Yi Hua escorted the eldest princess back to her residence, instructed the nanny serving her to apply the medicine on time and pay attention to her diet, and then took Liu Liu back to the main courtyard.
She took out a corner of the porcelain shard from her bosom, about the size of a thumb. She had broken it off hastily in the palace, leaving the larger piece for Consort De.
Yi Hua had no doubt about Consort De's methods. Whether it was a genuine accident or there was some hidden reason, she would definitely be able to find out.
However, Yihua was certain that Consort De was hiding something from her and even Yinzhen, after all, it involved the Fourteenth Prince. What role did Wanyan play in it? Why was she helping the eldest princess out, and why did she fall down so coincidentally?
But would someone really use their own stomach to frame someone else?
Here, even a normal delivery is like walking through the gates of hell. Yi Hua gave birth to two children, and neither of them went smoothly. Wanyan Shi looks a bit naive and spoiled, but who knows if she might be misled by someone and do something stupid.
Between the two brothers, Yinzhen and Yinzhen, Consort De's heart has always been biased, and Yihua also needs to be wary of this.
Yi Hua slammed her fist on the table, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
Phew, I forgot I was still wearing a sling.
Yu Xue invited the palace physician, whose medical skills were quite good. With a light twist, Yi Hua felt a tingling numbness in her arm and the pain was gone.
After giving her the reward, Yi Hua stared at the porcelain shards for a while. This was the most basic style of the palace banquet, which could be seen everywhere. There were some scratches on it, which must have been left when it got stuck in the cracks of the stone.
If you take a closer sniff, you can only smell the dirt. It was wiped quite clean, and there were no stains. It looked like an ordinary piece of broken porcelain.
Yi Hua recalled her conversation with the eldest princess on the way back to the mansion.
"Big Princess, weren't you playing with the Second Princess and the others from the Prince Zhi's mansion? How did you run into your Fourteenth Aunt?"
The eldest princess opened her mouth slightly, speaking softly so as not to twitch her lower lip: "It was Fourteenth Aunt who came looking for me. She said she was a little tired and wanted to talk to you. She asked if I wanted to bring Liu Liu over to play."
“I thought that Liu Liu hadn’t met the sisters in Uncle Zhi Wang’s family yet, so it would be good for her to get to know them. Also, Aunt Ba, who was helping Aunt Shisi, seemed to have something urgent to do, so I went to take over for Aunt Ba’s help.”
"Eighth Aunt?" Yi Hua was surprised to hear such a name, as her relationship with the Eighth Prince's wife was lukewarm.
Firstly, because Yinzhen never had any contact with the Eighth Prince, let alone stealing his two younger brothers away. Secondly, because the Eighth Prince's wife had a strange arrogance. Although they were both princes' wives, and Yihua was the eldest, she always felt inferior to the Eighth Prince's wife, and that feeling of being looked down upon was so strong that it couldn't be ignored.
Therefore, not only Yihua, but almost none of the princes' wives were on good terms with the Eighth Prince's wife, except for Wanyan, who was actually quite close to her.
"Did you see where Aunt Ba went?"
"It looks like he went to relieve himself." The eldest princess wasn't sure; she had only glanced at his back and hadn't paid any attention at the time.
"When your fourteenth aunt fell, did you notice anything?" Yi Hua continued to ask. Wanyan initially fell towards the lake, but later fell backward. Who pulled her up? This person is crucial.
The person who can judge the angle so precisely must possess martial arts skills.
The kung fu mentioned here is not the kind of flying and manipulating the elements depicted in modern TV dramas, but rather the kind of kung fu that involves training from a young age to wield swords and spears.
Honghui loves spears; he's loved them since elementary school. Yihua doesn't know how effective they are, but his movements are exceptionally beautiful. Also, he's rarely been sick since childhood, which is partly due to this.
The eldest princess thought for a moment, then shook her head. She was so panicked at the time that standing under Yi Hua was an instinctive action, and she couldn't remember anything. Now, when she recalled the scene, she felt like there were shadowy figures everywhere, and she felt a little nauseous.
Seeing that the eldest princess's complexion had worsened, Yi Hua stopped asking and comforted her, "You're already very capable to remember all of this. Maintaining a good mood is also a very important part of healing external injuries. Don't worry, your father is here for you."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Mother." The eldest princess said quietly.
Yi Hua's thoughts were interrupted by a commotion. It seemed that someone was shouting loudly at the door, which was quite strange.
Who's outside?
Granny Chen entered the room angrily and reported: "It was Consort Li, who was spewing filth. She said that it was all because of you that the eldest princess was injured, and she was also talking about the eldest princess's marriage. In short, she was a complete scoundrel."
"Let her in." Yi Hua rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
After entering, Madam Li gave Yihua a perfunctory bow: "Madam, is the eldest princess's face going to never recover? She's still so young, how could you use a child as a scapegoat?"
"Considering you still have a kind heart, I will let today's overstepping go. But if it happens again, don't blame me for not giving you face as a concubine." Yi Hua raised her voice. "Please sit down. I will report the matter of the eldest princess to the prince. We must find the best imperial physician and use the best medicine."
“Madam, I just went to see the eldest princess. It’s such a long scar; it will be very noticeable once it becomes a freckle.” Madam Li sat down, looking worried. “How will she find a husband in the future?”
"The Prince will make his own decision on this matter." Yi Hua thought that even she couldn't control her children's marriages. Although Li Shi shouldn't have thought about it, she was genuinely good to the eldest princess.
Just as she was thinking this, Yi Hua was proven wrong.
Li continued, "I had some idea of what the Prince had planned. In the past year or two, when the Princess Consort went back to her parents' home, she would bring the eldest princess with her. I suppose she is the young master of the Ulanara family."
