The scene was once chaotic. Jin Xin held Hong'er in her arms and watched the emperor help Shen Yin up. Shen Yin hugged the emperor with a pale face and said in panic, "I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, the eldest prince is fine. Only now did I, my concubine." I still think that if those assassins kill me, they won’t kill the eldest prince again.”
When Chu Sheng heard this, he looked at her reproachfully, "Why are you so stupid? If anything happens to you, I will be heartbroken."
After saying that, he looked at Hong'er and saw Hong'er's face covered in blood, holding Jin Xin in his arms and crying loudly. The pain made him unable to control his crying at all, and he cried with all his strength.
Jin Xin hugged Hong'er and coaxed her. Seeing the chaos here and the emperor's tenderness towards Concubine Yu, she didn't even bother to say goodbye and took Hong'er to the back hall.
Leave the matters ahead to the Royal Forest Army.
Chu Sheng was also sent to the back hall under heavy protection.
Less than half the time it took to burn the incense, Gu Zhao came to reply and said that the assassins had been controlled. There were a total of nine female assassins. West of them died, and five were left. They were imprisoned and were waiting to be punished.
Chu Sheng looked coldly, waved his hand and said, "If you are going to be tortured, you must find out who is behind this."
Gu Zhao accepted the order and went down immediately.
At this time, Hong'er's injuries had been taken care of. The flesh on his lips and face was broken, but no bones were injured. The child had a lot of flesh and bleeding, so it looked serious.
But even so, Jin Xin still felt heartbroken.
Concubine Jade was also in the same hall. There was a screen in front of her, where the emperor was listening to his servants' replies.
The queen was also injured and was sent back to Kunning Palace at this moment.
Concubine Yu was fine, but she was sitting there, stroking her head weakly, as if she was feeling very uncomfortable.
As soon as the emperor came in, he walked towards her and asked warmly, "Are you okay?"
Shen Yin pretended to smile weakly, "I'm fine, I am fine. You should take a look at the eldest prince, he fell just now."
Jin Xin looked at Concubine Yu with cold eyes, "Had it not been for Concubine Yu's protection, Hong'er wouldn't have fallen. He was fine in my arms just now. Why did Concubine Yu suddenly think of hugging Hong'er?"
Concubine Yu's face turned pale when she heard this, and then she smiled awkwardly and said, "I was too anxious. I was afraid that something might happen to the child, so I thought of risking it with my own life. I just hope that they will let the eldest prince go."
But when Hong'er saw Concubine Yu's face, he subconsciously shrank next to Jin Xin, obviously scared.
They are all women, so why doesn’t Jin Xin know what Concubine Yu wants to do and pretend to be a kind-hearted little white flower?
"Hong'er is well in my arms. No one can protect his safety better than me. Concubine Yu is so kind. She should have thrown herself on the emperor to block the assassin's sword."
Jin Xin really didn't want to bear it anymore. She could stay calm about anything, but she couldn't stay calm when it came to her children.
Fortunately, it was only a little skin injury. If it had hurt her life, Jin Xin would not hesitate to die with her.
Seeing Jin Xin's sinister and cannibalistic gaze, Concubine Yu sobbed in a low voice with guilt and fear. Her tears immediately fell to the ground like a pearl.
Chu Sheng sighed and said to Jin Xin, "Concubine Yu also means well. The situation was urgent at the time, and she didn't think too much about it. In the end, everything is fine, so don't worry too much about it."
"I'm not fussy. I'm just discussing things. It's unreasonable no matter how you think about it." Jin Xin was a little angry. This was the first time she spoke to Chu Sheng with such an attitude.
In the past, no matter what kind of grievance she suffered, she always responded with a smile and would never displease Chu Sheng.
But when it comes to children, Jin Xin just can't bear it.
"It's my concubine's fault. Please don't have any quarrels with me, the emperor and your concubine." Shen Yin quickly spoke to dissuade her.
"Concubine Yu, please don't interrupt me when I'm talking to the Emperor!" Jin Xin said coldly.
Hong'er was also frightened by Jin Xin's loud words. Children are very sensitive to the sudden strong attitude of familiar people, such as their always gentle mother, and immediately started to cry.
Jin Xin quickly picked up Hong'er and hummed to calm Hong'er's mood.
It was a mess here, and Chu Sheng was also angry because of Jin Xin's attack.
"Concubine Yu, you are not in good health and you are scared. Please go back to the palace to rest first."
After Chu Sheng finished speaking, he said to the wet nurse, "Take Hong'er away."
Seeing this, the emperor was angry.
After everyone had withdrawn, Chu Sheng looked at Jin Xin and said, "You have always been docile, why did you grab Concubine Yu and act aggressively today? Hong'er's matter was also your fault. If you had protected Hong'er well at that time, why did Concubine Yu have to do anything? He was worried that if the assassin succeeded, both of them would die together."
Jin Xin knew that he cared about Shen Yin, but because of his feelings, could he lose his mind?
"The Royal Forest Army was present and the situation had been stabilized at that time. If I can take Hong'er away with me, nothing will happen." Jin Xin stood with calm eyes and an even calmer tone.
A man may not love himself, but if he doesn't protect the common flesh and blood and gives up his own flesh and blood for the sake of his true love, then he is really not worthy of his nostalgia at all.
When Hong'er was still in the emperor's belly, when he was still a prince, how much the emperor cared about him.
Why did he change as soon as Shen Yin came?
"I haven't questioned you yet. You knew that this banquet was of great significance, but you made a mistake when selecting the dancers. Now the ministers outside are dead and injured. You bear a lot of responsibility."
Jin Xin was stunned. Although the person responsible for this matter was arranged by her, she may not be able to take care of all the many things. The assassin's plan was meticulous, and the person responsible for selecting the dancers was supposed to delegate the power to the end. Should she also bear the responsibility?
"I was negligent in this matter, and I know I was wrong, but it is not something I can prevent. Your Majesty is aware of it." Jin Xin knew that he was trying to surrender.
He is the emperor, the master of all people, what else can she do?
The Jiang family is glorious because of themselves, but it cannot be their own source of confidence, because they offend Long Yan, and in return, the entire Jiang family lives.
Seeing that she was willing to give in, Chu Sheng looked much relieved.
"The responsibility is not yours, but you also made mistakes of negligence. If I don't deal with it and it's difficult to convince the public, I will remove your right to co-manage the Sixth House. You can take care of Hong'er with peace of mind and spend more time with your child."
After saying that, he went out.
Jin Xin closed her eyes. As soon as Chu Sheng went out, she sat down on the stool, her hands under her sleeves clenched tightly, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She still overestimated the father-son relationship between the emperor and Hong'er.
In fact, what Jin Xin thought about him was that as long as Hong'er still had the love of his father, nothing else would matter.
Concubine Yu had just entered the palace not long ago, and the emperor no longer loved Hong'er. If Concubine Yu gave birth to their common child, and it was still a prince, she would definitely be the first to be crowned prince.
That's really not possible. Anyone can give birth to a prince, but not the Jade Concubine!
Jin Xin took a deep breath and firmed up her thoughts.
