hearing this, the prince's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he let out a long sigh.

It's rescued...It's good that it's rescued!

He did not enter the hall immediately, but frowned and asked, "Eunuch Huang, why did my third brother suddenly..."

Huang Pei sighed deeply, knowing that the prince would know about this matter sooner or later, so he did not hide anything and told the prince everything that had just happened.

Although the prince already knew what was going on, he was still frightened when he heard Huang Pei's terrifying words.

When the Crown Prince heard Concubine Jing's grief-stricken reaction, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He knew that Concubine Jing's indifference and disappointment were a source of worry for his third brother.

If Concubine Jing really cared about my third brother, why did she treat him so coldly? If he had the warmth and love from his biological mother, he might not have been so determined to abandon everything...

"Jing'er! Jing'er, you're awake!"

At this time, the loud voice of Concubine Jing was heard from the palace.

Huang Pei said with joy: "Your Highness, it seems that the Third Prince has woken up--"

Before Huang Pei could finish his words, the prince had already walked past him and walked quickly into the hall.

Huang Pei was slightly stunned when he saw this.

He could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cared about the Third Prince.

Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, nothing could be better...

His Majesty has suffered such an unexpected disaster. I believe that after this incident, His Majesty will also feel more sympathy for His Majesty and Concubine Jing.

But how could such rumors spread in the palace for no reason?

The Third Prince and the Second Princess are twins. Although they don't look alike, everyone saw how big Concubine Jing's belly was back then.

If there is any doubt about the bloodline, it is clearly the one who has not yet returned to the capital——

When his thoughts reached this point, Huang Pei shuddered hard!

At this moment, countless thoughts were flying in his mind. Suddenly, he looked up at the prince who was walking into the main hall, and his heart was filled with shock!

Difficult...is it possible!

The prince walked into the Xinghua Palace and saw his father sitting beside the couch, his mother and second sister standing behind him, while Concubine Jing was kneeling beside the couch, holding her third brother's hand tightly.

The third brother’s face was as pale as paper, and he lay on the couch, looking extremely weak. It was unbearable to look at him any longer.

"Jing'er, you.....how can you be so stupid! If something happens to you, what will your mother do?"

Concubine Jing spoke in a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face, the shock and panic on her face did not seem fake.

The third prince raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Jing who was right in front of him. At this moment, his whole body was as cold as if buried in the snow, but there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

"Mother..."

Did his mother care about him? Did his mother shed tears because he was dying?

He forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth and whispered softly, "The child is fine, mother, don't cry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Jing's tears flowed even more violently.

On the way to Xinghua Palace just now, her mind was in a mess.

She felt ecstasy when Jing'er was born, then grief and anger when she discovered Jing'er was born with congenital deficiencies, and then disappointment when all the medicines she tried were ineffective. Until she heard the bad news just now, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

She is an incompetent mother, even incompetent and despicable!

For so many years, she had been avoiding the fact that she had given birth to a sickly son, feeling that he brought shame upon her, and even blaming the emperor's neglect on him.

In fact, she knew clearly in her heart, what was Jing'er's fault? He was born unfortunate.

Besides, with Yu Liu around, no one can get into the emperor's heart.

But she...she could never let go of her knot in her heart, especially when she saw that the crown prince was like the bright moon, the second prince was like a beautiful jade, and even the fourth prince who was born later was smart and clever, like a burning flame.

Why is it that her son is such a sickly child?

Until just now, I heard that Jing'er was in danger...

At that moment, all the glory, grace, bright moon and beautiful jade were no longer important. Her heart was broken and she felt endless regret. All she could remember in her mind was Jing'er's goodness.

"Jing'er, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. It has always been mother's fault. It is mother who is blind and heartless."

"Mother is totally wrong. Nothing is more important than you and Bi'er. Jing'er, please be well. Mother begs you to be well."

Concubine Jing placed her face in the palm of the Third Prince's hand, feeling the coldness and tenderness of her son's fingertips, and her heart was instantly broken.

How stupid she was. Over the years, she had pushed her son into the abyss with her own hands.

The second princess was standing behind Emperor Yong. Seeing this scene, she cried so hard that her shoulders were shaky and she could not control herself.

Over the years, she had tried to persuade her mother till her mouth was dry and she had said all the nice things she could, but her mother still couldn't get over herself.

Now...Now finally...

But my brother's body was already in a terrible state. He lay there like a ball of snow that would eventually melt.

The Third Prince gently clasped his hands together and touched Concubine Jing's cheek. At this moment, his eyebrows curved slightly and he smiled with such surprise.

It turned out that his mother's face was so warm, like a hot water bottle stuffed into his quilt on a winter day, making him reluctant to let go.

At this time, his eyes shifted slightly and he saw his royal brother standing behind his mother.

The emperor's brother's face was full of worry, and he seemed to see a hint of blame on his brother's face, blaming him for not following the plan and for hurting himself on his own.

The third prince felt full of regret. He knew that if he confessed that he wanted to do this, his brother would definitely not agree.

His brother was a man of integrity and honor. Even as the crown prince, he never lost his original intention. How could he not do his utmost to help his brother succeed?

Now that he has barely survived, it seems that the King of Hell is still unwilling to take him, so he will... just hang on for a while longer.

The third prince continued to turn his head, and then met the gaze of Emperor Yong.

His father's majesty and dignity were like an untouchable iceberg. He respected and feared him, and felt both admiration and resentment towards him.

"Father..."

The third prince tried to sit up, but he felt his vision go dark as soon as he moved his arms.

"Third brother, just lie down. Don't do such stupid things again. Your mother is very scared."

Emperor Yong was very unfamiliar with this child and spoke in a dry voice at this moment.

The Third Prince's face turned pale, and after a long while he spoke cautiously, "Father, I have slandered you, haven't I?"

"They said that I am not worthy to be your son."

"I think if I die, no one will use such words to damage my father's reputation, nor will it ruin my mother's innocence."

"I can't help but think... maybe I shouldn't have been born..."

At this point, the Third Prince's face flushed abnormally, and his breathing became heavier.

The imperial physician at the side was so frightened when he saw this that he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince can no longer bear any stimulation. Let him rest quickly!"

What this means is that if the disease recurs, there will be no way to save the patient!

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing looked at Emperor Yong in a hurry. Emperor Yong stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, go out and let the third brother recover from his illness."

Except for Concubine Jing and the Second Princess, everyone else walked out one after another with light steps.

Emperor Yong waited until they left Xinghua Palace before he let out his suppressed anger and shouted at Huang Pei:

"Huang Pei! Check it out for me! Find out where this rumor came from! I will kill all his clans!"
