I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Nanny Liu rolled her eyes. She was well aware of her current status. Even if she hated Luo Nianxi, she couldn't show it in front of outsiders, so as to avoid being caught.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly shook her head to deny it.

"I am just a servant, how dare I hate Princess Yan? I just think she acts strangely and I am afraid she will hurt the prince someday..."

She spoke with a clear conscience about her hatred for Luo Nianxi.

"Then tell me why you say this is Luo Nianxi's trick? Do you have any evidence?"

Evidence? Of course she didn't have any. She just made it up because she hated Luo Nianxi.

But she nodded seriously.

"I don't have any evidence. The last time the emperor came to interrogate her, she was so cunning that she didn't show her true colors. How could I, with my mortal eyes, catch her? But you can just ask Chuntao to come over for questioning. She has been with Luo Nianxi for many years and must know everything about her."

When mentioning Chuntao, Leng Rujing snorted with pride.

"That girl, I gave her a lesson yesterday, but I don't know if she has learned her lesson. Ye Zi, go get her."

"Yes, princess."

After Ye Zi finished her ceremony, she hurriedly left Nuan Yu Pavilion with a few maids and headed straight for the south row of houses.

At this time, Chuntao was lying on the bed recovering from her injuries. Ling Xiao brought her breakfast, but she only ate a few bites before putting it down.

All the servants in the mansion had gone to work, and she was the only one left in the south room. Although she was seriously injured, she felt much better after a night's rest and the medicine applied to her wounds by the princess last night. At least getting up and walking was no problem.

Just as she sat up from the bed and was about to go to Yanjing Palace to serve the princess, she saw Ye Zi and two maids walking in with angry faces.

When Ye Zi saw Chun Tao, she snorted coldly.

"Wow! Miss Chuntao is really strong. She just got beaten with a stick yesterday, and she can get up and walk today?"

Chun Tao snorted, rolled her eyes at Ye Zi, and asked coldly:

"What are you here for?"

Ye Zi folded her arms and curled her lips in disdain.

"You slave den, where do you think I want to come? Our princess invites you over."

"I'm not going. I'm going to Yanjing Palace to serve the princess."

"How dare you disobey the princess? You are so brave! It seems that I didn't give you enough punishment yesterday!"

After saying this, Ye Zi put her hands on her hips and instructed the two girls behind her:

"You two, take her to Nuanyu Pavilion. I'll see how many heads she has. She dares not to listen to the princess's words."

After receiving the order, the two girls stepped forward and unceremoniously lifted Chuntao up. Chuntao kept struggling.

"Let me go, let me go, I want to go find the princess."

"Looking for a princess? Hahaha, your princess is just a buried princess. She just has a title in Prince Yan's mansion. Why don't you look for our princess?"

After saying that, Ye Zi swung her arms and the two girls carried her out the door.

Chun Tao knew that she would inevitably be beaten again. Thinking of the scene when the princess applied medicine to her last night, she had a look of despair in her eyes...

When she was dragged to the Nuanyu Pavilion, she was thrown to the ground by the two maids without any explanation.

The old wounds on her body had not healed yet, and now she was dragged all the way. She felt as if her whole body was falling apart and in pain.

Looking at Chun Tao kneeling on the ground, Leng Rujing snorted contemptuously.

"Oh, the person following Princess Yan is indeed extraordinary. He just got beaten yesterday, but he looks so energetic today?"

Chuntao lowered her head and shook her head timidly.

"Princess Rujing, why did you call me here? What do you want me to do?"

"Order? How dare I give you an order? You are Princess Yan's person. However, I lost something today and I am upset. You happened to be here. Tell me the truth. Did you steal something from me yesterday?"

Seeing that Leng Rujing was about to wrongly accuse her, Chun Tao waved her hands vigorously.

"Princess, I don't know. I have never taken anything from you. I really haven't."

Leng Rujing didn't want to listen to her explanation at all. She winked at Ye Zi behind Chun Tao. Ye Zi stepped on her back and said sarcastically:

"I heard that your princess is very powerful and knows all kinds of moves. Didn't she teach you a few moves?"

Chuntao's back injury had not healed yet, and when Ye Zi stepped on her, she felt an piercing pain instantly.

She sobbed and begged for mercy.

"Princess, please spare me. How have I offended you? I will apologize to you. Please forgive me!"

Princess Rujing raised her head proudly without even looking at Chuntao.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaowan looked at Chuntao with pitiful eyes.

"Princess Rujing is the apple of the Emperor's and Concubine Rong's eye. There seem to be few people in the entire Pingyang Kingdom who dare to offend her. Moreover, she is a kind person who knows right from wrong. However, this is only limited to her own people. By the way, how about you also become one of her own people? I'll plead for her and ask her to forgive you?"

After hearing this, Chuntao knew why Princess Rujing called her here.

But the princess treated her like a sister, how could she betray the princess? Even if she said a word of apology to the princess, she would hate herself to death.

Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously and pleaded with tears in her voice:

"Princess, please spare my life. I am just a little girl and I have nothing. Please spare me, Princess!"

What she said made it very clear that she didn't want to betray Luo Nianxi.

Leng Rujing gritted her teeth and waved at Ye Zi.

"Yesterday, my jade pendant was lost. I've only been here for a day and I've lost something. This shows that the servants in Prince Yan's mansion are not honest. But after thinking it over, I think you are the most suspicious. If you don't discipline her, what will happen in the future? Ye Zi, beat her to death until she hands over the jade pendant."

Obviously, she wanted to frame Chuntao with a trumped-up charge. She wanted to beat Chuntao with justification and make her surrender.

Ye Zi pulled Chun Tao's collar directly, gritted her teeth and raised her hand, and with a "slap", she slapped her face hard...

"what……"

Chun Tao's wailing sounded in the Nuanyu Pavilion instantly...

……

After Luo Nianxi came out of Bao'an Hall, she said a few words to Ling Xiao and went straight to the south row of houses.

But Chuntao was not there. She asked a few maids, but no one knew where she had gone.

She stood at the door of the south row of houses with her hands on her hips, muttering to herself,

"Did this girl go out? Her injuries haven't healed yet, how could she go out and run around?"

At this moment, Shunzi, the servant of the mansion, came running over stealthily. After looking around, he whispered:

"Princess, Chuntao is in Nuanyu Pavilion, please go and save her!"

Leaving only these words, Shunzi did not dare to stay and walked away quickly.

Warm Jade Pavilion?

Hearing these three words, and seeing Shunzi's expression, Luo Nianxi guessed that Chuntao must be suffering again.

She did not dare to delay and ran quickly towards Nuanyu Pavilion.

She had very fast legs and was afraid that if she ran a step slower, Chuntao would suffer more.

Sure enough, when she arrived at Nuanyu Pavilion, she saw Ye Zi grabbing Chuntao by the collar and slapping her in the face.

"stop."
