She glanced at her father timidly, then lowered her head in fear again.

The emperor remembered that this child was the closest to him back then, and always loved to act like a baby around him, calling him "Father" softly, and he felt guilty in his heart.

How could she become like this?

It was clear that he had decreed that there would be no shortage of food and clothing for her.

Those damn slaves who work in secret and in disguise!

The emperor looked at Xie Ning and suppressed his anger, "What's going on?"

"Back to your majesty, I understand that the slaves in the cold palace have been depriving the princess of food and clothing this year, and punching and kicking her at every turn. In the past few days, after the eunuchs disappeared, the princess directly stopped eating and could only

...You can only compete with the palace dogs for food."

The emperor was so angry that his whole face turned black. His daughter, the noble eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, was reduced to competing with dogs for food.

The emperor had the desire to kill people.

He closed his eyes and raised his hand to stroke his daughter's dry hair. Seeing her shrinking and fearful look, a trace of regret appeared on his face, "Shan Shan, it's my father's fault."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

"Fuquan, take His Highness to Chengqian Palace, let the imperial doctor examine her injuries, and instruct the palace staff to take good care of her."

"yes."

"Xie Ning, the princess is living like this, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I am aware of the crime. However, after the eunuchs were killed earlier, the princess must have been frightened, so she hid. I also searched for several days before I found Her Highness snatching food from a dog in a blind corner of the palace."

A vein popped up on the emperor's forehead, "Go and ask Concubine Qi to come and see me. Is this how she manages the harem?"

"yes."

As for asking Zhen Shan if he had seen the murderer who recently disturbed the palace, the emperor put it aside for the time being.

He was not so crazy that his daughter became like that, yet he still went to interrogate her.

It's just that the emperor is in a bad mood, and someone has to bear his anger.

Fortunately, Concubine Qi was shot.

Who asked her to take charge of the harem on behalf of the queen, but made the princess in the cold palace worse than a dog?

No matter how the emperor felt when he relegated his favorite daughter to the cold palace, it was impossible not to be angry when his princess, a legitimate princess, became like this.

The emperor cannot make mistakes, so others must bear the responsibility for their mistakes.

Xie Ning stood outside the royal study with his hands behind his hands, looking at the blue sky. Thinking of Zhen Shan's perfect acting skills just now, the smile on his thin lips deepened.

In front of him, she was a shrewd and sophisticated little hedgehog; in front of the emperor, she was a miserable little pitiful person. Every move she made touched people's hearts and calculated that others would do what she wanted.

At such a young age, there was such a terrifying city, and he really couldn't compare to it back then.

So, if this grows up, what will happen?

Well, he's looking forward to it.

…

The chief eunuch around the emperor arranged Zhen Shan in a side hall of the emperor's palace, and asked the imperial doctor to bandage her wounds. He also ordered the palace servants to wash her carefully and prepare food for her, which was very thoughtful.

Also, how can someone who can serve an emperor not know how to do things?

Even though Fuquan didn't know whether the emperor would send His Highness the Princess to the cold palace again, but now, when the Emperor was filled with guilt and his father's love flourished, as a slave, if he took good care of His Highness the Princess and flattered the Emperor, then

You can't go wrong.

"Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that your spleen and stomach are very weak, so I have prepared some soft and glutinous millet porridge and easy-to-digest pastries for you."

Zhen Shan seemed to be sitting on the chair uneasily, looking at the exquisite food on the table, and then at Fu Quan, and was too nervous to do anything.

"Your Highness, don't you like these things?"

Zhen Shan was startled and quickly waved his hand, "No, it's not."

"Then let me serve you for dinner."

"Thank you, thank you."

"Ah, Your Highness is the master, there is no need to say thank you to the slave."

Zhen Shan lowered his eyes, had he ever had a master like Cheng Yuan Shen?

In the palace, only those who are loved by those in power are called masters.

She picked up the spoon and ate slowly even though she was very hungry. She did not gobble it up. She took a bite and looked at Fuquan, as if she was afraid that he would turn against her the next moment and beat her like the eunuchs in the cold palace.

Fuquan sighed unconsciously. If he dared to speak louder now, the Princess would definitely lose her chopsticks in fear and not dare to eat anymore.

How could the dignified eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom be mistreated like this?

Fuquan also watched her birth, and he felt pity in his heart when he remembered that this little princess was cute and lovable in the past. She never had any airs about her and was not kind to slaves like them.

If the Queen had been softer back then, she would not have brought the princess to such an extent today.

Halfway through the meal, the emperor came back.

Zhen Shan was so frightened that he lost his chopsticks. He stood up suddenly and wanted to kneel down.

The emperor quickly walked over and helped her with his own hands.

"Shanshan, don't be afraid. Father is just here to take a look. You continue to eat."

Zhen Shan bit her lip lightly and looked at him timidly, but did not dare to move her chopsticks again.

The emperor sighed softly, "Father is also hungry. Can you eat with me?"

She sat on the chair nervously for a long time before nodding cautiously.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he put a piece of pastry into her bowl.

"Thank you, thank you father."

Although it was very quiet, the emperor still heard it, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

Zhen Shan finished the millet porridge and ate several pieces of cake. She wanted to eat more, but the emperor quickly stopped her.

Zhen Shan quickly retracted his hand and did not dare to move anymore. He was fidgeting as if he had made a big mistake and would be beaten later.

Seeing this, Fuquan quickly explained, "Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that your spleen and stomach are weak and you cannot eat so much. Your Majesty is worried that you will not be able to bear it."

"Later, my father will ask someone to prepare snacks for you. Eat more and less, it will be good for your health."

Zhen Shan raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes filled with mist.

"What's wrong? But the wound hurts?"

She shook her head, sobbed and called him softly, "Father."

The emperor walked up to her and touched her head, "Father is here."

Zhen Shan's shoulders trembled, feeling wronged and scared, "Father, Father, Shanshan misses you so much, why don't you want Shanshan?"
