Chapter 76 Regret...giving birth to me?
In Qingyun Palace.
Sun wiped her tears.
Wen Qingyuan lowered his head.
The mother and son looked as pitiful as they could be.
Huipin walked around the room with a crooked mouth, "...don't...cry!"
It was really hard for her to speak with a crooked mouth.
Sun stopped crying immediately and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Daughter, have you thought of a way to save your brother?"
Huipin was so angry that her crooked mouth straightened up immediately. She didn't realize it, "Mother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Your brother is confused, so are you confused too? The imperial examination is related to the foundation of the country and the pillars of the court. This is not a joke!
Wen Qingyuan is a spendthrift and ignorant, so you are also ignorant.
What else can be done to remedy this situation? The best way is to let him surrender to the emperor immediately. The emperor is benevolent and righteous, and I believe he will give him a lighter sentence."
Huh?
Her mouth straightened up because of anger...
"No, Jiao'er, your brother has committed a capital crime. If he surrenders, not only your brother, but also our Wen Mansion will be in danger."
"Since you know it's a capital crime, you should turn yourself in. How long do you think this can be kept secret? Do you think the emperor is a fool?" Huipin gritted her teeth, "When you were young, you favored your younger brother and ignored me.
I grew up, and in order to consolidate the status of the Wen family and to save your own face, you asked me to enter the palace to choose a concubine. Now look, Wen Qingyuan, the prodigal, is in trouble, and you know to run to my palace to see me.
Before the incident, you only came once in all these years, right?
Mother, I tell you, the reason why Wen Qingyuan has such an end today is because of your habit!
Now that you come to me when something happens, I tell you, I can't help you! You found the wrong person!"
"Jiao'er, you can't say that. Your brother is the only son in our Wen family..."
Huipin couldn't bear to hear it anymore and interrupted her directly, "Yes, in your heart, having a son to carry on the family line and prosper the family is the most important thing. A daughter is a waste of money and it's a waste to raise her. Now your son is going to die soon, and you just remembered that you have a daughter. Don't you think it's too late?"
"Jiao'er!" Sun slapped Huipin in the face.
Huipin turned her face away and stood there motionless.
Sun was stunned, "Jiao'er, I... I didn't mean it, I..."
She took a step forward.
Huipin sneered, "I just told the truth, and mother got angry and scolded me. Wen Qingyuan wanted to harm the entire Wen family, but have you ever touched him? Mother, put yourself in my shoes. Since you are so biased towards boys, why didn't you just drown me after I was born? Why did you let me live to annoy you?"
Sun sat on the ground and cried, "My dear, you can't say that. I gave you advice and helped you with the matter of the third prince."
Sun shut up when she realized Huipin's warning look.
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
Huipin thought this scene was particularly funny.
Wen Qingyuan was stunned watching from the side, "Sister..."
Huipin was shaking with anger. Why did she have such a family?
"Your Majesty has arrived--"
As soon as the tyrant stepped into Qingyun Palace, the three of them immediately saluted the great tyrant.
The great tyrant stood there and saw the redness on Huipin's face. He sank his eyes, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is here, and I am so happy. I have been looking forward to your coming to Qingyun Palace day and night."
After careful calculation, the emperor has not been to Qingyun Palace for more than half a year.
She thought the emperor had forgotten her.
"Come here, take Wen Qingyuan down!" The great tyrant said in a deep voice, with a ruthless look.
Huipin looked up, surprised, "Your Majesty..."
The great tyrant's eyes were filled with a faint chill, and he was intimidating without anger, "Are you going to plead for Wen Qingyuan?" Huipin
knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, your concubine..."
She knew that if she pleaded now, it would be useless, and the emperor's anger would still involve her.
Wen Qingyuan was taken away.
Sun was crying beside her, gasping for breath
. Huipin winked at her.
Sun couldn't hold back.
"As for the rest of the Wen family, I will investigate them. If they were kept in the dark, they can be exempted from punishment. But if they are guilty of harboring someone... they will not be shown mercy!"
Sun fainted when she heard this.
She was carried out of the palace.
It was already dark when they arrived at the Wen residence.
Lord Wen rushed out upon hearing the news, and only then did he know what had happened in the palace.
He scolded Sun for being foolish and his disappointing son at the same time.
"Sir, the emperor said that Sun was guilty of harboring a criminal. Considering that she is a mother, she will only be beaten with ten boards to serve as a warning to others."
The eunuch in charge passed on the message. Upon hearing this, Sir Wen bowed repeatedly and said, "I am willing to take the punishment on behalf of the lady."
"Sir, I cannot make the decision on this matter. You should go to the emperor in person to talk to him."
Sir Wen personally watched the unconscious Sun being beaten with ten boards. She was
beaten awake directly, and then fainted again.
...
In Qingyun Palace.
The emperor held Abao in his arms.
Di Zi'an did not follow him because he was afraid that he would be scolded again for his bad constitution.
The third prince stood aside obediently.
"Hui Concubine, are you hiding anything else from me?"
Hui Concubine was fidgeting, hanging her head, and her face was a little swollen. The emperor did not ask, so she naturally would not take the initiative to say it.
Thinking that the emperor was asking about the cheating in the imperial examination, she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you."
The great tyrant's breath darkened.
"Really dare not?"
Huipin bit her lip, "Your Majesty..."
The tyrant got bored and stood up, "Since there is nothing to do here, I will leave first. As for your Wen family affairs, a married girl is like spilled water, I will not involve you."
But regarding the life experience of the third prince, he could not just turn a blind eye.
Royal blood is not a joke.
But seeing that Huipin should not know that he suspects this matter yet, it seems that he has to investigate it carefully.
The emperor left with Abao in his arms, and the third prince found an excuse to stay.
Huipin sobbed and wiped away her tears.
"It's all your fault! Now, even mother's brother has been implicated, and your uncle has been sent to jail. Tell me, if you don't work hard to climb up, will mother and I ever have a chance to make a name for ourselves?"
The third prince frowned.
Over the years, he has listened to mother's words a lot. When mother told him to go east, he would not go west.
He knew that mother did not have a good life in Wen Mansion before she got married, and her grandmother did not like her.
Because of this, he wanted him, as a son, to be as obedient as possible and not to make mother angry as much as possible.
In this palace, mother is the only relative he is.
But I didn't expect...
"Mother, am I useless in your eyes?"
Huipin was stunned, "Indeed! I have accomplished nothing! I thought the seventh son was the most useless before, but now I think you are the most useless!"
I don't know if it was because of Wen Qingyuan's incident today that made her too upset, Huipin was a little angry, so she spoke impulsively.
The third prince smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "So... Mother should regret giving birth to me?"
