The eldest son is fierce

The Imperial Palace, the virtuous concubine's bedroom.

After the emperor dealt with Princess Gaoyang, he went directly to the virtuous concubine's bedroom.

Seeing the emperor's grim expression, Concubine Zhao smiled and waved her hand. After dismissing everyone around her, she said with a smile, "What's the matter? Your Majesty is still worried about the standoff in the north?"

The emperor sat down with the help of the virtuous concubine and said angrily: "It's not just the confrontation in the north, there are also a lot of troubles in the court."

"I have already strongly advocated the fight, and the order has been made clear."

"As a result, the Ministry of Revenue told me that it had no money!"

"The silver we can mobilize is less than 500,000 taels, and yet we're still conducting an internal self-investigation and discovering that Liu Gongjin embezzled 500,000 taels of tax revenue!"

"Don't I know what kind of person Liu Gongjin is? He is a diligent and honest man."

"In order to give me an explanation, the Ministry of Revenue actually pushed him out to ward off disaster. This is simply outrageous."

The virtuous concubine raised her hand to calm the emperor down and said, "So, you are ready to start purging the court and corrupt officials? If we move against them now, I'm afraid it will affect the war in the north."

The emperor slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "If we don't take action against them now, it will affect the war in the north."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Where's that little girl Tang Yin?"

Emperor Yanwen looked around but couldn't find Tang Yin.

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "The child was taken to the bath by the nanny. She didn't know this was the imperial palace and always thought it was her Uncle Xiao's house."

"I didn't tell her I was the virtuous concubine, I just said I was her Aunt Xiao."

"This child is also a miserable child..."

Before Concubine Xian could finish her words, the nanny ran in with red eyes.

"My Lady, My Lady...that child, that child..."

The nanny pointed to the inner room and was speechless.

Tang Yin?

Emperor Yanwen and Concubine Xian suddenly stood up and walked quickly into the room.

In the room, Tang Yin was curled up in the corner of the bed. She no longer had the energy she had when she first entered the palace. She stared at everyone around her warily, her face extremely pale.

Seeing that the girl in front of him no longer had the same spiritual energy as that day, Emperor Yanwen's face suddenly turned cold.

"You bastard? What did you do to her?"

Everyone in the room was so frightened that they knelt down.

Tang Yin, who was lying on the bed, was also frightened by Emperor Yanwen and trembled. She quickly shook her head and said, "Uncle Xiao, don't blame my sister and grandma. It's Yin'er's fault..."

The old lady knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"Emperor... My Lord, that little kid, that little kid is covered in wounds!"

"She didn't allow us to bathe her. She ran around everywhere, and we only discovered when she fell that her body was covered in bruises and contusions. There was hardly a single piece of healthy flesh left on her body."

Emperor Yanwen and Concubine Xian's expressions suddenly changed.

"Yin'er, come here and let your uncle see your injury!"

Emperor Yanwen took a step forward and wanted to pick up Tang Yin, who was curled up in the corner of the bed.

However, Tang Yin hid further away, shaking her head repeatedly, trying to force a smile: "Uncle, Yin'er is fine. Yin'er will be fine after a rest."

"Good? How can it be good? Many wounds are still bleeding. The child must be in so much pain." The old nanny was heartbroken, and a group of palace maids were also in tears.

Emperor Yanwen's heart tightened when he heard this. Concubine Xian patted Emperor Yanwen's arm and said, "Your Majesty, please let me do it."

The virtuous concubine walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the girl hiding in the corner of the bed. The girl was delicate and beautiful, especially her eyebrows and the corners of her lips, which were exactly the same as her mother's.

Her heart ached, and she smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Yin'er, come here, Auntie. Logically, you shouldn't call me Auntie, you should call me Auntie."

"Aunt?" Tang Yin raised her head with doubt in her eyes.

Xian Fei nodded and said, "Yes, aunt, your mother and I are best sisters."

"Before she married your father, we were together every day. She said that if she gave birth to a girl in the future, she would name her Yin'er."

"Your mother plays the piano very well, even better than your aunt."

Tang Yin thought of her mother playing the piano, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yeah, mother played the piano very well. Yin'er misses her so much, but Yin'er doesn't have a mother anymore."

This one sentence hurt the virtuous concubine's heart.

She raised her hand and rubbed Tang Yin's head, then held Tang Yin in her arms and said, "Who said that? Yin'er is so good. Auntie is also Yin'er's mother..."

"Be good, let your aunt see the injuries on your body, otherwise, your aunt will be sad."

Tang Yin hid in Concubine Xian's arms and nodded slightly.

After getting permission, Concubine Xian slowly lifted up Tang Yin's clothes, and saw that her body, which was so thin that her bones were almost visible, was covered with dense wounds.

Many of them were caused by pinching, with fingerprints digging into the flesh, and some were caused by beating, with such force that the imprints of huge slaps were clearly visible on the children's bodies.

Concubine Xian could no longer hold back her tears, and they burst out in an instant.

She slowly took off Tang Yin's pants. Her two bamboo-like legs were also covered with wounds.

Especially the inner thighs, which had been squeezed to the point of being rotten and bleeding.

Concubine Xian thought about how when Tang Yin entered the palace, the child, led in by the nanny, jumped and knelt down to salute her. How much pain must she have endured at that time!

Concubine Xian held Tang Yin in her arms without saying a word, but her body was trembling slightly. If her mother knew that she was suffering so much, she would be heartbroken!

Whoosh!

At this time, Emperor Yanwen was already gasping for breath, pacing back and forth angrily like a trapped beast.

Afraid of scaring the child, he didn't say anything, but the coldness in his eyes almost became tangible.

Tang Yin was only a five-year-old child. What hatred or vengeance could there be? How could he be so cruel to a child?!

"Auntie, I'm fine. I'll be fine soon."

Tang Yin nudged her little head in Concubine Xian's arms and said, "Aunt, please don't tell my brother, okay? If he finds out, he'll beat my second brother and sister-in-law to death. I don't want him to worry."

So, it was the second son of the Tang family and his wife who fought?

Emperor Yanwen's face turned pale as he turned and walked out. "Tang Jing, you've neglected your legitimate son and failed to educate him properly. How dare you be a role model for all officials? I won't forgive you!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Concubine Xian stopped Emperor Yanwen.

Emperor Yanwen stopped and looked back. Concubine Xian was holding Tang Yin and said, "This is a family matter of mine. It is not appropriate for Your Majesty to intervene. Wait for Tang Yi to come out and let him solve it himself."

"If Tang Yi can't solve it, I will do it."

"I am their aunt, so it is reasonable for me to resolve the issue."

Emperor Yanwen naturally knew all this, but... he was still very angry!

I am an emperor, and I have so many children and daughters. I also have some I like and some I dislike, but at least I will not hurt them.

Tang Jing, you are unworthy of being a father!

Xian Fei tapped Tang Yin's nose, smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I promise I won't tell my brother."

"But you have to take a medicinal bath, and your aunt will help you apply the medicine."

"Otherwise, your brother will definitely know without your aunt telling you."

"Yeah." Tang Yin nodded vigorously.
