Approaching the New Year, an edict summoned the eldest prince Xiao Chengye into the palace.

As soon as the door of the palace was closed, Emperor Yongtai picked up the whip, and without a word of nonsense, he greeted the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

Whip after whip, head to face.

The eldest prince, Xiao Chengye, an adult man in his early twenties, was stunned in an instant.

What's even more terrifying is that he was also abused as a beast by his biological father, how embarrassing.

He couldn't resist, he couldn't dodge, he could only carry it hard.

Gritted teeth, bloodshot eyes, clenched fists, hatred in his heart.

Why?

The same prince, why should he endure more suffering and humiliation than his brothers?

He hates!

Hate everyone!

Emperor Yongtai was whipped and insulted until he was tired.

But that's not enough.

Emperor Yongtai raised his foot and stepped on the shoulder of the eldest prince Xiao Chengye, "Do you know why I want to whip you?" ”

"I don't know!"

The eldest prince, Xiao Chengye, lay on the ground, embarrassed.

His shirt was torn by the whip, and his body was covered with whip marks.

The worst thing is that there is also a whip mark on the ear, which cannot be concealed, and it will definitely be seen.

When asked, how would he explain?

Emperor Yongtai was furious, "What you have done yourself, you know it yourself!" ”

"Please make it clear to my father! Erchen didn't know what he had done wrong. ”

Emperor Yongtai smiled coldly, "I gave you a marriage, are you not satisfied?" ”

"The father and emperor misunderstood, but the sons and daughters were not dissatisfied." The eldest prince Xiao Chengye was shocked and hurriedly defended.

Emperor Yongtai was full of disappointment, and at this time, the rebel still didn't have a word of truth.

He was disappointed, he was annoyed, "Fool! ”

directly kicked over the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

Emperor Yongtai lost his patience, and sure enough, the mud couldn't make up for the wall.

He didn't want to spend his energy teaching a son who didn't open his mind, so he pointed to the door and yelled, "Get out of here and reflect on it." ”

The eldest prince Xiao Chengye hurriedly got up and bowed to leave.

Emperor Yongtai waved his hands angrily and directly swept the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase to the ground.

"Damn it! I'm so disappointed in him! ”

"Your Majesty is angry! Otherwise, the old slave sent someone to mention His Highness. Sun Bangnian and Sun Gonggong whispered.

Emperor Yongtai slammed his fist on the table, his anger rising upward, his eyes red, "Tell me what he does." I don't think he's a son. ”

Sun Bangnian's father-in-law was shocked, bowed his head, and didn't dare to speak easily.

His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is completely finished.

He lost his chances.

The corners of Sun Bangnian's grandfather's mouth turned up slightly, and he instantly returned to a serious appearance.

I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince himself didn't realize what he was missing.

He missed the opportunity His Majesty gave him, and he missed His Majesty's last chance to recognize him.

His Royal Highness the Grand Prince has completely lost his relationship with the throne and is no longer a threat.

Bloodless soldiers, one knife to defeat the enemy!

Perfect!

His Royal Highness the Second Prince borrowed a knife to kill people with this hand, and he played a thief.

……

There is a small yellow gate waiting at the gate of Xingqing Palace.

When he saw the eldest prince Xiao Chengye, he immediately greeted him.

"Your Highness, the little one has prepared a cloak and a robe. It's windy today, but do you want to put it on? ”

The eldest prince, Xiao Chengye, was in tattered clothes and was whipped by a whip.

This appearance will spread all over the capital in three moments after leaving the palace.

I don't know what gossip will come out of the project.

Xiao Huangmen sent a cloak, which solved his problem.

It's just that......

"Who sent you?"

This little yellow door, with its eyes, must have never been seen before.

Xiao Huangmen bowed down and said, "The little one was sent by Grandpa Sun." ”

"Sun Bangnian?" The eldest prince Xiao Chengye was taken aback.

"It's Grandpa Sun."

The eldest prince Xiao Chengye stared at the cloak and robe in Xiao Huangmen's hand, and his mind surged.

What does Sun Bangnian mean?

Could it be that his father ordered him to do this?

He instantly swelled up with an indescribable complex emotion, full of grievances that made his nose sore, and he almost cried in front of Xiao Huangmen.

He put on his robe and cloak to hide the traces of embarrassment on his body.

"Tell Grandpa Sun, His Royal Highness thanks him for his help."

"Your Highness is gracious! Do you want to send His Royal Highness out of the palace in a small way? ”

"No!"

……

The eldest prince Xiao Chengye was beaten by Emperor Yongtai and ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and the matter soon spread throughout the palace and from the palace to the outside of the palace.

Empress Tao was very curious why Emperor Yongtai whipped the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

She launched the chess pieces buried in Xingqing Palace, but she didn't find out.

Eccentric!

She muttered to Young Eunuch Mei, "Your Majesty has to have a reason for beating the eldest prince." I checked and checked, but I couldn't find it, what do you say? ”

Young Eunuch Mei bowed down and said, "Your Majesty must have given a gag order." ”

"What is it that deserves a gag order from Your Majesty?" Empress Tao was curious about this.

Young Eunuch Mei pleaded guilty, "The old slave is incompetent and failed to find out the truth. ”

Empress Tao waved her hand, "I don't blame you." The palace came forward in person, but he couldn't put out a word of truth, obviously His Majesty was guarding against the palace. In the final analysis, His Majesty still has a place for the eldest prince in his heart, after all, it is his first child. Twenty years, it took the palace a full twenty years, and it couldn't erase the eldest prince from His Majesty's heart, it was really too deceitful. ”

"Mother's anger!" Mei Shaojian advised.

Empress Tao gritted her teeth, "Your Majesty doesn't say it, but you still care about the eldest prince in your heart." Why can't he let go of the waste of the eldest prince. ”

Syllable!

She slammed her fist on the table.

It's infuriating!

Young Eunuch Mei hurriedly said: "Even if Your Majesty cares about the eldest prince, according to the old slave, this concern is really limited. Otherwise, why didn't His Majesty posthumously crown the biological mother of the eldest prince for so many years? plainly let the identity of the eldest prince not be embarrassed or embarrassed, not a concubine, and cause a lot of gossip. ”

Empress Tao snorted coldly, "You don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts!" Everyone else thinks that His Majesty cares about the feelings of the palace, so he refuses to posthumously seal the birth mother of the eldest prince. In the past, this palace also thought so, and it was still complacent.

But recently, the palace finally saw through it, and he did it clearly to protect the eldest prince. He was afraid that if the eldest prince would obtain the identity of the eldest prince, the palace would not be able to help but poison him. Hehe, speaking of which, isn't it just guarding against the palace. ”

"I can't!" Young Eunuch Mei was shocked.

Empress Tao smiled coldly, "Nothing is impossible!" He favors the palace, supports the Tao family, and gives the Tao family authority, all of which are true. But thinking about it from another angle, this is not his ploy, making the Tao family a target and the target of the courtiers. Once the chaos inside and outside the court is together, push the Tao family out and kill it, it is enough to calm the anger of the public! He's so vicious! ”

Queen Tao's heart was cold.

There are some things that I don't want to see through, just because the truth is too cruel.

However, now, she can no longer continue to have illusions.

Every word Queen Tao said made Young Eunuch Mei tremble, "Niangniang, what should we do?" ”

Empress Tao's eyes were cold and determined, and no truth could shake her determination.

She sneered, "He did everything he could, but he didn't expect to raise the eldest prince into a waste, a coward who has no responsibility." I don't know if he regretted his decision not to posthumously crown the eldest prince's biological mother. You send people to keep an eye on the Great Prince's Mansion, and while the princes and kings from all over the country are about to enter Beijing, the palace is going to have a big game. ”

……

Outside the palace.

The Li family was distressed when they learned that the eldest prince Xiao Chengye was beaten by the Son of Heaven.

wants Li Huanting to accompany her brother to visit the Grand Prince's Mansion.

Li Huanting refused to go.

These days, she has nightmares every night.

Xiao Chengye wanted to kill her, but no matter what, she couldn't convince herself that it hadn't happened.

Every time I wake up from a nightmare, I break out in a cold sweat.

She was afraid, helpless, struggling......

She didn't want to see the eldest prince Xiao Chengye, she didn't even want to marry him.

But she knows that this marriage is the hope of the whole family.

If she dares to say "not to marry" Xiao Chengye, her parents and brothers, and all the clansmen will regard her as an enemy.

At that time, what will happen to her......

I can't imagine!

When her parents asked her why she refused to visit the eldest prince, she couldn't tell the truth.

She could only refuse on the grounds that she was unwell.

She really doesn't have too much body, she worries and dreams, she doesn't eat well and doesn't sleep well, and she has lost weight in just a few days.

Seeing her thin face, Mrs. Li was distressed, "That's it, that's it, Wan Ting is unwell, don't force her." ”

Li Huanting successfully evaded this mission.

She called her confidant and asked many times, "What happened that day, you really didn't see who stunned me and His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" Didn't see who wrote to you? ”

The maid didn't know how many times she answered, but the answer was still the original answer, "The slave didn't dare to deceive the girl, I really didn't see it." The girl's handkerchief fell to the ground with a hairpin, and the slave and maid saw it, worried that something had happened to the girl, so she hurried over, only to see the girl lying on the ground unconscious. There was also His Royal Highness the Great Prince lying next to him, who was also unconscious. Nothing else was seen. ”

Li Huanting rubbed her eyebrows, who saved her.

She recalled repeatedly, and the last memory always stayed in the eldest prince Xiao Chengye pinching her neck, and that face was like a demon crawling out of hell.

To this day, that scene still makes her tremble uncontrollably.

He wanted to kill her!

Hehe!

Just to get out of the marriage, he wants to kill her!

What a vicious man!

Li Huanting is scared!

If she marries, will she have a way to live?

She cared so much about him, but he was so ruthless.

What should she do?

"What's wrong with you, girl?" The maid asked with concern.

Li Huanting shook her head, "Do you know when the wedding date of the second prince and the second girl of the Yan family is set?" ”

"The wedding date should not have been set yet!"

"The eldest prince is the elder, and it must be the eldest prince who gets married first. I ......"

Li Huanting felt uncomfortable, what should she do?

To marry or not to marry?
