My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

The five people lying on the ground all lowered their heads again.

Although they were the prince's people before, since the prince has already given their indentures to the princess, they can only obey the orders of the princess.

Being loyal to only one master is the minimum professional quality for a secret guard.

"Every word that the princess said just now is reasonable. We have no excuse to shirk responsibility and are willing to accept any punishment." Wen Jia was ashamed. "What happened tonight was all my fault. I asked them to leave the palace after receiving the order from the prince. Please punish one of my subordinates."

"Hmph, you deserve to be punished, but they are not exempt from responsibility!" Mei Xueer stood up with a cold face.

Although she didn't know martial arts, the domineering aura she exuded shocked everyone.

Mei Xueer turned to look at Nan Xing, "Go and inform the prince, and tell him that I will enforce my family rules on these five secret guards. If he feels bad, he can shamelessly come and make trouble. Tonight, I, Mei Xueer, will accompany you to the end!"

"Yes, I'll be there right away." Nanxing stepped back with tears in her eyes.

She was so worried about her young lady that she would do anything as long as it made her feel better.

Having done all this for the young lady, she will go and receive the punishment.

A, B, C, D, and E did not dare to raise their heads. They were all filled with shame. No matter how the princess punished them, even if she took their lives, or crippled them and sold them as slaves, they would not feel the slightest resentment.

They knew they were extremely wrong. Although they understood that they were now the princess's men and the prince was a thing of the past, their habitual obedience to Prince Jing over the years caused them to collectively make a big mistake tonight.

Although no one knew what happened in Qingfeng Garden after they left, it was clear that the princess must have suffered great injustice and injury, and was extremely angry.

At this moment, Jianxian Pavilion.

Cui Hongjing's face turned red and white.

Zhuang Xiang kept scolding him, "Your Majesty, I'm not saying anything bad, but you are too impatient. I was just going out for a while, why did you go to Qingfeng Garden? Your legs can't walk."

Cui Hongjing: …

"If you think about it a little more, you will find that something is wrong. Sigh... Besides, don't you know how stupid and foolish Wen Bing is after all these years?"

In fact, Cui Hongjing regretted it as soon as he returned to Jianxian Pavilion.

Zhuang Xiang’s analysis was correct. Regardless of whether the discharge from Mei Xueer’s body on the wedding night was vaginal discharge or spotting, it was enough to prove that she was not pregnant at the time.

And since she married into the palace, her every move was under his control at all times. She had no chance at all to cheat on him, let alone have a bastard.

He just had a preconceived notion about Mei Xue'er, thinking that she was a piece of trash and was sent by the prince to humiliate him and monitor her.

So, when he heard Wen Bing excitedly say that the princess was pregnant, he didn't know why, but blood immediately rushed to his brain. He was unable to analyze rationally and concluded that she had given him a grassland.

Cui Hongjing felt secretly regretful, but he couldn't bring himself to admit that he was wrong.

"It's just an abortion pill. If she doesn't get pregnant, it won't do much harm to her body. Besides, she is a doctor, so it doesn't matter!" His voice got lower and lower.

"Your Highness, whether this medicine is harmful to the body is not the key point. The key point is what you did tonight. It is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting!" Zhuang Xiang did not want to speak for him. "You also took away her secret guards. Since you gave Wen Jia and others to the princess, they are her people."

Cui Hongjing glanced at him and said, "Don't I know this? Why do you insist on telling me?"

Zhuang Xiang shrank his neck and secretly glanced at his master, "I know that you are also very angry. Or maybe the prince himself has not realized that deep down in his heart, the prince cares about the princess, so he is so angry..."

“Nonsense!” Cui Hongjing was shocked and interrupted him without any confidence, “Why would I care about a piece of junk?! I just don’t want to be criticized behind my back, I just…”

He himself could not come up with any excuse.

Zhuang Xiang raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Well, in short, don't expect the princess to treat you in the future..."

"What do you want me to do now?" Cui Hongjing wanted to slap him. "Are you asking me to kneel down and apologize to her? Humph!"

"No need to apologize. My lady can't bear it." Nanxing stepped on the fallen leaves and walked into Jianxian Pavilion.

She bowed perfunctorily, "My mistress ordered me to inform the prince that those disloyal secret guards will be severely punished and will be made to suffer a fate worse than death. Remember this lesson, or cripple them and sell them off. If the prince is distressed, he can go to Qingfeng Garden now and ask the princess to show mercy."

After Nanxing finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for Cui Hongjing to answer.

After walking a few steps, she stopped and added without looking back, "By the way, my young lady also said that she will never let go of what happened tonight. If the prince has any other tricks, you might as well use them all. My young lady will accompany you to the end!"

Cui Hongjing's chest was heaving violently. Although Wen Jia and the other five people didn't seem to be very smart, they were the group of his secret guards who had followed him through life and death the most times. Because this group of secret guards was particularly loyal, he was able to transfer them all away tonight.

He knew that they obeyed his orders because of their past friendship with their former master.

And now, because of his momentary impulse, they will suffer a sudden disaster.

How can he sit still?

Zhuang Xiang held Cui Hongjing down and shook his head gently. "The princess is angry right now. If you go to save them now, not only will you fail to save them, but it will also make the princess even angrier and make the five of them suffer more."

Cui Hongjing regretted it so much.

Go, he is not right.

If he doesn't go, he will feel uneasy.

"Zhuang Xiang." After a long while, he said, "Wait a moment, when the princess has calmed down, go over and give them some medicine for their injuries. By the way, give the princess some tonic medicine as well."

Zhuang Xiang sighed and went to prepare medicine. He walked a few steps and turned back, "Your Highness, I have offended you today. I have a few more words to say. Please don't be offended. When the late emperor was still alive, he said that your biggest shortcoming since childhood was that you were easily impulsive. If you really listened to the late emperor's words, your face would not be like this. Isn't this lesson deep enough?"

That night two years ago left him with an indelible scar. It was indeed a bloody lesson.

After that, he always thought that he had slowly learned to stay calm and forbearing. But ever since Mei Xueer entered the palace, he felt that his bottom line of tolerance was challenged again and again.

This time, he was probably just looking for a reason to explode after enduring for a long time.

That woman always managed to ignite his anger for no reason.

If she treats his injuries, he will think she has ulterior motives and he will get angry.

When she talked to him, he would feel that she was always mocking him and he would get angry.

If she ignores him, he will feel that she doesn't take him seriously at all and he will get angry.

She lives a comfortable life in Qingfeng, and he would feel that he, a prince, is dispensable, and he would be angry.

She made the Queen and the Crown Princess sick with anger, and he felt that he had been humiliated and wanted this woman to vent his anger, so he got angry again.

Of course he would be even more angry if she cheated on him.

In short, no matter what she does, he will be angry!

This woman was like a spark that could easily ignite the fuse of the explosive pack in his body.

Damn woman!

"Given your character, if you have really believed in your heart that the princess is a piece of shit for so long...what, and don't care about her at all, you wouldn't always be angry with her?" Zhuang Xiang said this and went out.

It was already dawn when Zhuang Xiang arrived at Qingfeng Garden.

In the yard, Wen Jia and five others were lying on the ground, wearing only their inner clothes. Their skin was red from the cold and they were shivering.

In front of the door, Mei Xueer sat upright, warming herself by the fire, applying a cold cotton towel to her face, eating boiling pork intestines in the pot, and looking at Zhuang Xiang who was standing at the door.

"Princess!" Zhuang Xiang didn't dare to look up. He felt ashamed for his own prince.

"Why, the prince asked you to rescue them?" Mei Xueer sneered, "But it seems that the medicine in your hand is not effective."

Zhuang Xiang's hands trembled slightly. It seemed that these medicines were indeed ineffective. Because these five people had no skin injuries at all, they did not need any medicine.

"I'm a woman. I don't know how to fight or kill. I only know how to use medicine. So, I let them take some medicine. This medicine is nothing to be afraid of. It just makes people feel like they are falling into an ice cellar and they feel like they are going to be frozen to death. After two hours, they will feel as if their bones are being broken and crushed, and they will feel so painful that they want to die... However, the pain will last for two hours, and then it will be fine. So, you should take your medicine back and let your master enjoy it!"

Zhuang Xiang shamelessly stayed put, "Princess, the prince has realized that he has wronged you. He has ordered his subordinates to bring you some tonic medicine."

"Haha, tonic?" Mei Xueer laughed, "I am a doctor myself, do I still need the prince to give me tonic? Take it back together, so that I won't feel sick when I see it."

Zhuang Xiang hesitated for a moment and had to retreat.

Mei Xueer looked at A, B, C, D, and E, whose lips had turned purple from the cold, and said, "You all saw it. The prince still cares about you. I am not unkind. I can give you one chance. After the effect of the medicine wears off, if you want to return to the prince, I will grant you your wish and return the indenture contract to the prince. If you are willing to stay, I can also pretend that what happened today never happened. But remember, you can only make such a mistake once. There will definitely not be a next time! Absolutely not!"

She paused, and her tone became even more stern. "I'm going to make it clear in advance. If you want to stay, you must follow my rules and be loyal to me alone. If you do your job well, my promise to return your indentures to you will still be valid. If you still want to tip off others and play both sides, you can't expect to save your life even if you pray to God!"

After saying that, she yawned and prepared to go back to her room to catch up on some sleep.

After a whole night of hard work, I'm really tired.

As soon as she entered the room, Nanxing knelt on the ground and cried, "Miss, this is all my fault. Please punish me."

Mei Xueer climbed onto the bed, propped up her head with one hand, and lazily looked at Nanxing on the ground, "Wen Bing also made an unintentional mistake. I believe he had no ill intentions, but what was the result? Similarly, you also made an unintentional mistake... Therefore, you must be more careful in what you say and do in the future. Get up, I can't bear to punish you."

"Miss..." Nanxing cried even harder, "If you don't punish me, I will feel guilty."

"Alright, then I'll punish you by making me a pig intestine feast by not sleeping today."

"Miss?"

"Go and accept your punishment!"

Nan Xing wiped the tears from her face, stood up sobbing, hung up the clothes that Mei Xueer had taken off, and covered her with a quilt. Then, with red eyes, she gently closed the door from the outside.

The young lady treated her so well that she could never repay her in her lifetime.
