Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuangbao immediately spoke in a light tone.

"You dare!"

When the princess heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief. "I'm the princess! How dare you hit me!"

"Yes, Princess."

The next moment, Chen Cao made a swift move, and with three slaps, the princess was stunned!

"How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me!"

There was a clear mark of the slap on the princess's face. Chen Cao deliberately hit only one side of her face. Now it was visibly swollen and looked very funny.

"I represent the royal family. How dare you call yourself 'I' and defy the royal authority? It's only three slaps. I'm going to go easy on you for the sake of King Jiangnan!"

As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, he looked at King Jiangnan beside him with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

King Jiangnan's face immediately turned red.

He was about to say something when a group of people came hurriedly from a distance.

It was Concubine Zhao who heard the news and came with people.

On the way here, she had already understood the whole story. When she arrived and saw the princess's expression, she knew what was going on. Then she saw her father's face turning pale and red, and she suddenly became angry.

"Father, why are you so confused now?"

Concubine Zhao spoke directly, "Shuang Baogui is a first-rank princess. Not to mention she's just a princess, even the ladies in the palace have to respect her. How dare the princess contradict Shuang Bao to her face? You really don't know your place!"

Concubine Zhao made no secret of her sarcasm and disgust.

The King of Jiangnan naturally knew that what she said was right, but there was still a hint of resentment on his face.

After hearing what Concubine Zhao said, the princess was furious!

"I was ignorant of my place and offended the princess! I kowtow and confess my guilt!"

At this time, the princess knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.

Then, without waiting for Xiao Shuangbao to tell her to, she stood up on her own, her neck stiff and half of her face swollen, and she said angrily through gritted teeth, "But the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Little Princess, you injured my son for no reason. Shouldn't you punish yourself too and give me an explanation?"

Seeing that she dared to ask him for an explanation, Xiao Shuangbao almost laughed out of anger.

She immediately raised her hand, pointed at the little maid on the ground, and said, "Your son tortured this little maid to the point of nearly dying. He was so cruel, and yet you don't even reflect on your mistakes. Instead, you come to me for an explanation."

Upon hearing this, the princess glanced indifferently at the little maid covered in blood on the ground, showing no concern at all.

"She's just a maid. She made a mistake, so she deserves to be beaten to death! The little princess may be kind-hearted, but she's easily deceived by appearances. You say my son is cruel, but you don't understand. This little maid clearly did something wrong, so my son beat her!"

She said coldly.

Such confusing right and wrong remarks completely stunned Xiao Shuangbao.

She had never encountered such a situation before!

However, Concubine Zhao on the side stroked her forehead with some intolerance.

Unlike Xiao Shuangbao, she has been in the harem for a long time, so what hasn't she seen?

The princess said this just to take advantage of little Shuangbao's young age!

"Princess, do you believe what you said?"

At this time, Concubine Zhao sneered coldly, "The maid did something wrong? May I ask what she did wrong? Princess, do you really think that you can cover up everything with just a few words from you? Do you think that if the little princess investigates, she won't find out what happened?"

"I don't understand what Concubine Zhao means. But now that Concubine Zhao has entered the palace and become an empress, she is no longer ordinary. She doesn't even support her own family. I'm afraid she doesn't care about her father, Your Highness!"

The princess had a cold expression on her face, but when she spoke, her words were meant to provoke.

When the King of Jiangnan heard this, his expression changed slightly and he glanced at Concubine Zhao.

As the daughter of a general, Concubine Zhao hated the fighting between the women in the harem the most.

At this moment, she simply followed the princess' words, nodded, and said, "That's right, it's extraordinary that I entered the palace and became a queen. If I hadn't entered the palace back then, I would never agree to let my father marry a woman like you!"

When King Jiangnan heard this, his face suddenly turned colorful again.

Concubine Zhao was also his daughter who was raised with his love. She said that she would definitely do such a thing.

As Xiao Shuangbao watched the two people fighting, she also understood that what the princess had just said was bullying her because she was young.

"Princess, you said your son punished this little maid because she did something wrong. So, all these female ghosts in this yard are little maids of her age. Did your son beat them to death because they made mistakes?"
