Chapter 126 His Highness Promised the Crown Prince's Wife a Condition
Zhou Baili didn't believe that anyone would speak up for an ugly woman like Liu Mingyue. By then, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth!
Zhou Baili waited and waited, but Qin Zhuoyan never came to settle the score with Liu Mingyue. After a few days, she couldn't sit still, wondering why there was no news.
"Go to the ugly woman's yard and ask around. His Highness clearly wanted to cause trouble for her before, but how come nothing happened?" Zhou Baili called the nanny who was serving her and urged someone to go and get some information.
The people in Liu Mingyue's yard had already been completely subdued by her. As soon as Zhou Baili's people came over, Liu Mingyue knew what she was doing.
"Let her find out how the prince knows Ziyu. It seems that Zhou Baili has played a big role in fueling the situation."
Liu Mingyue's eyes were slightly cold. If that was the case, Zhou Baili must have been restless these days. Since she wanted to find out, let her find out. No one who stopped her would be able to find out anything.
The Marquis' Mansion was neither small nor big, it was just a small place, and the nanny soon came back with the news.
"To answer Auntie, His Highness went to the Crown Prince's wife's room a day ago, which is strange. I heard from the servants sweeping outside the yard that His Highness looked unhappy when he went there, so he must have gone there to call for punishment."
"Then what? Why was there no movement?" Zhou Baili asked impatiently.
Knowing that her master was anxious, the nanny quickly continued, "It's strange, too. Your Highness should have gone to cause trouble for the Crown Prince's Consort. It is said that they started arguing quite loudly, and the two of them gave up the dispute. But later, for some reason, Your Highness did not punish the Crown Prince's Consort and left."
Zhou Baili was anxious: "Besides this, didn't you find out anything else?"
The nanny shook her head and replied truthfully, saying that she had asked in detail but could not find out anything additional.
Zhou Baili was not satisfied with the news that the nanny had returned from her tea visit. When Tan Zhuoyan came back, she couldn't help but ask him, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort was unfaithful, why didn't you punish her?"
She asked casually, as if she was just curious and had no other thoughts.
Qin Zhuoyan took a sip of tea, snorted, and placed the teacup lightly on the table.
"The man involved with her is none other than the Divine Doctor Bai that I have been looking for. I don't care what the relationship between the Divine Doctor and Liu Mingyue is. I only care whether I can seize this opportunity to heal my legs."
When talking about her leg disease, Qin Zhuoyan looked at Zhou Baili meaningfully.
At first, Zhou Baili was hypocritical and flattering to him because of his lame legs. But after his legs were healed, he allowed her to take a concubine, so that Zhou Baili could have a taste of what it was like to stay alone.
At that time, Zhou Baili had already given birth to a child. After the child was born, he gave her the status of Crown Prince's Consort, which was already the most kind thing to do.
"I put pressure on her and asked her to ask the miracle doctor to treat my leg disease. Even if her mind is not on me, she is still the prince's consort of the Marquis's Mansion. I think she can still understand this clearly."
Tan Zhuoyan was very disdainful of Liu Mingyue. Now, she was just an orphan without any blood relatives. Apart from living a miserable life in the Marquis' Mansion, where else could she go?
There are still many days to come, and Qin Zhuoyan doesn't believe that Liu Mingyue is not afraid!
"That doctor turned out to be the genius doctor Bai Ziyu. How did she recognize him?" Zhou Baili clenched the handkerchief in her hand in shock. Why did Liu Mingyue always have so many adventures?
Liu Mingyue's previous marriage with the Marquis's Mansion was just a lucky coincidence, and now she has met Bai Ziyu, a man with a weird personality, who doesn't like to be close to others and is not afraid of power!
"It doesn't matter how she knew Bai Ziyu. I have given her a five-day deadline. After four days, she must give me an answer no matter what!" Qin Zhuoyan was sure that Liu Mingyue would not be able to play any tricks.
Zhou Baili's eyes were filled with emotion. She had never expected that the ugly woman could actually know Doctor Bai. Since she knew him, why didn't she introduce him to Tan Zhuoyan earlier to cure the prince's leg disease?
Scenes from the past flashed through her mind. Zhou Baili thought about how she had boasted in front of Liu Mingyue many times, but the other party was unmoved. It turned out that she was not pretending to be calm, but really did not care.
The indifference and calmness in Liu Mingyue's eyes were not fake. Zhou Baili lowered her head, hatred surging in her heart. She had tried her best to pretend to be close and loving with Tan Zhuoyan in front of Liu Mingyue, just to make her feel uncomfortable.
Now all signs show that Liu Mingyue not only doesn't care, but doesn't even take them seriously. No wonder Liu Mingyue always turned around and left in the past, is it because she is too lazy to waste time?
"I don't know what her relationship with the Divine Doctor is like. At a time like this, I really hope there is something between them. In this way, as long as Liu Mingyue is willing to ask, Divine Doctor Bai will most likely be willing to come."
The two people sitting opposite each other in the room had different thoughts. They each had their own ulterior motives and were not thinking the same thing at all.
Qin Zhuoyan muttered to himself, but he didn't know that Zhou Baili, who was sitting opposite him, didn't hear what he said.
Zhou Baili realized that Liu Mingyue really didn't like Tan Zhuoyan, and she felt ashamed and angry. She felt that she had lowered herself to please Tan Zhuoyan, a cripple, but Liu Mingyue didn't take her seriously at all.
This makes her seem inferior to Liu Mingyue.
"It is a great blessing that Divine Doctor Bai can cure your Highness's leg. He is currently in the capital. If your Highness tempts the Crown Princess with benefits, I think she will agree."
Zhou Baihe pretended to care and gave Tan Zhuoyan some advice to show her virtue.
"I have already promised to grant her some benefits, but she hasn't decided what to ask from me yet, so wait a minute." Qin Zhuoyan glanced at Zhou Baili's belly. Once his leg disease got better, that part would probably get better too.
As long as he recovers his normal health, his offspring will be only the baby in Zhou Baili's belly.
Ever since his legs became disabled, his father began to favor the people in the West Courtyard, going there more often and becoming dissatisfied with him as the Crown Prince.
If our dynasty did not easily allow the crown prince to be deposed, my father would have thought of replacing him a long time ago.
Tan Zhuoyan was only thinking about how her legs could get better soon so that she could avenge her previous shame. When Zhou Baihe heard that he had made a condition to Liu Mingyue, her heart skipped a beat.
"Your Highness has promised the Crown Prince's Consort some conditions? I am afraid that she will make some tricky demands."
Zhou Baili subconsciously protected her belly, fearing that Liu Mingyue would take advantage of the baby in her belly.
In large families, it is not uncommon for mistresses to adopt illegitimate children and raise them as their own. As the Crown Prince's wife with no children, Liu Mingyue might not have had this idea.
When the mistress wants to adopt a concubine's son, the concubine has no say. As long as the mistress asks, the concubine can only hand over the child.
