Chapter 16 Little Bastards

Gu Xian raised his eyes and saw a young man in a silver crown and brocade robe striding over, with contempt and playfulness in his eyes.

It is Xu Li, the eldest son of Xu Shilang from the Ministry of Industry. Because of Xu Shilang's relationship with the empress's mother, Dali Siqing, he is now the fifth prince's companion.Xu Li is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and now that the fifth prince is in power, he is naturally proud of being a companion.

Xu Shilang's wife is a protector, and Xu Li is her only son. Naturally, he has been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, so he has developed a spoiled and domineering personality.Following the fifth prince, he naturally knew a lot about the situation of the princes, and he often bullied Gu Xian on weekdays.

He listened to the father and son's lectures inside, and he really felt that it was very boring, so he found an excuse to run out, but he didn't expect to find such fun.

Seeing that the eldest son of Xu Shilang was coming, the guard hurried forward to salute respectfully. Xu Li responded perfunctorily, and then looked at Gu Xian with interest. Although the clothes of the Seventh Highness today are as dilapidated as ever, they are still pretty. clean.

The 12-year-old boy is thin and thin, but he stands upright.When Gu Xian saw that it was Xu Li, his mind moved, but his face remained calm. Seeing Xu Li looking over, he only glanced at him indifferently.

What Xu Li usually dislikes the most is Gu Xian's appearance, he glanced lightly at the guard next to him, "What are you doing?"

The guard hurriedly told Xu Li what happened just now, including Gu Xian's claim that he was the Seventh Prince and that he wanted to go to school.

Xu Li snorted coldly, but didn't look at Gu Xian, but said to the guard: "It's your fault, why can you call anyone your Highness? If there are beggars and beggars who claim to be princes, Do you also want to salute respectfully?"

This is very straightforward, not even beating around the bush, just pointing at Gu Xian's head and calling him a beggar and beggar.

The guard hesitated, the downcast young man in front of him should be the Seventh Highness, after all, holding the unicorn jade pendant and pretending to be a prince is a serious crime of beheading.But Xu Bandu was so rude to the Seventh Prince, it seems that the rumor that the Seventh Prince can be bullied in the palace is indeed true.

The guard is also a person who judges the situation and is about to bow his head and say yes, but he heard Gu Xian's angry voice, "Xu Li, what do you mean?"

Normally, the Seventh Prince would never say a word regardless of beating or scolding, how could they be so aggressive today?Seeing that Gu Xian's face was flushed, Xu Li couldn't help but get more excited, and said with a smile, "What do I mean? I said you, a little bastard without a father and mother, pretending to be a prince will be beheaded!"

As soon as these words came out, the guard next to him twitched fiercely, looked at Xu Li, but saw that he didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with his words.

The guard sighed, deeply feeling that he should leave this scene as soon as possible. Although the Seventh Prince's background is not innocent, and His Majesty also dislikes him, it does not mean that Xu Bandu and the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all Feel free to bully him.If His Majesty suddenly thought of his son again that day, wouldn't they be the ones who suffer first, those slaves who are arrogant and restless?
Gu Xian was furious when he heard the words, lifted his robe and jumped up the steps, walked up to Xu Li in a few steps, waved his hand and gave him a heavy punch, "I'm not a little bastard!"

Although the punch that Gu Xian swung did not use all his strength, it was enough for the delicate and tender Xu Li to accept it.Xu Li was just at the age of being impulsive and irritable, and he was very frivolous by nature, so he couldn't bear it now, he rushed forward to take revenge, and even yelled for his little attendant to help him beat Gu Xian.

The little attendant followed Xu Li after he was beaten into the palace. Under the influence of Xu Li and his gang, he was naturally very keen on such things, so he raised his fist and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Gu Xian slowly let go of his strength. Xu Li and his fists used all their strength, and Xu Li cursed while beating, "Little bastard, even you dare to hit me?"

Gu Xian was in pain from the beating, but the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile, and he said softly, "I'm a little bastard? Are many of your younger brothers also little bastards?"

Xu Shilang is a romantic man, but Mrs. Xu has a good family background, benevolent and strong, she insists on not allowing him to take concubines, so Xu Shilang often hangs around various brothels, meets many people outside, and also adds a lot of brothers and sisters to Xu Li.That's all if that's all, according to the news that Gu Xian got from that group of people, Xu Shilang contracted a willow disease, and Mrs. Xu was so angry at home that she wanted to hit the wall.This matter was kept a secret by the Xu family, but if someone with some ability wanted to find out, naturally they wouldn't fail to find out.

Xu Li was furious, and beat Gu Xian even more desperately to death, but Gu Xian didn't resist anymore, the guard saw Gu Xian's miserable appearance, and was afraid that he would really kill someone, so he hesitated whether to step forward to stop it.

However, Gu Xian added firewood to Xu Li's anger, "I heard that your father got that disease..."

Xu Li was really so angry that he lost his mind now. He just wanted to find something to kill Gu Xian. Anyway, he was just a little bastard that no one cared about. Maybe those princes would have to thank him for getting rid of Gu Xian for them. Got a competitor.

Xu Li's eyes fell on the knife pinned to the guard's waist. Before the guard could react, Xu pulled out the knife and walked towards Gu Xian with the knife.

The guard reacted and was about to step forward to stop it, but everything that followed seemed to happen in an instant. Before he could even take a step, he heard a high-pitched voice and an exclamation at the same time:
"The Emperor is here!"

"what!"

At that moment, the guard felt his heart stopped beating, and he looked at His Majesty the Emperor who had appeared at the door of Shang's study, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe.He propped up his already limp knees to salute the emperor, but the emperor looked behind him without blinking. When the guards looked back, they saw a scene that almost made him faint:
Xu Bandu held the blood-stained long knife, while His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince fell into a pool of blood, with blood still bubbling from the huge wound on his abdomen.

At that moment, the guard buried his head deeply, not daring to look at even a corner of the emperor's dragon robe, he knew that he was finished.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Emperor Ping frowned slightly. The one holding the knife should be the son of Xu Shilang's family. On the jade pendant of identity, Gu Xian?
Gu Xian clutched the wound on his abdomen, frowned tightly, his face looked very painful, and he kept muttering: "You are talking nonsense, I am not a little bastard without parents..."

The voice was not loud, and the breath was still very weak, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear.

Emperor Ping's eyes froze when he heard the words, and he looked at Xu Li who was holding a long knife, and the little attendant who was already so frightened that he didn't know why.
