At the critical moment, Su Jinyue released the hand that was holding Princess Changping's wrist, and regardless of the scratches on her wrist by the hairpin, she rushed over to protect Yuzhu!

Fortunately, she reacted in time and Yuzhu's head was protected in Su Jinyue's arms!

"Jade beads!!!"

A frightened shout came from a distance!

Concubine Xian was already worried because she had lost the little princess. She happened to meet Xiao Duo, so she asked him to follow her to look for the whereabouts of the little princess in the imperial garden.

Unexpectedly, just after turning around the rockery, I saw Yuzhu falling down and being protected by Su Jinyue. The beautiful face of Concubine Xian turned pale with fright!

Princess Changping was stunned by Yuzhu's fall. After turning around and seeing Xiao Duo and Concubine Xian, she immediately pointed at Su Jinyue and said sternly, "Su Jinyue! I just asked you to bow to me, and it's fine if you don't bow! Why did you push Yuzhu down!"

After saying that, Princess Changping winked at Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui stepped forward to pull Su Jinyue away. Princess Changping immediately pulled Yuzhu up from the ground and protected her behind her. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, cousin! She was the one who wanted to hurt Yuzhu just now!"

"Do you know what a crime it is to attack the princess?" Concubine Xian was helped forward and scolded Su Jinyue!

Xiao Duo stood beside Concubine Xian, his eyes fell in the direction of Su Jinyue, and saw the back of her hand still stained with blood, and frowned slightly.

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes and saluted to Concubine Xian, "Reporting to Concubine Xian, it was the princess who accidentally pushed the little princess just now. I was just trying to protect her."

However, Concubine Xian didn't listen to Su Jinyue's explanation at all. "I thought the rumors outside were just rumors after all. Since Duo'er chose you, you should be dignified and generous. It seems that you have disappointed me."

Hearing that Concubine Xian's tone did not want to side with Su Jinyue, Princess Changping became bolder, "My Lady Concubine Xian, just when we were alone, she admitted that she was the one who flirted! How can a woman like this be worthy of my cousin!"

Xiao Duo's dark eyes suddenly turned cold, "Aunt."

“Woo woo!”

But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Yuzhu's voice.

As Princess Changping finished speaking, she felt someone push her hind legs, and she turned around to look behind her.

Yuzhu raised her little hand and pushed Princess Changping twice "hard"!

She ran back to Su Jinyue with her short legs and grabbed Su Jinyue's clothes tightly.

"Jade beads?!"

The virtuous concubine was a little surprised when she saw Yuzhu, who was usually not close to outsiders, holding on to Su Jinyue and not letting go.

Looking at Yuzhu's reaction, Su Jinyue could probably tell that she was probably sick from the stimulation.

Ignoring the heat and stinging pain on the back of her hand, Su Jinyue squatted down and rubbed Yuzhu's head. She smiled and shook her head, and said softly, "It's okay."

The little guy couldn't stop crying, and his little hands stubbornly held Su Jinyue's hand!

“Ahhh!”

Yuzhu pointed at the back of Su Jinyue's hand, in the direction of Princess Changping, then turned to look at Concubine Xian, and pointed at the hairpin on her head.

Her little mouth pursed and she spread out her little hands to show Concubine Xian. She had been scratched by the pebbles when she fell to the ground, and her two little palms were red. Yuzhu stared at Concubine Xian and tears flowed down her face.

This made Concubine Xian very sad!

Although Yuzhu was not her biological daughter, she had always been raised in her care and loved her as if she were her own child. Yuzhu had never suffered such injustice before.

Concubine Xian turned her head and looked in the direction of Princess Changping.

Princess Changping shuddered at the look in Concubine Xian's eyes and hid her hand holding the hairpin behind her back, "Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian."

Xiao Duo said to Concubine Xian, "Aunt, I was just thinking that the wound on Miss Su's hand looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon."

Xianfei was just worried about Yuzhu, but after Xiao Duo said that, she remembered Yuzhu's action just now, "Changping, where is the hairpin on your head!"

"I... I came here with Xiao Cui to look for the hairpin because I lost it." Princess Changping lied casually, her eyes darting around and she didn't dare to look in the direction of Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine looked at Xiao Duo.

Xiao Duo understood and walked towards Princess Changping.

His steps made Princess Changping stumble back two steps, "Cousin!"

Xiao Duo just looked at her coldly, "Give me the hairpin."

Princess Changping tightened her hands behind her back and forced a smile at Xiao Duo, saying, "Cousin, I haven't found my hairpin either."

"I don't want to do it."

Xiao Duo said word by word: "Give it to me!"

Princess Changping shuddered all over and handed over the hairpin tremblingly.

Taking the hairpin, Xiao Duo lowered his eyes and saw the bloodstains that had obviously dried on the hairpin. He glanced coldly at Princess Changping, then turned around and walked back to Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine only took one look at the hairpin and understood what was going on, "Changping! I have spoiled you to the point of becoming more and more rampant. How dare you hurt someone in the palace!"

Princess Changping's legs softened and she knelt straight down, "My Lady Imperial Concubine!"

"You don't have to come to the palace again these days. Stay in seclusion in your mansion for a month and reflect on your mistakes. Copy the Diamond Sutra for me three thousand times and send it to the Buddhist temple!"

Princess Changping raised her head in disbelief. She didn't expect that Concubine Xian would really punish her. "My Lady Concubine Xian!"

The virtuous concubine looked at her coldly, "Why don't you leave? Do you think you didn't copy enough?!"

"I dare not! Changping accepts the punishment!" Princess Changping kowtowed quickly, was helped up by Xiao Cui, and fled from the pool in a panic!

At this time, Concubine Xian looked at Su Jinyue carefully and sized her up. "You two quarreled in the palace and even started fighting and hurt the little princess. You will also be punished!"

Su Jinyue said: "It is my fault that I failed to protect the little princess. I am willing to be punished."

Hearing that Su Jinyue was going to be punished, Yuzhu anxiously grabbed her clothes tightly!

"Ah!" Yuzhu shook her head, not wanting Su Jinyue to be punished.

"Aunt, if Miss Su hadn't been here to protect Yuzhu today, something might have happened to her." Xiao Duo said calmly.

The virtuous concubine was still a little hesitant, and she intended to use this incident to give Su Jinyue a good warning.

"No! Punishment!"

Yuzhu's round cheeks turned red, and she grabbed Su Jinyue's clothes and said two words with difficulty!

This time, not only Concubine Xian was shocked, even Xiao Duo looked at Yuzhu with a surprised expression.

Su Jinyue lowered her head and looked at the little guy, with a look of surprise on her face, "You can talk now?!"

Concubine Xian stepped forward and held Yuzhu in her arms, carefully touching her face, "Zhu'er, say a few more words!"

Yuzhu opened her mouth slightly, "Ahh."

The virtuous concubine was so anxious that she almost cried, "My Zhu'er was able to speak just now!"

The maids on both sides of her hurriedly supported Concubine Xian and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much!"

With some confidence in her heart, Su Jinyue knelt down to Concubine Xian, "Your Majesty, I may be able to cure the little princess's muteness!"
