Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"what!"

A shrill scream resounded throughout the East Hall of Taiji Palace. Everyone in Tangxia looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Concubine Cen's face was pale and her hands, which were covered with red nail polish, were trembling as she pointed at the wooden box. Emperor Hui, who was beside her, also had an unsightly expression on his face. He hugged Concubine Cen into his arms and knocked over the wooden box with a flick of his sleeve.

Everyone saw the wooden box fall off the table, and a round object rolled out and landed in the middle of the lobby. When people looked closely, they found that the object was actually a bloody head!

Everyone in the house was shocked!

"You evil creature! What is your intention in presenting such filthy things on such a happy day!" Emperor Hui's face turned ashen, his eyes widened with anger. Feeling the person in his arms trembling constantly, he wished he could beat the prince to death on the spot.

"Filthy thing?" Before the prince could answer, a female voice suddenly sounded behind Emperor Hui, with endless mockery in the voice, "Your Majesty, please take a good look. That is your most beloved Cen Ji, Minister Cen."

Facing Emperor Hui's gaze that seemed to want to eat her alive, the queen slowly stood up, walked leisurely to the side of the prince, raised her foot and stepped on the head under her gorgeous embroidered shoes, her usually gentle and respectful face was full of resentment.

"What!" Concubine Cen suddenly broke free from Emperor Hui's arms, her eyes full of disbelief. She threw herself on the table, staring at the head with the face covered by messy hair with bloodshot eyes.

Emperor Hui was horrified. He had just taken a quick glance and did not see the appearance of the head clearly. When he heard what the queen said, he was frightened and pointed at the queen, but could not say a word.

"What is your Highness the Crown Prince going to do? Killing an official appointed by the imperial court? Is he planning a rebellion?" The officials present finally came to their senses from their shock, and the upright official immediately shouted angrily.

"Rebellion? The emperor dotes on the evil concubine and allows the father and son of the Cen family to run rampant and disrupt the government. I am the crown prince and now I am just trying to restore order." The prince took another box from the eunuch, opened the lid and poured it to the ground. Another head with white hair and beard also fell to the ground. That head was exactly the father of Concubine Cen, the current Marquis of Anle - Cen Ang.

"Ah!" Concubine Cen screamed again, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Emperor Hui was shocked, and hurriedly hugged the man again, and angrily shouted to the eunuch beside him: "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"Imperial Physician?" The Queen's face twisted for a moment when she saw him like this, then she sneered and kicked the head away. She didn't care that the blood on the head stained her embroidered shoes. "Now the entire Forbidden Garden has been controlled by my people. Not to mention the imperial physician, I'm afraid not even a bird can fly in."

Emperor Hui's body trembled violently, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter. He stared at the Queen and the Crown Prince with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth and saying, "Bitch! Evil beasts! You two are so unscrupulous, do you really think you have the power in your hands?"

The prince raised his eyes that resembled Emperor Hui, sneered and said, "Father, are you still thinking that my third brother will come to rescue you?"

Emperor Hui's thoughts were exposed and his face became even more gloomy. Prince Chen now controls the tens of thousands of troops in Fuyang, and the crown prince has no military power. If a palace servant who sees that the situation is not right manages to escape from the palace and report the news, Prince Chen will lead his troops and will surely be able to capture the crown prince's party.

"Father, please give up this thought. Have you forgotten that my third brother offended Concubine Cen and was kicked by you? His body has long been broken, and now he is just holding on."

"Moreover, when you sent Cen Ji to the camp, he was very 'competent'. Now everyone in the army wants to eat him alive. If they knew that I have solved their biggest worry, I am afraid they would immediately support me to take the throne. Why would they be willing to come to the king to protect him?"

After hearing him finish his frightening words slowly and steadily, knowing that the situation was already decided, Emperor Hui looked dejected and said dejectedly, "I have always known you to be mediocre and incompetent, but now it seems that you are good at calculating and taking every step carefully."

"Mediocrity? Father, you probably forgot that my mother was born into the Ban family. She taught me carefully since I was born and even invited the world-famous Master Wei to teach me. Master Wei once praised me as 'intelligent and clever, as smart as a jade'. If it weren't for that lowly maid from the Cen family who saw that I was smart and accused me of talking back to her, how could I have been scolded by you and forced Master Wei to resign from his position as Grand Tutor!"

The prince's eyes were red and he roared loudly. His elegant and noble temperament was gone. At this moment, he seemed to no longer be the noble prince of the Eastern Palace, but just an ordinary child who was complaining about his father's partiality and injustice.

Emperor Hui seemed to be evoked by his roaring distant memories. He vaguely remembered that this eldest son who forced the emperor to abdicate and rebelled and was extremely vicious seemed to have been held on his shoulders and pampered. This was his first child, the legitimate son of the Empress, and was very cute. Therefore, although he did not like the Empress, he truly loved this child.

But later one day, Concubine Cen, who was only a concubine at the time, cried to him, saying that the prince insulted her and called her a lowly child born of a horseman or a porter. At first, he did not believe that this well-behaved child would say such heartbreaking words, but later when he personally asked him for confirmation, his usually gentle and well-behaved face showed an extremely harsh and disgusted expression for the first time, and he said to him with confidence: "That Cen Zhu is the daughter of a lowly horseman. I have shown him great mercy by not teaching him a lesson. How dare he complain to my father..."

"Pa!" The six-year-old prince was beaten for the first time, and the one who did it was his father, the emperor, who had always doted on him. The little guy was hit by such a strong force that he fell directly to the ground. He seemed to be stunned. He covered his face for a long time without getting up. His phoenix eyes, which were very similar to those of Emperor Hui, were filled with tears. He looked at Emperor Hui, whose face was ashen, with disbelief.

What happened later? Emperor Hui didn't remember it very clearly. He only vaguely remembered that the prince was taken away crying by the queen. He was so angry that he deposed the officials who were in charge of teaching the prince. Was it the famous Wei family among them?

Recalling this, Emperor Hui felt a little confused for a moment, but when his thoughts came back to him, he looked at the prince with a ferocious face in the hall, and remembered the dirty words he had just spoken. The few bits of guilt in his heart immediately disappeared, and he began to scold.
