"Nonsense! This is the Eighth Princess's courtyard where she is to be married. How dare you come here to investigate a case? If you disturb the Eighth Princess, no one can bear the consequences!" Su Jing shouted angrily.
The steward said with a bitter face, "Princess, that's what I said too, but the Prince of Zhennan refuses to leave. He's with a lot of people guarding the courtyard gate, saying that if he doesn't give an explanation, the princess can forget about getting married smoothly tomorrow."
Princess Lian'an's breathing quickened upon hearing this: "Let's go, let's go see!"
The Prince of Zhennan stood outside the door with a gloomy face, making the Prefect of Jingzhao seem somewhat timid. As soon as the door opened, Princess Lian'an's charming face showed anger: "How dare you cause trouble in front of my door? Do you even respect the Eighth Prince?"
Prince Zhennan glanced at Princess Lian'an: "Princess, please calm down. I am here today only to verify some things and will not disturb you for too long."
"Outrageous!" Princess Lian'an exclaimed in displeasure, "How dare you search my courtyard as you please?"
Seeing that reasoning with him was ineffective, the Prince of Zhennan ran out of patience. The Prince of Zhennan's mansion was now tarnished, and he couldn't care less about that.
Someone has to step forward and give an explanation.
"Go and invite the Prince!" Princess Lian'an ordered.
The servants quickly mounted their horses.
Zhennan Wangchao gave a wink to the guards behind him, signaling someone to intercept them.
"Today, Princess Zhennan returned to the manor. Only the princess's carriage passed through the south gate of the city. I merely wish to inquire whether anyone noticed anything unusual and whether anyone had seen Princess Zhennan. That is all," said Prince Zhennan.
Princess Lian'an raised an eyebrow. The Princess Consort of Zhennan has returned?
She said irritably, "The person was kept by the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. If you want an explanation, you should go to the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, not make a scene here."
Everyone present knew the truth of the matter.
Who kidnapped the person, and who released them?
Princess Jia Hua was deliberately trying to disgust people.
“Princess, you can’t make such statements without evidence. I have already checked and found that no one from the Princess’s residence or the Duke of Jingguo’s residence left the city today. Only the Eighth Prince’s carriage left from the south of the city,” the Prefect of the Capital added.
Princess Lian'an's almond-shaped eyes widened, and suddenly she felt a little short of breath. A warm current surged through her lower body, accompanied by a slight pain.
Princess Lian'an's expression changed drastically; "Su Jing, quick, help me back and fetch the imperial physician!"
Everyone was startled by Princess Lian'an's actions.
The Prince of Zhennan noticed the bloodstains on her skirt, frowned, cursed, and turned to leave. The Prefect of the Capital hurriedly followed, wanting to accompany her to investigate the case.
"Princess?" Su Jing was terrified.
This is the fifth time I've bled, and this time the bleeding is even worse than before.
After the imperial physician arrived, he diagnosed the situation and said, "The princess has had a miscarriage today. She must not move around too much for the next three to five days, otherwise she is very likely to miscarry."
"How can that be? I'm getting married tomorrow!" Princess Lian'an exclaimed anxiously, grabbing the imperial physician's sleeve. "I don't care what method you use, you must save the child and not delay the wedding tomorrow."
"This..." The imperial physician looked troubled.
The fetus is already showing signs of decline. If the baby rests, it might be able to be saved, but if the baby goes through with tomorrow's wedding, there's a 90% chance it won't survive.
