Main Consort tugged the corner of her lips and said, “I want to ask the Crown Prince’s Consort, why have your legs recovered, while Prince Huai’s leg injury still hasn’t healed?”

“I am not a doctor.”

“The Yu Shengshou who treated the Crown Prince’s Consort, I also sought him to treat Prince Huai, but Yu Shengshou said he was powerless. Could it be under the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince’s Consort’s instigation?”

“Main Consort!” Jiang Ning slammed the armrest of her wheelchair, shouting, “What evidence do you have to make such allegations? If you don’t have any, that’s slander! Let us ask for justice in front of the Empress!”

She had always been gentle, languid, and smiling, so her sudden outburst frightened Main Consort.

Main Consort hesitated and said, “If not, why…”

“People vary, as do injuries. How can we generalize? Besides, if someone does something wrong, they will eventually suffer retribution.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean Prince Huai has done countless evil deeds and deserves it!”

“Jiang Ning!”

“How presumptuous!” Huang Ying shouted, “Do you think you can call the Crown Prince’s Consort by her name?”

Main Consort’s face turned pale with anger.

“In the future, don’t call me casually.” Jiang Ning glanced at her, “After all, your rank is lower than mine. At this age, you have to pay your respects every time we meet, and I am quite embarrassed about it.”

Main Consort:”…”

“Gucheng, let’s go.” Jiang Ning ordered.

Gucheng stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair away.

Main Consort’s face changed for a moment, and she whispered, “Don’t be too arrogant, or else…”

“Wait.” Jiang Ning asked Gucheng to stop, “Actually, Main Consort, you didn’t remind me, I almost forgot one thing.”

“What is it?”

“I haven’t avenged the grudge towards Prince Huai and Princess Consort of Huai. When I return to the East Palace, I will send someone to bring them over, allow them to revisit the past, and then give them a good lecture.”

Main Consort’s face changed completely, “Why would you do that?”

“Why did Main Consort do that? Your son was already winning but insisted on sealing his doom. So, he’s allowed to hurt others but can’t be fought back against? Losing is losing; don’t try to justify it. There’s no benefit in making an enemy out of me. After all, your son has already lost his opportunities. Before you act in the future, think carefully if it’s worth it.”

Main Consort was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, “I was impulsive today. Can you not summon Prince Huai?”

“Fine.”

“Really?” Main Consort seemed surprised that Jiang Ning was so amenable.

Jiang Ning turned around with a smile, “I’ve always been a person who prefers persuasion over force. Making things easier for others also makes things easier for myself. Right? Let’s go.”

And this time, they really left.

Main Consort watched her receding figure, standing under the peach tree for a long time, before slowly regaining her composure.

Her maidservant helped her back to her room and sat her down.

She sat in a daze for a long time, then said to the maidservant beside her, “I’ve lived for decades and experienced so much; there’s no storm I haven’t weathered. I’ve struggled and fought in the palace to hold the position of Main Consort, bear sons for His Majesty, and after all this, I still have to pay my respects to a girl who’s just entered the palace? How is this fair?”

The maidservant whispered, “She is the Crown Prince’s Main Consort, and according to palace rules, her status is indeed higher than yours…”

“I know her status is higher than mine!” Main Consort raised her voice, her originally charming eyes full of anger and becoming hideous, “I only have one son, and he’s been ruined by them! Am I supposed to just watch them live happily in the East Palace?”
