I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Everyone was whispering, Tao Ying and Fu Yushu were about to kneel down and beg for mercy...

However, at this critical moment, Fu Yuzheng suddenly showed a pitiful look.

She secretly glanced at the Crown Princess, and then her eyes quickly filled with tears. She turned to Queen Gao to complain aggrievedly, her voice choked with sobs:

"Empress, Gao Ni specifically told me before I entered the palace that if I was bullied in the palace, I must not be afraid."

"He told me that Aunt Queen is the most just and loving person in the world and will always make the decision for me. Aunt Queen, is what Gao Ni said true?"

Fu Yuzheng's call of "Aunt Empress" was so affectionate that Empress Gao's heart melted instantly.

Gao Ni is very popular now. He is the most popular person in front of Emperor Jingde. Even Empress Gao herself is trying every means to win over Gao Ni.

How could she not give face to the woman Gao Ni loved?

So, Empress Gao embraced the petite Fu Yuzheng without hesitation, stroking her back and comforting her:

"Good boy, just as Ni'er said, if anyone in the palace dares to bully you, I will punish them severely. If you are wronged in the palace, just tell your aunt, no need to be polite."

When Princess Chen Daiqiong saw this, her heart tightened, her palms began to sweat, and her eyes were fixed on Fu Yuzheng.

Fu Yuzheng wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing a deep bloodstain on her fair wrist.

——This bloodstain is like a glaring river of blood in the snow in winter, which is shocking.

Empress Gao was shocked when she saw this: "Was it scratched by a sharp armor?" She was worthy of being a member of the harem, and she could identify the weapon at a glance.

Fu Yuzheng nodded aggrievedly.

Empress Gao was immediately furious: "Who dares to treat you like this?" She was Gao Ni's beloved.

For many years, the emperor and empress had been urging Gao Ni to marry and have children, but he always turned a deaf ear to them. Now, after waiting until he was 25 years old, he finally fell in love with a woman and personally arranged the marriage overnight, settling on his fiancée.

Who would dare to disrespect a woman like this?

...We should not only look at the face of the Buddha but also find out the culprit and give an explanation to Gao Ni.

What's more, Fu Yuzheng is the daughter of the god of war Fu Xiaotian. Fu Xiaotian commands an army of 200,000 in the northwest and is a heavyweight figure that the queen and the prince urgently need to win over.

With two powerful backers standing tall behind Fu Yuzheng, if she were bullied in the palace, how could Empress Gao sit idly by?

Fu Yuzheng pretended to be timid, hesitating, as if she didn't dare to expose the bad guy: "Empress, this matter... let's end it here. As long as you don't blame me for being disrespectful in front of the palace."

How could Empress Gao let it go? She gently stroked Fu Yuzheng's back and encouraged her softly, "Good child, don't be afraid. No matter who that person is, your aunt will support you and punish him severely."

Queen Gao also wanted to know who was so bold as to offend two big figures, Gao Ni and Fu Xiaotian, at the same time.

The capable nanny beside Empress Gao also comforted Fu Yuzheng softly, "Miss Fu San, don't worry, the Empress will make the decision for you, just speak up."

Under the urging of everyone, Fu Yuzheng finally plucked up the courage. She glanced at the Crown Princess with a deliberately timid look, and then pointed at her with a trembling little hand.

"It was done by the Crown Princess. I just met the Crown Princess in the courtyard with Madam Gao and the others. When I was paying my respects, the Crown Princess warmly supported me..." Fu Yuzheng's voice trembled slightly when she said this, "But, as soon as the Crown Princess left, my wrists and sleeves... became like this."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.

Empress Gao's eyes shot sharply at the Crown Princess. This idiot, her Crown Prince hadn't even had time to win over Gao Ni and Fu Xiaotian, but the Crown Princess actually dared to make trouble behind his back!

The Crown Princess was frozen on the spot. She had not expected Fu Yuzheng to be so bold as to accuse her, a Crown Princess of such a high status, on her first visit to the palace.

In the Crown Princess's opinion, Fu Yuzheng should choose to swallow her anger. Even if she behaved impolitely in front of the palace, she would only be beaten with a few sticks, cry a few times, and then leave the palace and return home in disgrace.

However, Fu Yuzheng's accusation caught the Crown Princess off guard, and she dug her nails deep into her palms, trying to remain calm.

She calmed herself down and tried to defend herself: "Mother, I didn't..."

At this moment, Mrs. Gao (Gao Ni's grandmother), who was named, immediately stood up and interrupted:

"Your Highness, we did meet the Crown Princess in the front yard. The Crown Princess did shake the hand of Miss Fu San, and everyone present knows this."

Madam Gao, as the mother of the Queen and the grandmother of the Crown Prince, held great importance in the palace. She did not agree with the Crown Princess's behavior and even thought that she should be taught a lesson to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the Crown Prince in the future.

Therefore, Madam Gao stood up without hesitation and publicly criticized the Crown Princess's behavior.

At this time, Fu Yushu also mustered up the courage to stand up and testify for her sister:

"I can testify that before she met the Crown Princess, my sister's wrists and sleeves were intact. But after she met the Crown Princess, they became tattered."

Fu Yushu's words surprised the noble ladies present. Looking at this dignified and gentle girl, they couldn't help but admire her courage and determination. In order to protect her sister, she dared to openly accuse the crown princess of the dynasty.

Fu Yushu's behavior made everyone look at Fu Xiaotian's daughter with admiration. She is indeed the daughter of a general, like father, like daughter.

Faced with the accusations of the two, Queen Gao looked at the Crown Princess coldly, waiting for her explanation.

Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong looked nervous, as if she was hesitating whether to fight to the end.

However, how could Fu Yuzheng let her escape?

Fu Yuzheng suddenly changed her strategy, and her sharp eyes stared straight at the Crown Princess's armor.

This action instantly broke the Crown Princess's defense. Her fingers trembled slightly involuntarily, and the armor collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Queen Gao was keenly aware of the Crown Princess's nervousness. She glanced at her armor and motioned her to come forward.

Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong's heart tightened, she knew that the Queen was going to check her armor in public.

Damn it, after scratching Fu Yuzheng's wrist and sleeve, he didn't have time to change his armor. Otherwise, he could have just stood up straight and refused to admit it, and just stood up to the end.

In desperation, the Crown Princess could only bite the bullet and step forward, bowing her head and admitting her mistake:

"Mother, I just remembered that I bought this new set of armor today and it is not very easy to use. When I was supporting Miss Fu San, I may have accidentally scratched her. This is my fault."

Even though the Crown Princess's statement was evasive, everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not hear the water in it?

Empress Gao was an expert in palace fighting and could tell at a glance that the Crown Princess was lying.

She glared at him and said firmly, "If you know you are wrong, you should correct it. This is the greatest kindness. Why don't you apologize to the innocent victim, Miss Fu San, as soon as possible."

The Crown Princess apologized to a court lady?

This is like an emperor who is high above everyone else bowing his head and admitting his mistakes to his ministers. It is simply humiliating!

Although she was very reluctant, Princess Chen Daiqiong still had to bow her head to Fu Yuzheng and apologized sincerely: "Miss Fu San, my armor accidentally hurt you today. I will definitely hold a banquet to apologize to you another day."

After all, Chen Daiqiong was the Crown Princess of the current dynasty, and she had the face of the royal family. Fu Yuzheng also understood the principle of stopping when things were going well, so she stood up from the Phoenix Throne and accepted the Crown Princess' apology with a smile.

However, it's time to stop here. The Crown Princess shouldn't think that a simple apology would make the matter disappear.

After Fu Yuzheng accepted the apology, she smiled and added another stab:

"Fortunately, the Crown Princess did not do it on purpose. I am relieved now. Otherwise, I would not only have nightmares tonight, but would have nightmares every night in the future and would not be able to sleep well."

This blow made Empress Gao unable to sit still. She immediately stood up to show her fairness and justice. After comforting Fu Yuzheng again, she announced the punishment for the Crown Princess in public:

"Crown Princess, you have done something wrong and you must be punished. You must go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and prepare a cup of 'sedative tea' for Miss Fu San to calm her nerves. In addition, after returning to the East Palace, you must copy ten copies of the Buddhist scriptures and confess your sins to the Buddha."

This was probably the first Crown Princess to be punished in public for "accidentally" scratching a minister's hand since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Who told Fu Yuzheng to have such a strong backer?

And there is more than one!

Facing her mother's order, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong's lips turned pale, but she dared not disobey and had to agree. She turned and left the hall, and went to the Imperial Hospital with a dusty face to prepare "soothing tea" for Fu Yuzheng.
