Chapter 310: Evildoers will be punished

Nanny Liu was almost dragged by Yingxue to the Empress.

"Greetings to the Empress!" Nanny Liu's voice was trembling.

At this time, the sedan chair had not left yet, but stopped at the gate of Zhonghe Hall. Xia Miaoyuan and the Eighth Prince were sitting in the sedan chair.

Xia Miaoyuan lifted the small curtain on the side and looked at Nanny Liu.

[This nanny looks like someone who is not easy to get along with. Thinking back to the look she gave the Eighth Prince at the palace banquet, she couldn't hide her disgust. ]

[The Eighth Prince was alone in the lilac forest, being bullied by Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou for so long, but this nanny didn't even notice it. She must have been sneaky. 】

Xia Miaoyuan thought of this, and heard the queen ask: "Madame Liu, the Eighth Prince left the table, why didn't you follow him closely?"

Madame Liu hurriedly explained, "I followed the Eighth Prince at first, but later, he said he wanted to stay alone for a while, so I left."

【Is this fooling a fool? 】

【Even if the Eighth Prince really said he wanted to stay alone for a while, as a close servant, he would not go too far away. 】

【What's more, the Eighth Prince is just a child under six years old. 】

【If he is a responsible person, he will definitely stay nearby and will not go far. 】

【If she is really loyal to the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Brother will not have suffered today. 】

The queen listened to her daughter's voice and nodded secretly.

The Eighth Prince's mind flashed back to what Nanny Liu did to him after he left the table, and he bit his lip in hatred.

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "You are talking nonsense!"

Nanny Liu was startled when she heard the familiar voice.

The Eighth Prince lifted the curtain and walked out. On her tender face, her eyes stared at Nanny Liu sharply, which made Nanny Liu shudder.

"Mother! Nanny Liu has been treating me badly since she followed me. She was better in front of Empress Lu, but she doesn't even have a good face to me when she is away from Empress Lu."

The Eighth Prince told the Queen clearly, and the Queen nodded at him, indicating that he should tell it all.

"Neglect, treatment, and cold words are common."

"Often when I'm thirsty and ask her for a drink of water, she's too lazy to give it to me and just tells me to bear it."

Nanny Liu knelt on the ground and trembled, "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, you're so young, don't talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, I'm innocent!"

The Queen glared at Nanny Liu fiercely, and Nanny Liu immediately lowered her head in fear.

Sang Qi stepped forward and kicked Nanny Liu's butt without any hesitation, and shouted: "Nanny Liu, the Queen and the Eighth Prince are the masters, and you are the slave. You have no right to interrupt when the masters are talking!" "

Don't speak until I ask you. If you talk nonsense, be careful that the Queen will cut off your tongue!"

Nanny Liu nodded hurriedly.

The queen gave the eighth prince a look, and he continued: "After I left the table today, she followed me out, but when she was outside the palace and there was no one around, she ridiculed me to the extreme, saying that I was a prince who had lost power, and asked me to be quiet and not cause trouble for her."

"She said that if I caused trouble for her, she would have plenty of ways to deal with me."

[Old thing! How disgusting. Flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, how dare you treat the eighth brother like this.]

[Even if the people in the palace are snobbish, how can an old woman in her teens have the heart to be so cold-blooded to a child.] Xia Miaoyuan felt a blockage in his chest.

"I was very sad when I heard about my mother's story. Hearing her say this, I was even sadder..."

The eighth prince's eyes were red again.

The queen held the eighth prince in her arms with a distressed look, and said softly, "Good boy, you have suffered, it is your mother's fault."

The queen looked at Aunt Liu coldly, and then asked, "Aunt Liu, you are not the nanny that the eighth prince has been following since he was a child, right?"

Aunt Liu trembled and said, "This old slave was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the eighth prince a few days ago."

Hearing this, the queen suddenly realized that after Lipin was convicted, the nanny who served the eighth prince in the past must have been sent away.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a new nanny to the palace of Concubine Lu to serve the eighth prince.

The eighth prince lost the protection of his biological mother and became the powerless master in the palace. Aunt Liu was sharp-tongued and snobbish, and she must have been very reluctant to take this job.

So, she vented her anger on the Eighth Prince.

If it weren't for what Nanny Liu did today, the two companions would never have had the opportunity to bully the Eighth Prince.

Thinking of this, the Queen said coldly: "Nanny Liu committed a crime of insubordination and failed to take good care of the prince, which led to the prince's accident."

"One hundred lashes! Drive him out of the palace!"

When Nanny Liu heard the punishment, she screamed in fear and fainted.

[Mother is so powerful!] Xia Miaoyuan jumped down from the sedan chair excitedly.

[After one hundred lashes, he will be disabled if not dead!]

[Nanny Liu, this vicious old woman, really got what she deserved!]

[If it weren't for the old woman's bad behavior, Xiao Ba would never have been bullied by the two evil women. 】

After dealing with Nanny Liu, Xia Miaoyuan and the Eighth Prince got back on the sedan chair and were escorted by Yingxue back to Kunning Palace.

The empress gathered her emotions and continued to return to the palace banquet.

Emperor Mingxi felt relieved when she saw the empress return.

Duke Feng of the Guardian Kingdom and Liang Chaozong and his wife secretly sent followers to look for their daughter outside the palace, but they couldn't find her at all and were almost going crazy.

The empress looked at the panicked expressions of the two families coldly and whispered a few words to Emperor Mingxi.

In the afternoon, after the palace banquet ended, the guests dispersed one after another.

Emperor Mingxi had already sent someone to secretly send a message to Duke Feng of the Guardian Kingdom and the two families and went to the Qianqing Palace.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the Duke of Huguo and his son Feng Shulai, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse, stood in the hall anxiously.

Xia Zhengqi and the empress came slowly and sat on the main seat.

The four of them saluted the emperor and empress in unison.

After the salute, the emperor and empress said nothing, and the hall fell into a dead silence.

The four of them became even more uneasy, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They plucked up their courage to look up at the emperor and empress, only to see that both of them looked very ugly, especially Emperor Mingxi, whose face was frighteningly gloomy.

After a long time, the Duke of Protecting the Country spoke first, "I wonder why the emperor and empress summoned us here?"

Xia Zhengqi looked at the four of them coldly, and said in a deep voice, "You all came to attend the palace banquet today, but you didn't see your family?"

The four of them were startled when they heard this.

"My little granddaughter left the table halfway through, and has not been found yet." The Duke of Protecting the Country looked solemn.

"Jinse's little daughter Zhirou left the table at the same time as the granddaughter of the Duke of Protecting the Country, and has not been found yet either." Yao Jinse's voice was timid, and she looked a little pitiful.
