The cruel little princess

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, then slowly walked out from behind the screen, bowed solemnly to Madam Wu and the others, and said sincerely: "If it weren't for the timely assistance of my aunt and the ladies in today's incident, the consequences would have been disastrous.

My aunt and all the ladies not only saved my child, but also saved Youyou's life!

This great kindness will always be remembered in my heart and I am deeply grateful.

If there is anything in your residence that requires my help, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help you!"

Madam Zheng quickly waved her hand and said with a humble smile, "Your Highness Prince Jin, what are you talking about? We are all family, and this is our responsibility. We don't deserve such a generous reward from Your Highness.

As the ancients said, sow good seeds and reap good fruits.

This may be the reward for Princess Jin's daily good deeds, but I dare not take credit for it."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin nodded slightly, then looked around and said politely, "It's already bright outside now. The ladies have worked hard all night and must be exhausted.

Please go to your guest room to rest and recuperate."

In fact, he also wanted to be alone with Shen Youyou for a while. With these ladies here, there were many things he couldn't say.

Madam Zuo and Madam Zheng were both smart people. They naturally understood what His Royal Highness Prince Jin meant, so they took their leave and left the room one after another.

Madam Wu walked at the end. She looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jin with eyes full of concern and love. She couldn't help but persuade him as an elder, "Huai Jin, your aunt knows that you are a child with strong opinions and a sense of responsibility, but this matter is of no small importance!

Murdering the royal heir is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.

Besides, Youyou really had a close call with death this time and suffered so much.

As her husband, you must find out the whole story and give her a clear explanation, understand?"

His Royal Highness Prince Jin hurried forward, held Madam Wu's arm, and said in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, aunt, I know what's going on.

I will go to the palace later and report this matter in detail to the emperor, and let him make the final decision."

Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this and said, "That's good, that's good.

Auntie won't say much, just stay with Youyou."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin bowed slightly and said, "Aunt, please go and get some rest. You've worked really hard this night."

After Madam Wu left the room, His Royal Highness Prince Jin quickly walked to the bed and sat down.

He stared at Shen Youyou's tired yet peaceful sleeping face, feeling mixed emotions.

His big hand gently stroked Shen Youyou's sweaty cheek, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of waking her up.

At this moment, his heart was filled with both gratitude and fear for surviving the disaster.

He couldn't help but think silently in his heart: If Abbot Wuwo hadn't sacrificed ten years of his life to help, if his brother-in-law hadn't rushed back overnight after hearing the news, I'm afraid that this time, he would really be separated from the world of heaven forever!

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness Prince Jin's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He secretly vowed to find out who was behind this and make them pay a heavy price for what they did today.

In the early morning light, after confirming that his little princess was safe, His Royal Highness Prince Jin anxiously took several midwives and hurried to the palace.

Just now, he had sent someone to deliver a letter to the palace at full speed, informing the emperor that the ninth son had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Upon hearing this, the emperor was very pleased. Today's morning court went exceptionally smoothly. As long as the ministers' reports were not too outrageous, they would be approved. He was thinking about leaving the palace in disguise after the court to see the newly born grandchildren.

At this moment, the emperor had just returned to his bedroom after court. He was changing his clothes and preparing to leave the palace when he heard the eunuch outside loudly announce, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin requests an audience!"

The emperor was stunned and wondered in his heart: Old Nine loves his wife so much on weekdays, how could he be willing to come to the palace now?

Could it be that he came to ask for a reward from his wife?

However, this happy event does deserve a reward. Not only his wife, but also the newborn babies should be rewarded!

The emperor thought so and happily quickened the pace of changing his clothes. Then he ordered someone to invite His Royal Highness Prince Jin in.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin strode in with a gloomy face. Without even doing any greeting, he suddenly threw the midwives following him to the ground.

The old women were so frightened that they huddled together, their faces pale and their expressions extremely panicked. They collapsed to the ground trembling.

"Father!"

His Royal Highness Prince Jin suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully.

Although he was filled with anger, he also knew that etiquette must not be abandoned, not to mention that he had never doubted that his father would do such a thing.

My father has always been looking forward to his offspring. Now that he has many children, he is so happy that he can't contain his excitement.

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness Prince Jin stood up and said in a firm tone: "Father, I came here today to report an important matter. These people..."

He pointed at the trembling midwives on the ground and said, "They are deliberately plotting to murder the heir to the throne!

I saw with my own eyes that they deliberately delayed the birth of the child in an attempt to create the illusion of a difficult labor!

Such a person with evil intentions actually dared to do such a vicious thing in this palace. He must have a strong backer behind him!

I beg you, Father, to be fair and just, and bring justice to the land!"

After saying this, His Royal Highness Prince Jin knelt down again and kowtowed heavily.

"Be bold!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes widened in anger, he slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

The servants in the imperial study were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down..."

The emperor's face was ashen as he paced back and forth in the imperial study. After a moment, he stopped and said through gritted teeth, "The midwives in the palace were all carefully selected by the empress. They all have clean family backgrounds and clean hands and feet.

How could this be? Someone actually took advantage of me!

He even dared to attack a baby in the belly!

The person behind this is so cruel and outrageous!

Pass on my order and order the Dragon Guards to investigate this matter thoroughly immediately!

Investigate every level for me and never let any suspicious person go!"

"Your Majesty, this is unjust! Your Majesty!"

When the midwives who were kneeling on the ground heard this, they burst into tears, and their cries echoed in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty! Princess Jin ordered me to work in pairs. I wasn't in the delivery room at the time!"

Zhang Wenpo and Liu Wenpo knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears streaming down their cheeks as they pleaded for mercy, "Your Majesty, please understand! I am innocent! We have no second thoughts!"

The emperor glared at the midwife on the ground, his eyes like sharp blades, and said coldly: "Don't try to quibble!

I will find out the truth myself. If there is any injustice, I will certainly not wrongly accuse you.

But if you dare to hide anything, hmph!"

The Emperor snorted coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes sending shivers down everyone's spine. Prince Jin also stood up, his gaze determined as he stood aside, awaiting his father's decision. He vowed to expose the culprit behind this and seek justice for Youyou and the children...
