Yu Youyaoâs heart sank. âThank you, Imperial Physician Hu.â
The remaining hope in the old princess consortâs heart disappeared.
Old Madam Yu had a sudden illness. In the past, she didnât have this illness. Not only that, but although she wasnât paralyzed and didnât die, her body was also damaged. In the future, if anything happened to Old Madam, the Duke
Rongâs Residence would still be implicated.
The Yu Residence had only come to the Duke Rongâs Residence to participate in a flower festival.
However, a young girl almost lost her reputation after she was schemed against and an old woman almost lost her life. How could they let her off so easily?
The old princess consort couldnât help but glance at Eldest Master Yu and Second Master Yu.
Eldest Master Yu was furious and clenched his fists tightly.
She could not tell if second Master Yu was happy or angry. The walnut in his hand made a soft sound, making him even more flustered.
One of them had been in the Imperial Court for ten years and had a lot of connections.
One was a second-in-charge!
None of them were easy to fool.
She wondered if her eldest daughter-in-law was stupid. How dare she scheme against Eldest Miss Yu?
She did not even think about it. The words âloyal and fierceâ had to be carved into the bones of the Yu Residenceâs ancestors. Otherwise, it would be betraying their ancestors.
If Eldest Miss Yu really ruined her reputation today, perhaps what awaited her would be Old Madam Yuâs death and the Yu Residenceâs life-and-death struggle.
Consort Xu and the Third Prince would not really reap any benefits.
When the deities fight, the imps will suffer.
If his eldest daughter-in-law got involved in this matter, the one who would really suffer in the end would only be the Duke Rongâs Residence. For the title of heir, they had sacrificed their entire family. The old princess consort suddenly became disheartened.
Now that Old Madam Yu was fine and her condition was stable, Yu Zongzheng asked) âYao Yao, why did your grandmother suddenly faint?â
He was going to denounce her. The old princess consort closed her eyes and leaned against the couch. Now that the Third Prince had fallen into the water, she did not know how he was doingâ¦
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence rushed to the crepe myrtle garden in a hurry, but halfway there, she bumped into Yin Huaizhang, who was covered in dust.
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence quickly asked, âZhanger, I heard that Third Prince fell into the water? Howâs the Third Prince now? Iâve sent someone to invite an imperial physician over. Has he arrived?â
Yin Huaizhang was dejected. âThe Third Prince has just returned to the palace.â
âWhat?â The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence suddenly raised her voiceo Her face twitched, and the wound on her forehead made her dizzy and she almost fainted on the spot. âWhat exactly is going on?
Yin Huaizhangâs expression did not look too good either. âAfter the Third Prince entered the residence, I followed your instructions and did not alarm anyone. I secretly lured the Third Prince into the crepe myrtle garden. The Third Prince was not in a hurry and wanted to see Eldest Miss Yu as soon as possible. He asked me to go out and Chek the situation. I was also worried that the Third Prince would wait too long, so I agreed.â
When the Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence heard this, the veins on her forehead couldnât help but twitch wildly. âSo, you left Third Prince alone in the crepe myrtle garden?!â
The Third Prince was here to meet a beauty, so he definitely wouldnât bring his guards and companions along.
Yin Huaizhang nodded guiltily and said, âI-I didnât know that someone wanted to harm the Third Prince. They actually pushed him into the lake while he was admiring the scenery. The Third Prince originally knew how to swim, but he was caught off guard. He was shocked for a moment and flailed around in the lake, causing his legs to go numb. It was only when the guards heard the commotion and rushed over in time that they saved him.â
The Princess Consortâs eyes widened. âThird Prince didnât fall into the lake himself, but was pushed into it?â
Her vision suddenly darkened. She suddenly grabbed the wooden railing beside her and barely stabilized herself.
Oh no, oh no
The emperorâs health was getting worse and worse, and he had yet to be named a heir. Ever since the Marquis of Ningyuan was imprisoned) the struggle for the position of heir was intense. At this juncture, anyone would have come up with a conspiracy theory.
âConspiracy to murder a princeâ was a serious crime. At best, one would be beheaded, and at worst, oneâs entire family would be exterminated. The Third Prince was almost harmed in the Duke Rongâs Residence, so the Princess Consort of Duke Rongs Residence could not escape responsibility.
Yin Huaizhang did not think of this for a moment and nodded. âThatâs what Third Prince said.â
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence grabbed Yin Huaizhangâs arm. âHowâs Third Prince? Is he injured?â It was better if it was a close call.
Ifâ¦
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence felt dizzy and her face turned pale. She did not dare to continue thinking.
Yin Huaizhang said, âAfter he was saved, he was already on the verge of death. Fortunately, he was fine after vomiting. Itâs just that the Third Prince was quite shocked and his clothes were still wet. I asked the guards to escort him back to the palace.â
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence trembled and almost cried. If the Third Prince suspected that someone from Duke Rongâs Residence had harmed him, no one would dare to stay any longer.
Then, she thought of Old Madam Yu, who was still unconscious in the reception pavilion.
She had failed to hit the fox and had instead caused trouble.
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence really did not know what to do. Her eyes darkened and she fainted.
Yin Huaizhang was shocked. He quickly called someone over and helped the Princess Consort of Duke Rongs Residence into the crepe myrtle garden. He also called a doctor over to treat the wound on her forehead.
The wound on the Princess Consortâs forehead looked scary. The wound was not deep, but after being injured, it was not treated in time and she bled a lot.
The Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence had lost her vitality. Just now, she had been so anxious that she had fainted.
After her wound was treated, the Princess Consort of Duke Rongâs Residence was worried about the reception pavilion. She woke up after a while and quickly dressed up before returning to the reception pavilion.
The tea in the reception pavilion was already cold.
The old princess consort leaned against the couch with a defeated expression. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Madam Luo, who was kneeling on the ground. âIâve found Fifth Miss!â
Madam Luoâs voice trembled. âI-I found her!â
The old princess consort looked exhausted. âWhere was she found?â
Madam Luo did not dare to hide anything. âFifth Miss and her maidservant were knocked unconscious and thrown into a pavilion on the way to the crepe myrtle garden. No one has noticed since the crepe myrtle garden was cleared.â
The old Princess Consortâs eyes suddenly widened, and she sat up straight. After a while, her body collapsed again and she slowly lowered her eyes. âI see!â
Madam Luo did not understand. Thinking that Yin Jinwei was a little dizzy, she asked timidly, âMa-Matriarch, do you want to call her over for questioning?
âThereâs no need.â At this point, there was nothing else to ask. The old princess consort looked up at the old nanny serving her. âGo and get the snow satin shawl from my house.â
The old nannyâs eyelids twitched violently as she replied respectfully, âYes!â
Madam Luo was kneeling on the ground, her forehead pressed against the velvet carpet, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The maidservant handed her a cup of tea. The old princess consort reached out to take it and lowered her eyes. âNow you know how to be afraid? When you were messing around with Eldest Daughter-in-law, why didnât you think about the consequences?
âPlease spare meâ¦â Madam Luo suddenly raised her head and smashed it on the ground again. The weather was hot, and the carpet in the room had also been changed to thin ones. Her head was dizzy from the impact..
