Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Prince Li Zheng Slapped This Official’s Consort

Bai Zhi’er didn’t know how to describe him.

They stopped at the palace gate.

Bai Zhi’er panted heavily and exhaled.

"Emperor, could you stop being so judgmental? You almost let the Lady drink poison yesterday because of your prejudice!"

"Can’t you take the initiative to discover the truth yourself, to see with your heart instead of just your eyes and ears!"

Long Xiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "You’re being rude to me again! Do you believe I’ll punish you?"

Bai Zhi’er pushed him into the courtyard: "We’ll talk about punishment later, you should save the Lady first!"

Guarding the entrance, the two guards assigned by Prince Li Zheng suddenly wanted to speak up when they saw the Emperor arrive.

However, at that moment, a tall figure leaped down from the eaves.

Silently, he subdued the two guards.

Long Xiyuan was slightly surprised. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He recognized the person who acted—this was the unruly little palace Servant’s suitor, the guard surnamed Ce.

Bai Zhi’er shot Feng Fuce a look of excited approval.

She said nothing, yet Brother Ce understood her intentions perfectly—they truly had a tacit connection!

Fortunately, Long Xiyuan also grasped her intent.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to remain silent.

Long Xiyuan walked lightly to the doorway.

Inside, Fu Xiru’s voice just happened to come through.

With a hint of sobbing, she said: "Teacher, I’ve never asked you for anything, but I feel unwell, and Jin Lian has been by my side. If you move her away, whom can I trust?"

Prince Li Zheng’s ruthless voice echoed: "If Jin Lian is gone, I can send two more sensible palace Servants over!"

"In any case, Jin Lian absolutely cannot stay. She doesn’t know about you being poisoned, how can she continue to serve?"

"All the people around you have to be replaced, especially that palace Servant you’ve been protecting—she’s simply unruly and disrespectful!"

"No matter why you’re confused, I won’t allow you to make any more mistakes!"

Although Fu Xiru was crying, her voice was resolute.

"Impossible, I can’t let you control my life all the time. Zhi’er and Jin Lian, neither needs to leave."

"Now, I need to rest. Please leave, Prince Li Zheng!"

Bai Zhi’er was somewhat astonished.

Fu Xiru was unexpectedly assertive!

Suddenly!

A loud "snap" sounded.

Long Xiyuan frowned tightly.

Bai Zhi’er slapped him: "Why are you waiting? Someone hit your wife, go teach him a lesson!"

Long Xiyuan abruptly pushed the door and entered.

Fu Xiru was still holding her face, while Prince Li Zheng raised his hand high, as if ready to slap again.

Long Xiyuan witnessed it firsthand, more shocking than just hearing about it.

He was furious: "Outrageous! Prince Li Zheng, what are you doing?"

Prince Li Zheng hadn’t anticipated the Emperor’s arrival at all.

Given that he knew the morning court session discussed Great Chu’s war outbreak.

Long Xiyuan needed to consider whether to send troops to Great Chu and seize the opportunity.

Thus, after court, it was expected for the Emperor to discuss state affairs in the Imperial Study Room.

But unexpectedly, Long Xiyuan came.

And happened to catch him slapping the Empress.

Prince Li Zheng came to his senses, hurriedly knelt: "Emperor, please calm down. I didn’t slap the Empress."

Long Xiyuan walked over, pulled Fu Xiru’s hand away, and saw the glaring red mark on her face.

He was extremely angry: "You still want to argue? Xiru, you tell me, did he hit you?!"

Fu Xiru’s flickering gaze turned to Prince Li Zheng.

Bai Zhi’er hurriedly reminded: "Lady! The Emperor is your husband. If you’ve suffered grievances, you should trust your husband, believe he can protect you!"

Fu Xiru’s eyelashes trembled.

Many grievances transformed into tears, she cried as she buried herself in Long Xiyuan’s embrace.

"Prince Li Zheng slapped me."

Boom——

This statement was like a spark, igniting all the anger within Long Xiyuan.
