Upon hearing Nan Zhiyun's words, Yu Jingchen was stunned. What did she say? Seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard, Yu Jingchen gently pulled Nan Zhiyun away and then looked at him, asking, "What?" she asked.
"Your Majesty said, Your Majesty wants to try...maybe." Nan Zhiyun didn't even know what she was thinking when she said those words, and after she finished speaking, she felt her face burning up.
Yu Jingchen smiled, a gentle smile. He reached out and lightly touched Nan Zhiyun's face: "It's alright, no rush, take your time." Yu Jingchen didn't want to force her; he could see that the little girl was very frightened.
“Okay…” Nan Zhiyun didn’t know where she got the courage to say such a thing.
"Sweetie, your foot injury hasn't healed yet. Rest well first, okay? We can talk about this later. Let's not think about today's matter." Yu Jingchen didn't want to do these things at this time. He felt that Nan Zhiyun was forced into it, so he didn't want to wrong her.
Nan Zhiyun didn't speak again. Yu Jingchen helped her tidy her hair and said, "Rest here for a while. You must have been frightened by what happened. I'll have someone bring you a bowl of calming soup. I'll come and keep you company after I finish what I'm doing. Lingdang got something on her that she shouldn't have, so I had them check it. I'll bring it to you later. Okay?" Yu Jingchen asked gently.
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Zhiyun nodded. Only then did Yu Jingchen feel relieved and get up to leave. Nan Zhiyun stared blankly in the direction Yu Jingchen had left, lost in thought. Qianxia, who was serving her, didn't disturb her.
After leaving, Princess Yu returned to the palace with Yu Yan.
“Mother Consort…” Yu Yan was a little scared. Princess Consort Yu hadn’t said a word the whole way, and she was also feeling uneasy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Princess Yu slapped her across the face, and Yu Yan fell to the ground.
“Mother…” Yu Yan did not expect that Princess Yu would hit her.
"How dare you do such a thing? Do you want the entire Prince Yu's mansion to be buried with you?" Princess Yu, who had maintained a very composed demeanor, completely broke down at this moment.
"Mother, it's not like that, I didn't know it would be like this. I thought it wouldn't be discovered, it's all that beast's fault!" Yu Yan also cried, her words vehement.
"Still not repenting? You've really been spoiled rotten, haven't you?! Guards, bring the family discipline!" Princess Yu was truly enraged this time.
Yu Yan was terrified at the mere mention of family discipline. Although Princess Yu rarely laid a hand on her, she had been subjected to it before. Yu Yan was always afraid whenever she saw that thing.
A servant brought over a heavy sandalwood ruler. Yu Yan kept begging for mercy, but Princess Yu remained unmoved, seemingly having no intention of letting her off the hook.
Of course, she will not be spared. This time she has committed such a heinous crime that she not only cannot be forgiven, but must be severely punished!
"Hold her down and beat her!" Princess Yu didn't even dismiss the servants, and directly ordered her to pin Yu Yan to the ground and start beating her.
"You haven't eaten, have you? Beat them hard, beat them to death! If you dare to go easy on them, the paddle will be on your bodies in a moment!" Princess Yu was still blaming the people who were being punished for being too lenient.
I no longer dared to be lenient with the servants, and I became much more forceful in my movements.
