Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

The miserable, weeping appearances of his sons and daughters caused Emperor Yongxi to cast a cold gaze on Yan Xining: "Fifth Wife, is this so?"

Yan Xining carefully laid Chu Jinxun down, and the Queen said, "Your Majesty, please call the imperial physician first!"

Emperor Yongxi waved his hand, and the chief eunuch beside him ordered someone to call the imperial physician.

But there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes towards Yan Xining. Beating his son and daughter like this was really too wanton!

The imperial physician came quickly, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was a little hesitant. Who should he see first?

The Seventh Princess's face was swollen, the Seventh Prince's head looked like a pig, and the Eighth Prince looked like he had rolled three times in wine and food dregs.

Is this a fight between princes and princesses?

"Imperial Physician!" Yan Xining called out.

Only then did Imperial Physician Qi discover that there was another person lying on the ground.

He hurried forward to take the patient's pulse and quickly came up with the result: "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince An is suffering from a heart attack caused by impatience, which has disrupted the yin and yang, and caused qi stagnation. His five internal organs are weak, and his yin is deficient and tense. His anger has caused his qi to rise, and his emotions are too volatile! His body can't bear it, which has caused him to fall into a coma! He should not be moved at this time! I will have someone boil some medicine. I hope Prince An will wake up after drinking it!"

Yan Xining's face was filled with worry and anxiety. Her eyes never left Chu Jinxun. She took the cushion from the chair over there and put it under him so that he could lie down more comfortably.

Emperor Yongxi looked at her like that and his eyes softened slightly.

The imperial physician withdrew, the chief eunuch waved his hand, and the palace maids and guards also retreated three feet away.

Emperor Yongxi frowned and said, "Can you tell me what happened now?"

The seven princes and their two companions were about to continue accusing Yan Xining and ask their father to punish her severely, but they saw Yan Xining thumping to her knees and saying, "Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law is at fault!"

Everyone: "..."

He was so fierce just now, but he admitted his mistake so readily. Did he realize he was in big trouble? It's too late!

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Yan Xining's expression was filled with grief and indignation, her tone aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. "I thought all my brothers and sisters were friendly and respectful, living in harmony. I had no idea that His Highness's brothers and sisters had no respect for him at all. They were full of bad words, insulting him to his face, and even throwing punches at him. If I had known this would happen, I would never have dared to come to this wine tasting with His Highness, even if I had to disobey His Highness's order! He vomited blood and fainted, and was so furious. I saw that after the wedding, his health had improved a bit, but now all his efforts have been wasted!"

Emperor Yongxi's eyebrows twitched.

Everyone: "??"

Purpose? What purpose?

The Seventh Princess immediately screamed, "You're talking nonsense! You even dared to deceive our father! It was clearly him, and he threw tea at me!"

"His Highness had just recovered from a serious illness and was weak. He had no strength in his hands and couldn't hold the teacup steady, so he accidentally spilled it on your clothes. It was his fault. But firstly, you weren't hurt, and secondly, he apologized to you immediately, but you refused to give up."

Yan Xining's expression became even sadder, and her voice became even more miserable: "Seventh sister, even if you think that I am from the country and cannot compare to your sister Xueqi, and you look down on me in every way, I have nothing to say if you scold me, because I am indeed from the country! But your fifth brother did not offend you. You, as his sister, pointed at his nose and called him a waste, asking him why he didn't just die after he apologized immediately! Your fifth brother will not live long in this body. Even a stranger can't say such vicious words, not to mention that he is your brother! Have you ever thought about how much pain he feels when he hears you scolding him like that?"

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, everyone here is a witness!"

The Seventh Princess gritted her teeth and abruptly changed the subject: "I, why am I not hurt?" She lifted her sleeves, revealing only a light red spot the size of a mung bean on her white arm.

She was a little panicked. At this moment, she actually hoped that she was really seriously injured. But a small red spot is still an injury. She looked up at Emperor Yongxi and said, "Father, look, my sleeves are all wet. He splashed them all with water. He did it on purpose. What's wrong with me scolding him?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Yongxi's face darkened.

The Eighth Prince saw that Yan Xining's words had caused his father to reprimand the Seventh Princess, and he immediately jumped up: "You have a sharp tongue. Did I offend you? What do you mean by kicking me?"

Yan Xining knelt there, staggering, and with tearful eyes, she glanced at Chu Jinxun, who was still lying silently on the ground, and then looked at the Eighth Prince with an innocent look: "Seventh sister insulted His Highness Prince An like that, I just wanted her to apologize. You rushed over to hit me, and His Highness held you back, but you kicked him and he spit out blood. I saw that you were going to hit him again, so I hit you in a hurry. I was wrong, I was wrong! But if you hit me again, my prince will die, and I have to stop you! If you do it again, I will do it again!"

The Eighth Prince gritted his teeth, then gritted his teeth again: "I didn't kick him at all, he flew out on his own! Okay, I get it, you did it on purpose, right? Are you putting on a show in front of us?"

Yan Xining said quietly, "Eighth brother, with your fifth brother's physique, can he fly out on his own?"

The Eighth Prince opened his mouth. He felt wronged. He had kicked, but he knew the feeling of his foot. But now he was speechless, filled with hatred and anger.

Yan Xining turned to the Seventh Prince again: "And you, Seventh Brother, your Fifth Brother was kicked by Eighth Brother and flew to your feet, soiling your clothes, and you scolded him as a worthless person, a short-lived ghost, and asked why he didn't just die, and called him cheap, telling him to get out! You said this was not a place for him to come, and called us bitches and slaves. But Seventh Brother, if it weren't for the Imperial Edict of Father, we wouldn't come to disturb your elegance. Your Fifth Brother didn't want to soil your clothes, he had no choice! Isn't it Seventh Brother who kicked him to your feet that you want to blame?"

She didn't confront the two of them at all. She just knelt down in front of Emperor Yongxi and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, I was born in a humble family and grew up in the countryside. I was just brought back to the capital and was called a lowly maid. I have nothing to say. But that was in the past. Yesterday, since I had married His Royal Highness Prince An, I was already a royal wife and thought I had gotten rid of my status as a lowly maid. After all, my daughter-in-law was naive. Even His Royal Highness Prince An could be called a lowly person, so I shouldn't be angry and complain when being called a lowly maid!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxi's face darkened. "Third Brother, you hosted the reception. Tell us exactly what happened, from beginning to end. Don't leave out a single detail!"

The Third Prince looked at Yan Xining deeply. This woman, with tears streaming down her face and a miserable expression, was no pushover. She used to hit people with real intent, and now, in front of his father, she wasn't afraid to do it.

He did not dare to deceive the emperor, and objectively recounted everything that had happened since Prince An and his wife arrived, without bias or omission, even recounting who had said what.

The more he listened, the uglier Emperor Yongxi's expression became.

Chu Qianan observed his expression, then looked at the resentful Seventh and Eighth Princes and the Seventh Princess, and stepped out. "Father, my Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, and Seventh Sister did say something inappropriate. However, they are young, and everything happened so suddenly, so it's inevitable that they lost their composure. I'll have them apologize to my Fifth Brother and his wife right away. Don't be angry!"

Chu Yunyan rolled his eyes and acted like a good brother again.

The Eighth Prince felt truly wronged and gritted his teeth, "I didn't kick anyone. Instead, I was kicked away by that crazy woman. Why should I apologize?"
