Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1127 - 1125: Taking the Fall for Another

Finally managing to calm down this little ancestor Changping, the imperial physician diagnosed her as merely frightened and prescribed some calming decoctions, allowing the Princess Consort to completely ease her mind.

After sitting down to drink a bowl of strong longan and red date tea, the Princess Consort called her trusted nanny, and sent her along with the imperial physician and some medicinal supplements to that family on Cypress Lane called Changqing Residence. After all, since they saved her daughter’s life, gratitude in both emotion and reason must be shown.

On the other hand, she also sent people to investigate the background of this girl named Wufu. It wasn’t that the Princess Consort was overly suspicious; she knew her own daughter. Though willful, she was warm-hearted, yet not particularly sharp, which she already realized from that Miss Bai.

As for the Bai Family, despite their inadequacies, their background was at least known, and the tricks were merely those of a young girl aiming to leverage Changping’s name for advantageous prospects due to being a concubine-born daughter.

It was only because Changping had few close friends that Bai Sulian managed to coax her over, and Bai Sulian hadn’t done anything outrageous; otherwise, the Princess Consort would’ve dealt with her long ago.

Fortunately, Changping had now distanced herself from that Bai Sulian, but now a certain Wufu had appeared whom they knew nothing about. How could the Princess Consort be at ease? What if Changping was being used by someone, how could that be good?

Pity the hearts of parents in this world.

Wufu lost blood, and after Jadeite bandaged the wound and she drank the calming medicine, she fell into a deep sleep.

The Princess Consort’s trusted Nanny Gong followed Jadeite into Wufu’s room, tiptoed in, saw Wufu’s small, pale face lying on the bed. The room had a faint medicinal and blood smell, making her frown slightly before retreating.

"Amitabha, my Princess Consort was terribly anxious upon hearing about this matter, so she sent the imperial physician with me to examine the young lady, but we’ve come too late; your young lady is already asleep." Nanny Gong said, sitting on a small stool.

Jadeite knelt and said, "Nanny is considerate, and I thank the Princess Consort on behalf of my young lady for her kind intentions. The young lady’s wound is not life-threatening, but just from excessive blood loss that only needs recuperation, so please assure the Commandery Princess and the Princess Consort not to worry."

"Amitabha, truly the Bodhisattva’s blessing, that’s good, that’s good." Nanny Gong said, "Thanks to your young lady, otherwise our Commandery Princess would have suffered."

Jadeite slightly furrowed her brows, feeling a bit displeased in her heart, thinking that was quite an inappropriate choice of words. Your Commandery Princess didn’t suffer, it was my young lady who shielded her, and now it is my young lady who has to endure this misfortune, unjustly suffering for another. When had the young lady ever been wronged like this?

Nanny Gong, observing Jadeite’s expression, also felt a misstep in her words and didn’t know how to proceed for a moment.

Jadeite, pretending to be indignant, said, "This was indeed a disaster that came out of nowhere. The Commandery Princess kindly invited our young lady out, and just when they were about to leave after lunch, if it weren’t for that Tenth Prince..."

This was attributing the root of the trouble to Zhao Mingjun.

Jadeite wasn’t wronging him. If not for Zhao Mingjun’s treachery, how would Wufu have suffered such adversity?

Nanny Gong’s eyes flashed and she sighed, "Ultimately, it was our Commandery Princess who implicated the young lady." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Jadeite said, "Nanny, do not say that. The Commandery Princess can’t be blamed; she acted with good intentions, it’s just that Tenth... forget it, the young lady not being injured in a vital spot is already a relief."

"You are right to say so. By the way, why haven’t we seen your family’s elders?"

Jadeite replied, "Our Madam is still in Huayang and hasn’t come over yet. She’ll come to Changan to reunite with the young lady in some days, but unexpectedly encountered this calamity, alas."

Nanny Gong consoled a few words, probed some more, and then left behind a large pile of precious medicinal ingredients before leaving.
