Now that something like this has happened, he knows how to avoid suspicion.

"Why are you all here today? But what do you want to report to me?"

The emperor looked calm, as if he didn't know what these people were doing.

When everyone saw the emperor like this, they were even more angry.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang has an undying selfish streak. She goes in and out of the brothel every day, and even stays in the brothel at night without returning home. If such a woman is not severely punished, I am afraid that the reputation of the noble ladies in the entire capital will be ruined by this person."

Although the relationship between their daughter and Rong Jiao is not that close, they are getting along well with the Eighth Prince.

If word about Rong Jiao spreads, who knows what others will think?

Besides, their sons, grandsons, daughters, and granddaughters have never married. If Rong Jiao makes such a fuss about you, how will these juniors in the capital still talk about marriage in the future?

If the common people know about it, why don't they think that people from these aristocratic families are just like Rong Jiao?

Someone stood up and explained the matter, and immediately others stood up and seconded the matter.

Looking at most of the courtiers who stood up, the emperor sneered in his heart.

When the country is in danger, these people can sit quietly in their own homes, as if it has nothing to do with them and they are hanging high.

Now that they themselves are implicated, they are anxious now.

Looking at the old minister standing below who was trembling when he held his hands, the emperor couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"My dear friends, don't worry. Today I have revoked Rong Jiao's princess title and grounded her for three months. I believe that by then the impact of this matter will have faded."

When everyone heard the emperor's words, they all raised their heads in astonishment.

They never expected that the emperor would take action before them.

But thinking about the emperor's treatment of Rong Jiao, everyone felt a little resentful.

They had only thought that if the emperor decreed that Rong Jiao should be divorced, some of the concubines in their mansion would not be able to take her as a concubine.

Although Rong Jiao herself was unruly, Prince Rong behind her was a fat man that they couldn't bear to give up.

But no one expected that the emperor did deal with Rong Jiao.

However, she did directly revoke her title and ground her for three months, without any intention of abandoning her.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the Eighth Prince, wanting to see what the Eighth Prince meant.

After all, no one can tolerate the confusion between their own woman and her husband. If the Eighth Prince is still a bit bloody, he should divorce her.

When the time comes, they don't mind taking over this shabby shoe from the Eighth Prince. Even if they don't touch her, putting her in the back house will be a good bargaining chip to win over Prince Rong.

The Eighth Prince naturally felt the gazes of the people around him, but he did not flinch, but stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Thank you very much, Father, for your understanding."

The Eighth Prince's behavior also made many people's calculations come to nothing.

Everyone stared at the Eighth Prince with some annoyance. He obviously didn't want a woman anymore, so why did he still keep her?

The Eighth Prince didn't know what everyone was thinking, he just lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't know anything.

Rong Jiao also met the Eighth Princess early the next morning. Looking at this uninvited guest, the Eighth Princess looked calm and was not affected by Rong Jiao.

"I wonder why Concubine Rong came to my place today?"

The eighth princess looked coldly at Rong Jiao, who was sitting down and putting her hands down, but her expression was unusually calm.

"My sister, the princess, doesn't know something. How can I know the difficulties of being in charge of a family if I'm not in charge of the family?"

Rong Jiao looked at the eighth princess as she spoke, as if observing the expression on her face.

However, the eighth princess looked calm, so stunned that Rong Jiao could not see anything unusual.

The Eighth Princess did not answer, but Rong Jiao's words were either mocking or made Xia He glare at her.

The nanny on the side knew that Xia He had an impulsive temper and quickly stopped him.

Xia He glanced at Nanny with some dissatisfaction, "Nanny, what are you doing?"

The nanny glared at her, "Do you want to kill the princess?"

Xia He timidly covered his face and did not dare to say anything more.

The princess remained silent, which made Rong Jiao feel even more unhappy.

"I came to see my sister today because I want to tell her that there are a lot of trash in your yard, and the money you spend on daily phone calls is a waste."

"From now on, sister, the expenses in your yard will be reduced by half. As for the matter of hiring a doctor, sister, it is better not to hire a doctor again. Some illnesses still need to be taken care of."

The eighth princess had not yet spoken, but Xia He, who had been listening, immediately stood up.

"How dare you! You can also deduct the princess's expenses?"

Rong Jiao was unhappy because her title was revoked, but she didn't expect that a maid would dare to talk back to her, so she immediately raised her hand and slapped Xia He.

Rong Jiao's strength was so strong that Xia He fell to the ground.

"What a dog slave. He bites everyone he sees and doesn't look at himself!"

"When the princess is talking to my sister, do you, a servant, have the right to interrupt?"

The eighth princess raised her eyelids, looked at Rong Jiao's arrogant look, and then put down the tea cup in her hand.

"Did Concubine Rong forget yesterday's imperial edict?"

She didn't want to argue too much with Rong Jiao now, because she was worried that Rong Jiao would ruin her affairs.

But Rong Jiao came here to show off her power, and even beat her person in front of her. Do you really think she was afraid of her?

Rong Jiao's expression froze involuntarily, and when she saw the eighth princess's unkind expression, she didn't dare to hold on to Xia He any longer.

"What did sister say? Sister, I just said it smoothly for a moment. How can sister dare to forget about the imperial edict?"

"It's just that the dog slave next to my sister is ignorant. My sister will teach you a lesson."

"When will it be your turn to discipline the people around me?"

Rong Jiao now no longer has the status of a princess, and only maintains her dignity as a concubine of the Eighth Prince's Palace.

Hearing what the Eighth Princess said, her face turned very ugly.

His fingers tightened and his nails dug deeply into his palms.

However, the Eighth Princess did not take it seriously and just spoke lightly.

"I advise Concubine Rong to stay calm. If I remember correctly, Concubine Rong is probably guilty now, right?"

"If something ugly happens again at this time, even I, the princess, won't be able to help you."

"Whether Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are still bypassing Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong must know in her heart."

For such a long time, the Eighth Princess had never defended herself. Rong Jiao thought that the Eighth Princess didn't know that her people had said confusing things to the Eighth Prince behind his back. She didn't know that she did it intentionally to misunderstand the Eighth Prince.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Princess suddenly mentioned it today, which made Rong Jiao feel uneasy.
