753. The Eighth Prince Yan Xiaobei (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Before deciding what kind of method to use, he must know the child's personality first.

"Hmm..."

Although he didn't know why he had to ask this question, after hesitating for quite a while, Yan Xiaobei still nodded. Because of his honest behavior, Ling Jingxuan showed a gentle smile different than before. "You are about ten years old. You should be able to tell good from bad. Whether I'm not bullying your mother, why don't you judge it yourself?"

After saying that, he crooked his finger and Chunxiang on the side come forward in confusion.

"Tell the eighth prince what his mother has done. Don't exaggerate it or miss every detail."

He didn't know if the eighth prince could bear these cruel facts. He had said before that he didn't know how to teach children. His children followed him all the way through those cruel things. The eighth prince was a few years older than them. If he couldn't take it, it only proved that he was not lucky enough to grow up alive. Today, even if he could survive, he would die in the hands of others one day. On the contrary, if he could bear everything today, he would undoubtedly grow up a lot in an instant. People, no matter in ancient times or modern times, grew up in cruelty.

"Got it."

Didn't you say that you would plant the smallpox on the eighth prince? Chunxiang didn't know what was going on, but could only tell the whole thing as he ordered. At the beginning, the eighth prince was shocked, and then with disbelief. He never expected that this time it was not His Empress and Ling Jingxuan who bullied his mother for no reason, but his mother... How could she do such a thing?

"No, Xiaobei, it's not like that. Mother is protecting you."

Seeing the disappointment in her son's eyes, Lady Yang felt as if a knife were piercing her heart. The eighth prince said in a trembling voice, "mother, so His Empress has never bullied us. My seventh brother even often secretly taught me of my homework. They are good people. Why did you do that?"

He really didn't understand. Could she really protect him after killing his seventh elder brother? Why? Why his seventh elder brother he was secretly in love with?

Lady Yang opened her mouth. It was not that she wanted to kill His Empress and the seventh prince, but the Xiao family. Could she say that out? Once she said that, everything was over. She couldn't let him die at such a young age!

"Xiaobei, now you tell me, do you still think we are bullying your mother?"

Ling Jingxuan's voice sounded again. The eighth prince looked at him with tears and then at his mother. Finally, he looked up at His Empress and his seventh elder brother who were sitting high up there. While shaking his head, he burst into tears. Because of his age, he might not understand the complicated and profound meaning inside, but he knew that his mother was indeed wrong this time.

"Xiaobei, you may have never heard of plague. It's terrible because it spreads fast and relapses fast. If it's not treated as soon as possible, it will kill people in only a few days. Moreover, even if a person dies, the plague is still alive. If you don't burn the corpse with fire, anyone who has come into contact with it will be infected. Your mother not only hurt your seventh brother, but also thinks that as long as the time is controlled well, all of them in Fuqing Palace would be infected and die. But there are some things that couldn't be predicted, such as the spreading speed of the plague. If I hadn't arrived in time and isolated the palace in the first place, those who had come into contact with the seventh prince might have come into contact with others, and one to ten and ten to a hundred. By that time, even if Fuqing palace was sealed off, there might have been many people outside infected. In addition, there would be people going out to shop every day. If they got infected and didn't know about it, all people in the imperial city will suffer as well. The consequences would be disastrous. What your mother did can only be described as heinous. Even if she dies one hundred times, it will be a good bargain for her. Do you understand?"
