The maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they ran away everywhere, not to mention helping Concubine Xue to drive away the bees.

No matter where Concubine Xue hid, the bees would follow her and bite her.

Qin Xiao waited until the bees had stung enough before he led his men forward, drove away the bees, and then took Concubine Xue to see the master.

At this time, Concubine Xue was so scared that she lost her soul. When Qin Xiao saved her, she thought it was Xiao Jinyan who asked him to come. She cried with joy.

"Guard Qin, quickly call the imperial physician over. My face is full of damn bees. How dare they sting me?"

Qin Xiao said coldly: "The imperial physician should wait, the master wants to see Concubine Xue now, there is something important."

Even without looking in the mirror, Concubine Xue knew that her face must be disfigured and she looked very embarrassed. She couldn't go to see Xiao Jinyan in such an embarrassed state.

"I can't go see His Highness like this. Tell His Highness that I was stung by a bee and I will see him after I recover."

"That's not up to you." Qin Xiao ordered: "Take her to see the master."

Concubine Xue was held by two guards, one on each side. As a weak woman, she couldn't break free at all. She glared at Qin Xiao angrily, "How dare you, a mere guard, lay hands on this princess?"

Qin Xiao snorted: "Why not? As long as the master says so, I dare to kill you now."

Concubine Xue was stunned when she heard this and was frightened.

Qin Xiao didn't waste time talking to her and took her to the Hehuan Palace.

Xiao Jinyan stood under the porch, lowering his eyes to look at Concubine Xue. He saw that her pretty face was covered with red spots, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were untidy. How could she look like a princess?

Qin Xiao stepped forward and saluted: "Master, Concubine Xue is here."

Concubine Xue was forced to kneel on the ground by the guards. She pointed at Qin Xiao angrily and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, you have to make a decision for me. How dare Qin Xiao treat me like this?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her like that, not hiding the disgust in his eyes at all: "Concubine Xue, you plotted to murder my offspring, and you still want me to make the decision for you? I wish I could execute you right now."

Concubine Xue was shocked. How could Xiao Jinyan know that she wanted to kill the Crown Princess's child? She pretended to be calm and retorted, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that? How could I, a concubine, murder your heir?"

Xiao Jinyan threw the confession in his hand in front of Concubine Xue, "Take a look for yourself."

Concubine Xue looked at the confession on the ground, picked it up in confusion, and after reading it, her face turned pale. Shui Yao betrayed herself? This is impossible.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, this confession must be false. How could I be so vicious? Someone must have deliberately framed me."

"You dare to quibble when you are about to die?" Xiao Jinyan didn't waste any words with her and shouted angrily: "Someone, bring Shuiyao up."

The guards brought Shui Yao up.

When Concubine Xue saw Shuiyao, she shouted angrily, "Shuiyao, how dare you slander me? Who gave you the courage?"

Shui Yao knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, I dare not slander you."

Concubine Xue snorted complacently: "You don't have the guts to do that."

"Your Highness, I did not slander the princess. It was indeed the princess who ordered me to kill the young masters. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred times the courage, I would not dare to murder the royal heir." Shui Yao said tremblingly. She felt pain and itchiness on her body, as if she was being bitten by countless insects.

"What did you say?" Concubine Xue was so angry that she slapped him twice. "How dare you, a little maid, slander this princess? Who gave you the courage?"

Xiao Jinyan shouted angrily, "That's enough, Concubine Xue. The evidence is here, and you are still trying to argue? The East Palace cannot tolerate a vicious woman like you. A woman like you who is as vicious as a snake should be cut into pieces."

Concubine Xue was completely panicked when she heard this. Thinking of her backer, she pretended to be calm and said, "Your Highness, you can't treat me like this. I am a princess of a country. The Snow Moon Country is behind me..."

Xiao Jinyan interrupted her coldly, "So what if you are the princess of Xueyue Country? When you enter Daxia, you should abide by the etiquette and rules of Daxia and the rules and laws of the palace. If you dare to murder the heir to the throne, it is not too much to kill you."

Concubine Xue looked at the cold-blooded Xiao Jinyan and retorted: "Your Highness, aren't the Crown Princess' children fine? Why do you want to punish me so severely if they are fine? If Your Highness kills me, the Snow Moon Kingdom will definitely not let Da Xia off easily..."

"Pah pah" Concubine Xue's cheek swelled up instantly.

Xiao Jinyan clenched his fists, his eyes were cold and murderous: "You are not worthy of being a human being."

Concubine Xue covered her face and said angrily, "I am not worthy of being a human being? What about His Highness? I have been married into the East Palace and have never been to a bedchamber. I also want to have children and experience the joy of having children, but has Your Highness given me a chance?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "Before you married into the East Palace, I told you clearly that even if you married into the East Palace, I would not like you. If I don't like you, why would I touch you?"

Concubine Xue was stunned.

The Queen Mother just walked to the door of Hehuan Palace when she heard the Prince's words and frowned.

Wanxin supported the empress dowager and looked at the prince standing in the corridor. Even from such a distance, she could feel the cold-blooded aura emanating from him.

She retracted her gaze and said gently, "Queen Mother, I will help you in."

The Queen Mother nodded.

I didn’t see Taotao and Susu yesterday, so the Queen Mother came today. I didn’t expect to see this scene.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." As the eunuch shouted, everyone looked over.

When Xiao Jinyan saw the queen mother coming, he stepped forward to greet her: "The royal grandson pays his respects to the royal grandmother."

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xue who was kneeling on the ground and asked the Crown Prince, "What happened?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xue has tried to poison the heir to the throne several times. The evidence is irrefutable, but Concubine Xue is arrogant and refuses to admit her mistakes."

The Queen Mother had lived to such an old age and had seen too many intrigues and various means of winning favor in the palace. "How foolish! How could she do such a thing?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Grandma, my father doesn't know yet, I will inform him right away."

He turned around and told Liu Xi to tell the emperor.

The emperor's message came quickly from the imperial study.

In the study

The Emperor and the Queen Mother sat on the throne together.

Xiao Jinyan explained the whole process, "Father, Concubine Xue is as vicious as a snake. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong, the consequences would have been disastrous."

When the emperor learned how Concubine Xue poisoned Taotao and Susu, he was furious. "Concubine Xue, you are a princess of a country after all. How can you be so vicious? I finally had a granddaughter, but she was almost lost because of your jealousy. I shouldn't have agreed to your marriage. This is not a marriage, it's revenge."

When Concubine Xue saw that the emperor was so angry, she realized that she was really in trouble this time.

"Your Majesty, I was confused for the moment. I will definitely change my ways in the future. Please spare my life."

Xiao Jinyan was afraid that the emperor would be concerned about the Xueyue Kingdom, so he suggested, "Father, such a scheming and vicious person cannot be kept."

Concubine Xue now clearly realized that Xiao Jinyan wanted to kill her. She was a princess after all! "Your Highness, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? Aren't you afraid of angering the Snow Moon Kingdom?"

Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Isn't it just the Xueyue Kingdom? Since Daxia can defeat Xueyue once, it can defeat Xueyue Kingdom again. At that time, I will personally lead the army to fight. How can my great Daxia be afraid of Xueyue Kingdom?"

The emperor also felt that the prince's words made sense. He glared at Concubine Xue and said, "Concubine Xue's crime of poisoning the heir to the throne is unforgivable. You are demoted to Zhaoshun and sent to the cold palace. You are not allowed to leave the cold palace without my order."

Concubine Xue immediately collapsed to the ground.

For Xiao Jinyan, being banished to the cold palace was too easy for Concubine Xue, but he didn't say anything. After she was sent to the cold palace, he had plenty of ways to make Concubine Xue's life a living hell.

This is the consequence of touching his reverse scale! Xueyan was dragged away by the guards and locked up in the cold palace.

When Shui Yao saw the princess being locked up in the cold palace, she cried and begged to be allowed to leave the palace.

"Your Highness, I have said everything I should say. Please let me leave the palace." Shui Yao said while kowtowing continuously.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shui Yao. The saying "like master, like servant" is absolutely true. Shui Yao is also as vicious as a snake.

"I have not promised to let you leave the palace. Saving your life is already a great favor."

Shui Yao knew she couldn't leave the palace, so she had to settle for the next best thing, "Then where will Your Highness arrange for me to work?"

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "You were originally Princess Xueyan's personal maid, so you must continue to serve her. Otherwise, with your vicious heart, who would dare to keep you by their side?"

When Shui Yao heard that she was going to serve the princess in the cold palace, she knew that there was no way out for her and that she would be tortured to death if she didn't die of old age.

"Your Highness, I don't want to go to the cold palace. Please arrange another errand for me."

Xiao Jinyan ignored Shui Yao and said, "Qin Xiao, take her away."

"I obey your command." Qin Xiao called two guards and took Shui Yao to the cold palace.

In the golden autumn of October, the weather is still a bit hot.

However, the cold palace is located in a remote area, with towering trees that block out the sun, making it cool and a bit eerie.

The palace lanterns on both sides of the road have fallen into disrepair, and the palace walls are covered with green plants.

Qin Xiao brought Shui Yao to the gate of the cold palace and pushed Shui Yao in.

Shui Yao got up from the ground, looked at the gloomy and terrifying harem, and started crying in fear.

The guard shouted angrily: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go see your princess?"

Shui Yao was driven by the guards to the palace where Xue Yan lived. Although it was called a palace, it was actually in ruins and spider webs could be seen everywhere.

Concubine Xue vented her anger in the room and smashed the only teacup.

"Xiao Jinyan, how dare you do this to me? I'm a princess, how dare you? My father will not let you go."

At this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open.

Concubine Xue raised her head and saw Shui Yao, her eyes full of anger: "How dare you come here, you slut?"

"You two have a deep bond as master and servant. The master specially asked Shuiyao to serve you. You don't need to thank him. You two can just catch up on the past."

After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he took his people away.

Shui Yao looked at Xue Yan's angry eyes and subconsciously took a step back, "Princess, I had no choice but to do this."
