"Princess Qianluo is sick?" Qin Nanjing paused while feeding Chaoxi rice porridge and meat paste, then turned to look at Yanzhu. "She was fine and wanted to have dinner with us last night. How did she suddenly get sick?"
"Uh..." Yan Zhu glanced at Rong Chaoxi and suppressed the corner of his mouth that was gradually rising. "I heard that he played with the young lady for an hour yesterday and developed a high fever that night."
"Her maidservant is not a very attentive person. She just discovered this morning that Princess Qianluo was delirious from the burns and had started talking nonsense."
Rong Chaoxi saw that the spoon that was about to reach his mouth suddenly stopped, opened his mouth, stretched his neck, and took the initiative to look for the spoon.
Qin Nanjing turned the hand holding the spoon, and the little guy bit into nothing.
"Then quickly ask the court doctor to take a look. After all, she is a guest, and we can't let anything happen to her in the house."
Qin Nanjing pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "I'd better go there myself. After all, she's a princess of a country, and we can't let people say we're neglecting her."
Qin Nanjing put the spoon into the bowl, and Rong Chaoxi found nothing again.
"Food, food..." The little guy pouted in dissatisfaction.
…
Tinglan Garden.
In the master bedroom, Qian Luo was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead.
She slept very uneasily, biting her lips with her teeth, making her already pale lips even paler.
Qianluo seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.
"Mother, Mother..."
A little girl was running in the snow, holding something wrapped in oil paper in her hand, with wisps of hot steam coming out of it.
There were a few bruises on her tender face, but it did not affect the joy in her heart at all.
"Qianluo... cough cough cough..." The haggard and thin woman in the room came to the door wearing a coat.
Seeing the oil-paper bag in Xiao Qianluo's hand and the bruises on her face, his brows slowly furrowed, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
"You went to fight them again?"
Xiao Qianluo avoided Shupin's gaze slightly and did not answer her.
She walked into the house, put the oil paper package on the table and opened it. The fragrant smell of roasted chicken wafted out.
Xiao Qianluo swallowed a few times and resisted the urge to eat first.
"Mother, come and eat something. You haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Xiao Qianluo took Shupin to the table and sat down, then tore off a chicken leg and put it in her hand.
Then he licked his greasy fingers and stared at the roast chicken on the table.
Shupin sighed softly and put the chicken leg in Xiao Qianluo's hand, "You eat it."
"No, mother, please eat first." Xiao Qianluo refused reluctantly.
"There are two chicken legs here, let's eat them together." As she said that, Shupin tore off the other chicken leg.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, their eyes filled with warm smiles.
Bang--
The old door with peeling dark red paint was kicked open by someone.
With a clang, one of the doors could not bear the weight and broke away from the frame and fell to the ground.
"Qianluo, get out here!"
A violent roar came from the gate.
Xiao Qianluo hurriedly put the roast chicken away and hid it in the drawer.
Shupin frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.
She stood up and opened the door, only to see the dilapidated courtyard covered in snow surrounded by a dozen palace servants.
The pretty woman in gorgeous clothes standing in the center with an angry face is the most favored concubine Miao recently.
When Concubine Miao saw Qianluo hiding behind Concubine Shu, she instantly became furious.
"Drag Qianluo out to me!"
As soon as the voice fell, four or five palace maids rushed forward, pulled Shupin away, and dragged Xiao Qianluo out.
"Bring me the stick, I want to do it myself!" Concubine Miao looked at Qianluo with anger in her eyes.
"Let me go, let me go..." Xiao Qianluo struggled desperately.
But her small body was no match for two adults.
She was pushed down and made to kneel in front of Concubine Miao.
Xiao Qianluo looked up and stared at Miao Fei, her eyes full of defiance and viciousness.
"Qianluo... Concubine Miao, don't go too far! Ahem... Ahem..." Concubine Shu suppressed her physical discomfort and glared at Concubine Miao. "You've already won, why won't you let go of even a child!?"
After growling these words, Shupin's face turned even paler.
"Am I going too far? Hahaha..." Concubine Miao seemed to have heard something funny and burst into laughter, but her chestnut eyes were full of grief.
"Shu Ying! When you fought with the Queen and killed my son, you knew you were going too far!" Concubine Miao cast a cold glance at Qian Luo, who was kneeling before her with a vicious look in her eyes. "Your daughter knew you were going too far when she pushed my daughter into the lake!"
Miao Fei roared angrily, her eyes red.
If she hadn't had a sudden heart palpitation today, her only child would have died in the icy lake.
Such a young child was so vicious. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let her go!
Miao Fei could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and she raised the long stick in her hand, which was as thick as her calf, and hit Qian Luo hard on the back.
“Hmm…”
A muffled groan came from behind Xiao Qianluo, and Shupin blocked the stick for Qianluo.
The palace maids wanted to pull Shupin away, but she held Xiao Qianluo tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
"Alright! Since you don't want to live anymore, I'll grant your wish!" Concubine Miao threw the stick to the palace servant, "Beat them hard for me!"
Bang, bang, bang...
The long stick fell down again and again.
The sky gradually darkened, and snowflakes drifted in the air, dancing in the breeze.
"Mother, mother... wake up, mother." Xiao Qianluo hugged Shupin, who was covered in blood, and cried with a hoarse voice.
The tears fell on the snow stained with blood and disappeared without a trace.
