Your Majesty, you know that I have taken great care of the princess over the past year. If I didn't truly love the child, how could I be so devoted and devoted to her? I am more attentive than the Empress and Concubine Ruan to raise your princess so well!"
After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. When the eldest princess heard her mother crying, she pouted and started crying heart-wrenchingly. She struggled out of the palace maid's arms and stumbled towards Concubine Zhao.
The eldest princess is three months older than little Yan Zhi. She is already one year old and can walk a little, but not steadily.
Seeing the child running so fast, Concubine Zhao's heart trembled. She was about to catch the child with tears in her eyes, but the emperor stood up first, picked up the child, and ordered Eunuch Huang in a cold voice: "Find two reliable old palace maids and take the princess away!"
He now felt disgusted just by looking at Zhao Zhilan.
Such a vicious woman is not worthy of being the princess's mother!
When Concubine Zhao saw the emperor's expression, what was there that she didn't understand?
It was clear that he not only believed she was the murderer, but he would also kill her and take her child.
She immediately stood up and ran forward, like a mad woman, snatching the child back from the emperor's hands, holding the child tightly, "No! Your Majesty, please don't take my child away, don't take it away!"
The people who tried to stop her felt something was wrong when they saw her state, and whispered, "Could it be that Concubine Zhao is too scared of her affair being exposed, so she's gone crazy?"
"It looks like it. Otherwise, how could she dare to go up and snatch it from the Emperor? Whether it hurts the eldest princess or the Emperor, it is something a sinner like her cannot bear!"
"That's why I say she's crazy. How can a crazy person care about so many things?"
"Alas, she is pitiful. Although she is scheming and has a vicious heart, isn't her ultimate motivation for the good of the princess?
Apart from anything else, the eldest princess was indeed well-fed. Even though she was born with six fingers on her left hand, Concubine Zhao didn't dislike it. She raised her to be plump and white like an eyeball. Now, as long as the gauze covering her wrist is not removed, no one can tell that the eldest princess has six fingers.
"How dare you! You have nothing better to do? You dare to gossip in front of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and me. You are even more arrogant than usual. Come on, take those who just spoke down and give them ten heavy beatings to serve as a warning to others!"
At the queen's command, the bold palace maid who was talking in a low voice was taken away.
But in fact, this was all arranged by her on purpose, with the purpose of bringing up the matter of the eldest princess's six fingers.
The emperor and the empress dowager were very upset. They didn't know whether Concubine Zhao was really frightened and stupid, or was pretending to be crazy to avoid responsibility.
In short, things have become less easy to handle at this moment. Even if Concubine Zhao really goes crazy, out of humanitarianism, she may not die, but will be thrown into the cold palace to fend for herself.
"Be good, Princess, don't cry. Mother will feed you some candy. Our Princess loves candy the most. Here, this candy is round and white, so it must be very sweet."
Concubine Zhao was half crazy and half stupid. She picked up a pearl button that fell from the ground when the palace maid was captured and was about to put it into the eldest princess's mouth.
Xiao Xuanzi was quick-witted and rushed forward to snatch it away by force, but this undoubtedly showed one thing: Concubine Zhao might be really crazy!
Otherwise, why would she feed such a deadly thing into the eldest princess's mouth if she loved her so much?
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the trembling mother and daughter hugging each other, and sighed, "Your Majesty, look, look, it's not that I don't trust the results of your and the Queen's investigation, nor is it that I am reluctant to punish Concubine Zhao, but she is like this now, what else can I do?"
