"You must not let the other party get any evidence against you now, so you must not keep this child." Princess Southwest advised her son earnestly, but she looked at Xiaoxiao with a fierce look.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of how the Princess of Southwest treated those women who were pregnant or had slept with by the King of Southwest when she was in the palace before.

A bad premonition arose in my heart.

She quickly grasped at the last straw in her life, "Your Highness, this cannot happen. This child is absolutely not something that can be used against others. Before you get married, I will never let the Crown Princess know about this child, let alone my existence."

"Please, Princess, spare my life." Xiaoxiao also felt that he was impulsive. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Princess Southwest. His forehead hit the stone, leaving a bright red mark.

The Princess of the Southwest is definitely not as easy to talk to as the Crown Prince.

After hearing what her mother said, Yanxu showed an expression of hesitation and struggle.

[Ugh, Yan Xu, if he had tried to protect the maid and the child, I would have thought he was quite responsible. But after being persuaded by the Princess of Southwest, he actually agreed to let the maid abort the child, fearing that the child would delay his marriage to the noble lady of the capital.]

[The Southwest Prince's Palace has done so many evil things that the negative energy must be very strong.]

[Whether it's my elder sister or any other woman, no one can be bullied by a scumbag like Yan Xu. The Southwest Prince's Mansion is a huge pit of hell. Things have come to this point, and it's my turn to intervene. I'm a very kind person.]

Gu Jianchu turned to look at the emperor beside him, "Your Majesty, I have drunk a little too much and want to go out for some fresh air."

Knowing what the Queen was going to do, Xie Ci'an was about to say that he would go with the Queen, but the King of the Southwest didn't give him a chance and came over to ask for a drink with him.

Now is not the time to fall out with the King of the Southwest. Both of them are toasting each other with their own thoughts.

After finishing his drink, Xie Ci'an looked at Gu Jianyue and said, "The Queen is a little drunk. I am worried about her going out on her own. I would like to trouble Miss Gu and Consort Wen to accompany her for me."

When Gu Jianyue heard this, she felt that the emperor was really good to her sister.

Just like how daddy treats mom.

As for Wen Zhaoyi, she had seen it so many times that she was used to it.

The two of them accompanied Gu Jianchu to the Imperial Garden.

Today, the Imperial Garden is full of blooming flowers, and even the air is filled with a faint sweet fragrance.

Gu Jianchu intentionally guided his elder sister and Wen Zhaoyi to the place where the incident occurred.

Before I got close, I heard faint sobbing coming from not far away.

Wen Zhaoyi was the first to speak, "Who's crying over there? Your Majesty, should we go over and take a look?"

No matter how good Gu Jianchu is to his subordinates, there are still cases in the palace where masters bully their servants, and servants of higher positions will also bully those of lower positions.

Gu Jianyue didn't think much about it. She just thought that the servant was bullied and was hiding behind and crying secretly. She didn't stop Wen Zhaoyi's suggestion.

After Gu Jianchu agreed, Wen Zhaoyi took the lead and walked forward. When she stepped into the rockery, she saw two maids carrying another little girl. Wen Zhaoyi had seen that little girl yesterday. She was Yanran's personal maid.

The little maid was held by two personal servants beside Princess Wang. No matter how she struggled, she could not break free from their hands. Yan Xu was slowly approaching the little maid with a pill in her hand.

The little maid was so frightened that she kept shaking her head, "No, no, this is our child."

Yan Xu felt soft-hearted when she saw the little maid's tearful eyes, but thinking of her mother's words, she strode forward, pinched the little maid's mouth, and was about to stuff the pill into her mouth.

[Damn, this Princess of the Southwest is definitely an expert at abortions. She even carries contraceptives and abortion pills with her. The reason is that the Prince of the Southwest likes to have affairs with many women, and to eliminate the potential problems, she gives them these two pills. She even has the court doctor make them into pills for portability.]

Just as Yan Xu was about to force the pill down the little maid's throat, Wen Zhaoyi spoke up in time, "What are you doing?"

Several people were startled by the sudden sound, especially Yan Xu, whose face instantly turned ugly and her fingers couldn't help shaking because of panic.

The little maid took the opportunity to cough out the medicine that was stuffed into her mouth, and her little face turned red because of coughing.

Compared to Yan Xu's panic at having done something wrong, the Princess of the Southwest seemed much calmer. "Your Majesty, this little girl is my daughter's personal maid, but she is not disciplined and stole my daughter's gold hairpin. I was just ordering a body search when Your Majesty happened to see her."

[I've done so many bad things that I can tell lies without blushing or feeling any nervousness.]

She had been flirting with Gu Jianyue at the banquet before, but now, feeling guilty, she didn't dare to look at her at all. She lowered her head and agreed, "Yes, we are searching for your sister's gold hairpin."

"is it?"

"My Lord, it would be very inconvenient for a grown man to search my body. Do you want my help?" Gu Jianchu's gentle gaze fell on the restrained little maid.

She only knew these things through the melon-eating system and could not provide any solid evidence. Now it would be best if the little maid could come forward and speak in person, so that Yan Xu's hypocritical face could be exposed.

Princess Xi Nan responded quickly, "Such a shameful thing has happened in the palace. There is no need to trouble Her Majesty. I will take the person back and deal with it myself."

The Princess of the Southwest had planned for today for a long time, and she would never let anyone ruin it.

Gu Jianchu glanced at Yunhe.

Yun He quickly stepped forward and picked up the pill that the maid had spit out. "What is this? Could it be that the princess needs to use drugs to control the prisoners when interrogating them? I remember that the Imperial City Bureau has such a method."

The Princess of the Southwest didn't expect that she didn't get rid of the little bitch and was almost exposed.

She looked at Yan Xu with a warning look in her eyes, "I don't know what this thing is. Maybe this little bitch saw that the matter was exposed and was afraid that I would hold her accountable, so she wanted to end it by committing suicide."

"You have a very bad temper. Why did you have to steal the owner's things when you could do something else? It's just theft, not a capital crime. The emperor has always advocated leniency. Princess, don't forget the emperor's advice." After saying this, Gu Jianchu stopped caring about the matter and was about to leave with his men.

If Princess Southwest didn't really know how many people Xie Ci'an had killed after he ascended the throne, she would have almost believed it.

The little maid was a smart person. She knew that if she followed the princess back at this point, she would surely die. Now she might still have a chance to survive. She struggled desperately and shouted at Gu Jianchu's disappearing figure, "Please, Queen, save this slave. I really don't want to die."

The Southwest Princess was instantly frightened and her alarm bells rang. She slapped the little maid's face, leaving a clear slap mark. She said in a sinister voice, "I think you are seeking death."
