Chapter 193: Scolding the Emperor
"Here I come."
The queen also came here.
[Guagua, why is the Queen here?]
The Empress had originally planned to take everyone for a stroll in the Imperial Garden, but she heard our voices and came over.
【All right】
"Hurry up, Princess Du, go to Weiyang Palace!"
"yes"
The maid beside the queen quickly picked up the little princess.
Fang Lingchu also followed.
[Guagua, what's going on? Why are there so many people?! How did they know something happened to the little princess? They came so promptly. Could it be that they heard my concerns and followed me here?]
Everyone held their breath because of Fang Lingchu's words.
Queen: Did Lord Xiao Fang find out?
Others: No way, if Lord Xiao Fang knew about this, would His Majesty kill them all?
Emperor: If anyone acts rashly again and is exposed, his entire family will be killed.
At this moment, everyone was nervous and afraid, wondering if there was something wrong with them.
[Host, do you think it's possible to say this? ]
[Yeah, who would listen to other people's thoughts? And with so many people around, it's really impossible.]
[That's right. Besides, host, have you forgotten that you have the Emperor and Empress's secret guards around you?]
[If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I still have their spies around me! ]
Queen: It’s not spy, it’s protection.
Others: The Queen and His Majesty have sent secret guards to Lord Xiao Fang.
[That's right, host. So if anything happens to you, they can come immediately. There shouldn't be any problem!]
[I still feel weird. Never mind. Let’s not think about it anymore. Let’s talk about the little princess!]
The Queen brought everyone to the Weiyang Palace.
"Today's banquet is over, everyone go back! Master Xiao Fang stays."
"Yes, Queen."
[Guagua, why did the Queen keep me here? Have I become the Queen's confidant?]
Queen: She dare not let Lord Xiao Fang become her confidant.
[That shouldn't be the case, but it's probably because the Crown Prince likes you, and the Empress loves you too!]
【When you say that, I suddenly want to leave. 】
As soon as everyone left, the emperor heard the news and rushed over.
"Queen, I heard that Xiao Qi fell into the water. What happened?"
The Queen glared at His Majesty and said unhappily, "Xiao Qi was covered in wounds. She fainted and was thrown directly into the pond."
His Majesty was confused by the stare. What did he do?
"Who is so bold? Where are those servants? What do they eat?"
The queen pulled up the corners of her mouth into a smile, but her expression and eyes did not diminish at all.
"The Seventh Princess has no servants by her side. The only servant she had is dead, and his body was thrown into the well."
"How come Xiao Qi doesn't have any servants around him?"
The queen no longer wanted to talk.
The emperor himself said that children born in the harem do not need their mothers to take care of them, and the children in the harem do not need the queen to worry about them. Now that this kind of thing has happened, he has the nerve to ask.
"Go and investigate for me and find out who are these hypocrites who dare to treat the princess so harshly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards received the order and went directly to the little princess's yard.
"Queen, have your people investigate as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fang Lingchu looked at so many people and could only stand at the back.
[Host, the Queen is a powerful figure. It would be a waste not to embrace her. What are you afraid of?]
"Nothing. I'm just afraid that one day the Crown Prince will want to marry me. What will I do then if the Emperor orders me to do so?"
[Not really! Doesn't the prince have much romantic feelings now?]
[That's what I said, but who knew he'd suddenly become romantically involved? I'm done for. I'd better stay away from the Queen.]
[It's all fine, but you don't want to know who killed the little princess.]
【Oh, yeah! What's going on?】
The Queen and the Emperor were sitting up there, and Fang Lingchu originally wanted to take advantage of the situation.
It’s a pity that the emperor didn’t give her a chance.
"Master Xiao Fang is still here, so please sit down and listen together."
Guagua, didn't the Queen ask me to stay? What does Your Majesty mean? It's as if I really want to hear their family gossip.
【Don’t you want to listen? 】
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fang Lingchu cursed in his heart but appeared to be obedient on the surface.
"I think his decision to let me stay is a different matter, okay? Besides, he's an emperor, but he can't even protect a little girl. He's unworthy of being a father."
Emperor Chongde: Fang Lingchu, just wait for me.
[Host, actually this isn't entirely the Emperor's fault.]
[Guagua, why are you still speaking up for that Lao Deng?]
Queen: Master Xiao Fang, please be careful with your words!
Emperor Chongde: Who is Lao Deng talking about? He is definitely not talking about me.
【Host, take a look for yourself! 】
[This…this isn't his fault! Oh my god, Guagua, are your eyes okay?]
[Even in our time, someone like the Emperor would be considered a criminal for abandonment.]
[I'm really impressed. I don't understand why, after having so many children, they forgot this important thing. So many princesses are obviously living well.]
Look at how old this little princess is! She's just over two years old, and she can't even go to kindergarten yet!
[Oh my god, I really want to hand a knife to the Empress and ask her to discipline the Emperor.]
How can you be someone's father? You're such a beast.
Emperor: Are you scolding me? What have I done that is so injurious to Heaven and Earth that you need to scold me for so long?
The queen also glanced at the emperor, curious about what he had done to make Lord Xiao Fang so angry.
Emperor: Look at what I am doing. I am upright and honest, but Fang Lingchu just talks nonsense and slanders me.
[Host, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary to scold me so harshly! Maybe I'm really busy. After all, I'm the ruler of a country, so I have a lot to do.]
"If you have so much to do, just leave it to the Empress! Not only do you not understand how to take care of it yourself, you've even forgotten about it. What kind of person is that?"
Queen: That’s right, if you don’t want to raise her yourself, then let her raise her! She must be so bored in the harem all by herself.
[All concubines cannot raise their own children, and the Queen certainly cannot do so!]
[Why not? The Queen is the wife, and the others are concubines. They are different.]
[Host, the Emperor hopes that these brothers will work together, just like the Crown Prince and the other princes.]
[Although I still want to say that even if this is the case, he should at least care about his children! ]
[It’s not that he doesn’t care, he just forgot! ]
Isn’t this a problem?
Emperor: Can you get to the point? You just keep scolding me.
Queen: You haven’t mentioned who harmed the little princess for such a long time.
Others: Lord Xiao Fang is so bold that he dares to scold His Majesty like this.
Yes, yes, no problem.
[But Guagua, what's wrong with the little princess's mother? Why did she go crazy?]
