Xiao Jingyue's handsome face darkened, he moved two steps without batting an eyelid, blocking the gazes of the two people.

Qu Ling looked at him suspiciously, and didn't bother with him anymore as he walked in front of the emperor while leaning on his wooden stick.

He threw the wooden stick and knelt down, then cried out, "Uncle Emperor, you have to seek justice for Ah Ling."

Seeing that, the Little Prince thought of his sister's bald head and also kneeled down, "royal father, there are bad people bullying my sister, you must seek justice for my sister."

Qu Ling cried as she took a glance at Little Prince, thinking to herself: Big sister will definitely not let you off easily, I'll definitely give you big sister will give you a little mouse to play with later.

The emperor looked at the little fellow who had just stood up and reached his knees. His originally agitated heart instantly calmed down.

He bent down and smiled as he picked Little Prince up and placed him on his lap. "Mu Er and royal father, tell me, how did the bad guys bully your sister?"

Little Prince glanced at Qu Ling's hat and muttered: "Bad people made big sister become bald."

Qu Ling, "..."

Damn brat, remember this girl!

Hearing that, the Emperor turned his gaze towards Qu Ling's head.

Not only the emperor, even the crown prince, Li Chenxuan and Imperial Concubine Li all looked towards Qu Ling's head.

One or two. Their gazes were extremely strange.

The Emperor was just about to let Qu Ling take off his hat, when Qu Ling took a step forward and bellowed: "Imperial Aunt, Eleventh Princess will spread the rumours about Ah Ling tomorrow. Right now, everyone outside is saying that Ah Ling is unclean, she is obviously trying to force Ah Ling to death.

Just then, Imperial Concubine Li suddenly glanced at Li Chenxuan.

"Your majesty, your subject just happened to pass by and save the Mrs. Xiao who had fainted on the ground. I saw that the situation was urgent and so I brought him to a different courtyard to request for a doctor to come treat him, and I didn't have any disrespect towards your subject and Mrs. Xiao, but due to what your Eleventh Princess has done, my subject's mother even fainted because of this matter, so I hope that your majesty can help my subject."

The emperor stopped smiling and gently put down the Little Prince. He turned his head towards Eunuch Xi and said, "Pass on the message to Concubine Yi and Eunuch Xi."

Eunuch Xi replied and left.

While they were waiting for Yi Feifei and the Eleventh Princess to come over, everyone once again cast their gaze on Qu Ling's head.

Xiao Jingyue walked behind Qu Ling, blocking the gazes of the people behind him.

The emperor looked at Xiao Jingyue who had a face full of displeasure, and noticed the Queen's disapproving gaze towards him, so he could only give up.

He coughed lightly and retracted his gaze. He helplessly said, "Eleven made a mistake. The Queen has already punished her and Yi Fei for one month."

After pausing for a moment, his gaze swept across everyone present, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "This matter should have ended here, and I do not know who was so daring as to wantonly spread the news of our Eleventh Princess sending people to slander Ah Ling this morning?"

The Queen lowered her eyes in silence.

Imperial Concubine Li and the Crown Prince both looked towards Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue did not squint at all, his expression did not change as he said indifferently: "This subject would also like to know who was so bold as to actually dare to be disrespectful to the imperial family."

When Imperial Concubine Li and the Crown Prince saw him speak so shamelessly, the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.

The silent empress, in a place invisible to the emperor, slowly pursed her lips.

Qu Ling also said, "That's right, just who is so bold as to give him a good beating if you catch him!"

The emperor's gaze swept across Xiao Jingyue's body and asked with interest: "How does Ah Ling think we should punish him?"

Qu Ling replied without thinking, "Shaving your head!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

It just so happened that Eunuch Xi had brought Yi Fei and Eleventh Princess over. The emperor could only cast his gaze towards the mother and daughter pair.

Eleventh Princess almost exploded when he saw Qu Ling.

Fortunately, Yi Fei was able to hold her back in time. Thus, she did not lose her rationality.

The two of them knelt before the emperor's empress. "Chenqie (son) greets the emperor (father) and the empress (mother)."

The Emperor did not let them get up and said: "The General Xiao's Madam and the Young Noble of Li Aiqing have come to me to report on the matter. Eleven, what do you say?"

Actually at this time, as long as Eleventh Princess properly apologizes to the two, the Emperor would be able to let this matter pass. Unfortunately for him, his character was not one to easily compromise, especially not in front of Qu Ling, the woman who she regarded as her mortal enemy.

Eleventh Princess was not willing to show weakness in front of Qu Ling. He rubbed his neck and muttered: "Whether or not I'm clear about it, I won't let others say it!"

Yi Fei's expression changed slightly as she shouted in a low voice, "Yan Er!"

Eleventh Princess looked at her, lowered his head, and did not say another word.

Before Qu Ling could even open his mouth to speak to the Eleventh Princess, Li Chenxuan said: "I have only met you by chance, you are innocent. Why would the Eleventh Princess slander me?"

Eleventh Princess was startled, he turned and looked at Li Chenxuan, and asked: "Who are you?"

Yi Fei turned around and looked at Imperial Concubine Li. She gritted her teeth and said, "The son of the Minister of War, the nephew of Imperial Concubine Li!"

She was going to die from anger because of this daughter!

In the end, Eleventh Princess was not completely stupid, he thought back to what he had heard, and thought about the rumors he heard from the maids yesterday, and guessed that this unlucky Young Master Li was the male lead of the rumors.

She also did not expect to drag him into the water, and for a moment she did not know what to say.

was afraid that the Emperor would give his grandfather and husband a pair of small shoes later, so he didn't feel that it would be too difficult for the Emperor, so he said: "Since Imperial Aunt has already punished her to stay locked up, if I don't punish her to copy the《 Female Commandment》 a hundred times more, this matter will be solved. What does Imperial Uncle think?"

Xiao Jingyue lowered his head and looked at the girl kneeling before him with his back facing him, a smile quickly flashed past his eyes.

This time, before Eleventh Princess could lose his temper, Yi Fei quickly stopped her and said with a hollow laugh, "I really should plagiarize. Chenqie has no objections."

The emperor didn't want to see such small matters continue to haunt him. Seeing that Yi Fei had no objections, he nodded his head and agreed.

Then, he looked at Li Chenxuan and asked: "What do you think about Li Aiqing's residence's young noble?"

Li Chenxuan kowtowed and said in a virtuous tone, "If I were to copy it a hundred times, this subject would be willing to do so too."

One was the Empress's niece, while the other was Imperial Concubine Li's nephew. Even the Emperor was helpless when he knew that these two had decided to punish his daughter.

Furthermore, the Eleventh Princess had always been at fault, and with this kind of attitude, even if the Emperor had the heart, he wouldn't be able to protect her. If this matter continued, it wouldn't be worth it, so he said in a deep voice, "The Eleventh Princess has already been locked up for a month, and has copied the《 Female Commandment》 two hundred times. No one is allowed to copy it for themselves, and no one is allowed to take even half a step out of the palace unless it is completely copied."

He paused before continuing, "Yi Feifei and her daughter are unable to do anything, so let's punish them together."

Saying that, he no longer looked at his disappointing daughter and walked out. As he walked out, he said: "Xiao Aiqing, come with me to the Imperial study."

Xiao Jingyue helped Qu Ling who was kneeling on the ground up, patted her shoulder, and said with a low voice: "Wait for me here."

Without waiting for Qu Ling's reply, he immediately turned around and followed the emperor out of Phoenix Maiden Palace.

Since the emperor had already left, Imperial Concubine Li and the others couldn't stay any longer either. They all took their leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the crown prince suddenly turned and looked deeply into Qu Ling's eyes.

Qu Ling pretended not to see it as he turned his back to him.

After everyone had left, the main hall fell silent once more.

The Queen embraced the Little Prince and asked with a smile, "Is it just going to end like this?"
