Jiang Ning scanned the area, pretending not to see, and walked straight forward.
But she was stopped.
âAre you⦠the Princess Consort of Yu?â Concubine Xian looked at her somewhat incredulously.
âWhat can I do for you, Concubine Xian?â Jiang Ning asked coldly.
How could this Concubine Xian, who raised a son like Li Jixian, be any good?
Jiang Ning considered herself a petty person, and held a grudge against both mother and son, so she had no good face for Concubine Xian.
However, Concubine Xian stopped her from leaving: âPrincess Consort of Yu, did you come from the Ancestral Temple?â
âNo.â
âBut the only place in that direction is the Ancestral Temple.â
âIâm just passing by.â Jiang Ning frowned, âIf Concubine Xian has no other mattersâ¦â
âI have something.â Concubine Xian stopped her and looked her up and down, âPrincess Consort of Yu, your legâ¦â
âMy leg has healed.â
âHow is that possible?â
âYou could say itâs a blessing in disguise.â
âWasnât your leg broken by Ms. Ma? How could it heal? How exactly⦠did you do it?â Concubine Xianâs expression was somewhat excited, âPlease, tell me.â âWhy should I tell you?â Jiang Ning smiled, âThe Prince of Huai brought it upon himself.â
Concubine Xian grabbed her and was about to kneel: âPrincess Consort of Yu, please, be magnanimous and forgive the Prince of Huai once. He is still young and ignorant, and thatâs why he made such a mistakeâ¦â
âOh, is thirty still a child? At thirty, one can already be a grandfather, you know?â
âYour leg is healed, but the Prince of Huai is still lying in bed! Canât you just be kind?â
âWhen he captured me back then, why wasnât he kind?â
âIsnât your leg fine now? If it wasnât for the Prince of Huai doing this, how could your leg have healed?â
âConcubine Xian, if you keep messing with me, Iâll let you taste the suffering your son is experiencing now!â Jiang Ning was impatient and threatened her without hesitation.
Concubine Xian was stunned: âHow dare you threaten me?â
âDo you still think youâre the Crown Princeâs real mother, and that everyone should hold you up and worship you? Li Jixian has been deposed and will never be the Crown Prince again in this life. I advise you to restrain yourself as soon as possible, lest those who have offended you in the past come to take revenge.â
Concubine Xian clenched her teeth: âEven if my son canât become the Crown Prince, Prince Yu wonât either!â
âWell, letâs just wait and see. Lameâs mother.â
âYouâ¦â Concubine Xian was so angry that her vision went black, and she raised her hand to slap Jiang Ningâs face.
Gucheng held a willow branch in his hand and gently stroked it, shaking Concubine Xian back a few steps, almost tripping and falling.
âTimes have changed, and youâre still showing off your power? Respected Concubine Xian!â
Jiang Ning snorted and left without looking back.
Concubine Xian was shaking with anger.
The palace maid came forward to help her up and sobbed: âYour Highness, letâs go back. Why suffer humiliation here for nothing? She wonât be arrogant for long! One day, the Prince of Huaiâs leg will heal, and thenâ¦â
âShut up!â Concubine Xian ordered in a low voice, âDo you really think the Prince of Huaiâs leg is still useful? I only hate Ms. Ma for not being harsher on the Princess Consort of Yu, allowing her to stand once more! If my son fancies her, she should be a cripple too, kneeling at my sonâs feet and serving!â
âMs. Ma isnât doing well either, missing one ear, hiding in her room all day, and looking abnormal to others.â
âLet her live or die. Just take good care of the little prince!â
âThis servant will keep it in mind.â
âAs for that damned Prince Yu and Princess Consort of Yu pair, male, femaleâ¦.â
