This slap not only stunned Liu Ying, but also the two children.

Liu Chang subconsciously took a few steps back, he was often beaten, but his mother spanked his ass every time, never hit him in the face, he saw that the second brother's face was instantly red and swollen, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to intercede for him.

"Please don't be angry! Forgive the Prince! ”

Liu Heng hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Liu Ying, but Liu Chang raised his head and pretended not to see anything, he was not afraid of being beaten, but he just felt that it was natural for a mother to educate her son, and he should not interfere as a king.

Empress Lu didn't scold Liu Heng, but said calmly: "It's okay, you can leave first... I'm going to talk to the prince alone. ”

"The prince is also kind, and he will be punished lightly after looking at his mother!"

Liu Heng said again, and then turned to leave, Liu Chang's eyes widened, what about me? What about the king?

"The Queen Mother...."

Liu Ying lowered her head and choked up.

"You want to die? Do you think it would be easy for me to raise you this big? ”

"Who are you worth?"

"Who told you to do this?!"

As Empress Lu spoke, several consecutive slaps fell on Liu Ying's body, Liu Ying bowed her head and said nothing, but tears appeared in Empress Lu's eyes, and Liu Chang was dumbfounded.

Originally... Grandma can cry too?

Liu Ying also noticed that there was crying in Empress Lu's voice, and he knelt down suddenly, "The sons are not filial, the sons are not filial, the sons are not filial..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Hou took a deep breath and soon returned to his original appearance.

"From now on, if you dare to have such an idea again, tell me first, you don't have to do it, I will do it myself and give you a ride."

"Erchen..."

Liu Ying's tears kept falling, and in the end, she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Empress Lu sighed helplessly, "Alas, forget it, let's go... Go to Chen's Mansion and I'll have someone prepare some gifts for you..."

"My father has already explained."

"Hmm."

Empress Lu didn't say anything more, she just watched Liu Ying leave the Jiaofang Hall with her head down, her eyes were extremely complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Mother... Don't be sad. ”

Liu Chang suddenly stretched out his hand, hugged Lu Hou, and rubbed his little head on Lu Hou's face.

Empress Lu was silent and did not speak, so Liu Chang kissed her on the face a few more times, making Empress Lu's face full of saliva.

"Hmph, do you know how to open now? Even Liu Heng knew about pleading for your second brother just now, why didn't you say a word? ”

"I'm not stupid! The fourth brother has never been beaten by you, and if he has been beaten a few times, he will not dare to speak. ”

Lu Hou laughed angrily, shook his head, and said helplessly: "If your eldest brother is half as smart as you..."

"Wouldn't my mother be even more angry? I'm just going to make my mother angry every day, and if you come again, it's worth it. ”

Empress Lu stretched out her hand and held Liu Chang's hand, "Your eldest brother has suffered so much today, all for you, you have to remember that you must protect your brother well, one day, if I am gone, someone wants to bully your eldest brother..."

"I'll cook him!"

Empress Lu smiled and rubbed Liu Chang's fat face.

"Mother... Am I no longer able to be the king? ”

"Don't talk nonsense... What's so good about being a mere king... When you are older, I will let you go to the best fiefdoms, Qi, Chu, Wei, is it countless times better than Daiguo? ”

"Ugh..."

"What are you sighing for?"

"I envy my eldest brother... When my mother learned that her eldest brother was looking for death, she was so anxious that she cried... If I die suddenly one day, will my mother cry too? ”

"Shut up! Don't say such unlucky things! ”

.......

In Chen's mansion, Chen Ping lay on the bed, shaking his head helplessly.

He never thought that he would overturn like this. Since Liu Bang ascended the throne, he has been repeatedly jumping sideways, on the surface he has always been His Majesty's most loyal eagle dog, His Majesty has to take him wherever he goes, in fact, every time the emperor and the empress have a dispute, he is reconciled from it to achieve a balanced state.

For example, this time, what he wanted was to help Liu Bang coerce Empress Lu, and then wait for Empress Lu to come up with a way to jump out and give both sides a step, once again not offend both sides, and save their lives and rule the world...

However, the smart man Chen Ping never thought that there would be such a pig teammate.

Mrs. Qi's words almost made the prince really die in the Xuanshu Palace. Chen Ping thought of this, his teeth itched with hatred, if the prince died in the Xuanshu Palace, it would be impossible for the queen and the emperor to forgive him, and the entire clan would be buried with him....

Forget it, don't jump, it's too dangerous to have such teammates... As soon as he was not careful, he jumped into the pit.

He was thinking about it when someone suddenly announced: "The prince is coming!" ”

Chen Ping hurriedly got up, ready to go out to greet him, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, Liu Ying appeared in front of him, and Liu Ying bowed to him, "Please forgive Chen Hou for my crime!" ”

"Hey, the minister doesn't dare to accept this gift! Please get up, prince! Rise! ”

Chen Ping hurriedly helped the prince up, and said helplessly: "The minister himself was injured unintentionally, how can he blame the prince?" ”

He invited the prince into the inner room and let his subordinates leave, but Liu Ying helped him to the bed, "The prince can't, the minister doesn't dare to accept this gift..."

"It's okay, this is what my father and queen mother have explained..."

In the face of this tenacious prince, Chen Ping had no room for opposition at all, he watched Liu Ying help himself to the bed, and personally served himself with medicine, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The prince carefully fed Chen Ping the medicine, his right face was red and swollen, but his face was full of joy.

"The prince looks happy?"

"Yes, my two brothers finally don't have to go to the fiefdom..."

Chen Ping rarely has contact with this prince in normal times, and he has always felt that it is definitely not a good thing to contact the prince too early, and it is easy to get into trouble, but today, in the question and answer, he seems to have discovered something.

"Does the prince know what went wrong today?"

"Don't dare to risk your life, you shouldn't hurt Chen Hou, and you shouldn't make your parents sad..."

"Definitely."

Chen Ping shook his head, and he gave another explanation, "The queen wants to send King Zhao away, but it is actually for the sake of the prince, and she doesn't want to change the prince again..."

"And His Majesty asked the prince to go to the feudal country, but also to coerce the queen, wanting the queen to give up her idea and leave two children."

"You and the Queen, Your Majesty are actually one, the Queen is helping you, and Your Majesty is in line with your thoughts."

Listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Liu Ying pondered for a long time and nodded, "Thank you Chen Hou for telling me these things." ”

"Does the prince know what to do?"

"I don't know, I hope Chen Hou can tell me."

Liu Ying hurriedly wanted to bow down, but Chen Ping pulled him up again.

"The prince doesn't have to be polite."

"You are unwilling to let King Zhao go to the feudal country, and the problem is not on King Zhao, but on Madame Qi, if the prince can find a way to let Madame Qi enter the cold palace and no longer be favored by His Majesty... The matter can be settled. ”

"But... But... After all, Mrs. Qi is Ruyi's biological mother. ”

"Your Majesty's relationship with the queen will affect many things, is the prince willing to give up one person to restore peace in the palace? Or is it intended to make the argument more intense because of one person? What's more, let Mrs. Qi no longer be favored, it's not to kill her..."

Liu Ying pondered for a moment and seemed to have made a decision, he asked, "Why did Chen Hou tell me this?" ”

"Prince, in fact, the reason why Your Majesty is angry is not because of anything else, but because you don't know how to use people, as long as you are willing, there are definitely many people in the court who are willing to help you, even the prime minister, the prince, the imperial doctor, and will definitely give everything to help... It's just that you don't know how to use people. ”

Liu Ying didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Highness, you can visit some of the courtiers appropriately, and you can write letters to the princes and kings of various places, they are all your close relatives... Your Majesty and the Empress are very worried about whether you will be able to be a qualified king after you inherit the throne in the future... You need to give them proof of their abilities so that they don't have to worry anymore ...

"Thank you, Chen Hou!"

"I know what to do!"

Liu Ying saluted again, and this time, Chen Ping didn't dodge, just smiled and nodded.

At this time, a local minister ran into Chang'an in a panic, was escorted by the soldiers, and sent to the palace.

The person who came claimed to be the doctor of Huainan Kingdom, Ben He, and had important matters of Huainan Kingdom to face His Majesty the Emperor.
