Chapter 194 Save My Child

A strange, sweet fragrance lingered around my nose, seeping into my nostrils and filling my lungs, giving me a headache.

Li Nanke instinctively struggled to push away the hand, but the other person stood behind her, pressing down on her shoulder with one hand and covering her mouth and nose with the other.

She tried with all her might but couldn't push that hand away.

Moreover, her mouth and nose were covered at the same time, making it difficult for her to breathe, and her face turned slightly purple from suffocation.

In the struggle, she saw Zisu lying not far away, her eyes closed, but without any wounds on her body.

She was probably drugged as well.

This is in the palace. She is, after all, a daughter of a marquis. The other party shouldn't kill her, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Nanke rolled his eyes, made a helpless struggle gesture, and gradually loosened his grip.

Then he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other person removed the handkerchief from her mouth and nose, picked her up and put her on his shoulder, then opened the window and jumped out silently.

Li Nanke leaned on the other person's shoulder, head down, and quietly opened her eyes a tiny bit.

All that could be seen in the field of vision was a dark red color, with an ordinary leather belt around the waist and a copper buckle on it.

Looking closer, you see a pair of legs running at full speed, with black palace boots on their feet.

It seems that the one who drugged her was a eunuch.

Li Nanke felt dizzy and nauseous from being shaken around. Before he could react, he suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air.

The other person carried her through a window and then placed her on the cold, blue brick floor.

Li Nanke quickly closed her eyes, held her breath, and dared not move her hands or feet at all, for fear that the other party would see that she was faking fainting.

After a moment, a slight creaking sound was heard.

It was as if the window had been closed.

Li Nanke held her breath and waited for a moment. Only after confirming that there was no more movement in the room did she quietly open her eyes.

What comes into view are chairs scattered haphazardly, and a person lying next to one of the chairs.

A woman!

Most of his body was on the ground, with only his upper body hunched over and lying on the chair.

Because his back was turned, Li Nanke didn't recognize who it was.

She quickly got up from the ground and went to the chair. Only then could she see that the woman lying on the ground had furrowed brows and a face as white as a ghost.

"Shu Wanyi!"

She exclaimed in surprise, half-kneeling on the ground, and gently patted Shu Wanyi's arm.

"Your Highness, wake up!"

Shu Wanyi remained motionless and unresponsive.

Li Nanke thought for a moment, then reached out and pinched Shu Wanyi's philtrum hard with his fingernails.

"Um......"

Shu Wanyi groaned and slowly opened her eyes.

Li Nanke quickly released his grip and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Shu Wanyi frowned, her slender, pale hand clutching her stomach, letting out a painful murmur.

"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much!"

stomachache?

Could it be that Shu Wanyi, like her, also mistakenly drank the bacon fruit tea?

Li Nanke glanced at Shu Wanyi's skirt subconsciously, then his eyes widened in horror.

"Wan...Your Highness, you're bleeding!"

Shu Wanyi trembled and struggled to sit up straight and look down.

The pale white silk dress she wore today clearly showed a red dot peeking out from the fabric, which then quickly spread outwards.

The blood seeped through and stained the dress red.

In an instant, a bloodstain the size of a palm appeared on the skirt.

"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much!"

Shu Wanyi seemed to be in great pain, her body hunched over and curled up in a ball, with large beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.

She remembered something and grabbed Li Nanke's hand.

"My child, my child, please save my child!"

Li Nanke's eyes widened in surprise.

"The child? Your Highness, Wanyi..."

Large tears rolled down Shu Wanyi's face, and her pale lips trembled violently.

"I am pregnant with the dragon's offspring, and it has been more than two months. I... I dare not tell anyone, and I am protecting it carefully."

But... but my child still got infected! Please, my child, save him!

Shu Wanyi saw Li Nanke as her lifeline and held her hand tightly.

Li Nanke felt a chill run down her spine and bit her lip hard to calm herself down.

"I...I don't know medicine, how can I save him...Yes, find someone, Your Highness, wait here, I'll go find the imperial physician."

Li Nanke jumped up immediately and ran towards the door.

Splash!

She pulled hard on the door, but a loud crash came from outside.

The door was locked from the outside!

She stomped her feet and ran across the street to tiptoe to open the window.

Bang.

The windows couldn't be opened either; they had been sealed off from the outside.

She was somewhat panicked, her face pale as she looked at Shu Wanyi.

Shu Wanyi curled up on the ground, her hands covering her stomach, her face pressed against the cold blue bricks, tears streaming down her face, each drop landing on the bricks.

"It's no use. It seems someone is determined not to let me give birth to this child. We're not getting out of here today!"

She closed her eyes, a low growl of resentment escaping her throat.

"This is the third one! This is the third child I've conceived since giving birth to Zhaokang. I lost the first two."

I thought that as long as I was careful and cautious enough, I would definitely be able to save my child!

Shu Wanyi pounded the blue bricks with one hand, crying desperately and helplessly.

"I hid it very well, I was very careful in everything, I didn't dare to say a word or eat a single bite of food from outside."

Why were we still discovered? Why can't I bear the dragon's offspring?

"My child, it's my fault, my fault!"

Li Nanke gritted her teeth and ran back to Shu Wanyi's side.

"Your Highness, we can't give up like this! We're sure we can find a way!"

Shu Wanyi's eyes were lifeless.

"It's no use. Since they've made their move, they definitely won't let me keep my child. It's just a pity for you."

Shu Wanyi looked at her with tears in her eyes and a hint of pity in her gaze.

"You're still a child, and I'm going to drag you down with me because of the child in my womb!"

Li Nanke's face turned pale.

No wonder they put her and Shu Wanyi together; it turns out they wanted her to be the culprit for Shu Wanyi's miscarriage!

Li Nanke must not panic!

Think of a way quickly, there must be a way!

She clenched her fists, trying to force herself to calm down, when her hand suddenly touched the purse at her waist.

A sudden inspiration struck her. With trembling hands, she untied her purse, took out a glass bottle, and poured out the antidote pills inside.

"Your Highness, I have some antidote pills prescribed by a divine physician. They are said to be able to cure all poisons. Would you like some...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shu Wanyi snatched the pill from her hand, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it forcefully.

Li Nanke murmured, "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

Shu Wanyi wiped away her tears and gave a bitter smile.

"The worst that could happen is that both mother and child die, which is no different from what we are doing now. At least if we try, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Li Nanke had no idea whether Shu Wanyi had been poisoned or whether Gui Liu's medicine was effective, and he was very uneasy.

Just then, a flurry of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"This servant just saw Miss Li and Consort Shu enter this room together!"

Then came Empress Xue's voice, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go in to see if anyone is there?"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Li Nanke's heart was in his throat.
