Emperor Yuan Qing gently stroked Huai'an's little head and asked him lovingly, "Why did Huai'an think of recording these things?"

Huai'an replied in a serious tone, "My mother said that the Emperor's uncle is in the imperial court and has a far-sighted vision, but there are still many places in the Yuan Dynasty that are far away from the emperor. Since Huai'an is lucky enough to meet them, I should take a good look at them for the Emperor's uncle."

"Only a small part of it is recorded in the book. There are still many things Huai'an has not had time to write down. If Uncle Huang is interested, Huai'an can dictate them to you."

Emperor Yuan Qing praised sincerely, "Although your mother is a woman, her vision and pattern are not inferior to those of men. This is really rare."

Huai'an nodded proudly, "Yes, mother is very powerful. Sometimes even my father can't compare to her."

"Your Majesty!" When Empress Chen saw that Emperor Yuan Qing had become a different person when Huai'an arrived, she immediately stood up to divert his attention.

"You just said that we shouldn't just listen to one side of the story. Now that Prince Heng and his son are here, it's just right. We can talk it out face to face."

Emperor Yuan Qing's expression froze, and he placed Huaian's small notebook on the dragon table.

Huai'an understood immediately and returned to his father, holding his hand affectionately.

Lu Chenxiao lowered his head and glanced at him. He didn't resist and let the little guy squeeze his white and tender chubby hand into his palm.

Emperor Yuan Qing watched the interaction between the father and son, and while feeling pleased, he did not forget to signal Lu Chenxiao to speak.

"I agree to fight back," Lu Chenxiao said as he wished, but before Queen Chen could be happy, he added, "But we must start from the origin of the matter."

"What is the origin of this matter?"

"Lu Yan was the teacher that my wife and I carefully selected for Lu Youlin. He represented the reputation of the Heng Palace. While my family was on a secret mission to the East China Sea under the Emperor's secret order, he was insulted and beaten in the street."

"Not only that, the Chen family kid also slandered my family in public, and even brought up the emperor. As a student and a son, Lu Youlin should protect the reputation of his teachers, parents and relatives. What's wrong with giving the Chen family kid a little punishment?"

Lu Chenxiao spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, but with every extra word he said, the expressions of Master Chen and his daughter became uglier.

Emperor Yuan Qing was also furious, "How could this happen?"

"Queen, you didn't say that this incident was caused by Chen Nuo beating someone from Prince Heng's Mansion in the street?"

Empress Chen was shocked and quickly explained, "That's not the case. Lu Yan is just the most useless son of the Lu family. He can't be considered a member of Prince Heng's mansion at all."

"Mr. Lu is not a failure. He is extremely talented and well-read. He has taught me a lot."

Worried that Emperor Yuan Qing would not believe what he said, Huai'an added, "The ring Huai'an gave to the emperor's uncle last time was taught to me by Mr. Lu."

Empress Chen hesitated to explain, "Then, then he can't be considered a member of Prince Heng's Palace."

"If the prince says he is, then he is. Could it be that the queen knows more about the composition of the palace's members than the prince does?"

"I……"

Seeing that his daughter was speechless due to the questioning of Lu Chenxiao and his son, Master Chen's expression became even gloomier.

"Your Majesty," he bowed to Emperor Yuan Qing, "Nuo'er was wrong. Your Highness Prince Heng could have sent him back to the Chen Mansion and let an old minister educate him, instead of condoning the prince's murder."

"Master Chen, this is not the first time that Chen Nuo has been so cruel and arrogant. Last time, he led others to disrespect me in the academy, and my mother taught him a lesson. Uncle Chen also promised to discipline him when he returned home, but in fact, you did not discipline him well."

"And I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Chen Nuo and I were just sparring in a friendly way."

"You know, I'm only four years old, several years younger than Chen Nuo. I don't bully the younger, nor do I bully the weak. Chen Nuo was chosen by me because he is not flexible and his martial arts are not up to par."

Master Chen: “…”

What a farce! What a farce!

But Emperor Yuan Qing didn't think it was wrong at all.

He sighed and looked at Master Chen, "I think Huai'an is right. He is only four years old. How can he be very strong? Besides, Chen Nuo is indeed too fat. He can't even beat the four-year-old Huai'an."

"Your Majesty!" Queen Chen rolled her eyes in anger.

"How could you do this? Nuo'er is your nephew!"

The corner of Emperor Yuan Qing's mouth twitched slightly, "Huai'an is my biological nephew, and he has been close to me since he was young."

"In terms of closeness, Huai'an was raised by me with my love; in terms of right and wrong, Chen Nuo was wrong first; in terms of ability, Chen Nuo has been eating for nothing for so many years."

"Tell me, how can I favor him?"

Queen Chen: “…”

Master Chen: “…”

They came to seek justice for Nuoer, not to listen to the emperor's confirmation that he was not as good as Lu Youlin.

Due to the sudden silence between the father and daughter, the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became awkward and dull.

Emperor Yuan Qing came over to help again, "Queen, please get up first, don't tire the child out."

Empress Chen still refused to get up stubbornly, "Your Majesty, you feel sorry for Lu Youlin, but I also feel sorry for Nuo'er."

"Please, for the sake of the unborn prince..."

She didn't say the rest, but the pleading in her eyes was obvious.

Lu Chenxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Queen Chen's belly, echoing in his mind were the words that Lu Qingjia said in prison before his death.

If that is true, then the child in Chen's belly now...

"The Emperor is kind and benevolent, so the Crown Prince will surely be kind and polite. However, Prince Heng, as his cousin, is so violent and bloody. What if the Crown Prince is influenced by him in the future..."

"Empress!" Lu Chenxiao's face was filled with impatience, "Not to mention that the baby in your belly has not yet formed, even if it has, it cannot be affected by my child."

Not to mention, we don’t know anything now, so how can we be sure that it must be the prince and not the princess?

"Your Majesty," Empress Chen suddenly screamed, "Prince Heng cursed that our child would not be born!"

"Your Majesty, please reprimand him. How could he curse our prince?"

Lu Chenxiao, who was inexplicably blamed, said: "???"

Master Chen took the opportunity to shout, "Your Highness Prince Heng is so bold that he actually cursed the heir to the throne!"

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Qing's expression suddenly changed, Huai'an stamped his feet anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did my father curse the heir to the throne?"

"It's you, it's you who can't tolerate my child!"

Queen Chen suddenly went crazy and rushed to Huai'an, punching and kicking him.

Lu Chenxiao was quick to pull Huai'an to a safe area. Even though he didn't attack Queen Chen, his powerful internal force made her clothes flutter.

Queen Chen sat down on the ground in shock, "My stomach hurts so much!"

"Your Majesty, please save our child!"

The incident happened in an instant. Emperor Yuan Qing's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"

Eunuch Shun personally led people to summon the imperial physician.

Empress Chen held her stomach and cried out in pain, and Emperor Yuan Qing was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Taifu Chen stared at Lu Chenxiao with a gloomy expression, "Is His Royal Highness Prince Heng happy now?"

This was just short of pointing at Lu Chenxiao's forehead and saying that he was trying to harm the baby in Queen Chen's belly.

Emperor Yuan Qing's pupils shrank, and he looked over in disbelief, "Ah Xiao?"
