Father can be an enemy to the country

"Why are you laughing?" The smile that should never appear on the face of a ten-year-old child made Concubine Ding feel very irritated.

"Because I am sure that you are a vicious woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions, which makes me really happy." The childishness on Zhu Zhen's face was wiped away, just like Conan after shooting Kogoro, His eyes became sharp and sharp, but his voice became a little deeper.

"This shows that my mother-in-law must have fallen into your trap and was framed by you!"

"And when she slaps a vicious woman like you, I will only say that the spanking is good and the spanking is too gentle! I am proud of her!"

"You..." Concubine Da Ding looked at her in disbelief. She looked like a different person. After a while, she calmed down and said, "Is this your true face?"

"Both each other, your Majesty has shown me your true face, and I can't be stingy." Zhu Zhen stopped standing there and walked to a chair aside to sit down, but he still felt a head shorter, so he simply Standing directly on top.

It seems even weirder...

"Well, you are the sixth child, you have hidden it deep enough. No wonder, Gu'er can scare you silly." Concubine Ding finally came back to her senses, smiled again and said:

"But what's the use? Even if you act like a ghost, you can't change your age. Still no one will believe a ten-year-old brat, they will just think you are full of lies!"

"My one-sided words may have limited persuasiveness." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "But I have witnesses."

"Oh, you mean Liu Bowen?" Concubine Da Ding covered her red lips with the back of her hand and giggled: "If you don't mention this, I'm not sure you are lying. You know Liu Bowen, who is famous all over the world, why do you want to hide in this place? In the palace? Do you know the grudge between him and the emperor?"

"If you knew, you would understand that he would never meddle in his own business." Concubine Da Ding said and subconsciously looked at the door. Will Hou Lixie be back soon?

"Is the empress waiting for Hou Li to thank you?" Zhu Zhen also sat down and said with a relaxed expression: "Since you have sent him to Mr. Liu for verification, why don't you wait until he comes back."

"Humph, that's fine." Concubine Da Ding nodded and ordered, "Bring some snacks for the children to His Highness King Chu."

"No need to bother, I'll just eat this." Zhu Zhen reached out and picked up a golden orange from the plate on the table.

He didn't want to risk touching the pastries and tea in Changyang Palace, but if he didn't dare to eat anything, he would be too timid. It is better to eat fruits that need to be peeled, which is safe and hygienic.

While His Highness the King of Chu was checking whether the tangerine peels were intact, he still said angrily: "I didn't expect you, Madam, would still have tribute tangerines to eat. We only have oranges in the palace."

"Who are you calling old?!" Concubine Da Ding, who had always maintained her grace, lost her guard because of these words.

"I have given birth to three children in the second palace, and the children are already over ten years old. Do you think you are still a delicate flower?" Zhu Zhen put a petal into his mouth, and his cheeks trembled in comfort.

It's so sweet and moist.

"Who are you talking about entering the palace for the second time?" Concubine Da Ding was furious. The episode with Chen Youliang was a dark history that she could not mention.

"Isn't this something that even the old lady in the cave in Ninghe County, Shaanxi Province knows?" Zhu Zhen opened his eyes wide and said, "Do you still think it's a secret? No, no?"

"You, you..." Concubine Da Ding's towering chest rose and fell violently, she slapped the table angrily and said, "Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"Hit me. If you dare to touch my finger, I will faint you. Do you believe that I can vomit blood?" Zhu Zhen took the initiative to put his face forward and deliberately said to her angrily:

"You are extremely stupid to call a ten-year-old child into the palace alone! If I mess with you, you will have nothing to say!"

"You damn old man..." Concubine Da Ding's raised hand hung in the air for a while, then she finally put it down.

What Lao Liu said was right, he could really blackmail him.

This is the consequence of letting him come in alone.

But who would have thought that a ten-year-old fool could hide so many evil intentions?

Beaten and beaten, scolded and scolded, Concubine Ding was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, at this time, Eunuch Hou came back panting.

"Did you see it?" Concubine Da Ding became energetic again.

"I see." Eunuch Hou nodded and looked at King Chu, seeing that he had no intention of avoiding him.

Hou Lixie had no choice but to walk to his empress' side and report in a low voice the content of his conversation with Liu Bowen.

~~

Earlier.

In the duty room at the east end of the library of Dabentang, Hou Lixie found Liu Bowen reading.

Eunuch Hou first complained to Liu Bowen about King Qi's early departure and made up for his leave.

"I know." Liu Bowen turned a page and nodded: "His Royal Highness's condition at that time was indeed not suitable for returning to school. So I won't deduct points for him this time."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir." After Hou Li thanked him, he lingered and refused to leave.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Ji asked without raising his head.

"Yes, my wife would like to ask, sir, if you know who harmed my Highness?"

"It's the King of Chu. I have already punished him." Liu Jizhi said without hesitation.

"Then why did he bully my Highness?" the old eunuch asked tentatively.

"The King of Chu believes that it was King Qi who pushed him into the water on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year." Liu Ji said simply.

"Haha, how is that possible?" Hou Lixie laughed dryly and said, "Children talk without telling the truth. My husband didn't see that day. His Highness was present, right?"

"Sitting here," Liu Ji finally raised his head, pointed out the window and said, "It's hard not to see."

"Ah..." Hou Lixie followed what Liu Ji expected, and indeed he could clearly see the lotus pond behind the rockery from the window.

"Sir, did you really see that my Highness... was related to King Chu falling into the water?" the old eunuch asked with difficulty.

Liu Ji nodded.

"Oh, please keep it a secret, Mr. Liu." Hou Li Xie knelt down in front of Liu Ji and kowtowed: "Please, sir, for the sake of teachers and students, please protect our Highness!"

"Isn't His Highness the King of Chu my student?" Liu Ji asked calmly.

"This..." Hou Lixie was at a loss for words. He wanted to promise generous gifts and bribes, but the other party was the upright Liu Bowen, so it would definitely be counterproductive.

He could only kowtow and beg until his forehead was bruised, and then he heard Mr. Liu sigh and say:

"You asked the wrong person."

"What do you mean?" Hou Lixie is a smart man and can tell the truth.

~~

Changyang Si Zhengdian.

Hou Lixie whispered to Concubine Ding: "Mr. Liu means that this matter is big or small. As a teacher, he must take the relationship between teachers and students into consideration, so he will not take the initiative to report the disciples."

"But the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. If the King of Chu decides to ask him to testify. A gentleman knows right from wrong, and he can't refuse." Hou Lixie continued: "So the key is to see His Highness the King of Chu, whether he wants to hide from each other or not. I’m going to report this to the emperor.”

Concubine Ding's complexion changed several times, and she was troubled for a long time. Fang struggled to squeeze out a dry smile, and said flatteringly to His Highness the King of Chu, who was peeling orange peels all over the ground:

"I still have two baskets of tribute oranges here. If your Highness likes to eat anything else, my aunt will send them to you as well..."
