“Hehe, isn’t that what you think? However, who pushed the Eighth Prince?”
“Who knows! During this period of time, the Eighth Prince caused too many people to be unhappy because of the Second Prince. When people heard that Consort Ming Fei had fallen out of favour, they couldn’t wait to kick the Eighth Prince while he was down!”
“Based on my guess, it is very likely that the Empress sent someone to do it.
Think about it, the Empress did not deal with Consort Ming Fei because Consort Ming Fei was favoured by the Emperor, but because the Eighth Prince treated the Second Prince too well.
“One had to know that the person the Empress hated the most was undoubtedly the Second Prince. The Eighth Prince was helping the Second
Prince, and Consort Ming Fei didn’t stop him. This was a blatant affront to the Empress. Do you think that the Empress, as the master of the harem, could endure such humiliation?”
“Hmm, what you said makes sense! However, since the Empress had already dealt with Consort Ming Fei, the Eighth Prince was still so young and could not cause much trouble. Why couldn’t she keep the Eighth Prince like she did with the Second Prince?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Do you think the Empress really wants to keep the Second Prince? There was no other way. His Majesty had issued a decree that the Empress must raise the Second Prince to adulthood. If anything happened, she would be held accountable!
“However, the Eighth Prince was different.
“First, the Empress wasn’t given any order to protect the Eighth Prince.
“Second, although Consort Ming Fei was dead, the maternal family behind Consort Ming Fei and the external family behind the Eighth Prince were the Grand Scholar Lu and the Lu Family. Wouldn’t leaving the Eighth Prince behind be equivalent to leaving behind a huge hidden danger?
“When the Eighth Prince finds out the truth of his mothers adultery, can the
Empress not guarantee that he will take revenge and snatch the Crown Prince’s position from the Crown Prince?” “Well, you have a point!”
“Someone is coming. Let’s leave quickly!”
“Go, go, go!’
After the three palace maids and eunuchs left, little Xiao Jingrui came out from the corner.
He looked at them with anger and resentment.
It turned out that the Eighth Imperial Brother was dead.
The reason for her death was that he had often helped him.
At this moment, little Xiao Jingrui was filled with monstrous anger and hatred, and a seed of hatred was deeply buried in his heart.
He swore that he would take away everything that the Empress cared about the most.
What she cared about the most was nothing more than her eldest brother’s position as the crown prince. In the future, he could ascend to the throne!
Hmph, he was going to take away his eldest brother’s position as Crown Prince and replace him on the throne.
He wanted her to watch helplessly as she lost everything.
From then on, he endured the humiliation of his brothers and sisters. He also went around looking for a person to teach him martial arts.
It was just that those officials were afraid of the Empress ‘authority and did not dare to take him as a disciple.
Later, a crazy old man came to the palace, grabbed Xiao Jingrui and said he was his disciple.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXiao Jingrui was also happy to become his disciple.
However, this crazy old man was indeed a crazy old man. Whenever he was unhappy, he would punch Xiao Jingrui and often beat him until he vomited blood.
Fortunately, this crazy old man was a really capable person. When he had learned eighty to ninety percent of the old man’s martial arts, one day, this crazy old man came back with serious injuries. Without saying anything, he imparted all the sixty years of martial arts in his body to him. After that, he told him who his enemy was and died.
Because of the crazy old man’s teaching, Xiao Jingrui, who was only ten years old, could already dress up as a commander guarding the palace.
However, he had to endure the cold disregard of his servants, the punches and kicks of his brothers and sisters, and the injuries he suffered time and time again.
Then, he secretly went out of the palace to visit the Eighth Prince’s maternal family, Grand Scholar Lu. He promised them that he would avenge the Eighth Prince and Consort Ming Fei, so he needed his help.
How could Grand Secretary Lu not know about the Empress’s plan to fabricate her daughter’s affair and then kill her grandson?
However, this case was personally decided by the Emperor. As a subject, how could he challenge the Emperor’s authority? Therefore, for the safety of the entire Lu family, they could only swallow their anger and attribute all their mistakes to their daughter’s unchaste and impure behaviour, which almost brought disaster to the Lu family. Fortunately, she used her death to clear her name and let the Lu family escape.
The Lu family had escaped a calamity, but they had not expected the Empress to be so vicious. Right after Consort Ming Fei hanged herself, the Eighth Prince lost his footing and fell into the water.
Hehe, slip up?
What a joke.
How could a four or five-year-old child run to the lake alone in the middle of the night?
