The old woman quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, as if her hand had just touched a scalding flame.
She no longer dared to easily advise Consort Mei.
If I drag her back today, I'll be in for a world of trouble.
Everyone knows that Consort Mei, relying on the Emperor's favor, has become increasingly arrogant and domineering, and her vicious nature is made no attempt to conceal.
None of the palace maids and nannies in Plum Blossom Palace were able to escape her clutches.
In front of the Emperor, Consort Mei always pretended to be pitiful and docile like a little white rabbit.
However, when faced with servants of lowly status, even an elderly woman like the nanny could not escape her cruelty.
If anything displeased her in any way, Consort Mei would either beat or scold the palace maids and nannies or hurl insults at them. Who would have thought that she was the emperor's concubine, acting just like a shrew from the marketplace?
At this moment, it was clear that Consort Mei was about to start throwing a tantrum.
The eunuch Wang, who was standing nearby, was quick-witted and immediately waved for two strong eunuchs to come forward and, without saying a word, firmly restrain Consort Mei.
Fearing that Consort Mei might utter some offensive or incoherent words, one of the eunuchs reached out and covered her mouth.
Thus, the once glorious and favored concubine was forcibly taken away in such a wretched state, a situation probably unique in the vast palace.
At this point, Eunuch Wang couldn't care less about anything else.
After all, if Emperor Rongsheng were to wake up and find out about this and blame him, it would have to wait until he was fully awake.
Since things had already come to this point, Grandpa Wang simply adopted a "what's the use of trying" attitude.
Even the incomparably noble Prince Yu had no right to interfere with or control the emperor's concubines.
Since that's the case, he has no choice but to play the villain!
Thinking of this, Eunuch Wang couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if only there were a virtuous and capable empress in the palace to manage everything..."
After hurriedly escorting Consort Mei back, the eunuchs from Plum Blossom Palace quickly slipped away as if their feet were greased.
They were also filled with fear and unease, afraid that Consort Mei might suddenly go mad, and that they, the servants, would be the ones to suffer.
This was truly a hardship for the maids and nannies who served Consort Mei.
As expected, as soon as Consort Mei returned to the palace, she went berserk, smashing and destroying things.
Various precious porcelain, paintings, and other items were damaged and scattered all over the ground.
The older nanny just watched all this coldly, thinking to herself: Let her make a fuss like this, anyway, there probably won't be another chance like this in the future.
It should be noted that the fact that Eunuch Wang dared to so boldly send Consort Mei back today clearly indicates that something has happened on the Emperor's side.
Consort Mei, that foolish woman, is about to lose even the Emperor's favor, the only thing she can rely on, without even realizing it.
As a concubine with a prince by her side, she was forcibly sent back without any mercy.
This not only severely humiliated her, but she also shows no remorse and continues to act willfully and recklessly.
The situation is still unclear.
It's truly outrageous that someone like that could be favored by the emperor for so long.
Just then, the Ninth Prince came out of the inner palace.
When he caught sight of his mother's face, which was contorted with rage, he burst into tears.
"Mother!" The Ninth Prince cried out as he stumbled toward Consort Mei, trying to grab her hand.
The wet nurse immediately chased after him, but before she could reach the Ninth Prince.
However, Consort Mei suddenly flung her hand away, and the poor Ninth Prince was instantly thrown to the ground.
"Ahhh..." The Ninth Prince cried even more heartbreakingly after falling down.
Upon seeing this, the palace maids and nannies nearby exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness!" In an instant, the entire Plum Blossom Palace descended into chaos.
"Blood... ah..." Everyone rushed to help the Ninth Prince.
All eyes were focused on the Ninth Prince, whose face was covered in blood and who was crying his heart out.
His small body trembled with extreme fear and pain, and his cries echoed throughout the palace, heartbreaking to witness.
The out-of-control Consort Mei finally snapped out of her daze.
When her gaze fell upon the shocking bloody gash on the Ninth Prince's face, she was struck dumb, instantly gripped by immense panic.
"Imperial Physician! Summon the Imperial Physician at once!" A sharp cry rang out, and the entire Plum Blossom Palace was thrown into chaos.
The Ninth Prince's once delicate and lovely face was now covered by a long, bloody gash, with blood gushing out continuously, resembling a ferocious red centipede coiled on it.
Consort Mei was frantic with worry. She cursed, "Are you all dead? Hurry up and stop the Ninth Prince's bleeding!"
However, faced with this sudden situation, everyone was terrified and didn't know how to deal with it.
Consort Mei suppressed her inner fear and personally examined the Ninth Prince's wounds.
Just one glance was enough to make her almost faint.
Such a huge and deep gash that exposes the bone will inevitably leave an indelible scar.
The thought that a scar on a prince's face would mean he would never have the chance to ascend to the throne was terrifying.
Consort Mei flew into a rage, yelling, "Drag this wretched maid out and beat her to death!"
Consort Mei, enraged, pointed at the wet nurse who was already terrified and roared.
Upon hearing this, the wet nurse's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
She knew she had committed a terrible mistake, but at that moment she had completely lost the ability to think or beg for mercy.
The Ninth Prince continued to cry and fuss, begging his mother to hold him.
He had just struggled with all his might to break free from the wet nurse's grasp.
In her panic, the wet nurse was only a step too slow, and the Ninth Prince took the opportunity to break free of his restraints.
Unfortunately, Consort Mei was in a state of madness. The Ninth Prince was slashed hard by Consort Mei and fell to the ground. His tender little face landed on a sharp shard of broken porcelain.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was horrific.
The wet nurse watched this scene unfold, her heart filled with despair, and she collapsed completely.
Because she knew perfectly well that if the prince were disfigured, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would her own life be in danger, but it would also likely implicate many innocent people.
As expected, Consort Mei was the first to beat her to death.
"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
