When the palace curfew was approaching, Lord Duan stood up, said goodbye, and left the palace with his two children.

Emperor Shangwen was worried that the Queen would be frightened, so he stayed with her tonight.

It was not until the next morning that Emperor Shangwen left Fengyi Palace.

But Queen Duan didn't know that when the little princess came back, rumors began to spread in the palace. No one knew who started the rumor, saying that the little princess was a disaster and almost killed the eldest prince.

Some people even spread rumors that the frequent disappearances of young girls in the capital were due to the little princess. After all, the capital is a place where the aura of true dragons gathers, so how could such a tragic thing happen?

Of course, a disaster had befallen the world, causing the once blessed Yuqing Temple to suffer a devastating disaster.

Regarding the rumors, some people believed them and some did not, but these rumors spread to the court.

Prime Minister Lu's followers began to take advantage of the situation and framed the little baby girl as an unforgivable criminal.

The next day, when Xiao Ruyu opened her eyes, she heard the maids whispering outside the princess's palace.

"The princess was only a few days old when something serious happened in the palace. First, the little prince was poisoned and almost switched, and then the eldest prince was beaten. Tsk tsk, the princess is not even a month old yet, and she's already so powerful."

"Who says it's not true? I heard that the eldest prince almost lost his life."

…

Eleven had very good hearing and obviously heard the palace maids' whispers.

He threw the blade in his hand in the direction of the voice. The two palace maids were talking happily when suddenly a dagger appeared in front of them. They were almost scared to death.

The dagger was just an inch away from piercing their arms. When the maid in the pink palace skirt saw who had thrown the dagger, she looked displeased.

"How dare you, a child, throw a dagger in the Queen's palace? If you disturb the Queen and the Princess, what will be your punishment?"

Eleven glanced at the maid coldly and said in a deep voice, "I just heard you say bad things about the princess. If you are rude again, I will tell the queen."

The pink-clad palace maid had never seen Eleven before, she only knew that there was a new little guard in the princess's palace. She looked at Eleven with a sneer and snorted coldly.

"Who are you? Will the Queen trust you?"

After saying that, he turned around and left triumphantly.

Eleven had very good hearing and he heard what the purple-robed palace maid said to the pink-robed palace maid.

"Chun'er, why bother with him?"

"That's right. Only this young boy treats the little princess as a treasure. I would throw this disaster-star little princess away even if I gave her to him."

Xiao Ruyu happened to hear the palace maid's complaints.

Just now she had been sensing her own spiritual power and found that the more Duan Cen was around, the more abundant her spiritual power would become.

So he made up his mind. It seems that he will have to rely on Xiao Eleven in the future so that his spiritual power can recover faster.

[This little palace maid actually dared to curse me in secret. I will complain to my mother when she comes! ]

Xiao Ruyu silently records the grudge in her little notebook!

Eleven heard the little princess' voice and quickly walked to her side.

The wet nurse was not there, but there was still some milk, so she took some and fed it to Xiao Ruyu.

“Gurgle gurgle…”

The little princess was drinking milk. She had originally felt a little hungry, but now her stomach was filled.

Queen Duan walked in from outside the palace and couldn't help but smile as she saw how Eleven was getting along with the little princess.

Eleven came to the palace and got along well with Yu'er. She often asked Eleven to hug her. Queen Duan said that she was a little envious.

"Eleven, lunch in the imperial kitchen is ready. You go and eat first. The two young masters of the Duan family will go to accompany the eldest prince to study, and you can go with them."

The Queen's voice was very gentle. As Duan Cen listened, he felt inexplicably warm in his heart. He nodded and said obediently.

"Eleven understands. Thank you, Queen."

With that, Eleven left.

Xiao Ruyu was reluctant to look at the direction where Eleven left, and secretly said in his heart, I hope his spiritual power bag doesn't run too far!

"Yu'er is very well behaved today. She doesn't cry or make a fuss. How about going to see your eldest brother later?"

Xiao Ruyu snorted, which was considered as agreement.

[Mother, my eldest brother is injured, and some people are making up stories about my daughter being a disaster. If I go to visit him, I don’t know how she will be portrayed.]

[I am not a disaster star, Daddy said, I am a lucky star! ]

Queen Duan's expression changed slightly. She remembered that after she gave birth, Concubine Li wanted to secretly frame her, but was outwitted.

At that time, Concubine Li tried to throw dirty water on Yu'er, saying that she was a disaster star.

Within four or five days, rumors began to spread inside and outside the palace.

Many people fabricated stories that her Yu'er was a disaster star, and the rumors became more and more serious, to the point where they were out of control.

Queen Duan realized that someone wanted to ruin Yu'er's reputation. Although she had sent people to trace the source, gossip could easily destroy gold, and Yu'er would probably be framed when she grew up.

"Yu'er is my lucky little star. If it weren't for Yu'er, how could I have survived safely after giving birth?"

[Empress Li has been sent to the cold palace, and her father has also been confined to his house. Yet, they still have the ability to discredit me. It seems that Concubine Li has a lot of helpers. I am really worried about my mother...]

[And the maid named Chun'er, she was sent by Concubine Li to spread rumors! She used to be Concubine Li's person. ]

Queen Duan listened to the little princess's thoughts and had already thought about how to solve the matter.

Chun'er, right? This palace maid can never leave the palace safely.

She immediately asked the head maid in the palace, Madam Cui, to come, and then invited a maid named Chun'er.

When the pink-dressed maid was brought to Fengyi Palace, her face looked gloomy and unclear, and it was unclear whether she was guilty or afraid.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. Long live Her Majesty."

Chun'er's figure trembled. The queen was always kind and would never be so cold and harsh. Could it be that she knew something...

Come to think of it, she was just arguing with the young guard just now, there was no chance that the Queen would hold a grudge against her.

"Blessing? I can't afford your so-called blessing."

Chun Er quickly said, "I don't know what your Majesty means, please speak frankly."

"How dare you, a palace maid, to slander the princess's reputation in secret? Your Majesty dislikes secretive talk the most. How dare you secretly say that the princess is a disaster?"

Chun'er was extremely scared. She had been a secret agent arranged by Concubine Li in Fengyi Palace for several years.

I didn't expect that the Queen would catch me today. It was really a mistake.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, madam!"

Chun'er is so smart. Queen Duan spoke so harshly probably because she knew what she had done, so it would be better for her to admit her mistake directly.

Empress Duan said to Madam Cui in a cold voice, "Chun'er did not follow the palace rules and secretly plotted against her master. She will be severely punished with fifty strokes of the cane as a warning to others. After the punishment, she will be sent away from Fengyi Palace. This palace will not tolerate any sand in her eyes."

Fifty lashes...

Chun'er was completely frightened. She was only nineteen years old and would get married in the future. If she was beaten with a stick, she was afraid that her legs would be broken and she might not be able to marry into a good family after leaving the palace.

Madam Cui said respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
