They chatted all the way until night when Ye Jinsu, standing next to Madam Shu, felt uncomfortable from head to toe.
It was even more uncomfortable than being rolled up by Ye Mo in the Ye residence.
She lowered her head and stared at the ground without saying a word.
It was unknown when the room turned silent. Perhaps they were talking about something. The Grand Princess glanced in Ye Jinsu's direction, and her gaze eased up a bit compared to before. However, Ye Jinsu lowered her head and did not notice this.
Putting down the teacup, the Grand Princess sighed and said, "Call the Imperial Physician over, let her have a look as well."
The Grand Princess was looking in the direction of Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinsu was stunned and was caught off guard.
The Grand Princess's expression was the same as before, except it wasn't as cold. "You were the closest to that criminal just now. I don't know if he hurt you by accident. Call the imperial physician to take a look."
Ye Jinsu could only nod.
The departing imperial physician rushed over once more to take a look through the veins along with Madam Shu.
Although Madam Shu was bold, she didn't scare her. Ye Jinsu naturally didn't have any particular injuries. The imperial physician and the duo had just experienced this and wrote another two prescriptions to calm their spirits.
Ye Jinsu nodded silently.
Mrs Shu suddenly stood up from the side, grabbed Ye Jinsu's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister, are you afraid? How could I have forgotten that my hand is injured? "
Ning Yunyin's expression darkened.
Under Ye Jinsu's widened eyes, Lady Shu opened her sleeve.
A bright red bite mark could be seen on his arm. Due to the blood loss and the lack of time to deal with it, the wound was covered in a clump of blood, making it look rather scary.
Ye Jinsu didn't expect it to be this serious. She didn't even bother to look at her wounds when she was in such a hurry.
It still seemed to hurt.
The imperial physician moved closer to take a look and immediately understood what was going on. "Don't worry, Qi Wangfei. This wound's only a bite. It looks like it was bitten by Princess An Yun in a hurry."
With that, the imperial physician turned to the servant beside him. "Go get some water."
After cleaning up Ye Jinsu's wounds, two rows of bright red teeth marks were revealed. It wasn't deep, but it was still bleeding.
After applying some medicine, the imperial physician carefully bandaged Ye Jinxiu before turning to the First Princess. "Your subordinate has already finished bandaging Miss Ye's wounds. They will be healed in two to three days. Grand Princess need not worry."
The Grand Princess looked at Ye Jinsu with a slightly impatient expression, but her tone was a little better.
"It's good that you're fine."
"Thank you for protecting An Yun today." The Grand Princess looked at Ye Jinxiu and suddenly said. She was still expressionless, but her tone was a lot better.
Ye Jinxiu didn't know how to react.
Lady Shu, who was standing to the side, quickly gave Ye Jinsu a gentle push. Only then did Ye Jinsu quickly reply, "I just …"
"Alright, it's getting late tonight. You can go back."
Before she could finish her words, the Grand Princess interrupted her, as if she didn't want to hear what Ye Jinsu had to say.
Ye Jinsu shut her mouth and followed Lady Shu out of the Supreme Peace Hall.
In fact, from the moment she entered the inner hall, her thoughts had started to become restless.
The Grand Princess had told her something that Ye Jinshu had been thinking about. She only thought about the scene in the inner hall and felt her heart clogging up.
Madam Shu had been accompanying Ye Jinsu the entire time. From start to finish, she had been paying sensitive attention to Ye Jinsu's emotional changes. Now, she was even more empathetic as she asked, "Does little sister feel that she's not used to it?"
Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.
To be fair, Ning Yunyin was right. They would ensure the child's safety.
With the Imperial Physician taking care of them, these kids would soon forget about the events of today.
However, Ye Jinxiu still felt extremely uncomfortable. She still felt uncomfortable with the ice-cold scene occurring before her eyes. The Grand Princess was making use of her child, as well as her mother's status. Ning Yunyin, on the other hand, was making use of his nieces and nephew.
The children love them so much...
Lady Shu looked at Ye Jinsu, and asked, "Sister, do you think that the Grand Princess is being too cold towards her children?"
Ye Jinxiu still didn't speak.
She understood that there were some things that were not only black but also white. The Grand Princess must have loved her children very much. Those children had all grown up very well by the Grand Princess's side. The way the Grand Princess looked at them during the banquet couldn't be faked.
However …
Madam Shu sighed. "All the children raised in the palace grow up like this."
"There is no such thing as being one-sided. As long as they are born, they will enter into this storm."
Ye Jinsu looked at Lady Shu in a daze, not knowing how to respond. Madam Shu was a few years older than her, but she was already in her early twenties. In the two years she had been married to Ning Yunquan, she had seen through many things.
"But …" Ye Jinsu hesitated and said, "But this is too cruel."
Ye Jinsu had no mother. Her concept of a mother only existed in her own wet nurse. She was so gentle, thinking of everything, that she could never do such a thing.
Mrs Shu looked at Ye Jinsu's eyes and sighed, lowering her head, "That's right, it's cruel."
"But this palace also has mothers who only care about their children."
Ye Jinsu's dimmed eyes lit up for a moment before she asked softly, "Who is it?"
Madam Shu smiled. "Sixteen's mother, but she's already dead."
Ye Jinsu widened her eyes as her pupils suddenly contracted. She suddenly thought of that story about Yun Fei and her childhood's Ning Yunyin. "I've heard the Grand Princess say that Yun Fei is a woman with an extremely good heart, and that she's very kind to her as well."
"Too bad she's dead."
Ye Jinsu couldn't help but take a step back, and her heart skipped a beat.
She thought of her wet nurse. She was a very good person, but she was also dead.
Lady Shu saw the panic in Ye Jinsu's eyes and smiled. She raised her head to look at her surroundings and said, "This palace is such a place. All the powers in this world are gathered here. Countless powers want to fight to the bitter end here."
"Brother, kinsman, father and son …" "They are all extremely weak."
"Do you like this place?" Mrs Shu suddenly looked at Ye Jinsu and asked.
Ye Jinxiu was stunned on the spot and regained her senses. She suddenly didn't understand why Lady Shu was saying all this to her.
Ye Jinsu didn't reply, but Lady Shu seemed to already know the answer. She smiled and said, "I don't like it either."
"But I like him." Madam Shu's tone of voice instantly turned gentle. Her gaze swept past Ye Jinsu and landed on her back, seemingly filled with boundless gentleness.
Ye Jinsu turned around in puzzlement and saw Ning Yungang standing in the middle of the hall, talking to Ning Yunyin.
Ye Jinsu felt as if she was struck in the heart. She turned her head to look at the Shu family, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Lady Shu smiled, her smile exceptionally gentle. "Don't judge him by his usual appearance. He's actually a bold and cautious person. When I first married him, I thought that with his personality, I would spend my time planning for him. "
"However, in reality, he has been planning for me the entire time."
