King Xiang hesitated for a moment and did not look up.

Emperor Zhaoming's tone was unhappy: "Why, I dare not let me see it after being beaten? Raise my head!"

King Xiang raised his head and showed the red and swollen slap marks on his face.

Concubine Shu beat her very hard.

After being dragged for so long without applying medicine, the palm prints became obviously severe, looking red and swollen, shocking.

Emperor Zhaoming's face suddenly sank.

The prince frowned and said, "It looks worse and worse. Eunuch Su, ask someone to bring medicinal wine."

"Yes." Eunuch Su went there quickly.

Emperor Zhaoming's face relaxed a little, and he looked at King Xiang and said, "Say whatever you want."

King Xiang spoke directly: "My son wants to ask for the father's grace."

"What kind of grace?" Emperor Zhaoming refused to comment.

"According to the rules, those who were sent to Xiangguo Temple for cultivation are not allowed to bring any servants around. But Thirteen grew up in the palace and was used to being fed with wealth. Suddenly, they were sent to Xiangguo Temple without anyone helping each other, so they were afraid it would be very difficult."

King Xiang whispered, "I know that Thirteen made a big mistake. I don't ask my father for forgiveness. I just want you to be kind and allow her to bring one or two servants with me so that she can be slightly better when she is practicing in Xiangguo Temple."

The prince's eyes flashed with surprise.

Emperor Zhaoming asked, "That's all you want to say?"

King Xiang said: "My son only asks for this."

Emperor Zhaoming looked at him with a faint look, silent for a moment.

At this time, Eunuch Su walked in small steps, bent down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, you have brought the medicinal wine."

"Get up." Emperor Zhaoming said coldly, "I'll take the medicine first. I'll talk about it. A prince with a slap on his face, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Father." King Xiang said gratefully and stood up with difficulty.

He had been standing outside for a long time, but when he came in, his legs were stiff and numb, and his movements of getting up were a little embarrassed.

The prince couldn't see it and held the handrail.

Eunuch Su hurried over, prescribed medicinal wine, and gently applied medicine to King Xiang.

Wait until the medicine is finished.

Emperor Zhaoming suddenly asked, "Why did your mother beat you?"

King Xiang hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "My mother is worried about Thirteen's situation and strongly asks her son to come and plead for mercy. After a few more words, her mother was angry for a moment, and she said it."

He paused and quickly added: "My mother was just angry. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. She was very upset afterwards. She asked her father not to blame her. It was all her fault."

Emperor Zhaoming snorted coldly: "You are helping your mother!"

"My son knows his mistake." King Xiang immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Emperor Zhaoming looked at him with a cold face, but he didn't feel much displeasure.

King Xiang values ​​love.

He is the eldest son of Concubine Shu and has been highly expected by Concubine Shu since childhood.

Although the relationship between mother and son becomes increasingly stiff and conflicts often break out after growing up, it is a biological mother and son after all. In terms of theoretical filial piety, it is normal for King Xiang to help his biological mother.

What satisfied Emperor Zhaoming was that although King Xiang attached importance to his biological mother, he did not obey Concubine Shu's arrangements in everything.

Especially in the power of the court.

The mother and son were completely contrary to each other. Concubine Shu was very powerful, but King Xiang did not like power.

This is also the main reason why he became nervous when he became an adult.

But in the eyes of Emperor Zhaoming, this is just right.

He doesn't need a concubine's prince who is ambitious and has a united front with the imperial concubines in the harem.

Like King Xiang now.

That's great!
