无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

The Empress was originally a suspicious person, so she immediately sent someone to Prince Yu’s mansion with an imperial decree, ordering Jiang Ning to personally bring the emperor’s eldest grandson back to the palace.

Jiang Ning was furious upon receiving the imperial decree, wanting Xiaoman to beat the eunuch who delivered the decree out.

In the cold snowy night, moving a sick child back and forth like that was simply tormenting people, wasn’t it?

“The Empress doesn’t trust us here in Prince Yu’s residence.” Huang Ying whispered, “Although I didn’t serve the Empress when I was in the palace, I always knew that she was suspicious. Besides, the emperor’s eldest grandson is her only legitimate grandson. It’s inevitable for her to be anxious.”

“Is this woman’s brain unclear?” Jiang Ning was annoyed, “What mess does she want to add to at this time? If I had any ill intentions towards Xiaoqian, would I need to wait till now?”

“The Empress used to be fine, but as she’s getting older, she can’t help but have soft ears, listening to others’ instigations and getting confused.” Huang Ying advised, “You’ve just defied the decree once. If the Empress sends someone again for the second time, you must not do that again. Wrap the emperor’s eldest grandson in a blanket, and it won’t have too much impact if he’s in the carriage.”

Three imperial eunuchs were waiting outside, looking like they wouldn’t leave until Jiang Ning sent the emperor’s eldest grandson back to the palace.

The head eunuch said, “Princess Consort of Yu, it’s better to send the emperor’s eldest grandson back to the palace now. It’s getting late, let’s not make a big fuss. If it gets to the Emperor, it’s not good for either of us.”

Xiaoman said, “Princess Consort, let me go and beat them.”

“There’s no need.”

As the saying goes, it’s easier to see the devil than to deal with his minions.

Especially those who work by the Emperor and the Empress’s side, their actions can easily influence them.

It’s not wise to offend them lightly.

“Bring me my sable fur coat.”

Jiang Ning ordered the preparations to be made.

Xiaoqian had just taken his medicine and lay down to sleep.

Jiang Ning really didn’t want to disturb him.

Xiaoqian woke up by himself, rubbed his eyes, and said groggily, “Aunt, it’s noisy outside. What happened?”

Jiang Ning touched his forehead and said softly, “Xiaoqian, be good. Your Imperial Grandmother heard that you were sick and sent someone to take you back to the palace because she’s worried about you.”

“I don’t want to go back, Aunt, don’t send me away, I don’t want to leave you.” Xiaoqian immediately got up and hugged Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning held him and patted his back, “Xiaoqian, don’t be afraid. That’s your Imperial Grandmother. She loves you the most.”

“But I want to stay with Aunt.”

“Listen to your aunt, okay? You go back to your Imperial Grandmother first, and when you recover, I’ll come take you back.”

“Really?”

“Of course, when has Aunt ever lied to you? In a few days, your little royal uncle will be back. It’s better for me to pick you up together with him, right?”

After coaxing him for half the day and promising to go pick him up, Xiaoqian finally agreed to return.

Jiang Ning dressed him warmly and wrapped him in the coat, then personally sat in the carriage and sent him back to the palace.

On this occasion, they definitely couldn’t leave Xiaoman behind, as getting in and out of the carriage was inconvenient for her.

The two younger ones were making a fuss, so Huang Ying and the others stayed behind to watch over them.

The carriage traveled through the thick snow on the street, and they didn’t dare to go too fast for fear of slipping. Fortunately, Jiang Fu’s driving skills were top-notch, and they soon arrived steadily outside the Immortal-view Gate.

Jiang Ning sat in a wheelchair, holding Xiaoqian.

Xiaoman pushed her, following the eunuchs towards the Empress’s residence at the Flourish Blessing Palace.

The Empress couldn’t wait any longer and kept sending people out to look for them.

As soon as she saw Jiang Ning and Xiaoqian, she immediately supported the palace maid and hurried out.

After all, he was her own grandson, and she truly loved him dearly..
