“Your Majesty, should there be a next life, this concubine wishes to never have met you, and to never see each other for all eternity.”
Yu Jingchen hated her, yet the last thing she did i...
This chaotic scene was quite frightening, but only Consort Yin was gloating on the sidelines.
"Your Majesty..." Qianxia was extremely worried. Several people moved the sedan chair that was pressing on Nan Zhiyun's foot away. Nan Zhiyun's face changed color in pain, and tears were also hanging on her face.
"Why aren't you summoning the imperial physician yet?" Qianxia shouted.
"Yes," Xia Yi quickly ran to the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"We'll be at Yunpeng Palace soon. Go find the Imperial Concubine and tell her that she has fallen." There are no tools here to carry Nan Zhiyun away, and it's impossible for her to walk on her own.
"Yes," Qiu Yun also went to Yunpeng Palace.
"Tsk, weren't you quite arrogant? Nan Zhiyun, don't think you can ride roughshod over me just because you're Consort Shu." Consort Yin was still unrepentant.
Nan Zhiyun was in too much pain to speak and didn't have time to deal with her for the time being, but Chunhua wouldn't tolerate it. She was an old nanny in the palace, so what was this?
She slapped Consort Yin again. This time, Consort Yin couldn't stand it and wanted to fight back, but how could a pampered person like her compare to a nanny who was used to doing rough work?
Chunhua pushed the person down directly.
“Consort Yin has violated palace rules by offending Consort Chen Shu, causing her injury. Dong Wan, slap her!” Chunhua said.
Dong Wan had long been fed up with this, and upon hearing this, she stepped forward without saying a word and began to slap Consort Yin. The other palace servants, being perceptive, immediately restrained Consort Yin.
As for Consort Yin's side... that's Consort Chen Shu, they wouldn't dare.
After the Imperial Concubine sent a sedan chair over, Qianxia and the others helped Nan Zhiyun sit down.
“Make her kneel down…” Nan Zhiyun said.
"Yes, Dongwan, keep a close eye on her. If she dares to move, hit her!" Chunhua understood.
"Yes, this servant will keep a close eye on things." Dong Wan was happy to oblige; this Consort Yin dared to offend their mistress today, she was definitely doomed. She just couldn't understand how anyone could be so stupid…
She wasn't the only one who thought so; everyone else felt the same way. Because they hadn't expected Yoon Jae-in to do something so inspiring, they were completely unprepared. Could someone really be that stupid? It wasn't until later... that someone realized it wasn't that Yoon Jae-in was too foolish, but rather that someone else was far too clever...
The closest palace was Yunpeng Palace, so Qianxia had no choice but to carry Nan Zhiyun there first. When she arrived, Consort Yan and Consort De were both there, while Consort Xian... was still copying palace rules. (Refer to chapter 204, where she was punished for criticizing the female lead in front of the Empress Dowager when she returned.)
Aside from Consort Yan and Consort De, there were only other court ladies present. Upon seeing Nan Zhiyun being carried in, Consort Yan immediately went forward to inquire after her well-being.
"Quickly, send them in first. I've had the rooms inside prepared," Consort Yan said, her worry evident on her face.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Qianxia said, and then quickly escorted Nan Zhiyun into the house.
The Imperial Concubine did not go with them; there were still noblewomen here, and she couldn't very well leave so many people here.
Today, in addition to these court ladies, they also brought their younger relatives, so there are quite a few people.
"How is Consort Shu? Your Highness seems to be quite badly injured." These officials' wives were also frightened by Nan Zhiyun's appearance.
"The imperial physician hasn't arrived yet. Don't worry, Consort Shu is a lucky person and should be alright. May we go and tell His Majesty?" Consort Yan asked.
“I’ve already sent someone to report it,” Chunhua replied.
"Hmm," the Imperial Concubine replied, without saying anything else.
Those sitting below have also been concerned, at least on the surface, since appearances always need to be maintained.
"To be honest, Consort Yin is quite impulsive. How could she be so ruthless?" one of the ladies said.
"I'm afraid it's jealousy. Of course she's unhappy about being demoted." This time, it was a young lady from a wealthy family who spoke up.
"Yan'er," the woman next to her called out warningly.
“That’s right, my daughter isn’t wrong, brother, don’t you agree?” The girl looked at the man beside her, who exuded a cool and aloof aura.
"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense." The man smiled gently, his refined manner giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.
The person named Yan'er pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My daughter has been unruly." The woman was dignified and elegant, with graceful and well-mannered manners, clearly well-mannered.
"It's alright, the princess is lively, that's a good thing," Yan Qing said.
This is Princess Ning'an, and the woman just now was Princess Consort Yu. Prince Yu was the late emperor's brother and Yu Jingchen's uncle. He had been frail and sickly since birth, and his health had never been very good. After returning to the capital this year, he had stayed in his original residence and hadn't left, for fear that he might fall ill again.
Princess Yu's family background was quite ordinary. However, Prince Yu only had one princess, and no other concubines or maids. The couple had a son and a daughter, Yu Jiangyan and Yu Yan, respectively. However, Yu Yan was not their biological child. Princess Yu suffered a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to her second child and did not survive. This child was adopted, but Princess Yu and Prince Yu always treated her as their own daughter, and the couple had a very good relationship.
"It's unexpected that Prince Jiang Yan has also entered the palace today." Another male voice spoke. Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see a man dressed in blue. Compared to Yu Jiang Yan's gentle and refined demeanor, he appeared much more sharp and imposing.
This is Liu Yi, the son of the Duke of Liu.
It's no wonder he said that. Back when Yu Jiangyan was in the capital, he was the kind of person who didn't like going out, especially to banquets and the like. They were classmates when they were young, and he was always quiet and didn't interact with others.
"Young Master Liu," Yu Jiangyan nodded slightly, called out, and then fell silent. Liu Yi was embarrassed, glanced at him disdainfully, and drank the cup of tea in front of him. What's with the high and mighty attitude?
The drama here didn't make much of a splash, but the drama at the Hall of Diligent Governance...
Upon hearing that Nan Zhiyun was injured, Yu Jingchen immediately dropped his memorials and rushed over. After hearing the whole story, Yu Jingchen genuinely regretted his lenient punishment...
"Your Majesty, Consort Yin is still kneeling. What do you think we should do with her?" Xinglai asked. Anyway, she was definitely not going to survive... well, she might be in a worse state than death... after all, there's a saying that life is worse than death.
"Then make her kneel. We'll deal with her later." Yu Jingchen didn't have time to deal with her right now; he just wanted to know how badly Nan Zhiyun was injured. If it was serious... Yu Jingchen's eyes immediately turned cold. If it was very serious, she might not be able to afford to pay for it with her life.
When Yu Jingchen arrived at Yunpeng Palace, the court ladies were still there. Upon seeing His Majesty, they quickly rose and bowed, but Yu Jingchen didn't even glance at them before entering the inner chamber.
