Chapter 1309 The Princess Wakes Up
However, there was no trace of joy on Concubine Qi's face.
She quickly adjusted her expression, took a step forward, and softly soothed, "Your Highness, calm down. Take care of yourself."
At this point, Concubine Qi sighed softly, her tone filled with regret: "Who could have thought that Sister Guli would be so desperate and do such a treasonous thing."
"She must have been wronged in the palace, which is why she lost her mind for a moment. It's a pity... she ultimately angered His Majesty and ended up like this..."
Prince Jin did not speak, his eyes remained gloomy.
Concubine Qi observed his expression and continued gently, "Your Highness, please don't worry too much."
"Although it's a pity for Sister Guli's move, fortunately, after this incident, Concubine Zhuang and her have completely fallen out and become mortal enemies. Perhaps... this isn't entirely a bad thing?"
She was implying that even if Baharguli became a useless chess piece, as long as this person was still alive and harbored immense hatred towards Concubine Zhuang, she would still be of use.
Upon hearing this, Prince Jin raised his eyes, and his deep gaze fell on Concubine Qi's seemingly gentle and considerate face.
After a while, his voice returned to its usual gentle tone: "You are right."
“A useless chess piece may be placed in the most unexpected position.”
……
Changchun Palace.
The aroma of medicine still lingered in the inner hall.
On the bed, the eldest princess's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she finally opened her eyes with difficulty.
Her vision was blurred for a moment before gradually becoming clear, and she could see Concubine Zhuang standing by the bed with an anxious and worried look on her face.
"Mother...mother concubine..."
The eldest princess' voice was weak and dry, with the weakness of just waking up.
"Yun'er! My Yun'er! You're finally awake!"
Concubine Zhuang immediately rushed to the bedside, held the eldest princess's hand tightly, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
This sincere and heartfelt look would move anyone who saw it: "You scared your mother to death!"
"How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Looking at Concubine Zhuang's red eyes and anxious expression, the eldest princess felt a huge surge of warmth and emotion in her heart.
Recently, her mother seemed to be always worried and occasionally seemed a little impatient with her.
The eldest princess sensitively felt that her mother seemed to have become more vicious...
Now it seems that it must have been her illusion, her mother still loves her the most.
"Yun'er is fine..."
The eldest princess spoke in a low voice, trying hard to force a smile that would reassure Concubine Zhuang.
At this time, Qin Shan hurried in after hearing the news, carefully took the eldest princess's pulse, checked her complexion, and finally showed an expression of relief.
He said respectfully to Concubine Zhuang, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The eldest princess's pulse has stabilized, and the toxins in her body have been completely eliminated. From now on, she just needs to rest well for a period of time and take good care of herself, and she will be back to normal."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhuang's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed repeatedly, "Great! It's truly great!"
"Doctor Qin, this is all thanks to you!"
She immediately turned to Ruo Ji, her voice even lighter, "Hurry to the Yangxin Palace and report this good news to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can be at ease!"
"Yes!"
Ruoji immediately responded and left.
The eldest princess listened to the conversation between Concubine Zhuang and the imperial physician, but her little face was confused.
She struggled to sit up a little and asked doubtfully, "Mother... Yun'er... Yun'er, what happened?"
"What toxin? Is Yun'er poisoned?"
The smile on Concubine Zhuang's face froze for a moment, then turned into grief and fear.
She sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking the eldest princess's hair, and recounted what had happened in a tone that was as gentle as possible, but still full of condemnation.
How the eldest princess kindly went to Shuixi Pavilion to visit Concubine Chun, who was depressed after her miscarriage.
How did Concubine Chun appear to be close to her, but actually harbor evil intentions, using a strange poison from the Western Regions to secretly harm her? As a result, the eldest princess vomited blood and fell into a coma after returning to Changchun Palace, and her life was in danger...
Fortunately, Your Majesty is very observant and found the poison in Shuixi Pavilion. You have demoted Concubine Chun to a commoner and sent her to the cold palace.
However... after hearing this, the eldest princess's still weak eyes were filled with disbelief.
She shook her head violently, her voice weak but extremely firm: "No...No!"
"Mother, are you mistaken? Empress Chun will not harm me!"
"When Yun'er went to Shuixi Pavilion, we had snacks together and talked a lot... How could she harm me?"
"This must be a misunderstanding!"
The more the princess thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.
How could the Empress Chun, who would tell her stories about the Western Regions and play with her, and whose eyes sparkled, be the vicious person her mother described?
The strong sense of justice and the desire to protect her friends made the kind-hearted princess forget her weakness. She even struggled to throw off the quilt and get out of bed: "Yun'er wants to see father!"
"Yun'er, go and explain to father that Empress Chun is a good person and she must have been wronged!"
"Wuwuwu...We can't let Empress Chun stay in a place like the cold palace...Yun'er wants father to release her and restore her position!"
The eldest princess's actions and words were like a bolt from the blue to Concubine Zhuang!
She had calculated everything, including the emperor's suspicion, Baharguli's reaction, and how to clear herself.
But what he didn't anticipate was the eldest princess's untimely kindness and righteousness...
Concubine Zhuang felt a surge of blood rushing to her head, her vision almost went black, her chest heaved violently with anger, and she could hardly maintain her gentle and sad expression.
This stupid daughter!
Does she know what she is talking about? !
Concubine Zhuang pinched her palms tightly, using the sharp pain to force herself to calm down.
She must not let the eldest princess go to His Majesty and talk nonsense!
Concubine Zhuang quickly reached out and held down the agitated eldest princess, trying to sound as gentle as possible: "Yun'er, you just woke up and your body is still very weak. You must not get excited, and you must not get out of bed."
She forced the princess back onto the bed, covered her with the quilt, and said with a forced smile, "My dear Yun'er, you are young, innocent, and kind. You don't know how treacherous people are."
"Baharguli is an expert at disguise. Her kindness to you is just a means to confuse you."
"There's irrefutable evidence that she poisoned you. Your Majesty personally made the decision. How could he be wrong?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild anymore. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself."
The eldest princess was pushed back onto the bed by Concubine Zhuang. Looking at her gentle yet remarkably persistent eyes, her heart full of grievances and confusion could only turn into tears, which silently slid down the pillow...
She didn't understand why everything changed overnight?
Concubine Zhuang looked at the eldest princess's tears of grievance, and felt no pity in her heart, only an indescribable irritation.
It seems that there are some things that must never be known by this overly naive daughter.
