Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1169 - 1166: Accident

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1166: Accident

“Yes!”

“Your Highness, something terrible has happened with the Young Prince…” At that moment, a maidservant ran over, gasping for breath, which indicated that the situation was somewhat dire.

The Elder Princess’s expression darkened instantly, and she turned and strode out, barking, “Lead the way.”

Fifteen minutes later.

The Elder Princess had arrived at the Pear Blossom Court where the Young Prince was located. In the courtyard, a group of maidservants shielded the Young Prince. In front of him, Aunt Qiao was explaining something with Huoling Cheng.

“Your Highness.” With a thud, all the maidservants in the courtyard knelt down. Aunt Qiao, who had been wanting to talk to the Young Prince, turned pale when she heard this and quickly knelt, not daring to look up at the Elder Princess’s expression.

...

“What is happening here?” The Elder Princess looked sternly at Aunt Qiao and the others kneeling on the ground, then gestured to the Young Prince to come over, “Yan Yi, come here to your grandmother.”

The Young Prince wiped his tears and hurried over, calling out pitifully, “Grandmother, it hurts…”

“Where does it hurt? Tell your grandmother.” The Elder Princess picked him up and walked directly into the palace, then turned a cold gaze to Aunt Qiao and her son, “Since you cannot take care of others well, all of you kneel here for me.”

“Someone, go call for the imperial physicians and summon the Commandery Prince back.”

Kneeling on the ground, Aunt Qiao felt sharp pains in her knees but dared not get up.

The Elder Princess laid the Young Prince on the bed and had the residence’s imperial physicians examine him first. Taking advantage of this moment, she called over the Young Prince’s wet nurse to question her, “What happened?”

“Replying to Your Highness, the servant girl took the Young Prince to play in the courtyard today. The Young Prince thought that the flowers Your Highness had planted were pretty and asked the servant girl to pick some.”

“It just so happened that Aunt Qiao was playing ball with the eldest young master in the courtyard. The ball accidentally got kicked over, and the Young Prince wanted to play with it too, so he went over to grab the ball. Aunt Qiao stopped the Young Prince and asked the servant girl to take him to look at flowers instead, saying that the Young Prince was too delicate to play with the ball.”

“Angered, the servant girl argued with them and had servants fetch the ball for the Young Prince.”

“Aunt Qiao had her servants block us, saying that the Young Prince liked observing the flowers and didn’t care for the ball, and that the servant girl was deliberately instigating the Young Prince.”

“Your Highness, as someone who has taken care of the Young Prince since he was young, where would I dare to coax him? When Aunt Qiao said that, the Young Prince got scared. As he turned to run, he fell into the flower bed, scraping his hand and bleeding. Hai Mei, who serves the Young Prince, said that it was someone from Aunt Qiao’s side who deliberately tripped the Young Prince, causing him to fall.”

“While arguing with Aunt Qiao, she questioned the Young Prince, asking him to say what happened. She even said the Little Prince doesn’t like children who lie.”

“Deep down, the Young Prince has always sought approval from the Little Prince and was even more afraid to say anything.”

The wet nurse finished speaking and wiped her tears, kneeling prostrate on the ground, “Your Highness, it was the servant girl’s fault for quarreling with Aunt Qiao over pride, causing the Young Prince to get hurt. The servant girl is willing to accept punishment.”

“Take her away and give her twenty heavy beatings.” The Elder Princess held extremely high standards for servants around the Young Prince, something everyone in the Princess’ Mansion knew. The wet nurse was dragged away to be punished.

She was later carried back to her room to recover.

“Nanny, from now on the safety of the Young Prince should come first. Your Highness has already warned us to properly ensure the Young Prince’s safety. Nanny Song has also sent some ointment over. Please don’t quarrel with Aunt Qiao anymore. Even without the Little Prince’s affection, the Young Prince has Her Highness the Elder Princess and the Emperor.”
