My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

The study room.

When Crown Prince Xiao Yuche arrived with his personal eunuch, he saw Yun Chang'an, who was always with him, kneeling in the main hall with his followers beside him. Both the master and the servant looked terrified.

Standing behind Yun Chang'an was Duke Rong, Yun Dingnian, who looked unhappy.

When the prince saw this, his heart immediately began to tighten.

He walked to the center of the hall and saluted Emperor Shengjing cautiously.

"Your Highness, I greet you and wish you the best of health."

"Stand up and answer." The emperor's voice, which was intimidating without being angry, sounded from above his head.

After Xiao Yuche stood up, he immediately heard Emperor Shengjing order: "Su Qinian, come and talk to the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Su Qinian took the order, then took a step forward, stood in front of Xiao Yuche, and asked:

"Your Highness, I understand that yesterday afternoon, after school, it suddenly started raining. You first ordered someone to take away the Sixth Prince's umbrella and rain boots. When the Sixth Prince's servants came to argue with you, you also ordered Xiao Zhuozi to beat them up, causing them to be seriously injured. Is this true?"

As Su Qinian finished speaking, Xiao Yuche's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. A chill quickly rose from his tailbone and ran all the way up his spine.

He glanced at Yun Chang'an in panic, then tried to defend himself, "Father, this is unfair! Someone must have slandered me. As the Crown Prince, I have palace servants to prepare all necessary equipment for my travels. Why would I try to steal Sixth Brother's belongings?"

"Furthermore, my father once taught us that brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, and love each other. I have always remembered your teachings and will never do such a thing. I hope your father will understand."

His words were sincere. If Emperor Shengjing had not known the inside story, he would have been deceived by his innocent look.

Su Qinian seemed to have anticipated that the prince would defend himself, so he said, "Young Master Yun and his servant have already admitted it. Prince, please listen to my advice and admit it."

"The Sixth Prince caught a cold after being caught in the rain yesterday, and now he has a high fever. The Imperial Concubine is almost worried sick."

Xiao Yuche: "..."

At this moment, he was really panicked.

Looking at Emperor Shengjing with a serious face, Xiao Yuche's mind suddenly went blank.

He didn't expect that Xiao Yuzhi would actually fall ill because of this, and this matter even alarmed his father.

Not only that, my father also summoned Yun Changan directly into the palace and interrogated them in advance.

Even if he tried his best to deny it now, no one would believe him.

Xiao Yuche was so frightened that he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cried, "Father, please calm down. I was just being playful and thought that my sixth brother wasn't far away, so I wanted to borrow his umbrella. I really didn't know he would catch a cold."

"Bang" sound!

The finest official kiln teacup was smashed in front of Xiao Yuche. When the fragments flew, they just brushed against his forehead, leaving a shallow blood mark.

Xiao Yuche instinctively raised his hand to wipe his face. When he saw the blood on his hand, he immediately collapsed and burst into tears. The cry was heartbreaking, as if he wanted to vent all the fear and pain in his heart.

"Wow... Father, I really didn't mean it..."

For a moment, the entire Shangshufang was filled with Xiao Yuche's crying.

When the queen rushed over after hearing the news, she just heard the prince's heart-wrenching cry, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"Che'er..." The Queen's voice arrived before she even showed up.

As soon as she heard the prince crying, she lost her composure and forgot her proper demeanor and posture.

The Queen quickened her pace, rushing into the Shangshu Room without even asking the palace maids to report. She saw the Crown Prince kneeling on the ground, surrounded by shattered teacups.

What made it even more difficult for her to accept was that the prince's head, hands, and clothes were still bleeding.

At this moment, the queen's defenses were broken.

Xiao Yuche had been cared for like the apple of his eye since he was a child, and he had never even been scratched. How could he have suffered such a hardship?

"Che'er...how are you?" The queen didn't even bother to greet him. She took a step forward and hugged Xiao Yuche in her arms, her face full of anxiety.

"Wuwu...Mother..."

"Burp..." Xiao Yuche cried out of breath.

Seeing this, the Queen no longer cared about her manners and immediately shouted to the palace servants beside her: "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you call the imperial physician?"

The palace maids in the Shangshufang looked at each other, and finally all looked up at Emperor Shengjing above, and no one moved.

The Queen was about to explode when she caught a glimpse of the Emperor still sitting there, with Duke Rong standing beside him. She immediately realized that she had lost her composure.

But she was extremely worried about Xiao Yuche's injuries at the moment, and she didn't even bother to greet him. She suppressed her anger and said to Emperor Shengjing, "Your Majesty, what grave mistake did Che'er make that deserves your treatment like this?"

Emperor Shengjing had only thrown it casually in a rage and had no intention of hurting the prince. But when he saw him crying as if his parents had died, he immediately became furious.

Although they were both his own sons, Xiaoliu had been bullied by him for over a year and had suffered countless injuries, but he endured it all silently without telling anyone.

Why is it that when it comes to the Crown Prince, he's so desperate after wiping a cut? Where is the demeanor and posture that a Crown Prince should have?

Then he saw the queen coming in and she was protecting her son, as if he had done something extremely evil. At this moment, Emperor Shengjing was disappointed with the queen and her son.

He snorted coldly, and even spoke to the queen in a bad tone.

"Look at yourself. What have you done to the Crown Prince? At such a young age, not only is he vicious and cruel to his siblings, but in the end, he refuses to admit his guilt and lies. How can he behave like a Crown Prince?"

The Queen was shocked when she heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I know Che'er very well. He would never be what you say. There must be some misunderstanding."

At this time, the emperor's personal eunuch Su Qinian stepped forward and explained to the empress, "Your Majesty, this matter is correct. The Duke of Rong and his servant have both admitted it. It was indeed the Crown Prince who snatched the Sixth Prince's umbrella, causing the Sixth Prince to catch a cold."

When the queen heard this, she became even angrier.

"What? Just because of this?"

"Your Majesty! Che'er is still young, how could he know so much? It's just a joke between children. It's just a cold. Just ask the Imperial Hospital to prescribe a few medicines. Why make such a fuss over this?"

The queen scolded him at first, then seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly realized.

"I understand. It must be that evil concubine who is behind this. She is deliberately slandering Che'er in front of Your Majesty and exaggerating the matter. She wants to use Your Majesty to harm Che'er.

Your Majesty! I know you favor the imperial concubine and her son, but you shouldn’t be so harsh on Che’er just for them…”

Faced with the Queen's increasingly outrageous cries, the flames in Emperor Shengjing's heart suddenly jumped up again.

"shut up!"

"Guo Furong (the Queen's name), listen to what you are saying. Do you think I am so incompetent and incompetent in your eyes?"

"Thankfully, the Imperial Concubine was so considerate of you and the Crown Prince that she didn't pursue the matter. Yet, you slandered her behind her back. The Imperial Concubine is kind, gentle, and harmless. How could you possibly understand her?"

Faced with Emperor Shengjing's praise of the imperial concubine in public, the queen froze, her phoenix eyes filled with despair and loneliness.
