Chapter 541: The Emperor's Grandson Was Beaten and Questioned in the Palace
Emperor Qiwen's expression grew increasingly grim.
His sons are becoming more and more out of line, and each of them dares to question him like this!
He looked at Liu Qin and said with a serious face, "Have the people who hurt the little emperor's grandson been caught?"
Liu Qin lowered his head, his eyes uncontrollably looking at Baili Moqing, "Your Majesty, yes, it's the little princess..."
Emperor Qiwen was still not able to react when he heard this, but Baili Moqing's eyes changed instantly, with a hint of worry in them.
"Who are you talking about? Little princess? What little princess?"
Baili Moyin didn't react until he saw Liu Qin's eyes constantly looking at Baili Moqing, and then he understood, "You mean, the little daughter of the seventh family?"
After hearing this, the image of a soft and tender little girl emerged in Emperor Qiwen's mind. He couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Is it Xiao Yi'er?"
Liu Qin nodded, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Princess Yi'er."
"Is Yier okay?!" Baili Moqing couldn't help but stand up, a look of worry on his face.
After all, this is the imperial palace, and Baili Zizhan is deeply favored by the emperor. There is no one in the entire palace who doesn’t know him!
If Yi'er really hurt Baili Zizhan, would those guards and eunuchs attack Yi'er?
Shu He doesn’t have any internal strength yet, will she also be hurt?
"Seventh Brother! The one who is injured now is Zizhan! He is your nephew! Shouldn't you care about Zizhan first?"
Perhaps it was because Baili Zizhan relied on the emperor's favor, and at such a young age, he became a "palace bully". Even Baili Moyin subconsciously felt that everyone should put Baili Zizhan's interests first!
Baili Moqing glanced at him coldly, "Yier is my biological daughter, so she's my first concern! Zizhan is Fourth Brother's child, so he's the one who should worry about him!"
What does it have to do with him?
"you!!"
Baili Moyin was speechless, as if there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"But your daughter hurt Zhan'er, shouldn't you apologize first and show your concern?!"
"Isn't what Fourth Brother said wrong?"
"It's not that whoever is injured is right, nor is it that whoever is not injured is wrong!" Baili Moqing put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I believe Yi'er would not hit anyone for no reason!"
Hearing this, Baili Moyin's face turned black with anger, "After hitting someone, what else can you do?"
"To determine the right and wrong, why not wait for Yi'er and the others to arrive, and then we can confront them face to face!" Baili Moqing's expression remained calm. He firmly believed in himself and Yi'er.
"Enough! How can you fight with me in the hall?!" Emperor Qiwen sat back on the dragon throne, the dissatisfaction on his face had almost reached the extreme.
He looked at Liu Qin again and asked, "Have you summoned the imperial physician?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is on his way!"
As soon as Liu Qin finished speaking, he heard screams outside the Taiji Hall.
Emperor Qiwen raised his buttocks again after just sitting down. He recognized that it was the voice of his favorite grandson.
Baili Moyin rushed out even more anxiously.
Although Baili Zizhan's mother is Fu Qingrong, a woman he now hates more and more, this child is his father's most beloved grandson! In the future, perhaps for the sake of this grandson, he will consider him for that position!
“Zhan’er!!”
Baili Moqing also stood up and looked eagerly towards the entrance of the inner study.
"Grandpa Emperor! Zhan'er is in so much pain!" The aggrieved cry came from outside before anyone could hear it.
When Baili Moyin saw Baili Zizhan with blood all over his mouth, his eyes were almost filled with bloodshot. He snatched Baili Zizhan from the eunuch's hand and walked quickly into the inner study.
"Grandpa Emperor, you have to make the decision for Zhan'er! Wow!!!"
The pitiful crying made Emperor Qiwen frown, his face showing both heartache and anger.
After a bunch of people came rushing in, Baili Moqing quickly walked towards Shu He and Yi'er.
After checking both of them from head to toe and finding no external injuries, he lowered his head and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Shu He shook his head, his expression calm.
Seeing that there was no guilt on her face, Baili Moqing knew that it was most likely not Yier's fault that Baili Zizhan was beaten.
Baili Moyin's eyes were red, burning with anger, "Father! Look at Zizhan!"
"Such a young child was beaten until his mouth was covered in blood! I even doubt that this is something a child could do!"
"Could it be that some people, relying on their physical strength, are bullying a three-year-old child?!"
He glanced at Shu He with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
He felt that a young boy would not be able to do such a thing. Could it be that woman who did it?
Emperor Qiwen's expression changed again and again.
Baili Zizhan had a mouth full of blood. When he opened his mouth to cry, there was a hole in his front teeth and blood was still flowing.
The little child's face was full of pain and his eyes were swollen from crying.
His expression turned stern, and he demanded, "Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang is waiting outside the palace!!"
"Xuan!"
Zhang Qiong, dressed in official uniform, walked in quickly, accompanied by a young imperial physician.
After the two men met the emperor, they took the little grandson Baili Zizhan to a side hall for treatment.
Only then did Emperor Qiwen look at the group of people.
At Baili Rushu's reminder, several children knelt down together and saluted respectfully.
"Ziyuan, Ziyi, and Zile, pay your respects to the Emperor's grandfather (the Emperor's maternal grandfather)!"
Seeing this, Yi'er let go of Shu He's hand and walked over to Baili Ziyuan and knelt down, "Yi'er, I pay my respects to Grandpa Emperor!"
Shu He and Baili Rushu behind them also knelt down and saluted.
You may not need to kneel normally, but something happened today. If you don’t kneel, it would mean you don’t know the rules.
When Emperor Qiwen saw so many grandchildren, he immediately realized that this matter might not be as simple as he had imagined.
"Be flat!"
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and tried to make his voice softer so as not to scare the children.
"Who can tell me what is going on?"
Baili Ziyi and Baili Zile seldom saw Emperor Qiwen and were not very familiar with him, so they seemed rather timid, kept their heads down and dared not speak.
Baili Rushu wanted to explain, but Baili Ziyuan spoke first.
"Grandfather, I can tell you what's going on here!"
Emperor Qiwen's gaze fell on Baili Ziyuan. After all, she was his granddaughter, and moreover, the daughter of his own ill-treated daughter. His brows softened, "Then Ziyuan, tell me, what's going on?"
Baili Ziyuan took a step forward, her face full of grievance, her big eyes almost oozing tears.
"It was Brother Zizhan who broke our glass bottle!"
