“Butler Shen, your daughter pushed Princess Cherry into the pool in the garden and Princess Cherry almost drowned. Do you think she is guilty?”
Butler Shen was shocked. He had already covered up what happened last time for her, and now she has created such a grave mistake again.
“Wanxin, is it true? How could you do this to the princess?”
Shen Wanxin did not expect that Ying Bao would be so lucky. In the end, she was still saved and they had reported the incident to the police.
However, it was impossible for her to confess. In front of the king, Shen Wanxin kneeled down and explained, “Your Majesty, I really didn’t know that the princess fell into the water. This has nothing to do with me. I went to the garden to water all the flowers before leaving. I really didn’t see the princess go over.”
“You’re still denying it? Fine, let’s not talk about this for now. Then how do you explain what happened in Zstan?”
Huangfu Xuanye took out a document that was provided to him by Tang Feimo. He took it out and let Sheng Yi read the contents.
“You hired someone to create a car accident and almost caused Cherry to lose her life in Zstan. You even implicated an innocent victim. Shen Wanxin, you are really evil!”
Huangfu Xuanye patted the armrest of the throne with a stern expression.
Shen Wanxin was so frightened that she fell to the ground. She did not expect that she would still be discovered even though she had done it so secretly.
“Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Xin’er. It’s me… I’m the mastermind,” Butler Shen said, trying to protect his daughter as he broke out in cold sweat and got on his knees.
Huangfu Xuanye looked at Butler Shen and said, “Butler Shen, you want to plead for your daughter, but you are not the mastermind. At most, you can be considered to be covering up for her. The ultimatum issued by Zstan to the Northern Kingdom’s embassy has already been obtained by the people you sent. However, not only did you not persuade your daughter to surrender herself, you even covered up her crimes. Now, if I don’t punish you all, I will not be worthy of being the king. Men, take Butler Shen into custody and detain her. Hand her over to the police of Zstan.”
“Your Majesty, your Majesty…”
Both father and daughter were taken away from the main hall.
This represented the decline of the Shen family in the Northern Kingdom. What awaited Shen Wanxin was imprisonment enforced by Zstan.
Huangfu Xuanye returned to the master bedroom after handling those matters overnight.
Ying Bao had not woken up yet. When night fell, Ying Bao woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Huangfu Xuanye beside her. She called out, “Uncle.” “You’re awake?”
Huangfu Xuanye held her hand and asked, “How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine.”
Ying Bao was about to get up when Huangfu Xuanye helped her up. “Are you hungry?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve asked the chef to prepare dinner. Let’s go eat together!”
“Okay.”
Huangfu Xuanye brought Ying Bao to the dining room and sat down. The chef served a delicious steak, but for some reason, Ying Bao felt nauseous when she smelled the beef.
“What’s wrong, Cherry?” Huangfu Xuanye asked as he patted her back.
“Uncle, is there something wrong with my head? Why do I feel like vomiting after seeing the steak?”
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“Yes.”
“Maybe it’s because you almost drowned,” Huangfu Xuanye said decisively. “Don’t eat the steak anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup now.”
Huangfu Xuanye went out with Ying Bao in his arms. Sheng Yi got the car ready and they soon arrived at the Royal Hospital.
After the examination, the doctor told Huangfu Xuanye, “Your Majesty, Princess Cherry is fine, but…”
“But what?” Huangfu Xuanye asked nervously.
