Only then did the Empress Dowager notice the existence of Princess Xuehua. She saw that her face was swollen like a pig’s head and that one of her legs was crippled. At this moment, she stumbled over. The Empress Dowager showed a shocked expression. “What happened to you? How did you get beaten up like this?”
It had been a long time since Princess Xuehua had seen the Empress Dowager so concerned about her. Ever since Su Qian entered the palace, she had no idea what kind of bewitching potion she had fed the Empress Dowager, causing the Empress Dowager to miss Su Qian day and night and neglecting Princess Xuehua.
Princess Xuehua was once again favored and was so happy that she didn’t even know her name. She looked at Su Qian smugly and cried pitifully, “Mother, Su Qian hit me! Just now, Su Qian wanted to barge in, but I was worried about your safety, so I went up to stop her. Who knew that Su Qian would beat me up without saying a word? Look at how she bullied me!”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately withdrew her concern for Princess Xuehua and said arrogantly, “You’re talking nonsense. Our Qianqian is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason! Qianqian, tell me, what happened?”
“Just now, I took the waist token given by Ninth Prince and came to ask for medicine from the Empress Dowager. However, Princess Xuehua refused to let me pa.s.s. That’s why I hit her.” Su Qian admitted openly and said, “I’ve beaten her up. However, it’s not that easy for Princess Xuehua to make me take the blame.”
When Princess Xuehua heard this, she was almost angered to death by Su Qian. Just as she was about to flare up, she watched as the Empress Dowager patted her thigh. “Good! As expected of the person Xiao Jiu had taken a fancy to. Daring and decisive! Qianqian, don’t worry. With me supporting you, you don’t have to be afraid!”
When Princess Xuehua heard this, she immediately trembled in fear. She felt like a cabbage in the ground, unloved and uncared. “Mother, I was beaten!” “Why were you beaten? You deserved to be beaten. I’ve said it before, the waist token given to Xiao Jiu is equivalent to me. When you see the waist token, it’s like seeing me. You know this, but you still dare to make mistakes. You deserve it.” The Empress Dowager had lost her last bit of patience. She raised her hand and waved at Princess Xuehua impatiently as if she was chasing away a fly. “Go, go, go quickly. Don’t be an eyesore here. Go back and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors.”
Princess Xuehua almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Before she left, she didn’t forget to glare angrily at Su Qian.
Su Qian shrugged it off. She didn’t have the time to deal with Princess Xuehua. All her attention was on the Dragon Flame Fruit that was about to be delivered.
As soon as Princess Xuehua left, the Dragon Flame Fruit was hurriedly brought up by the subordinates.
“Good child, take this medicine and quickly go back to save people.” The Empress Dowager looked at Su Qian lovingly and smiled. “If there’s anything you need, feel free to come again.”
“Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will take my leave first.” After receiving the Dragon Flame Fruit and the waist token that had been knocked to the ground, Su Qian bowed to the Empress Dowager and quickened her pace as she left in a hurry.
As she watched Su Qian leave quickly, Empress Dowager felt satisfied no matter how she looked at her. After Su Qian disappeared, she finally reluctantly withdrew her gaze and returned to her bedroom to rest..
