Chapter 179 I have evidence
The square-faced nun rolled her eyes.
"Why are you panicking? Why should we be afraid of someone coming from the palace? I think it's someone sent by the noble concubine to question us."
The nun who reported the news shook her head hastily: "They are not the noble concubine's people, but the people sent by the new queen! They came specifically to see the princess."
The two nuns were startled and hurried out to stop them.
But as soon as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw a large group of people walking towards me.
The person in the lead, wearing the uniform of a palace lady and with a stern expression, pushed aside the nun who was blocking the way and walked into the small courtyard.
The Deputy Shangyi saw Qixia lying on the ground at a glance and was shocked. She quickly asked the palace maid to come forward and help her up.
"Princess Qixia is here to mourn for her elders. How can you humiliate her like this?"
Deputy Shangyi couldn't believe her eyes.
After listening to the Queen's instructions yesterday, she guessed that Princess Qixia might not be living well, so the Queen had specifically reminded her to send some daily food supplements.
She didn't expect that when she came here today, she would find that Princess Qixia was living a much worse life than she had imagined.
No matter what, she is a princess of the royal family.
Two palace maids went forward to help Qixia up. As soon as their hands touched her, Qixia couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Shangyi, the princess is injured."
One of the palace maids lifted up Qixia's clothes and screamed in surprise.
There was a scar on Qixia's back.
The bucket weighs more than ten pounds. If it hits your back suddenly, your bones might be broken.
"Help the princess into the house quickly. Qiuye, didn't you learn medicine from Sun Siyao? Please help first." After giving the order, the deputy Shangyi turned around and said, "Why don't you go and get a doctor?"
The nuns finally reacted and hurried to look for someone.
The palace maids carefully carried Qixia into the house.
Deputy Shangyi also followed him in.
The room looked quite spacious, with two rooms, one bright and one dark, and all the furniture needed. However, the bed looked as if it had not been moved for several days and was covered with a lot of dust.
But there was no time to care about those things at this time. After the palace maids helped the princess to the bed, the palace maid who knew some medical skills came forward to check her out.
"The bone should not be broken."
Deputy Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Qixia turned her head and looked at Deputy Shangyi while enduring the pain.
"I remember you are from the East Palace."
Deputy Shangyi showed a gentle smile.
"My princess has a good memory. I was indeed a female official in the Eastern Palace before. Now I am in the Shangyi Bureau, and I am honored to be the deputy Shangyi. Today, I am here on the orders of the Queen to deliver the wedding gift to the princess."
When a new baby is born in the family, even ordinary families have to inform relatives and give gifts.
However, ordinary people would just give some red eggs, while the royal family would naturally give more.
Qixia was a little confused at first.
She knew that the prince had ascended the throne, but she didn't know that Jiang Liangdi had become the queen.
So, she asked tentatively: "The Queen is...?"
Deputy Shangyi nodded slightly.
"Of course it's Consort Jiang Liangdi from the former East Palace, the birth mother of the Fourth Prince, Empress Jiang."
Qixia bit her lip.
This is actually not a surprise.
In the past in the Eastern Palace, the prince only favored Jiang Liangdi and let her manage the inner garden. Now that the prince has ascended the throne, it is reasonable for him to make her the queen.
But Qixia couldn’t understand why Jiang would send someone to deliver something to her?
Is she that kind?
These thoughts turned over and over in her mind, and after going around in a circle, she was shocked.
Good news!
Mom gave birth?
Her face was filled with ecstasy.
"But Wei... Wei gave birth to a little prince?"
Deputy Shangyi was a little surprised by her expression, but she still replied.
"Yes, Concubine Rong has given birth successfully."
After saying this, without waiting for Qixia to speak again, she corrected herself.
"But it's not a little prince, it's a little princess."
The smile on Qixia's face froze.
"Little princess? How could it be a little princess? No... It's impossible..."
She was in a daze, repeating these words over and over again.
Deputy Shangyi frowned, feeling that Princess Qixia was in a very abnormal condition.
She glanced at the other palace maids, asked them to step back behind her, and then cleared her throat.
"The things have been delivered, and I will return to the palace to report."
When Qixia heard this, she hurriedly supported herself with her arms and tried to get up.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
She looked anxious and panicked, ignoring the pain in her back and gritting her teeth to get out of bed.
Deputy Shangyi frowned even more tightly.
"Princess, lie down properly and don't hurt yourself again."
She thought Qixia was worried that the nuns in the temple would bully her after she and the others left, so she said something.
"You don't have to worry too much. Now that your concubine has left the palace and is living in Prince Ding's mansion, she is no longer in charge of things. I don't think these nuns will dare to bully the princess again."
I thought these words could comfort the other person, but unexpectedly Qixia shook her head.
"I, I want to see Queen Jiang...!"
Deputy Shangyi looked surprised.
"To see the Queen? I'm afraid that's not possible."
How could this be done? The Queen couldn't leave the palace to see her, and Qixia couldn't go back for the time being.
Even if the noble concubine asked to take back her order, the palace would not agree to let Qixia go back.
Qixia supported her body, gasping in pain and speaking incoherently.
"I, I know. Please, Shang Yi, give me a word."
Deputy Shangyi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Princess, please speak."
"You, come closer."
The deputy Shangyi took a few steps forward and half-knelt down in front of Qixia.
Qixia said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Deputy Shangyi's pupils contracted violently, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
"really?"
Qixia nodded and took a deep breath.
"If the Queen doesn't believe me, you can go to my old residence in the palace and look for evidence under the bed and bricks."
After she finished this long sentence, she could no longer hold on, her arms went limp, and she almost fell down.
Deputy Shangyi quickly supported her and put her back on the bed.
She thought for a moment, then turned and pointed at the two palace maids.
"Two of you stay here to take care of the princess first, and the rest of you, follow me back to the palace to report immediately."
The two palace maids answered yes and walked to the bed to guard Qixia.
Deputy Shangyi let out a breath, patted her face, and her expression returned to the same as when she entered the room. Then she walked out with the other palace maids.
She met many nuns along the way, but she did not stop. She walked out of the temple directly, got on the carriage, and rushed back to the palace.
When the deputy Shangyi returned to the palace, it was already dark.
She didn't even bother to rest and rushed directly to Liangyi Palace to ask for a meeting.
Jiang Wanyue was a little surprised when she heard the message from the palace maid and put down the memorial in her hand.
Li Ce was leaning on the couch listening to her reading a memorial. When he heard the voice stop, he opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wanyue calmed herself down and said with a smile.
"Someone from the Shangyi Bureau came to me and said they had something to report."
Li Ce disagreed.
"What important matter could there be in the Shangyi Bureau? Let her go back and report back tomorrow morning."
