Cao Dongyang was very familiar with the guards. When the guards at the palace gate saw him, they immediately bowed and greeted him and let him in.

Xu Zhao is also considered an acquaintance in the palace, but he is still somewhat inferior to the only son of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Prince.

However, no guards made things difficult for him, and he entered the palace smoothly.

Since he came to file a complaint, he would naturally go to Yongning Palace to ask to see Concubine Shu.

At the gate of the imperial palace, Cao Dongyang is familiar; at Changle Palace, Xu Zhao is familiar.

Xu Zhao was in a hurry to file a complaint, and he jogged all the way after entering the palace gate, making Cao Dongyang, who was following closely behind him, so tired that he was sweating profusely.

However, Xu Zhao stopped while running and turned around and said, "Prince, my aunt didn't even summon me to the palace. What if I run over rashly and make the emperor unhappy? Otherwise, should we go and pay our respects to His Majesty first?"

"That's right."

Cao Dongyang also reacted.

So the two of them ran back to see the emperor.

The emperor still felt sorry for his nephew Cao Dongyang. As long as it was not a serious matter such as murder or arson, he would not refuse.

Hearing that he had brought Concubine Shu's nephew to the palace to file a complaint, he took a break from his busy schedule and asked one more question.

Unexpectedly, it was related to the Zhenxi Palace.

Since the King of Zhenxi and his family returned to the capital from Caiyun Mansion around the New Year, in just a few months, his family has had more things to do than those who have lived in the capital all year round.

One thing after another, I never heard anyone say "good".

The emperor was already dissatisfied with the Prince of Zhenxi's Mansion and had long wanted to deal with Mu Fang, but he was afraid that people would say that he was "killing the dog after the rabbit was dead", so he endured it.

To the extent that even when Mu Fang came to the palace to cry and complain, he didn't want to listen at all and only wanted to curse, "You deserve it."

Now, her daughter is arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone. She slanders concubines and insults meritorious officials in public. If he doesn't teach her a lesson, wouldn't he, as the emperor, disappoint all the officials?

This reason sounds very plausible, but only His Majesty knows how ridiculous it is!

Anyway...it's just a matter of finding a suitable excuse.

Exactly!

"The Imperial Concubine has been ill recently, so please don't disturb her rest. Let me call Minhui here, and you can confront her face to face."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the eunuch chief beside him.

Old eunuchs are all shrewd people, especially those who serve the emperor.

Not long after, Princess Minhui entered the palace...

Then, before he had the time to meet the Queen, he was summoned before the Emperor.

When Princess Minhui saw Cao Dongyang and Xu Zhao standing beside her, she was so angry that her teeth were broken.

They actually filed a complaint with the Emperor!

When His Majesty saw her covering her face, he became even more displeased, his expression somewhat ugly, and his voice naturally became extremely majestic: "Minhui, I ask you, have you slandered the Imperial Concubine?"

"My maid...my maid..."

Minhui didn't dare to lie at this time, because lying in front of the emperor would be deceiving the emperor.

Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime!

Seeing her hesitant, the emperor stopped asking questions and said angrily, "You are not allowed to criticize the imperial concubine? In my opinion, the King of Zhenxi has spoiled you. If you are not taught strictly by the family, you may get into trouble in the future."

"Your Majesty, please check carefully. I am just... just..."

The more nervous Minhui became, the more she stuttered.

The emperor was even more furious when he saw this, and he slammed the dragon table in anger and shouted, "Drag him out and make him fifty years old as a warning to others."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy... Your Majesty, please have mercy... Ah——"

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

As the sound of slapping came from outside, Cao Dongyang and Xu Zhao hurriedly knelt down to flatter the emperor.

When Xu Xing arrived, Princess Minhui's face was already as red and swollen as a pig's head...
