Chapter 98: Bald All Night
"My sister is carrying His Highness's first child, why would I want to harm him..."
Shen Ruolan had been silent since earlier, but now that she had proven her innocence, she choked out a sob. Her eyes, which had been restrained, finally welled up with tears.
My mother once said that tears shouldn't be shed casually.
Shedding tears for a man is a way to use him as a tool to kill someone else.
If a woman cries all day long, her husband will grow tired of her. She can only stay in her position for a long time if she uses her tears wisely.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanchao immediately stood up and embraced Shen Ruolan, angrily shouting at the two doctors, "Didn't you see that the concubine's hand is injured? Why aren't you bandaging it up right away?"
"Your Highness, Ruolan is alright. Perhaps I did something that caused my sister to misunderstand and get frightened. Right now, I should quickly brew another bowl of medicine to help with the pregnancy."
As she spoke, Shen Ruolan gently pushed Yu Yuanchao away.
"She's not that delicate or easily startled. She complained of feeling unwell last night, but she's perfectly fine here now."
Yu Yuanchao pulled her slender body back into his arms, feeling a growing dislike for Qingzhi.
"Your Highness...I..."
Qingzhi clutched her handkerchief, utterly speechless, and truly experienced the feeling of being schemed against.
She thought she was the mantis stalking the cicada, but little did she know that the cicada was the oriole unaware of her.
"Since the pregnancy is not yet stable, then just rest and recover. Just tell the servants what you want to eat."
"Why aren't you taking him back? He's making a fool of himself here!"
After saying that, Yu Yuanchao turned his back and didn't look at her again. With just one sentence, he confined her to her place.
Qingzhi was helped out by the servants, and a gust of cold wind blew in her face, making her shiver and wake up.
She couldn't defeat Shen Ruolan; the days ahead would likely be difficult.
For more than ten days in a row, Yu Yuanchao stayed in Shen Ruolan's courtyard, but he did not sleep alone, nor did he go to Qingzhi's place again.
Firstly, Qingzhi is pregnant and cannot enjoy the emperor's favor; secondly, she feels guilty towards Shen Ruolan, so this is a way of making amends.
Shen Ruolan was secretly anxious and took her pulse every few days, but her belly was uncooperative and there was still no sign of pregnancy.
Seeing that Yu Yuanchao was gradually losing interest and no longer staying in her courtyard every night, Shen Ruolan knew that it was time to start preparing for everything she had been secretly planning.
The days grew colder and colder, and finally the year came to an end.
Yuan Siyin lazily curled up on the chaise longue, reading by candlelight.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Father probably won't be able to come back this year.
She wrote to her father a few times intermittently, but he didn't know what to say. Each time he sent a letter back, he would stuff a grass rabbit into the envelope.
Clearly, no substantial breakthrough has been achieved in the craft.
A few days ago, on a whim, she wrote two lines on a piece of paper: "Father, if you don't come back soon, your daughter will miss her wedding."
—Yin'er.
Later, I thought it was inappropriate, since my father was stationed on the frontier for the sake of his people, so I gave up the idea and wrote a proper letter to inquire about his well-being.
Who knew that the bastard Si saw it, and while he smiled and agreed on the surface, he turned around and sent the original letter by carrier pigeon, delivering it to his father with the utmost urgency.
Then her father replied with incredible speed, and it was the very letter she was holding.
no!
Look at those two incredibly powerful characters, and the urgent exclamation mark.
They acted as if they were afraid she would get married.
Dear father, you have no idea how tarnished your daughter's reputation is. Anyway, you won't have to worry about finding a husband for the rest of your life.
Yuan Si clicked her tongue twice, not taking it to heart; it was just that Si Fangming's orchids had all gone bald overnight.
