After a stick of incense, a heavy footsteps came.

Emperor Jing He sat in a sedan chair and got off the sedan chair at the gate of Yonghe Palace under the escort of a group of Qianniu Guards.

Zhao Shou, who was sitting in a sedan chair, quickly supported the emperor.

Emperor Jing He stood at the gate of the palace and saw a group of Qianniu Guards who were worshipping, as well as the seventeen palace maids and eunuchs who were almost unclothed and were wearing Qianniu Guard cloaks.

Qianniuwei's cloak was not very thick, and the palace maids and eunuchs were still trembling.

"It was them just now?" Emperor Jinghe asked Zhao Shou.

Zhao Shou had heard the news long ago and said, "It should be."

Emperor Jing He walked over and reached out to pull a palace maid's cloak, which scared the palace maid to kneel down.

"Don't be afraid, I won't be like that."

Jing Hedi quickly grabbed her, then gently lifted a little cloak, and saw the thin layer of clothes under the cloak that could almost be considered unwrapped, and the cold and purple skin of the palace maid.

He went to see the eunuch's cloak again, and his face became even worse and worse.

"Don't stay here, take them to the imperial doctor's side to take a look." Jing Hedi ordered: "Add a few more clothes to avoid frostbite. Winter will not be easy!"

"Abide by the order!"

The Qianniu Guards quickly helped the palace maids and the eunuchs to leave.

Emperor Jing He sighed, shook Zhao Shou's support, and walked into Yonghe Palace with great strides.

Zhao Shou followed and accidentally saw several eunuchs tremblingly kneeling in the door. One of them had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and was obviously injured.

He waved, and while walking, he asked an eunuch in front of him and asked in a low voice: "These are the few people who just stopped Prince Yu from saving people?"

"yes."

"Twist them at the washing machine and let them do the hardest and heaviest work."

"Old ancestor? You are..."

"Idiots! We are all rootless people, so we should take care of each other more in the palace. Even His Highness, Prince Yu, knows to stand up for his servants to help his servants, and they should help others bully people who are equally miserable! If I don't punish them, wouldn't I tell others that this is the right thing to do?"

"But they are also ordered to act!"

"Can't you act cheaply when ordered? Can't you give me some peace or ask someone to help me? Even Qianniuwei knows how to help, but they don't care about it! If I hadn't had a good temper in the past few years, I would have served you with a stick! Go quickly!"

“Yes, yes!”

The eunuchs below stopped and took a group of small eunuchs under him to clear out the scum inside.

Zhao Shou kept walking and trotting gradually caught up with Emperor Jing He in front of him.

After serving Jing and Emperor for about thirty years, Zhao Shou knew his character very well.

Jing Hedi walked so fast now, obviously showing anger.

Zhao Shou also knew that the emperor was definitely not angry with Prince Yu, but on the contrary, he was angry with the youngest son who was beaten to death by Prince Yu.

but……

Thinking of Concubine Chen and the emperor's favor for King Shou on weekdays, Zhao Shou knew in his heart that this time it might be that the thunder was mostly loud and the raindrops were small, and the board was raised high and fell gently, which was at most just to make King Shou regret it.

Of course, Prince Yu is not at all dangerous.

If the emperor punishes Prince Yu for this matter, the censors outside will make a fuss, and even the Zongren Mansion, King Zhengsu, would come to protest, and by the way, he would suggest that King Shou be taken to the Zongren Mansion and be imprisoned for a few days.

With the emperor's personality and his love for Prince Yu, he would not even say that Prince Yu was doing something wrong even though he knew that his son was wrong.

The emperor can't afford to lose that face.

Zhao Shou thought about it all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived at King Shou's bedroom.

The Yonghe Palace is roughly divided into two areas.

To the east is King Shou’s bedroom, a large courtyard where he lives.

To the west is Concubine Chen’s bedroom, and the size of the yard is three times that of King Shou’s bedroom. After all, she needs more people, and when the emperor comes, he must not lose his courage and rules, right?

Now the door of King Shou's bedroom is wide open, and the palace maids carrying hot water basins are walking back and forth. In addition to a few eunuchs, there are two men standing at the door, namely Prince Yu, Liu Mingqi, and Qianniu Weiwei Captain Xiong Dabao.

"See Your Majesty!"

When he saw Emperor Jing and Emperor coming, no matter who it was, he bent down respectfully to salute.

"Well, no gifts."

When Emperor Jing He arrived, his steps became lighter. He looked inside from the door. The curtain of the big bed was rolled up halfway, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes stood by the bed, looking anxiously at the sleeping little boy.

There was a hot towel on the little boy's head, and it was still steaming.

There were two imperial physicians next to him, one was taking his pulse, and the other was wiping his body himself, especially the soles of his feet.

"Oh, why did the trouble get like this?" Jing Hedi complained to Liu Mingqi in a small way, "This child is still young, you can teach him a lesson in a warm place, isn't that all?"

All right.

Zhao Shou smiled bitterly in his heart.

The emperor is still the same emperor, with a soft heart and a loving heart.

He was very angry with his youngest son's violent and unrighteousness, but when he saw King Shou so pitiful and unconscious, he became soft-hearted again.

Liu Mingqi was very familiar with the emperor and knew who he was, but he didn't hide it: "Your Majesty, in this case, I feel it is necessary to let Your Highness Shou know what it means to do to others what you do not do to others.

Otherwise, today he could drive people outside to blow cold wind, and tomorrow he would ask people to stand naked in the snow and ice. Over time, he would definitely die.

Will we teach him then? That would be too late! If the little minister could be the sect master of the clan, I would definitely not show him mercy!"

The emperor was a little embarrassed now.

He coughed lightly, "I'll just say this, have you taught me a lesson?"

"I don't dare." After Liu Mingqi said harsh words, she began to say good things again. "When Doctor Chang came out just now, I took the time to ask. King Shou was just suffering from a cold and his breath was not smooth. He would be fine after waking up and recuperating for a few days."

"That's good, that's good!"

Jing Hedi breathed a sigh of relief.

The medical technology and environment of this era are far inferior to those of later generations.

Many of the emperor's children died prematurely, let alone ordinary people.

Those who survived the disease and injury were lucky. Even if you were not lucky, it would be useless even if you were a prince and a princess.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, all the princesses' average life span was only over twenty years old. Can you imagine?

Since the youngest son had no worries about his life, Emperor Jinghe walked in with confidence.

Concubine Chen was all thinking about her son, but she only realized when she heard people around her shouting "Welcome Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty is in peace".

The moment he turned around, tears fell on the magical face of the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty~~"

She cried out wailingly, knelt down directly for the emperor, raised her head and looked at Jing Hedi with red eyes: "Your Majesty, our child, our peace...he...he is so miserable..."

Liu Mingqi was watching outside and almost applauded.

This tone that seems to be crying but not crying, this sad and distressed expression, and this sadness and grievance that resonate with people are completely a hit for a soft-hearted emperor like Emperor Jing He!

Sure enough, Jing Hedi's eyes also turned red. While supporting her to stand up, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, isn't that okay? Ah?"

His last word was to look at the two imperial physicians next to him.

The doctor Chang Yu from the Imperial Hospital nodded, "From the current situation, Your Highness Shou is not seriously injured. I will prescribe medicine for him. After boiling it later, I will drink it. By the way, I will burn the medicine for my feet, and then take a good restoration and will recover in up to three days."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Emperor Jing He thanked him and patted Concubine Chen on the shoulder, "Okay, you heard it all, An An is fine, don't worry, either."

"Why aren't they worried?" Concubine Chen leaned on the emperor's chest, "He... Prince Yu is too cruel! Why is he so cruel? Didn't he know that An An is the son of the emperor?"

Jing Hedi said, "You can't blame Mingqi completely. An An... An An did something wrong."

"What's wrong with him? Isn't it just because his beloved dog died, so he's a little bit of a tantrum?" Concubine Chen refused to give in. "He's only seven years old! At the age of seven, he asked him to be as sensible as Prince Yu and argue right and wrong. Is it possible?"

"That's right, but it's not good after all." Emperor Jing He remembered the palace maids and eunuchs he had just seen in the cold wind, and sighed: "The palace maids and eunuchs are also human beings, and they work hard in the palace. Do you know that if Ming Qi had not passed, they would not only be more serious than An An today, but more likely they would be disabled or even dead."

"He is a child, how could he want so much?" Concubine Chen naturally had her own logic. "If it is wrong, let's reason with him so that he can understand that he is wrong. Isn't that good? It must be done like this, look at An An..."

As he spoke, Concubine Chen was about to cry again.

She did not make a big fuss, nor did she scold Liu Mingqi in front of the emperor as soon as she came up, but instead adopted this soft approach, which has to be said to be very smart.

When Emperor Jing He thought about it, he also felt that it made some sense.

The two of them were speechless. When Liu Mingqi heard this, she shrugged without any hesitation, "Brother Bao, look, what does it mean to be a loving mother who is defeated? That's it!"

He said it was not loud, but for some reason, Emperor Jinghe and Concubine Chen looked at him together.

Concubine Chen's beautiful eyes glared at Liu Mingqi.

When Concubine Chen arrived just now, she had already cursed Liu Mingqi for a few words. If it weren't for her son, she would probably have cursed for another hour.

Liu Mingqi didn't feel that she was in the wrong, but she didn't bother to quarrel with the woman, so she gave in and refused to retaliate when scolded.
