Chapter 336 Like Mother, Like Son

Nan Xi listened to her in silence and smiled lightly: "So, Xuanyuan Chen is affected by this palace."

Xuanyuan Jia pursed her lips slightly and shook her head slowly: "Losing the position of crown prince has made the emperor's temperament more violent, but this has nothing to do with His Highness. Even if His Highness does not return, he still has such a temper. Maybe after ascending to the throne of God, he The cruel violence will be inflicted on more people, causing more innocent people to be brutally treated, and even harming the common people."

After a slight pause in his tone, Xuanyuan Jia said calmly: "Besides, before Your Highness came back, Mr. Chen's life had never been easy. It has only gotten worse in the past two days."

Nan Xi hummed: "Get up first, sit down and talk to me in detail."

Xuanyuan Jia saw that her expression and tone did not change, and she did not have any special reaction because of the mention of Xuanyuan Yan, so he lowered his head and said yes, stood up and sat down opposite her.

Yin Yue and Yin Shuang stood beside Nan Xi and stood outside the pavilion. All the maids and maids who followed closely in the East Palace were waiting at a distance, and no one was allowed to approach here without authorization.

After Xuanyuan Jia sat down, Yinyue raised her hand to signal.

Nanny Xu, who was waiting in the distance, quickly ordered behind her. Two palace servants carrying trays came forward to serve the tea respectfully, poured tea for the two masters, and soon bowed out of the pavilion with the trays in hand, until they were sure. He stopped and stood still at a distance where he couldn't hear the conversation between the two masters.

"Master Chen's biological mother, Mrs. Qiao, was a very beautiful woman when she was young. After King Wei accepted her into the palace, he was almost obedient to her and doted on her like a treasure. This aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of Princess Wei. Later, Master Chen was born. "Aunt Qiao's health has become worse and worse. She has been bedridden all year round, and she has been living with soups and medicines, and she has slowly lost her favor." Xuanyuan Jia said softly, her voice like a stream, unhurried, even a little bit. Cautiously, "I used to live deep in the house and didn't know about these things. I only found out about it later when my mother told me about it."

Nan Xi hummed: "It doesn't matter, these are not taboos."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Jia continued, "Aunt Qiao's child is two years younger than the emperor's grandson. After Mr. Chen was born, Aunt Qiao was too weak to take care of him. Princess Wei ordered the wet nurse in the palace to feed Mr. Chen. The year she was born, Aunt Qiao had not yet fallen out of favor, the King of Wei loved her house as much as she loved her, and Mr. Chen had already passed two precious years. "

"It's just that later on, Aunt Qiao's health deteriorated day by day, her appearance lost its luster, and she became pale and haggard. She drank medicine every day, and the room was filled with the bitter smell of medicine. King Wei gradually went away less and less, and later he became very concerned about the dust. The young master’s concern is getting less and less.”

"Ever since he learned to walk, Mr. Chen had to stay with the emperor's grandson and play with the two children. But your highness may not know that the emperor's grandson was made a prince as soon as he was born. Money is very valuable and his temperament is nurtured. He was arrogant and would beat his younger brother when he had the slightest displeasure. The servants in the palace treated him as their little ancestor and coaxed him. Every time there was some unpleasantness between the two children, the maids and maids would yell at him in front of the prince and princess. If it is the fault of the second young master, the prince and the princess will punish Mr. Chen regardless of the circumstances. In short, as long as the emperor's grandson is unhappy, it must be Mr. Chen's fault. "

Nan Xi held the tea cup in her hand and said calmly: "Since Princess Wei doesn't like this mother and son, then whether she blames them or not, there is always a reason to punish them. It doesn't really matter what the truth is."

"Your Highness is right." Xuanyuan Jia nodded, "The princess is the mistress of the house, and she has the power of life and death for her concubines and concubines. Aunt Qiao and her son lost favor with King Wei, and they didn't even have anyone to protect them. , I can only let Princess Wei handle it. It was okay when I was young. Even if the emperor's grandson has a arrogant temper, he is still young. If he is not satisfied, he will be beaten twice at most. The princess will not be cruel to a two or three-year-old child. "

"But as the two of them grew up, the emperor's grandson became more and more violent in temperament. He was used to attacking Mr. Chen. Beating, scolding, punishing and kneeling became commonplace. However, he still couldn't get rid of his anger and came up with all kinds of tricks to torment him. The princess had always let him go, turning a blind eye to her son's behavior, and even intentionally or unintentionally threatened Mr. Chen with Aunt Qiao's decoction. Mr. Chen could not resist and did not dare to resist, so day after day. , I really suffered a lot.”

Xuanyuan Jia held the tea cup tightly with one hand and lowered her eyebrows, "In the past, when the emperor's grandson was studying, Master Chen, my second brother, and other young masters of the same age in the clan family had to accompany him. They saw with their own eyes, The emperor's grandson did not perform well in class, and those who were punished were all Master Chen. The emperor's grandson could not complete his homework, and it was also Master Chen who was punished. Even if Master Chen's daily studies were excellent and his homework was perfect, it would be of no use. As long as If the emperor's grandson thinks he deserves punishment, then the master can beat Mr. Chen's hands until they are swollen, and no one else will dare to say anything. "

Nan Xi understood.

The purpose of co-writing Xuanyuan Chen's existence is to vent his anger on the emperor's grandson. If he is happy, he will be beaten to death. If he is unhappy, he will be beaten to death. He can find reasons to vent whether he is wrong or not.

And Princess Wei kept Aunt Qiao and hung her life with decoction, just to completely control Xuanyuan Chen and let this bastard continue to be Xuanyuan Yan's tool for venting?

Nan Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Like mother, like son?

Mother and son are really the same weird people.

After a moment of silence, she asked lightly: "Doesn't the Emperor know about Xuanyuan Yan's temper?"

"Maybe I have heard something, maybe I have been kept in the dark." Xuanyuan Jia shook his head, "Who dares to guess the emperor's will? Besides, the emperor's grandfather used to protect the emperor's grandson very much, and did not allow anyone to question the status of the crown prince. All the clan members must be respectful in front of the emperor's grandson and observe the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Who is tired of living and dares to say something bad about the emperor's grandson in front of the emperor's grandfather?"

Nan Xi nodded, indicating that she understood.

"You are a girl in the boudoir, but you know so much about Xuanyuan Chen. You must have heard it from more than just your mother." Nan Xi looked up at her, "If I guessed correctly, you said you were entrusted by someone. Did your second brother ask you to do it?"

Xuanyuan Jia's face changed slightly, and she stood up subconsciously, but was stopped by Nan Xi: "Don't be nervous, sit down."

After a moment of silence, she sat down as she was told and nodded slowly: "My second brother couldn't bear to see Young Master Chen like this, but he couldn't talk to Princess Feng alone, so he asked me to try and see if I could ask Your Highness to help."

Nan Xi lowered her eyes and sipped her tea. She looked calm and indifferent. She didn't say she would help, nor did she say she wouldn't help.

She was actually wondering whether Xuanyuan Hua of Jingwang Mansion asked Jia Jia to come to her simply to help Young Master Chen, or did he have other ideas?
