Chapter 819: Mother's Soothing_1

Concubine Ya was carried back to the Starlight Hall.

The Emperor followed her there as well.

After calming Lingzi down, Jiang Ning also wished to go check on Concubine Ya, but the Emperor stopped her.

The Emperor guiltily stroked Lingzi's head, speaking gently, "I apologize, today was grandpa Emperor's mistake that startled Lingzi. Princess Consort, you take her and comfort her well. You needn't visit Concubine Ya, let Lingzi rest well."

"Your command is acknowledged."

Jiang Ning held Lingzi, watching the Emperor's chubby figure hastily retreat.

Did Concubine Ya genuinely save Lingzi, or did she just want to attract the Emperor's concern?

This thought flashed briefly through Jiang Ning's mind, quickly interrupted by the children surrounding her.

"Lingzi, are you uncomfortable anywhere?" The emperor's eldest grandson asked, concerned, whilst holding his sister's hand.

"My bum hurts." Lingzi replied, her big eyes welling up with tears.
