Doctor Shen came out quickly. Although she had heard Wang Yuerong's words, Old Lady Su still hurriedly called Doctor Shen to inquire about the situation: "Is everything okay? You fell from such a high horse, are you really okay?"
Doctor Shen had a strange expression on his face.
Yes, after falling from such a high horse, it was just a coincidence that only some insignificant parts were injured, while the most critical parts were not hurt at all.
You know, Princess Chun'an, who was on the same horse, died on the spot.
Doctor Shen hesitated for a while, frowned and said, "Her life is safe, but whether she can wake up and whether there will be other problems after she wakes up, we still have to wait until she wakes up to see."
Old Mrs. Su stared at Doctor Shen for a long time, then suddenly covered her face and started crying.
Su Xingyi and Wang Yuerong also started crying, and the entire Yongding Marquis's Mansion was filled with weeping.
"Don't cry." Empress Dowager Tian was also in the Cining Palace at this time. She sighed and looked at Princess Fenyang who was crying so hard that she couldn't stand up. "No one could have thought that something like this would happen, but since it has already happened, there is nothing we can do. Chun'an..."
Although Princess Chun'an did a lot of stupid things recently, there were not many people in the royal family. One less person died. Empress Dowager Tian felt sorry for her. She comforted Princess Fenyang in a gentle voice: "Please accept my condolences."
Princess Fenyang cried uncontrollably, unable to control herself. She shook her head desperately, "My queen, I can't mourn. How can I mourn? I... I wish we could die together. If something happens to the prince and Chun'an, I... I will be the only one left in this world. What's the point of living?"
Queen Mother Tian sighed: "What nonsense! The dead are dead, but the living must continue to live. Besides, this was an accident. Who could have thought of it?"
Princess Fenyang's eyes were red and swollen. Without any makeup, she looked a dozen years older. She was no longer as graceful and elegant as usual. Upon hearing what Queen Mother Tian said, she fell to her knees and kowtowed to her: "Your Majesty! I... I beg you to clear Chun'an's name!"
Empress Dowager Tian frowned and before she could speak, the voice of Emperor Yuanfeng came from outside.
Empress Dowager Tian and Princess Fenyang both looked outside and saw Emperor Yuanfeng walking quickly in.
"What innocence?" Emperor Yuanfeng looked at Princess Fenyang who stood up and then knelt down to salute. He paused before saying, "Princess, please stand up. You just said that you wanted to clear Chun'an's name."
Princess Fenyang supported her knees with her hands and stood up, sobbing softly: "Your Majesty, I think Chun'an's horse was frightened not by accident, but by human beings!"
Empress Dowager Tian looked at her sharply.
Emperor Yuanfeng said calmly, "What do you mean?"
Princess Fenyang couldn't help crying again: "Chun'an's horsemanship is very good, and His Majesty and the Queen Mother also know this. If the horse hadn't been frightened, she wouldn't have fallen off the horse... I think there's something strange about the horse going crazy!"
Emperor Yuanfeng did not speak but just looked at Princess Fenyang quietly. After a while, he spoke: "I will ask the Dali Temple to investigate. If someone really did it on purpose, Chun'an's death will never be in vain."
Princess Fenyang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Queen Mother Tian shook her head and asked Princess Fenyang to stand up. She frowned and asked, "I heard that Chun'an knocked down many civilians along the way. Are there any casualties?"
Princess Fenyang pursed her lips hastily: "Yes, nine people were injured, and two... died. I have already instructed the chief secretary to properly arrange for their resettlement and compensation."
Empress Dowager Tian did not say anything else. After all, Princess Chun'an was already dead.
She paused and said, "That's fine, but what about the Yongding Marquis's Mansion?"
Princess Fenyang lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes.
"The Princess of Changning risked her life to save Chun'an, and I heard that she is still in danger. Although Chun'an was in trouble in the end, she risked her life for the royal family, and we must remember this favor." Empress Dowager Tian did not look at Princess Fenyang again, but turned to look at Emperor Yuanfeng: "This child is not easy. She is so young, but she has such courage and spirit. It is really rare and she should be rewarded."
Princess Fenyang looked up suddenly, then thought of something and quickly lowered her head, clenching her hands tightly.
Her daughters are dead! No matter what, Princess Chun'an was a royal lady and a princess. She died, but the result was just a pity comment from Queen Mother Tian, and then they started discussing another person's reward without any scruples.
Reward!
She wants to reward the person who killed her daughter!
She was filled with rage, but she suppressed her emotions tightly and dared not show any abnormality - the situation of Fenyang Palace was already difficult enough, and Princess Chun'an's death was not glorious. If she angered Emperor Yuanfeng and Empress Dowager Tian, Princess Chun'an would not even have posthumous honors.
Keep calm, she advised herself in her heart. Her dry lips broke in an instant because she wanted to force a smile. The fishy-sweet taste immediately filled her mouth. She endured it and smiled reluctantly, "Yes, I have to thank... Changning County Lady. If she hadn't stepped forward, who knows how long the frightened horse would have run, and I'm afraid it would have hurt someone again."
This sounds plausible.
Queen Mother Tian nodded.
Emperor Yuanfeng obviously thought that this was the right thing to do. He hummed and said, "She already has the title of county princess. Logically speaking, there are only a handful of women in the world who are not from the royal family and can get the title of county princess. You can't give her the title of county princess, right? Since you can't give her the title, then reward her with gold, silver and farmland."
Queen Mother Tian laughed at the side: "In this case, Yaoyao will become a small wealthy woman. It can be said that she was not hurt in vain."
How ridiculous!
These people can actually laugh!
Princess Fenyang came out of the palace trembling all over, and she was still shaking uncontrollably until she got on the carriage.
Mr. Cui, who had been waiting nearby, couldn't help but lower his voice and called out to the princess in worry, "Did something get discovered in the palace?"
Princess Fenyang came back to her senses, her expression cold but filled with resentment and ridicule, and she shook her head randomly.
She refused to speak and seemed to be in a very bad mood. Now was not the time to ask more questions. Mr. Cui suppressed his worries and shook his head slowly. He waited until they returned to the mansion before he followed Princess Fenyang into the mansion and asked softly, "Princess, what happened? I see that you seem... ... Did the palace embarrass you?"
Princess Fenyang raised her hand and swept the things on the desk off the table. Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of things breaking on the ground.
