Chapter 221 The Emperor is also on guard against the Crown Prince
The prince couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, and patted Fang Qingge's head.
"Don't worry! No matter how angry Father is, he will still consider the overall situation.
After all, I am his biological son and the crown prince.
However, he had selfish motives in giving the fifty lashes."
Fang Qingge was puzzled.
"What selfish motives does the emperor have?"
The prince was frank with Qingge and whispered,
"A lesson learned: Although I won't be disabled after being seriously injured, my body will become weak.
He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to let me occupy the position of the crown prince, preferably like a puppet. In this way, I will not be the slightest threat to him. "
"Ah! Are you saying that the Emperor is also on guard against you?"
Fang Qingge covered her mouth in surprise. She looked at the prince in disbelief, still a little confused.
"But you are father and son, right? And you are the future crown prince. If nothing unexpected happens, the future throne will be yours even if we don't fight for it, right?
Does the Emperor favor the Second Prince? Does he want him to take over the throne?"
*
"Hehehe," the prince said, smiling and tapping her forehead.
"You! You are too simple-minded. I know that if I don't explain some things to you clearly, you won't be able to change your mind.
I sometimes wonder, Qingge, why don’t you think the same as them.”
"Yes, I am childish. What can you do to me?"
Fang Qingge rolled her eyes at the prince, but her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the prince had already realized that she was not from this world? How could that be?
Besides, how could I be as stupid as he said? Wasn't it just that my logical thinking was based on socialist values?
Fang Qingge lowered his head and admitted that his thinking was indeed incompatible with those of these ancient people.
However, she didn't want to reveal her secret now.
The prince looked at Fang Qingge who suddenly lowered her head and stopped talking, thinking that she was angry, and gave an explanation.
"The emperor and his subjects come first, and the father and his son come second. The desire for power is overwhelming."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingge looked at the prince with eyes full of sympathy.
*
The prince could not understand her look and pretended to be uncomfortable.
"Qingge, I feel like my back is sticky with blood. Are you still wearing the same shirt?"
"Is it that one? This shouldn't be..."
Fang Qingge spoke without thinking, then suddenly closed his mouth, wishing he could swallow back what he had said.
She pretended to lower her head to hide her panic.
Oh my god! I almost let it slip.
Since he admitted that it was the same shirt as yesterday, how could he explain where the bloody stains on his clothes went? !
She softened her expression, and when she looked up she saw the smile on the prince's lips.
Fang Qingge pretended to be angry in order to get away with it. She raised her little pink fist and hit him.
"I let you play tricks on me. You deserve to be beaten. The emperor still beat you too lightly."
"Hehehe..."
But I was nervous in my heart. This Brother An was really cunning. He always tricked me when I was least prepared.
Now she was a little annoyed with herself. Why did she become a mentally retarded child in front of the prince? !
*
The two of them were laughing and joking in the inner room,
Xiao Bajiao, his brother who was playing with the kitten under the window of the outer room, heard it. He looked up into the inner room, glanced at his mother's back, and sighed deeply.
The kitten looked at his cute little appearance and meowed.
"My dear, what are you sighing about?"
"I know, elf."
Little sister Xiao Huajiao put her little mouth close to the elf's ear and whispered,
"Brother is worrying about mom again. He said that mom has an invincible business mind, but her emotional intelligence is worrying. Isn't that right, brother?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bajiao picked up the kitten and turned his back.
Little Pepper giggled secretly.
*
Little Bajiao whispered to the elf,
“Little elf, you said that Daddy was not injured because of the middle coat that Mom gave him.
But Grandpa Huang beat Dad, is he still angry? "
"My dear, don't think too much! If you worry too much, you might not grow taller! You are still young, and your father and mother are there for you.
You two little darlings, just eat well, play well, protect yourselves, and grow up happily. "
After hearing this, Little Bajiao looked at his small chubby hands, tilted his head, thought for a while, and nodded.
"Yeah. I want to eat well and grow up quickly."
The little pepper with pointed ears also squeezed over and said,
"Brother, I also want to eat well and grow strong. I want to grow up quickly to protect daddy and mommy."
The elf looked at the two babies who were constantly worrying about their parents, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
**
Just at this moment, the palace maid Mumian knocked on the door and said,
"Master, is the meal ready?"
"Okay, we'll be there in a minute."
Fang Qingge responded.
Looking at the prince who was wearing his outer coat,
"Brother An, are you going to pretend to stay in bed and eat in the room or go out?
But don't worry, the people in the courtyard selected by Eunuch Fu are all loyal and keep their mouths shut.
This morning, Eunuch Fu and Madam Jiang knocked again."
"Come on out! It's a rare opportunity for me to have a nice meal with you guys."
The prince and Fang Qingge walked out of the inner room together.
*
When my younger sister Xiao Huajiao heard that they were going to eat, she couldn't hold back any longer. When she saw Daddy and Mommy coming out, she immediately rushed over.
"Mom, baby is hungry and needs to eat something strong."
Fang Qingge put away his smile at this time, and with a stern face, he pulled her and said to the prince,
"Apologize to Daddy. Tell me what you and your brother did yesterday?"
When Xiao Bajiao heard that he was named, he knew that he could not escape. He glanced at the face of the prince father.
He stood up, walked up to the prince obediently, and said honestly,
"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out with my sister to look for Grandpa Huang yesterday."
The prince was surprised when he heard this.
Seeing his brother admit his mistake, Xiao Huajiao also stood up straight and admitted his mistake.
"Daddy, I know I was wrong! But the Emperor said he loves you babies!"
The prince frowned, and suddenly he understood what he had been puzzled about.
Why did the emperor suddenly ask Eunuch De to send him back to the East Palace in the middle of the night? It was because he was benefiting from the two children.
He looked the two children up and down, and seeing nothing unusual, he felt relieved.
He looked at Fang Qingge again and knew that this little woman wanted him to know about this.
*
His face was serious, and he said,
"Why didn't you obey and sneak out? Who told you where your grandfather is?"
The two children lowered their heads and looked at their father, not knowing whether they should tell him what they had said before. After all, they were all lies.
Of course Fang Qingge knew how the babies found it. If it weren’t for the invisible elves, even the adults wouldn’t be able to find it!
