Yingxiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and nodded eagerly, saying, "Ever since that doctor diagnosed my daughter with a miscarriage, she has been taking medicine to regulate her body until a few days ago. And the appearance of these symptoms coincides with the time when she stopped taking the medicine!"
After the doctor left, Deng Shen hurriedly went to the pharmacy to get the medicinal herbs.
In the inn's backyard, Li Kui was carefully feeding the horses, while the butchers' guards had been moved elsewhere to rest. At this moment, only Yingxiang and Lingmo remained in the room.
Ling Mo gazed intently at Jiang Huaiyu's expression, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to begin. After a long silence, he sighed and said gently, "Miss Jiang, please rest well. If you need anything, just call me anytime. My residence is right across from yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gazed at her affectionately, then turned and left.
After a long silence, Jiang Huaiyu seemed to finally come to her senses, and she called softly, "Yingxiang?"
"Girl, I'm here."
Upon hearing the sound, Yingxiang immediately stepped forward and tightly grasped her hand.
Jiang Huaiyu's gaze finally returned to focus. She gave Yingxiang a weak smile, then looked down at her abdomen. "Yingxiang, he's still alive. My child is still alive."
With tears in her eyes, Yingxiang nodded. "That's right. The doctor said that you and our young master will both be safe and sound."
Jiang Huaiyu's eyes sparkled with happiness as she gently stroked her lower abdomen.
"I was wondering why my waistline had increased unusually recently. I thought it was because I was overeating. I never expected that it was because he was in my belly. This is wonderful. Yingxiang, the baby is still here. This means that I, as a mother, have not let him down. I should feel happy to have him back after losing him."
Her voice was soft and low, seemingly filled with endless joy, yet tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.
"But why did he deceive me..."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, her eyes filled with confusion, and she repeated, "The child is still here, why would he lie to me?"
Yingxiang's heart was filled with bitterness. "I've already asked the doctor, and he told me that the prescription Dr. Liang gave you wasn't for conditioning your body at all, but rather for preventing miscarriage. Therefore, it seems that the abortion medicine you took might..."
Jiang Huaiyu frowned, her face full of confusion. "Doctor Liang was arranged by Princess Ziyan. I firmly believe that he would not have any intention of harming me. But at that time, Princess Ziyan would never have shown me any mercy. Why would he take such a risk to help me?"
Yingxiang pondered for a moment, then said, "It must be that the young master and Doctor Liang had already conspired to do so in order to do so without anyone knowing, thus deceiving Princess Ziyan and ensuring the safety of the young master!"
After figuring all this out, her prejudice against Bai Yujing seemed to lessen.
Something's fishy.
Jiang Huaiyu gently shook her head, "Ever since I was abducted to the capital, Bai Yujing has been confined to the same room with me. Moreover, before Doctor Liang appeared, he was unaware that I was pregnant, so he probably didn't have the opportunity to arrange all of this."
"However, if it wasn't the young master's doing, then whose work could it be?"
Yingxiang frowned, puzzled, and said, "Young lady, do you remember what Dr. Liang asked me to convey to you? He said that the child you lost would return to your life in another form. Doesn't that foreshadow the good news that you've been diagnosed with pregnancy again today?"
"It is clear from this that Doctor Liang was fully aware of the inside story. And when he took your pulse for the last time, he was full of praise and extolled your virtues. From this, we can infer that you must also know the truth. So, if it wasn't you who meticulously planned all of this to protect your safety, who else could have accomplished it so skillfully?"
Jiang Huaiyu looked surprised. "But if it's him, why has he remained silent towards me all this time?"
"Young lady, please think it over carefully—"
Yingxiang explained in detail: "The Prince's mansion wields immense power, making it extremely difficult to conceal the truth under their watchful eyes. Let alone attempting to manipulate things under Princess Ziyan's close surveillance. If even the slightest flaw is revealed, wouldn't the young master's meticulous plan be ruined? Therefore, he deliberately remained silent, revealing nothing to you, so that Princess Ziyan would be convinced that you had indeed miscarried. And then the young master would feign estrangement from you and your husband, thus ensuring your true escape from danger."
“What you said makes sense.” Jiang Huaiyu nodded slightly.
“But…” A deep worry flashed in her eyes, “I always feel that things are far more complicated than that.”
She did not actually miscarry, meaning that the misunderstanding between her and Bai Yujing was completely unfounded.
So why did he risk his life to plead before the emperor, angering the emperor and causing himself to be neglected, only to regain the emperor's favor through the recommendation of the prince's mansion?
What was his motive for doing this?
Even if he had some unspeakable difficulties, he watched her heartbroken, fall seriously ill after the divorce, and leave the capital in despair, yet he remained unmoved and offered no explanation, not even a hint.
With her intelligence, how could she not understand his thoughts?
Jiang Huaiyu's doubts grew stronger; this matter seemed to be full of strangeness from the very beginning.
Princess Ziyan holds a prestigious position, so why is she so persistent in pursuing Bai Yujing, a poor scholar who is already married?
After the incident was exposed, the court and the public were shocked, but Prince Hao, who was hailed as a wise prince, seemed to be detached from the matter, allowing Princess Ziyan to take extreme measures to 'eliminate' the child in her womb. Did they not care at all about being infamous?
Furthermore, the Emperor was fully aware of all this, yet he turned a deaf ear to the impeachments from his officials and the protests from the people, taking no action whatsoever. Had his favoritism towards the Hao family reached such an extent?
The deeper Jiang Huaiyu pondered, the more suffocated he felt, as if an invisible, powerful hand was secretly manipulating everything.
"I must return to the capital and ask him personally to find out the truth," she said suddenly with determination.
"Return to the capital?"
Yingxiang was slightly taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded her, "Miss, please don't be impulsive. Don't forget that we are about to arrive in Jizhou. The doctor said that your body cannot withstand the arduous journey. It will take at least twenty days to get from here to the capital. How can you and the little master in your womb endure such a long journey?"
Jiang Huaiyu's eyes were piercing, and his tone was resolute: "No, I must find out the truth completely. I want him to tell me in person what really happened."
She had vowed that as long as he did not betray her, she would stay with him through life and death.
The child was still alive, so Bai Yujing did not abandon her or disregard the hatred for killing her child.
The reasons behind these events are unfathomable. If Bai Yujing is truly being controlled by others, then his current situation must be extremely dangerous. He has not let her and the child down, so she must not ignore him!
Jiang Huaiyu hurriedly got up, put on her shoes, and walked out quickly.
