Only after the imperial physician left did the Third Assistant Minister slowly turn his head.

His movements were slow and stiff, and Xiao Qingwu could almost hear the crackling sound of bones moving.

Xiao Qingwu looked at the Third Assistant Minister in horror.

She had no doubt that if he hadn't been concerned about her status as a princess, the Third Assistant Minister would have skinned her alive.

It was similar to what Xiao Qingwu thought. If looks could kill, she would have been cut into pieces by now.

As happy as he was when he first knew Xiao Qingwu was pregnant, he now hates her as much.

As a result, he couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the emperor who had granted the marriage.

If the emperor had not granted the marriage, he and Miss Xu could have lived happily together for the rest of their lives!

His eyes were bloodshot.

Xiao Qingwu's face was pale and bloodless. She certainly didn't want to listen to the imperial physician and go to the palace to see the emperor. Her voice was filled with pleading: "Prince consort, Prince consort..."

As long as the Third Assistant Minister doesn't pursue the matter further and just says it's a quarrel between husband and wife, even the Emperor won't say anything more...

The Third Assistant Minister didn't even look at her. "Princess, did you hear everything? There's no need for me to call anyone else. Princess, please go on your own."

After saying this, he turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Xiao Qingwu collapsed to the ground and the maid supported her.

Then, she grabbed the maid's hand and said, "Hurry, go find my brother and ask him to come to the palace as soon as possible!"

The maid nodded hastily and ran out in a panic.

Xiao Qingwu collapsed on the ground in shock and fear, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

After the Third Assistant Minister left, he had someone prepare a carriage and waited outside the mansion for a long time, but Xiao Qingwu did not come out. He was extremely annoyed and ordered the servant to push Xiao Qingwu out directly.

When he saw that only Xiao Qingwu came out, he knew that the maid must have been sent by her to inform the enemy, and he snorted coldly a few times.

After pushing Xiao Qingwu onto the carriage, he turned around and got on another carriage, and the two carriages drove towards the palace.

…

"Your Majesty, the princess is not pregnant."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he looked up cautiously and saw that the emperor's face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I understand, please leave."

The imperial physician left as instructed, and before leaving, he stole a glance at Jiang Zhiyu.

Jiang Zhiyu seemed to be unaware of anything and ate one rose pastry at a time.

"Have I been too merciful recently? Why have these people lost their respect for me? Any offense is considered a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor."

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but the coldness in his words made Chao En feel a chill on his back, and he suddenly knelt down.

Jiang Zhiyu: “…”

[I got stabbed, why did you suddenly kneel down? ]

【Should I take one too? 】

"Your Majesty's benevolence is a blessing to the people. They committed the heinous crime of deceiving the emperor only because they don't know what's good for them."

Chao En flattered.

Jiang Zhiyu waved and whispered to Fuping, who was peeling walnuts for her, "Look at him. He has a lot of skills in speaking. You still need to learn."

Fu Ping scoffed lightly, "It's just some flattery. As the saying goes, honest advice hurts. In the end, the only ones who can stay by His Majesty's side will be loyal ministers like us!"

"Oh, you're getting anxious," Jiang Zhiyu said with a slight smile, "Then may I ask this loyal minister, why can't you even get through the door when I'm not around?"

Fu Ping: “…”

He wanted to say something but stopped, and went back and forth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.

Jiang Zhiyu's sharp comments:

[The only thing that's hard on my body is my mouth.]

"cough……"

The emperor coughed lightly, interrupting their whispers. Jiang Zhiyu and Fuping immediately sat up straight, one continued to show off, and the other continued to peel.

emperor:"……"

Since the last time Jiang Zhiyu checked Fuping's waist, the relationship between Jiang Zhiyu and Fuping seemed to have progressed rapidly, and they often whispered to each other.

Before he could say anything, a report came from outside the door. The emperor glanced at Chao En, who understood and shouted "Come in". Then he quickly stood up and stood behind the emperor on the right.

The Third Assistant Minister and Xiao Qingwu walked in and saw Jiang Zhiyu sitting beside them. The Third Assistant Minister paused, something flashed quickly in his eyes, and then disappeared.

Then he knelt down and saluted the emperor, knocking his head hard on the ground with a sound so loud that Xiao Qingwu's body trembled.

He said, "Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."

Since the imperial physicians were sent by the emperor himself, he didn't bother to play dumb. He looked at Xiao Qingwu, who was still standing there stupidly, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xiao Qingwu stood there, breathing rapidly: "Father, Father, I just, I just want to win back my husband!"

"My husband is always drinking and not coming home. I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

The Third Assistant Minister suddenly raised his head. Before he could explain himself, the Emperor shouted angrily, "Asshole! How dare you speak nonsense in front of me!"

Xiao Qingwu suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice filled with tears: "Father, please calm down, Father, please calm down."

"Your Majesty, I did drink heavily for a while, but it was definitely not the time when the princess claimed she was pregnant." The Third Assistant Minister looked at the emperor aggrievedly, "And I really couldn't express myself during that period, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked tired and said, "What grievances have you suffered? Tell me all of them today."

Xiao Qingwu's heart skipped a beat.

The Third Assistant Minister took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that on the day of our wedding, in the bridal chamber, the princess held a knife and tried to kill me."

The emperor was shocked.

"Are you serious? Why didn't you come to me in the first place?"

The Third Assistant Minister lowered his eyes slightly and said, "How dare I lie before Your Majesty? If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness was present that day."

The emperor was stunned.

Xiao Lingyu is here too?

Then why didn't he mention it to himself?

"Go and spread the word."

The emperor spoke softly.

【What else are you spreading? I saw it all.】

[It’s a pity that I can’t say it directly.]

emperor:"!!!"

Is she here too?

It’s such a big thing, but I’m the last one to know about it.

Xiao Qingwu's eyelids twitched violently when the Third Assistant Minister said the first word, and after hearing the Third Assistant Minister's words, his heart was even more lifted.

But when Xiao Qingwu heard the emperor summon Xiao Lingyu, he still breathed a sigh of relief that was hard to detect.

The Crown Prince is a kind person. He stopped it for me on the day of my wedding. Even for my father, the Crown Prince has prevented many disasters for me since he was a child.

He certainly won't admit it.

[Why didn't I tell you right away? Of course, I was afraid you would side with Xiao Qingwu.]

[Besides, he had been warned by Xiao Lingyu. Concubine Duan hadn't been demoted yet, and Xiao Siyuan was away at war. With so many backers, how could he dare to speak out?]

But things are different now. With the Queen dead, Xiao Lingyu is overwhelmed. His position as Crown Prince is in jeopardy, and Concubine Duan has gone mad again. Xiao Siyuan, not only has he failed to achieve any merit, but he has also suffered an unprecedented defeat. Add to that Xiao Qingwu's lies this time, and of course he dares to speak out.
