Chapter 3 Someone Abuses the Heir

The palace maid babble out all the stories of how they bullied the little princess, but she remains silent about Concubine Cheng's abuse of the child.

Seeing that His Majesty is in love with the little princess, and Concubine Cheng is the little princess's biological mother, who knows if she will become successful one day. If that happens, as long as they can still keep their lives, Concubine Cheng will definitely save them.

Because of what happened today, maybe Lady Cheng will reward them with gold, silver and jewelry.

Seeing the wealth and prosperity right before her eyes, the palace maid couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

Sanping knew what the palace maid was up to at a glance and sneered.

They still want to wait for someone to rescue them, but the fact that they bullied the princess is enough to make them die a thousand times.

Emperor Jingyuan finally understood why his little daughter trembled with fear when she saw the candy. It turned out that these servants replaced the princess's candy with slightly poisonous pills. Although not fatal, it caused the little princess to suffer for three days. Since then, the little daughter has avoided candy and only thought it was the candy's fault.

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the maids, a chill in his eyes. "So this is how you usually deceive the princess. Very good! Sanping, take these maids away and have them all caned to death. Tell all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to witness the execution! This is the fate of bullying your master!"

Sanping lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Xihe still held onto Emperor Jingyuan's thighs. She took a moment to glance at the palace maids being dragged away, thinking, "Bad guy, really bad guy! This can be considered as partial revenge for that poor little princess."

Looking at this little girl whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own, Emperor Jingyuan's heart, which had been hard for a long time, gradually softened. "Don't be afraid, Xiaoliu. Daddy has already dealt with them."

"Daddy, can you hold Xiaoliu?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Emperor Jingyuan expectantly.

The little girl was very thin, her clothes were loose on her body, and there were some bloodstains on her face, but her bright eyes were particularly attractive.

Emperor Jingyuan raised his hand and picked up Xihe. The little girl seemed very happy and leaned on his shoulder, feeling very dependent. "That's great. Xiaoliu is not a wild child anymore. Xiaoliu is a child who has a father who loves her."

Looking at his little daughter's defenseless smile, the anger in Emperor Jingyuan's heart miraculously calmed down, and his embrace tightened a little. Xihe suddenly said "hmm", and Emperor Jingyuan's face suddenly changed.

"Sanping, summon the imperial physician to Yuanyang Palace! Quick! If you're a moment late, I'll execute all of you!"

"Yes! I obey your order."

Emperor Jingyuan held Xihe and walked quickly towards Yuanyang Palace. Sanping hurried to the Imperial Hospital and asked a royal physician to fly to Yuanyang Palace.

The imperial physician was dragged all the way here, his soul almost flew away. Before he could catch his breath, he met the sinister eyes of Emperor Jingyuan.

"Show it to the princess."

"yes."

The imperial physician looked at the little girl with her legs drooping on the bed, wondering which princess was so favored that the emperor could accompany her to see a doctor.

Xihe smiled broadly at the imperial physician, "Uncle Imperial Physician, thank you for your help."

Facing the little princess' innocent smile, the imperial physician immediately calmed down and began to take her pulse, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"How is the princess?" As soon as she finished taking the pulse, Xihe returned to Emperor Jingyuan's arms and held him tightly.

"Your Majesty, the princess is very weak. Not only is she malnourished, but she's also..."

Emperor Jingyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said sternly, "Speak!"

The imperial physician was startled and replied tremblingly, "Also, the princess may have suffered long-term external injuries, which has caused some internal damage as well. To know exactly where, we need a nanny to examine the princess's body."

As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Emperor Jingyuan's expression.

A royal heir who suffers long-term trauma in the palace is guilty of a capital crime, no matter which of the charges is brought.

The entire Yuanyang Palace was silent as death. Emperor Jingyuan felt that those palace maids had gotten away with it and should be skinned alive. However, due to the presence of his youngest daughter, he did not get angry. Only the violent heaving of his chest proved his indignation.

"Sanping, call a few palace maids in, and the others go wait outside."

"I'll go right away."

Sanping called in several palace maids and helped Xihe change her dirty clothes. When she took off the last piece of clothing, the scars all over her body frightened the maids. After taking a quick look, one of them hurried out to report to Sanping.

Sanping's eyes widened in shock when he heard this, "Are you sure?"

The palace maid nodded heavily and whispered, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to speak nonsense."

Sanping was overwhelmed thinking about Emperor Jingyuan who was still waiting for news in the front hall.

"Take good care of the princess. I will report to His Majesty."

Emperor Jingyuan sat in front of the imperial desk, but did not read the memorials. His eyes were fixed on something, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"how?"

Sanping lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the palace maids reported that the little princess's body is covered with scars, with countless blue and purple spots. Her back is also bloody. There is basically no good place."

Sanping's voice gradually faded, and the imperial physician pretended to be dead in the corner.

A good heir to the throne is being abused like this. Who wouldn't be tired of living like this?

A cold laugh was heard from the eerily quiet inner hall, but Sanping lowered his head even deeper. It was okay when Emperor Jingyuan was scolding people, but the most terrifying thing was when he laughed, which meant that blood would definitely be shed.

"Very good, Sanping, go investigate. I don't believe a few palace maids would dare abuse the heir to the throne. Investigate everything thoroughly for me!"

"I obey your command."
