The emperor knew that he must not open this loophole. Every child of the royal family is hard-earned. If he really allowed these people to harm the children, what would happen to their Xiao family in the future?

What's more, Wei Ruxuan is Xiao Jiashan's princess. It's not enough for her to stir up trouble in her own house, but she actually interferes in other people's houses!

At the beginning, Wei Ruxuan and Zheng Shu colluded with each other to sell official positions and titles, but the emperor only punished Zheng Shu and did not settle the account with her. However, she became even more outrageous and did even more outrageous things!

After coming out of Concubine Xia's palace, the emperor's face looked unhappy.

The emperor considered it for a while and said: "I think that Wei is a woman of no virtue and no talent, and is not fit to be the wife of a prince. She should be divorced and sent back to the Wei family."

Xiao Chengji sneered.

Divorce Wei Ruxuan? I'm afraid Xiao Jiashan would be more than happy to do so.

Ever since Xiao Jiashan met Yan Yu, he has developed resentment towards Wei Ruxuan.

If he were to let Wei Ruxuan go home after divorce, I'm afraid she would still have evil intentions towards Yan Yu and would come up to him and say some inexplicable words.

"It's rare for a prince to divorce his wife. If it gets out, it will be bad for his reputation. Besides, after divorcing Wei, the fifth prince will marry again, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time." Xiao Chengji changed the subject, "The fifth prince is also responsible for not taking good care of his wife."

"You are right." The emperor sighed. "The fifth son is weak and kind, wavering. He can't even manage his own backyard. There are always troubles at home. What else can we expect from him?"

The Sixth Prince's legitimate son suffered such a great crime, but Concubine Xia endured it and did not make trouble, which made the Emperor feel guilty.

The next day, the emperor conferred the title of Prince Jin on the Sixth Prince and rewarded him with many things.

Empress Dowager Zheng was dissatisfied, and Queen Zheng was so angry that she couldn't eat.

The emperor woke up from a nap at noon and wanted to go out for a walk, then he heard Gu Guangliang hurriedly conveying the news that the empress dowager and the queen had arrived.

Emperor Jianxing sneered, knowing that the two of them would come over to cause trouble.

Empress Dowager Zheng was leaning on a cane, and Queen Zheng was standing beside her with a stern face that showed much dissatisfaction.

"Shan'er is the legitimate son of the Empress, he is of noble status and has both moral integrity and talent, how can he be inferior to the Sixth Prince? Rui'er is a hundred times stronger than the Sixth Prince, and I have never seen you reward him." Empress Dowager Zheng said, "Emperor, you can make the Sixth Prince a prince, but I don't agree."

Empress Zheng choked up a little: "I know that the emperor doesn't like me. He has been cold to me for many years, but Shan'er has never done anything wrong. Now Shan'er is suppressed by Lao Liu, and everyone laughs at him."

Emperor Jianxing said impatiently: "Queen, please go and find out what your good daughter-in-law did to the son of the sixth son."

Queen Mother Zheng asked, "What did Wei do?"

Emperor Jianxing knew that if he spoke out directly, these two people would definitely make excuses for Wei and Xiao Jiashan.

It would be better to let them investigate on their own.

If Wei really did these things, Queen Mother Zheng would be angry and Queen Zheng would feel guilty.

"I don't want to say more. Mother, please call the man here and interrogate him."

After saying this, Emperor Jianxing asked the eunuchs present to send Empress Dowager Zheng and Queen Zheng back.

As soon as Empress Dowager Zheng returned to Shoukang Palace, she had Wei Ruxuan brought over.

Wei Ruxuan has been sulking in her palace these days. The maids and eunuchs below her always speak ill of her in private. She has beaten several of them to death to scare them, but she still can't curb this trend!

These slaves were lucky enough to work in the palace, but they kept complaining about not getting paid and having to eat worse and worse! Were they here to be slaves, or to earn money to eat?

Wei Ruxuan was furious and dealt with two more people today.

Before she had even calmed down, word came from the palace asking her to hurry over, in a hurry, without giving her even time to change her clothes.

Wei Ruxuan and Xiao Jiashan became more and more estranged, but at night, Xiao Jiashan would still sleep with her.

In order to serve Xiao Jiashan well, she put on makeup at home and dressed in an exaggerated way. Unlike the fresh and bright young women in other families, her makeup and clothes were more gaudy.

Xiao Jiashan likes the style of Qinlou Chuguan's top brands, and she also caters to Xiao Jiashan's preferences.

It would be wrong to wear this outfit to meet the Queen Mother. The weather has been quite cold recently, and half of her shoulder and collarbone are exposed. There is also a butterfly drawn on her shoulder. She doesn't look serious at all. If the Queen Mother sees her, she will be in big trouble.

Wei Ruxuan quickly stuffed some silver into the nanny's hand and said, "Mammy, let me wash my face and change my clothes before going over."

The nanny didn't give her this face and directly pulled her into the carriage.

At this time, Queen Zheng was still talking to Queen Mother Zheng: "Xuan'er has always been obedient. The emperor must have misunderstood something."

Queen Mother Zheng felt disgusted with Empress Zheng and raised her eyes slightly: "Don't say these things. I don't want to hear them."

Queen Zheng didn't care whether she wanted to hear it or not, she just wanted to say: "Queen Mother, you can't only favor the seventh son's wife. Jiaolian has been a sweet-talker and scheming person since she was a child, while Xuan'er is more honest and obedient."

Queen Mother Zheng was already annoyed and closed her eyes and ignored her.

Soon Wei Ruxuan was pushed in by the maids.

When she smelled the scent of the foxy powder, Queen Zheng frowned.

When she saw clearly what Wei Ruxuan was wearing today, her face suddenly turned pale!

Wei Ruxuan also saw Queen Zheng and turned her eyes away guiltily.

Queen Mother Zheng said coldly: "Kneel down!"

Wei Ruxuan's knees went weak and she fell to her knees.

Queen Mother Zheng sneered: "What have you done to the Sixth Prince's son!"

Wei Ruxuan's face turned snow-white!

She thought such a thing would not be discovered!

Wei Ruxuan's mother, Liu, had been childless for many years. When she saw her relatives and friends giving birth to boys, she was jealous and would hide needles in the cradle or insert needles into the child in public places. She has never been discovered.

How did the Queen Mother find out this time?

Queen Mother Zheng saw her expression and guessed what she had done wrong. She said coldly: "I am too lazy to judge you. You will suffer less if you confess the truth."

Wei Ruxuan lowered her head and said, "I didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything?" Queen Mother Zheng glanced at her. "Manqing, close the palace door and slap her in the face until she speaks."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Ruxuan's mouth was bleeding, her ears were buzzing, and she could hardly hear anything.

"I said, I said everything..." Wei Ruxuan closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, "I took a few needles and inserted them into the prince's body."

Queen Zheng stared at her snow-white shoulders with disgust and said nothing.

Queen Mother Zheng was so angry that she wanted to stand up from her chair: "Idiot! What grudge does a baby of a few months old have against you? Why do you treat it like this!"

——He was so stupid and vicious that he was discovered doing such a thing. The Queen Mother Zheng really wanted to strangle this hindrance to death.

No wonder Xiao Jiashan is getting worse and worse. He has fallen in love with such a person. What future can he have?
