Chapter 68 The Truth
At this time, Xiaotao suddenly cried and told her all about the situation at that time.

Of course Yan Ruobing believed Xiaotao's words, and the Xiaolan that Xiaotao was talking about was Yan Ruoyu's personal maid, the one who was holding Xiaotao just now with a duster.

Hearing Xiaotao's words, Yan Ruobing thought about it carefully, if she guessed correctly, Yan Ruoyu probably wanted to find fault with this matter, so she arranged for Xiaolan to trouble Xiaotao on purpose.

She had been away from the palace for so many days, she never expected that Yan Ruoyu could not sit still and wanted to deal with her as soon as she came back.

"As Xiaotao said! Xiaolan is also responsible for this matter, why doesn't my sister discipline her servants properly?"

There was an incomprehensible smile on the corner of Yan Ruobing's mouth, but her eyes were so cold that there was no warmth.

"You spitting blood! You obviously made a mistake yourself, and you still want to put the blame on me."

Hearing Xiaotao's confession, Xiaolan couldn't bear it immediately, she stood up and pointed at Xiaotao loudly to refute.

Yan Ruobing frowned in displeasure, with an invisible smile still on her face, and said in a gentle tone: "Master, when is the servant talking in such a mess! There are no rules, you! Go and slap her." ! Do not stop without the order of this princess!"

Yan Ruobing casually pointed to a guard next to him. Although the guard was called by Yan Ruoyu, they were only responsible for guarding the palace, so Yan Ruobing gave orders, and he naturally had to obey.

So, the guard stepped forward, pulled Xiao Lan out and began to slap her mouth, Yan Ruoyu was so angry that she burst into anger.

But helplessly, she couldn't stop it, because Yan Ruobing's punishment was not unreasonable.

Soon, Xiaolan's mouth was swollen from the palm, and her cheeks were as ugly as buns.

Yan Ruobing walked up to Xiaolan, touched Xiaolan's face very tenderly, and asked, "Tell me, princess, what happened at that time? Did Xiaotao overturn the thing by herself, or did you push her?" "

Even though her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, Xiaolan still knew what to say and what not to say.

So, after she glanced at Yan Ruoyu, she said firmly, "Xiaotao overturned it!"

"What? The voice is so low? This princess can't hear me, so continue to slap me, this time until she can speak clearly."

As soon as Yan Ruobing finished speaking, the guard started to slap her mouth again. This time, Yan Ruobing stopped after beating Xiaolan until the corner of her mouth was bleeding.

"How? Can you speak clearly now?"

This time, Xiaolan was completely terrified of being beaten, so she plopped and knelt on the ground, crying, "Yes...it was Xiaolan who accidentally bumped into Xiaotao and knocked over the bird's nest of Concubine Yu. Xiaolan was afraid that she would punish her." , that’s why it’s Xiaotao who overturned it.”

Xiaolan confessed while crying, Yan Ruobing looked at Xiaolan coldly, although she knew in her heart that Xiaolan was taking the blame for Yan Ruoyu's instigation, but she also got some interest back for Xiaotao's beating.

Hearing Xiaolan's words clearly, Yan Ruoyu immediately kicked Xiaolan down who was kneeling on the ground angrily, and cursed: "You bitch! You actually did such a nasty thing, this concubine is really in vain. is you!"

After Yan Ruoyu beat and scolded Xiaolan, she looked guilty and said to Yan Ruobing: "Sister, I'm really sorry. It's my sister who didn't check it out and blamed Xiaotao. My sister must take good care of Xiaolan. Something like this will happen again.”

"Hmph! I don't need to continue to pursue what happened today, but if there is a next time, I will be merciless if you are blamed! Take care of yourself!"

After all, the matter hadn't gotten too big. Although Xiao Tao suffered a little skin trauma, Xiao Lan's punishment far exceeded Xiao Tao's by several times.

So if the matter is clarified, it can only be left as it is for the time being. If she continues to pursue the matter, it may be her fault in the end.

Taking Xiaotao back to Taozhu Pavilion, Yan Ruobing personally applied some medicine for her skin trauma.

"Miss, I'm sorry, Xiaotao has caused you trouble again."

Inside the room, Xiaotao lowered her head with guilt on her face, as if she was about to cry, her voice was full of self-blame.

"Silly girl! Don't do this next time. If anyone dares to bully you, don't bear it. With Miss Ben backing you up, what are you afraid of!"

Seeing Xiaotao's injuries all over her body, Yan Ruobing was very angry.

But it wasn't that Qi Xiaotao caused trouble, it was because Qi Xiaotao didn't know how to resist and protect herself.

After hearing Yan Ruobing's words, Xiaotao felt warm in her heart, but she didn't dare to act recklessly because of Yan Ruobing's support, she was afraid that it would cause more trouble.

After comforting Xiao Tao, Yan Ruo Bing went back to her room to rest.

It's just after lunch, so she plans to take a nap.She ran to Yan Ruoyu's place early in the morning, making her tired and sleepy.

She found more and more that her drowsiness was getting worse.

Sometimes I can sleep all day, and sometimes I can fall asleep even sitting in a daze.

Just when Yan Ruobing was lying on the bed and getting ready to sleep, a figure suddenly walked up to her bed and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you punished a servant this morning?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Ruobing knew it was Huangfu Ao, so she kept her eyes closed, and said casually: "Your Majesty has heard more than that. He already knows the ins and outs of the matter, so why bother to ask again and again."

She was tired, and the morning thing was not a big deal, and it was over, so she didn't want to bring it up again.

"The queen mother summoned the king today."

Suddenly, Huangfu Ao changed the subject and said something that had nothing to do with what he said before.

"Um……?"

Yan Ruobing still pretended not to be very interested, waiting for Huangfu Ao's next words.

But she remembered that the Queen Mother had always been very optimistic about Huangfu Ao, and even wanted to make Huangfu Ao the crown prince.

So Yan Ruobing's first reaction was to think about the new crown prince.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Ao suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, he reluctantly said a word: "The Empress Dowager said that she wants to hug a great-grandson."

Hearing Huangfu Ao's words, Yan Ruobing immediately opened her eyes, turned over and sat up, staring at Huangfu Ao with big eyes, and stammeringly asked: "But...then what?"

She is not a fool, the meaning of Huangfu Ao's words is very clear, that is, the queen mother wants her to have a child with Huangfu Ao.

She hadn't even thought about handing herself over to Huangfu Ao, let alone giving birth to him.

At this time, Huangfu Ao suddenly became a little embarrassed, his expression flickered, and even the way he looked at Yan Ruobing became strange.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Yan Ruobing immediately wrapped herself in a quilt, then retreated into the corner, and warned, "You...don't come here!"

It's broad daylight now, even if the queen mother is in a hurry, she won't let the two of them have a bridal chamber right away.

And there was another point that Yan Ruobing couldn't figure out, even though Huangfu Ao respected the Queen Mother very much, he would not be controlled by the Queen Mother.He even changed his principles because of a word from the Queen Mother.

She clearly knew that Huangfu Ao was not close to women, and he was even less interested in her.

Not only that, according to her investigation, Huangfu Ao had never touched any of the women in the palace.This also made her wonder if Huangfu Ao is sick, maybe he is still a virgin?
