Chen Jia pretended to be afraid and raised her eyes a little. She saw the emperor's feet floating and unstable. In addition to his old state, he also showed some emptiness. Because she didn't dare to look more, Chen Jia immediately lowered her eyes and continued to tremble.
As soon as the emperor approached, Xia Houyu threw her nose and tears around his leg and cried, "father! Father, spare your life! Father! I know my mistake! I dare not father again!" if there were not too many people present, Chen Jiazhen would like to praise the crying performance of the third prince.
Xia Houde heard that the third prince had done something to pollute the palace, but he still had some doubts - after all, Xia Houyu's body is not easy to walk steadily. What else can he do? However, when he saw two people in ragged clothes kneeling at his feet and glimpsed unspeakable stains on the bed, he was so angry that he lifted his old legs and kicked Xia Houyu out a few steps.
This foot was really merciless. Xia Houyu's body was empty and solid. She immediately lay on the ground. It was easy to breathe in and difficult to breathe out. Chen Jia couldn't bear to see it. She hung her head and held her hands tightly in her sleeves.
The virtuous imperial concubine stood aside, falsely supported the emperor and said, "don't be angry, Emperor. The queen is not the director, and the concubine is in charge of the harem. Such a thing shouldn't have bothered the emperor, but the identity of the third prince is unusual. After all, she is the emperor's eldest son, and the concubine doesn't dare to deal with it at will, so she has to..."
The virtuous imperial concubine didn't say it was OK. As soon as she said it, the emperor remembered his disheartened son, who was the eldest son! Suddenly, with a cold hum, the Dragon Robe shook and said, "what is this legitimate eldest son? I want such a son! God doesn't treat me! God doesn't treat me!"
The old emperor was so angry that no one dared to speak. Only the virtuous imperial concubine went up and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you deal with this?"
"Hum! The third prince has lost his virtue and ambition. According to the rules, he should have thrown this evil son out of the house! I think you are weak and sick, so you can rest in the palace. You can't go out of the gate of Qianyi hall without a decree!"
Xia Houyu was weak all over at this time. She fell on the ground and barely knelt up. She didn't have the strength to say anything. She kowtowed to show her intention.
The emperor looked at Zhong Liqing, who was trembling on the ground, paced back and forth and said, "as for this Zhong Liqing, the sin is unforgivable! Come on, drag it down and kill it!"
Chen Jia knew he wouldn't have any good results, but without life-saving Kung Fu, how dare he take the plan? As soon as he was about to beg for mercy, he saw the strength of the third prince walking on his knees from the ground, holding the emperor's thigh and begging for mercy: "father, please surround him!"
"Do you still have the face to plead for him?!" the emperor was even more angry.
Xia Houyu banged her head, gasped and said, "my father, my son and minister are helpless in Qianyi hall. I'm just a person who takes care of myself. Please leave him alive!" Xia Houyu was probably in a hurry and spit blood!
The scarlet blood splashed on the emperor's Dragon Robe, leaving a clear mark immediately. The old Xia Houde looked at the son and thought that his life was not long. It was rare to find a trace of human nature. He hesitated and said, "in that case, he will leave the Qing Dynasty and never leave the Qianyi hall. He will serve you here."
As soon as they wanted to thank the emperor for his kindness, they heard the emperor continue to say: "however, today's affairs can't happen again. Zhong Li's moral integrity is not correct. He dragged it down and sent it to the clean room to clean his body. He broke his desire and left his life to serve the third prince."
Clean room?! The emperor is going to castrate him?! As soon as Chen Jia's face turned white, she immediately thought that it was important to protect her life first, so she had to kowtow for the time being.
Xia Houyu's head was green, and she didn't dare to say more after all.
Zhong Liqing was dragged out by two bodyguards like an old rag. Xia Houyu raised his eyes to see him. Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Chen Jiachong shook his head out of reach and motioned him not to resist again. Xia Houyu's eyes were dark and she lowered her head and closed her eyes.
A big play is finally over. The virtuous imperial concubine, like a peacock, swaggered away with her servants to accompany the emperor. The Qianyi hall is like a deep cage. With the door closed, the cage completely isolated the third prince from the outside world.
Xia Houyu was cold all over and threw herself into bed with her last bite of strength and passed out in a coma.
Wake up again, a few days later.
The fact that the third prince was banned did not cause any waves in the former imperial court and the harem. After all, no one would care about the waste wood of the third prince. The queen knew that her son was in such a situation. She only sent a maid to take care of him for a few days. She didn't show up.
Xia Houyu couldn't find any news, so she had to wait in the Qianyi hall. For the first time, he felt that time passed too slowly. Was Zhong Li really transformed into a eunuch? If he really got a knife, can he survive this serious injury? After you survive? How does he face his identity?
Xia Houyu had mixed feelings. Finally, Zhong Liqing's eyes came to her mind when she was taken away. He just shook his head slightly, motioning him not to move, but there was no panic.
He never knew that Zhong Liqing was such a firm man.
Xia Houyu anxiously counted the days. On the 15th day, Zhong Liqing was finally sent back to the Qianyi hall. He still changed into a eunuch suit. He probably learned etiquette from the instructor. Seeing Xia Houyu is a standard slave ceremony.
Xia Houyu's eyes fluctuated. She dismissed the only palace maid around her and said, "go back to your mother and restore your life. There's no need to come back to Qianyi hall in the future."
"Yes." the little maid in waiting took the order to step down, and her tone still meant relief. Perhaps in her eyes, it was a hard job to serve the strange and gloomy third prince.
As soon as the palace maid left, there were only Xia Houyu and Zhong Liqing in the huge Qianyi hall.
"You..." Xia Houyu wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
Chen Jia got up from the ground, calmly dusted her clothes and said, "there's nothing wrong with this eunuch's robe. The sleeves are tight and easy to act. Before, I thought the sleeves were too loose and wanted to tie them up. My eldest brother also said I didn't have etiquette. I can wear them now."
Xia Houyu's eyes were dark and said, "at the beginning, you had a plan. Didn't you think the emperor would deal with you?"
Chen Jia looked down and said, "I thought it was the board at most. After all, I'm the young master of Zhongli Hou's house. I didn't expect the emperor's punishment to be so heavy. It's a great luck to keep this life."
"Then you will..."
Chen Jia shook her head, interrupted Xia Houyu, and said, "the third prince doesn't have to worry about me. I remember I said that in ancient times, there were Sima Qian's palace punishment to repair historical records, and Sun Bin Bin's punishment to be a military division. I don't think I can do anything earth shaking, but revenge for my father. This sacrifice is nothing."
Xia Houyu finally breathed a sigh. It was probably this situation of common hardship that dispelled his last worry. He said, "I will try my best to cooperate with your treatment. One day, that seat will be mine."
Chen Jia finally showed her first heartfelt smile since entering the hall and said, "if the third prince can think like this, my sacrifice will be more valuable."
After that, he stepped forward and approached Xia Houyu, saying, "third prince, please let me feel your pulse."
