Chapter 307 I want justice for Xiao Ba
Liang Zhirou deliberately put on a forbearing expression and said timidly: "Your Highness, you just kicked us without knowing the truth."
"We haven't said anything yet, but you are holding on to us and accusing us of bullying the Eighth Prince."
"Even if you are a princess, the golden branch and jade leaf of Daxia, you can't bully others like this!"
[Fuck! I underestimated these two little grandchildren. I didn't expect that they were so bad and scheming at such a young age! ]
Xia Miaoyuan became even more angry.
[No, I can't fall for their tricks and I can't get angry and impulsive again. ]
Xia Miaoyuan's brain was working quickly, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
At this time, Nanny Li, who was always gentle, couldn't help but speak: "Miss Feng, Miss Liang, although Her Royal Highness the Princess is young, she is a princess after all, you should be respectful when talking to her."
"You are the princess's companions. The princess and the companion are the monarch and the minister. You should always remember the proper respect and inferiority. Don't lose your sense of proportion just because the princess is easy-going."
"Are you doing this today to bully the princess's young age, violate the ancestral etiquette, and disregard the hierarchy?"
Although Nanny Li's tone was still gentle, she grasped the key point in her words.
There was a strong power in the gentleness.
Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou were stunned immediately, obviously shocked.
[Ha! Nanny Li is so awesome today! 】
【I have to stay calm and be rational! No matter what happens today, I must support Xiao Ba. 】
【Not only must justice be sought, but the humiliation Xiao Ba suffered must be returned tenfold or a hundredfold! 】
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan's mood has stabilized a lot.
"Feng Bandu, Liang Bandu, this princess now orders you to stop! You are not allowed to leave!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted in a baby voice.
Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou exchanged glances silently, with a somewhat tangled look.
"What? Are you going to disobey this princess's order?"
"You are this princess's companions, you should obey this princess!"
Xia Miaoyuan's tone was firm, but her eyes were fierce on her childish face.
Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou argued for a long time, but in the end, they were afraid of their status and did not dare to leave without permission. They just stood there with their eyes downcast.
[If you want to prove that Xiao Ba was bullied by them, you need evidence, and one of the keys is Xiao Ba's statement.]
[But why didn't Xiao Ba say that Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou bullied him?]
Xia Miaoyuan bit her lower lip and frowned as she thought.
[Because of face? Or...]
At this moment, a sentence flashed through her mind.
[Yes! At that time, I heard a sentence, 'Now the emperor and the queen don't care whether you live or die!']
[It seems that Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou frightened Xiao Ba, making him misunderstand that his father and mother would be angry with him because of Lipin's mistakes. ]
[In the deep palace, intrigues and flattery of the powerful are common. It is normal for Xiao Ba to believe what they said. ]
[Oh, I am, why didn't I think of this earlier! ]
[But Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, you are too stupid! ]
[If it was another emperor or empress, it would be possible for them to ignore the children of the convicted concubines and be angry and hate them. But how could our father do such a thing? ]
[You have grown up under your father's lap until you are almost six years old, you really don't understand your father at all! ]
The eighth prince lowered his eyes and listened to Xia Miaoyuan's voice. When he heard the last two sentences, his eyes suddenly lit up.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan squatted in front of the Eighth Prince again and said softly: "Eighth brother, no matter what they said to you just now, don't believe it!"
"Your mother is convicted, that is her business, it has nothing to do with you, you are just a child."
"Father and mother will not be angry with you because of her business!"
The Eighth Prince's eyes flashed with tears: "Ninth sister, are you telling the truth?"
"Little fool, think about it, if father was angry with you, why didn't he just throw you into the cold palace?"
"Why did he keep you in Empress Lu's palace?"
When the Eighth Prince heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in his clear eyes.
Yes, he remembered. He had heard historical stories from his brothers. When a concubine was convicted and sent to the cold palace, her child was also taken to the cold palace. The emperor let the child die on his own and didn't care whether he lived or died.
Oh, I am so stupid! I am not as clear as my ninth sister who is two years younger than me.
Thinking of this, the tear-stained face of the eighth prince brightened up.
"Ninth sister, I understand. I will tell the truth now!"
At this time, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
Xia Miaoyuan and others looked towards the source of the sound.
"Little princess, are you in there?" Yingxue's voice came .
Xia Miaoyuan's heart jumped, [Could it be that mother came to find us? ]
"I'm here! Yingxue, we are here!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted hurriedly.
In a blink of an eye, Yingxue ran into the lilac forest.
A little palace maid followed behind Yingxue. Xia Miaoyuan took a closer look and found that it was Fu'er.
[I was wondering why Fu'er suddenly disappeared halfway. It turns out that she went back to get help!]
Xia Miaoyuan glanced at Li Ma as if she had suddenly realized something. Li Ma smiled and nodded at her.
[Good Li Ma, knowing that she is soft-hearted, she must be worried that she can't protect me and that I will suffer, so she secretly sent Fu'er to report the news.]
For a moment, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't stop praising Li Ma's wit in her heart.
"Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Eighth Prince, and the two study companions, you are all here! That's great!" Yingxue hurriedly saluted the two princes.
"Follow me quickly, the Queen is here, and she is waiting in the Zhonghe Hall now."
[Great! The Queen Mother is here!] Xia Miaoyuan was overjoyed.
Xia Miaoyuan took the Eighth Prince's hand and walked out of the forest.
Looking at Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou again, their faces were pale and red, which was extremely ugly.
The two of them looked at each other for a few times, and exchanged glances, but both of them were helpless. Under Yingxue's urging, they still reluctantly went to Zhonghe Hall.
In the main hall of Zhonghe Hall, the Empress was sitting upright on the armchair with her hands hanging down.
"Mother!" Xia Miaoyuan jumped up happily when he saw the Empress.
"Greetings to Mother!"
"Greetings to the Empress!"
The Eighth Prince and his two companions saluted the Empress one after another.
"Stand up!" The Queen said lightly.
"Miao'er, you stand with them." The Queen pulled Xia Miaoyuan up beside her.
Xia Miaoyuan immediately understood that the Queen was going to ask her questions clearly, so she stood obediently beside the Eighth Prince.
Feng Manman rubbed the corner of her clothes a little at a loss, her brows full of fear, while Liang Zhirou suppressed her fear and tried to stand respectfully and naturally.
"Tell me, what happened just now?" The Queen's tone was still light.
At this time, Liang Zhirou's feet suddenly went soft and she fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" Liang Zhirou covered her calf and frowned.
