"Haha, how can this be called lynching? It's just a disobedient servant."

"Xu Wanqing, what's your attitude? You did such a cruel thing, why are you so unrepentant?"

"Yes, sister, Guizhi is a human being after all. How could you pull out her tongue? You are too cruel!"

Xu Wanqing said dismissively, "So what? I've already pulled it out, what do you want me to do?"

"You...how dare you, Xu, do such a horrible thing? I'll put her under house arrest and not let her leave the Hehua Palace for a month! Also, take Xu's salary and give it to Guizhi!"

"yes!"

"You..., Lin Yue'e, what qualifications do you have to do this?"

Xu Wanqing's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, what did Guizhi do to make you so crazy?"

"this......"

Thinking of what happened that day, Xu Wanqing's face changed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"I don't need to tell you what it was because she's my servant. I can beat her and punish her as I please."

Lin Yue'e was so angry that she was almost out of breath, and her originally pale face had a little blush.

When Xu Wanqing saw this, she knew that Lin Yue'e was still a sickly person in this life.

"The Crown Princess seems to be in poor health. It's better for her to go home and recuperate. As for Guizhi, she's just a servant. Whether she's beaten to death or has her tongue ripped out, it's a fact. I don't think His Royal Highness will blame me."

"Xu Wanqing, don't be so arrogant. The Eastern Palace has its own rules. It's not a place for you to do whatever you want."

"Yes, sister, you can't treat Guizhi like this. There are so many people in the East Palace, and no one has done such a cruel thing. I think if His Highness knew, he would definitely think that sister is a cruel person."

"Xu Wanyu, shut up! I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're jumping around in front of me like a dog."

Xu Wanyu was scolded by her, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. "Sister, how can you say that to me? This is His Highness's decision. Even though His Highness doesn't like you, you can't interfere with His Highness's decision, right? After all, His Highness is also the Master of the Eastern Palace."

Xu Wanqing was furious. "Xu Wanyu, I underestimated you, a bitch. You are so resourceful."

"Speaking of tactics, I'm naturally no match for my sister. After all, I followed His Highness with a clean slate, unlike some people..."

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Xu Wanyu pretended to be afraid and shrank towards Lin Yue'e.

This made Xu Wanqing even angrier, and she raised her hand to hit Xu Wanyu.

"stop!"

A loud shout was heard outside, and Xiao Muchan strode over with a gloomy face.

"What are you guys doing?"

Xu Wanqing raised her hand in the air and forgot to retract it for a moment.

Xu Wanyu ran away with a look of grievance on her face. Xiao Muhan couldn't help but complain: "Your Highness, I and the Crown Princess learned that my sister was using torture privately, so we came to dissuade her. I didn't expect that she would not appreciate it. Not only did she insult the Crown Princess, she also beat me."

Xiao Muhan looked at Xu Wanqing with gloomy eyes and asked coldly, "Is what she said true?"

Xu Wanqing looked straight at Xiao Muchan. This was the first time she saw him since waking up.

Thinking about her previous life, when he forced her to leave Mingxuan and marry him, but she was ignored by him in the end, Xu Wanqing couldn't help but feel red in the eyes.

"Mu Han..."

Xu Wanqing opened her red lips slightly, and everyone present was immediately shocked. This Empress Xu was too bold.

Especially Lin Yue'e and Xu Wanyu, they looked at Xu Wanqing as if they had seen a ghost.

Xiao Muhan frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "Why resort to lynching?"

Xu Wanqing came back to her senses, looked at Guizhi, and said lightly: "A disobedient servant will naturally be punished."

"Sister, you can't pull out her tongue, right? You can beat her with a stick and make her kneel down, but how can you pull out her tongue? Could it be that Guizhi heard some secret of yours?"

As soon as Xu Wanyu finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu Wanqing as if they had suddenly understood.

Xu Wanqing gnashed her teeth and said through gritted teeth, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't have any secrets."

"Really? I thought my sister had returned to her parents' home and had more secrets."

After she finished speaking, she walked up to Guizhi and whispered, "Guizhi, His Highness is here. If you have any grievances, tell His Highness immediately and He will take care of it for you."

Guizhi looked at Xu Wanyu in confusion, then at Xu Wanqing, whose face was gloomy, and did not speak for a while.

"Speak quickly, Your Highness has always been fair and just, treating everyone in the East Palace equally."

Xiao Muhan nodded, "Xu Liangdi is right."

Xu Wanqing's body suddenly shook, and she looked at Xiao Muchan in disbelief.

Unfortunately, Xiao Muchan didn't even look at her.

Guizhi may have seen hope, she kowtowed repeatedly, then pointed at Xu Wanqing's belly and kept saying "ahhhh".

"Guizhi, are you referring to my sister's belly?"

Guizhi nodded.

Xu Wanyu felt proud for a moment, because she knew the secret of Xu Wanqing's belly.

"What's wrong with your sister's belly?"

“Ahhh…”

Everyone watched her gesturing non-stop, but couldn't figure out what she meant.

"What are you going to say?"

Xiao Muhan was a little impatient.

“Ahhh…”

Xu Wanyu was also a little anxious and quickly suggested: "How about giving Guizhi paper and a pen and letting her write it down?"

Xu Wanqing's face turned pale. No, she couldn't let Xiao Muchan know, not even a guess.

Thinking of this, she came to Xiao Muhan with a look of grievance and said shyly: "Your Highness, Guizhi wants to tell you that I have a child."

The expressions of the people present changed again.

"child?"

Xiao Muhan's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

Xu Wanqing nodded shyly. "I just found out when I went back to my parents' home. I wanted to wait three months before telling anyone, but Guizhi always wanted to make a fuss."

"Then you can't pull out her tongue for that."

After hearing this, Xu Wanqing felt even more aggrieved. "Of course, it's not just because of this. She also said that the baby in my belly is His Highness's first child. If it's a dragon son, His Highness will definitely... I was thinking about the Crown Princess, so how could she say such treasonous words? So, so..."

"Impossible, clearly..."

Xu Wanyu was a little anxious. How did the situation turn around?

"Mingming what?"

Xu Wanqing smiled and looked at Xu Wanyu, "Could it be that my sister taught Guizhi to say this? You know, Guizhi was not such a person who didn't know the rules before."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yue'e and continued, "The Crown Princess is His Highness's legal wife. How can my child be compared with the Crown Princess's child?"

Lin Yue'e's expression changed, and she looked at Xu Wanyu and Xu Wanqing, both of whom looked unhappy.

"That's not the case."

Xu Wanyu was eager to explain.
