The Queen Mother walked up to Helian Qi and slapped him without hesitation, "How dare you harm your brothers!"

"Grandmother, my grandson doesn't have it." Helian Qi felt very aggrieved. He knelt on the ground and turned to look at Emperor Wen of Zhou.

The emperor loved him the most, and he would never watch him get beaten. Even the emperor's grandmother would not allow that.

However, he was disappointed.

Emperor Wen of Zhou, who loved him the most, did not say anything to stop him, and even stared at him with a questioning look.

Such a look not only made Helian Qi shiver, but also made the Queen panic.

What did he mean by this? Was he doubting Qi'er? If he doubted Qi'er, then wasn't that doubting her?

"Your Majesty, Qier would never do such a thing." The Queen naturally protected Helian Qi.

Even though she thought Helian Qi was as stupid as a pig, she also knew that at this time, she and her son must not start a quarrel.

"Yes, Qi'er is indeed not as capable as Chen'er. He has never been on the battlefield and has never made any military achievements. However, he is kind-hearted by nature. How could he do such a thing as killing his brothers?"

"There must be a misunderstanding here. Or maybe he was framed."

"Queen!" The Queen Mother's cold voice sounded.

A pair of sword-like eyes stared straight at the queen, "Framed? Who framed him? The queen means that Chen'er hurt herself and then put the blame on him?"

"I have asked someone to investigate. So many court officials saw that he was the one who injured the person."

"I just don't believe that the Queen didn't ask anyone to find out the whole story. If that's the case, why do you still need to put the blame on Chen'er?"

"Mother, I didn't." The Queen looked at the Queen Mother with grievance, "I just don't believe Qi'er would do something that would disappoint the Emperor."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law asked someone to find out. It was indeed Qi'er who accidentally bumped into Chen'er. But, if such a light bump could cause someone to bleed so much, how powerful must Qi'er be?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know whether Qi'er has this skill? To really hit Chen'er like this, either Qi'er's martial arts must be the best in the world. Or Qi'er must have a sword in his hand."

"But none of the court officials saw Qi'er holding a sword. Moreover, this was in the Qianqing Palace, and the court had just ended. How could Qi'er hold a sword in the palace?"

"I beg the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation and give Qi'er justice and innocence!"

After saying this, the queen knelt down towards the emperor.

Outside the door, Mu Changlin and Mu Shaochen, father and son, looked at each other and understood each other.

As expected of the Queen! Her thoughts are so clear.

Indeed, the Third Prince did not have a sword in his hand, nor did he have such invincible skills.

Therefore, the only explanation is that the Second Prince was already injured.

The Queen's meaning was very clear: the Second Prince wanted to use this to slander the Third Prince.

But what the father and son were more curious about was who injured the Second Prince?

Given the Second Prince's skills, how skilled would one have to be to hurt him?

And beside him there is also a Ling Chi who is equally skilled.

Who could have hurt him so badly?

If Nian An knew about this, he would be heartbroken!

The father and son looked at each other again, wondering whether they should hide the fact that the Second Prince was injured from Nian An?

The Queen Mother actually thought that what the Queen said made sense, but she just felt dissatisfied.

Or maybe he actually wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on the Queen and her son.

Ever since she learned about the Queen from Xu Zhimiao's inner voice, the Queen Mother felt so sick that she almost died.

He always wanted to reveal the true face of the queen.

But the Queen Mother also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The queen has been disguising herself for so many years, and until now, she still hasn't revealed any flaws.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to hear Zhimiao's inner voice, she would still foolishly believe in the Queen, a person with a beastly heart.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Queen Mother, and Third Prince."

The imperial physician who came out of Helian Chen's house hurriedly saluted the emperor and others.

Upon seeing this, the queen quickly stood up and took up her position as queen.

She is the mother of a country and the head of the harem. How could she let a subject see her being so rude?

"How is Chen'er? Is he seriously injured?" the Queen Mother asked anxiously, "No matter what method you use, you must make sure Chen'er is safe!"

"Whatever medicine you need, use it, no matter how expensive it is! I only have one request, that Chen'er be safe."

The imperial physician quickly bowed to the queen mother again, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, the Second Prince is fine now."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked sternly, "How was he injured? Where was he injured? What weapon hurt him?"

"Don't tell me yet!" The Queen said sternly, "If you dare to say even one word that is untrue, I will never let you off easily!"

"Yes, yes!" The imperial physician responded quickly, turning his head to look at the emperor cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince was stabbed by a dagger. According to this judgement, this injury should have been inflicted yesterday..."

"Father, Father, I said it was none of my business." Helian Qi interrupted the doctor and burst into tears, "I didn't have a knife in my hand at that time!"

"I just bumped into my second brother by accident. Father, why don't you believe me? Wuwu...why doesn't the Royal Grandmother believe me either."

"Grandmother, my second brother and I are both your grandchildren. Why do you favor my second brother so much?"

Queen Mother: "..."

How shameful! A prince is crying like this? Is he still manly? Is he still royal?

There is simply no comparison with her Chen'er!

How can a person like this inherit the throne in the future, how can he give confidence to the people of the Great Zhou, and how can he ensure peace and prosperity for the people of the Great Zhou?

"Please continue." Emperor Wen of Zhou said in a deep voice to the imperial physician, looking at Helian Qi, whose face was covered with tears and snot.

"Yes!" the imperial physician replied, "The Second Prince's injuries have been treated and bandaged. It was just that he was hit again just now, which caused the wound to split and bleed."

"I have reapplied medicine to the Second Prince's wound. During this period of time, the Second Prince needs to rest and recuperate. Do not make any big moves."

"Besides, the wound is really deep."

"Understood." The emperor nodded without any change in expression.

It is hard to guess what he is thinking at the moment. Is he worried about his son Helian Chen, or does he not care about his son's life or death?

"Go away." He waved to the imperial physician.

Several other imperial doctors who came out of Helian Chen's room also left with him.

"Father..."

"Shut up!" The emperor glared at him fiercely, and Helian Qi was so scared that he immediately shut up.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for your minor injury. It is a minor injury that has caused your Majesty to worry." Helian Chen came out from the inner room, clasped his fists respectfully and knelt on one knee towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Queen Mother." Concubine Qiong's voice came from outside the door.

Then Helian Chen trembled violently, his face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

He looked at Concubine Qiong with a look of horror and extreme fear.
