"That's right! This child is kindhearted, not as complicated as the princess. If the princess is angry, she can vent it on us. Why bully a new child in the palace!"

"Queen Dowager, you have seen how Princess Changle is so rude that she even spared no children. With such a character, how can she be worthy of the status of Queen! Please, Queen Dowager, be fair and give Feng Qin an explanation!"

"Please, Queen Mother, seek justice for Feng Qin!"

All the concubines knelt down and pleaded with the Queen Mother, looking as if they would not give up until their goal was achieved.

Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, it turns out you guys had already planned this out.

Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, she understood that the gathering of these women here today was a trap.

She looked up at the Queen Mother and saw that her usually dull face was now brighter and her gaze slowly focused on her.

The Queen Mother seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

"Queen Dowager, are you going to punish Princess Changle?" Someone couldn't wait any longer, so Cheng asked first.

Her dislike for Jiang Xue was long-standing, and this feeling had been deeply rooted since the first day she entered Prince Gong's Mansion.

In the past, with Madam Zhou, Madam Chu and Madam Feng standing in her way, she could only go with the flow.

However, these ladies were eventually defeated by Jiang Xue. Seeing Jiang Xue becoming more and more favored, how could these concubines in name only not feel resentful?

Cheng decided not to wait any longer and stepped forward: "Come here, Jiang Xue is disrespectful in the hall and insulting the nobles, drag her out, take off her clothes, and beat her with thirty sticks!"

As soon as the order was given, the guards following the concubines rushed towards Jiang Xue. But they were no match for Fu Dong, and they were all knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Jiang Xue, this is in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, how dare you resist!"

Seeing the miserable state of their men, the concubines were horrified and stepped back involuntarily.

"Without the Queen Mother's order, what right do they have to attack me? Why can't I defend myself?"

Jiang Xue glanced around coldly. Except for Feng Qin who still kept smiling, everyone else's faces changed color with fear.

"Did I push her?" Jiang Xue pointed at Feng Qin and said.

"If you weren't blind, you should be able to see clearly that she fell down on her own. No matter how much I pushed her, she wouldn't have become like that."

As she spoke, she gently shook her torn sleeve and winked at Fudong.

The next second, there was a "hiss" sound, and Cheng's clothes were torn, revealing her underwear, with her skin faintly visible.

"Ah!" Cheng hurriedly hugged herself, squatted on the ground, her face flushed.

Jiang Xue looked down at her and said, "In terms of impoliteness, according to your standards, you are much worse than me now, right?"

"You!" Cheng raised her head in shame and anger, looking directly at the imposing woman in front of her.

"Besides, the Queen Mother hasn't even spoken yet, but you're rushing to make a decision on her behalf. Does that count as exceeding your authority?"

Jiang Xue interrupted Cheng and continued, "In this palace, who doesn't know that only Nanny Mo Yan can speak on behalf of the Queen Mother? In terms of seniority and seniority, what right do you have to snatch Nanny Mo Yan's position?

If you don't agree with me, why not report this matter to the front hall and see who will suffer in the end, me or your Cheng family, how about it?"

Cheng was speechless after what Jiang Xue said. She could only lower her head and grit her teeth, feeling unwilling. This woman really knows how to poke people in the sore spot. She knew very well that she couldn't make this matter public!

Feng Qin glanced at the noble ladies around her and secretly despised them in her heart.

At this moment, her ears moved and her eyes turned to the door, only to see a man walking slowly towards her.

An idea struck Feng Qin, and she immediately pretended to be weak and helpless, walked up to Jiang Xue and said:

"Just now, I accidentally fell and pulled the princess's clothes, which caused inconvenience to the princess. It was really wrong. All the fault is mine. I beg the princess to forgive Sister Cheng."

It sounded as if Jiang Xue had just lost her temper because her clothes were damaged and was taking it out on the concubines.

It has to be said that Feng Qin's methods far surpassed those of these noble women. She used her innocent appearance to easily win the sympathy of others.

"Feng Qin, you don't have to be like this." Jiang Xue comforted softly.

"Yes, Feng Qin, the princess started it first, what's wrong with you?"

The concubines around him all echoed the sentiment, and for a moment they seemed unusually united.

"What happened here?" At this time, Xiao Zhan's voice came from outside the door.

He heard that Jiang Xue was summoned by the Queen Mother, so he hurried over. Unexpectedly, he heard the noise inside as soon as he arrived.

Seeing Jiang Xue surrounded by a group of concubines with a bad look on her face, and a strange woman standing opposite her, Xiao Zhan immediately guessed the other person's identity: Feng Qin, the daughter that the Feng family had found.

"Your Highness." Upon seeing this, the concubines hurriedly saluted.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how I have offended Princess Changle. Just because I fell and accidentally ruined her clothes, the princess wants to punish me severely.

I tried to persuade her with good intentions, but the princess humiliated me in public and even tore my clothes!" Cheng stood up with tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.

"Your Majesty, what Sister Cheng said is all true, and all the sisters can testify to it."

Other concubines also echoed and tried to prove Cheng's innocence.

The other concubines agreed one after another. They came here today just to deal with Jiang Xue. Only by getting rid of her could they take the position of queen.

Otherwise, it will all be in vain.

"Is that so?" Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes falling on Jiang Xue's torn sleeves.

This scene seemed familiar. I remembered that a similar scene had happened in Prince Gong's Mansion. It seemed that these concubines were just like this.

He walked closer to Jiang Xue, took off his cloak, and gently put it on her to cover her torn clothes.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a low voice. Jiang Xue nodded slightly, indicating that she was fine.

Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at Feng Qin not far away, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Are you Feng Qin?" He noticed that she was still holding the piece of cloth torn from Jiang Xue.

"Your Majesty, it is me," Feng Qin replied. This was the first time she had seen such an outstanding man, and she was filled with admiration.

Compared to those vulgar men I had met before, this emperor was simply a dragon from the sky.

She thought to herself that if she could gain the emperor's favor, she would not only gain power, but also be able to quickly improve her cultivation.

Her original goal was to find Yu Prajna by getting close to Jiang Xue, but now, she decided to change her plan.

As long as they get the emperor, it will be easy to find Yu Prajna. She has a sweet smile on her face, but her eyes hide unknown ambitions.

Xiao Zhan is not an ordinary person. He can see through Feng Qin's complexity at a glance.

When an ordinary woman first meets an emperor, even if she appears calm, there will be some fear in her eyes. But Feng Qin is different. Her eyes are full of excitement and anticipation, just like a hunter who has found his target.

Xiao Zhan sneered in his heart. It was not a pleasant feeling to be treated as a prey.

"Qingfeng, take her away, give her five lashes with the cane, and make her kneel outside the hall for half an hour." He ordered.
