"Sister, do you have anything else to say?" Shangguan Wanning looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao with sharp eyes.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and smiled coldly, seeming to be fearless.
"Sister, what do you want me to say?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao snorted, "Should we report this matter to the emperor and let him judge it?"
"you……"
This was the first time Shangguan Wanning was defeated by Shangguan Xiaoxiao after her rebirth.
She could investigate the matter at home in a high-profile manner, but she couldn't make it known to the palace.
Because her original intention was not pure. If she was caught by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
"Sister, I am doing this for your own good and for the sake of the entire Prime Minister's Office. If it is revealed later... it is very likely to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the peace of the border. If the war breaks out again, can you bear this responsibility?"
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts gradually calmed down, and she looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao with a strange look.
How could she come up with such a solution with her stupid brain? There must be someone behind the scenes directing her.
Who it is... is self-evident.
"So, I should thank my sister, right?"
"You're welcome, sister. We are all family, and we are all doing this for the good of this family." Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked up to Shangguan Wanning, leaned over and said in a low voice, "There is a long way to go, sister will definitely understand my good intentions."
"Of course. But I hope you can remember who knelt down and begged me to save you."
"I will never forget it. I will definitely not. One day, I will let my sister have a taste of what it feels like to beg on your knees."
After saying that, Shangguan Xiaoxiao turned around and prepared to leave. She angrily kicked Liu Ma a few times and shouted, "What are you still doing here? Come back with me."
Aunt Liu got up tremblingly and followed Shangguan Xiaoxiao cautiously.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's insults gradually faded away, and Shangguan Wanning waved her hand to dismiss the other servants.
"Miss, are you okay?" Lu Tong poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, comforting her, "Don't take it too seriously."
Shangguan Wanning smiled gently.
"I deserved it. How can I not take it personally? It seems like this ungrateful bastard is impossible to tame."
The mother and daughter took Shangguan Xiaoxiao's blood into consideration, so they brought her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rest for the pregnancy. Who knew that they were digging a hole for themselves.
No, she had to find a way to send Shangguan Xiaoxiao back to Prince Qin's Mansion as soon as possible.
Late at night, Shangguan Wanning had just fallen asleep when she heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Miss, please wake up... wake up..."
Shangguan Wanning hurriedly stood up, put on a coat and opened the door. "Lutong, what's going on?"
"Oh no! Someone from the Second Miss's courtyard just reported that she suddenly had severe abdominal pain and was bleeding..."
"How could this happen?" Shangguan Wanning was shocked, but she didn't feel very sorry for her sister.
However, Shangguan Xiaoxiao is pregnant with royal blood after all, so if anything goes wrong, they will also need to take responsibility.
"Have you sent for the imperial physician?"
"Yes. The master and the mistress asked you to ask Mr. Lu for help."
In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xiangzi ignored everyone except Shangguan Wanning and Sun Jinyao, including Shang Yang.
Shangguan Wanning reluctantly went to beg Lu Xiangzi, and when they came to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's villa together, they heard heart-wrenching wails coming from the room as soon as they entered the door.
Maids and nannies were busy going in and out, and the two imperial doctors present were sweating profusely, helpless.
"Please, Mr. Lu, take a look at my daughter." Shangguan Yue stepped forward and bowed.
Lu Xiangzi yawned lazily and came out again not long after he went in.
"Master, how is it?"
"Humph, she doesn't want me to treat her, so I can't do anything about it." Lu Xiangzi was driven out by Shangguan Xiaoxiao. He spread his hands and sat on a chair beside him to drink tea. "But, judging from her expression, if she doesn't let me treat her, the child will definitely die in a quarter of an hour."
This sentence made Shangguan Yue's face change.
He asked Mrs. Shangguan to go in and persuade Shangguan Xiaoxiao, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao simply refused to listen.
In her opinion, Lu Xiangzi and Shangguan Wanning were in the same group, so how could they really do good for her? Moreover, the emperor had already sent an experienced imperial physician.
"Get out!" Shangguan Xiaoxiao shouted weakly.
Mrs. Shangguan was helpless. Just as Lu Xiangzi had expected, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's baby was not saved. She fainted from the pain and lay on the bed, dying.
"Sir Shangguan, we really tried our best."
"Yes, in front of the emperor... please speak well of us."
The two imperial doctors were terrified and tremblingly apologized to Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue was a little annoyed, and suppressed his temper and asked: "Can you two diagnose why Xiaoxiao suddenly had a miscarriage? She was fine during the day. Her fetus has also stabilized..."
The two imperial doctors looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
"Why ask? Someone has set me up."
Lu Xiangzi's voice came from the other side. Shangguan Yue was shocked. He looked at the two doctors again and said, "Please tell me the truth."
"This old man is right. Based on our years of medical experience, the second young lady was indeed schemed against. Judging from her condition, someone tampered with her diet."
"Drug?" Madam Shangguan turned pale with fear. "How could it be? I have always been personally responsible for Xiaoxiao's meals. I have a special cook and helpers, and I have been extremely careful."
"We don't know about this."
This is an internal matter of the Shangguan family. How dare the imperial physician say anything?
"There is one more thing. I hope Lord Shangguan will be mentally prepared." The imperial physician looked into the room and said in a low voice, "After this incident, I'm afraid the second young lady will never be able to have children again."
Shangguan Wanning frowned slightly. This was a devastating blow to Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
She seemed to be thinking about something, and turned around to see Lu Xiangzi holding a handful of nuts in his hand, eating them while walking around the room, and pondering from time to time.
The next day at the morning court, Shangguan Yue reported to the emperor about Shangguan Xiaoxiao's miscarriage.
The emperor didn't react much, just said a few perfunctory words.
"Mom, you haven't slept all night. Go back and rest for a while. Your eyes are red from staying up all night."
Shangguan Wanning felt sorry for her mother, so she advised her to go back to her room. Even if she stayed by Shangguan Xiaoxiao's bedside for several days and nights, Shangguan Xiaoxiao would not appreciate it.
"Alas, Xiaoxiao is such a pitiful child. Her mother is gone, and if I don't take good care of her, she will really have no way to survive."
Madam Shangguan sighed and said, "I'm fine, you can go back. You two sisters have been at odds since childhood, and she might get upset when she wakes up and sees you."
