Not only Xuan Yuanming, but even Xuan Yuanche's brows gradually furrowed: "When did this happen?"
The guard said, "I heard it has been going on for ten years, but it was only recently discovered."
The two brothers exchanged a glance.
No, it won't happen.
Xuan Yuanche thought to himself that Qing'er was kind-hearted and would never do such a thing.
It must be a coincidence!
Xuanyuan Ming also felt that Sister Qing'er was an upright person and would never do such a thing.
The two brothers ate the banquet as if it were tasteless.
A young eunuch came to Yunke: "The young lady is having a nightmare and refuses to take her medicine. Please go and take a look."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Ke jumped up and rushed out the door. Xuan Yuanming followed him out.
Several doctors were standing outside the house.
A group of maids looked anxious. When they saw Yunke coming, they all knelt down and kowtowed. Yunke walked in without turning his head.
Xuanyuan Ming stood at the door.
The sound of crying came from inside.
"Waaah, I won't drink it! You're all trying to ruin me!"
"cousin?"
"You need to take medicine if you are injured."
"No, no, cousin, I'm really fine. It's just a minor injury. Please let me leave. I promise I won't disturb your happy relationship with your wife."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xuanyuan Ming frowned. Why did those words sound so familiar?
He remembered that Sister Qing had also said that she was being harassed by the Second Prince's wife and cried and begged to leave Japan.
He also said he would absolutely not get involved with the two of them.
Finally, Sister Qing vomited blood, and her injuries became serious.
puff!
"The young lady has vomited blood!" came a cry of alarm.
"Help! Someone come quick!"
The room became chaotic.
Xuanyuanming watched helplessly as the person on the bed vomited blood while speaking and fainted in Yunke's arms. One hand was tightly gripping Yunke's sleeve, while the other hand was clutching a small object, which was not very clear from a distance.
Xuan Yuanche grabbed Xuan Yuanming: "What are you looking at? Let's go."
Once they reached a secluded spot, Xuan Yuanming touched the tip of his nose, a strange feeling spreading through his heart. He shook his head, convinced he was overthinking things.
Sister Qing isn't that kind of person!
...
The person happiest when the Japanese envoy arrived in the capital was Xu Lingqing. She had come to terms with it and realized that she wouldn't be so unlucky; the child must be Zhao Zhiyan's.
With a hand resting on his lower abdomen and a smile playing on his lips, he said, "Don't worry, our backer will be here soon."
Zhao Zhiyan also came, bringing her favorite snacks.
Xu Lingqing picked up a piece, took two bites, and then put it down: "Your Highness, when will the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince arrive?"
"Tomorrow at the latest."
Xu Lingqing nodded and grasped Zhao Zhiyan's hand: "Your Highness, we must cherish this opportunity. I have done great favors for the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince, and they will certainly not abandon us. The Eastern Ying army is strong and powerful, and the Northern Chu dares not offend them. Some debts should be settled appropriately."
After enduring so much, isn't this the moment we've been waiting for?
The thought of trampling Song Yue under her feet brought a bright smile to her face, filled with anticipation.
She stood up and hugged Zhao Zhiyan's neck, whispering, "Your Highness, only I will wholeheartedly support you, and I believe that one day you will trample those who look down on us under your feet!"
During this period, Zhao Zhiyan forced himself to calm down every day and copied countless scriptures, because as long as he closed his eyes, he could recall the days when he was humiliated.
"It's my fault for not being ruthless enough, causing you to suffer and leading to your mother's death." Zhao Zhiyan's eyes reddened as he secretly vowed to take back everything he had lost.
Zhao Zhiyan reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, wanting to get closer, but Xu Lingqing suddenly remembered the map on her back. She pushed him away uncomfortably and whispered, "The child is too young."
Zhao Zhiyan snapped out of her daze, looking guilty, and loosened her grip.
In the name of the child, she sent Zhao Zhiyan to the study, leaving her alone on the couch in a daze, a smile playing on her lips, fantasizing about how to humiliate Song Yue and how she would beg for mercy!
"Song Yue! I will repay you tenfold for the pain you inflicted on me!"
Perhaps she was too excited, because she couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, he got up early, summoned his maid to wash up, changed into a new dress, and then, after a moment's thought, rummaged through his chest and found a faded dark blue jacket to put on.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" the maid asked, puzzled.
Xu Lingqing snorted: "You don't understand."
Today, the two brothers, Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Ming, are coming to the capital city. They will definitely come to see her. The more miserable her life is, the angrier they will be.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Guards have withdrawn. The Crown Prince has sent someone to invite the Prince and Your Highness to the palace tonight."
The butler came to report.
Xu Lingqing asked excitedly, "Really?"
The steward nodded: "This old servant just went out for a special trip, and indeed no one stopped us. Yesterday, the Crown Prince personally went out of the city to welcome the two princes. They just arrived in the capital and stayed at the post station."
She couldn't wait to go and complain to the two of them.
But thinking that we'd meet that evening, I figured a little longer wouldn't hurt, so I decided to be patient.
The days can be quite unbearable.
She waited patiently until evening, and carefully applied her makeup. Her complexion was dull and lifeless, with dark blue under her eyes. Her skin was pale, and she looked extremely haggard.
Zhao Zhiyan was startled when he saw her: "What's wrong with you?"
"Perhaps he didn't get enough rest, Your Highness need not worry."
More than a month later, Xu Lingqing once again rode in a carriage to the palace, clutching the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
