Princess of the auxiliary country

"Impossible, I don't believe that my father would give such an order."

Xiao Zhihuan shook his head, pushed Gao Fu away and rushed out. He wanted to ask his father why he did this.

However, would Gao Fu let him rush out?
He knew very well how angry the emperor was at this time. The prince's passing at this time would undoubtedly make the emperor's anger rise again.

He winked at the guards he brought with him, and the two guards quickly stepped forward to stop Xiao Zhihuan.

"Your Highness, please maintain your dignity."

"The emperor ordered you to be grounded for one month. If you go there now, you are disobeying the order. I'm afraid the emperor will be even more angry and disadvantageous to you."

As soon as Gao Fu said these words, Guo Fang, the prince's personal attendant, suddenly trembled.

He quickly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Zhihuan, and whispered persuasion: "Your Highness, the senior manager is right. I am afraid that the emperor is still angry at this moment. If you go, it will be very detrimental to you."

"Calm down first. It's useless for you to talk about this matter. You have to go to the Queen to intercede."

After he finished speaking, he turned to signal to a palace maid.

The palace maid immediately understood and trotted towards the east palace. Gao Fu had no intention of stopping her.

He didn't want to offend the prince to death, and this time the emperor's decree included a punishment of thirty sticks.

The stick is the crown prince. He still has a lot of burden in his heart. He might as well ask the palace maid to inform the queen, so as not to have to carry out the execution himself and have trouble explaining to the queen.

After all, no one in the entire palace knew that the Queen loved the Prince the most.

The palace maid walked out of the East Palace and ran towards Fengqi Palace quickly.

Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of Fengqi Palace.

"Sister Qiu'er, please hurry up and tell me that I want to see the Queen. Something big happened in the East Palace."

Hearing this, the expression of the palace maid named Qiu'er changed, she said "Wait a moment" and quickly entered Fengqi Palace.

After a while, Qiu'er came out and summoned the maids from the East Palace to come in.

Queen Shen was sitting on the main seat, looking at the sweaty and red-faced maid of the East Palace and asked calmly, "What happened in the East Palace?"

The maid of the East Palace knelt down quickly and told Gao Fu about the oral instructions.

As her words fell, the expressions of the ladies and nuns in Fengqi Palace changed, but Queen Shen's expression was quite indifferent.

It was as if she didn't hear what the maid of the East Palace said.

Seeing this, the maid of the East Palace continued: "Queen, please quickly find a way to save Your Highness."

"save?"

Queen Shen's eyelids raised slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"How to save? The emperor has given an order, and it must be carried out. Do you want me to take the lead in resisting the order?"

When the maid from the East Palace heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly kowtowed and said she didn't dare.

"The emperor is the prince's father. For the emperor to warn him like this, it must be because he has done something wrong that he shouldn't have done. Women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. Don't you know?"

Although she was shocked when she heard the maid of the East Palace speak out Emperor Zhaowu's oral instructions just now, she also understood that the emperor would not issue such a stern instruction without reason.

Now that the order has been issued, the prince must have done something very serious wrong.

If she went to plead for mercy, she would probably make the emperor even more disgusted, and the punishment would be even greater.

It's best not to go. It's best to wait until the emperor's punishment is over and his anger has subsided, and then he can slowly plead for mercy.

"Okay, go back and tell the prince to obey the order honestly and don't think about escaping. Otherwise, not only will the emperor be in trouble, but I will also punish him severely." The maid of the East Palace did not dare to say anything more at this time and had to retreat. .

"My dear, this is not a trivial matter. Do you really want to go over and take a look?"

After the palace maid retreated, Aunt Zhou next to Queen Shen asked in a low voice.

"No need. If I go, it will make him feel hopeful."

"He made his own choice and deserves to be punished."

Grandma Zhou also knew about what the prince did this time, and she also felt that it was very inappropriate and very stupid.

As the prince's mother, the Queen loves the prince the most. She has secretly planned many things for him over the years, so she just talked about the third lady of Duke Ji's house.

She knew very well how the Empress had talked with Princess Ningyang at that time, and it was something the Empress had to ask for with great difficulty.

People outside also rumored that Huo Junyao wanted to turn a grass chicken into a phoenix. However, Princess Ningyang never thought of letting Huo Junyao marry into the royal family from the beginning.

In the words of Princess Ningyang, she found her daughter with great difficulty, and she wanted to make up for it by keeping her by her side.

The palace is a good place in the eyes of outsiders, but what kind of person is Princess Ningyang?How could she not know what kind of place the palace is?
The status of a Crown Princess is noble, but she also has a lot of responsibilities and things to bear.

If the prince ascends the throne in the future, whether for the purpose of procreating heirs or stabilizing the court, he will definitely bring many concubines into the palace.

As a mother, especially a mother who wants to make amends, would she be willing to let her daughter enter the palace, a cannibalistic place, and compete with other women for the rest of her life?
The Queen Empress finally begged Princess Ningyang to nod, but when the Crown Prince came, she not only harmed the third lady of Duke Ji's Mansion, but also slapped the Queen Empress in the face.

Ever since she found out about the rumors, the Queen has not slept well. She is worried, how can she explain this to Princess Ningyang?
East Palace.

Xiao Zhihuan has calmed down.

Guo Fang stood at the door and kept looking outside. He finally saw the palace maid returning. He was happy at first, but when he saw that she was the only one behind him, Guo Fang's heart immediately sank.

Then he quickly ran over and asked the palace maid.

After hearing the Queen's attitude, Guo Fang sighed helplessly.

After all, I still underestimated the status of the third young lady of Duke Ji's house in the eyes of the emperor and empress.

As a close servant, he was naturally very clear about what the prince was doing, and he even arranged for some things to be done personally.

He didn't pay much attention to the third lady of Duke Ji's mansion, but he never thought that she would bring such a huge blow to his master.

When he saw Guo Fang come back and saw the dejected look of the messenger maid, Gao Fu already knew what was going on.

At the same time, I was also shocked at how much the Empress valued the third young lady of Duke Ji's mansion.

"What did the queen mother say?"

Xiao Zhihuan also noticed Guo Fang trotting out just now. When he saw Guo Fang coming back, he was full of hope.

Guo Fang shook his head and whispered the news about bringing the palace maid back.

Xiao Zhihuan staggered back two steps, his face full of despair.

He muttered softly.

"Does even mother and queen have to give up on being an orphan?"

"Why is this happening? Why on earth does Huo Junyao make her father, the Queen, and the Queen think so highly of her? Why?"

This was something he couldn't figure out even if he tried hard. Why did his father and mother value Huo Junyao so much?
