Chapter 385 Change of Face
Being in the royal family, who would be the real little white rabbit?

When the Crown Princess heard this, although she wanted to be patient, she still showed her relief at surviving the disaster.

She turned around and looked behind her. She saw Li Xuan standing with Niu Niu, looking out from the house. The two children had the same curiosity on their faces, and they didn't notice anything wrong at all.

The Crown Princess asked the eunuchs who had sent the people back, "What will happen to the little white horse?"

A young eunuch who didn't know the Crown Prince's wife only said, "Your Excellency, we are just eunuchs serving at the horse farm. The little white horse suddenly went crazy today for some reason. The specific reason is still under investigation. As for how to deal with it, the general steward has already reported to His Majesty, and he dare not place it arbitrarily."

After hearing this, the Crown Princess did not ask any further questions.

These descendants of the Zong family had to practice riding and archery. Although they were all children, they all had their own little habits. Only a very small number of them used the bows and horses prepared by the palace.

For example, Li Xuan was a child who was loved at home and had already been given a special bow and horse.

Li Xuan's mount is a docile little white horse. It looks ordinary, but in fact, this horse comes from the border and is the descendant of a famous horse. It is of excellent breed and very expensive.

Li Xuan treasures this horse very much and is unwilling to let others ride it.

The Crown Prince's wife thought in her heart that if Li Xuan had not been accidentally bumped by Niu Niu, the person who was injured and had broken his limbs would probably be Li Xuan.

"Auntie!" Niu Niu suddenly shouted.

The Crown Prince's wife was stunned, and her expression became three points softer than before.

"Aunt, I'm going back to have lunch and will come back to see Brother Li Xuan." Niu Niu said.

Niu Niu has been out for a while. Usually this is her lunch time, but now she is a little hungry.

"Okay, you're so good. Be careful on your way back." The Crown Prince's wife reminded.

After watching the little girl's back disappear at the end of the palace road, the Crown Prince's wife turned around, took her son's hand and went back to the house, then drove the servants out.

"Mother?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.

The Crown Princess suddenly hugged her son tightly in her arms.

"You this time...you this time...it's all thanks to that little girl...if she hadn't bumped into you like that...you would be the one lying back now!" The Crown Prince's wife held her unharmed son in her arms, feeling that all her luck this year had probably been used up on this.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said, "Mother, do you think Xiaobai is going crazy because someone is plotting against me?"

The Crown Prince's Consort nodded and said, "If you hadn't had an accident earlier, would you have given Xiaobai to someone else during today's horse riding and archery class?"

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "They don't cherish horses as much as I do, and I am unwilling to lend Xiaobai to them."

Li Xuan had seen how other classmates whipped the horses hard, and he was reluctant to treat his beloved pony like that.

"So, even though you were injured by Niu Niu, you should thank Niu Niu for what happened today. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have just been injured." The Crown Prince's Consort sighed.

Although the Crown Prince's wife liked the cute little girl very much, as a mother, how could she feel good when she saw her son getting hurt?

I originally had some resentment towards Niu Niu, but now it has all disappeared.

"I have taken note of mother's teachings. The master once told us that a blessing in disguise may come from a loss." Li Xuan said. The Crown Princess has always been at ease with her youngest son. She gave birth to three sons. Although Li Xuan is the youngest, he is the most sensible one.

The other sons might have behaved in a naughty manner, but Li Xuan was different. This child looked very much like his grandfather who passed away early in life. He had a calm personality, was consistent in his words and deeds, and was quite a gentleman.

"Mother, my son was only slightly injured this time. You don't have to worry about him. Things are busy at home, so you should leave the palace early." Li Xuan took the initiative to say.

It had been less than half an hour since the Crown Princess entered the palace. Li Xuan urged her to leave because he didn't want her to get more deeply involved in the palace.

Li Xuan actually didn't know how deep the water in the palace was, but he instinctively wanted to protect his mother.

The Crown Princess shook her head and said, "Someone wants to plot against my son. How can I just leave the palace like that?"

Li Xuan looked at her with confusion.

The Crown Princess just blinked and tears instantly flowed down.

Li Xuan:?
Li Xuan almost thought he had seen it wrong.

The Crown Princess performed a face-changing show for her son on the spot and said, "My dear son, you must remember that everyone in this world has several faces."

After the Crown Princess said this, she turned around and ran out clutching her handkerchief, crying all the way to Shoukang Palace, shouting loudly inside:

"Empress Dowager, I beg you to take charge of my Xuan'er!"

In the room, the Queen Mother and Niu Niu were sitting at the table eating.

Although the Queen Mother knew that Niu Niu had injured someone, she did not take it seriously, thinking that it was just some minor scratches. Even though the children of the royal family were precious, the darling of Shoukang Palace was her favorite.

There is not much difference between the Empress Dowager and those old ladies in the folk who are partial to their own children.

At this time, she didn't know that the child had fallen off the horse. When she heard Prince Jing's wife making a noise outside, she frowned.

"My dear, didn't you say before that Prince Jing's wife had no intention of getting into a fight with you? What is she doing now?" the Queen Mother asked unhappily.

Niuniu shook her head: "That beautiful auntie was really nice to me. She hugged me and asked me many questions. She also said that it was not my fault that Brother Li Xuan was injured."

The Queen Mother frowned and gave a look to Nanny Sun, and finally let the Crown Prince's Consort enter the palace.

The Crown Prince's Consort was very efficient. As soon as she came in, she immediately knelt down and cried, "Empress Dowager, please help me! How could the little white horse go crazy for no reason? Someone must be plotting against my son! Please investigate this matter. If the black hand hiding in the dark is not found, I will not be at peace!"

As soon as Niu Niu came back, she was eager to eat. The Queen Mother didn't know that two accidents had happened in just this morning. The old lady looked very confused.

"The ponies at the horse farm went crazy, and a little boy broke his limbs." Niu Niu explained while eating.

At this time, Li Shunfu walked in hurriedly from outside. When he saw the Crown Princess kneeling in the main hall, his expression paused. Then he went to the Queen Mother and explained the whole cause and effect in detail.

The Queen Mother's first reaction was relief. She originally thought that the Crown Prince's Consort came to report Niu Niu, but she didn't expect it was for something else.

The Crown Prince's Consort cried and said to the Queen Mother, "My Queen Mother, originally everyone in the capital said that Miss Gu was a lucky star, and I thought it was just a joke, but now I dare not disbelieve it. If it weren't for the little girl from the Gu family, the half-dead person now would be my son!"
