Concubine Shun was furious and stepped forward to push Hong'er again. Hong'er failed to stand firm and fell to the ground.
Concubine Shun pointed at Hong'er, "Did the Queen instruct you to do this?"
Seeing this, the servants around him quickly protected the eldest prince and begged Concubine Shun, "Concubine Shun, the eldest prince is still young, so you can't act recklessly."
The slaves nearby were frightened by such a change. Both sides were masters who could not be offended, so who dared to speak.
Xiaohui stepped forward in time to pull Concubine Shun, "My queen, please save your face first."
Concubine Shun was in severe pain. She knew that it would be useless to talk to this boy, so she quickly asked the doctor to tell her. Her face could not be ruined.
After everyone left, the eldest prince was picked up by his servants.
"My little ancestor, why were you so bold just now and hurt Concubine Shun's face? If the emperor knows about it, he will definitely not spare you."
"Pinch me!" the eldest prince ordered the slave.
How dare the servant dare? He looked embarrassed. The eldest prince kicked him and said, "Hurry up."
The servant had no choice but to pinch his arm gently, but the eldest prince felt that the strength was not enough, "Harder, harder."
The slave had no choice but to be brave and increase his strength.
The eldest prince watched Concubine Shun being carried away, but he was not in a hurry. He said to the servant, "When my father asks about it later, you will say you don't know. I will tell you the rest."
He did this on purpose. Who made her so arrogant, it made the queen mother angry.
He can admit his mistakes and never ask for mercy if his father wants to beat or punish him.
When Hong'er came to the imperial study, the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers. He knelt with his head upright outside the palace. When Huang Wanshun saw this, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling like this so well?" "
"Eunuch Huang, tell your father, I'm here to receive my punishment. Empress Shun pinched me just now, and I accidentally hurt her." As he said that, he pulled up his sleeves and exposed his arms. There were some pinch marks, and he couldn't even look at them. serious.
But the eldest prince just said that he hurt Concubine Renshun's face, which was no small matter.
Huang Wanshun quickly went in to deliver the message.
Not long after, the ministers also came out, followed closely by the emperor, who saw Hong'er kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
At this time, the slaves from Changle Palace also came to invite the emperor to Changle Palace. The emperor glanced at the slaves, said nothing, and then looked at Hong'er on the ground.
"You said Concubine Shun beat you?" the emperor asked with a frown.
"Son, I know I was wrong. Just now, Empress Shun asked me to go back to Dongfeng Hall, and I agreed. But she pinched me, and I thought she was going to hurt me, so I accidentally hurt her face."
After hearing this, the emperor was slightly unhappy, "Empress Shun is your elder. You shouldn't be like this. What did you use to hurt her face?"
Hong'er took out a small knife, which he used for crafts and always carried with him.
The emperor took a look and immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. The knife hurt someone, and Concubine Shun's face could not be seen.
The emperor suddenly became angry and stared at him for a moment, "Kneel down here and reflect."
With that said, he hurried to Changle Palace.
At this time, in Changle Palace, Concubine Shun was applying medicine. When the medicine powder was applied, she cried in pain. Her face was scratched with a long cut. The imperial doctor said that it was likely to leave scars.
When she heard this, she collapsed.
She relied on this face to achieve her current status. She knew that if she didn't have this face, the emperor would never look at her twice.
At this time, the emperor walked in. Concubine Shun saw this and immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
The emperor frowned and looked at her, his face covered on one side. Seeing that the injury was serious, he felt a little regretful.
"Can Concubine Shun's face still be cured?" the emperor asked Dr. Wen.
"The wound is very deep, and it will take time to heal slowly, and it will indeed leave scars." Dr. Wen said truthfully.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince deliberately hurt my concubine. To be so vicious at such a young age must have been instigated by someone," Concubine Shun cried.
The emperor was silent. He didn't believe how Hong'er could be such a vicious child.
"The eldest prince said that you hurt him. Concubine Shun, are you pampered by your attendants?" The emperor frowned and looked at Concubine Shun and asked.
Although he dotes on Concubine Shun, he loves Hong'er even more. There is no doubt about this, and Hong'er's injury just now is also real.
Concubine Shun suddenly became anxious and cried again, "How can I have trouble with a child? Just say hello to him on the road and he will hurt him. Your Majesty, I'm afraid this face of my concubine will be ruined. Are you going to sit idly by and ignore me?" ?"
"The eldest prince is already kneeling at the door of the royal study. This is considered punishment. I will find the best medicinal materials for you to treat the injury on your face. I will definitely let someone heal your face." The emperor said .
This attitude means that there will be no greater punishment.
Concubine Shun was angry and resentful in her heart. She was clearly harmed by someone. Could it be that just because he was a child, she would not pursue the case?
"Your Majesty, if the eldest prince is ignorant, then the person who instructs him is also ignorant?" Concubine Shun said angrily.
The Emperor's heart skipped a beat when he was reminded like this, and he also thought about whether it might be the Queen's instigation.
He didn't say anything, turned around and went out.
Immediately went to Kunning Palace.
In Kunning Palace, Jin Xin was still very weak and had no strength. She was just about to take a nap when word came from outside that the emperor was coming.
Jin Xin had no choice but to drag her sick body to stand up and salute, but the emperor looked at her with a cold face and allowed her to finish her salute.
Jin Xin felt the anger in him and didn't understand where he got such anger.
"Queen, Concubine Shun's face was injured. The imperial doctor said it will leave scars. This face cannot be seen." The emperor looked at Jin Xin's face and said these words, wanting to see her reaction.
Jin Xin was a little surprised when she heard this, "Why is Concubine Shun's face hurt? What happened?"
"You don't know?" The emperor looked at Jin Xin with a suspicious expression on his face.
Jin Xin immediately understood why he was so angry.
Do you think Concubine Shun's face was ruined because of her own doing?
How ridiculous.
"The emperor's words made me confused and Concubine Shun's face was ruined. Why would I understand? Concubine Shun and the emperor have been together longer than you have been in court. Doesn't the emperor know this better?" Jin Xin said displeased.
"It was Hong'er who scratched Concubine Shun's face with a knife. Hong'er has already admitted it." The emperor added.
Jin Xin stood up in shock, "How could Hong'er do such a thing? The emperor has found out clearly. Could it be that Concubine Shun framed her?"
"Will she use her face to frame Hong'er? Why would she do this?" the emperor asked angrily.
"Then how could Hong'er have the ability to hurt an adult? How old is he? Is Concubine Shun a little white rabbit with no ability to fight back? Why did the emperor think that Hong'er could hurt her!" Jin Xin was also angry.
The emperor's questioning was clearly suspicious of their mother and son.
"You have to ask the queen." The emperor snorted coldly and looked at her disappointedly.
Jin Xin felt a chill in her heart. All she expected from the emperor was that he would love his children.
If he doesn't even love his children, then what kind of father is he?
