Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 659: The Princess Consort Must Not Lower Her Status

Moreover, the punishment was quite severe, as Prince Xinhai’s finger was directly severed.

If the news reaches the Silla Kingdom, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar.

Although Silla is a small country, it has strong national power and a strong army, which can help Great Sheng resist the iron cavalry and whips of the Prairie Cavalry.

In general, the Silla Kingdom is very important to Great Sheng.

Li Hongyuan’s move, although satisfying, will bring him a lot of trouble.

Jiang Ning doesn’t know if Li Hongyuan has thought of a solution, but with his deep and cautious nature, he would not act before he is fully prepared.

Jiang Ning is a bit worried that the beauty on this sick bed would be troubled by this.

She dismissed her maids and tucked the quilt for Princess Zhenming.

Princess Zhenming’s face and lips were pale, her eyes dull and weak, and her voice was a little hoarse: “Princess Consort, I just heard them vaguely say that the Crown Prince was injured?”

“He suffered a little injury, but his life is not in danger. Your Highness, do not worry, it is most important for you to take care of yourself.” Jiang Ning said softly.

“Where is the wound?”

“I heard that he severed a little finger.” Jiang Ning looked at Princess Zhenming’s expression and decided to tell the truth, “He saw the beautiful dagger in the Crown Prince’s hand and wanted to grab it to play with, but accidentally hurt himself.”

“Oh.”

Princess Zhenming nodded slightly, her face expressionless, and her eyes remained calm, as if she had only heard a trivial matter, “It is indeed a good thing that Xinhai, who is usually a bit arrogant, should come to Chang’an, suffer some hardships, and temper his character.”

Jiang Ning was pleased: “It’s great that Your Highness can think like this. Come, bring the medicine over.”

The maids brought the prepared medicine, Jiang Ning took it, blew on it, “Your Highness, let me feed you.”

Princess Zhenming quickly refused: “Princess Consort, your status is noble, how can you do such a demeaning thing? Servants will take care of such small matters.”

Two maids kneeled and came in to serve.

Seeing Princess Zhenming’s sincere fear, Jiang Ning did not insist, handed the bowl of medicine to the maid, and smiled: “This discomfort is not a serious illness, but it is indeed troublesome. Your Highness, take good care of yourself these days. When you are better, I will take you to the palace for fun.”

“Thank you, Princess Consort.” Princess Zhenming tried to get up but was held down by Jiang Ning.

After Jiang Ning left, she found Li Hongyuan, and they returned to the East Palace hand in hand.

The sky was already brightening.

Li Hongyuan had to attend the morning court, so he couldn’t go back to sleep. He could only take a brief rest, eat something, and then change clothes and leave.

The matter with Prince Xinhai cannot be concealed, and it will soon spread.

Even if outsiders don’t know the details, the East Palace is responsible for the reception, and since Prince Xinhai was injured, the Crown Prince would not escape blame. At the morning court, he will definitely be attacked.

Moreover, with a new prince appearing in the imperial court, there will inevitably be some changes in the political landscape.

Returning to the East Palace, Jiang Ning summoned the eunuch and asked him to go to the Jiang Family, requesting Jiang Yi to find a few items and send them to the Traveling Palace.

Jiang Yi naturally took Jiang Ning’s matters seriously. He personally found and sent the items to the Traveling Palace, instead of relying on his servants.

When the items were placed in front of Princess Zhenming, they were revealed as a small bag of earth, a pot of water, and a smooth, white piece of tofu.

Princess Zhenming was confused: “What is this for?”

An attendant explained: “Third Master of the Jiang Family sent them here, saying that the water and earth were from Silla, and the tofu is made from Silla soybeans.”
