Nian Shilan then realized that she had exposed herself too much and restrained some of her expression.

She turned around and looked at Yinzhen, only to see that Yinzhen's eyes were actually fixed on her.

She said, "Your Majesty, although I don't have any children, I am really frightened to see Fourth Prince in this state. Such a vicious thing has happened in this palace. Who is so bold?"

Yinzhen suddenly remembered something and pulled over the third prince who was kneeling on the ground.

The Third Prince had no idea that his Fourth Brother had so many wounds on his body and was still surprised.

He was pulled over by Emperor Ama without any preparation.

Yinzhen pulled open his sleeve and saw that his white, slender hand had no wounds, then he let it go.

"Su Peisheng, have you brought everyone here?"

His tone was very cold, with a murderous aura that came from an emperor.

Su Peisheng bent over and nodded, "Your Majesty, they are all kneeling outside."

"Okay." Yinzhen walked out and looked at the row of maids and eunuchs kneeling outside.

Nian Shilan followed him out, raised her voice, and asked coldly, "Who caused the injury on the Fourth Prince's body?"

Yinzhen looked at him coldly but said nothing.

However, the servants below did not dare to speak.

Only one of them came forward and said, "Madam Hua, Madam Hua, it was the Fourth Prince who accidentally fell while playing."

"Assholes! How could the Fourth Prince fall like this? Either you guys didn't serve him wholeheartedly, or you guys always beat and scolded him! Tell me the truth."

When Nian Shilan got angry, he was no less angry than the emperor.

The servant who was answering at this time was so frightened that her back was shaking and she couldn't stand up straight. She dared not reply anymore.

No one dared to return.

Yinzhen raised his hand and said calmly, "If no one says anything, then they have all done it. Break their legs and throw them out of the palace."

At this time, the maid quickly said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, all of this... was done by Sanxi."

After saying that, he pointed to an old woman who was kneeling at the end.

The old woman who was pointed at raised her head quickly, looking at the other person in disbelief, then knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "I am not a slave, Your Majesty, I am not a slave."

At this moment, the Fourth Prince, who was originally standing behind Nian Shilan, rushed out quickly like a gust of wind.

"Father Emperor, it was not Nanny Sanxi who did this to Empress Hua."

Yinzhen stared at him, "Hongli, since you said it wasn't her, then who did it?"

The Fourth Prince pointed at the one who was trying to shirk responsibility without hesitation, "It was her, Madam Suqin who pinched me when I was changing clothes, and she also said that the Emperor didn't love me, that I was the most hated child in the palace, that no one would remember me, and that she bullied me because I didn't have a mother!"

Su Qin was immediately panicked. She didn't expect the Fourth Prince to be so bold as to accuse her.

After all, the Fourth Prince usually didn't even dare to breathe in front of her.

"Fourth Prince, please...please don't wrongly accuse me. I just touched you lightly. How can it be called a pinch?"

But without giving her time to say more, Yinzhen said cruelly.

"Su Peisheng, drag him away and beat him to death."

"Whoo."

Su Peisheng immediately raised his hand and signaled the guards to pull Su Qin away.

Su Qin immediately howled, "Fourth Prince, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. I...ah!"

There was no more sound of her in the hall.

Nian Shilan looked at the way the Fourth Prince lowered his head and his expression just now, and suddenly understood something in her heart.

Soon, the people around him spoke again, "The rest of you, just pretend you don't see the master's suffering, and each of you will be punished with thirty lashes."

"Whoo."

Just when Su Peisheng was about to ask someone to do it, the Fourth Prince suddenly said something.

"Father, I have something I want to ask you."

Yinzhen raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Aunt Sanxi is very attentive to me and is a hard-working person. Usually, only Aunt Sanxi is the best to me. However, she is honest and doesn't know how to talk. Please, Father, spare Aunt Sanxi from punishment."

After all this, Yinzhen became tired and didn't want to listen to him anymore.

He was too lazy to ask about the matters concerning the handling of the servants, and just waved his hand, "That's it."

Then he left the abode directly.

Nian Shilan glanced at the Fourth Prince and then hurriedly followed him.

Seeing that Yinzhen's face was not very good, Nian Shilan lowered her voice.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood. You should go to Yikun Palace to have some refreshments and relax."

Yinzhen sighed, "Forget it, I am no longer in the mood today. I will go to Yikun Palace when I am free another day."

Nian Shilan smiled brightly, "Okay, Your Majesty must tell me in advance so that I can prepare the cakes that Your Majesty likes in advance."

Yinzhen stopped, took Nian Shilan's hand, and looked at her beauty.

The more there is in your heart, the more comfort you will have.

"Okay, I feel at ease with you here."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very upset? Is it because of the Third Prince's study?"

Nian Shilan deliberately didn't mention anything about the Fourth Prince and looked at Yinzhen's expression.

Yinzhen nodded and just said, "Yes and no."

Nian Shilan took it as a yes and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The Third Prince is still a child after all. The incident with Concubine Qi has just passed, so you don't have to be too anxious. But I remember that the Queen wants to take care of the Third Prince. Why not hand the Third Prince over to the Queen? With the Queen's care, I believe the Third Prince will definitely become a pillar in the heart of the Emperor."

Yinzhen's eyebrows moved, "Does the Queen intend to take care of the Third Prince?"

"Yes, I often see Jianqiu from Jingren Palace delivering cakes to the Third Prince. The Queen is so kind to the Third Prince, so the Third Prince must like the Queen as well."

"Cakes?" Yinzhen snorted coldly, "I'm afraid the cake on Hongshi's table today was sent by the Queen."

Nian Shilan deliberately remained silent and just looked at Yinzhen with a timid expression.

Seeing this, Yinzhen sighed, "It's because I value Hongshi too much that I'm so shocked now."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Third Prince will eventually become a successful person."

Whenever the third prince was mentioned, Yinzhen would think of Hongli.

"Hongli seems to be a well-behaved and sensible child today. He has good handwriting and is good at studying. I am very pleased."

Nian Shilan then took over the conversation naturally, "Yes, Your Majesty, I also think that the Fourth Prince is good. If Your Majesty is free, you can consider choosing a foster mother for the Fourth Prince. I believe that if she teaches him well, he will become a pillar of the country."

Yinzhen suddenly looked at her and said with a different look, "You are lonely, why don't you think about yourself?"

Nian Shilan shook her head and blinked, "How can I take care of a child? Your Majesty knows that I don't have the heart to do that. Besides, I am still looking forward to having a child with Your Majesty."

After saying this, she blushed like a shy girl, lowered her head, and held Yinzhen's finger.

But Yinzhen's smile was very stiff.
