“Thank you for your hospitality, but I have things to attend to at home and must leave early. I hope the Princess Consort forgives me.”
“It’s alright. After all, you have three children to take care of at home, and you are also in an inconvenient state. How could I not understand?” Ms. Ma sighed, “Lately, I’ve been feeling uneasy, unable to eat or sleep well. It’s because of my negligence that I couldn’t take good care of the emperor’s eldest grandson.”
Jiang Ning looked at her coldly.
A cat crying for a mouse, feigning sympathy.
Jiang Ning indifferently said, “Anyway, Xiaoqian will stay in the Prince of Yu’s residence from now on, so there’s no need to mention the past.”
“Princess Consort of Yu, I have a few words to say to you.” Ms. Ma said softly, “It’s about Prince of Yu.”
Jiang Ning sat still.
Ms. Ma smiled and said, “When Yu Wang was sent to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, do you really think it was just to guard the tomb?”
“And if not so?”
“As far as I know, a while ago, Prince of Yu fell severely ill due to a cold infection and has been bedridden for quite some days.” Ms. Ma frowned, “I’m telling you this because it makes me uneasy. After all, he is our flesh and blood, and it’s hard to bear the news.”
Jiang Ning leaned back in her chair, smiling at her own pace: “The Princess Consort, who could even treat a five-year-old child cruelly, could care about Prince of Yu, who is far away and sick? Or are you implying that the Princess Consort has designs on our Prince of Yu?”
Ms. Ma’s face changed slightly.
This damn cripple remained completely unmoved.
Jiang Ning lazily smiled and said, “So, the Princess Consort has been talking all this time just to make me go inside the room with you? Ah, let me guess: what did you prepare for me in there? A gold hairpin to stab my head?”
Ms. Ma’s smile could no longer hold steady, “Princess Consort of Yu, you’re joking. I just have a few heartfelt words to share with you.”
“You and I have not reached the point where we can share heartfelt words. Make way, I’m going home.”
“You really don’t appreciate kindness.” Ms. Ma’s expression turned cold, “Right now, it’s not about whether you want to or not. Servants, tie her up!”
The maid Pei’er from the Zhang Family turned pale, and cried out: “What are you guys doing?”
Before she could finish a sentence, someone hit her on the back of the head with a stick, knocking her out.
Four or five Eunuchs swarmed in, first stuffing Jiang Ning’s mouth with cloth, then placing a sack over her and lifting it.
Ms. Ma kicked her and sneered, “You wretched woman, let’s see how arrogant you can be. Take her to the front courtyard.”
Jiang Ning:”…”
This East Palace is going crazy.
Kidnapping her in broad daylight.
With her mouth blocked, Jiang Ning couldn’t speak. After a brief jolt, she heard the door open and felt herself being thrown out, landing on the ground.
Her bones almost shattered.
Then, there was silence.
There were no more sounds around.
Jiang Ning struggled to remove the cloth in her mouth but to no avail; the rope was too tight for her to move.
Damn it!
As she was seething with anger, she heard footsteps approaching, followed by the sound of a door closing, then the footsteps stopping in front of her.
Then the sack was opened.
Jiang Ning’s vision brightened slightly, her eyes slightly blurred. As her vision focused, she finally saw the face of the person in front of her.
A round, grinning face.
It’s Crown Prince Li Jixian!
“Princess Consort of Yu, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Please, get up.” He helped Jiang Ning sit down on a chair and took the cloth out of her mouth.
Jiang Ning took a few breaths and angrily said, “How dare you tie me up? Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand now that you’re the Crown Prince?”
