When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 222 Seeking Protection

"Father! I didn't!" Ling Yao denied it flatly.

"Your Majesty, Yao'er cannot be wrongly accused of such a capital crime!" Concubine Liang said in pretended horror.

"Then why did this woman appear in my house?!"

Ling Hao pointed at Yu Qingling lying on the ground and glared at him and asked.

"How should I know this?"

"They are your nephews!"

Ling Hao was almost yelling at him, unable to conceal his anger.

Bai Xin and Ye Qi looked at Ling Hao who was a little hysterical. He was so disappointed because he still cared about their brotherhood.

How could the emperor not know about this? But this is also his son, and there are some things he cannot make up his mind about.

At this time, Eunuch Su came in from the door and bowed to the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wei and Concubine Hao request to see you!"

The emperor was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Let them in!"

Bai Xin was shocked when he heard this. It was such a cold day and Qing Shi was still in confinement, so why did she come here? Then he stared at the door.

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

"Greetings to Father!"

Concubine Wei and Qing Shi, each holding a child, walked slowly in from the doorway and knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor.

"Hurry up, this is my grandson?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment. When he saw the children react, he stood up with a happy look on his face and went to look at the two children.

When Ling Hao saw them coming, although he was confused, he calmed himself down, walked up to Qing Shi, and took the child in his arms.

Bai Xin also hurried forward and supported Qing Shi. After all, her body had not yet recovered and she could not overwork.

Seeing this, Ling Yao and Liang Fei gritted their teeth slightly, and for a moment they didn't know why they brought the children here.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is your eldest grandson!" Concubine Wei held the child in front of the emperor and showed him the child's face.

"This is the little grandson!"

Concubine Wei pointed to the child in Ling Hao's arms and said to the emperor.

"Very good, very good, I am happy just looking at these two children!"

The emperor walked up to them, gently tickled the two children's faces and said happily.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew outside the door, blowing the cotton curtain that was blocking the wind and cold, making two muffled sounds of "whoosh, whoosh".

Dabao suddenly convulsed in Concubine Wei's arms, and then burst into tears.

"Oh, my poor grandson, how could he be frightened and cry at the mere sound of the wind?"

Concubine Wei immediately became worried and frowned as she gently coaxed Dabao. She felt distressed when she saw the child crying even more pitifully.

"Come, let me hug you!"

Seeing Dabao crying in Concubine Wei's arms, the emperor felt a little soft-hearted and reached out to take him and hold him.

"My grandson is frightened. Don't be afraid. He is in your grandfather's arms!" The emperor coaxed him gently, rocking and patting him, with great patience.

Dabao seemed to understand, and in the emperor's arms, she slowly stopped crying and just sobbed pitifully, which made people feel very pity for her.

"Your Majesty, my grandson has calmed down in your arms!" Concubine Wei looked at the emperor and said happily.

The others were also happy, only Ling Yao and Liang Fei lowered their heads with cold eyes.

"The child is timid, so you need to watch him carefully!"

The emperor looked at Ling Hao and reproached him, saying that the royal family had not had such a young child for a long time, and this child recognized him so well, the emperor was very happy in his heart.

"Yes!" Ling Hao nodded in agreement, hiding his sad look.

"Father!"

At this time Qing Shi came to the emperor, Bai Xin supported her, bowed slightly, and said in a crying voice.

"I am useless. My two children were born before they were full-term when accidents happened. I was able to save their lives after many twists and turns. When the eldest prince was born, I almost died. Your Highness is almost fainting from grief!"

"Fortunately, Yue Xin tried her best to keep us alive, but the eldest prince was not old enough to begin with, and he was hit so hard that he is now timid and has convulsions, and often cries!"

"Your Highness and I are always very sad when we see this. He still has bruises on his body and I don't know when they will disappear. I am really heartbroken!"

After Qing Shi finished speaking, tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Take good care of your nephew, and he'll be fine!" Ling Yuran heard this, walked forward, and with tears in her eyes, she supported Qing Shi and comforted him.

"Where is the bruise? Let me see!"

When the emperor heard this, anger rose in his eyes and he asked in a cold voice, "How could the child in his arms be so small and yet he had bruises?"

"Father, the bruise is here!"

Ling Hao held Erbao in one hand and lifted up Dabao's little baby with the other hand, revealing her round little belly. Above her belly, a bruise clearly stimulated everyone's eyes.

"It's pitiful that this little child was so badly hurt!"

It was also the first time that Concubine Wei saw bruises on the child's body. She felt so distressed that she kept stroking Dabao's belly and comforting him.

"Father, you are the Son of Heaven, please protect the young prince!"

Qing Shi looked at the emperor with a livid face and cried and begged even more sadly.

"Qingshi, you are still in confinement, don't be too sad!"

Bai Xin supported her and comforted her.

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be sad anymore!" Ling Yuran couldn't help but shed tears and comforted her.

"Why on earth did you let the eldest grandson of the emperor be hurt like this?"

The emperor asked in a cold voice, glancing angrily at the people in the imperial study.

"Father, it was this slut who bumped into my sister-in-law, causing her to give birth prematurely and my nephew to be injured!"

Ling Yuran pointed at Yu Qingling who was lying on the ground and said in a cold voice.

"Tell me, why!"

The emperor tightened his grip around Dabao and glared at Yu Qingling. Yu Qingling was frightened to death and just kept shaking her head.

"Father, she was originally the daughter of my father's favorite concubine. They were vicious and plotted to frame me and my mother and deceive my father. She was beaten to death by my father and sold to a brothel in the south. I don't know why she was able to return to the capital during my pregnancy, and even became a good person. She sneaked into the Emperor Hao's palace and deliberately hit me and my unborn child with a flower pot!"

"As a result, the eldest prince is still timid and convulsed, and I am also physically disabled and will never be able to get pregnant again in my lifetime!"

Qing Shi looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes and said sadly.

"She was originally a lowly woman, but she was able to enter the capital and work in the private brothel of the Second Prince. She was even able to return to good status and enter our imperial palace. Who has such great ability? Second Prince, they are also your nephews!"

Qing Shi looked at Ling Yao with tears in his eyes and accused him.

"How dare you talk nonsense. What does a bitch have to do with Yao'er!" Liang Fei looked at Qingshi angrily.

But the emperor's expression became increasingly ugly.

"Father, you can see clearly that they have evil intentions. They are all siblings from the same mother. They have united to frame this lowly maid to harm me! Father, please don't believe them!"

Ling Yao hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor.

"Would we use our own son and our own bodies to frame you? Moreover, this bitch entered Kyoto through you!"

Ling Hao looked at him coldly.

"Third brother, you can't get a tiger cub without risking the tiger's den. For the sake of the future, it is not impossible for you to use a self-torture trick!" Ling Yao said with a sneer.

"Second brother, our father is in good health and will live a long and blessed life. Besides, I have never had any intention of being disloyal. In the future, I will be a leisurely prince. With the protection of our father and brother, it will be enough for me to live a happy life!" Ling Hao looked at him and said.

"Hmph, the Crown Prince is sickly and childless. Now that you have a cousin like Ye Qi, how can you be content to be an idle prince?" Ling Yao said to him with a sneer.
