In the palace, Concubine Jing and the second princess were already crying and hugging each other.
At this time, the palace door was suddenly pushed open without warning. The mother and daughter were startled and looked up.
When they saw the tall and noble figure at the door, the two of them were excited!
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
Concubine Jing turned pale with fright, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
It's over. Won't the Holy One hear what you just said?
The second princess, Shen Yuanbi, was calmer after all, and quickly dragged her mother and concubine to kneel down and salute.
Emperor Yong walked into the palace step by step and stood in front of Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing felt uneasy, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her back.
damned!
When the Holy Master came, none of the servants came to report, and all the servants were raised in vain!
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes, his face gloomy.
"Concubine Jing, you just said, what are the rumors in the palace?"
Concubine Jing knelt on the ground, her whole body trembling, and her mind was filled with whether she had said anything treacherous just now.
When Shen Yuanbi saw this, he sighed secretly, straightened up and said for Concubine Jing:
"Father! I also ask my father to be my mother-in-law and make decisions for my third brother!"
"Recently, rumors have spread in the palace from nowhere, saying... that the third brother is not of the father's bloodline. This is such a murderous statement!"
"There is no room for any confusion between the king, his minister, his father and his son. There is no room for any confusion about the blood of close relatives! My father, Bi'er and my third brother are twins. This rumor is simply untenable."
"Because of this, we can even see the sinister intentions of those who spread the rumors! They... they are afraid that they want to force the mother-in-law and the third brother to death!"
"Father! Please, Father, please make the decision for us!"
After Shen Yuanbi finished speaking, he leaned over and kowtowed heavily.
Concubine Jing nodded hurriedly when she heard this, and echoed repeatedly: "Yes! Bi'er is right! Please make the decision for our mother and son!"
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes. He never looked at Concubine Jing, but instead fixedly looked at the second princess.
For the first time, he discovered that his second daughter was brave, resourceful, eloquent, and spoke clearly, and was much more useful than her mother-in-law.
He almost saw the shadow of the queen when she was young in the second princess.
Just as Emperor Yong was about to lean over and help the mother and daughter up, there was a sudden noise outside the palace.
When Huang Pei heard the sound, he immediately went out to check and saw a young eunuch with a pale face and almost crying.
Huang Pei's brows furrowed when he saw this. The people in Chunhua Palace were completely out of order. The Holy Lord was inside. How could he show such an expression?
"What's going on?" Huang Pei asked in a low voice.
This little eunuch was so humble that he could not even recognize Eunuch Huang next to Emperor Yong.
He just knelt down in a hurry and shouted repeatedly: "Eunuch! Please send a message to Concubine Jing quickly, Third... His Highness is dying!"
The sound reached the palace, and Concubine Jing was secretly glad that the Holy Emperor had not said anything to blame. However, when she heard these words, she felt a thunderous explosion above her head, making her internal organs almost burst.
"Jing'er!"
She suddenly screamed, no longer caring that Emperor Yong was in front of her, staggered all the way to the outside of the palace, leaned over and grabbed the little eunuch's shoulders, and asked with a twisted expression:
"You, you, you... what did you say! What happened to Jing'er!"
The little eunuch recognized Concubine Jing, and immediately said with red eyes: "Empress, the Third Highness seemed to have heard something this morning, and suddenly fell ill!"
"The servants wanted to report to the empress, but His Highness held Fu'an's sleeve tightly and refused to let the servants pass the news."
"Later, after finally resting, Fu'an helped His Highness to sleep again. Unexpectedly, when the servants called His Highness to get up and drink medicine, there was no movement in the palace."
"Fu'an was so anxious that he pushed the door open and came in. Blood... the front of the bed was full of blood!"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has cut his own wrist!"
When Concubine Jing heard this, her whole body softened suddenly. If Huang Pei hadn't quickly caught her with his quick eyes, Concubine Jing would have fallen to the ground.
She looked stunned, and after a while she said in a trembling voice: "Jing'er must have heard that rumor too..."
Concubine Jing tried to walk out, but her feet were already so weak that she shouted out in anxiety:
"Come here! Hurry! Send me to Xinghua Palace quickly!"
The second princess was still kneeling on the spot. When she heard these words, she felt like the world was spinning.
The cold air beneath her knees seemed to have penetrated into her body, causing her to completely lose the ability to think.
"Third brother...brother..."
Her third most gentle brother...
The second princess suddenly burst into tears. She held on to Emperor Yong's hem and said incoherently:
"Father! Please! Let the best doctor go and check on the third brother! Nothing can happen to the third brother!"
Emperor Yong looked stunned and was greatly shocked at this moment.
He was still so young, and his children were all teenagers. He never thought that he would hear the bad news about his children.
"Huang Pei! Send me all the doctors from Imperial Hospital to Xinghua Palace!"
Emperor Yong pulled up the second princess from the ground, his expression calm and firm.
"Bi'er, Jing'er will be fine, my father will take you to Xinghua Palace!"
The group of people hurried to Xinghua Palace. There was such a big movement, and everyone in the palace received the news soon.
The Queen stood up suddenly after hearing the news, her face full of shock.
Zhan'er came to find her a few days ago and said that he and Lao San had agreed on something. If she could find a way, she would quietly lead the Holy Emperor to Chunhua Palace today.
She knew that the two children were smart and acted in a measured manner, so she didn't ask any more questions.
How...how could there be such a big fuss?
How could the third child with his body be able to resist such nonsense!
Thinking of this, the Queen couldn't sit still anymore and hurried to Xinghua Palace.
When the prince received the news, there was a look of astonishment on his face.
He...he and his third brother discussed it, but that's not the case!
How could the third brother do such nonsense? He was born with deficiencies, and he was not completely recovered from the cold. Now if he slit his wrists again, he would really be alive——
With his thoughts at this point, the prince suddenly froze on the spot.
He suddenly remembered the third prince’s decisive words that night——
"So I no longer have any scruples. In this battle, I will give everything I have, even if I leave this sick body behind, I will help you win this battle!"
Perhaps the third brother didn't want to live anymore when he confessed to him from the beginning!
The third brother wants to use his own life to help him succeed, and also to make his father feel guilty. He wants to use this to win a place for Concubine Jing in his father's heart, and also to seek a good marriage for his second sister!
The third brother considered everyone, but left himself alone!
This... this makes him feel so embarrassed as an elder brother, and makes his conscience so uneasy!
Thinking of this, the prince's heart skipped a beat and he felt sour. The next moment he walked out of the East Palace quickly, his skirts flying!
