Shen Yijia was originally going back to the Jade Light Hall. Halfway through, she remembered that she had yet to take the oven she had brought out, so she could only return with Zhu Dazhi.

She happened to see Xuanyuan Qi enter the palace next door to the Longevity Palace and guessed that he might be here for Xuanyuan Ye, so she followed him in. Unexpectedly, she happened to hear Bai Zhi talking about her.

In short, she regretted not throwing this girl into the pool at that time.

Xuanyuan Qi’s gaze paused on the roasted meat in her hand. He turned to look at the pale Bai Zhi and guessed that she wasn’t telling the truth at all. He looked at Eunuch Yu unhappily.

“Tell me, if you hide anything, even if you’re someone close to Mother, I can still take your head.”

Eunuch Yu complained in his heart. There were so many people present at that time, and this matter could not withstand investigation at all. He could only honestly tell them what he knew, including what Empress Dowager Zhou had said.

“When I arrived, the princess was already in the water. I don’t know how she fought.”

This was not a lie. Although another eunuch had already told him that the princess claimed to be acting on the empress dowager’s orders to capture Shen Yijia, he had not heard it with his own ears or seen it with his own eyes.

However, how could Xuanyuan Qi not guess? However, he still got someone to find the other eunuchs for questioning.

In front of the emperor, not many people had the guts to lie.

Coupled with what Eunuch Yu had said, they basically recounted everything that had happened.

Not only did Xuanyuan Ye pick a losing fight, but she also faked an imperial decree. If the emperor really wanted to pursue the matter, she would not be able to get anything out of it.

Bai Zhi said in a panic, “The princess did that because of her. Not only did she anger the Empress Dowager time and time again, but she also openly disobeyed the Imperial Decree and ate meat during her mourning period. The princess only wanted to help the Empress Dowager.”

She did not tell the truth at first, but now, Xuanyuan Qi was impatient and did not want to hear her explanation. He waved his hand. “Inverting the truth. Drag her away and slap her twenty times.”

“Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty!”

The two eunuchs quickly covered her mouth and brought her away.

Xuanyuan Qi narrowed his eyes at the calm and composed Shen Yijia. “Putting aside the fact that I’ve already given the order, why do you have to go to the Longevity Palace to roast meat?”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “What order? You even sent me roasted geese yesterday!”

However, Shen Yijia could not be bothered to expose him. She took a bite of meat and said vaguely, “The scenery there is good. ”

Xuanyuan Qi was speechless.

Seeing that the emperor did not pursue the matter of the little fiend hitting someone, Eunuch Yu rolled his eyes and said, “Your Majesty, actually, the Empress Dowager has been unable to eat for the past two days. I’m extremely anxious. No matter how I persuade her, it’s useless.”

Xuanyuan Qi was shocked and said anxiously, “Why didn’t anyone report such a huge matter to me?”

Eunuch Yu said awkwardly, “The Empress Dowager doesn’t let us cause trouble for Your Majesty, but don’t worry, Your Majesty. Because of Madam Song, the Empress Dowager has already rested after drinking a bowl of porridge.”

He glanced at Shen Yijia and continued, “I’ve heard of a way to stimulate the appetite. I think this is why Madam Song insisted on going to the Longevity

Palace to roast meat.”

Shen Yijia was stunned. “I didn’t. Don’t spout nonsense.” she thought.

Knowing that he cared about his mother, Xuanyuan Qi was finally a little relieved. “If that’s the case, I won’t…

On the bed, Xuanyuan Ye suddenly said, “Father, don’t leave. Don’t abandon

Ye’er.”

Xuanyuan Qi turned to look at her. Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes were closed, and she was clearly still unconscious.

She must have dreamed of Second Brother!

A look of pity appeared in his eyes. He changed the topic and said, “You’re already like this at such a young age.”

In the end, he did not say the word vicious. ‘You’re so ruthless at such a young age. If I don’t punish you, won’t you be even more lawless in the future? This time, I’ll punish you to be grounded in the Jade Light Hall. Without my orders, you’re not allowed to take half a step out of the Jade Light Hall again.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and snorted before turning to leave.

After taking two steps, she retreated.

Xuanyuan Qi thought that she had finally realized the seriousness of the problem and was about to admit her mistake. The anger he felt from her attitude just now was mostly dissipated.

Shen Yijia did not even look at him. She grabbed Zhu Dazhi, who wanted to burrow into the ground.

She dragged him away without looking back.

Xuanyuan Qi was speechless.

Everyone quickly lowered their heads and slowed down their breathing.

Even the empress dowager usually gave His Majesty some dignity. Apart from His Highness, this Madam Song was definitely the second person who dared to treat him like this.

To be honest, they were afraid that their breathing would be too loud and they would be killed by the emperor to vent his anger.

Xuanyuan Qi took a deep breath and looked around. In the end, his gaze landed on an imperial physician who was closest to the bed.

He said angrily, “Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and take a look at the princess.”

Actually, he had already checked Xuanyuan Ye’s pulse. However, anyone who was not stupid knew that the emperor was in a fit of anger. They did not dare to explain and quickly checked Xuanyuan Ye’s pulse again.

After a while, she retracted her hand and said in fear and trepidation, “Although the injuries on the princess’s head and face look serious, they’re all superficial wounds. She’ll be fine after applying some medicine. She was mainlv frightened bv falling into the water. I’m afraid she has to recuDerate for

a while.”

Xuanyuan Qi shouted, “Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and get some medicine for the princess.”

“Yes sir!”

The three imperial physicians left as if they had been pardoned.

Eunuch Wu glanced at the ashen-faced Xuanyuan Qi and asked after some thought, “Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to inform the lord’s residence?”

With his understanding of Xuanyuan Qi, he would definitely let Xuanyuan Ye recuperate in the palace. In order to prevent the princess consort from worrying, he naturally had to send someone to inform her.

Eunuch Wu was waiting for Xuanyuan Qi to nod. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qi pondered for a moment and shook his head. “There’s no need. Go and find a few people to send the princess back to the residence.”

Eunuch Wu was surprised.

Xuanyuan Qi glanced at Xuanyuan Ye and added, “Mother’s health is not good to begin with. If she sees the princess like this, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.”

Eunuch Wu thought to himself, “Oh, so you don’t want the empress dowager to worry.”

Eunuch Yu thought to himself, “I understand. I can’t let the empress dowager Imow about what happened today. It seems that I have to teach those brats a lesson when I get back.”

After the two of them thought about it, they heard Xuanyuan Qi continue, “Get those imperial physicians to go with you. They can come back after the princess has recovered.”

Everyone thought to themselves, “See, His Majesty is still very concerned about the princess. Otherwise, why would he send out so many imperial physicians for something that one imperial physician is enough for? You have to know that there are so many masters in the palace, and all of them are very pretentious. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital often can’t handle them.”

Xuanyuan Qi did not know what they were thinking. With that, he turned around and left the Ganquan Palace.

Eunuch Wu quickly instructed someone to send Xuanyuan Ye back to the residence and followed him with small steps.

No one realized that Xuanyuan Ye’s hand under the brocade blanket was clenched into a fist.

When Xuanyuan Ye returned to the residence, no matter how angry Madam Yu was and how much she hated Shen Yijia, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

At night, when everyone was about to rest, Shen Yijia appeared in the waterside pavilion of the Longevity Palace again..
