Chapter 1252: Chapter 9: The Emperor Turned into a Dog

"Your Majesty, the Princess is fine, it’s just Happy’s blood. It was Consort Shu who ordered someone to kick it." Lianhua hurriedly explained.

"Go... call the Imperial Physician." The Empress, hearing Lianhua’s words, furrowed her brows, a feeling of helplessness and a tinge of desolation welling up inside her. It was all her fault for being useless, allowing her daughter to be wronged like this.

Lianhua hurried off to call the Imperial Physician.

The Princess clutched Happy tightly, refusing to let go, and cried to the Empress, "Mother, what did Happy do wrong? Why does Consort Shu have to treat Happy this way?"

"No, Happy did nothing wrong." The Empress gently touched the Princess’s head, speaking softly.

"Then did I do something wrong to have implicated Happy?" The Princess sobbed, gasping for breath, and asked again.

No! You did nothing wrong, nothing! The Emperor vaguely heard the conversation between the Princess and the Empress, and for the first time, a sour and heartache feeling arose in his heart. It was my fault, it was I who let you suffer.

"No, Happy did nothing wrong, it was mother’s fault." The Empress spoke softly, "It’s mother’s fault, mother did not protect you well."

"No, no, it wasn’t mother’s fault." The Princess shook her head, tears flowing more fiercely.

"Come, let’s put Happy down, place Happy on a soft mat, and wait for the Imperial Physician to treat Happy. Happy will not die." The Empress comforted, "Wan’er, stop crying, if you cry, Happy will feel uncomfortable too."

"Then I won’t cry, won’t cry anymore, may Happy get better soon." The Princess wiped her tears, but there was Happy’s blood on her hands, and now it was on her face as well, making the Empress’s heart ache even more.

The Princess gently placed the puppy on the soft mat, then stared intently at the dying puppy, trying hard to hold back her tears.

The Imperial Physician soon arrived, although the Empress was not favored, she was the Empress after all, and under the Empress Dowager’s care, no one in the palace dared to neglect them.

After a brief examination, the Imperial Physician shook his head.

"The bones are broken, spleen bleeding, Your Majesty, I’m powerless." The Imperial Physician spoke frankly.

"Do your best, prescribe medicine, and bandage it." The Empress sighed.

The Princess looked at the Empress, sobbing, "Mother, will Happy die? Can even the Imperial Physician not save it?"

"No." The Empress comforted the Princess, "If Happy tries hard, it should be able to survive."

"Happy, you have to try hard, don’t die." The Princess, hearing the Empress’s words, turned to speak to Happy, who had its eyes closed.

I... I’ll try...

The Emperor thought this last thought, then closed his eyes and completely fainted.

The Princess stayed by the puppy’s side, watching the Imperial Physician bandage the puppy, watching Lianhua feed the puppy medicine, not knowing how many times she cried. It was not until late at night that she fell asleep with tear stains still on her face.

The next day, she did not go to the Empress Dowager’s palace to pay respects. The Empress Dowager sent someone to inquire, and then she learned of the incident. The Empress Dowager immediately issued an edict, instructing Consort Shu to rest well in her palace, for the sake of the dragon fetus in her belly, and to avoid going out to prevent being disturbed. The words were like that, but everyone could see that the Empress Dowager was venting her anger for the Princess’s sake, strengthening Consort Shu.

Consort Shu, angry, smashed several porcelains in her palace. In her heart, she cursed the Empress Dowager as an old hag, just you wait and see.

After venting her anger, Consort Shu slowly calmed down and remembered another very important matter. Where is the Emperor? The Emperor has been ill for several days, why hasn’t he recovered? Why hasn’t anyone been sent to say anything? It’s a bit unusual.
