"Your Highness, this child is too young. Because she has suffered multiple severe blows, her spleen has been damaged. Even if she is cured now, her life span will be affected. She is too young and her kidneys have not yet fully developed. Even medication will not help.

These are traumas caused by blows and cannot be cured at all, so in the future, tell her not to be angry and try to be happier.

At the same time, this child's health is damaged. Also... perhaps being immersed in cold water so many times could affect her future offspring. Unless we can find some rare and precious materials to treat her, it will be difficult for her to have children. But there's no guarantee. For now, take good care of her and we'll see how she performs when she's older."

Zhou Qingyun couldn't believe what she heard. How old was she? Only about five years old. How could she be so harsh on such a child? It even had problems with having children in the future. Being born in the royal family was full of disasters for a child like this. It was even difficult for them to get married. This child even had difficulty being a chess piece. If no one took care of him, it was doubtful whether he could grow up.

After all, as a girl from the royal family, her only use is in marriage. But now that she has such a serious health problem, even marriage may not be useful, so this child is destined to be abandoned.

Zhou Qingyun put down the teacup in her hand, stood up from the chair, walked to the bedside, and looked at the child who was already asleep. Perhaps because the room was warm, there was nothing to worry about. Because of the treatment, the doctors were applying medicine to the scars on the child's arms and legs. She looked at the bloody marks and those wounds that seemed to have healed but left scars.

Because the child was young, there was no distinction between men and women, so the imperial physician simply cut off all her clothes. This was mainly because the blood on her body had stuck to her body over time. Imperial Physician Xia was worried that if he took off her clothes, it would hurt her wound again, so he simply cut off her clothes with scissors.

There was hardly a single piece of good skin on the little child's body. It was mostly covered with long and thin scars, which looked like they were caused by being whipped with bamboo sticks. Some places had already left scars, which were tiny bumps attached to the skin, as if a centipede was crawling on his body. It was really uncomfortable for him to watch. He really couldn't believe that his own father would just watch his concubine bullying his own daughter.

He didn't know what he was thinking for a moment, he just felt very ironic. It turned out that none of the women who married into their Zhou family were easy to deal with, and some were even more cruel than him. How could he have the nerve to say that their Zhou family was not human?

"You should know what's going on in the palace, what to say and what not to say. Take good care of her. If you need anything, just go to my private storehouse and get it. If you don't have any medicinal herbs, just tell me and I'll find a way.

There's no need to tell anyone else about Jia Jia's injury, not even the Emperor. She's still too young, and who can say for sure about her fertility? After all, she's still a princess of the royal family. No matter what happens, her status won't change. Even if you're drunk, hold on tight and don't let me find out who told the story."

"Yes, I will obey your highness's order. We will never tell anyone. I will go and make medicine for the little princess first."

All the imperial doctors knelt down at the same time and promised together. Imperial Doctor Xia went out to make medicine for the child. Given the child's condition, he definitely couldn't leave the palace today. He asked his colleagues to help send a message home, and then he made preparations to stay here permanently.

At this time, Zhou Qingyun just stood by the bed with his eyes closed, and didn't want to say anything. To be honest, he was really disappointed with his mother. Why did she do such a thing? Isn't this child her biological child?

At such a young age, she had already soaked in cold water many times. She might even not be able to have children in the future. This is because a woman's only support is her own children. Now her biological mother has interrupted her delusion.

I really don't know what this child's life will be like in the future. I opened my eyes and looked at the small figure on the bed. I slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Jia Jia's little face. Jia Jia is still young, but you can see the shadow of Zhang Qianqian in her face. Zhang Qianqian is definitely not bad looking, otherwise King Rui would not have spoiled Zhang Qianqian so much after resolving the misunderstanding.

He had seen this child's eyes before. They were especially like those of Prince Rui, and also like his own. However, their Zhou family had inherited the phoenix eyes. So Zhang Qianqian must have treated her child like this after seeing these eyes. He gently stroked her face, which was a little hot. This was normal. After all, the beating had caused some inflammation on her body.

"Zhou Qi, arrange for a few trustworthy people to stay with the little princess. Let her live in this palace from now on. Also, give orders that all expenses and standards for this child must be in accordance with the princess's system. As for Prince Rui, if he wants to visit, kick him out immediately.

From now on, this child won't have to see anyone from the Rui Palace anymore. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me. I want to see who has the nerve to ask me for someone else's help."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will arrange it right away. Do you want to arrange for a few more maids? The young princess doesn't seem to understand the palace rules very well."

"Well, let's arrange it directly. Investigate it thoroughly and don't let anyone take advantage of the situation. Send spies directly. Anyone who dares to put his hand into Hengshui Palace will have his claws chopped off. No mercy."

Zhou Qingyun thought for a long time and decided to cut off all ties between the child and Prince Rui's Mansion. Otherwise, with the mother's energy, the child would definitely not survive for a few days. Even if he sent her back, Zhang Qianqian would probably become even more violent. It would be better to keep the child in the palace. Without this child, Zhang Qianqian probably wouldn't dare to act too violently. After all, she no longer had the golden ticket to immunity from death.
