Tingyu knelt down and cried, "When the princess was selling talismans earlier, the maidservant beside the third lady of Prince Zhao's mansion suddenly pulled out a dagger and attacked the princess. Fortunately, the princess was very capable and dodged the assassination and subdued the maidservant."
She was now terrified whenever she thought about it. When she saw the maid pulling out a dagger and attacking Wei Fu, she was so frightened that her heart was broken.
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao rushed to the maid and slapped her twice, cursing angrily, "You bitch, why did you try to kill the princess?"
"Hasn't our Zhaowang Mansion treated you well? Why do you want to harm our Zhaowang Mansion like this?"
The maid sneered and said, "Haha... Princess, do you still think that Prince Zhao's Mansion treats me well and treats our Third Young Miss well?"
"The princess is probably hoping that our Third Miss will die!"
Princess Zhao looked at the third young lady fiercely, raised her hand to hit her, and cursed: "You bitch, you bitch, are you going to kill the Zhao Palace?"
Wei Fu broke free from Princess Yahe's embrace, raised his hand to grab Princess Zhao's wrist, frowned and said, "Aren't you a bit too smart?"
"And why are you speaking so harshly? You're calling me a bitch, a slut! Aren't you a princess? Aren't princesses said to be well-mannered? Why are you cursing like the old lady at the village entrance?"
Princess Zhao was furious. If she hadn't been concerned about Wei Fu's identity, she would have kicked her out. However, because of Wei Fu's status, she had to suppress her temper and explain, "My princess, you don't know, this girl is a concubine and has always been restless. The maid who wanted to assassinate you was also her maid. If this maid didn't act on her orders, why would she attack you, my princess?"
"Except for the master, everyone entering the palace must be searched and is not allowed to bring daggers into the palace. However, this maid used a dagger to hurt you, my princess, which means someone helped her hide the dagger."
Seeing that her stepmother didn't believe her and was even throwing dirty water on her, Meng Sang, the third daughter of Prince Zhao's mansion, smiled bleakly, knelt out, and kowtowed deeply to the Queen Mother and the Empress. "I was indeed the one who helped bring this dagger in. Xue'er said the palace was dangerous and I needed to carry a dagger for self-defense."
"It was my first time in the palace, and I didn't know what the situation was like there, so I believed her and hid the dagger in my boot."
"But I certainly didn't instruct her to kill the princess. Please believe me, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Empress."
She looked at Wei Fu: "Please also believe me, Sister Fu'er."
Wei Fu nodded: "I believe you. If this maid really wanted to do good for you, she wouldn't have said those words just now. It's obvious that she was trying to frame you."
Meng Sang looked at Wei Fu with gratitude, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Thank you, Sister Fu'er, for believing in me."
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Zhao and said with some dissatisfaction, "Princess Zhao, I know you are dissatisfied with them, but no matter what, you cannot confuse right and wrong! If I hear you call the women of the royal family bitches again, I will have a serious talk with Prince Zhao."
Princess Zhao quickly knelt down and confessed her crime.
The Queen Mother said to Eunuch Zhao beside her, "Take this maid away and interrogate her to find out who ordered this."
Although Princess Zhao was scolded by the Queen Mother, she was secretly relieved. As long as the Queen Mother did not suspect their Zhao Palace, it was good. She originally thought that bringing Meng Sang into the palace would make her less worried, but unexpectedly such a thing happened. If she had known earlier, she might as well have let Tong'er enter the palace.
After something like this happened, the Princess of Qi and the others couldn't stay any longer and left with their children. Wei Fu sighed, "Fu'er hasn't even had time to play with her brothers and sisters, and they're already gone."
The Queen Mother coaxed her: "Wait a few days, Grandma, can you let them come in and play with Fuer?"
Wei Fu could only nod.
Before lunch, Eunuch Zhao pried open the maid's mouth and revealed that her assassination of Wei Fu was indeed not ordered by Meng Sang or anyone from Prince Zhao's Mansion, but by her master. She was their master's secret agent planted in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
But she didn't know who her master was and had never seen her master.
She didn't know how to contact her master, and this was the first time she had received a mission in all these years.
The Queen gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Some people think Fu'er is blocking their way. It's us who have implicated Fu'er."
She hugged Wei Fu in her arms with a guilty conscience.
Yes, but in just two days, she recovered from being a queen who needed help to walk to being able to hold Wei Fu in her arms.
They wanted to harm the emperor, harm her, and harm the prince. These people must be aiming for this position in the royal family. Fu'er's return exposed those people's plans, and they couldn't wait to get rid of Fu'er.
Seeing the queen sad, Wei Fu also felt sad. She patted the queen's back and said softly to comfort her, "It's not your aunt who has implicated Fu'er. It's those people who are mean."
"If a bad guy wants to harm Fu'er's relatives, Fu'er will naturally not stand idly by. Family members should support and help each other! So, aunt, there is no need to blame yourself or feel sad."
When the queen heard the sweet words from the little guy, her heart melted and she couldn't help but kiss Wei Fu on the forehead. She didn't know how to express her love for him.
The Crown Prince and the Emperor also received the news that Wei Fu had been assassinated. The father and son were originally handling official business together, and they rushed over immediately after hearing the news. The weather was hot, and they walked quickly, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
After drinking a cup of tea, the emperor took Wei Fu from the queen's hand, and imitated Tao Zhiping's usual way of holding her up high. He lifted Wei Fu up and took a look at her. Seeing that she was unharmed and not frightened, he felt relieved.
He praised: "Uncle heard that Fu'er subdued the criminals. Fu'er is so brave and amazing."
Wei Fu raised his chin proudly and said happily, "Fu'er also felt that he was very brave and powerful. At that time, Sister Tingyu and Eunuch Li were scared to death. Meng Xingjun was scared and cried, but Fu'er was not afraid and did not cry~~~"
"That little weakling like that maid wouldn't be afraid of ten helpers."
The little person was making bold statements, and his appearance made the adults in the room smile. The prince came over, and a smile spread across his cold face. "I heard that Fu'er subdued the enemy with just one move?"
Wei Fu puffed out her chest and told the prince how she defeated the enemy with one move.
The prince applauded enthusiastically after hearing this and said with admiration, "Fu'er is truly resourceful and intelligent, and his martial arts skills are so powerful that he was able to escape danger. If an ordinary child encountered such a situation, I'm afraid they wouldn't know how to react."
The emperor rolled his dead eyes and looked at his eldest son. Aren’t you going for the cold and serious style?
How did it become like this now?
