Lu Jiao immediately signaled Qinglian to go out and tell the two maids and the little eunuch to take good care of him.

It's just that not long after the group went out, someone ran back to report.

"My lord, it's not good. The Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince are fighting. Go and have a look."

Lu Jiao didn't think too much about it, and hurriedly led people to follow the person who came to report.

On the way, I didn't forget to ask the eunuch who reported: "Okay, we'll start fighting as soon as we get out."

The little eunuch was the little eunuch that Lu Jiao sent out to serve the Seventh Prince before. Hearing Lu Jiao's question, he quickly said, "The Seventh Prince just walked out not far away, and he ran into the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince stopped him with someone. In the way of the Seventh Prince, he not only called the Seventh Prince a bastard, but also scolded his mother, the Seventh Prince didn't want to pay attention to him, but he rushed over to beat the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince got into a fight with him."

Lu Jiao frowned and wondered who the fifth prince was, and finally thought that the fifth prince was the son of Xu Zhaoyi. The Xu family was born on the back of Cao's family and was the most powerful arm of the prime minister's mansion. Therefore, after Xu Zhaoyi entered the palace, only the empress Follow the lead.

The fifth prince born to her naturally followed the lead of the second prince born by the empress.

Just what does it mean to come out today?

According to the logic, the empress would not order people to bully the seventh prince.

While thinking about it, Lu Jiao led people to rush over. On the opposite side, Xu Zhaoyi also got the news and led people to rush over.

At this time, on the blue brick road in the garden, someone was beating a child, and the eunuch who was beating the child was the eunuch who was serving the fifth prince.

Due to the large number of people serving the fifth prince, two or three eunuchs stopped the two eunuchs who were serving the seventh prince, and two maids stopped the maid who was serving the seventh prince, and the other two rushed to hold down the seventh prince and beat him.

On one side, the fifth prince was waving his fists and instructing someone to beat the seventh prince: "Hit him, beat him to death, tell him to bite me, I can't beat him to death."

When Lu Jiao came over and saw her, her face was extremely ugly, especially when these people saw her coming, they didn't seem to see it.

Lu Jiao strode over, raised her foot and kicked the two people holding the Seventh Prince, and then slapped each of them.

After the two young eunuchs who beat the Seventh Prince were beaten out, Lu Jiao saw the Seventh Prince's thin, dark face was swollen from the beating, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

Lu Jiao raised her eyes to look at the two eunuchs who attacked the Seventh Prince, and commanded the two eunuchs following behind her in a deep voice: "Catch them."

The eunuch who followed from Yongfu Palace was stunned for a moment, but rushed over and grabbed the two eunuchs.

Seeing his own people being arrested, the fifth prince immediately shouted angrily: "Why did you arrest my eunuch?"

At this time Xu Zhaoyi received the news and rushed over: "Miss Zhaoyi is here."

As soon as Xu Zhaoyi came over, the fifth prince cried loudly: "Mother, he bit me."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and passed it in front of Xu Zhaoyi.

Seeing her son's bloody arm, Xu Zhaoyi looked up at Lu Jiao angrily, but Lu Jiao ignored him and looked down at Ji Xiu who was lying on the ground.

Ji Xiu was obviously beaten badly, not only his face was swollen, but also his body must have been hit in many places, so he seemed unable to get up when he was lying on the ground.

Lu Jiao leaned over and hugged him.

Xu Zhaoyi said on the opposite side: "Bai Bi, how did you teach your son? Are they dogs? Bitten brother's arm like this."

Lu Jiao raised her head to look at Xu Zhaoyi, and said coldly, "Mrs. Zhaoyi will raise the child so that he can swear at others when he opens his mouth. Even the elders in this palace can swear at others. It's really good education to call out a bitch. My son just bites me!" He took a bite, do you see how my son is injured?"

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she ignored Xu Zhaoyi who was behind her, turned around, hugged Ji Xiu, and went straight to the upper study where the emperor worked.

On the way, Ji Xiu passed out, Lu Jiao took advantage of others not paying attention, quickly dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water to subdue Ji Xiu, after drinking the spiritual spring water, although Ji Xiu was still sleepy, but his face looked a little better .

Later, Xu Zhaoyi watched Lu Jiao carrying Ji Xiu all the way up to the study room. This action clearly meant to complain to the emperor.

Although Xu Zhaoyi was not afraid, she was still afraid that the emperor would blame him, so she also took her son's hand and walked all the way to the study room. The fifth prince kept yelling for pain.

Xu Zhaoyi glared at her son angrily, and went to scold the Seventh Prince for what she was doing.

Lu Jiao hugged Ji Xiu, knelt down outside the door of the upper study room, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, please make an order to let my mother and son go out of the palace to rest."

The eunuch Qingsheng heard the movement and ran out to have a look, then went in and reported to Ji Cang.

When Ji Cang heard the report, he motioned for Qingsheng to take her in, and Xu Zhaoyi happened to come over later, and walked in with him.

As soon as Lu Jiao entered, she looked at the emperor above with wet eyes: "Please make a decree from your majesty to let Xiu'er and I leave the palace to rest in a temple outside the palace. If our mother and son are allowed to stay in the palace again, I'm afraid our mother and I will be bothered." I'm going to die."

Ji Cang looked at Lu Jiao and Ji Xiu who was in her arms, they looked extremely miserable and embarrassed.

It's just that Ji Cang didn't have time to speak, and Xu Zhaoyi spoke later: "Your Majesty, it was the fifth prince who beat the seventh prince first, and the fifth prince ordered the seventh prince to be beaten."

After Xu Zhaoyi finished speaking, she looked at the fifth prince. The fifth prince burst into tears and raised his arms: "Father, my son is in pain."

Ji Cang looked at the Fifth Prince's arm. Although it was bloody, it was only a small piece because the Seventh Prince was small.

After Ji Cang looked at the Fifth Prince, he turned to the Seventh Prince. The little guy was miserable with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Lu Jiao didn't wait for Ji Cang to speak, she looked at the eunuch behind her, the eunuch understood, and quickly went out to report: "Your Majesty, it was the Fifth Prince who led people to block the way of the Seventh Prince, who not only scolded the Seventh Prince as a scumbag, but also called Concubine Bai a concubine. Bitch, the Seventh Prince couldn't stand him scolding his mother and concubine, that's why he bit him."

Lu Jiao knew that Ji Xiu would definitely not be because of scolding her, he bit the fifth prince, no accident because the fifth prince blocked his way.

Lu Jiao cried as she thought about it: "Your Majesty, it's all my concubine's incompetence that hurt my son, but my concubine just wants to ask, no matter how bad my son is, he is of royal blood. How can your majesty's son be reduced to a eunuch? Let's do it."

Ji Cang's face really changed, it was extremely ugly.

He himself hated the queen, concubine, and Xu Zhaoyi, women who were supported by aristocratic families. He couldn't deal with these women. Could it be that he couldn't deal with eunuchs?

Immediately, Ji Cang's face was gloomy, and he ordered harshly: "Come here, pull down the slave who dares to attack the Seventh Emperor and kill him."

Qingsheng immediately waved his hand and ordered the two eunuchs who beat Ji Xiu to be pulled down and killed.

Lu Jiao's drooping eyes were full of coldness. The reason why she let these slaves be killed was to let them know that even if Ji Xiu was not favored, he was still the emperor's son, and it was not his turn to be bullied by eunuchs and maids. .

After today's incident, I believe that the eunuchs and maids in the palace would not dare to deal with Ji Xiu at will.
