After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Emperor Chengren helped Concubine Jia up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Tell me what you have to say slowly."

Concubine Jia stood weakly by the side, wiping her non-existent tears with a handkerchief, and said:

"Today, I took my pet to play in the Imperial Garden. The maid prepared some snacks from the Imperial Kitchen. I didn't have much appetite, so I asked someone to take them away. Unexpectedly, the maid was so impatient that she bumped into Princess Yuyao, who immediately wanted to beat my maid with a stick."

"I just pleaded for the maid, and Princess Yuyao spoke harshly to me."

"My beloved pet wanted to play with the princess, but the maidservant beside the princess picked up a stick and beat Yuanbao, almost killing him!"

"Yuan Bao just wanted to play with Princess Yu Yao, but the princess wanted to kill Yuan Bao!"

Concubine Jia cried as she spoke, "Princess Yuyao not only beat and scolded my maids, but also insulted and killed my favorites."

"Your Majesty, I feel wronged!"

After saying that, she took her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Emperor Chengren stroked his forehead with a headache.

He knew that Concubine Jia and Yuyao had always been at odds with each other, but these two were the women he loved the most.

"Yuyao, what do you say?" Emperor Chengren looked at Xiao Yuyao.

He would not just believe Concubine Jia's one-sided statement.

From the moment she entered the door, Xiao Yuyao kept her head down.

Hearing Emperor Chengren's question, she knelt down with a plop.

When he looked up again, his face was full of tears.

"Father..."

Seeing Xiao Yuyao's appearance, Concubine Jia's heart skipped a beat and she immediately had a bad premonition.

Why is Xiao Yuyao different from usual?

Emperor Chengren felt distressed when he saw his daughter, who was usually arrogant and domineering, suddenly looked aggrieved.

"Yuyao, what's wrong? Get up and talk."

Xiao Yuyao shook her head and said with a choked voice:

"Father, I brought Princess Leping to the Imperial Garden today. The maid bumped into me while carrying a tray of snacks. I got angry and said I wanted to beat her. I was wrong and I know I was wrong."

It was a rare opportunity to see his daughter admit her mistakes, and Emperor Chengren's heart was broken.

"That palace maid was so reckless and offended the princess. Even if she is beaten to death, what does it matter? I wonder who dares to say no." Emperor Chengren stretched out his hand to help Xiao Yuyao up.

Xiao Yuyao refused and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

The handkerchief in the hands of Concubine Jia was about to break.

You are so good, Xiao Yuyao, you are pretending to be weak today.

After sniffing, Xiao Yuyao continued:

"I was talking to the Imperial Concubine, but the monkey she raised suddenly broke free from the palace maid's hand and pounced on me. My clothes were torn and my hands were scratched!"

"If it weren't for the fact that my maid was so eager to protect her master and hadn't suppressed her fear and chased that monkey away, I would have gotten my face scratched!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands in front of Emperor Chengren.

Emperor Chengren took a look and saw red marks on the back of his hand.

Looking at her again, her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy.

I was furious at the moment.

"Luo Rong, call the imperial physician!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Luo ran out in a hurry.

Emperor Chengren reached out his hand to help Xiao Yuyao again. This time, Xiao Yuyao stood up obediently and sat aside, sobbing quietly.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Concubine Jia wanted to plead for mercy.

"Shut up." Emperor Chengren said coldly.

Concubine Jia thought to herself that something was wrong.

When Jiang Ruoli heard Xiao Yuyao say that her hand was injured, she looked over with concern.

Xiao Yuyao raised her head and winked at her gently.

Jiang Ruoli felt relieved.

After a while, Eunuch Luo came in with the imperial physician.

After carefully examining the wound on Xiao Yuyao's hand, the imperial physician said:

"Your Majesty, the wound on your hand is not serious. You just need to be careful not to touch water in the next few days and apply Jade Face Cream on time every day to avoid leaving scars."

"However, Your Highness was frightened today, and it is inevitable that you will have nightmares at night. I will prescribe some soothing medicine, and Your Highness can drink it before going to bed."

Emperor Chengren heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his daughter was fine.

Seeing the little monkey cowering on the side, Emperor Chengren became furious.

"Someone, throw this evil creature into the lake and let it drown!"

"Your Majesty, don't!" Concubine Jia said in panic.

Everyone in the palace knows that this little monkey is the apple of Concubine Jia's eye.

Emperor Chengren ignored her.

The eunuch holding the little monkey was about to retreat immediately.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the little monkey.

Looking at it from such a close distance, she noticed something strange.

[Huh? What's on this monkey's mouth? ]

Xiao Yujing moved his fingers.

He glanced at the little monkey and said lightly:

"Father, I heard that this golden monkey is docile, timid and shy, and almost non-aggressive. It suddenly hurt someone today, I'm afraid it was stimulated by something."

Emperor Chengren nodded.

Indeed, the little monkey has been keeping its head down since it came in, not daring to look at people.

"Doctor Chen, go take a look."

"Yes." Doctor Chen stepped forward and examined it carefully.

Concubine Jia looked nervously at Doctor Chen touching Yuanbao's body.

Noticing the food residue on the monkey's mouth, Doctor Chen gently rubbed it on his fingertips and put it to his nose to smell it.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this monkey. It is just a little too thin. I think it has not eaten for several days."

Concubine Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yuanbao has refused to eat or drink these past few days. I was very worried, so I fed him a piece of lotus cake in the palace this morning," explained Concubine Jia.

Doctor Chen nodded and said, "Golden monkeys are omnivores, so it's okay for them to eat some lotus crisps."

Then he paused, "I smell cloves added to it."

Concubine Jia paused, "I don't know about this..."

"The smell of cloves is strong and has a certain appetite-inducing effect. The imperial concubine's pet has not eaten for a long time, so it is better to feed it less to prevent addiction." Doctor Chen advised.

After hearing what Doctor Chen said, Xiao Yuyao reacted immediately.

"Father, it was that palace maid. She deliberately poured the snacks on me, and I was stained with the smell of cloves. That's why the monkey came to tear me apart."

Emperor Chengren looked at Concubine Jia, who was in a state of panic.

"Someone, bring me the snacks!"

The incident happened suddenly, and the broken lotus cakes on the ground in the imperial garden had not been cleaned up yet. A eunuch carefully loaded them on a tray and brought them into the pavilion.

Doctor Chen stepped forward, picked up a piece of the crumbs and smelled it.

"Your Majesty, there are also cloves in it," said Doctor Chen.

Emperor Chengren looked at Concubine Jia coldly.

Concubine Jia cried quickly, "Your Majesty, I didn't know there were cloves in this!"

Gritting my teeth in my heart.

Damn you servants, it’s taken them so long and they haven’t cleaned up the lotus crisps yet.

"Father, I remember that there is no need to put cloves in lotus pastry." Xiao Yujing said.

Emperor Chengren's eyes were gloomy.

"Send the steward of the imperial kitchen."

Concubine Jia's face changed.
