Lightning fell one after another, and rolling thunder echoed overhead.
Emperor Yongping quickly left the Qiantian Palace, after all, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.
The Qiantian Palace has been struck by lightning. For safety reasons, Emperor Yongping could not stay in the Qiantian Palace all the time.
Fortunately, this burst of thunder and lightning did not affect any buildings in the palace.
Just waiting for the thunder to dissipate, a chamberlain came in a hurry and brought news: When Dingbei Hou Xu Shuo and his eldest princess were walking in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, lightning struck the osmanthus tree in the back garden of the Hou Mansion.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree collapsed and broken branches were scattered. Both Dingbeihou and Princess Dachang were injured to varying degrees.
"Did you do something that was struck by lightning again?"
Emperor Yongping suddenly remembered what happened last time and couldn't help but talk to himself.
By the time he realized that something was wrong with his words, the words had already been spoken.
However, Emperor Yongping glanced at the servants guarding him, and they instantly understood that these words were absolutely not allowed to be leaked. Otherwise, these people will just wait to be liquidated.
Emperor Yongping paused for a moment and said slowly: "Go and check, what have my aunt and uncle done recently? Well, it's mainly related to my uncle's first wife, so focus on it!"
"yes!"
The chamberlain took the order and left.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the news came back.
When Emperor Yongping found out that his mother had conveyed a decree to Mr. Xu behind his back, or a decree to adopt Princess Yuyan to the Zhao family as a daughter, Emperor Yongping's expression was not to mention ugly.
Emperor Yongping, who had restrained himself for a long time, spoke slowly and said, "Show me the Renshou Palace!"
The servants moved upon hearing the sound.
…
When Emperor Yongping went to Renshou Palace to communicate with his mother, the Dingbei Hou Mansion was in a state of silence.
Dingbei Hou Xu Shuo and the eldest princess were both injured by lightning on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, but none of the maids and mothers guarding them were okay, not even a minor wound.
In such a situation, it is inevitable for anyone to overthink it.
Xu Huaizhi, the prince of Dingbeihou, received the news and hurried back. He almost didn't realize that the imperial doctor who came to Dingbeihou's Mansion for treatment was the Dingbeihou Mansion who came in front and back.
"Father, are you and mother okay?"
When Xu Huaizhi entered, he first went to pay homage to Dingbei Hou.
But the imperial doctor who came to Dingbeihou Mansion went to treat the eldest princess first.
"Nothing wrong, just some skin injuries!"
Dingbei Hou Xu Shuo waved his hand lightly. To him, it was indeed a skin injury. After all, he had been on the battlefield, experienced hundreds of battles, and suffered dozens of injuries. He was no longer surprised by these minor injuries.
But for the eldest princess, this is a fatal injury because it is on the face. If she accidentally left a scar, how could she see anyone
This is also the reason why when the imperial doctor enters the mansion, the eldest princess will snatch him away first.
"Father, my son told me that there shouldn't be any osmanthus trees planted in the backyard!"
"Let my son call someone to chop it down now!"
"Nonsense!"
As soon as Xu Huaizhi said this, Xu Shuo shouted sharply, "You are so stupid, you have also read the books of sages, how can you still be so ignorant?"
Xu Shuo looked at his second son angrily.
"Father, you are reluctant to part with this sweet-scented osmanthus tree, just because it was planted by my aunt. However, my aunt is already gone, and you still miss her. How can you make my mother feel embarrassed?"
"In this mansion, my mother is the mistress and the eldest princess. However, can't you see how she accommodates you in every possible way?"
Seeing his father like this, Xu Huaizhi felt very unworthy for his mother.
How sad is it that all your sincerity is wasted
"It's not your turn to worry about fatherhood!"
Xu Shuo glanced at his second son coldly, "Do your own thing. If you want to visit your mother, you can go there now. As for other things, they are not your business or your business to ask! "
"Father!"
Xu Huaizhi suddenly raised his voice, "Life is short. You've missed it once, are you going to miss it a second time?"
"go out!"
Hearing what Xu Huaizhi said, Xu Shuo suddenly raised his voice and pointed at the door of the room.
Xu Huaizhi looked at the furious Xu Shuo, and finally turned around and strode away.
…
After diagnosis and treatment in the eldest princess's room, the imperial doctor prescribed ointment for the face and Qingre powder to prevent the wound from becoming infected and suppurating.
As for whether the wound will leave scars, we will have to wait until the wound recovers.
The imperial doctor left, and Xu Huaizhi also rushed over.
"Meet Mother!"
Xu Huaizhi came in, first greeted the eldest princess, then came closer and asked how the eldest princess was injured.
"It doesn't matter, just take care of it and it will be fine."
No matter how worried she was, the eldest princess always looked calm and calm in front of her son.
"Mom, why don't you and your father live separately?"
"Your eldest princess's mansion is always empty. Isn't it a waste?"
As soon as Xu Huaizhi opened his mouth, the eldest princess's face changed, "Huaizhi, tell mother, is it your father who said something?"
"Mother, father didn't say anything!"
Xu Huaizhi said in a deep voice, "My son just feels that his father doesn't appreciate your efforts. Then why do you have to pay more? It's better to leave here and stay away from him."
"As the old saying goes, the fragrance is far away and the smell is near."
"You hang out in front of him all day, and he turns a blind eye to you. Why do you bother? It's better to stay away and wait until father is alone. Do you think he will still be like this?"
"Son, you just take your father too seriously!"
As soon as Xu Huaizhi opened his mouth, his words were shocking.
The eldest princess stared blankly at her son in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and spoke slowly, "Huai Zhi, tell mother, but what did someone say to you?"
"Mother, no one said anything to my son!"
Xu Huaiyi snorted, "You were injured this time because of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard. That was planted by Mr. Zhao. My son, you should have shoveled that tree earlier!"
"My son just told his father this, and his father got angry!"
"Mother, what are you insisting on? What are you fighting for?"
"The living can never compete with the dead!"
Xu Huaiyi looked at the eldest princess with hatred, "Mother, please listen to your son's advice and stop hanging around your father. He can't even see you like this!"
"You do not understand!"
The eldest princess smiled bitterly, "Mom knows you are doing it for your own good. But you don't know what's going on."
"Mother, what can be greater than your happiness?"
"What's the point of a day like this?"
"If you want your son's position as the heir apparent, your son would rather not be the heir apparent. My son just wants you to be happy!"
"By the way, there is also my little sister, please stop indulging her!"
"Is it fair to say that she didn't come even for a serious matter like your injury?" (End of Chapter)
