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

Even though she knew Ye Zi was lying, Chun Tao still shook her head in fear.

"Princess, I didn't steal it. I really didn't steal it."

Luo Nianxi half-closed her eyes and looked at Ye Zi, then slowly walked towards her, scaring Ye Zi so much that she stepped back repeatedly.

She moved closer to her and whispered in her ear,

"If what you just said was a lie, you would become deaf or dumb."

After saying this, she took out a dose of medicine that could cause temporary tinnitus from the operating room without anyone noticing and injected it directly into her body.

Ye Zi only had time to let out an "ah" before she discovered with horror that she could hear nothing.

Luo Nianxi turned back to look at Leng Rujing again.

"Princess Rujing, you said Chuntao stole your jade pendant, so tell me, what does your jade pendant look like?"

Princess Rujing glanced at Ye Zi who was standing there with her eyes wide open, and replied with a mumbled voice:

"It's... it's... it's inlaid with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes..."

"Oh? That's not what Ye Zi said. She said there was a phoenix on the jade pendant..."

Leng Rujing frowned, then nodded as if suddenly realizing something.

"Yes, that is a phoenix. I have too many jade pendants and I can't remember them all at once. It is indeed a phoenix."

Seeing Leng Rujing change her mind so quickly, Luo Nianxi became even more certain that she was lying, or in other words, her jade pendant was not lost at all and she just wanted to frame Chuntao.

"Ye Zi also said that Chun Tao didn't take the jade pendant. She was tempted by the money and wanted to frame Chun Tao, so she hid the jade pendant..."

Hearing this, Ru Jing looked at Ye Zi in astonishment, pointing her finger at her and questioning,

"Are you telling the truth?"

As she said this, she winked at her vigorously, her eyes directed at Chuntao.

Ye Zi couldn't hear what they were saying at all. The inexplicable buzzing sound in her ears made her very annoyed, but from the princess's expression she guessed that the princess must be asking her if she really saw Chuntao stealing the jade pendant.

She hurriedly covered her ears with her hands and nodded continuously.

"Yes Yes……"

Seeing her nod and admit it, Ru Jing's face turned pale. She took two steps forward, raised her hand, and slapped Ye Zi in the face.

Ye Zi was beaten by her without knowing why, while Luo Nianxi took advantage of the victory and pursued her.

"If Princess Rujing's jade pendant was lost in the palace, I wouldn't care. But this jade pendant was lost in Prince Yan's mansion, so I have to take care of it."

At this point, she instructed the servants who were lying at the entrance of Nuanyu Pavilion watching the excitement:

"Someone, there's a thief in Prince Yan's mansion, go report it to the authorities..."

As soon as she said this, Leng Rujing's face turned pale. She was the one who framed her in this matter. If it really came to Shuntian Prefecture, she would have no way to end it.

Thinking of this, she winked at Mo Xiaowan, and Mo Xiaowan hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Princess Yan, calm down. Now that the facts have been clarified, why should we report this to the government? It will only bring disgrace to your Yan Palace. How about this? Ye Zi has already admitted that she stole Princess Rujing's jade pendant, and she is Princess Rujing's maid, so let Princess Rujing solve it herself!"

"No."

Luo Nianxi raised her eyebrows slightly and refused immediately.

"Chun Tao was beaten for no reason. If the matter is resolved like this, it would be unfair to her."

Leng Rujing bit her lip and stood there for a while, then raised her head with a guilty look.

"It's Ye Zi's fault that she framed Chun Tao. At worst, she can just let Chun Tao fight back the way she beat her. Isn't that right?"

A gleam of contempt flashed in the corner of Luo Nianxi's eyes. This was exactly the result she wanted.

The grievances Chuntao suffered must not be allowed to be in vain.

She immediately looked at Chuntao, half-closed her eyes, and gave her a hateful look.

"Okay, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. Chuntao, did you hear what Princess Rujing said? No matter how wronged you have been, no matter how much you feel wronged, just fight back."

Chuntao looked at her timidly, as if she didn't dare to do it.

Ye Zi covered her ears with her hands. She could only see everyone's lips moving. She had no idea what they were talking about. She didn't dare to ask, for she was afraid that she really became deaf because she lied.

Her world was very quiet and she shook her head vigorously with fear in her eyes.

"Come here, serve tea. I am free today, so I will have a cup of tea with the princess and Miss Xiaowan."

The servant who was watching the excitement at the entrance of Nuanyu Pavilion saw this and hurriedly ran in with tea. Chuntao also got up from the ground. At the same time, Luo Nianxi said:

"Princess, have your people hold Dian Ye Zi hostage. If she dares to fight back, I will not be lenient with her."

Princess Rujing looked at Ye Zi who covered her ears with her hands, and waved her hands at the two maids beside her in disappointment. The two maids stepped forward and pressed her to the ground.

Ye Zi looked at Princess Rujing at a loss. Seeing her ugly face, she was afraid that others could not hear her, so she shouted loudly:

"Princess, Princess, what are they going to do?"

Leng Rujing pointed at her angrily.

"This princess is not deaf, you don't have to be so loud."

After saying that, she waved her hands in anger. Chuntao also seemed to have made a great decision. She gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Zi, then walked up to her step by step.

"Crack...crack...crack..."

The leaves were hit one after another, feeling confused.

She wanted to break free, but the two girls behind her held her arms tightly, preventing her from moving.

"Princess, save me...Princess, save me..."

Ye Zi's cry for help echoed in Nuan Yu Pavilion. Leng Rujing's face turned pale, but she just focused on drinking the tea in her hand without even looking at her.

Luo Nianxi smiled, she sipped her tea and said calmly:

"Even Princess Rujing has people with dirty hands and feet around her. It seems that this princess and the Prince Yan's Mansion must also take it seriously."

After saying this, she looked at Aunt Liu who was hiding on the side with her head bowed low.

"Madame Liu, go inform the servants in the mansion to go to the front yard. This princess has something to tell you."

Nanny Liu always thought that there were too many people here and Luo Nianxi didn't notice her, but she didn't expect that she still saw her.

She was afraid that Luo Nianxi would see through her thoughts, so she stepped forward to salute with a guilty conscience.

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

Of course Luo Nianxi knew what kind of person she was. From the moment she entered the yard, she had noticed Aunt Liu who wanted to stick her head into her crotch. She did not ask her why she appeared in Nuanyu Pavilion, but just wanted her to see in person the consequences of disobeying her as the princess and trying to go against her.

Chuntao used all her strength and did not stop until Ye Zi vomited blood.

Seeing Ye Zi's embarrassed look, Leng Rujing dug her fingers into her palm in hatred. Although she didn't know why Ye Zi suddenly admitted that she was the one who stole the jade pendant, she secretly swore in her heart that she would avenge Ye Zi.

As soon as Luo Nianxi took Chuntao away from Nuanyu Pavilion, Ye Zi fainted. Although Leng Rujing was angry, she still ordered someone to call a doctor to treat her injuries because she was her most capable maid.

Walking on the road to the main courtyard, Chuntao couldn't help but ask in a low voice,

"Princess, how did you manage to get Ye Zi to admit this?"
