The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Situ Qing was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and brows furrowed, apparently not asleep yet.

Concubine Li sat next to him, her eyes red from crying.

Qu Pei brought in the medicine bowl and whispered, "My queen, please try to persuade him. Don't let His Majesty get angry again."

"Is it that I don't want to persuade him? The key is that the emperor simply won't listen to what I say."

Concubine Li was anxious and angry, and blurted out: "You damn old woman, you are acting like a coward at this time."

Qu Pei: “…” That’s all. It’s good enough that you don’t add fuel to the fire.

Qu Pei retreated to the outer room and waited. Concubine Li brought the medicine and helped Situ Qing drink it. She said softly, "Don't be angry. I just asked for you. Whether it's the fifth prince or the eldest princess, their sons are now out of danger. When you recover and get a good night's sleep, they may come to pay their respects to you tomorrow."

Situ Qing sighed: "Greetings? If it was Yan'er before, maybe she would come over, but now I'm afraid... cough cough..."

He coughed twice and suppressed his words, but Concubine Li didn't understand.

"As for Qing'er, humph, I don't think she would dare to come."

Situ Qing snorted coldly. Originally, when Situ Qing was fine, he was just suspicious. But now that Situ Qing was in trouble, no matter how dumb he was, he could smell something was wrong.

How could it be such a coincidence that something happened only in the village, and it happened to Situ Lang.

Concubine Li rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you suspicious of the eldest princess..."

"Don't ask too much. Knowing too much will not do you any good."

Situ Qing raised his hand to interrupt her, took a breath and said, "Where are Feng'er and Xu'er? Are they all right?"

"It's okay, what could happen to them?"

Concubine Li didn't understand why. Thinking of her daughter's appearance when she came to pay her respects, she sighed again, "Feng'er must have been frightened. Her face was pale, and she didn't say much to me. She didn't even eat a few bites of food."

Situ Qing nodded, his eyes dim and unclear. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, ask Feng Er to go and see if Yuan Tang is awake. If she is seriously ill, ask the imperial physician to come over. If she is fine, tell her to take time to come and see me."

Concubine Li asked curiously, "Is it just Xie Yuantang? Your Majesty, don't you want to see the Fifth Prince?"

Situ Qing laughed at himself: "If Yuan Tang is willing to come, he will come naturally. If Yuan Tang can't come, he won't come even if I send someone to call him."

"elder sister."

Situ Xu stopped at the door for a moment, then shouted back all the palace maids and eunuchs, closed the door, and then walked over: "Mother said that father is fine, don't worry."

He glanced at the almost untouched food on the table, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he forced a smile and said, "Sister, why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"

As he spoke, he took the chopsticks and picked up half a piece of cake: "I asked them to make this specially, sister, would you like to try it?"

Before the chopsticks reached Situ Feng, they were suddenly opened by her hand.

"Clap."

Half a piece of cake fell to the ground and was covered with dirt.

Situ Xu's face changed slightly, he put down his chopsticks, and his voice became deeper: "What's wrong with you, sister? Why are you angry with me when everything is fine?"

"Okay?"

Situ Feng stood opposite him, staring at him with big eyes: "Brother Crown Prince has gone crazy, Fifth Brother is badly injured, Xie Yuantang hasn't woken up yet, and even Father has vomited blood, and you tell me this is fine?"

Situ Xu frowned slightly: "How unreasonable, I didn't do any of this, you care too much about others!"

Situ Feng stamped her feet in anger, took two steps forward, grabbed his collar by the shoulder, bit her lip and said, "Don't tell me any reason. I can't win you any argument, but I'm not a fool!"

"How dare you say that Fifth Brother's affairs have nothing to do with you? You had no idea that he and Xie Yuantang had become like that?"

Situ Feng's eyes were filled with bitterness, and her bright pupils were clear: "Do you dare to say it? Or, Xu'er, are you going to lie to me too?"

Situ Xu was slightly startled, and took her hand away irritably: "Anyway, I didn't do it, and it wasn't my fault that they did that."

Situ Feng was stunned for a moment, took a small step back, fell into the chair, and murmured: "So you really know."

Seeing her like this, Situ Xu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know, I just... guessed a little, but I didn't expect this result, really."

His brows were tied in knots. He sat next to Situ Feng, stretched out his hand and pressed the back of her hand. His voice was a little aggrieved: "Sister, you can't put the blame on me. This is not fair."

Situ Feng glanced at him, his eyes slowly falling on their intertwined hands: "If we are to be fair, what did Fifth Brother do wrong? Who did Xie Yuantang offend again?"

Situ Xu pursed his lips: "After all this talk, you still blame me?"

Situ Feng took a deep breath, slowly pulled his hand away, shook his head and said, "No, I don't blame you, Xu'er, I know everything you did was for me and my mother."

"We don't have a strong maternal clan to support us. You are the sixth child, and there are so many older brothers ahead of you. The emperor doesn't see you, and that position won't be yours. So you can only support one of your older brothers, so that we can still have a good life in the future."

As Situ Feng spoke, tears fell uncontrollably: "I used to think you supported the Fourth Prince, so I wanted to help him. Later, when the Fourth Prince got into trouble, I realized something was wrong. It's the same this time..."

"do not Cry."

Situ Xu reached out his hand and wiped away her tears with his fingertips.

Situ Feng raised her head and choked up, "Do we have to use this method? Can't we compete openly and honestly? We are family!"

"Last time we were missing our fourth brother, this time it's the Crown Prince and the fifth brother, what about next time?"

"Xu'er, the person you support is so cruel, will he really tolerate us?"

Situ Xu's eyes were complicated. After a moment, he laughed at himself and said, "Sister, at this point, I can't get off the boat."

In fact, the royal family’s infighting and intrigues were bloody and cruel.

Situ Xu never had any psychological burden in the past, and his conscience had long been thrown to the ground.

Since when did he gradually develop a conscience that he shouldn't have?

Since when did he really treat those people as brothers and sisters?

The figure of Xie Yuantang appeared before my eyes.

They got into trouble together, ate hot pot together, and participated in competitions together...

It was noisy, irritating and jumping up and down, but I couldn't help but want to be close to such excitement.

Situ Xu smiled bitterly. It was probably since the appearance of Xie Yuantang that they all became abnormal.

Hearing Situ Xu say that he couldn't get off the boat, Situ Feng was stunned for a long time, and whispered:

"I understand. Then... I won't look for Fifth Brother and Xie Yuantang anymore."

Situ Xu was stunned.

Situ Feng held her chin, looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and said softly, "I don't have the face to see them."
