When Yan Shi and King Mu arrived at the palace, Emperor Chongjin just had a rest. Hearing that the two of them were seeking an audience together, they felt a little puzzled.
But when he saw the two of them, the expression on his face could no longer be described as shock.
"What... what's wrong with this? Cheng'er, why are you dressed like this? How decent is this! And your face, what's going on?" Emperor Chong Jin leaned forward, wanting to take a closer look , but King Mu lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. Emperor Chongjin couldn't see clearly, so he simply got off the chair and walked in front of King Mu.
King Mu still dodged from left to right, and Emperor Chongjin said, "Cheng'er, take your hands away and raise your head."
King Mu had no choice but to raise his head so that Emperor Chongjin could see it more clearly.
Yan Shi really didn't show mercy at all, the beating was heavy and ruthless, Mu Wang's head is now swollen a lot, his face is blue and purple, and he doesn't look human at all.
Emperor Chongjin frowned after seeing it: "Cheng'er, who beat you up like this?"
King Mu's voice was vague, and he secretly glanced at Yan Shi: "It's Big Brother."
Emperor Chongjin looked at Yan Shi again: "Jingchu, what's going on?"
Yan Shi said: "If you go back to the father, let the fourth brother talk about this matter."
Eunuch Le followed behind Emperor Chongjin and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to find some clothes for Prince Mu first?"
Emperor Chongjin saw that his son was really unsightly, so he nodded.
King Mu's tongue was out of his mouth when he was beaten by Yan Shi, his nose and mouth were covered with blood when he coughed, but at least he finished the story.
Eunuch Le took a piece of clothing and put it on for King Mu himself: "My lord, these are the clothes you wore when you were in the palace a few years ago, you wear them first."
King Mu put on the clothes, and he seemed to have some courage with the cover-up.
After hearing what he said, Emperor Chongjin's face darkened. After thinking for a while, he said, "Is this Jiang Qingyue Jiang Zhicheng's only son? Jingchu, your original companion."
Yan Shi said: "If you go back to your father, it is true."
Emperor Chongjin looked into the distance: "Jiang Zhicheng, this is a good official. He devoted himself to the court, and finally died of exhaustion in the government office. This man was very poor as an official, and his wife was poor when he died. I couldn’t afford the money for the coffin board, so I ordered someone to do his funeral later.”
"After Mr. Jiang and his wife passed away one after another, his only son Jiang Qingyue was lonely and helpless. After the son and minister left the palace to build a mansion, he was allowed to live in the palace." Yan Shi continued.
"How old is Jiang Qingyue this year? Can he participate in this year's Chunwei?"
Yan Shi said: "Returning to my father, Jiang Qingyue was only twenty years old and did not take part in the scientific examination this year. After the death of Mrs. Jiang and his wife, Jiang Qingyue happened to be at the age where she could take the children's examination. Because of the scientific examination, she was delayed. Although the three-year filial piety period has expired, Jiang Qingyue is preparing for the entrance examination for children, and it is estimated that he will take the examination next year." What Yan Shi said was naturally false, and Jiang Qingyue had no plans to take the scientific examination at all.
Emperor Chongjin sighed: "I remember that when he was your companion reading back then, his literary talent was very good." His eyes fell on Mu Wang who was beside him again: "Cheng'er, you..."
Right at this point, Eunuch Le whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is asking to see you."
Emperor Chongjin naturally knew what she was here for: "No see."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Concubine Xian burst in crying. First she saluted Emperor Chongjin, and when she saw King Mu whose nose was blue and face swollen from the beating, she cried even harder, screaming heartily.
"Emperor, how did you get beaten up like this?" She said while looking at Yan Shi who was standing aside, her eyes were vicious, as if a knife was about to stab Yan Shi.
Concubine Xian hugged King Mu and cried for a while, then knelt in front of Emperor Chongjin: "I beg Your Majesty to be the emperor's son."
"I beg you to be the master, tell me how you want me to be the master for him!" Emperor Chong Jin slightly raised his voice.
Concubine Xian said: "Isn't it just playing with a man? It's his honor to be liked by the emperor.
Desirable. Prince Rui beat Huang'er just for such a trivial matter, this is too unreasonable. Could it be that Prince Rui used his elder brother's status to bully the younger? "
"As the saying goes, 'It depends on the owner to beat a dog.' What's more, Jiang Qingyue is from my Prince Rui's mansion, and the fourth brother can do whatever he wants." Yan Yi snorted coldly, "The imperial concubine said, I bully you as an elder brother. Fourth brother, then before fourth brother touched my person, why did he put me in his eyes! Fourth brother's move is disrespectful, he disrespects me, naturally he must be taught a lesson. "
"Even if this is the case, it should be the turn of His Majesty to educate. Prince Rui really overstepped his pedestal." What Concubine Xian said was very vicious. Naturally, it belonged to Emperor Chongjin, she said that as if Yan Shi had already got an evil intention.
"If the imperial concubine is bored on weekdays, she should read more books to gain some knowledge, and don't think about stumbling people everywhere all day long." Yan Shi refused to lose the wind in the slightest, "Didn't the empress noble concubine hear the truth Ever? My younger brothers have done something wrong, so in order not to embarrass my father, I naturally have to discipline my father."
Concubine Xian choked on what he said: "Even if you want to discipline and beat so hard, Prince Rui's heart is too vicious. Who knows whether you are disciplining your younger brother as an elder brother? Or venting your anger through personal hatred?"
Yan Shi's stomach was bumped by the carriage just now on the way to Prince Mu's Mansion, and he got angry just now, and now his stomach hurts slightly. Yan Shi frowned, and didn't want to argue with Concubine Xian anymore, so he looked at Emperor Chongjin and said, "Father, there is something that I don't understand, please ask Father to explain my doubts."
"Speak."
Yan Shi said: "It didn't take long for the son and the fourth younger brother to enter the palace. After entering the palace, they came directly to see the father and did not talk to anyone. It was not long after the father knew the cause and effect of the matter. , but how did the imperial concubine find out about this so quickly? It came so quickly?"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xian shivered in fright. Why would she know about this! There are only two reasons, one is that Emperor Chongjin has someone she placed by his side. The second is that people from Prince Mu's Mansion told him, but even if there is no edict, he is not allowed to enter the palace, so how did people from Prince Mu's Mansion get in? If only the news was passed on, no one came in. This is the same as the first guess, there are people they placed in the palace.
This violated the taboo of Emperor Chongjin.
Concubine Xian was just anxious to intercede with her son after hearing the news, ignoring this point. Emperor Chongjin Jing Yanshi naturally understood what he said, and he snorted coldly at Concubine Xian. Looking at King Mu again, he said, "King Mu Yansheng, he acted against the decency, and ordered him to be confined in the mansion for three days, and to copy the meditation mantra a hundred times a day." Then he rewarded Jiang Qingyue with something as compensation.
Emperor Chongjin rubbed his brows. After all, this is a royal scandal. King Mu is robbing people in the street. I'm afraid this matter has already spread, and it will be useless to control it. If King Mu hadn't been beaten up like that by Yan Shi, he really wanted to beat him up himself.
In fact, the punishment given to him was not too serious, but now King Zhao is still confined in the mansion, and King Mu can't punish him too much.
Yan Shi naturally knew about this, and after paying homage to Emperor Chong Jin, he returned to Prince Rui's residence.
When he went back, he was still in King Mu's carriage, and he didn't care how King Mu wanted to go back.
When they arrived at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, they saw that familiar figure. Seeing that he was back, Hua Ling rushed forward and sized him up carefully: "Brother, how are you? Is there any discomfort in your body?"
"I'm fine, how is Qingyue?"
"Master Qingyue just fell asleep."
Yan Shi's stomach ached again, and he unconsciously put his hand on his stomach, Hua Ling felt it keenly, with a worried expression on his face: "Brother, is it a stomachache?"
"Some, but it's okay."
"Let Mr. Qu come and take a look."
Hua Ling supported Yan Shi and walked back to Nuanyang Pavilion, and Qu Liushang also arrived, he checked Yan Shi's pulse: "Some fetal gas, but it's okay, I'll make a bowl of anti-abortion medicine for the prince and he'll be fine. Qu Liushang was about to leave after finishing speaking, and suddenly asked: "How does the emperor deal with King Mu?"
Yan Shi then told the story of the incident, and then went away.
Hou Hua Ling was pressed on the bed by Yan Shi, making him lie down.
After Yan Shi lay down, she felt her stomach move again, and asked Hua Ling to touch it, but as soon as Hua Ling put her hand on her stomach, she stopped moving again.
Hua Ling gently kissed Yan Shi's stomach: "Little rascal."
Yan Chi took the medicine and fell asleep for a while, and when he woke up again, he felt much more comfortable.
"I want to see Qingyue." Yan Shi said to Hua Ling who was changing her clothes.
"I'll go with my brother." While speaking, Hua Ling put on all the shoes for him.
Hua Ling walked slowly towards Jiang Qingyue's courtyard with Yan Shi's hand, and when she got there, she saw Jiang Qingyue sitting in the courtyard reading a book, her expression seemed okay.
"Qingyue..." Yan Shi only called out his name, and thousands of words were condensed in this name.
Jiang Qingyue smiled at him: "Your Highness, you are here."
"Master Qingyue, you, are you okay?" Although Hua Ling was very calm on the surface, the jealous jar in his heart was overturned.
"Nothing, nothing really happened around." Jiang Qingyue said very relaxedly.
Qu Liushang, who had been secretly watching Jiang Qingyue from the other side of the wall, saw Yan Shi and the others coming, hurriedly got down from the wall, patted the dust off his body, and walked over.
"How does your lord feel now?" This excuse was quite high-sounding.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Jiang Qingyue's usually cold and expressionless face suddenly changed. After saying this, she naturally understood something, "Your Highness, did you have a fetal gas?"
Yan Shi said: "Just now I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, after taking Mr. Qu's medicine, I feel much better."
"Qingyue has troubled His Highness."
Yan Shi sighed softly: "Qingyue, I understand your intentions."
