Chapter 237: Success
After years of being like mother and daughter, Cao Muxue saw the queen show such a sinister look for the first time. She was frightened and knelt on her knees.
"Aunt... I didn't, it was really just an accident." Cao Muxue explained in panic.
The queen lowered her eyes and glared at her like a venomous snake.
Cao Muxue felt a chill on her back and her scalp was tense. She said truthfully: "I just wanted to kill two birds with one stone, let the princess of Jing who was hit by Hao Lin miscarry, so that the king of Jing would hate Xie Wanruo, and then use the king of Jing to deal with her and the Xie family."
Xie Wanruo's miscarriage was really an accident.
After all, no matter how good Cao Muxue was at calculating, she couldn't make Xie Wanruo stand behind Jiang Shu obediently and save Jiang Shu regardless of herself.
Xie Wanruo's proximity to Jiang Shu was a coincidence, and saving Jiang Shu at the cost of her own life was a mother's instinct.
Without Xie Wanruo's selfless act, Jiang Shu would have miscarried tonight. Yu Haolin, the culprit, must be blamed.
Once Yu Zheng investigates, Xie Wanruo and the Xie family will do their best to protect Yu Haolin, so they will confront Yu Zheng openly and fight to the death.
In this way, they can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When the Xie family and Yu Zheng are both injured in the fight, the Cao family will take action and easily solve the two big troubles.
"Hmph, wishful thinking. Prince Jing and Prime Minister Xie are not as stupid as you think." Although the queen said so, she thought this plan was very good in her heart, and her anger was reduced a little.
If this plan succeeds, the result will not be as perfect as Cao Muxue thought, but it can indeed let Yu Zheng and the Xie family fight, and lose some vitality, so that the Cao family can reap the benefits.
It's a pity that Xie Wanruo broke this game.
The queen felt a little regretful, but Cao Muxue felt fortunate.
Compared with Jiang Shu, Xie Wanruo is her real rival.
Now Xie Wanruo not only miscarried, but also can't get pregnant again. It's really God's help for her.
Seeing the unconcealed joy on Cao Muxue's face, the queen warned coldly: "You'd better behave yourself these days, otherwise if Cheng'er finds out, I can't help you."
No one can control the estrangement between husband and wife, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.
"Yes, I will remember your mother's teachings." Cao Muxue agreed, pinching her hands, and finally asked: "Then Princess Jing..."
"The opportunity has been lost, don't act rashly again." The queen was gloomy, thinking.
If you act too hastily, you will end up making things worse.
"Yes, I will listen to you, aunt." Cao Muxue replied obediently.
"Get up." The queen glanced at her and said nothing.
After all, they are of the same blood and have the same blood. Although the queen was angry, she could understand. Moreover, if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer. She couldn't mess up and give others an opportunity to take advantage of her.
The night was chilly and cold to the bone.
Jiang Shu leaned in Yu Zheng's arms, still feeling frightened.
After the carriage returned to the palace, Yu Zheng helped Jiang Shu get off the car and found that her legs and feet were weak. Her heart suddenly ached, and he picked her up gently .
It was no wonder that Jiang Shu was timid. She was too scared and cared too much about the baby in her belly. The child was just a little bit away from her.
While she was feeling lucky, she thought of Xie Wanruo again.
At that critical moment, she didn't know how determined Xie Wanruo was to protect her with her own body and exchange her child for hers.
No matter what, she still owed Xie Wanruo a favor.
Jiang Shu leaned in Yu Zheng's arms, feeling depressed and speechless.
Back at the main courtyard, Chu Yu and the others were all shocked to see Jiang Shu in such a state.
"What happened to the princess?"
Yu Zheng ordered as he entered the room, "Go and ask Dr. Fang."
"Yes." Tan Yu left in a hurry.
Yu Zheng gently put Jiang Shu on the couch, took off her pearl crown, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.
After doing all this, Yu Zheng wanted to get up and wash his hands.
However, as soon as he moved, Jiang Shu grabbed his hand in panic and said softly, "Husband, don't go."
Knowing that she was scared tonight, Yu Zheng said gently, "Okay, I won't go."
Yu Zheng sat back and asked Chu Yu to bring a basin of water to wash his hands.
"Prince, princess." Fang Nanxing entered the room and greeted.
Yu Zheng said, "The princess has been frightened. Let's see if there is anything wrong."
"Yes." Fang Nanxing heard this and went to the soft couch to check Jiang Shu's pulse carefully.
After repeated examinations, Fang Nanxing said respectfully, "The princess's pregnancy is stable, but she is a little frightened. Just drink a bowl of calming soup and have a good sleep."
Yu Zheng's anxious heart was relieved, and he said in a serious voice, "Get it quickly."
Fang Nanxing agreed and hurried to get the medicine to boil the soup.
Chu Yu and others were waiting on the side. Seeing that the two looked wrong, they dared not ask anything, and they dared not get angry.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat Yuanxiao?" Yu Zheng asked Jiang Shu softly.
Jiang Shu shook her head, looking listless: "I don't want to eat, I want to sleep."
"Okay." Yu Zheng told Chu Yu and others to prepare pajamas and hot water, and took Jiang Shu to the bathroom to take a bath.
Jiang Shu didn't want to move at all, and leaned limply on Yu Zheng, allowing Yu Zheng to wash her, dry her, and dress her.
After everything was done, Yu Zheng carried Jiang Shu to the bed, and Fang Nanxing brought her a soothing soup.
Yu Zheng blew it warm and fed it to Jiang Shu, then put down the bed curtain and held her to rest.
In the silent darkness, Jiang Shu curled up in Yu Zheng's arms, only in this way could she feel at ease.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yu Zheng stroked Jiang Shu's back and soothed her gently.
Seeing Jiang Shu being knocked down in front of him, Yu Zheng was shocked. At that moment, Yu Zheng really wanted to kill someone.
Fortunately, fortunately, they and their son were safe.
Yu Zheng hugged Jiang Shu carefully, feeling a sense of panic as if he had lost and regained something. He wanted to hug her tighter, but was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
"Husband, was it really just an accident?" Jiang Shu leaned on Yu Zheng's chest, her voice muffled and full of doubts.
If it was an accident, it was too coincidental. If it was man-made, the means were really clever.
Yu Zheng whispered, "Don't think too much, I will find out."
What happened tonight was too strange, and Yu Zheng would not believe it easily.
If he finds out that someone did it intentionally, he will make him pay a terrible price for it.
However, the children involved in this matter are too young, so it is quite difficult to investigate.
But no matter how difficult it is, Yu Zheng will find out clearly!
Whoever dares to harm his children, he will not let go.
"Go to sleep, it won't happen again." Yu Zheng kissed Jiang Shu on the forehead lightly.
With today's experience, he will be more careful in the future and will never let Jiang Shu have any accidents again.
Jiang Shu snuggled tightly in Yu Zheng's arms, wrapped in Yu Zheng's body temperature, listening to Yu Zheng's steady heartbeat, and slowly fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Yu Zheng quietly got up and went to court.
Jiang Shu was sleeping soundly. Before leaving, Yu Zheng told Chu Yu: "I will be back later today. When the princess wakes up, serve her dinner. She doesn't have to wait for me."
What happened in the palace last night was not spread out. Everything was the same as usual during the morning court today.
However, Prime Minister Xie went to the East Palace after the court session, and Yu Zheng went to Zhongling Palace with the emperor.
Concubine Yu Gui had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Yu Zheng, she asked: "Are they mother and child okay?"
Yu Zheng nodded: "Don't worry, mother, Shu'er and the child are fine."
Concubine Yu Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor looked at Yu Zheng and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of what happened last night?"
