"Amber, please go and invite your Majesty to come." The queen ordered after seeing her like this.

Hu Bo took the order and hurried to the imperial study room to find that Sheng Chengjie was also there. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should say anything.

"What's wrong? Didn't you just say that the queen had something important to report outside? Why didn't she say anything when she came in?" His Majesty looked at Amber and asked without saying a word.

"Back to the emperor, this is what happened..." Amber told everything about what happened just now, but did not mention Xue Jinruo's matter at all.

After hearing this, His Majesty asked: "How was this discovered?"

"Yes..." Amber glanced at Sheng Chengjie secretly, and replied bravely: "The Princess Regent found out."

As expected, Sheng Chengjie sneered and said: "I knew that whenever something happened in the palace, she would be involved. From this point of view, she is really a troublemaker, and she can't see the purity in the palace."

"That's enough." His Majesty frowned and said, "Xue Jinruo cured the plague, so he is certainly a meritorious minister. How can you say that to others?"

Sheng Chengjie stopped talking when he heard this.

"Come here, please go to Fengyi Palace. You can also go with us." His Majesty then ordered again.

"My son, I obey." Sheng Chengjie was eager to go with him, so he bowed and saluted.

Soon the two of them arrived at Fengyi Palace. After everyone paid their respects, His Majesty sat down with the Queen.

Sheng Chengjie spoke first, and said angrily to Xue Jinruo: "The emperor's aunt is really a troublemaker. She just made a mess in Mingyue Kingdom, and only two days after she came back, she came to cause trouble in the palace again. "

Xue Jinruo glanced at him lightly and ignored him. After all, dogs that bite never bark. As long as you ignore a barking person, he will be the one who is embarrassed.

But Sheng Chengjie didn't accept this trick at all. When he saw Xue Jinruo ignoring him, he became even more aggressive and sarcastic. Even the queen couldn't help but frown.

"Auntie Huang's nosy habit should be corrected, otherwise she might get burned one day." Sheng Chengjie said with a malicious smile.

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince think the plague is nothing? It's just that the plague hasn't passed yet. Do you think you don't need me to continue treating it?" Xue Jinruo blinked and smiled after hearing this.

"Hmph, you are really good at showing off your words." Sheng Chengjie was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't refute this.

"Just say a few words," Xue Jinruo was about to reply, but His Majesty coughed heavily, interrupting the quarrel between the two. He looked at the two of them and said to Sheng Jiaojiao, "Please explain. .”

"Father, I have nothing to explain. The plague is raging in the palace, and my palace is also a victim. Babao must be punished for forgetting to report it, but we cannot rely on the one-sided words of a few palace maids and the fact that my maid failed to report the plague. It was spread from my palace. Isn't the princess's move a little too arbitrary?" Sheng Jiaojiao still said what she said before, but this time she also pulled Xue Jinruo off.

After hearing this, His Majesty thought for a while and felt that Sheng Jiaojiao might really not know about this, but Babao must be punished for not reporting it. However, this is just a small matter, and the crime will not lead to death. Palms and mouths are long. That’s all it takes to have a long memory.

"Come here, bring Babao to palm fifty." His Majesty ordered after thinking about it, and soon a guard rushed up and held Babao's arm. She was shocked and glanced at Sheng Chengjie inadvertently. , but this point did not escape Xue Jinruo's eyes.

"Wait!"

Just when he was about to take action, Sheng Chengjie shouted, and the guard had to stop his movements abruptly, and then looked at Sheng Chengjie suspiciously.

Sheng Chengjie immediately knelt down to plead for Babao: "Father, the matter has not yet been investigated clearly. If we fight rashly, does it mean that we have to surrender? Can you please spare her this time for the sake of my son?"

Xue Jinruo thought of Babao's look just now and said with a thought: "His Royal Highness actually knelt down to plead for a palace maid. It really opened my eyes. Is it possible that there is some shady relationship between the two of you?"

Hearing this, Sheng Chengjie felt as if he had been stepped on. He pointed at Xue Jinruo and said, "Auntie, please don't slander me. Although she is a palace maid, she is still a woman, isn't she? How can you insult her innocence like this?"

"What's going on? Sheng Chengjie, please tell me honestly." His Majesty was also stunned when he heard this. Seeing that Sheng Chengjie's reaction was somewhat wrong, he asked.

"Father, why do I have an unusual relationship with this palace maid? I'm just worried that my fifth sister will have no one to take care of her in the future." Sheng Chengjie had no choice but to explain to His Majesty.

"Isn't that right? His Majesty, His Majesty just said that he should be in charge of fifty years. Shouldn't being in charge of the five princesses affect his service?" Xue Jinruo heard something wrong in Sheng Chengjie's words. She frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Sheng Chengjie gritted his teeth and replied: "Even if it's just the palm, it will be affected. She has to rest for a few days. Who will take care of her in the meantime?"

"But aren't there any other maids in the Fifth Princess's Palace? Your Highness, your reason is too far-fetched, isn't it?" Xue Jinruo sneered and said, leaving Sheng Chengjie speechless. He opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak. .

He had no choice but to stand up and said: "Anyway, this prince has nothing to do with these eight treasures. Father, please just think that I didn't express my plea just now, but I am really just worried that the fifth sister will not be taken care of."

After saying that, he lowered his hands and stepped aside. His Majesty frowned and looked at Sheng Chengjie for a while, then waved his hand to signal the guards to take action.

Soon, a crackling sound came. After all, His Majesty was watching from behind. The guards did not dare to show any mercy. The fifty slaps were all heavy-handed. After the slap, Babao's cheeks were swollen. , there was still a little blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Fifth Princess, please take her back to heal and rest first. Remember to report it in time next time you encounter something like this." After the beating, His Majesty couldn't bear to see Babao's miserable state, so he asked Sheng Jiao Jiao takes her back to heal.

"My son, I obey." Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Xue Jinruo with hatred in her eyes, then said goodbye to His Majesty, and went back with Babao, who was speechless.

After they left, His Majesty asked the others to go out first while he wanted to talk to the Queen.

Others also walked away one after another.

Sheng Chengjie looked at Xue Jinruo with a fierce look, but Xue Jinruo just smiled back at him.
