Chapter 60 The Second Prince is Injured
Every autumn rain brings a chill. Yesterday, it drizzled all day. Finally, a sunny day arrived.
There are more people walking around in the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Zhengui sat in the pavilion, looking at the cloudless sky, and said to the eldest princess, "Take your brother out to play."
The eldest princess responded happily and then went to hold the second prince's hand.
The eldest princess was seven years old, and the second prince was five, with only a two-year age difference between the two children. They could play together.
The second prince shook off the eldest princess's hand: "Sister, come and chase me."
The two children began to play a game of chase. At first, Guiguifei would follow the child with her eyes, occasionally admonishing him, "Be careful, run slower."
Later, not only was there a wet nurse accompanying them, but seeing the two children playing happily, Concubine Zhengui felt much more relieved.
Concubine Zhengui took a sip of tea and just said something to Linglong.
The accident happened.
The Second Prince's crying voice reached her ears from not far away. Concubine Zhengui was stunned for a few seconds before she stood up in a trance and ran to the Second Prince's side.
The second prince was held in the arms of his wet nurse, his forehead covered in blood.
Concubine Zhengui was frightened, her mind went blank, her limbs were so weak that she almost fell down, and her head was a little dizzy.
She stood there woodenly until she heard the Second Prince mumbling something, then she rushed to him like crazy.
She held the Second Prince tightly in her arms, pressing hard on his injured forehead, and scolded the nurse: "How do you look at people? If anything happens to Jing Shi, eight hundred lives will not be enough to compensate you."
Tears welled up in my eyes and I felt helpless.
Linglong picked up the Second Prince and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, let's go back to Fuyao Palace. Let's call the imperial physician first."
Concubine Zhengui nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. Let's ask the imperial physician to come and see first." Then she walked towards Fuyao Palace.
The eldest princess looked confused and had not yet recovered from what had just happened.
Concubine Zhengui paused and yelled, "What do you think of my brother? If anything happens to him, I'll deal with you."
The eldest princess was also frightened, "It's not me, it's not me."
Her brother asked her to chase him. She was obviously running very slowly, but her brother didn't look at the road, tripped and hit his forehead on a stone.
Concubine Zhengui pushed her away in disgust.
But with this push, the eldest princess leaned backward uncontrollably, and the back of her head happened to hit the vase.
As soon as Concubine Zhengui took a step, she saw this scene. Her thoughts fell into chaos and confusion, as if entangled by invisible threads.
At a loss.
The wet nurse quickly picked up the eldest princess and ran towards Fuyao Palace.
Concubine Zhengui's limbs felt weak and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down her forehead.
…
The second prince only had a scratch on his forehead and was not seriously injured. However, the eldest princess hit the back of her head on a stone and lost a lot of blood, so she needed to be nursed back to health.
After Xie Junyao learned the whole story, he was so angry that he severely scolded Concubine Zhengui in front of the servants.
He finally understood. Even with repeated assurances, biased people will never realize their mistakes. This time, he actually hurt Yu'er and still didn't repent.
Xie Junyao felt sorry for his daughter from the bottom of his heart. He knew that his daughter had always longed for the love of her mother since she was a child.
"Before Jingshi recovers, Yu'er should move out of Fuyao Palace."
Concubine Zhengui was naturally unwilling. With red eyes, she pleaded, "Your Majesty, Yu'er has been growing up by my side since she was a child. I'm afraid she won't be used to it if I ask her to move out. Besides, I can take good care of Yu'er and Jingshi."
She pulled at the corner of Xie Junyao's clothes.
Xie Junyao's expression was very calm: "Can you really take care of Yu'er and Jingshi at the same time?"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves.
Concubine Zhengui knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, Yu'er cannot leave me. Please don't let Yu'er move out."
Xie Junyao actually didn't understand why she didn't care about Yu'er and even pushed her down when Jingshi fell. Why didn't she let Yu'er move out?
The best solution was to get Yu'er to move out of Fuyao Palace. Finding a good place for her to recover would not only allow her to recover properly, but also alleviate the pain she felt from this incident.
Seeing that Xie Junyao had made up his mind and would not tolerate rejection, Concubine Zhengui started with the eldest princess, "Yu'er, tell me, do you want to leave your mother? Do you want to move out?"
Even though she looked gentle, it was easy to see that there was no warmth in her eyes. If there was any, it was a threat. Her tone was the suffocating warning a mother would use on her daughter.
Xie Junyao snorted and stood between Concubine Zhengui and the eldest princess. "Yu'er, do you want to stay in Fuyao Palace or move out? Don't be afraid of your mother. Your father will make the decision for you."
Concubine Zhengui's heart sank.
"I want to...move out of Fuyao Palace."
Concubine Zhengui gritted her teeth. If it were any other time, she would have been punished with a ruler.
Xie Junyao's expression softened a bit: "Then is there a palace you want to visit, or a concubine you like?"
The eldest princess looked up timidly at Xie Junyao.
Just as he was about to speak, he gave up and lowered his head.
"What's wrong, Yu'er?"
The eldest princess clutched the corner of her clothes in confusion. Her mother always said that she was a trouble and she was afraid of bringing trouble to others, especially to the people she loved.
After a long time, she gave up struggling and said, "Wherever your father tells me to go, I will go."
Xie Junyao sighed, rubbed the eldest princess's head, and said to Li Dexian, "Let's take the eldest princess to Chengqian Palace first."
…
Wen Wanyu was personally invited to Chengqian Palace by Li Dexian.
She also heard that the eldest princess and the second prince were injured, and was still wondering why the emperor summoned her instead of accompanying the eldest princess and the second prince.
Li Dexian secretly told her that the emperor was considering a new destination for the eldest princess.
Wen Wanyu was confused again. Did the emperor want her to raise the eldest princess? But she was still a concubine, a position too low.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Xie Junyao glanced at her and said, "I'm coming."
The eldest princess' eyes lit up when she saw her.
Xie Junyao smiled and said, "Yu'er, you should still like Ling Jieyu."
Wen Wanyu: "..." What are you talking about? What do you mean by still liking her?
The eldest princess blinked and said it directly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Then, would you be willing to stay in Ling Jieyu's Chang Lixuan for the time being?"
The eldest princess glanced at Wen Wanyu, as if asking for her opinion.
Wen Wanyu quickly said, "As long as the eldest princess wants, Chang Lixuan will always welcome you."
Xie Junyao waved at her.
Wen Wanyu walked over.
Xie Junyao put his arm around her shoulders and said to her, "I feel relieved that Yu'er is with you."
