"General Yu served in the army for half his life, and fought for Daqi in the south and north for many years. He worked hard and made great achievements. The children of the Yu family could have lived a comfortable life in the rich Shangjing City, but they could only live a rough life in the yellow sand outside the Great Wall."
Jiadi said slowly and calmly.
Yu Shuyue didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, but seeing the increasingly evil look he was looking at Yuanyuan, her heart started to rise.
"But today this beast suddenly went crazy and frightened the queen. This is unforgivable. It——"
"Father, wait."
Before Jiadi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tian Kuang.
She is the only daughter, otherwise Jiadi would not only not even give her a look, but might even get angry.
"Kui'er, don't make trouble."
Concubine Shu pulled her little hand and whispered softly.
"It's okay, what's wrong with Ku'er?"
The emperor's serious and frightening expression softened slightly.
"Father, can you not blame Yuanyuan? Ku'er likes it."
Even though the little guy is only five years old, he is extremely sensitive. When he saw Jiadi's cold face, he knew what he was going to do next.
"Father, I can rely on you for the rest, but today it frightened the queen. If it is not disciplined, it may hurt people in the future. Compared with people, is this beast or human life more important?"
When the emperor said this, he looked back at Concubine Shu, as if blaming her for not disciplining Tian Kuang well.
Tiankuang wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by her mother-in-law patting her shoulder.
"Your Majesty, it's because I didn't discipline it well, and I'm willing to be punished."
Hearing the emperor's tone, Yuanyuan was afraid that something bad was going to happen, so Yu Shu Yuexin also raised the issue.
"Father, something is indeed wrong with this lion today. I think we should find out the whole story first. Maybe it is a human being who is causing trouble and not this ignorant animal."
"Is it because the emperor often runs to the general's house recently, so he has developed a relationship with this beast, and now he can't let go of it? But it almost hurt the father and the queen. I hope the emperor will consider which is more serious.
."
All the actions against the Yu family today were aimed at pulling Qi Xiuyao into this muddy water. Qi Xiujing was looking for an opportunity to get involved with him, but he didn't expect that he would jump out at this moment.
With such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?
"I see that the prince's body is not as weak as the imperial doctor said. Otherwise, how could he be able to travel in this snowy weather?"
Thanks to Qi Xiujing's words, Jiadi was reminded of the reason why he asked the Yu Mansion to bring a lion to attend the palace banquet.
It's all because of the prince.
"Ahem, Erchen's dilapidated body makes him feel powerless no matter what he does. He can't walk, run, and has no chance to ride a horse. Every autumn, he is an outsider. Now, because of Miss Yu's love,
It’s because of my love that I have the opportunity to touch such a ferocious beast. It’s hard to describe how I feel. I hope my father will understand me.”
In the past twenty years, Qi Xiuyao had never said anything soft to the emperor, nor had he been weak in front of him.
Every time, his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to be indifferent to what the emperor said.
This was a rare moment for him to surrender in front of him, showing his fragile side, and the emperor's pitiful love for him came out again.
"The Ai family understands Xiu Yao's feelings very well. This big guy means a lot to Xiu Yao. Your Majesty, please don't punish him."
Queen Ning Rong seemed to be pleading for them, but she only added fuel to the fire.
However, before Jiadi could get angry, Qi Xiuyao coughed twice, folded his cloak and said quietly: "Of course you should be punished if you do something wrong. It's not that I prefer Yuanyuan, but that I really have a lot of contact with Yuanyuan.
I understand that the incident happened suddenly. Yuanyuan had never been like this before. At first, I just suspected that someone deliberately angered Yuanyuan, but later it was confirmed that it was indeed intentional."
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Miss Yu was the only one who came into contact with the lion during the whole process. Could it be that you are saying that Miss Yu herself deliberately angered the lion?"
Qi Xiujing sneered and deliberately wanted to provoke a conflict between Qi Xiuyao and the Yu family.
Qi Xiuyao didn't even bother to look at him and signaled Hua An to find the man.
Hua An took the order and went directly to the crowd to bring out the sneaky eunuch.
When Yu Shuyue saw the eunuch, she thought he looked familiar. She frowned and thought about it and realized that it was another father-in-law who had just brought cakes to her, so he followed him respectfully.
She thought she was working with her father-in-law, but she didn't expect that he was actually here to plot against her!
"Your Highness, what are you bringing me here for?"
The eunuch was still struggling to his death, deliberately pretending to be dumbfounded.
Hua An went straight to his body and found a white porcelain bottle.
"Tell your Majesty what this is."
Qi Xiuyao raised his eyes and looked at the panicked servant in front of him. When he was still about to lie, he continued to say coldly: "The imperial doctor is on the side. You have to think clearly whether you should deceive me now or let the imperial doctor expose your cheap lies."
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I'm just...just temporarily obsessed with it. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Physician, tell me what this is?"
Jiadi's face was ugly, and he ignored the eunuch's panicked pleas for mercy, and asked the waiting imperial doctor to come up and check the contents of the porcelain bottle.
"Your Majesty, it's saffron powder, and there are other things added to it. It's spicy and irritating, and it can easily make animals lose control."
"You dog slave, you actually deliberately provoked this lion. If you collide with your father and mother, I will kill you with a thousand knives!"
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Qi Xiujing went over and kicked the eunuch in the chest. His force was so strong that the eunuch's body was kicked away not far away.
"Ahem──"
The eunuch was kicked by Qi Xiujing and spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally fainted.
"I beg your father to punish me. My mother was frightened and my son was so angry that he forgot to control his strength." This chapter has been completed!
