"Okay, okay, okay, Yuqin, you are really great!"

"You committed the evil yourself, but you pushed the blame onto the maid. Why didn't I realize before that you are such a vicious person?"

Emperor Jian'an clapped his hands, and immediately a pair of guards rushed in and held Yuqin on both sides, making her unable to move.

But the young emperor said in a chilly voice, "Yu Shuyi and Yuqin, you have been lacking in moral character and have made repeated mistakes. I hereby demote you to noble ladies. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of Ziwei Palace!"

After all, Emperor Jian'an was concerned about Yuqin's father being an official in the court, so he did not dare to punish her too harshly. Otherwise, the crime of deceiving the emperor might be punishable by beheading or quartering.

"As for the little palace maid Cui'er..."

At this point, Emperor Jian'an glanced at Su Lili's expression, paused, and said, "Expel her from the palace to serve as a warning to others."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuqin's delicate body trembled, and then she began to scream like a mad woman.

"Your Majesty, why don't you kill her? She is the one who harmed me. She is the one who harmed me!"

"She deserves to die. She deserves to die the most. Your Majesty, I am truly wronged!"

...

...

Unjust? Concubine Xian sneered and tightened the swaddling clothes in her arms.

"Then tell me, how did she lie to you? Did she hold a knife to you and force you to come and complain first?"

"I……"

Yuqin paused in her scolding and her face turned deathly pale.

[Pfft, my mother is so awesome, so majestic and domineering! ]

[Also, my father has already let her off the hook, but Yu Shuyi is still here, shameless. Sigh, she won't cry until she sees the coffin! ]

Until now, Emperor Jian'an was deeply regretful that he had actually recruited such a person into the harem. He was really blind in the past.

Looking down at the trembling Cui'er, Emperor Jian'an slowed down his tone and tried to soften his voice, "Now, you can tell me the whole story. With me here, she won't dare to do anything to you."

"There is no need to worry about her revenge. Right now, Concubine Yu is in a difficult situation."

Cui'er knew that this was her only chance to tell the truth, so she didn't intend to be pretentious.

"Noble Lady Yu was jealous of Concubine Xian because her daughter was the reason for her status, so she wanted to use me to get rid of the little princess and frame Concubine Xian. I thought the little princess was young and pitiful, and Noble Lady Yu had the leverage over her, so I could only send her far away from the palace and lie to her..."

"It is not a pity that I have killed someone, but I beg Your Majesty to help save my family. Your Majesty, I beg you!"

Cui'er kept knocking her head, and her forehead was broken and a lot of blood oozed out.

"Okay, I promise you, I will send you and your family out of the palace safely."

Emperor Jian'an nodded slightly, and Wang Yun beside him quickly helped Cui'er up.

"Don't worry, Miss Cui'er. His Majesty doesn't intend to kill you. Leave the palace now and run as far away as possible!"

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live Your Majesty!"

Cui'er cried with joy and wanted to bow again, but she saw Emperor Jian'an shaking his head and pointing at the baby in the cradle.

"She is the one you should thank the most. I wanted to kill you, but the little princess insisted on protecting you. If you want to kowtow, you might as well kowtow to her."

What? The one who saved me and my family was actually the little princess I wanted to kill?!

"Thank you, little princess, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful. I only wish to spend the rest of my life with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, chanting sutras and praying for the little princess day and night to atone for my sins."

Cui'er bowed deeply again, and then, under the guidance of Wang Yun, she walked out of the Golden Dragon Palace, looking back every few steps.

Soon, the crazy Concubine Yu was dragged away, and the huge Golden Dragon Palace finally became a lot quieter.

"Okay, okay, we are finally out of danger. Alas, if it weren't for Cui Er's quick thought, I'm afraid it would be a lot worse."

Looking at Su Lili's smiling eyes, Yu Yao sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Yes, fortunately Li Li was found and no disaster occurred."

The virtuous concubine nodded slightly, hugged Su Lili and bowed gracefully.

"Li Li has been wandering outside the palace for most of the day and must be tired now. I want to take her back to Wei Rui Palace to rest."

"Okay, I grant your permission, you may go now."

Emperor Jian'an was worried that the little immortal might have exhausted himself, so he immediately agreed.

After receiving the order, Concubine Xian carried Su Lili in her arms and left in a grand manner surrounded by palace servants.

On the way, Su Lili's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, she clutched the collar of Concubine Xian and fell asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Su Lili finally woke up slowly. As soon as she raised her eyes, she found herself in a huge luxurious room.

There were many bookshelves in the room, filled with all kinds of books and scrolls. The ground beneath me felt soft, and it turned out that there were several layers of thick tiger-skin mattresses.

[This should be the legendary imperial study, right? So big, so beautiful! ]

His eyes turned and fell on the desk in front of him. There were piles of memorials piled up like a mountain. Emperor Jian'an was holding a cinnabar pen, working non-stop.

"Little princess, are you awake? Come, accompany me to look at these memorials."

Seeing her wake up, Emperor Jian'an immediately held her in his arms. Su Lili was held in his arms and could see the words written on the memorial when she lowered her head.

[The flood in Jiazhou continues, and the people are displaced. I request Your Majesty to send people to the disaster area to build dams, and to open granaries to provide porridge to the victims...]

"Well, what do you think, little princess? Is the content of the memorial credible?"

Emperor Jian'an put down the cinnabar imperial pen and listened carefully to Su Lili's voice.

[The flood in Jiazhou is real, and dams should indeed be built to prevent flooding. However, the relief grain will only be exploited at every level, and in the end, less than one thousandth of it will reach the mouths of the victims...]

[Therefore, we must send reliable people to escort the relief supplies, which may help alleviate the urgent needs of the disaster area...]

Su Lili held her hand and nodded thoughtfully, then read several more books and came up with some constructive opinions.

With her around, the speed of handling government affairs in the court was more than doubled. Emperor Jian'an was overjoyed. The little princess was indeed the lucky star of the Dayong Kingdom!

At this time, there was a noise outside the imperial study, and a guard in black came forward, knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the person who bullied the little hostage has been found. It is the Third Prince Su Lan."

Su Lan? Su Lili nodded her head, and then a new plot flooded into her mind.

"Send him to see me immediately. I have something to say to him."

"yes."

When the chief eunuch Wang Yun received the order, he naturally gave the order.

Not long after, the eunuch who delivered the message came back, followed by a familiar face.

With his harsh eyebrows and high cheekbones, he does not look very pleasing at first glance.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Father. Long live your Majesty."

Before he could even stand up, a scroll of scriptures hit him on the forehead, leaving a bloody gap.

"Evil son, kneel down before me! You are becoming more and more lawless!"
