Upon hearing that Yu Jingchen had arrived, Zhao Zhaorong's expression changed, and everyone in the pavilion immediately knelt down, except for Nan Zhiyun and Qianxia.
"Your Majesty, are you alright..." Qianxia looked at her mistress's pale face and was a little worried.
"What happened?" Yu Jingchen didn't even look at her closely, only knowing that Nan Zhiyun didn't look well, so he immediately went over and pulled her into his arms.
"Ouch~" Nan Zhiyun cried out in pain. Her injuries hadn't fully healed to begin with, and when Yu Wan'er was pushed like that, she fell directly onto her feet and bumped into the stone bench behind her. It was really unbearable.
"Sweetie, let me see." Yu Jingchen carried her to the table and sat her down. He then squatted down slightly to check Nan Zhiyun's foot. It seemed to be fine, but Yu Jingchen was still worried.
"Xinglai, summon the imperial physician to take a look," Yu Jingchen ordered. Xinglai knew what to do and resigned herself to making the arrangements.
"It's alright, okay?" Yu Jingchen pulled the person into his arms to comfort him.
Then he looked at the rows of people kneeling on the ground, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Zhaorong panicked just now, especially when she saw how nervous Yu Jingchen was about Nan Zhiyun. She didn't mean to hurt Nan Zhiyun.
"What's going on?!" Yu Jingchen's tone was filled with hidden anger.
"Your Majesty... the Second Princess just fell by accident, so I let her in. But the servants around her were so rude and didn't seem to care at all. Consort Zhao came over to take the Second Princess back, but the Second Princess refused and pulled on me. Consort Zhao accidentally pushed the Second Princess, which is why she bumped into me." Nan Zhiyun quickly recounted what had happened.
Yu Jingchen glanced at her and saw Yu Wan'er kneeling to one side, trembling, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Princess, please rise," Yu Jingchen said, his voice slightly calmer.
“…No, I wouldn’t dare,” Yu Wan’er didn’t dare to lift her head, which annoyed Yu Jingchen.
"The ground is quite cold, and the Second Princess seems to be injured." Nan Zhiyun noticed Yu Jingchen's displeasure and added.
"Help the Second Princess up." Yu Jingchen did not get angry.
The palace maid helped Yu Wan'er up, and Yu Jingchen looked at Zhao Zhaorong: "You didn't listen to a word I said to you last time, did you?" Yu Jingchen's voice was icy.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I remember everything. I only wanted to take Wan'er back to the palace just now," said Consort Zhao.
"So this is how the palace maids serve you?" Yu Jingchen's voice was completely flat, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!" The palace maid was truly terrified this time.
"Drag him away and beat him to death." Yu Jingchen didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" The palace maid was still begging for mercy, but her mouth was immediately covered and she was pulled away.
Zhao Zhaorong was trembling with fear, not daring to speak or beg for mercy.
"I don't think you're suitable to raise the Second Princess anymore. What do you think?" Yu Jingchen still had the mind to ask Zhao Zhaorong.
"Your Majesty?" Zhao Zhaorong looked at Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen ignored her and instead looked at the cowering Yu Wan'er. In his previous life, he had spent some time with this daughter. Perhaps it was because he was too lonely later on, so he wanted to find some comfort, but unfortunately, it only lasted a few days because he didn't like this daughter's personality.
