After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 59: Loving Son

Seeing Concubine Hua take the initiative to apologize to the Emperor, Concubine Qi was a little surprised.

She thought that with Concubine Hua's proud character, she would definitely not plead guilty. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to plead guilty to the emperor.

The Emperor looked at Concubine Qi, "Did Nian Fu and Nian Bin really instigate the Third Prince to skip classes and go out to play?"

Concubine Qi was startled for a moment, feeling guilty, and then nodded hastily.

"Your Majesty, you know the Third Prince well. Apart from studying hard, why would this child think of skipping classes?"

The emperor nodded and asked calmly, "Is it Concubine Hua's fault? After all, Nian Fu and Nian Bin have been kept in Yikun Palace recently."

Concubine Qi glanced at Concubine Hua and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince almost died! Go check on him, he hasn't woken up yet!"

The emperor looked at the eunuch who was beating the children with a stick, and then looked at Nian Fu and Nian Bin who were already silent after being beaten. "That's enough. They are still children. If they are beaten for a reason, how can I explain to General Nian when he comes back?"

After hearing the emperor's words, the two eunuchs dared not hit him with the boards anymore.

The emperor stared at Concubine Qi and asked, "What do you think?"

Concubine Qi was frightened by the emperor's stare, she lowered her head and smiled timidly, "Yes, I think so too."

Concubine Qi looked at the two eunuchs and said, "Why are you hitting them without restraint? Didn't I tell you to count? Why do you keep hitting them?"

The two eunuchs were so frightened that they dropped the boards, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The emperor turned to look at Concubine Hua and said, "Go and have a look. Ask the imperial physician to come and have a look."

Concubine Hua walked quickly towards Nian Fu and Nian Bin, and saw that they had fainted. She felt a lump in her throat, and glanced at Concubine Qi with a cold gaze. Concubine Qi turned her head away in fear.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is in the room, and he won't wake up no matter how hard you try."

The emperor exhaled a breath of foul air, "Okay, I will go see him."

At this moment, a little palace maid ran out of the Third Prince's room.

"My Lady, the Third Prince has woken up."

Concubine Qi stared at the little palace maid in shock. The little palace maid didn't know what she had done wrong. When she saw the emperor coming, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Okay, the Third Prince is awake, I'll go check it out."

As the emperor walked past Concubine Hua, he gently patted her shoulder and said, "I will see to it that justice is done."

Hua Fei's tears rolled down her face, not because of the emperor, but because of Nian Fu and Nian Bin.

Concubine Qi was far away and couldn't hear clearly what the Emperor and Concubine Hua were saying. As soon as she got closer, the Emperor walked into the house and Concubine Qi could only follow him.

"Your Majesty." The Third Prince almost fainted again when he saw his father coming to see him.

He tried to sit up, but was held down by the emperor.

"If you're not feeling well, don't get up."

The third prince lay down in fear, "I am guilty and made Father Huang worried."

Seeing the Third Prince's panic, Concubine Qi was afraid that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so she wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, you see, the Third Prince is frightened! It's all because of Nian Fu and Nian Bin, who instigated the Third Prince to skip classes and go out to play!"

The emperor threw the Buddhist beads in his hand hard onto his knees.

"Don't cry, Concubine Qi, what do you want to do? You have already beaten Nian Fu and Nian Bin half to death, what else do you want?"

Seeing the emperor angry, Concubine Qi was so scared that she couldn't cry.

The emperor was indeed on guard against Nian Gengyao, but Nian Gengyao was still fighting for him on the front line to defend the country. If Nian Fu and Nian Bin were really killed by Concubine Qi, Nian Gengyao would have rebelled even if he didn't want to.

Concubine Qi said awkwardly, "I didn't have any intentions. I just wanted the Emperor to make the decision for the Third Prince."

The emperor snorted coldly, pointed at Concubine Qi, stared at her coldly for a long time without saying a word.

The silent emperor is the most terrifying. Concubine Qi knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am only worried about the Third Prince."

When the Third Prince saw the Emperor getting angry, he, not knowing what had happened, also sat up and said, "Father, this is all my fault. Don't blame Mother."

The emperor looked at the third prince and asked, "Where did you do wrong? Tell me."

Concubine Qi suddenly looked up at the Third Prince, desperately signaling him with her eyes not to plead for her.

Although the third prince is stupid, he is very filial.

He gritted his teeth, sat up and kowtowed.

"Father, I am just being playful and want to go to the lake to play. It has nothing to do with you, mother. Father, please don't blame me."

"Hongshi, you are so confused. How can it be your fault? It was clearly Nian Fu and Nian Bin who instigated you!" When Concubine Qi heard Hongshi telling the whole truth, she hurried to stop him.

The Third Prince was also confused for a moment.

The emperor stared into Hongshi's eyes and asked, "Let me ask you again, is it you who wants to go to the lake to play, or is it Nian Fu and Nian Bin who want to go?"

Being stared at so fiercely by the Emperor, the Third Prince felt a chill down his spine.

"Hongshi, Nian Fu and Nian Bin have already admitted that it was their fault. You don't have to blame yourself or take any responsibility for them." Concubine Qi said indirectly.

The emperor just looked at the third prince without saying anything.

The Third Prince's hair stood on end when he was stared at.

After a long while, he said with difficulty: "It was Nian Fu and Nian Bin who asked me to skip classes and go out to play. I didn't want to, but they kept urging me to go."

The emperor raised his lips slightly and asked, "So it was Nian Fu and Nian Bin who instigated you to skip class?"

The Third Prince looked at Concubine Qi, and Concubine Qi nodded at him.

The Third Prince mustered up his courage and said, "Yes, it was Nian Fu and Nian Bin who instigated me to go."

The emperor closed his eyes slightly and then smiled. When the third prince saw the emperor smile, he thought the matter was over and smiled too.

The same goes for Concubine Qi.

But at this moment, a crisp "pop" sound was heard in the room!

The emperor stood up at some point and slapped Concubine Qi in the face.

The force was so great that Concubine Qi's ears started buzzing.

The Third Prince turned pale with fear and grabbed the Emperor's hand, "Father, please don't hit my mother. It's my fault!"

The emperor took the Third Prince's hand off his sleeve, patted his face, and said with a sneer, "You are my son. You are right. I believe you. Therefore, this can only be your mother's fault."

The Third Prince cried, "Father, it's my fault."

The emperor turned around and glared at the third prince coldly, "If you say you are wrong, then Nian Fu and Nian Bin who were beaten half to death outside are right. How should I explain this to Nian Gengyao? Lobsang Danjin is aggressively leading his troops north, and you go to redress my injustice?"

The Third Prince was so frightened by the Emperor's words that he froze and dared not say a word.

The Emperor walked towards Concubine Qi step by step, "I know you love your son very much. Concubine Hua has indeed been a little willful over the years. But you shouldn't have chosen this critical moment to cause trouble. You shouldn't have."

Concubine Qi cried and crawled towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, did Concubine Hua gossip in front of you?"
