The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"I didn't expect it. Mianmian's body was covered in wounds. There were large bruises on her back, needle marks on her arms and calves, and bruises on her chest that looked like she had been pinched. Even her butt was bruised."

Zhuxi squatted down and rolled up her sleeves to her arms, "Her Majesty, please look."

Gu Jianchu squatted down and looked carefully at the chest on Mianmian's arm, then unbuttoned Mianmian's shirt, and with a slight pull, the pinch marks on the shoulder and neck were exposed. Then Zhuxi pulled the clothes back, revealing the bruises on the back.

The bruises looked a bit scary, as if they had been there for a while.

Gu Jianchu's expression instantly turned cold. "These methods are not even used by those people in the palace, but they are used on such a big child. What a sinister intention."

Gu Jianchu said this angrily while rearranging Mianmian's clothes, his eyes falling on the father and mother standing behind him.

Tang Ming, like everyone else, was shocked. On the contrary, Zhang was so guilty that even her legs were shaking.

Tang Ming immediately looked at Zhang, "What happened to those injuries on Mianmian's body?"

Zhang glared at Mianmian fiercely and raised her voice, "How should I know? Although I watch over Mianmian all day, there are still so many chores to do at home. I can't watch over Mianmian all the time. Mianmian is very naughty at this age. Maybe she went out to play and accidentally fell, and she didn't dare to tell me."

Tang Ming had hardly taken care of Mianmian since she was born. After hearing what Zhang said, he couldn't help but start to waver. After all, Mianmian was sometimes naughty, and Zhang usually took very good care of her.

Gu Jianchu didn't believe a single word of Zhang's explanation.

She squatted down and held Mianmian's arm, her face gentle, and asked gently, "Mianmian, tell me how these injuries on your body came about, and I will help you."

Tang Mianmian stared at Gu Jianchu, wanting to confirm whether Gu Jianchu would really help her make the decision. If Gu Jianchu could not help her make the decision, she would definitely be beaten when she returned.

Zhuxi also noticed Mianmian's concerns and whispered, "The Queen is a fairy in heaven, specializing in those bad guys. If there are bad guys, just tell us, the Queen, and we will take them away. Mianmian can tell the Queen who hurt you, and the Queen will definitely help you. But if Mianmian doesn't tell us, the Queen will have no way to help you punish the bad guys."

Unexpectedly, the two palace maids around her had learned to be so smooth-talking.

Tang Mianmian tugged at her sleeve and said boldly, "The Empress is my mother. She often beats me when my father is not at home. Whenever she is unhappy, she will prick me with a needle, pinch me, kick me to the ground, and often not give me food and make me do all kinds of rough work."

"Then what's the matter with the injury on your back?" Gu Jianchu asked softly.

She saw that the wounds on Mianmian's back didn't look like they were caused by a beating.

If he was beaten, it would have taken a very large weapon, or even a shovel, to cause such a wound.

Mianmian took a cautious look at Zhang, whose eyes were almost popping out of her head. "The wound on my back was caused by me accidentally falling. My mother asked me to feed the pigs, and I accidentally slipped and fell on a rock."

Hearing this, Tang Ming angrily slapped Zhang in the face, "It's really you, didn't you say that those injuries were caused by Mianmian falling?"

"She fell down by herself. Mother Mianmian has taken care of you all this time. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. You can't lie to your mother and wrongly accuse her." Zhang covered the red half of her face, stepped forward, grabbed Tang Mianmian's hand, and couldn't help but question her.

Tang Mianmian's pupils shrank in fear.

Yunhe stepped forward and immediately pulled Zhang aside, holding her shoulders with his hands, making it impossible for Zhang to move.

Tang Mianmian was so frightened that she hid behind Gu Jianchu. Gu Jianchu stood up and looked at Zhang with a cold face. He exuded the powerful aura of a superior. "Mianmian is just a child. Can she lie to others?"

"The Queen doesn't have any children, so I'm afraid you don't know that children sometimes like to lie..."

Zhang was halfway through her words when Zhu Xia slapped her across the face. "What nonsense are you talking about? You actually dared to curse the Empress to have no children. You're courting death."

Zhang immediately realized she had said the wrong thing. She plopped to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was careless and said the wrong thing. I just wanted to say that children sometimes tell lies and wrongly accuse adults."

Hearing Zhang's words, Tang Mianmian immediately ran forward and grabbed the corner of Gu Jianchu's clothes, "Empress Mianmian did not lie. Everything Mianmian said is true. The injuries on my body were really caused by this bad woman."

Gu Jianchu rubbed Mianmian's two little tufts and said gently, "The bruises on her back can be said to be caused by Mianmian falling, but these puncture wounds on her arms and legs, could it be that Mianmian also punctured them herself out of boredom?"

"Mrs. Zhang, I will give you one last chance. Will you be honest and treat me well, or do you want to confess after being punished? There are many punishments for people in the palace, so I'm not afraid that you won't confess." Gu Jianchu said something very dangerous in a gentle voice.

Zhang's eyes rolled around a few times, her body curled up into a ball and she spoke truthfully, "I confess, I confess everything. I was the one who injured Mianmian. Tang Ming married me home but never touched me, leaving me alone every day. I later realized that Tang Ming's fundamental purpose was to have me take care of Mianmian and use me as a free nanny. Later, whenever I was unhappy, I would teach Mianmian a lesson. Queen, I know I was wrong, but Tang Ming is the culprit of all this. If he hadn't wanted me to be a free nanny, or if he had been nicer to me, I would never have done such a thing."

Xie Qingzhi said angrily, "If that bastard treats you badly, you can just divorce him. There's no need to vent all your anger on a little girl. Even if you don't divorce him, you can still torment that bastard. It's really cowardly to torment a little girl."

"I really believed you, but I didn't expect you to treat Mianmian like this." Tang Ming stepped forward and kicked Zhang.

Following Gu Jianchu's glance, Chongfeng immediately stepped forward and controlled Tang Ming.

[Tsk tsk tsk, Tang Ming isn't a good guy either. He usually doesn't care about his daughter. He was one of the culprits when his daughter was bullied by Zhang. Now that he's exposed Zhang's faults, he comes out to play the role of a loving father.]
