Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 25;

As the head of the Xu family, Mrs. Gao is in a good mood today.

As soon as she had breakfast, she asked the maid to fetch the script, and read through it leisurely.

"Ma'am, it's not good."

The servant girl Chunchan ran in with a panicked expression.

Gao's face darkened, and the notebook in his hand was slapped heavily on the table.

"You little bastard, what are you talking about?"

Nurse Tian next to her stepped forward in two steps, raised her hand and slapped Chunchan's face.

Chunchan knelt down.

"Madam, please forgive me, servant servant"

"Say something."

Gao Shi waved his hand impatiently.

"Master, it was the master who was beaten."

"what!"

Gao shi stood up with a jerk, and a look of anger quickly climbed up on his face.

"Who is so bold that he dared to beat the imperial court official?"

"The servant does not know."

"What about the old man?"

Knowing that Xu Zhao was in the front yard, Gao quickly rushed out of the room.

After a while, they came to the front yard. At this time, the doctor had arrived, and Xu Zhao was still in a coma on the bed. His official uniform was damaged in many places, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. It was very miserable.

"What's going on? Who is so bold to beat the imperial court officials?"

Turning around, she realized that the servant who usually accompanied the master was not there.

"Where is the rich man?"

"Come on, go and get Mrs. Cai, this dog slave."

"Madam, the servant is here."

A weak voice came from the side, and Gao quickly turned his head. When he saw the figure in the corner clearly, the anger on his face instantly turned into astonishment.

Ah Cai, as Xu Zhaochang's servant, she naturally knew him.

At this moment, the big pig's head in front of him looks a little like Ah Cai?

"Cai?"

"Yes."

"The slave is Ah Cai."

After being confirmed, an angry look appeared on Gao's face immediately.

"Dog slave, tell Mrs. Ben what's going on?"

"Who beat the master?"

Ah Cai was gasping for breath while telling the story intermittently.

As soon as the morning court was over, Xu Zhao was about to go to the official office to go to the government office. Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the gate of the palace, the eldest prince surrounded him with a group of guards.

Covering his head and covering his face, Xu Zhao was beaten violently.

Ah Cai was not spared either. Facing the palace guards, the master and servant had no strength to fight back, and were knocked to the ground within a few blows.

It wasn't until Xu Zhao fell into a coma that the eldest prince told people to stop.

Then, the master and servant were sent back to Xu Mansion.

"Elder Prince?"

"How could he hit the master for no reason?"

hiss.

Ah Cai took another two breaths.

"Your Highness said, let the master come back and ask his wife."

"ask me?"

Gao's expression was startled, and the first thing he thought of was Xu Wenwu's almost killing him in Shekou.

As for the gift, she didn't think about it at all.

"Ma'am, the master is awake."

Hearing this, Gao didn't bother to think too much, and quickly turned around and ran to the bed.

"Master, master, are you all right?"

Xu Zhao shook his head with difficulty.

"Ma'am, have you... provoked His Royal Highness the First Prince?"

Although Gao was beaten, Xu Zhao didn't show any resentment.

"No, my concubine hasn't been out of the mansion for a while."

Xu Zhao on the hospital bed frowned subconsciously, but the wound on the corner of his eyebrow was affected, and he gasped in pain.

"Master, don't worry, you recover from your injuries first, and I will leave this matter to my concubine."

"Miss, you don't know how miserable Xu Zhao was beaten."

In Bichuan Courtyard, Qiu Yu received the news from the secret guards, so she ran out of the courtyard and hid in the dark, watching Xu Zhao and the servant A Cai being carried into the mansion.

Lu Yaoyao smiled lightly and remained silent.

"I heard that he was blocked by the first prince at the gate of the palace and beaten up violently."

"I can't tell that the eldest prince is quite vigorous."

At this time, the fierce eldest prince was kneeling in the imperial study.

Emperor Hongwen sat behind the imperial case and flipped through the memorial.

Xu Zhao was beaten in front of the palace gate, and the news was not small, and soon spread throughout the palace.

When Emperor Hongwen got the news, he had someone call the First Prince over immediately.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

"Let her in."

After a while, the queen walked in with hasty steps, looking at her son kneeling there, her eyes flashed with distress.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

"The queen is free."

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand and ordered Li De to give the queen a seat.

"Tell me, why did you bring someone to beat Xu Zhao?"

Just as the queen sat down, Emperor Hongwen's voice sounded.

"Because Xu Zhao's wife is greedy for Mo Erchen's things."

The emperor and empress were all taken aback.

The next moment, the queen was directly angry.

"What a bold Gao Shi."

"Come here, go and bring Mrs. Gao to this palace."

Although she wants to win over the Gao family and the Xu family, it doesn't mean she can tolerate greedy and unruly behavior.

It's fine if she didn't pursue what happened last time, but this time she dared to covet her prince's things?
Who gave their dogs gall?
"Queen, don't worry, just figure things out first."

When Emperor Hongwen opened his mouth, the queen had to save face.

"Tell me in detail what's going on?"

"Why does Mrs. Gao have the guts to covet your things?"

Emperor Hongwen continued to ask, and the empress immediately turned her attention to the eldest prince.

"Yesterday, I heard that Miss Xu's family returned to Beijing, so I asked my servants to prepare a congratulatory gift for her."

"Unexpectedly"

"Wait, what does Miss Xu's return to Beijing mean? Why did the emperor give her a congratulatory gift?"

As a queen, although she may not necessarily know the female relatives of all the noble families in the capital, she still knows the female relatives of the few families she cares about.

She also paid attention to the Xu family for a while because of the Gao family.

I also know that Xu Zhao has an eight-year-old daughter under her knees.

"The queen mother, the eldest lady of the Xu family that my ministers are talking about is not the eight-year-old girl in Xu Zhao's mansion."

"It was the Miss Zhuangzhu who had saved my son's life outside the city."

"Her name is Lu Yaoyao, and she is from Xu Zhao's original spouse."

The empress immediately realized that King Jin had mentioned Xu Zhao's private affairs before.

"You keep talking."

"My son learned this morning that since Mrs. Gao embezzled the congratulatory gift that my son gave to Miss Lu, he gave it to her daughter."

"That's a congratulatory gift from my lord to the savior. Why should the daughter of the Gao clan go?"

The empress nodded inwardly when she heard the words.

Indeed, Gao's doing this really made people angry.

This is not just about a congratulatory gift, if it is more serious, it will affect the face of the First Prince.

He sent a congratulatory gift to his benefactor, but the benefactor didn't receive it, what do people think?
How about saying that the eldest prince is ungrateful and doesn't understand etiquette?

"My son can't rush to the Xu mansion to clean up the Gao family, so I can only teach Xu Zhao a lesson."

There is nothing wrong with this approach.

Husband and wife are one, Gao's trapping the prince is unrighteous, and Xu Zhao's lesson is not wronged.

"Get up."

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand, and the queen quickly stood up to help her.

"Although there is a reason for the incident, Xu Zhao is an official ordered by the court. If you lead someone to beat him at the palace gate, the influence will be very bad."

"I fined you a year's salary, are you convinced?"

"My son is willing to punish."

The eldest prince hastily bowed his hand, is he the prince who is short of a year's salary?
"You go back."

After the queen and the eldest prince left, Emperor Hongwen turned to look at Li De.

"Go tell Gao Yanming to come over."
