It turns out to be Consort Zhangjia, the birth mother of the Thirteenth Prince. She was quite pleased with herself; she was going to avenge her son.

Yan Yue gripped her sleeve, looking at her worriedly. Yu Xiu also looked tense, but He Yue didn't care. She had no intention of hiding this matter. People in the palace would find out sooner or later, so worrying was useless.

Irgen Gioro turned back and smiled reassuringly at Heyue, silently saying, "Don't worry."

Heyue blinked, secretly wondering why her mother wasn't angry. However, her mother's attitude made her feel even better.

Zhangjia's face stiffened, and she lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes. "Consort De, please calm down. I had no intention of spoiling His Majesty's mood. It's just that I was extremely worried about the Thirteenth Prince when I first heard about this. Although he wasn't raised by my side, I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. Consort De raised him as her own son. He is a prince of high status and nobility. How could he allow a commoner like me to bully him? I was only thinking of His Majesty and Consort De. Besides, if the Thirteenth Prince hadn't been concerned about the other party's youth and her being a girl, how could he have let her get away with it? If he had, he would have been branded as a bully of the weak. It's understandable that the Thirteenth Prince didn't retaliate."

This statement both condemned the person who hit the thirteenth prince and explained that the thirteenth prince was not bad at martial arts, but simply unwilling to argue with a woman.

This somewhat eased the displeasure on Kangxi's face.

"Oh? A princess from the Marhan family?" Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face gradually darkened, her tone revealing displeasure: "How dare she injure a prince! She is far too audacious. Emperor, she must not be let off lightly."
