Nanny Mo Yan represented the Queen Mother, and no one dared not answer her questions, not even the Queen. The Queen was shocked, she had never expected that the Queen Mother would hear about her making things difficult for Jiang Xue, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the empress in a dilemma, Concubine De quickly jumped out to help, "Madame Mo Yan, that's not true. Princess Gong came to see the empress, why would the empress lock her out?"

Nanny Mo Yan glanced at them coldly, "What does Empress Defei mean by this? Could it be that what the hundreds of people in the palace said were all made up to deliberately frame the Empress?"

If it was outside the palace, rumors would be flying everywhere, and three people can make a tiger appear black. But in the palace, the rules are strict, and the status is there. If you want to frame the queen, isn't that courting death?

When Concubine De heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word.

The queen's mind was working quickly, and suddenly, she slapped Yue Tao in the face.

Yue Tao was slapped twice in succession, her ears were buzzing, and before she could react, she was kicked in the back of the knee, and she staggered to her knees.

The Queen was so angry that her face turned green. She pointed at Yue Tao and yelled, "You little bitch, why did you hide the fact that Concubine Gong was coming to pay her respects? It took me more than an hour to find out that someone had come, causing Concubine Gong to suffer this unprovoked disaster."

Yue Tao suddenly came to her senses, and she fell to her knees, kowtowing like crazy: "I was wrong! I was wrong. I fell in love with His Royal Highness Prince Gong and was jealous of Princess Gong, so I was confused for a moment and hid the fact that Princess Gong came to pay her respects, making you think that the Princess entered the palace at 9:00 pm."

Yue Tao took all the responsibilities on herself and washed the queen cleaner than new clothes.

The queen's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and she had Yue Tao slapped twice, then she put on a kind look and said to Jiang Xue, "Changle, this is my fault. My subordinates didn't discipline you well enough, and you suffered. I apologize to you here."

As she spoke, the queen bowed her head.

Jiang Xue quickly supported her. If she really let the Queen bow to her, this matter would spread out and Prince Gong's Mansion would be drowned in saliva, saying that Princess Gong was disrespectful to her elders and ignored the rules, and that Prince Gong was disrespectful to his stepmother and was disobedient and unfilial.

These accusations would hit Xiao Zhan like a rock on his back, and might even put both of their lives in danger.

"My queen, please don't harm Changle with your precious body."

Jiang Xue pulled the queen up, leaving her no room at all.

This woman is quite strong.

Although Jiang Xue's martial arts skills were average, she had trained in Changle Mountain after all, and her skills and strength were much better than those weak women in the deep palace.

With a slight force, he pulled the queen up straight.

Releasing her hand, Jiang Xue retreated to Xiao Zhan's side and said to Mo Yan, "Madam Mo Yan, since Yue Tao has admitted her mistake, what should we do next?"

The queen was shocked. She had originally planned to deal with Yue Tao herself, just by killing her, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xue would ask Mo Yan first.

Now, it will be difficult to keep Yuetao.

"A maidservant, ambitious and wanting to climb the social ladder, had inappropriate thoughts about the prince and deliberately made things difficult for the princess. According to the palace rules, she should be caned twenty times and fasted for three days." Mo Yan glanced at Yue Tao coldly.

Yue Tao widened her eyes, sat down on the ground, a look of horror on her face.

Twenty strokes of the cane, with skin and flesh torn apart, and three days of fasting? You know, during this period she couldn't have contact with anyone, no doctor to treat her injuries, no food to fill her stomach, this was a death sentence for her.

"My Lady, My Lady, please save me."

It took Yue Tao a long time to come back to her senses. She grabbed the queen's skirt with her hands and feet, crying and begging for mercy in panic.

The Queen was disgusted that Yue Tao was pulling her clothes, which ruined her elegant image, so she gave an order and the palace servants dragged Yue Tao away.

"Empress, the servants of Fengming Palace must be properly disciplined in the future. Don't let things like today happen again."

Although Nanny Mo Yan's words were calm, every word made the queen tremble with fear.

"Madam, what you have taught me is true. I will definitely discipline these servants well in the future."

The queen nodded and bowed, not daring to even look at Nanny Mo Yan.

This punishment of Yue Tao was actually a wake-up call to the Queen.

The queen knew that this was the queen mother's warning to her not to pick a fight with Jiang Xue again.

This girl is so capable! Even the Queen Mother, who usually doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, came forward for her.

We must be careful of this woman in the future! It is best to find an opportunity to get rid of her completely! We must not let the power of Prince Gong's Mansion grow any stronger.

"It's getting late, and I have to go back and report to the Empress Dowager. Prince Gong, Princess Gong, you two must be tired, so go back and rest early." After saying that, Nanny Mo Yan lowered her head slightly, turned around and left.

Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue also came out of Fengming Palace.

"This time it's all thanks to Madam Mo Yan." At the palace gate, the two of them specially thanked Madam Mo Yan.

"Your Highness and Princess, you are welcome. In this deep palace, people's hearts are hidden behind their stomachs. You must be more careful in the future."

Nanny Mo Yan reminded earnestly.

She had watched Xiao Zhan grow up since he was a child, and had had many interactions with Lu Congfang in the past. Like the Queen Mother, she loved these two children very much. They both hoped that these two children would be able to live smoothly and safely, and never go through so many hardships like their parents.

After bidding farewell to Nanny Mo Yan, the two returned to Prince Gong's Mansion. As soon as he got home, the first thing Xiao Zhan did was to find some ice cubes to apply on Jiang Xue's face.

Yue Tao slapped Xiao Zhan hard, and looking at the red mark, a raging rage burned in his heart.

"Don't worry, this little red mark will disappear soon."

Jiang Xue comforted him and gently stroked the big hand holding the ice.

Seeing Xiao Zhan getting angry because of her, Jiang Xue felt warm in her heart and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Thinking of how he had just rushed in to stand up for her in Fengming Palace, her heartbeat quickened.

The feeling of being cared for is like the warm sun in winter, so warm that one wants to stay in bed. I have never experienced this feeling in my previous life when I followed Jun Li.

"I could have been more powerful in that move just now." He said this like a child, which made my smile deepen.

“Yun Che definitely doesn’t think that this slap I received will end in vain, right?” “I’m not a magnanimous person. I will get this slap back sooner or later.”

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see how you fight back." He asked with a raised eyebrow.

I winked at him and said mysteriously, "Just wait and see."

Two days later, I was immersed in the fragrance of the flowers in the garden and watering them, when I suddenly heard news from the palace that the Queen was suffering from an unbearable itchiness for some reason, and her body was covered with dense red bumps. The Emperor Beiling was so frightened that he almost jumped up while serving her in bed.
