Chapter 336 The situation is not good
Empress Su continued, "I will remember your life-saving grace to Changning."
Upon hearing this, Princess Changning blinked frantically at Yu Wan.
Say yes, say yes!
Yu Wan understood the unspoken meaning in Empress Su's words.
This is because I intend to owe her a favor.
The favors one receives from the mother of a nation are immeasurable.
Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, then curtsied and smiled in gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress."
At this moment, a palace maid hurried in and whispered in Empress Su's ear, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and Prince Yong have both gone to Dexin Palace."
It wasn't surprising that Prince Yong went to see Empress Su, but it was also the Emperor who went...
Empress Su raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is Consort De seriously injured?"
The palace maid respectfully whispered, "Your Majesty, news has come from the Imperial Hospital that Consort De's spleen has been damaged, and whether she can wake up depends on tonight."
Empress Su nodded slightly, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
Princess Changning heard this and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, this is what she got for reaping what she sowed. Who told her to be so vicious and always trying to scheme against others?"
Empress Su glanced at Princess Changning, signaling her not to say such things.
Princess Changning pursed her lips and obediently shut her mouth.
Yu Wan stood to the side, listening quietly.
Thinking to himself, "The Emperor has gone to Dexin Palace, so it seems that Consort De's life is in danger."
This really proves that if you don't court disaster, you won't get yourself killed.
Dexin Palace.
The imperial physician was still treating Consort De in the inner palace with the doors closed, while Prince Yong and Emperor Wenjing waited outside.
Emperor Wenjing sat on a soft couch, his face showing no sign of anxiety or sorrow.
Prince Yong's eyes were red-rimmed, and it was as if the words "He is very worried about his mother" were written all over his face.
Prince Yong, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Emperor Wenjing, then suddenly knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Father, this frightened horse was not an accident. I beg you, Father, to do justice for Mother. She cannot suffer such pain for no reason..."
Emperor Wenjing frowned slightly, his expression unreadable, his gaze fixed on Prince Yong, and his voice was low: "Stand up and speak."
"We'll discuss this after the imperial physician has given his diagnosis."
Prince Yong remained kneeling on the ground, refusing to rise, his eyes filled with sorrow: "Father, I am extremely anxious. My mother has always been kind to others; I don't know who she offended to suffer such a calamity. I heard that Princess Changning and that Lady Yu were also at the horse farm when this happened. I am worried..."
Emperor Wenjing's face darkened, and he interrupted him: "What are you worried about? Based on mere speculation, you suspect that Changning is involved in this matter?"
"That's not what I've heard."
"Those frightened horses were originally heading towards Changning. If it weren't for the Yu family, Changning might be the one lying here!"
Why don't you say that it was your mother who wanted to harm Changning?
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong trembled, a hint of panic flashing across his face.
He kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please understand, I had no such intention! I was just confused because I was worried. When I heard that the incident happened suddenly, I was at a loss and that's why I talked nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
He slammed his forehead against the ground with a dull thud, looking utterly terrified.
Emperor Wenjing looked at Prince Yong kneeling on the ground, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but his tone remained icy: "Concern is no excuse for your baseless accusations."
“I will thoroughly investigate the matter concerning your mother, but if I find that you have taken this opportunity to cause trouble and disrupt the court, I will not let you off lightly.”
"Prince Yong, I do not wish to see what happened last time again."
That last sentence left all of Prince Yong's thoughts stuck in his throat.
The Emperor did not entirely believe him about the matter at Huangjue Temple.
They protected him simply because he was a prince.
The emperor did not want to lose several princes in succession.
But if he causes any more trouble, his father will certainly not protect him as before.
Prince Yong's face turned pale, and he silently stepped aside, not daring to say another word.
Not long after, the door to the inner hall slowly opened.
Yu Yuanzheng emerged, drenched in sweat, his expression grave. He knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, Consort De's injuries are severe. She has three broken ribs and her abdominal organs are also seriously damaged..."
In just a short while, as soon as the door to the inner palace opened, Emperor Wenjing and Prince Yong both smelled the strong stench of blood emanating from the inner palace.
Emperor Wenjing frowned, and Prince Yong was so frightened that he wanted to rush into the inner palace.
He was stopped by Imperial Physician Yu. “Your Highness, the situation inside the palace… you should not go in. It will make you feel bad if you see it.”
Prince Yong's voice trembled, "What exactly happened to my mother?"
"Consort De's organs were severely damaged; she just vomited a lot of blood, which contained shattered organs..."
Yu Yuanzheng hesitated, as if he couldn't bear to say anything more.
Prince Yong was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
His eyes were filled with terror and disbelief. He hadn't expected to be so badly injured. It was just a horse's hoof trampling him.
Why were you so badly injured?
Judging from what Imperial Physician Yu said, his mother might not survive...
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenjing's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he said in a solemn voice, "You must do everything you can to save her. All the medicines in the palace are at your disposal. Do your best to save Consort De."
Yu Yuanzheng respectfully responded and turned to enter the inner hall.
Prince Yong stared blankly at the door that had been closed again.
How could this be?
When he entered the palace yesterday, his mother was perfectly fine, but today she is lying unconscious on her bed, and may even be...
At this moment, Prince Yong was truly heartbroken.
Consort De treated him very well, and he loved and cherished this mother consort, regarding her as a very important family member.
Emperor Wenjing glanced at the dejected Prince Yong and sighed softly, "Sit down."
Prince Yong slowly rose and took a step, his legs feeling as heavy as lead. His eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door, and his lips trembled slightly.
He looked at Emperor Wenjing, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words.
His father had already warned him not to make wild guesses.
If he continues to doubt Changning and Yuwan, his father will surely be furious.
Unexpectedly, a young eunuch hurriedly walked in.
He whispered a few words in Emperor Wenjing's ear, and Prince Yong watched as Emperor Wenjing's face instantly turned gloomy.
Upon seeing this, Prince Yong's heart tightened.
He waved his hand, and the little eunuch immediately withdrew.
Emperor Wenjing looked at Prince Yong, his gaze turning deep and dark. "I had the personal maid of Consort De interrogated. She confessed that she had been instructed to tamper with Princess Changning's sachet in an attempt to murder her."
Prince Yong's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously retorted, "Father, this is impossible! Mother has always doted on Princess Changning, how could she do such a thing? Someone must have deliberately framed her and tortured her into confessing!"
Emperor Wenjing looked at him coldly, "Whether it was a confession obtained under torture, I will send someone to verify it."
Prince Yong shook his head repeatedly, "Father, I... I don't believe Mother would do such a thing, it certainly wasn't Mother who did it!"
Emperor Wenjing looked at him expressionlessly.
Prince Yong wanted to say something more, but when he met Emperor Wenjing's cold gaze, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He secretly lamented that if his mother were truly convicted, his future would be ruined!
