Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces
Chapter 24: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (23)
As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken.
Xiao Huai was an abandoned child in the cold palace, powerless and without influence. Being abandoned and oppressed was already a common understanding among everyone.
But she never thought that this fig leaf would be torn off by a little palace maid.
The Queen was publicly humiliated by Sui Ning, her face livid, "I make the decisions, how can it be your turn as a mere maid to interfere?"
"Come here! Drag this ignorant slave out and beat her to death with clubs!"
Sui Ning's eyes suddenly turned cold. Just as she was about to take action, she heard a shrill voice ringing in her ears.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked towards him steadily, surrounded by a crowd of people.
He exudes innate nobility and majesty, and his eyes are full of domineering aura that looks down on the world.
But there was a skinny white kitten walking in front of Xiao Yan.
"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!" Everyone knelt down and kowtowed.
Xiao Yan sat in the main seat and asked casually, "Excuse me, what's going on? Why is it so lively?"
Xiao Yan had just finished reviewing memorials in the imperial study and wanted to take a walk, but unexpectedly a wild cat jumped out from somewhere, bit his clothes and tried to drag him to the imperial garden.
The guards and servants around Xiao Yan wanted to expel him.
But who would have thought that all these masters were not as agile as a cat!
The cat dragged Xiao Yan over here.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also felt curious.
He wanted to see what was in this imperial garden.
The Queen personally brought Xiao Huai a cup of freshly brewed tea and said softly, "Your Majesty is so busy, how come you have time to come here now?"
"I'm just dealing with a maid who doesn't know the rules. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so I dare not disturb him."
Xiao Yan looked at the young men present and knew that things were not that simple, so he did not say anything.
Eunuch Wang beside him immediately leaned over and briefly told him what he had just heard.
Xiao Yan put down his teacup and said quietly, "The Queen's handling of this matter... was indeed unfair."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a pang of shock in their hearts.
However, just when everyone thought the emperor was going to call for punishment, the emperor looked down at Xiao Huai, who was holding the cat, and asked, "Is this cat yours?"
Xiao Huai nodded, "Your Majesty, yes."
Xiao Yan supported his forehead with his hand and said lightly: "It is quite spiritual."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Helin immediately came to Xiao Yan's side and echoed, "Father, the Sixth Master is not only spiritual, but also very smart. He can understand what I say!"
"Oh?" Xiao Yan suddenly became interested. "It was this little cat that saved my Lin'er."
"How is he? Are you hurt?" As he said that, Xiao Yan held Xiao Helin in his arms and examined him carefully.
When Xiao Helin saw Xiao Yan taking the initiative to express his condolences, he felt confident and started talking immediately.
"Lin'er is fine, but Brother Huai is in trouble. It's obviously not Brother Huai's fault. They were the ones who insulted Brother Huai first."
"In the end, it was Brother Huai who showed up with Sixth Master in time to help us subdue the mad kitten, but Mother still wanted to punish Brother Huai..."
But before Xiao Helin could finish his words, Concubine De interrupted him, "Lin'er, the Empress has her own considerations on this matter, so don't say too much!"
At this moment, the queen was so angry that her teeth were itching.
When she gave the order just now, Concubine De didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her. Why is she coming here to pretend to be a good person now?
Xiao Helin puffed up his lips and said rather dissatisfiedly, "Mother, why didn't you let me finish my words? If it weren't for Brother Huai Huang saving me today, I would be the one injured and disfigured."
Unexpectedly, after listening to Xiao Helin's childish words, Xiao Huai smiled and said, "My son Lin loves his brother and hates evil. I am so lucky!"
Then he turned to look at Defei and said, "Defei, you have taught Jiang Lin'er very well in the past few years. Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine De smiled happily and said, "As a parent, it is my duty to teach my children. It is not hard for me."
"Yes, it's the duty of parents to teach their children, but in my opinion, some people can't even do this basic thing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat!
The queen felt a cold sweat running down her back and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Xiao Huai has been trapped in the cold palace for many years. It is against the rules for him to come out without permission now."
"Now that he has caused trouble again, I want to punish him a little. I was foolish, so please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
However, Xiao Yan obviously did not want to let this matter go easily.
"The Queen has been in charge of the harem for many years. Has she forgotten what the crime of insulting the royal family is? Although Xiao Huai was imprisoned in the cold palace with his mother, he is still my son."
"Today is truly a great show! I don't know when it started, but anyone dares to insult the heir to the throne!"
"Instead of rewarding meritorious service, she receives punishment. Is this how the Empress manages the harem?! If the Empress has always acted like this, then I was wrong!"
The Queen did not expect Xiao Yan to say such harsh words. She was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty..."
Sui Ning had a panoramic view of everything that happened at the top.
It seems that Xiao Yan is not hopeless.
However, it can also be heard from his words that Xiao Yan did not really want to stand up for Xiao Huai, but someone just challenged the majesty of the royal family.
Since this concerns the reputation of the royal family, Xiao Yan naturally would not tolerate it.
Afterwards, Pang Tong was punished to copy 300,000 words at home for a month to improve his character.
The Minister of Personnel was also fined one year's salary for his poor parenting.
As for the other children, those who participated in this incident were punished by being sent home to reflect on their mistakes for half a month to improve their behavior.
Seeing the emperor was angry, all the ladies were trembling with fear and knelt down to agree.
Finally, Xiao Yan looked at the empress and said, "The empress, please return to the palace for three months of self-reflection. If you do something unworthy of your position again, I don't mind finding a new owner for the Six Palaces Phoenix Seal!"
The Queen's body immediately softened, and she whispered, "Your Majesty is right. I obey your command."
After dealing with everyone, Xiao Yan turned his attention to Xiao Huai.
Seeing that Xiao Huai was now eight years old, but was obviously thinner than the other children, he sighed and said, "You have suffered over the years."
"From today on, you don't have to go back to the cold palace. Go to the academy with Lin'er tomorrow."
Xiao Huai had imagined the scene of being released from the cold palace countless times, but he never expected it to be like this.
He thought his heart had turned cold as ice, but he didn't expect that when he heard the news, his eyes couldn't stop reddening.
"Wow! That's great. From now on, I can go to school with Brother Huai!" Xiao Helin on the side jumped up happily.
Xiao Yan asked tentatively, "You are still young, do you need to stay in the palace of the harem temporarily?"
Xiao Huai refused, "I thank you for your kindness, Father. I am used to being alone, so I won't bother the ladies."
Seeing that Xiao Huai had made up his mind, Xiao Yan agreed to it.
