The virtuous concubine wanted to stop it, but under the emperor's threatening gaze, she could only shrink her head.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she was overthinking it.
But the first words the old lady said shattered all her hopes:
"Your Majesty, I saw Your Majesty letting the little princess soak in ice water and even opening the window to let in the fresh air!"
It’s so cold these days, not to mention a child, even an adult would get sick after such a hard time!
She has been taking care of the little princess since she was born.
The little princess has been in good health since she was a child. She is very soft and cuddly. She always smiles at her with her little mouth, which makes her heart melt.
Then one day, the little princess suddenly fell ill.
She was terrified.
I reflect on myself three times a day, fearing that I might have done something wrong and failed to take good care of the little princess.
The virtuous concubine did not blame her at the time, which made her feel even more guilty. From then on, she took better care of the little princess.
Fortunately, the little princess was in good health and recovered quickly.
But since then, the little princess has been sick every now and then, and she has been worried every day.
If she hadn't seen that scene tonight when she got up, she would never have thought that there would be such a cruel mother in the world!
If she hadn't seen that scene, she wouldn't have thought of what happened when the little princess fell ill in the past.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The virtuous concubine immediately retorted, "I appreciate your care for the little princess. Even if you haven't done anything for her, you've certainly worked hard. Even though the little princess is often ill, I've never blamed you. How dare you turn the tables and slander me?!"
The old nanny stared at Concubine Xian with her old eyes:
"Since Your Majesty has a clear conscience, why don't you blame me? The little princess is Your Majesty's daughter. She's often sick because of my poor care. Why don't You ever suspect that I did something to the little princess?
"What? Your Majesty can't speak? Then let me speak for you! In order to see His Majesty, you must have done a lot of things like this over the years, right?
"Every time the little princess is sick, you always say that if His Majesty doesn't give the order, the people in the Imperial Hospital won't do their best. So every time you have to wait for His Majesty's approval before you send someone to call the imperial physician!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Xian’s face turned pale instantly.
However, she had already applied a thick layer of powder on her face, so no one noticed the change in her expression.
"I'm just worried about the little princess! Don't talk nonsense! And don't try to slander me! His Majesty is very discerning and won't be fooled by you!"
She glared at the old lady and defended herself.
However, everyone present could tell that she was timid.
A group of palace servants couldn't help but whisper, "Yes! I've always found it strange! Our little princess is His Majesty's only child. How dare those people in the Imperial Hospital not do their best?"
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital: ...
Are there any people in the world who are more wronged than them? !
I feel so wronged.
They were already terrified because they hadn't been able to rescue the little princess, and they were afraid that His Majesty would vent his anger on them.
"Your Majesty, please understand! We, your servants, would never neglect the little princess even if we were to die!"
That is His Majesty's only son!
How brave do they have to be to deceive the little princess?!
This virtuous concubine used to be gentle and lovely, but why does she suddenly look so hideous today?
The emperor ignored the doctors' complaints and only gave Concubine Xian a cold look.
"I will listen to your explanation. Xianfei, tell me, how are you going to argue with me about delaying the little princess's illness?!"
This "quibble" actually shows the emperor's attitude.
The virtuous concubine's body softened and she suddenly fell to the ground, not knowing how to respond.
She was not a smart person, and her father was only a county magistrate who had never been promoted.
If she had not given birth to the emperor's only child, she would not have climbed to the position of the head of the four concubines, and even surpassed the Shufei who had a powerful family background.
She dared to do those things only because she relied on the fact that she was the biological mother of the little princess.
But now, the little princess is gone.
For a moment, Concubine Xian felt a little regretful.
It wasn't that he regretted what he had done to the little princess, but that he regretted that he had gone too far and lost his amulet.
The emperor snorted coldly:
"The virtuous concubine is cruel and ruthless, making her unfit to be a mother. The little princess will henceforth be recorded under the Empress's name, and will henceforth regard her as her biological mother. She will be stripped of her title of virtuous concubine, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to a secluded alley. Pray for the little princess's well-being, and she will never be allowed out!"
Youxiang was the cold palace of the current dynasty, where the concubines of the previous emperor still lived.
The virtuous concubine collapsed to the ground.
After a while, she suddenly realized what was happening and knelt down towards the emperor:
"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! Your Majesty! Please forgive me this time! I will never dare to do it again! Your Majesty! Please forgive me! I didn't mean it! I don't know why she was so weak, Your Majesty..."
"Three straights!"
There was anger in the emperor's voice.
San Shunzi immediately understood and called two people over to cover the virtuous concubine's mouth and drag her away.
The old nanny couldn't stop crying. Seeing that the culprit had been punished, she turned around and kowtowed heavily in the direction of the little princess:
"Little princess, I am incompetent and failed to protect you. In my next life, I will work like a slave and use my life to protect you! Princess, please wait for me!"
After saying this with a sob, she suddenly stood up and rushed out.
"Stop it now!"
San Shunzi shouted.
However, it was still a step too late.
With a "bang", blood splattered everywhere.
The emperor looked at this scene and didn't know what to feel.
Some people are mothers and are ruthless towards their children.
