The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian walked in slowly, followed by palace maids.

He stood calmly in the hall, his expression reserved. "Grandmother, I can testify that Second Brother's ill intentions are a fact. I, my uncle, and the palace attendants around him witnessed it with our own eyes."

After Xiao Chengnian finished speaking, the palace maids behind him immediately bowed and knelt, and told him frankly what they had seen and heard in the pavilion.

When the emperor heard Su Yuejian slap Xiao Chengnian, he was slightly stunned.

The Queen Mother frowned even more upon hearing this. She never expected that Xiao Chengchang would actually do such an improper act!

Xiao Chengnian said, "Father, what the Second Royal Brother did was indeed immoral, and it is understandable that the Imperial Uncle is furious."

Concubine Ru was still kneeling on the ground, her chest heaving violently with anger, her face flushed red, and her nails almost digging into her palms.

Although the anger in her heart surged like raging waves, she could not vent it.

She lowered her head with red eyes. What made her angry was not only that Xiao Heng had crippled Xiao Chengchang's legs, but also that she was angry at Xiao Chengchang's reckless behavior!

She had clearly warned him many times before, telling him not to think about Su Yuejian anymore! !

Why wouldn't he listen!!! And why did he have to do something like this at the palace banquet!!

Ru Fei was just thinking about it when the emperor's angry voice sounded above her head, "Where is that rebellious son?"

A palace servant stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Gong has fainted from the pain of a broken leg. The palace servants have carried him to a side hall, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already called in the imperial physician to see him."

The emperor looked stern and remained silent.

Everyone was discussing it heatedly, quietly condemning Xiao Chengchang's immoral behavior.

Qin Yuyan sat in a daze. How could Su Yuejian be in a pavilion by the lake, and how could she meet Prince Gong?

What about the people she arranged?

Qin Yuyan glanced at the empty seat of Shen Wenshu above her, and her frown relaxed slightly.

Even if Su Yuejian was lucky, as long as something happened to Shen Wenshu, she would still have hope of becoming the Crown Princess.

Once Shen Wenshu loses her innocence, Su Yuejian will have no chance of being clean either!

Qin Yuyan thought secretly, a light flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand to drink the wine in the glass.

As soon as she drank the wine, she felt dizzy and everything in front of her became blurry. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

The maid beside her immediately stepped forward to support her shaking body.

"Miss, you are drunk. I will take you to get some fresh air to sober you up."

Qin Yuyan looked up when she heard the voice, and the figure of the maid in front of her became shadowy.

Her body seemed to be out of control and she refused to obey any orders, so she allowed the maid to help her out of the hall.

On the high platform, Concubine Ru was still crying and protesting her injustice, but the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were no longer willing to listen to her explanation.

At this time, Dean Wen came back to reply after examining Xiao Chengchang.

Ru Fei asked anxiously, "My Chang'er, how is he?"

Dean Wen frowned and paused before saying, "His Royal Highness Prince Gong's right leg bones are all broken and shattered. I am an old minister and I am incompetent. I am afraid that His Royal Highness's leg will be in jeopardy for the rest of his life..."

"What?!!"

Concubine Ru was stunned for a moment, unable to make any sound. She seemed to be frozen in place, with disbelief written all over her face.

The emperor and the empress dowager were so shocked that they were speechless. They did not expect Xiao Heng to be so cruel.

They thought it was just a simple fracture and would take a few days to recover...

I didn't expect it to break into pieces...

After a few breaths, Ru Fei finally couldn't hold on any longer. She seemed to have lost all her strength, her body was shaking, her eyes turned black, and she fainted.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager came back to their senses, and the Empress also recovered from her shock. She immediately said, "Come here, send Concubine Ru back to Fuyang Palace to rest."

After saying that, the palace maids carried the unconscious Concubine Ru out.

When everyone heard what Dean Wen said, they felt a chill down their spines. Just now they were still shocked by Xiao Heng's coldness and ruthlessness, but now they were even more afraid of his brutal methods.

This also shattered a part of Xiao Chengchang...

The young masters of the aristocratic families present were sweating profusely. Some of them remembered that they had coveted Princess Minghua just now. Now, after hearing about Xiao Chengchang's fate, they all became as obedient as quails.

Even Prince Xiao Heng could be deposed at will, let alone them.

Seeing that Xiao Heng was still so tyrannical, the Queen Mother became even more dissatisfied. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the Emperor beside her say to Wen Zhiling, "I understand. You can go down."

The Empress Dowager opened her lips slightly and listened to the Emperor say, "Come here, send Xiao Chengchang back to Prince Gong's Mansion. From now on, he will be confined to the mansion to reflect on his mistakes!"

When the ministers heard this decree, their expressions changed slightly.

Apart from the crown prince, the emperor's favorite was Prince Gong. Now that Xiao Chengchang had one leg crippled by Xiao Heng, the emperor not only did not hold Xiao Heng accountable for lynching him, but instead punished Xiao Chengchang.

For a moment, the ministers who supported Xiao Chengchang began to waver in their thoughts.

Lu Zhenting's expression turned slightly cold, and when he saw Meng Ange who had just slandered Su Yuejian, his face darkened.

Lu Zhan, who was standing by, immediately noticed Lu Zhenting's gaze.

Lu Zhan frowned, stood up and said coldly, "Your Majesty, Princess Minghua was innocently harmed and falsely accused by Princess Yilun. Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for your sister!"

Su Lin bowed and said, "Yue'er is Jinru and my only daughter. Princess Yilun has slandered my daughter's innocence without any evidence. I will never tolerate my daughter being humiliated like this! Please, Your Majesty, deal with this impartially and give my daughter justice!"

As soon as the words fell, most of the generals in the hall stood up, and their voices echoed throughout the hall, saying in unison, "Your Majesty, please give justice to Princess Minghua!"

Su Yuejian's sword dance just now had already aroused the excitement of the generals present. They would never bear to see General Lu's only daughter suffer such injustice.

At this time, Meng Angge was still immersed in the grief of Xiao Chengchang becoming a disabled person. Looking at the ministers denouncing him in the hall, his body stiffened. He was frightened and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

She looked up at the emperor's gloomy face and said, "Uncle..."

Then he turned to look at Princess Jiaping and her husband, looking for help.

Princess Jiaping had just stood up to plead when a cold rebuke rang out, "Princess Yilun has slandered Minghua without cause and violated etiquette in front of the palace. You are punished to serve for six months and be confined to your house for three months. You must follow the teaching nanny and relearn the rules for women!"

Hearing that the punishment was not too severe, Princess Jiaping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Meng Ange to pay her respects.

The emperor glanced at the ministers standing in the hall, then said to Su Lin, "Minghua was frightened by what happened today. I remember there is a thousand-year-old snow ginseng in the warehouse, so I gave it to Minghua to calm his nerves and recuperate."

Su Lin bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After this incident, everyone realized that Princess Minghua not only had a special status in the regent's heart, but also in the emperor's eyes.

The reward the emperor gave to Su Yuejian today was several times more than what all the young ladies from official families had received. Now he even gave her thousand-year-old snow ginseng!

The thousand-year-old snow ginseng was the most precious tribute, and there were only three of them.

One was given to the empress dowager, one was given to the queen, and the only remaining one was left for the emperor himself.

Now, in order to appease Su Yuejian, it was sent away so lightly.

Everyone couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons in their hearts. Regardless of the Su and Lu families, Princess Minghua must absolutely not be offended! !

At the same time, on the other side, Su Yuejian had just changed her clothes and opened the palace door. Looking at the lonely and elegant figure standing in front of the courtyard, she paused and stopped at the door.
