Chapter Ninety-Five: The Twelve Sons of the Emperor

After the old grandmother left, Gu Shuiyue was thinking about the credibility of her words.

Concubine He was able to survive all the time, which shows that she has something to rely on, and this thing has always made the emperor jealous. If this thing is really an authentic map as the old lady said, it is really worth a lot of money.

The palace where Concubine He lived before her death was indeed very simple, and when the wind rose at night, the wind blew whirring, and she couldn't sleep well all night.

Sleeping until midnight, Gu Shuiyue faintly heard some crying.

Concubine He had just died, and there was no one, so the crying was particularly eerie at night.

The cry was still a little vague at first, but then it became more real, Gu Shuiyue climbed down from the bed, put on her robe, opened the door, and walked towards the cry.

The closer she got, the closer Gu Shuiyue heard the cry mixed with some scolding.

"Little bastard, dare to steal something to eat!

"Tell you to steal! Tell you to steal!"

"Your madman is dead, see who will save you!"

"Dog mongrel, no one knows if you're dead!"

The invective grew worse and worse.

Gu Shuiyue walked over, and saw a hideous-looking woman holding a stick and smoking a child, the child was very thin, skinny, and only wearing a thin layer of clothes, which had already been pulled away by the stick, under the moonlight, the child was covered with scars, and his small body was trembling, looking particularly pitiful.

"Stop!" Gu Shuiyue shouted.

The woman turned her head to look at Gu Shui Yue, and said with a mean expression: "This is the son of the sinner He family, you dare to intercede for him?"

Gu Shuiyue instantly knew the identity of this child-the twelve princes born by Concubine He.

said that he was a prince, he was born unlucky, I am afraid that he is not as good as a subordinate, and now that Concubine He is dead, he is really helpless. With his status, I'm afraid he won't be able to live for a few days in this palace.

Seeing that Gu Shuiyue did not move, the woman was very satisfied with her knowledge of current affairs, so she ignored her and continued to smoke the child.

"!"

"Bastard!"

"Die with your crazy mother!"

I scolded everything. It's a very cool feeling to be in control of the fate of your own master. The woman indulged in this twisted pleasure and pumped harder and harder, eager to whip him straight to death!

The child's cries grew more and more miserable, and at last there was only a whimper, desperate and painful.

Suddenly, the woman's hand was grabbed.

The woman looked at Gu Shuiyue with red eyes, and her face was not particularly hideous: "What are you going to do?"

As soon as Gu Shuiyue exerted her strength, she threw the woman to the ground fiercely.

Gu Shuiyue thought of her child. Her child was killed by those men while she was still in the womb. Her child has not had time to open his eyes and see the world.

Gu Shuiyue took a deep breath and suppressed the blood in her eyes.

"You dare to push me!" The He family was originally the emperor's concubine, and she was bullied here, but this woman dared to push her! The woman was instantly angry, got up and rushed towards Gu Shuiyue to tear her, but before she could get close to Gu Shuiyue, her body flew out again.

Gu Shuiyue's kick was not light, and the woman didn't get up for a long time.

Gu Shuiyue looked at the child, the thin child, his face was covered with blood, only a pair of eyes were wide open, not as pure as a child should be, and it was extremely cold. A murderous aura flashed in the child's eyes, and he suddenly rushed towards the woman, screaming, and stabbed the dagger hidden in his hand into the woman's chest!

The woman apparently didn't react, and the child she had just beaten like a dog had killed her!

The woman's eyes widened, and she lost her last breath in shock.

The blood in the child's eyes faded, but he didn't feel panicked at all, but took two steps back, looked at the dead woman coldly, and then raised his head to look at Shui Yue.

Concubine He entered the palace ten years ago, and the age of the twelfth son of the emperor should be nine years old, but the child in front of him is extremely thin, looking no more than five or six years old. He is short and tattered, but he has already stood straight, even though he has a rough background and is not pampered, but after all, he is a royal son, and his childlike temperament is still different.

"Where's my mother?" he asked.

Gu Shuiyue said: "It's dead." ”

"Did Qu kill her?" he asked.

Gu Shuiyue was even more surprised. Concubine He committed suicide by herself, but she did die because she felt sorry for the concubine, and Concubine He's enemy was indeed Qu Jinlian.

After the child finished speaking, he dragged his thin body and walked in one direction, his steps suddenly stopped, and there was a terror in his eyes, and he instinctively took a step back.

"Ru Niang!" a middle-aged man called the name.

Gu Shuiyue instantly understood that this man should have come to find the woman.

In the night, a stout figure gradually appeared. The child turned to run in fright, but slammed it to the ground, quickly attracting the man's attention.

The man came over and lifted the child on the ground, unable to move no matter how hard the child struggled.

"Ru Niang!" the man walked forward, and as soon as he turned around, he could see Ru Niang's corpse. The child's face was full of despair, and his desperate eyes swept into the air, and finally landed on Gu Shuiyue, who was standing in the shadows, and silently made a lip shape - "Help me".

"Runiang!" the man threw himself in front of the woman's corpse, screamed miserably, and turned to look at the child in his hand, "Cheap seed, you did it!"

As he spoke, his strong hand grabbed the child's neck and lifted it up like a puppy.

The child's cry of 'ahh

Gu Shuiyue picked up a stone from the ground, flew out, and hit the man's hand, the man suddenly felt a sharp pain, and the child fell to the ground with a 'bang'.

The man turned his head in disbelief and saw a white figure in the darkness. Concubine He was already dead, and the man ...... "Hell!" The man burst out into a shout and quickly fled.

Gu Shuiyue walked over and pulled up the child lying on the ground.

The child hung his head, withdrew his hand from hers, and walked away in one direction without saying a word.

Gu Shuiyue followed behind him.

The child walked into a dilapidated room and tore off the bloodstained rags of his body, grinning in pain, but not screaming.

Gu Shuiyue walked in, picked a place to sit down, and watched his movements.

After tearing the rags, he washed the blood on his body with cold water, bandaged it with a clean cloth, and changed into clean clothes, and his movements were very skillful.

When he had done all this, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. His blood-stained face was washed clean, revealing a delicate little face, but on closer inspection, it was covered with some horrible scars.

How did this unfavored prince grow to be ten years old, and did he spend countless nights licking his wounds silently?

Gu Shuiyue looked at it for a while and left.

After Gu Shuiyue left, the child's eyes suddenly opened, and transparent tears fell, sobbing silently.

Mother, Dian'er will definitely avenge you!

On the second day, the queen led a group of people to surround the dilapidated palace.

Gu Shuiyue was also called out.

The entrance to the palace had been cleaned up, and the only mahogany chair sat on the most noble woman of the palace.

At the feet of the queen knelt two people, a stout man and the small figure of the emperor's twelve sons, Qi Dian.

"Queen Mother, he killed Ru Niang!" the man pointed to Qi Dian.

Concubine He committed suicide because of the destruction of the concubine ceremony and the intention of murdering the concubine, and after the failure, she committed suicide in fear of crime. Concubine He is dead, and her son is a curse. The queen just needed an excuse to dispose of the twelve princes, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come to the door.

The queen looked at the weak and shrunken figure condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "This palace has been in charge of the harem for fifteen years, and ten palace rules have been set, and Your Majesty is also very supportive of these ten rules. Under the rules of this palace, the harem and the princes also follow the rules, and there are no rules, and no one is allowed to break these ten palace rules. Article 10 of the palace rules states that the children of the royal family are not allowed to kill eunuchs and palace maids at will. ”

What the queen said was righteous and awe-inspiring, but Gu Shuiyue felt ridiculous.

It's so fake.

This rule is actually aimed at powerless princes, those powerful and powerful, if they really want to kill eunuchs and palace maids, they will make excuses for themselves.

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The twelve sons of the emperor, Qi Dian, are violent by nature and kill innocents indiscriminately, and his crimes should be punished. The queen decided the fate of the child in just a few words.

Qi Dian couldn't help but raise his head, his thin little face was full of disbelief, and his eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at the queen. He has lived in this cold palace for nine years, and he doesn't know how much hardship he has endured, he should have known that the world is difficult and people's hearts are sinister. But at this time, it was still difficult for him to accept the queen's trial. He's obviously not wrong, it's these two subordinates who want to kill him!

The kneeling man showed a pleased smile, Runiang, I have avenged you! There is a prince to accompany you to the funeral, and the Huangquan Road is also more stable.

"There are people who insult the Holy One, and the scolding is unbearable. In order to protect the reputation of the Holy Lord, the Twelve Princes fought with their lives in anger and killed the great rebels, should they also die?" Gu Shuiyue suddenly said in a loud voice.

Gu Shuiyue's eyes swept over Qi Dian. The child immediately reacted and kowtowed towards the queen: "Queen Mother, she scolded her sons for being 'evil sons' and 'dog mongrels', and her sons have long been accustomed to her insults, but she can't insult her father! My father is the monarch of the world, and he is the lord of the Ninety-Five, and his status is so noble, how can he be insulted by a palace maid! Is it also wrong for a son to kill a person who insults his father?"

As soon as the words of the Twelve Princes were finished, the Empress's face became ugly.

Naturally, the queen did not dare to say that there was anything wrong.

This matter involves the emperor, so it's different. Regardless of the status of the mother of the Twelve Princes, he is the son of the Emperor after all. This matter was told by the Twelve Princes in front of everyone's eyes, and if she disposed of the Twelve Princes again, it would reach the ears of the Emperor...... The emperor may not want the twelve princes to die, but he does not like this way of being criticized.

The queen gritted her teeth and said: "This palace people dare to act so boldly, it is the palace that blames you, get up quickly." ”

The Twelve Princes did not get up, but pointed to the man kneeling beside him and said: "Queen Mother, he also scolded his father, but the sons can't beat him, and the sons want to kill him!"

The man panicked, he didn't expect that the child who had been bullied by him in the past would show such a fierce expression.

"Your Highness, the slave didn't have it, it was all done by that woman! Your Highness will not vent your resentment against that woman on the slave, for the sake of the slave who has served His Highness for nine years, please Your Highness don't wronged the slave!" the man kowtowed to the Twelve Princes and said.

He and the woman often bullied their sons, and insulted their fathers, and asked the queen to be the sons and daughters. The twelve princes kowtowed towards the queen, "The sons are too young to beat him, and they can't maintain the honor of their fathers, if he doesn't die, the sons have no face to see their father, and the sons are willing to die to apologize." ”

The Twelve Princes knew how to threaten her at such a young age!

The queen's face was cloudy, and she said after a while: "The twelve princes are very happy with their filial piety. Pull this slave down and kill him with a rod. ”

The man was pulled down, and the pig-like howls and begs for mercy faded away.

The Twelve Princes lowered their eyes, hiding the coldness and pleasure in them.

The queen glanced at Gu Shuiyue, sneered, and left with a kind of palace maid guard.
