Chapter 92: Chapter 92

After confirming there was no problem, he said, "The princess’s injury is just a superficial wound, likely cut unintentionally by a sharp object. It’s not serious, it’ll heal after a few days of rest."

Emperor Yongning trusted Doctor Xiao’s medical skills. Hearing that it was fine, the long-suspended worry in his heart could finally settle. However...

Emperor Yongning asked again, "Will this injury leave a scar?" It wouldn’t look good for a girl to have a scar.

Doctor Xiao, while cleaning Jun Ning’s wound, said, "Children’s recovery ability is stronger than adults, it won’t leave a scar."

"But, Your Majesty, the princess’s health is relatively weak. Once I finish bandaging the princess’s wound, I’ll prescribe a tonic to nourish her body well. Your Majesty must ensure she takes her medicine under supervision."

"Alright!" Emperor Yongning agreed, "Deliver the medicine to Panlong Palace on time every day."

Afterward, after Doctor Xiao helped bandage Jun Ning’s wound, Emperor Yongning took her back to Panlong Palace. Doctor Xiao personally oversaw the medicine preparation himself and ensured it was delivered on time according to the prescription.

Jun Ning didn’t like taking medicine, and it took Emperor Yongning a long time to convince her to drink it all reluctantly.

For the next dose, Emperor Yongning wasn’t sure yet.

Once again, he deeply felt the effort and care required in raising a daughter. However, in his exhaustion, he also found joy, accepting it all willingly.

"Bao’er, how would you like to deal with Consort Zhao?" Emperor Yongning asked.

He had been considering this matter since returning from the Imperial Hospital, and now he had an idea. However, he wanted to hear Jun Ning’s thoughts.

Jun Ning thought that Emperor Yongning was concerned about the backing behind Consort Zhao, reluctant to deal with the empress and then immediately with Consort Zhao. In her impatience, she touched the bandage on her neck and tearfully said, "Father, Consort Zhao not only unjustly beat my mother, nearly to death, but also put a knife to my neck."

Saying this, Jun Ning couldn’t control her tears from falling one by one.

Emperor Yongning, feeling deeply distressed, hurriedly went forward to help wipe her tears and comforted, "Bao’er, don’t cry, we can talk about this slowly."

Jun Ning not only didn’t stop crying but began to sob even more severely.

"Father, this time she put a knife to my neck and only scratched it, didn’t really do anything severe. But what about next time?"

"What if next time I am not so lucky, barely escaping from her hands? Then you will never see me again." This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

Jun Ning tearfully accused.

Every word struck Emperor Yongning’s heart.

Emperor Yongning couldn’t even dare imagine what would happen if Jun Ning encountered such a thing again. As for Jun Ning’s words, he couldn’t stand to listen to them at all.

He stepped forward and covered Jun Ning’s mouth, saying, "Bao’er, don’t speak nonsense, nothing will happen to you again, and I won’t let anything happen to you again. As for Consort Zhao..."

Emperor Yongning did not hesitate anymore and directly announced the decision he had long considered.

"Consort Zhao shall be flogged fifty strokes, and if she survives, sent to the Cold Palace."

The reason he had asked Jun Ning’s opinion was not because he wanted to favor Consort Zhao, nor out of concern for the power of the empress’s maternal family behind Consort Zhao. Rather, he feared that his punishment would be too harsh and frighten his precious daughter.

But now, seeing his precious daughter and her mother bullied into such a state, they both hated Consort Zhao deeply, without any concerns at all.
