This was an unexpected surprise! After all, if someone went to the Emperor through another person's name, it would inevitably raise suspicion of complaining. But as Mingxuan's mother, Consort Ping could speak about this matter with complete confidence!
Moreover, this way, Yinreng wouldn't need to step forward. Although Yinreng patted his chest and assured her that he was also full of a sense of justice and wanted to take the blame for this matter.
But after all, he's still a 7-year-old boy, and Jingrou was a little worried that letting her stand out would attract too much attention...
Hitara was stunned. She actually had better options than Consort Ping. After all, she had built up her foundation in the Imperial Household Department over the years, and her position was higher than Consort Ping's. However, Hitara thought Consort Ping was stupid and easy to fool, and that she had a weak presence.
To be on the safe side, she decided to choose Consort Ping—although she was powerful in the Imperial Household Department, she also had mortal enemies.
Sure enough, she lived a very comfortable life during the years she stayed in Chuxiu Palace.
Everyone, from top to bottom, treated her with utmost respect.
Especially as Princess Mingxuan began to learn etiquette, she had to pay her respects to Consort Ping almost every day. She felt that her status in Consort Ping's heart was about to be comparable to that of her dowry nanny!
He had originally thought that these pleasant days would continue as Princess Mingxuan grew up, then she would marry into the Mongol tribe, and he could move to another place to continue being a comfortable ruler...
Her legs went weak. Although she was acting tough in Chuxiu Palace, it didn't mean she would act the same way when she saw the Empress Dowager. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was ingrained in their bones.
Consort Ping usually appears gentle and unhurried, and even when it comes to vying for the emperor's favor, she doesn't seem to be able to muster much energy. Yet, she is willing to go to such lengths for her daughter. Lady Hitara blinked.
She looked at Consort Ping in front of her and felt that she was a stranger. Mingxuan held her mother's hand tightly and looked up at her in a fit of rage.
******
This was the time when their mistress's emotions were most volatile. Everyone in Chuxiu Palace was on edge. They had forgotten that their kind mistress, whom they had seen for so many years, was, after all, a girl from Mongolia.
Because of Consort Ping's anger, the people of Chuxiu Palace acted quickly, sending a nimble eunuch directly to Cining Palace. They did not go to see the Empress Dowager, as the Empress Dowager's health had not been good recently, and they dared not disturb her. Instead, they went directly to see the Empress Dowager.
At this time, Yinreng, who happened to be visiting the Empress Dowager, also heard the fluent report from the visitor. He was surprised, as this was different from what he had expected and agreed upon.
However, she reacted quickly. Although she didn't know why things had gone wrong, she still managed to achieve her goal. At this moment, she put down her tea, stood up, and said, "Grandma, although I don't know what happened, shouldn't we go and see? I wonder how Sister Mingxuan is?"
With him speaking like this, the Empress Dowager had no reason to refuse.
Not to mention the trouble that happened to the girls in the palace, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well and has just taken her medicine and gone to sleep, so we must not disturb her.
Besides, Consort Ping was, after all, from the Borjigit family…
Thinking of that woman, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Consort Ping had already summoned the imperial physician to treat Mingxuan.
When the imperial physician arrived carrying his box, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the injuries on the little princess's body.
People who do this kind of thing are used to not having too much emotional fluctuation, but he had never seen such severe external injuries before.
Previously, he mostly treated noblewomen from the palace who either suffered from heart ailments or had some physical discomfort, but they had never actually suffered any major external injuries…
