Chapter 8 Who do you think you are?
The figure behind the tree finally revealed itself. That person was dressed in a grey robe, and his eyes showed neither sadness nor joy. His expression only fluctuated slightly when he looked at the red colour in the courtyard.

It is not convenient for him to interfere in other people's affairs due to his status, so let Emperor Jingyuan handle it.

"I understand." The attendant bowed his head and replied, "Sir, do you want to take Xiao Huang back first? This is the harem after all. If people find out."

Xiao Mingxuan looked up at the cat in the servant's hands, reached out to take it, stroked it twice, and calmed the cat's restlessness.

"It's okay, just go ahead, I'll be back in a moment."

Xiao Mingxuan hid in the tree and watched the scene in the courtyard quietly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

This was not his first time in the harem. Ever since he raised Xiao Huang, it liked to run around everywhere. In order to find this little guy, Xiao Mingxuan had figured out the location of the harem, but it was the first time he saw the little princess.

He was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. People died in this palace every day. He was not a saint, and he did not need to save everyone.

It was just this little princess that made his dead conscience show some signs of revival the moment he saw her.

Yuanyang Palace,
"You mean that whether it was the wounds on the palace maid or Xihe that day, they were all instructed by Concubine Cheng?" Emperor Jingyuan's low voice sounded with a hint of gnashing of teeth, and his constantly rising and falling chest proved his tremendous anger.

Sanping knelt down and said more respectfully, "Your Majesty, that's what the maids and eunuchs said. According to the guards in the cold palace, Concubine Cheng was very happy when she was pregnant. Later, she was furious when she found out it was a princess. She has been beating and scolding the little princess over the years. Except for the maid named Yunhui, the other servants have been disrespectful to the princess many times, all with Concubine Cheng's tacit approval."

"Who does she think she is! How dare she attack the royal heir! Bitch! I should have killed her from the beginning." Emperor Jingyuan threw the teacup on the imperial table. The sound of the porcelain breaking seemed to hit Sanping's heart.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Sanping didn't dare to offend anyone at this time, so he had to bring up the little princess. "Your Majesty, fortunately the little princess has been taken away by you. With Your Majesty here, the little princess won't suffer anymore."

When hearing Xihe's name, that delicate little fleshy girl flashed before Emperor Jingyuan's eyes. She was in so much pain that she wanted to curl up into a ball, but in order not to worry him, she kept silent and even comforted him. Such a well-behaved and sensible daughter was tortured by that bitch for five years. If she hadn't run away that day, who knows what kind of abuse she would have suffered.

"Why hasn't Xihe come back yet?"

I was just picking something up, and it's been an hour and there's still no news.

Sanping breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, as long as the little princess was mentioned, His Majesty would suppress his anger no matter how angry he was.

"Then shall I go and have a look?"

Emperor Jingyuan was afraid that something might have happened to his little daughter, so he planned to go look for someone himself. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the person downstairs talking to someone. The person seemed very anxious and kept trying to break in.

"Sanping, who is that?"

Sanping calmed down and looked at it, "Your Majesty, this seems to be the attendant beside the Ninth Prince of Beili."

Emperor Jingyuan frowned and went to pick up his daughter in a hurry, with no intention of meeting her at all.

Unexpectedly, the attendant saw Emperor Jingyuan and rushed over and knelt down.

Emperor Jingyuan was so furious that he had no place to vent his anger and was about to execute this tactless servant, but the next second his eyes suddenly widened.

"Your Majesty, I am here to report that the little princess is being embarrassed in the cold palace."

"What did you say?" Emperor Jingyuan's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip. "Who dares to embarrass the little princess?"

The servant prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to look directly at him. "I didn't know. I only saw several palace maids and eunuchs pulling the little princess, and she even fell to the ground, so I came to report it." "Why didn't you report it earlier!"

Xihe had been gone for an hour. It would take at most half an hour to get from Yuanyang Palace to the cold palace. Why did he come back only now?

The attendant raised his head and glanced at the eunuch who had just stopped him, and whispered, "I came here a long time ago, but was stopped..."

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die." The eunuch who stopped the man turned pale in the face, knelt on the ground with a thud, and begged for mercy continuously.

Emperor Jingyuan raised his leg and kicked the eunuch directly, who flew away. He hit the pillar heavily and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"I don't know when such a person appeared in front of the emperor. He actually dared to intercept the news without authorization." Emperor Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes without any warmth seemed to be looking at a dead person. "Sanping, peel off his skin, pull out his tendons, cut off his head, and hang it on the Meridian Gate!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jingyuan looked up and saw Concubine Chen and Concubine Yun coming. He didn't want to pay attention to them, but when he thought of his plan, he said in a deep voice: "Concubine and Concubine Yun, please come together."

Emperor Jingyuan left quickly. He was now focused on the cold palace. He told Cheng Meiren that she'd better be sensible and not touch Xihe, otherwise, if his little daughter died, he would tear that bitch into pieces.

Emperor Jingyuan hadn't arrived yet, but the cold palace was in chaos. Concubine Cheng was determined to kill Yunhui, but Xihe refused to let her. During the struggle, the two of them reached out to pull their daughter over and give her a beating.

The next second, a stone flew out of the air and hit Cheng Meiren's arm, forcing her to take several steps back.

Xihe looked at Cheng Meiren innocently, "What's wrong with you, mother? Is there a ghost? Xihe is scared."

As she spoke, the little princess went into Yunhui's arms, "Sister Yunhui, there is a little ghost. He said...he said he wants to eat mother. Sister Yunhui, Xihe is scared."

As soon as Xihe finished speaking, everyone around her quickly took a few steps back. Even the palace maid who had just supported Cheng Meiren let go, as if she was avoiding some plague.

Lady Cheng was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Xihe on the face. A slap mark immediately appeared on Xihe's cheek, which showed how hard the other party hit him.

"I think you really don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. Today I will..."

Before Concubine Cheng could finish her words, she suddenly fell out, hit her head against a pillar, and spit out blood. Her hairpins and rings were disheveled, and she did not look at all like a queen.

"Who do you think you are to teach her?" A sinister voice came from behind, and if you listened carefully, it sounded a bit like gnashing of teeth.

"Daddy, hug me~" Xihe opened her arms and hugged Emperor Jingyuan's thighs tightly as if she had first met him. Her slightly trembling body revealed her fear.

Emperor Jingyuan quickly picked up his daughter and touched her red cheek lovingly, with a hint of violence in his eyes.

Xihe's little hand touched Emperor Jingyuan's brow, "Daddy, it's okay, it's just a pat like before, Daddy will give Xihe a blast and it won't hurt."

Concubine Cheng finally realized what had happened, and quickly crawled to the feet of Emperor Jingyuan, pretending to be about to cry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you finally came to see me."
