Your Majesty! The prince of Qi is here to kidnap the little princess again!

"Father, I discovered a strange maid today. She has been following the Crown Prince carefully, but she is not the maid who stays with the Crown Prince. So I decided to stay in the Crown Prince's bedroom tonight. As I expected, this maid entered the bedroom while the Crown Prince was asleep and tried to climb onto his bed."

"How outrageous! A country chicken dreams of turning into a phoenix. How can a lowly maid like you be the Crown Princess?"

"Slave...slave..."

"Did I let you speak?!"

Soon, the news that the maid wanted to climb onto the prince's bed spread throughout the East Palace.

Cao Yuxi came to Zhenghua Palace angrily, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and slapped the maid.

"You lowly slave, who do you think you are? You dare to steal my position as Crown Princess!"

"This princess, I will smash your face today!"

Then, continuous applause broke out in Zhenghua Palace.

"I'll make you lose your sense of shame, make you lose your sense of the immensity of heaven and earth, and make you lose your sense of your own identity and status."

Zhao Qing couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene.

Cao Jingyun, who was standing by, thought that Zhao Qing was scared, so he hugged Zhao Qing in his arms and comforted her gently.

Zhao Qing - I was speechless. I was clearly thinking about why this woman wanted to be the Crown Princess, but this person mistakenly thought I was scared. I'm already nine years old, I'm not that timid.

"Brother Jingyun, you're hugging me too tightly, please let go."

Cao Jingyun let go of Zhao Qing awkwardly and coughed twice unnaturally.

"Okay, Qing'er, go back to bed quickly. Going to bed too late is not good for the child's health."

"Father, I am not sleepy."

"Why, you don't even listen to me now?"

Zhao Qing: “…”

--Okay, you are the boss, whatever you say goes.

"My son, please retire."

"Jingyun is leaving."

"Brother Jingyun, why don't you stay and accompany Sister Yuxi?"

"It's so late, I'm worried about you going back alone."

Zhao Qing: “…”

Zhao Qing - This huge palace is my home, how could there be any danger at home?

Although I complained in my heart, I didn't say it out loud.

By the time Zhao Jin arrived at Zhenghua Palace, the palace maid's face had been swollen by Cao Yuxi.

When Cao Yuxi saw Zhao Jin coming, she immediately changed into a pitiful look.

"Brother Jin...my hand hurts so much..."

Zhao Jin glared fiercely at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, then picked up Cao Yuxi's hand and blew on it.

The maid--she is indeed born in the royal family

"Jin'er, you can handle this matter."

"Yes."

After saying that, Zhao Yang went back behind the screen to rest.

Zhao Jin glanced coldly at the palace maid on the ground.

"Ling Si, take this maid to the prison and give her twenty lashes."

"Yes."

"Brother Jin, why don't you just execute her?"

"Because of Qing'er."

"Qing'er?"

"Yes, I know Qing'er very well. Once she finds out something, she will get to the bottom of it until she finds out the truth. So, we have to keep her alive."

"So, after we find out the truth, can we execute her?"

"Well, that's right."

"Great! I will get rid of anyone who seduces Brother Jin!"

"Okay, it's all up to you."
