The Empress was originally a suspicious person, so she immediately sent someone to Prince Yuâs mansion with an imperial decree, ordering Jiang Ning to personally bring the emperorâs eldest grandson back to the palace.
Jiang Ning was furious upon receiving the imperial decree, wanting Xiaoman to beat the eunuch who delivered the decree out.
In the cold snowy night, moving a sick child back and forth like that was simply tormenting people, wasnât it?
âThe Empress doesnât trust us here in Prince Yuâs residence.â Huang Ying whispered, âAlthough I didnât serve the Empress when I was in the palace, I always knew that she was suspicious. Besides, the emperorâs eldest grandson is her only legitimate grandson. Itâs inevitable for her to be anxious.â
âIs this womanâs brain unclear?â Jiang Ning was annoyed, âWhat mess does she want to add to at this time? If I had any ill intentions towards Xiaoqian, would I need to wait till now?â
âThe Empress used to be fine, but as sheâs getting older, she canât help but have soft ears, listening to othersâ instigations and getting confused.â Huang Ying advised, âYouâve just defied the decree once. If the Empress sends someone again for the second time, you must not do that again. Wrap the emperorâs eldest grandson in a blanket, and it wonât have too much impact if heâs in the carriage.â
Three imperial eunuchs were waiting outside, looking like they wouldnât leave until Jiang Ning sent the emperorâs eldest grandson back to the palace.
The head eunuch said, âPrincess Consort of Yu, itâs better to send the emperorâs eldest grandson back to the palace now. Itâs getting late, letâs not make a big fuss. If it gets to the Emperor, itâs not good for either of us.â
Xiaoman said, âPrincess Consort, let me go and beat them.â
âThereâs no need.â
As the saying goes, itâs easier to see the devil than to deal with his minions.
Especially those who work by the Emperor and the Empressâs side, their actions can easily influence them.
Itâs not wise to offend them lightly.
âBring me my sable fur coat.â
Jiang Ning ordered the preparations to be made.
Xiaoqian had just taken his medicine and lay down to sleep.
Jiang Ning really didnât want to disturb him.
Xiaoqian woke up by himself, rubbed his eyes, and said groggily, âAunt, itâs noisy outside. What happened?â
Jiang Ning touched his forehead and said softly, âXiaoqian, be good. Your Imperial Grandmother heard that you were sick and sent someone to take you back to the palace because sheâs worried about you.â
âI donât want to go back, Aunt, donât send me away, I donât want to leave you.â Xiaoqian immediately got up and hugged Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning held him and patted his back, âXiaoqian, donât be afraid. Thatâs your Imperial Grandmother. She loves you the most.â
âBut I want to stay with Aunt.â
âListen to your aunt, okay? You go back to your Imperial Grandmother first, and when you recover, Iâll come take you back.â
âReally?â
âOf course, when has Aunt ever lied to you? In a few days, your little royal uncle will be back. Itâs better for me to pick you up together with him, right?â
After coaxing him for half the day and promising to go pick him up, Xiaoqian finally agreed to return. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Ning dressed him warmly and wrapped him in the coat, then personally sat in the carriage and sent him back to the palace.
On this occasion, they definitely couldnât leave Xiaoman behind, as getting in and out of the carriage was inconvenient for her.
The two younger ones were making a fuss, so Huang Ying and the others stayed behind to watch over them.
The carriage traveled through the thick snow on the street, and they didnât dare to go too fast for fear of slipping. Fortunately, Jiang Fuâs driving skills were top-notch, and they soon arrived steadily outside the Immortal-view Gate.
Jiang Ning sat in a wheelchair, holding Xiaoqian.
Xiaoman pushed her, following the eunuchs towards the Empressâs residence at the Flourish Blessing Palace.
The Empress couldnât wait any longer and kept sending people out to look for them.
As soon as she saw Jiang Ning and Xiaoqian, she immediately supported the palace maid and hurried out.
After all, he was her own grandson, and she truly loved him dearly..
