"If mother finds out, will she …" Yuan Venerate Qing was at a loss. How could he explain this to Xiahou Chengyu?
"Your Highness, this is not the time to be afraid of losing face. Furthermore, you didn't do it on purpose. Why would you feel guilty?"
Yuan Venerate Qing could only comply with Ye Xiao's advice.
The two of them quickly split up. Yuan Venerate Qing contacted his mother, while Ye Xiao quickly went to find the guards to ask for information.
In the imperial fields, Qing Zhu had no one else in his eyes. He was only working on the green seedlings with a hoe in his hand. Xiahou Chengyu was not far away.
Xiahou Chengyu paused his son's Star Bell transmission. After taking out the Star Bell, his expression changed slightly. He called for E Mei and temporarily handed over the matter at hand to her. He pretended as if nothing had happened and returned to the forest. Then, he quickly flew away.
Master Qing focused on tending to the seedlings in the fields. Shangguan Qing had appeared beside the forest and was watching Xiahou Chengyu fly away. He shook a Star Bell out of his sleeve and held it in his hand. Soon, two Celestial Generals quietly chased after Xiahou Chengyu.
Shangguan Qing then walked to the field and followed Qing Zhu. He transmitted a few words to Qing Zhu, "There's news from the imperial guards …"
Qing Zhu paused for a moment and asked, "Did you find out who it was?"
"It should be Imperial Concubine Qin," Shangguan Qing replied.
Qing Zhu's eyebrows twitched, and he sneered faintly. He didn't say anything else and continued to work in an orderly manner.
Shangguan Qing retreated to the edge of the forest when he saw that Qing Zhu had no instructions and looked around for any movement.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Palace, Xiahou Chengyu asked the palace maids to stay outside and entered quickly by himself.
Yuan Venerate Qing, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, hurried forward to greet his mother as though he had seen his savior. "Mother!"
Slap! Xiahou Chengyu raised his hand and slapped Yuan Venerate Qing across the face, causing him to stumble. He pointed at Yuan Venerate Qing and bellowed, "Are you tired of living? Don't you know what is taboo in this palace? No matter how many beauties there are in the palace, even if they rot in the pot, other men can't covet them. Otherwise, they will lose their heads. Do you understand? "
Yuan Venerate Qing became even more terrified as he knelt on the ground and said in horror, "Mother, I really didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't expect to bump into it so suddenly. I definitely didn't have any profane intentions. Mother, save me!"
Xiahou Chengyu gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly is going on? Tell me immediately."
Yuan Venerate Qing did not dare hide anything at this point in time. Thus, he explained the situation in full detail.
After listening, Xiahou Chengyu asked again, "Who is bathing there?"
Yuan Venerate Qing shook his head. "I can't remember who she is, but I saw her visit Mother at the Sky Valley Palace.
Xiahou Chengyu stomped on his shoulder, causing his son to fall to the ground. He paced back and forth in exasperation. At this moment, the first thing she thought of was not the Xiahou family. Instead, she immediately contacted Miao Yi to inform him of the situation.
After hearing the news, Miao Yi asked a few more questions about the details of the situation. In the end, he replied, 'What will come will come. Don't worry, Your Highness. I already told you that His Highness would have to suffer a little.
Xiahou Chengyu was taken aback. Recalling Miao Yi's instructions, he immediately asked, "Are you saying that this accident was a trap for Zun 'er?"
Miao Yi thought, "How could there be no one keeping watch when a concubine was bathing outside? Why didn't His Highness discover it when he entered the valley? Why did he wait until His Highness saw it? "
Xiahou Chengyu thought about it for a moment and understood. Buzz! His chest and mind were filled with rage. This was too sinister. He actually used such a despicable method on his own son. Don't look at how this kind of despicable method could not be shown in public. The impact it produced was enough to kill someone. Not only was he trying to sow discord between his son and his son, he was also trying to ruin his son's reputation so that his son would never be able to lift his head again!
If he really had to bear such a reputation, even if nothing happened to him, his future would be ruined. Her son was her only hope in the future, but someone actually wanted to make it so that he would never be able to rise again!
Xiahou Chengyu's chest heaved up and down. His eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, "Bitch! I will make you die a horrible death! "
Yuan Venerate Qing, who was kneeling at the side, did not know who his mother was cursing. When he saw his mother take out the Star Bell to contact the outside, he thought she was contacting the Xiahou family.
In reality, Yuan Venerate Qing only knew about Miao Yi's relationship with the Heavenly Night Palace on the surface. Xiahou Chengyu did not let him know about their interactions in private. This was also the result of Miao Yi's repeated instructions.
Miao Yi continued to ask, "Venerate Qing, who was the concubine bathing?"
Xiahou Chengyu thought, "There are too many concubines in the palace. Zun 'er has only seen them and doesn't know who they are. This child is stupid enough to not silence them after seeing something like this!"
Miao Yi thought, "It's useless to silence them. They have set up a trap for you. If His Highness dares to silence them, they will naturally have a way to make things worse. They have already set up a trap for His Highness. They will not let His Highness escape so easily. But this is good as well. The matter has finally been exposed. It's better than letting it hang in the dark."
Xiahou Chengyu thought, "Are you sure that Zun 'er will still be safe after this?
This is different from other matters. If Master Qing finds out that her son went to peek at her father's woman bathing, she could not imagine the consequences. The higher the status of a male, the more desire he had for a female. Even if he did not use her, he would not let anyone else touch her. In addition, the opponent was deliberately setting him up. He would not admit that Yuan Venerate Qing had seen it unintentionally. If he insisted that it was a "peek," the thought of it made her scalp go numb.
Miao Yi thought, "Why is Venerate Qing looking down on His Majesty? How could the truth be hidden from His Majesty when something like this happened in the Heavenly Night Palace? Let His Highness admit his mistake. "
After the two of them discussed it, Xiahou Chengyu contacted the Xiahou family. It was impossible not to inform them of such a big matter.
Xiahou Ling also told her to calm down, saying that with the Xiahou family around, they would not be able to overturn the situation. They should first see what was going on, or at least find out who that woman was. They should see if His Majesty had orchestrated it or if someone else was behind it before making a decision.
He was right, but Xiahou Chengyu immediately despised him. Niu Youde had already guessed that Master Qing wanted to train his son and that something would happen to him. Xiahou Ling, on the other hand, had not figured out the situation yet. What the hell was going on? She realized that Xiahou Ling was not just a little different from her grandfather.
Without saying much, Xiahou Chengyu trusted Miao Yi's side even more. She contacted Miao Yi again and told him about the Xiahou family's intentions. She asked Miao Yi what to do with the Xiahou family's opinion. Miao Yi's words were still the same. Let Yuan Venerate Qing admit his mistake!
Xiahou Chengyu was not confident. She did not have Miao Yi's ability to adapt on the spot. After asking about the details, she steeled her heart and pulled her son away, telling him what to do along the way.
"What's wrong? Did I make you angry again? "
In the main hall of the Li Palace, Xiahou Chengyu informed Shangguan Qing to invite Master Qing, who was dressed like a farmer. Shangguan Qing followed Master Qing into the hall and saw Yuan Venerate Qing, who was also dressed like a farmer, kneeling in the middle of the hall. Xiahou Chengyu was whipping Yuan Venerate Qing with a branch, causing him to be covered in wounds.
Seeing this, Master Qing couldn't help but ask. At the same time, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiahou Chengyu's wrist to stop her from whipping him. He looked at his son, whose clothes were tattered and bleeding. His head was lowered and he didn't dare to make a sound. They were all superficial wounds and couldn't hurt his muscles or bones.
Even Master Qing couldn't say anything about a mother beating her son. It was only right and proper.
Xiahou Chengyu turned and knelt on the ground, sobbing, "It's all because I didn't teach my son well. I beg for forgiveness, Your Majesty!"
Holding onto the branch, Master Qing said calmly, "What are you mother and son doing?"
Xiahou Chengyu shook her head and sobbed, "I'm too ashamed to speak."
Master Qing snapped the branch in his hand. "Then why did you call me here? If there's nothing else, you can all leave. "He turned around and left.
"Your Majesty!" Xiahou Chengyu knelt down and hugged Master Qing's thigh. "I dare not hide anything from you. I didn't teach my son well. Yuan Venerate imitated Your Majesty's farming and was drenched in sweat after finishing his work. He went to the Jade Pool to take a bath …"
As she recounted the incident in detail, Yuan Venerate Qing broke out in a cold sweat. His head drooped to his chest as he trembled in fear.
After she was done, the hall was eerily quiet. Master Qing's gaze was unfathomable. Xiahou Chengyu looked at his expression with fear. Yuan Venerate Qing trembled as he knelt on the ground. Shangguan Qing's head was slightly lowered and his face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Your Majesty, my son definitely didn't have any dirty intentions. It was really an accident." Xiahou Chengyu broke the silence and shook Master Qing's thigh as she pleaded. After saying so much, this was the key point.
She wanted to say that someone was framing her son, but Miao Yi had repeatedly told her not to say anything and to let Master Qing make his own judgment.
Master Qing looked down coldly. "Are you saying that I should praise him for doing a good job? You mother and son are putting on a sad show for me. Who taught you this? The Xiahou family? "
Xiahou Chengyu shook her head hurriedly. "No one taught me. I sincerely brought my son here to ask for forgiveness."
Master Qing's expression turned cold. "You dare say that you didn't contact the Xiahou family before coming here?"
Xiahou Chengyu lowered her head. "I did, but my family suspected that someone was framing my son. They told me to wait and see and figure out what was going on first." She then raised her head and said, "But I didn't dare delay this matter. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will misunderstand me. Your Majesty, my son really didn't do it on purpose!"
Even if Master Qing hadn't asked, she would have said the same thing. She didn't understand why Miao Yi wanted her to say this. She didn't know that Miao Yi felt that her brain was worrisome and was afraid that she would play tricks and make things worse.
Master Qing's eyes flickered. That's right. He felt that the Xiahou family wouldn't be so desperate as to let the mother and son put on a sad show. The Xiahou family wouldn't show any weakness at this time. Otherwise, it would affect Xiahou Ling's prestige as the family head. Feelings were the woman's own actions.
At this moment, he realized that Xiahou Ta's death had not only affected the rest of the Xiahou family, but also this woman's mentality.
He grabbed Xiahou Chengyu's wrist and pulled her to the side. Master Qing slowly turned to face Yuan Venerate Qing. Xiahou Chengyu, who was sitting on the ground, pleaded, "Your Majesty, my son really didn't do it on purpose!"
Master Qing's face darkened when he saw Yuan Venerate Qing trembling in fear. He was very angry because of Yuan Venerate Qing's cowardly behavior. This was his son!
