My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 93 Throw It All Out

Empress Xu sent a eunuch to the prison cell. When he arrived there, he saw Xu Qin lying on the ground and was terrified!

"Master Xu, Master Xu, Master Xu, what happened?" The eunuch ran in quickly and helped Xu Qin, who was lying on the ground. At this moment, Xu Qin pretended to tremble.

"You are crazy. Treating the nephew of the Empress like this, are you going to die?" the eunuch shouted loudly. He knew best how much Empress Xu loved Xu Qin. From yesterday till now, the Empress had said "Shakyabao, my nephew" countless times. Every time Empress Xu mentioned Xu Qin, her tone was full of pride.

Now, Xu Qin is treated like this!
But I remember that Ji Gang, who was beside His Majesty, went to the harem yesterday and reported the arrest of Xu Qin. He also said that Xu Qin would not be wronged in the imperial prison and he could make any requests.

Now, Xu Qin was lying on the ground, and the cell was icy cold.

"Who are you?" Xu Qin asked the eunuch while lying there.

"Mr. Xu, the Queen sent us here to bring you some snacks, fruits, and tea!" the eunuch said to Xu Qin.

"No, throw it out. I don't want her things. Throw them out." Xu Qin immediately struggled and shouted.

"Get out, all of you, get out!" Xu Qin shouted at the eunuchs, and then he saw a bowl of rice of unknown origin placed at the door of the cell, so he picked it up and started eating.

"This, this, this, Master Xu, you can't eat this, you can't eat it, Master Xu!" The eunuch was very anxious, thinking in his heart that the people in the imperial prison were in trouble.

At this moment, a centurion in charge here also came over and saw Xu Qin eating the food, and he looked very proud.

"Are you crazy? How dare you treat Master Xu like this?" the eunuch pointed at the captain and shouted.

The captain didn't care and said coldly: "This is the imperial prison. All prisoners eat the same food and no one has ever been treated specially."

"Okay, okay, okay, fine, I won't say any more of this to you. I'll go back to the palace now. Mr. Xu, please bear with it for a while. The Empress will definitely make the decision for you!" The eunuch was also very angry and was about to leave.

"Take the things away, I don't want them!" Xu Qin pointed at the things on the ground, and the eunuch was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the eunuch didn't move, Xu Qin struggled to stand up, picked up the things and threw them outside.

The eunuch's face changed drastically. This, this, the Queen will have to kill a few people later. His nephew threw out the things he sent. If this gets out, the Queen will lose face.

After throwing away his things, Xu Qin continued to eat the prison food, which seemed to taste good. Mainly, he was hungry as he hadn't eaten for a day.

In the future, whenever my aunt asks me for something, I can proudly tell her that I have been in prison and don’t want to be in prison anymore. I don’t want to do anything and just lie down at home.

When the eunuch saw Xu Qin like this, he knew that he could not persuade him any more, so he immediately hurried to the palace.

At this moment, Empress Xu was still preparing things for the New Year. This time, she got a lot of money by dealing with those eunuchs and female officials, which also enriched the treasury.

Zhang was also standing nearby, reporting on some matters regarding the treasury.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" The eunuch walked in quickly, knelt down in front of Empress Xu and kowtowed.

When Empress Xu heard this, she frowned and looked at the eunuch.

"I just went to the imperial prison. Young Master Xu was lying curled up on the ground, shaking all over. I brought him food, but he said no. He also threw out everything the queen had sent him and even ate the food from the imperial prison!" said the eunuch, kneeling there and kowtowing.

"What did you say?" Empress Xu suddenly stood up and asked the eunuch fiercely while staring at him. Zhang was horrified. This, this, this was not what she said yesterday. Moreover, when Xie came to the palace yesterday, her mother promised that Sakya would be kept in the cell and would not be wronged.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Xu was very angry, and I couldn't persuade him. He threw all those things out." The eunuch continued to say to Queen Xu.

Empress Xu was a little distracted at the moment, and then she shouted angrily: "Let the eldest and third son roll over here!"

"Yes, yes!" The eunuch immediately got up and went out.

Empress Xu was walking anxiously in the warm room. Xu Qin was wronged in the cell. Ji Gang told her yesterday that Xu Qin could make any request. But now, he was lying on the ground, trembling all over, eating prison food, and throwing out the things she had sent him. Then, then, wouldn't his mother and brother hate him to death?
Wouldn’t Shakya Bao hate himself to death?
At this moment, Empress Xu was shaking with anger, and then she shouted to a eunuch at the door: "Go to Jiming Temple and call His Majesty back, and also, ask Ji Gang to wash his neck clean!"

Ji Gang is so bold that he actually dares to lie to me?

My eldest nephew suffered so much injustice in the imperial prison!

After a while, Zhu Gaochi came over. He didn't know what happened, but he heard from the messenger that his mother was very angry. Zhu Gaochi hurried over in fear. "Mother!" Zhu Gaochi came in and saluted Empress Xu.

"Wait until the third brother comes!" Queen Xu said with a dark face and an angry tone.

Zhu Gaochi was in a state of panic. What had happened? He could not help but look at Zhang who was standing not far away. Zhang turned her head to look elsewhere. With her mother here, what should she say?
Zhu Gaochi could only stand there and wait.

Zhu Gaosui was originally in the palace, cleaning up those who were colluding with the inner palace and outsiders. When he heard that he was summoned by the old lady and that she was very angry, Zhu Gaosui was so scared that his scalp numbed and he had to rush to Kunning Palace.

When I arrived at Kunning Palace, I saw Zhu Gaochi standing there.

"Mother!" Zhu Gaosui walked over and saluted.

"Kneel down!" After Xu said that, she went to touch the whip. When Zhu Gaosui saw it, he was shocked. Why is it happening again?
"Mother, I am your son, your son, your son, but I didn't do anything. Mother, what happened? Big brother, please don't cheat me. I didn't do anything." Zhu Gaosui knelt down and shouted hurriedly. After he finished shouting, he found that his mother did not let him go at all, so he looked up and said to Zhu Gaochi.

"I don't know what happened." Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"Ah!" Zhu Gaosui was confused, and his eldest brother didn't know what was going on.

Empress Xu came to Zhu Gaosui with a whip and pointed it at him: "I ask you, is Bao'er in the imperial prison?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded blankly: "Yes, he was sent here yesterday. I went to see him. He was locked up in a solitary cell."

"Are his food, drinks and other things ready?" Queen Xu continued to ask.

"Ah? Get ready. No one told me, mother. I was not the one who captured Sakya Bao. I have been busy with palace affairs these days. Mother, is there any misunderstanding?" Zhu Gaosui shouted immediately. This matter had nothing to do with him.

"Mom, don't get excited. What exactly happened?" Zhu Gaochi immediately advised.

"What happened? Okay, okay, you all bullied my nephew, ah! You made my nephew sleep on the ground, shivering with cold, and eat prison food, without even a quilt? You want to kill my Baoer, right? Ah, is that so?" Empress Xu said and hit Zhu Gaosui.

"Mom, mom, I don't know. This has nothing to do with me!" Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly. He felt a little guilty at the moment. Yesterday, Xu Qin asked for a stove, a quilt, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he ignored him. Now he was in trouble.

Zhu Gaosui was whipped several times and was in so much pain that he could only shout out loud, "Mom, I was wrong. I really didn't know it!"

"Okay, okay! You all are bullying my Bao'er! Do you know that Bao'er went to the Weaving Bureau for me? It was because I asked him to rectify the Weaving Bureau that he offended so many people. Now, there is a problem at the Weaving Bureau, and it was Bao'er who went to jail. You treat Bao'er like this? Ah? Your mother's life was also saved by Bao'er.

Baoer is freezing over there, being wronged over there! Throw out all the things that my mother sent me. Are you planning to make me never come back to my parents' home in this life? Ah? So you can bully me unscrupulously? Ah?" Empress Xu continued to beat him.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately knelt down and shouted to Empress Xu: "Mother, we dare not. We will go to the imperial prison right away and see him right away."

"Yes, yes, let's go see him right away. Mother, I didn't know!" Zhu Gaosui still shouted. He would never admit it even if he died. Once he admitted it, his mother would really kick him out of the capital and make him go to the vassal state.

"Get out! Bao'er, if you haven't forgiven your mother, get out of the capital!" Empress Xu shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, let's go now, let's go now!" Zhu Gaosui quickly got up, and so did Zhu Gaochi.

The two of them quickly left the warm room. Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Gaosui and cursed, "Are you sick? You bully Shajiabao? Don't you know that Shajiabao is my sweetheart?"

"I don't have any! Big brother. I, I, let's go!" Zhu Gaosui immediately pushed Zhu Gaochi outside. After a few steps, Zhu Gaosui immediately thought of what Xu Qin said yesterday, so he said, "Big brother, go to your East Palace and get a bed, a desk, writing brushes, inkstones, tea, and, and, and food."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaosui.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's mine. I'll give you the money when the time comes." Zhu Gaosui said to Zhu Gaozhi.

Soon, the two brothers arrived at the imperial prison cell with their belongings.

Xu Qin was lying on the ground, feeling so damn cold. This self-torture tactic probably worked, as long as his aunt knew about it.

When Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui went in and saw Xu Qin lying there, they were terrified. Zhu Gaochi walked over quickly and supported Xu Qin, who pretended to tremble all over.
