"Xiaodouzi was taken away by my aunt, what ......did you do to him?"

After eating, I took a nap, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go to the study and get out of school. As expected, Hongli broke into the house in a hurry, and even An forgot to ask about Xiaodouzi's whereabouts, and his tone was still questioning.

I looked behind Hongli, and didn't see Hongli follow, so I gave Xu Fuduo a look, asked him to lead all the people in the house down and cover the door of the house, and then smiled quietly and quipped: "Look at you in a hurry, what kind of person can make you even ignore the number of courtesies?"

Hongli listened to my words, and also felt that he was rude, although he was anxious, but he still bowed respectfully, and then couldn't bear it, and said worriedly: "I just went back to Brother's office, and I heard that my aunt brought Xiaodouzi over for questioning, and later asked people to send a message to Brother's office, saying that they left people behind. So...... So...... I'll ask if that's the case......"

Hongli's voice became smaller and quieter as he spoke, and the expression on his face became more and more cramped.

"Since you know that people were brought in by me for questioning, and then stayed, why are you still in such a hurry to look for someone? It's just a little minion, and he can make the dignified fourth elder brother even ignore the number of courtesies, do you think I, as an aunt, shouldn't ask about it? Or should I let your mother ask directly?" I put away the smile on my face and stared solemnly at the child in front of me who I watched grow up.

Hongli bowed his head in embarrassment and remained silent, with some indignation in his expression. With his cleverness, he should have understood what I noticed, although I don't know how much I know, but as a filial piety, he naturally doesn't want to let Qian be angry and worried about him, but Xiaodouzi's provocation in front of him before has already had some effect, and at this time, in his heart, he may think that I am retaliating against Xiaodouzi, and I am also deliberately pinching him.

In the face of Hongli's reaction, I sighed helplessly and said: "In the past few days since you entered the palace, you have read a lot of sage books, and the masters in the study must have taught a lot of principles for dealing with people. Don't you still know that if you listen to each other, you will believe in the dark? I and your E-Niang have been supporting each other in the hidden mansion for decades, my character and behavior, how do I treat her, everything I say and do, why do you only believe in the provocation of others, but do not personally ask your E-Niang for verification?"

"But Xiaodouzi is also worried about me so I said this, he is young, maybe he was used by others, otherwise how did he know about the things in the hidden mansion, and how did he know about the things in Jingren Palace. Xiaodouzi is also a person around me, if my aunt thinks that Xiaodouzi said something wrong and did something wrong, she should also be handed over to me to deal with, how can she take people away while I am away. After listening to my words, Hongli's attitude was a little loose, but he still argued strongly.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are about to enter the period of adolescent rebellion, and instead of reprimanding them harshly, it is better to make it clear and let them think about right and wrong and what is at stake.

I got up and pulled Hongli to sit on the couch, put a plate of his favorite snacks on the table in front of him, and continued: "In your heart, my aunt is such an unreasonable person? But let's not talk about the big crime of stirring up discord by playing right and wrong, and if you add the matter of seducing the prince to defile the harem, can this little bean still live?"

After hearing this, Hongli stood up suddenly, his little face turned pale, his lips opened slightly, but he couldn't make any sound, just looked at me in horror.

But looking at Hongli's reaction, you can know that the things Xu Fuduo said are true nine times out of ten. He sat down on the couch and patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to panic.

"If it's just because of what Xiaodouzi said that he is going to be sent out, I will definitely not send someone to bring him over for questioning, and then make you hate me. You must know that there are many simple and clean ways to dispose of a few palace people without leaving a trace in this palace, haven't you seen it, haven't you heard of it?"

Hongli's lips moved, as if he wanted to speak, but he still wanted to speak and stopped holding back, pursing his lips and thinking about something.

"There is no impermeable wall in this world, and some things are not a big deal if they are put on those gentlemen outside the palace, but you are not them, and it is not only the aunt in this palace who will arrange eyeliner everywhere, as a prince, do you know how many people are watching your every move? Fortunately, the aunt found out early, if this matter is told by someone who knows about it, do you know how much trouble it will cause?"

I vaguely said what I should say carefully, these words were only half a sentence, but with Hongli's mind and intelligence, even if he is still a teenager, he can understand it at all.

Hongli listened to me quietly, and after thinking for a long time, he said with guilt: "Auntie, I know it's wrong. ”

Seeing that he could take the initiative to admit his mistakes, I felt a lot more comfortable. Hongli's liking for Xiaodouzi is just a young man's temporary playfulness, and he can figure out the stakes for himself, and he doesn't need me to say more.

It's just that I don't know how much the previous rumors about Hongyang and those words that sow discord have affected him, and I am still worried that he still has a knot in his heart, so I said: "Auntie knows that those rumors in the womb these days may make you feel a little unhappy, but not to mention how your emperor Ama plans, my aunt can guarantee that Hongday will never have the heart to fight with you." But you still have a third elder brother above, so many years you can also see that his mother and we are not all the way, now he is an adult, if we fall into the divisive plan of the hearted people, the result of the competition between the snipe and the clam will only be the profit of the fisherman. If he is on the throne, we will definitely not survive. Now that you have your own opinions, you must know that we are the ones who share honor and disgrace on a rope. Aunt will do her best to help you, and Hongsun will be your help, not a hindrance. At present, your Emperor Ama really values Hongtian very much, but if you really have the heart to make him the prince, how can you allow him to learn the affairs that the courtiers should do? Whether you believe it or not, my aunt wants you to think carefully about what you should do. ”

After a few words, the awkwardness that Hongli exuded when he first came finally dissipated a lot. After eating a piece of pastry in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "What about it...... Little Beans ...... He ......"

"He's fine, he's a cultivator, but staying by your side is a disaster, don't worry about it anymore, put it next to your aunt and train him, and you won't treat him badly. My aunt won't tell your aunt about this matter, just if it hasn't happened, the people who know about it on Brother's side, you can watch and deal with it yourself, and this kind of thing will not happen in the future. You have also grown up, and in a few days, your aunt will discuss with your mother to choose a lovely maid to serve you by your side, so that you can take care of it, and then ask your emperor Ama to give you a good family affair next year. ”

People are not grass and trees, and they know that if they don't explain the whereabouts of Xiaodouzi to this child, he will not be at ease. However, the meaning of the words is also very clear, Xiaodouzi can no longer be placed by his side, and the people in the elder brother's office who know about this matter, as long as they are not cronies and reliable, must be dealt with. This matter is left to him, and the prince at this age should also learn to kill decisively. People who survive in this environment can have completely clean hands without anyone.
