The emperor's head was throbbing with pain.

He looked at King Jin.

"Prince Jin!"

He was about to shout again, but when he saw the delicate and tall figure of King Jin, he paused and lowered his voice.

It’s so frustrating!

"The Lu family's matter was caused by your country princess. Why didn't you tell me in advance when you knew about it?"

As the Emperor spoke, the anger rose again and the volume increased.

"You are also a member of the royal family. You have lost face like this. You don't want the face of Prince Jin anymore, right?"

Prince Jin covered his chest.

The emperor took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "If you had explained the matter clearly before I issued the decree to grant the marriage, I could have torn up even the marriage certificate in front of all the civil and military officials in the court! I could have even killed all nine clans of his Lu family right then and there!"

Later, the volume was raised again.

"You knew it clearly, yet you watched me fall into such a huge joke! Zhou Shiyue!"

The emperor shouted angrily.

"Royal brother." Prince Jin sat up straight, put down his hand that was covering his heart, and looked at the emperor steadily.

The emperor paused.

"You still want to quibble?"

"I have always spoken my mind since I was young, and I never quibble. Even if it's something unpleasant that makes others want to cry, I never embellish it."

The emperor was speechless, because it was indeed the case.

"Then what do you want to say?"

Zhou Shiyue pointed at the second prince.

"What did Zhou Ling just say?"

The prince responded at the right time.

"He said that even Lu Ming, who had been married to Jin Qiaozhen for more than ten years, didn't know that she was a slave, so how could he know?"

Zhou Shiyue spread his hands and said, "So, he, a future son-in-law of Jin Qiaozhen, didn't even know about it, how could an outsider like me know?"

emperor:"......"

Second Prince: Who is Jin Qiaozhen's future son-in-law? You're cursing me so filthy!!!

Concubine Shu cried out.

"How could you not know? This was revealed by Lu Zhaoling! Didn't she tell you everything she knew?"

The second prince also shouted, "Yes, it was Lu Zhaoling who did it. She is a troublemaker!"

"boom!"

Zhou Shiyue kicked the second prince.

He used hidden strength in this kick.

Although his knee also felt a sudden pain, he kicked the Second Prince directly to the ground.

The second prince screamed instantly, covered his ribs where he was kicked, and curled up into a ball.

it hurts!

The emperor stood up suddenly.

"Zhou Shiyue!"

Inverted!

He actually kicked someone in front of him!

The prince did not expect that his uncle would kick Zhou Ling on the spot.

Concubine Shu rushed over, "Son!"

Zhou Shiyue flicked his finger and Concubine Shu's legs went limp. With this pounce, she fell heavily on the Second Prince.

"what!!!"

The second prince let out an even louder scream.

The hidden force of Zhou Shiyue's kick just now had already cracked his ribs, but it was only slightly. However, Shufei's attack was different.

Everyone heard a click.

The emperor was in a daze and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

No, did Concubine Shu directly break her son's ribs? Why did I hear the sound of broken bones?

"Hurry up and pull her up!"

The emperor shouted and walked around the desk.

"My lady, get up quickly."

"Your Highness, are you okay, Second Prince?"

The scene before my eyes was a complete mess.

The prince felt that it was the first time in seventeen years that he had seen the imperial study so messy at night.

"Tan Liang!"

The emperor roared.

Doctor Tan was guarding the door and came in quickly.

Fortunately, I secretly massaged my knees with my hands while standing, and then leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and I felt better.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to get up after kneeling for so long.

"Show him quickly!" The emperor's throat was about to split.

The second prince slowed down, and his whole body looked like a fish washed ashore, half-dead and gasping for breath.

Tan Liang hurriedly examined the second prince.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has two broken ribs..." Tan Liang finished the examination and added, "It's not a serious fracture. Bandage it and fix it. Move slowly and be careful. He will recover slowly, but don't get too excited. Avoid shouting and panting."

The second prince wanted to shout at this time.

He has broken ribs, and you're still talking about it as if it's just a minor injury?

"Bandage him quickly!" the emperor shouted with a green face.

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Tan was busy, and the Emperor glared at Zhou Shiyue.

"Did I ask you to come in and beat someone up?"

Although Zhou Shiyue's knees hurt a lot, he still slowly stood up at this time.

When he stood up straight, he was half a head taller than the emperor, and his posture was straight and majestic. This contrast almost made Concubine Shu, who was so angry and hurt that she was almost going crazy, die.

Who made the one who was frustrated?

The emperor almost wanted to take a step back.

If he stood closer, he would have to look up!

"Brother Emperor asked me to enter the palace at this hour to deal with the affairs of the younger generation. Naturally, it is because I am his elder and his uncle, right?"

Emperor: Can you say it’s wrong?

"This matter could have been discussed in court tomorrow, but my brother chose to discuss it here. Isn't it because he thought that it should be considered a family matter first and discussed among his own people, and it doesn't count as a state matter in court, right?"

Emperor: Right?

"Since this is a family matter and I am the elder, then what is my future princess to Zhou Ling?"

Prince: "Of course it's my aunt."

"This marriage was also decided by my brother. Zhou Ling keeps calling Lu Zhaoling a troublemaker," Zhou Shiyue said with a look of anger. "Does he take the imperial decree seriously, or does he take me, his elder, seriously?"

"My father often said that although we are in the royal family, once we leave the court, we are family members first and subjects second. Only in this way can we maintain family affection and pass on filial piety. Now, as an uncle, am I wrong to teach such a naughty nephew who speaks ill of his aunt a lesson?"

"One more question, my brother, think carefully," Prince Jin looked at Concubine Shu again, "Concubine Shu can also think back, when you first talked about this marriage, was I the one who was always trying to stop and oppose it? Although I didn't know that Jin Qiaozhen was a slave at the time, her behavior also made her unfit to be the prince's mother-in-law."

"But who among you has listened to my advice?"

When asked this question, Concubine Shu opened her mouth but was speechless.

The prince said softly, "But uncle, no matter what, you shouldn't move...your feet."

"I was very measured in my actions, just pretending," Zhou Shiyue glanced at Concubine Shu, "It wasn't me who broke Zhou Ling's ribs."

Concubine Shu:? ? ?

The emperor closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

"Besides, Lu Zhaoling's biological mother is not Jin Qiaozhen, and she is most likely not Lu Ming's biological daughter. Didn't I come to confess this to my brother the moment I found out about it last time? Whose fiancée is she? Who should investigate it? Why would I investigate Jin Qiaozhen?"

When Prince Jin arrived here, all his strength came out again and he spread his hands.
