Yu Wan'er hoped that Nan Zhiyun would adopt her. Nan Zhiyun was moved by the pitiable Yu Wan'er, finding herself reluctant to push away this second princess.
"Take the second princess to the imperial concubine," Yu Jingchen commanded.
"Yes," a palace attendant stepped forward to take Yu Wan'er, but she refused to let go.
"Please, Imperial Concubine Shu..." Yu Wan'er refused to release her grip.
"Wait..." Nan Zhiyun finally spoke.
"Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen.
"Perhaps the second princess could stay at He An Palace for a while, but she doesn't need to be registered under my name," Nan Zhiyun said. He An Palace was quite large, and adding one more child wouldn't be an issue.
"Are you truly willing?" Yu Jingchen asked for confirmation.
"It's just one more person, it's fine. I'll have Qiu Yun go serve her," Nan Zhiyun replied.
"Alright, then she shall stay," Yu Jingchen agreed. He then looked at Yu Wan'er, "You will live at He An Palace from now on. Do not bother Imperial Concubine Shu, or I will have you live alone." Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes... Wan'er will not bother Imperial Concubine Shu... Thank you, Imperial Concubine Shu, thank you, Father Emperor." Yu Wan'er kowtowed. One had to admit, she was very sensible.
Yu Jingchen's expression softened considerably, "Then let's send the second princess back to He An Palace. When the imperial physicians arrive, have them examine her injuries, apply medicine, and check if there are any other issues. Take good care of her," Yu Jingchen instructed.
"Yes," Qiu Yun acknowledged and picked up the second princess, leaving.
After Qiu Yun left with Yu Wan'er, Yu Jingchen looked at Zhao Zhaorong, who was on the ground. "Zhao Zhaorong is demoted to Baolin and confined for one year. She will copy Buddhist scriptures ten times daily to calm her mind." Having said this, he didn't care about Zhao Zhaorong's reaction and left the pavilion directly, carrying Nan Zhiyun.
Zhao Zhaorong collapsed on the ground, clenching her fists. Why? She was unwilling!
News of the second princess being sent to He An Palace by Yu Jingchen spread throughout the harem, especially the part where Yu Jingchen had intended to send her to the imperial concubine, but Nan Zhiyun had intercepted.
Yun Peng Palace
"She did it on purpose," Yan Qing said.
"This servant also thinks Imperial Concubine Shu did this intentionally. How could she be like this? Considering how much Your Ladyship has defended Imperial Concubine Shu," a palace maid began to protest.
"It wasn't Imperial Concubine Shu," Yan Qing replied. Not Imperial Concubine Shu? The palace maid was bewildered. "Your Ladyship, it was clearly Imperial Concubine Shu's doing. Why do you say it wasn't her?" The maid couldn't understand, looking confused.
"Enough, don't worry about it. I probably won't have children in this lifetime, nor do I need them. They're just a burden," Yan Qing said indifferently. The palace maid was confused by Yan Qing's words. Who was Her Ladyship referring to as doing it intentionally just now?
If it wasn't Imperial Concubine Shu, could it be His Majesty? Or Zhao Zhaorong? But neither of them was possible...
He An Palace
Yu Jingchen placed Nan Zhiyun on the bed. The imperial physicians had already arrived and came here immediately after examining the second princess.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the injuries on Imperial Concubine Shu are not serious," the imperial physician said after a thorough examination. Yu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were no major problems.
"How is the second princess?" Yu Jingchen remembered to ask.
"To Your Majesty, the second princess has many bruises and marks from being hit..." The imperial physician hesitated slightly while saying this.
