Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: The Despicable Servant Who Blocks the Way

Wenzan, who was being held, looked up at Li Yuanyuan’s expression and curiously asked, “Did Madam Li cry?”

“No.” Li Yuanyuan frowned.

But the intense pain in her back still caused her eyes to redden uncontrollably.

An alert palace maid had already run back to report to the Princess Consort.

Jiang Ning came out just in time to see this scene.

“Xiaoman.”

“Your servant is here!”

Xiaoman immediately dropped what she was holding, rushed over to stand in front of Concubine Xian, and guarded Li Yuanyuan and Wenzan behind her. The other palace maids went over to help them up.

Facing the strong and robust Xiaoman, Concubine Xian unconsciously took a step back.

Fu Liu scolded, “You, this servant, what are you trying to do?”

“This question should be asked to Concubine Xian.” Jiang Ning walked over, stretched out her hand, and held Lingzi in her arms.

Lingzi lay on her shoulder, her little hands wrapping around her neck, and her big eyes filled with tears.

Jiang Ning gently patted her back, “Don’t cry, my dear. Your mother is here.”

Huang Ying also hurried over to hold Wenzan and asked, “Is the young master alright? Is there any pain anywhere?”

Wenzan shook his head, stretching out his little hand to point at Li Yuanyuan: “Madam Li is in pain.”

Jiang Ning glanced at Li Yuanyuan and ordered Chunlai and Dongxie, “Help Concubine Li back to her room, and then go invite the Imperial Physician.”

Dongxie angrily glanced at Concubine Xian and her entourage, then dashed out.

Although Concubine Xian had come with a great deal of anger, after scolding Lingzi and kicking Li Yuanyuan, half of her anger had dissipated. Seeing Jiang Ning come out, the other half also vanished.

Looking at Li Yuanyuan’s appearance and listening to Lingzi’s crying, she couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.

Jiang Ning asked the wet nurse to take Lingzi and Wenzan back, then walked to Concubine Xian, smiling, “Concubine Xian, you haven’t answered my question yet. I don’t know what it means for you to rush to the East Palace so aggressively, beating and scolding my people?”

Concubine Xian took a deep breath, recalling her purpose for coming here, and her anger surged again, “These lowly servants blocked my way. I only gave them a slight punishment. The Princess Consort doesn’t need to be so aggressive!”

“Oh, are you saying that my son, daughter, and the Crown Prince’s Concubine Li are all lowly servants blocking your way?” Jiang Ning stood in front of her, looking into her eyes, “Now I am standing right in front of you, are you going to say that I am a lowly servant, too?”

Concubine Xian defended herself, “Princess Consort, you are trying to frame me. I was talking about Concubine Li, it has nothing to do with the others!” “Why do you need to be so cowardly if you’ve come here so aggressively?” Jiang Ning spoke calmly, “Also, why didn’t you greet me when you saw me?”

Concubine Xian said, “I want to ask you if it’s because you’ve been plotting behind my back that His Majesty hasn’t come to the Prosperity Palace in a long time?”

Jiang Ning didn’t answer, but instead walked around her in a circle and finally stopped behind her.

Concubine Xian looked back at her in surprise, “You—”

Before she could finish, Jiang Ning suddenly lifted her leg and kicked hard at the back of her knee.

Caught off guard, Concubine Xian screamed and fell to the ground.

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were stunned.

They had been in the palace for so many years, but they had never seen such a scene.

Concubine Xian felt both pain and hatred, unable to speak for a long time after being thrown to the ground.

After a while, she regained her composure and shouted angrily, “Are you crazy?!”

Jiang Ning looked down at her with cold eyes, “You don’t even know your place, and you dare to come to the East Palace and show off? In the past, I considered you an elder and didn’t bother arguing with you. But you dare to take advantage of your seniority with me. I warn you, either withdraw your claws as soon as possible, or I won’t mind cutting them off!”
