Chapter 216: Fire Qilin

Xiao Xuanrui's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to justify. Mama Li swept her eyes coldly: "The prince doesn't need to say much, what happened, Niangniang knows very well." Niangniang said, you don't lose this board. The Zhao family died of a relative's blood, and they had to give an explanation to Prime Minister Zhao and the Zhao family. ”

"Otherwise, if you don't let the Zhao family go out, the Rui Wangfu will definitely have a disagreement with the Zhao family in the future. So if the prince is offended, not only can you not resist, but after you are punished, you have to drag your injured body and go to the Zhao family to ask for guilt. ”

After she said that, she waved her hand, which directly controlled Xiao Xuanrui's hands and feet. It was so fast that he didn't have any chance to react at all. Kong Wu's powerful guards walked over and carried Xiao Xuanrui to the courtyard...... Xiao Xuanrui only felt that his head was blank...... For the first time, he felt so powerless, he is now an adult and has mastered a lot of power, but his mother still punished him with the same way he was a child. Xiao Xuanrui's heart gradually cooled down. He is also a prince anyway, and if the mother concubine doesn't say a word, she will punish him with a cane, what does this make those courtiers think? What other majesty does he have? In the future, which minister can he command to be used by him? He was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, but he couldn't struggle, and he couldn't resist. Those memories of his childhood swept towards his whole person little by little. When he was five years old, he was just playful, and raised a cricket on his mother's back, and when his mother found out, she punished him for kneeling in the yard all night. That night, he contracted a severe wind chill and almost didn't survive. When he was a little older, he didn't study well because he was naughty, and his mother knew about it, so she took the board herself and smashed it heavily on his palm. His palms were red and swollen, almost bruised to the point of blackness. Throughout the month, the traces of the black green did not dissipate. If he failed to do his homework and did not meet his mother's expectations, she punished him for not eating or sleeping. He cried and begged for mercy and admitted his mistakes, it was all useless, he cried and shed a tear, and the mother concubine would let Mama Li take the rattan and hit him. The scars have almost never healed. The scar is just right, and new marks are added. He remembered the time he remembered most vividly, when he was fifteen. There was a palace maid who seduced him, he tasted lust for the first time, who knew that after the mother concubine knew, in front of him, the palace maid was beaten to death. That picture was deeply imprinted in his mind. The blood that was all over the ground, the blinding red...... For a long time, he couldn't dispel the fear in it. After the death of the palace maid, he had a high fever day and night, but his mother did not let him rest or recuperate, and still ruthlessly let him practice in the snow in the cold winter...... Thinking of those nightmares, Xiao Xuanrui's face became more and more pale, his body couldn't help but tremble, and a wave of coldness couldn't help but bubble out. Mama Li noticed his abnormality, and a little worry flashed in her eyes, and she touched his trembling arm. "Lord Wang...... This is for your own good, don't blame her. For so many years, she has hoped that you will be a Jackie Chan, you should be able to understand her hard work, right? ”

Xiao Xuanrui's nose couldn't help but sour slightly, and his eyes showed a little resentment. "For my good? Oh, I've heard this almost countless times over the years. In her, I will never experience the tenderness that belongs to my mother. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm her son. ”

"Or am I just a tool for her to fight for power? When I was hurt and in pain, was she half distressed? Mama Li, my mother, her heart is really hard. Most of my wounds are due to her. I thought that as I grew up and I became better, I would be able to meet her expectations and control my own destiny......" "Heh, it turns out that all this is my wishful thinking. No matter how high I climb and how powerful I am, I'm still her son after all, right? I am the prince, she is the prince's biological mother, the high-ranking Zhao Guifei! I became the emperor, she is the queen mother, and she can still suppress me. I will always, will be suppressed, will always be like a marionette, let her train, step by step, I must follow the path she arranged......" Mama Li heard Xiao Xuanrui's voice complaining to Zhao Guifei. She couldn't help frowning slightly, and she hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, you misunderstood Niangniang, you are her son, how can she not care and hurt you?" Niangniang just expects too much from you, and does not allow you to make the slightest mistake, so as not to miss the overall situation. ”

"This time, the prince is really wrong, if it weren't for the prime minister to collect the bottom for the prince, I'm afraid this time, the emperor must have a lot of criticism for you. You don't want to, because this incident affects the emperor's feelings for you, right? After all, the Zhao family is a dead person, although the development of things is not what you want, but the sixth son of Zhao died because of you after all. ”

"This punishment must be carried out, this is the attitude of Zhao Guifei and the prince to the Zhao family. Otherwise, if it is not handled well, it will really affect the relationship with the Zhao family. Even if Prime Minister Zhao doesn't care, but Second Master Zhao and Second Mrs. Zhao, who lost their son, can they really swallow this breath? ”

Mama Li almost tried to persuade Xiao Xuanrui. Xiao Xuanrui hooked his lips and smiled mockingly. "This king is not ignorant of these truths. In this matter, it is indeed the king who did wrong, and the king should be punished. However, Mama Li, ask yourself, in addition to the authority in her heart, has she ever felt sorry for my son? ”

This sentence completely made Mama Li speechless. She opened her mouth, and wanted to answer yes with a clear conscience, but when she saw the mocking eyes of King Rui, she couldn't spit out a word. Xiao Xuanrui lay on the stool and slowly closed his eyes. "Let's execute...... This king is not embarrassed by Mama Li. If this is what the concubine wants, the king will do what she wants. ”

Mama Li's nose couldn't help but feel sour. She turned her head away, and couldn't bear to look at Xiao Xuanrui again, she waved her hand and let the guards execute. The guard raised the stick with thick arms and smashed it hard at Xiao Xuanrui's back. Bang bang, the heavy stick fell on Xiao Xuanrui's body, and he only felt extreme pain. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to endure it. Blood flowed from the cracked wound and dripped down the stool to the ground. The pungent smell of blood lingered all around. Everyone didn't dare to breathe. Mama Li raised her head and forced back the tears circulating in her eyes...... Fifty boards, finally over after half an hour. Xiao Xuanrui was dying, lying there covered in blood. Mama Li hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to bandage Xiao Xuanrui's wounds, but Xiao Xuanrui stood up tremblingly and pushed away the imperial doctor who ran over with a medicine box.
