Humph! She usually enters the palace as arrogant as a peacock. Last time at the Hundred Days Banquet, she wanted to be the little princess' aunt and even pulled out a lock of the little princess' hair!

Bah! Don't you see what you are? She has been putting up with Xu Qingqing for a long time, and today she finally got the chance to get some points back for the little princess...

Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she bit her back teeth and said: "Thank you for your reminder, auntie. I know I was wrong! But the powder really has nothing to do with me..."

Su Yun was not polite and said, "At the palace, Miss Xu said that you used the powder to nourish your body, but now you have changed your excuse in front of the queen. It's obvious that she has something to hide!"

Jiang Wanqing lowered her head and teased the little girl in her arms. Without raising her head, she said, "Isn't there another person? Send them to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation... If your mouth is harder than the torture instruments of the Ministry of Punishment, I will believe you for now!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and four eunuchs grabbed Xu Qingqing and Xiao Zi's arms.

Xiao Zi shrank back in fear. If she entered the Ministry of Punishment, even if she could walk out alive, she would be a useless person. She didn't want to become a useless person!

Xiao Zi knocked her head against the ground, begging for mercy: "My lady, I was forced to do this... It was the young lady... The young lady was jealous of the little master in the princess' belly, so she asked me to borrow the medicine jar and boil the poison water for seven days before sending it back... In this way, the princess can be poisoned without anyone knowing..."

Xu Qingqing looked at Xiao Zi with bloodshot eyes. This bitch! How dare she betray her!

With a dull "bang", the hot water bottle in Princess Xiaoyao's hand fell to the ground, and she was helped to walk out from behind the screen.

She looked at Xu Qingqing intently for twice, then walked straight towards Xu Qingqing.

Princess Xiaoyao raised her hand and used all her strength to slap Xu Qingqing's cheek.

She was so blind and heartless that the emperor should have beaten Xu Qingqing to death that day!

She saved such a vicious person out of weakness. If it weren't for the little princess and the baby in her belly, she would have died by now!

"I never thought that I would keep an ungrateful person by my side every day! Ask yourself, how have I ever done anything wrong to you? How could you hurt me like this?" Princess Xiaoyao pointed at her and asked harshly.

Xu Qingqing's cheeks were swollen. Seeing that she was exposed, she simply stopped defending herself.

She sneered and looked at Princess Xiaoyao with hatred: "How have you done me wrong? What have I eaten in the palace all these years? I have been treated like a master who is not a master and a maid who is not a maid! It is you, a bitch, who has taken away my brother's love for me. As soon as you came, he threw me to you. I wish you would die and go to hell with the evil child in your belly!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Xiaoyao took a step back in shock, pointed at Xu Qingqing and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Wanqing looked at Xu Qingqing coldly and ordered: "She is just an ungrateful person who can never be fed. Drag her out and beat her to death along with her maidservant!"

When Xu Qingqing was dragged out, she was still shouting that Princess Xiaoyao would soon go to the underground to accompany her.

Soon, the dull sound of a board hitting flesh was heard outside the hall, and Xu Qingqing changed from cursing and swearing at the beginning to begging for mercy in pain.

Soon, a young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the person is no longer alive..."

Jiang Wanqing waved her hand: "I understand, go and deal with it!"

Princess Xiaoyao could no longer bear the shock and she closed her eyes and fainted.

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at the princess quickly~" Jiang Wanqing's face was full of worry.

After taking the princess' pulse, Imperial Physician Wang discovered that she had fainted due to stimulation, and prescribed a few tranquilizing soups.

Jiang Wanqing then had Princess Xiaoyao sent back to the palace and instructed people to take good care of her.

Xiao Baozhu had slept for several hours in Jiang Wanqing's arms. When she woke up, she heard Suyun whispering something.

"My queen, Xu Qingqing is the adopted sister of King Xiaoyao after all, why didn't you tell him?"

Jiang Wanqing sneered and said, "Such a vicious person should have been beaten to death long ago. If Prince Xiaoyao has a rift with the princess, then he is really unworthy of being a husband and a father! I am her sister-in-law and the queen. Do I have to report to him before executing someone?"

Seeing that she was still angry, Suyun had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty is right. The princess almost lost her life today~"

Xiao Baozhu stretched out her little hands to rub her eyes, and called out "Nang" in a baby voice.

Jiang Wanqing immediately put on a gentle smile and looked at the little baby in her arms.

Or her beads are cute and lovely~

The mother and daughter played for a while and then it was time for dinner. The meal was already placed on the table.

Jiang Wanqing sat at the table and handed the bottle to her little girl. Then she looked at Biyue and asked, "Why hasn't the emperor come back today? Go ask..."

When Bi Yue hurried to the imperial study, she saw Qin Bao standing in front of the door.

At this time, Qin Bao also saw Bi Yue and hurried over to ask: "Miss Bi Yue, why are you here at this hour? Does the Queen have any instructions?"

Bi Yue nodded: "Her Majesty asked me to ask where the Emperor would like to have his dinner?"

Qin Bao glanced at the closed door and whispered: "The emperor is angry right now. I'm afraid we will have dinner here. Go back quickly, girl..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the imperial study, followed by a roar: "Asshole!"

Bi Yue shrank back in fear and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Why is the emperor so angry?"

Qin Bao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side. He said in a low voice: "Lord Liukong sent a message back today saying that the Fourth Prince encountered a cannibalistic bandit. Only the carriage that the Fourth Prince was riding in was found. The Fourth Prince...is missing!"

Bi Yue's face lost all color. She looked at Qin Bao in astonishment and asked in a trembling voice: "The man-eating bandit? His whereabouts are unknown?"

Qin Bao nodded, and Bi Yue's body suddenly collapsed. Qin Bao quickly supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

Biyue felt like her brain was about to explode. She pushed Qin Bao away and stumbled towards Fengyi Palace.

Because my legs were weak and I ran too fast, I don't know how many times I fell on the road.

When she returned to Fengyi Palace, her face and hands were red and swollen, and her clothes were covered with dust.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Wanqing stood up and walked up to her and asked, "Biyue, what's wrong with you?"

Biyue looked at Jiang Wanqing in a daze and burst into tears.

Jiang Wanqing quickly helped her sit down, patted her back gently, and asked softly: "Who bullied you? Who in the palace dared to bully the head maid of Fengyi Palace? Just tell me, I will support you!"

Bi Yue sobbed and shook her head, the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything about the Fourth Prince's whereabouts being unknown.

Su Yun looked at Bi Yue's appearance, and Ban Xia looked at Bi Yue's crying appearance. They rolled up their sleeves angrily and were about to rush out: "I want to go and ask who dares to bully Bi Yue!"

"The Fourth Prince encountered a man-eating villain... and his whereabouts are still unknown..." Bi Yue roared with her eyes closed.
