Inside a lavish palace, Empress Feng’s eyes were slightly red, she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
"Is Chen’er seriously injured?"
The Empress Dowager entered, supported by a nanny.
Behind her, accompanied the concubine Shi Pin.
Seeing Empress Feng and then glancing at the Third Prince on the bed, Shi Pin cautiously lowered her eyes, but a hint of worry flickered in her eyes.
"Grand Empress, Chen’er is fine."
Long Qingchen looked weak, trying to struggle to sit up, but after a few attempts, he cried out in pain, alarming both the Empress Dowager and Empress Feng. The Empress Dowager imdiately called for the Imperial Physician.
"Empress Dowager, the Imperial Physicians have already visited several tis. They said that Chen’er has damaged his ridians, and his cultivation has dropped a level. Whether he can fully recover in the future will depend on luck."
Empress Feng said, wiping the corners of her eyes again.
"My poor obedient grandson, what sin did you commit, to even damage your ridians?"
The Empress Dowager’s expression also changed upon hearing this.
Long Qingchen is Empress Feng’s child, and apart from the Crown Prince, he is the Empress Dowager’s favorite grandson.
When Long Qingchen was young, he was raised for several months under the care of the Empress Dowager, so their relationship has always been good.
Now that the Crown Prince is away, the Empress Dowager has been showering even more affection on Long Qingchen.
Long Qingchen is a Martial Artist, and damaging one of the Five ridians, the lung ridian, ans his future cultivation will surely be affected.
This is a major hindrance to his future prospects, no wonder Empress Feng has been feeling so lancholy.
"Grand Empress, it was grandson’s own foolishness, believing in soone else’s slander, that led to this..."
Long Qingchen showed a look of remorse.
"Qingchen! Stop talking nonsense. I believe they did not intentionally an to harm you."
Empress Feng reprimanded.
Long Qingchen fell silent.
"My dear grandson, speak up, who hard you? Tell Grand Empress, and she will get justice for you."
The Empress Dowager’s face stretched out, looking as if she was ready to take action.
Shi Pin, standing by, couldn’t help but tighten her grip slightly, feeling a vague sense of unease.
"It was Little Eight and Little Qi who conspired together and deceived . They told there were spirit fish in Qin Mountain Black Water Lake that could increase cultivation. Thinking the End of Year Assessnt was approaching, I wanted to shine at the Little Eagle Chick Conference, to bring glory to Longteng, so I went to Black Water Lake. As a result..."
After Long Qingchen finished speaking, he cried out in pain again.
"Little Qi and Little Eight?"
The Empress Dowager’s brows furrowed, her gaze becoming more severe, she glanced at Shi Pin.
"Shi Pin, were you aware of this matter?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this concubine was not aware. Empress Dowager, Little Qi and Little Eight are still children, I presu they didn’t do it deliberately. I beg Empress Feng and the Third Prince to have rcy."
Shi Pin truly did not know about this matter, she had heard about the Third Prince’s injury but was unaware that Little Xin Zhuo was also involved.
She felt uneasy, glancing at Empress Feng and Long Qingchen, who both had smiles at the corner of their mouths, looking gleefully at her. Her heart sank, realizing that today’s matter...
"Whether it was intentional or not, just ask and you’ll know. Grand Empress, grandson has damaged a ridian, wanting to enter the Blood Realm in the future will at least be delayed by several years. Grandson doesn’t want to live anymore."
Long Qingchen shouted.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes turned sharp, speaking coldly.
"Go invite Consort Zhao, and bring Little Qi and Little Eight back from the Academy. This must be thoroughly investigated, to give Chen’er justice."
Upon hearing this, Shi Pin’s body trembled, clutching her handkerchief tightly, silently praying that Little Xin Zhuo would not be found.
