Chapter 259 Outbreak
Concubine De's speculation is actually the thinking of most people, especially in the evening, there was a lot of noise from the Prince Regent's Palace, and soon everyone found out the general story: the Prince Regent has always recognized that he doesn't like the crown prince. Because this son lost the Imperial City Secretary again, one can imagine how he felt after the imperial court was dispersed!
Immediately called the prince to the study and yelled at him!
Originally, it was only natural for a father to scold his son, especially this time the son really cheated his father very much.
There is nothing to say about being scolded.
But on the way, he drove the second concubine to deliver food to the regent, and fanned the flames with a few words.
This is Lu Jifei's normal operation. She was used to doing this when the son did nothing wrong in the past.
Although the prince has always been wronged and resentful, he dare not do anything because of filial piety.
But this time, the eldest son probably couldn't bear it after years of backlog, so he rushed up and beat and kicked Concubine Lu Ji!
He is a descendant of a close branch of the royal family, born as the eldest son. When he was young, the empress dowager and Xiaozong were often hugged and coaxed. Even if he was suppressed by the regent, he was not allowed to make achievements and practice, but the cultivation he received was not ambiguous.
In particular, he has been a companion to Chunjia for many years. Even under Ji's arrangement, he has never touched the way of governing the country, but his literary talent and martial arts are not restricted.
In terms of skill, it is a real thing that has been practiced since childhood in winter and summer.
Now it is the time when the blood is full, and it has never been abandoned... In short, no one expected Gong Xiangxiao's outbreak at the time, and expected that the waiters would come up to stop him, but Gong Xiangxiao ignored him, acting like a mad tiger, and kept going. With the aura of dying with whoever stops him, the waiters didn't dare to seriously hurt him, so they couldn't hold him back for a while!
In the end, the regent went up and hugged him personally and asked people to remove Concubine Lu. Yes, it was to remove Concubine Lu instead of letting Concubine Lu go quickly or helping Concubine Lu to leave.
Because in just a short while, Concubine Lu Jifei, who is delicate and frail and a noblewoman, was beaten until her mouth and nose were bleeding, her face was swollen, and she even lost consciousness!
After Concubine Lu Ji was carried out of the study room, the regent brought four or five attendants, and it took a lot of effort to hold Gong Xiangxiao down. Dare to beat your stepmother in front of your biological father, it's crazy!
Gong Xiangxiao struggled a few times and saw that he couldn't break free, but he didn't admit his mistake. Instead, he poked his neck and sneered: "Since the father married the Lu family, he has become more and more indifferent to my son, the eldest son of the first wife! In recent years, I have watched my son do it Nothing is pleasing to the eye, like a thorn in the flesh! Hai'er knows why, it's just that the bastard from the Lu family is getting older and wants Hai'er to be the son of the world! It's just that Hai'er is the first wife and has never had a serious fault , the father and the Lu family want to abandon the child, whether it is the clansmen or His Majesty, how can they agree? Isn't the father secretly happy with the child's actions today?!"
The regent trembled with anger, pointed at him with a halberd and shouted angrily: "Zhuzi! Zhuzi! What do you know, Zhuzi...?!"
"Maybe you don't know much, but you know everything you need to know!" Gong Xiangxiao is so broken at the moment, he dares to say anything, "For example, the mother and concubine of the child have always been in good health, and the Dou family has no shortcomings. Longevity, why did the child die of illness before he was fully grown? And it was so coincidental..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Regent's punch on the face!
But Gong Xiangxiao didn't care at all, spat out blood, and said hesitantly: "When the emperor's uncle was in power, you were a son of a concubine and the emperor's grandfather never considered your succession, so you married a concubine who was not of noble birth. , to show that you have no ambitions, and to please the emperor's grandfather and uncle! Later, the emperor's uncle was seriously ill and had no children. For the sake of Qi Ji, he intended to make you the emperor's younger brother, so you ignored the relationship between husband and wife and forced your mother and concubine to death so that you could marry him. The daughter of Lu Chuncao, who was most trusted by the imperial uncle at that time... You are the biological flesh and blood of the imperial grandfather, the prince of the Gongxiang family, but marrying a eunuch and righteous daughter is simply disgraceful to my Gongxiang family!"
"Let's let my son bow down in front of Mrs. Lu and call him concubine mother!"
"If my real mother and concubine Quan Xiayouzhi, I think the most annoying thing is why I didn't have eyes to marry you at the beginning!!!"
"Shut up!!!" The regent suddenly shouted loudly, "What do you know?! You bastard...you bastard...you...you..."
He was so angry with this son, his voice was choked up for a while, his hands were trembling, "Zhuzi is ignorant, how dare you slander Gu like this?!"
Gong Xiangxiao sneered, waiting to refute, but the regent no longer gave him a chance, and waved his hands to let him go, "Shut up and drag it on! Let's talk to Gu Qujiafa again!"
It was dark, and the open space in front of the study was brightly lit.
The regent was really angry, and countless staff and old servants came to plead for mercy, but they were all repelled.
It's not that Gong Xiangxiao is so popular. They came to persuade them. One was because they were afraid that the regent would be angry and inappropriate, and he would beat the prince to a good or bad end. That would be a proper human tragedy; It's not easy to tell outsiders to see all the jokes.
Gong Xiangxiao knew this well, and struggled angrily, looking at the regent's gaze seemed to be poisoned... This kind of gaze made the regent even more angry, he raised his family law high, and fell down hard!
Shizi who was forced to the ground suddenly tensed up, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his complexion turned red in an instant!
Several staff members who were usually valued more than usual rolled up their sleeves and exchanged glances with each other, and decided to wait for Gong Xiangxiao to suffer a few more times, and the regent got a little angry, and then went up to persuade him.
But at this moment, a servant hurriedly ran outside, glanced at the situation in the court, hesitated for a while, did not dare to go up to report to the regent, but leaned in front of the staff and whispered a few words.
The faces of those staff members changed slightly, they quickly discussed a few words, and quickly stepped forward to hold the regent: "My lord, Princess Dongxing is here!"
Although Princess Dongxing is the real aunt of the Prince Regent, the relationship between the two parties has never been very close. Over the years, they have not even visited each other.
Being an uninvited guest on this big night, I also know that it is unlikely to be a good intention.
He even came here for Gong Xiangxiao.
It’s fine if it’s just the Eldest Princess. The key is that her granddaughter is now a concubine in the palace. In the previous disputes, she also firmly stood by Chunjia. But there will be trouble.
But the regent was furious at the moment, and he couldn't listen to any persuasion. He forcibly pushed away the staff, and shouted: "Even if the holy car comes here today, Gu will kill this rebellious son who disobeys human relations first!"
He refused to go out to meet the eldest princess of Dongxing, but the eldest princess broke in all the way in relying on her identity!
As soon as he entered the door, he exclaimed in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Then, without waiting for the regent to say anything, he directly ordered someone to come forward to help Gong Xiangxiao, "Brother Huang's flesh and bones are scarce in the first place, you people still look at it like this, you are really hard-hearted!!!"
"Auntie, this is a family matter, please don't bother me!" The regent blocked the waiter with a gloomy face, and said forcefully, "If Auntie has something to teach, I will come to the door another day, I will definitely listen to it!"
"I just passed by the door. I heard something wrong, and I was worried that something happened, so I asked the coachman to stop and visit inside." Princess Dongxing said softly, "I thought it was something, but it turned out that you were here Are you harsh on your own son? Are you out of your mind? You and Xiaozong are the only two brothers in the imperial family. Your first brother is no longer there, and you have only two children under your knees, the eldest son and the youngest son. You can’t talk about what the child did wrong. , do you have to use such a cruel hand?!"
The regent said with a blank expression: "This auntie doesn't bother to worry, she has her own opinion!"
Princess Dongxing sneered and pointed at Gong Xiangxiao, who was lying on the ground without making a sound: "Is this your idea? Kill your own son?! What kind of ecstasy soup did that eunuch's daughter of the Lu family give you? You are still obsessed with being so mean to the son of the first wife?! Yes, you are his biological father, even if you beat him to death, this aunt in this Palace can't do anything to you! But don't forget, you The biological mother is gone, but your aunt is still there! You are going to kill your biological father’s grandson, have you asked your aunt?!”
"The empress dowager has an explanation for the former orphan, so don't worry about it!" The regent pointed to the door, and directly issued an order to evict the guests, so that Princess Dongxing could go wherever she fell in love with. Anyway, the regent's mansion does not welcome her.
However, Princess Dongxing narrowed her eyes slightly, she suddenly pushed away from the left and right, stepped forward with her head held high, and said, "I won't leave! I want to see how majestic your regent is! Your own eldest son can bear such a heavy blow." Hand, why not just fight with Bengong?! Although Bengong was not very close to Emperor Shenzong before his death, they are brothers and sisters after all! Sit back and watch you destroy the truth of Shenzong's bloodline?!"
She has a high status and a high level of seniority, and as she walks over step by step, not to mention the guards of the Prince Regent's Palace, even the Prince Regent himself is not easy to touch her... This is the disadvantage of Concubine Lu Jifei who can't take care of herself now.
If the second concubine is fine, rush over quickly, kneel down and hug the eldest princess' legs to prevent her from making trouble, but the eldest princess has nothing to do.
After all, people in the palace did not dare to touch her, but they were not afraid of her followers.
But Concubine Lu Ji is afraid that she hasn't woken up yet, the eldest princess of Dongxing is going to play tricks, who in the palace can do anything about it?
The regent was extremely angry, and said in a cold voice: "My aunt and Gu Su came to the well and did not violate the river, why do you have to fight against Gu tonight?! Could it be that the matter of this rebellious son in the palace is His Majesty's intention?!"
"Ruoji, you are really in a daze!" Princess Dongxing was walking towards Gongxiangxiao, her face darkened when she heard this, she stopped, looked at him, and said seriously, "Who do you think your majesty is? That lady-in-waiting, Your Majesty doesn't remember at all, she is His Majesty's person, do you think that Your Majesty is the kind of person who will not hesitate to damage your reputation in order to separate the relationship between your father and son?!"
The regent sneered, he really didn't think that Chunjia couldn't do such a thing: "That's really weird! Auntie has passed through the gate of the lonely house not once or twice in these years, when did she take care of the trivial matters in the lonely mansion? Without His Majesty's support, Auntie dared to do this?! And this rebellious son messes up the palace, His Majesty cares about family affection even if he punishes him lightly, why would he explain to Auntie like this?"
Princess Dongxing frowned and said: "In the past, there was such a big commotion in your mansion today? It's not that the Palace is talking about you, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its son! Even if your thoughts are now on the second concubine and the youngest son, Xiao'er is still you after all. blood!"
"It's useless to talk!" The regent looked up at the night for a while, and said coldly, "There is absolutely no reason in this world that a father can't deal with his son! If Auntie insists on being troublesome, then..."
He suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the back of Gong Xiangxiao's neck weakly, "The orphan can only send him on the road first, so as not to make people laugh at my regent's mansion as father or son!"
"You!!!" Princess Dongxing originally thought that she had the chance to win, but she never expected this nephew to be so cruel... Maybe he couldn't do this, but Dongxing himself came here under the banner of seeing the injustice and sympathizing with Gong Xiangxiao. Yes, can she continue to move forward now?
That must not be possible!
After a moment of stalemate, she said with a gloomy expression, "Okay! You are doing well! Back then, Shenzong had only you and Xiaozong's two sons. Although your biological mother was humble, Shenzong loved him very much. In a blink of an eye, all these years have passed, and you are also a father. The king is dead, but he is so mean to the eldest son, and he doesn't know that you will go down in the future, so how will you explain to the emperor brother!"
Finally walk away!
After all, it's pointless to stay any longer.
"...your lord." The regent watched her leave with the same dark eyes, his expression changed for a long time, and the staff looked at each other, pushed one person forward, and reminded in a low voice, "please calm down, princess Dongxing is here." Such a coincidence, there must be deceit. When the prince wants to punish the son, why not give someone a handle on this eye bone?"
"Besides, the reason why the son had an accident in the palace is probably due to scheming without knowing it!" The rest of the people agreed and said, "The son is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that he will be impulsive, so I invite the prince Haihan!"
The regent was silent for a long time, and ordered: "Drag that rebellious son to the woodshed, and go to see the princess first."
...The Prince Regent's Mansion was lively all night, and there was movement at the court meeting the next day.
Cui Wan, who had been keeping a low profile for a long time, handed over a brochure to Chunjia in public, saying that she was only able to help out because she was entrusted.
Chunjia only flipped over a little bit, showing some surprise, and immediately looked at the regent.
The ministers were not surprised by this, they all thought that someone had impeached the regent or something.
But Chunjia thought about it, but asked Yanyin to show the booklet to the regent king: "Uncle Wang, let's see for himself."
The regent glanced expressionlessly at the back of the booklet, his eyes flashed with anger, and suddenly sneered, tore the booklet into several pieces, threw it on the ground, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this duke assists you!" Family matters, when will it be the turn of outsiders?!"
Chunjia's gentle words made all the officials very surprised: "Although this is the case, the Dou family is the family of the late Aunt Dou after all, and it is human nature to perform this performance."
Is this book written by Mrs. Dou?
All the officials exchanged glances, they were all curious about what the Dou family said in it, so that the royal uncle and nephew had such disagreements?
Logically speaking, the Dou family must belong to the Duke Xiangxiao, maybe it is to help the son and nephew to defend his grievances, but judging by the looks of Chunjia and the regent, don't they look alike?
