Chapter 421 The Ninth Princess Does Not Know What Is Good For Her
Xianpin's face immediately turned cold.
After Chu Pan'er entered the Qiao family, she no longer had any say in how her life would be.
"It was mother's fault that she was careless." Concubine Xian sighed and said.
Chu Shian: "Mother, there are many outstanding young men from noble families in the capital. As her elder brother, I will definitely find a suitable husband for my sister."
Xianpin looked at Chu Shian without blinking. She knew what her son meant and said solemnly, "You want to use Pan'er to marry into a noble family to get their help. I have no objection, but you must promise me that you will not trade your sister's happiness for it."
"Don't worry, mother. I would never cheat my own sister." Chu Shian said with a gentle smile.
Xianpin nodded.
Chu Shian didn't stay long and left Tongxin Hall.
Only after he left did Jinghua enter the hall to serve.
Xianpin stared blankly outside the palace for a long time, and suddenly asked Jinghua: "Do you think he is really planning for us mother and daughter?"
Jing Hua was shocked when she heard this: "Your Majesty, please don't let your imagination run wild. You are the mother of the Fifth Prince. How could he not sincerely care about your Majesty?"
"I am his mother, but I am not his biological mother after all." Concubine Xian said lightly.
Jinghua: "The Fifth Prince has been raised by the Empress since he was a child. The Empress took great care of him until he grew up. This kindness is greater than the kindness of giving birth to him. The Fifth Prince also respects the Empress very much. The Empress must not think about these things, lest it hurt the relationship between mother and son."
"I only have Pan'er as my daughter, and I'm afraid he will use Pan'er for his own power."
Chu Shian is ambitious and good at trapping people, so she naturally hopes that he can sit on the throne.
The Pingliang Marquisate can fully support him in his quest for that position. No matter how he schemes or what means he uses, he cannot sacrifice her daughter's happiness.
This is something that Concubine Xian would never allow.
Jinghua comforted him, "I also heard it outside the palace. His Highness said that he would find a suitable husband for the Ninth Princess. Your Majesty, you must believe His Highness. He cannot do without the support of your Majesty and the Pingliang Marquisate, so he will not destroy his foundation for the sake of power."
The Fifth Prince must be aware of how important the Ninth Princess is to the Empress, and he would never make the Empress unhappy and cut off his own retreat.
"You're right, I'm overly sensitive."
"Girls are delicate and precious. Your Majesty loves her daughter dearly, so you can't help but worry more about her." Jinghua said.
Xianpin smiled and then asked, "What did the imperial physician say today?"
Jinghua said: "Don't worry, your majesty, the princess's injuries are recovering well, and she will be able to get out of bed and walk soon."
Xianpin nodded in relief: "Pan'er's injury has healed, and I feel relieved."
"It's a pity that Concubine Yi and Concubine Shu hid themselves too well. The people we planted in the two palaces didn't notice anything unusual." Jinghua said angrily.
Although Concubine Xian was indignant, she was not surprised by the result. "After so many years of struggling in the harem, no one can stand firm. Concubine Yi surrendered to the Queen. Whether it was her or not, we were both in opposition. As for Concubine Shu, her son wanted to fight for the position of Crown Prince, and Shi An was also determined to win the position. Originally, I wanted to paralyze them first so that I could reap the benefits, but the second son and Shi An would confront each other sooner or later. Concubine Shu did not lend me a helping hand when I was in trouble, so there was no need for me to continue pretending."
So no matter whether Pan'er was injured by one of them or not, I will not let them go.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Chu Pan'er was killed by Ah Man. If Chu Pan'er didn't want to get into trouble, he would have become a disabled person. So the injury healed slowly.
After hesitating for a long time, Chu Ying'er still came to Changchun Palace secretly without telling Concubine Rong.
No matter how her maids Shi Liu and Yang Mei tried to persuade her, it was in vain. They could only follow Chu Ying'er with sad faces.
"Ninth Sister..."
Chu Ying'er stood outside Chu Pan'er's bedroom door, peeking out and calling softly.
Linglong, who had just been promoted to the chief palace maid, came over with medicine in her hand. Seeing Chu Ying'er, she bowed and saluted: "This servant greets the Thirteenth Princess. May the princess be blessed."
Chu Ying'er waved at her: "I'm here to see the Ninth Sister."
"Princess, please wait a moment. Let me go in and report." Linglong said respectfully.
Chu Ying'er pursed her lips and nodded.
Linglong entered the hall carrying a tray.
Inside the exquisite bedroom, moon-accompanying incense is burning in a blue and white incense burner with sea water patterns.
"Princess, the Thirteenth Princess is outside asking to see you."
Chu Pan'er was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed. When she heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes. A sharp light flashed in her beautiful pupils. She said angrily with her eyes spitting fire: "Tell her to get out. She is a traitor. I treated her so well, but she stepped on me to get to the top."
Her voice was so loud that Chu Ying'er, who was standing outside the hall, could hear it clearly.
Chu Ying'er's expression suddenly froze, her face turned ugly with a mixture of blue and red, she felt shocked and aggrieved.
Shi Liu and Yang Mei looked at each other and saw the expression of "as expected" in each other's eyes. They were about to step forward and take their master away, but they saw Chu Ying'er raising her leg and walking into the hall.
"Ninth sister, I have never thought of stepping on you to get to the top, and I have never thought of causing you to be punished." Chu Ying'er stood in front of Chu Pan'er's bed and said through gritted teeth.
Chu Pan'er stared at Chu Ying'er coldly and sneered, "You didn't think about it, you just did it directly, and actually betrayed me for Lu Xiang. Now you have caught the Queen's eye, and Rong Guiren has been promoted to the position of concubine. You are very proud, right? I don't have a sister like you. I am like this now because of you. Don't show up in front of me in the future, I'm afraid I can't help but strangle you to death."
She said bitterly, looking at Chu Ying'er with eyes full of hatred and anger.
If Chu Ying'er hadn't been so nosy, Lu Xiang would have been punished by his father.
If the Queen tried to stop it, it would only anger her father, and her mother would not be forced to move out of Changchun Palace.
She hated Chu Ying'er to death.
Chu Ying'er felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw the hatred in Chu Pan'er's eyes. She had finally mustered up the courage to come to the Ninth Princess, hoping to explain the misunderstanding to her, but the Ninth Princess didn't even give her a chance to explain.
I was overthinking it. The Ninth Princess didn't care about her younger sister. She only cared about me.
"It's my fault, sister. Ninth sister, please take care of your injuries. Ying'er won't disturb you anymore." Chu Ying'er took a deep breath, her expression became indifferent, she bowed, turned around and left.
She will never come to Changchun Palace again.
On the way back, Chu Ying'er was in a bad mood and looked listless.
Shi Liu coaxed, "Master, don't be sad. It's the Ninth Princess who doesn't know what's good for her. We won't argue with her."
"That's right. She made a mistake and took her anger out on the master. The master was just telling the truth. Does lying with her make her a good sister? Besides, the ninth princess was injured because she slipped and fell. How can you blame the master for this? It's so unreasonable."
