"Are you crazy? How dare you say that in public? If the Emperor hears about it, the entire palace will be buried with him!"
As soon as he entered the house, King Jiangnan immediately said in a bad mood.
The princess sat there, wiping away her tears.
"Was I wrong? Isn't she a troublemaker? Didn't my niece marry into her family? But what happened? This noble lady from a high-class family was brutally murdered by the Emperor because of her bewitching him. He even ordered her to be beheaded and her body abandoned on the streets of the capital! When my elder sister heard about this, she fainted on the spot and was ill for several months!"
When the King of Jiangnan heard her mention this, he fell silent.
His first wife had long since passed away.
The current princess, Wang, was married as a concubine, and she was the second daughter of the eldest son of the Langya Wang family, the most prestigious and top family in Jiangnan. She was only in her early forties.
Zhao Qiqi was born to this princess.
As for the niece she mentioned, she was her biological sister, Du Lian, the daughter of Wang Ru, the eldest daughter of the Langya Wang family. She was married to the younger brother of the God of War Su Liao, who was Xiao Shuangbao's uncle.
When Xiao Shuangbao's aunt, Mrs. Du, died tragically, Mrs. Du knew that it was her fault that she had angered the emperor, and she did not dare to ask for revenge. She secretly sent someone to bring back Mrs. Du's body and endured it in silence.
Because of this incident, the princess felt very resentful towards the emperor.
She didn't dare to really hate the emperor, and only placed all her hatred on Xiao Shuangbao.
In addition, this time Xiao Shuangbao caused her youngest daughter Zhao Qiqi to vomit blood and be punished. Now, the princess's hatred for Xiao Shuangbao has soared to the extreme.
"I understand the Emperor's ways. He would never punish others for selfish reasons. I think your niece, Madam Du, must have made some mistake that angered the Emperor, leading to his execution."
At this time, King Jiangnan listened to his wife say this, and he still defended Emperor Cheng Xuan.
"Hehe, she's just a woman, what could she have done wrong? Is the Emperor so cruel that he wouldn't even spare the child in her belly? The person who brought back the news said that the child in Lian'er's belly wasn't born at all. Instead, the Emperor ordered someone to forcibly dig it out and throw the unborn fetus away."
The princess' words were filled with resentment.
"We are so far away from each other that we don't know what happened. In short, even if you have resentment in your heart, don't speak it out and harm everyone in the palace, unless you are sure that you can get justice for your niece."
King Jiangnan said this and walked away.
As soon as he left, Zhang came in and said, "Princess, are we going to let the little princess come and go freely in the backyard of our palace from now on?"
"Let her do what she wants? Haha, a powerful dragon can't defeat a local snake! Don't think that just because you enter the palace, you can really feel like you're at home!"
The princess smiled coldly, with a sinister look in her eyes.
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao had collected almost all the ghosts along the way.
The more she collected, the worse her mood became.
"There are quite a few skilled ghosts in this palace. Judging from their attire, most of them are servants in the palace, especially young maids."
Xiao Shuangbao frowned and said with some confusion.
However, Jing Gan and Jing Yuan looked at each other and knew what was going on.
The palace is the maternal home of the two brothers, so logically, they should be very close.
But after their experiences in their previous lives, the two brothers no longer had any hope for their maternal grandparents' home. If they continued like this, this palace would no longer be a relative to them, but a burden.
It would be better to use my father's help to clean up this palace this time.
As the two were thinking this, they followed Xiao Shuangbao to another yard.
Before they could follow in, a little maid covered in blood suddenly ran out!
"Help! Help!"
The little maidservant was crying and shouting. Just as she ran to the gate of the courtyard, she was grabbed by two servants and pressed to the ground. Her pretty little face, covered with tear marks, happened to hit a stone, which immediately scratched her cheek and stained it with new blood.
"stop!"
Seeing this, Xiao Shuangbao immediately spoke out to stop it.
When the two servants first saw her, they never thought that she was the little princess who came to the palace today. They only saw that she was dressed up pretty, with a pair of big watery eyes and a lovely appearance. They thought she was a young lady from another courtyard in the palace and did not take her seriously at all.
The two of them didn't even look at Xiao Shuangbao, and they took the little maid and went back into the house.
"Stop! The princess said stop! Didn't you hear me?!"
When Xiao Shuangbao saw that the maid's face was covered in blood, he immediately shouted anxiously again.
"Where did you come from, little girl? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Second Young Master's courtyard? Are you tired of living?"
Because the little maid was crying and shouting, the servant didn't hear Xiao Shuangbao's words clearly at all. He was still waiting to take the little maid back to the house to report, so he left after saying this.
The next moment.
The two servants were suddenly kicked hard in the back, and they staggered forward and fell to the ground, landing hard on the ground!
But it was Chen Cao who made the move swiftly.
After kicking the two, he rescued the little maid who was covered in wounds.
"Are you looking for death?"
The two servants got up from the ground and tried to snatch the person away.
This time, Chen Cao was even more ruthless. He kicked one of them again, causing them to fall to the ground again. This time, they fainted and lost consciousness.
With such a loud noise in the yard, it was impossible for it not to be heard in the house.
Xiao Shuangbao didn't care about so many things for the time being, and hurriedly fed the medicine that the ugly concubine gave her to the little maid.
As soon as the medicine entered her mouth, the pain in the little maid's body was immediately relieved a lot.
Xiao Shuangbao was about to ask her what happened and why she was so seriously injured. At this moment, the curtain in the room sounded and a drunk man appeared, swinging a whip in his hand.
With a "pop" sound.
The little maid was so frightened that her whole body shrank again!
Now, without the maid telling her, Xiao Shuangbao immediately understood that she was beaten by this young man!
Xiao Shuangbao met the eldest son of King Jiangnan during the day.
Now, when he saw this drunk young man holding a whip, he immediately realized that he was not the handsome eldest son of King Jiangnan, but he looked somewhat similar, especially to Zhao Qiqi.
"He is Zhao Qiqi's biological brother, Zhao Huan."
At this time, Jing Gan whispered beside him.
He said nothing else.
For example, Zhao Huan loved to abuse little maids the most, and no one knew how many he beat to death every year.
