Chapter 862: Chapter 862: The Ordeal Is Finally Over
"What about the Crown Princess Consort?" Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu sensed something suspicious, but to know the truth of the matter, he still needed to ask.
"The Crown Princess Consort, huh!" Qin Zhou sneered, "What is her status? The Crown Prince is relying on the power of the Wang Family to secure his position. Even if he’s forced to send the Crown Princess Consort to the temple as punishment, it’s just a change of place to enjoy comfort."
Ye Jiu understood.
Sometimes, the severity of punishment depends entirely on one’s power and influence.
The reason the Princess Consort of Prince Jing ended up in such a state is that she took the punishment seriously. Therefore, not only is she enduring others’ punishment, but she is also suffering the punishment she imposed on herself.
Meanwhile, the Crown Princess Consort reluctantly came here and has the Wang Family and the Crown Prince Residence as her backing. As long as things are slightly managed, naturally, no one would dare to mistreat her.
The Jing Princess Consort, in the dead of winter, couldn’t even get basic charcoal. Perhaps quite a bit of that is due to the machinations of the Crown Princess Consort?
After all, the fact that the Crown Princess Consort is here is because of her own mistakes. Yet, she is actually the cause, and such a person would naturally not find fault in herself, so she would only put the blame on oneself.
Being far away at the Jing Prince’s Residence, even if the Crown Princess Consort resents her, she is powerless.
Moreover, as her birth mother, the Jing Princess Consort naturally becomes the main target for the Crown Princess Consort’s pent-up anger!
Nanny Liu returned and saw Ye Jiu and Qin Zhou sitting on the ground in the courtyard. Immediately, she greeted them, "This old servant greets the Commandery Princess and the Young Master."
"No need for formalities." Upon Ye Jiu’s words, Nanny Liu then stood up.
Then Ye Jiu asked, "Has the doctor been called?"
"Commandery Princess, the monks at Songye Temple have been asked to help call for one."
After Nanny Liu responded, she was finally a little relieved not hearing any coughing from inside the room.
Looking at the upright and graceful Ye Jiu now, Nanny Liu couldn’t help but say a few words on behalf of her master.
She suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Commandery Princess, though the Princess Consort indeed wronged you in the past, she has also been punished these few years. This old servant audaciously begs the Commandery Princess to forgive the Princess Consort. Otherwise, even if a doctor comes and cures her physical ailment, he can’t relieve her mental torment. The Princess Consort’s main ailment is in her heart. If this continues, I’m afraid she might really not hold on much longer..."
From the Jing Princess Consort’s behavior, Ye Jiu could tell she was genuinely remorseful, yet never imagined she would blame herself to such an extent, even to the point of self-harm.
Then looking at Nanny Liu kneeling at her feet, Ye Jiu still felt some affection for this elder, merely because of the words she spoke to persuade the Jing Princess Consort when Ye Jiu was taken away.
Ye Jiu stood up and personally helped Nanny Liu up, saying, "This time, the Commandery Princess and my father came to take Mother Consort away from here."
"Really?" At that moment, Nanny Liu felt as if she were dreaming and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "I’m not dreaming, am I?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Qin Zhou. Seeing him nod, she finally believed it wasn’t a dream but reality.
"Thank you, Commandery Princess, thank you for your generosity..." This time, Nanny Liu’s smile was one of heartfelt relief.
The Princess Consort has finally reached the end of her suffering. As long as she returns to the Jing Prince’s Residence, with her heart in it, she will eventually win back the hearts of the Prince and the Commandery Princess.
