Chapter 104 Don't Want to Be a Widow
"Brother Yuqing, how are you?"
Princess Ling Zhao, who had escaped death, staggered towards him. Seeing him covered in blood, she ran forward worriedly, helped him up, and shouted, "Imperial Physician, quickly, call in the imperial physician."
Princess Lingzhao shouted anxiously with tears in her eyes.
Song Yuqing watched from afar as Shen Lingshu was carried sideways, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Brother Yu Qing!"
Princess Lingzhao shouted anxiously.
"younger sister."
Shen Lingshu was worried about her sister all the way back to the Zen room.
"Master, don't worry, my sister is fine and has fallen asleep now." Zhu Xin came forward. She had just finished making lotus pastry. When she heard that a wild boar had broken into the peach forest, her heart jumped out.
"That's good."
Shen Lingshu was relieved. While waiting for the imperial physician to come and treat her, Chu Cong had already lifted up her pants. When he saw her legs swollen like buns, his thick black eyebrows frowned.
"Hiss, it hurts." Shen Lingshu took a breath, half in pain, half pretending. She looked at Chu Cong with a weak face and said, "Your Highness, can you be gentler?"
She looked pitiful, her hair a little disheveled from her recent escape, shattering her beauty. Chu Cong raised his hand and hit her with a chestnut: "Playing the hero? Lure away the wild boar? Do you know that if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have become the wild boar's meal!"
Chu Cong still hasn't forgotten that when he saw Shen Lingshu handing the child to Qi Qing and leading the wild boar away, his heart almost jumped out.
"Ouch."
Shen Lingshu covered her forehead with her hands, her eyes red and slightly moist: "It's okay if I'm injured. Beibei is still so young. If she gets hurt, it will be terrible."
"and."
Shen Lingshu looked around and saw no outsiders. Then she whispered, "I suspect that the wild boar is coming for me."
"you?"
Chu Cong's eyes turned slightly cold. Could this not be an accident?
"Yes, the wild boar was running around recklessly. The guards had almost stopped it, but for some reason, the boar crashed into the tree house and became even more frantic. Finally, it came straight after me."
"After I put An An down, the wild boar came towards me. Doesn't Your Majesty find this strange?" Shen Lingshu was almost certain that someone was trying to harm her!
However, she could probably guess who wanted to harm her, it was either Shen Lingyi or Concubine Fang.
"Just rest and recover. I will not let go of anyone who hurt you."
Chu Cong's voice turned cold, and he immediately waved his hand and told Qing Wu to do the job.
"Master, why did you let go at that time?" Zhehua asked doubtfully after they entered the house. At that time, she looked at Qi Qing's actions. Such a small child, as long as Qi Qing took action, Concubine Shen's little daughter would definitely die!
"The child is innocent."
Qi Qing sat in the room in a daze. The scene in the lotus pond slowly surfaced in her mind. When she really made up her mind to kill and wanted to smother the baby...
The baby's eyes, like black grapes, looked at her with such innocence that she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"What a great opportunity."
There was regret in Zhehua's words.
Qi Qing turned around and cast a cold gaze at Zhehua. Zhehua immediately knelt down and pleaded, "This servant was wrong."
"If I am favored, I won't even let go of the life of a child. Then, who will let go of the child I give birth to in the future?" Qi Qing pursed her lips.
She likes to compete for favor and wants to be the best in everything, but she knows very well that there are some things that cannot be said.
"Keep this secret to yourself, or I'll find out and sell you out, along with your brother, parents and others." Qi Qing stared at Zhehua with a warning. If what happened just now got out, she would be finished!
"I swear I won't tell anyone." Zhehua raised her hand and swore, "If I tell anyone, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
When Concubine Fang came back from the lecture hall and learned that Shen Lingshu and the others had encountered a wild boar, she happened to run into a doctor coming to treat them. She said anxiously: "God bless you, Concubine Shen is blessed with a long life."
Concubine Fang looked at Shen Lingshu's feet, which were swollen like pig's trotters, and asked worriedly: "Is the child okay? How did he run into a wild boar?"
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine. It must be the blessing of the children's grandmother in heaven that Mingchu and Mingxi are safe." Shen Lingshu looked up. When she mentioned that the two children were safe, she clearly saw the shock that flashed in Concubine Fang's eyes.
"They are all safe and sound." Concubine Fang said with concern, looking relieved that Shen Lingshu and her daughter had escaped death. She said, "Your Highness, I have ordered someone to prepare some food to calm Concubine Shen."
"Yeah." Chu Cong turned around and looked at Concubine Fang and asked, "Why did Qi go out? Didn't I order her to copy the scriptures?"
"The yellow peaches from Lingtai Mountain are delicious. I have to accompany the Crown Princess and Prince Heng to attend a sutra lecture, so I can't spare the time. So I sent Concubine Qi to pick some yellow peaches and give some away. What happened? Did Concubine Qi make a mistake?"
Concubine Fang answered in surprise.
"Since Qi didn't go out on her own initiative, it's okay." Chu Cong sent Concubine Fang away. He learned from the imperial physician that Shen Lingshu was safe and sound after her leg was healed, so he felt relieved.
Chu Cong took the medicated oil and sent everyone in the room away.
"Your Highness, Zhuxin still needs to apply medicated oil to me." Shen Lingshu looked at Zhuxin's departing back with eager eyes. She couldn't rub it herself, right?
Chu Cong glanced at her, poured the medicated oil directly into his palm, and rubbed it back and forth.
A strong smell of medicinal oil hit her face, and Shen Lingshu exclaimed: “Prince, are you coming here in person?”
"How can Zhuxin rub it open with that little strength?" Chu Cong said as a matter of course. He grabbed her foot with one hand that was stained with medicated oil, and rubbed it hard with the other hand.
"ah……"
Shen Lingshu cried out subconsciously, her facial features squeezed together in pain. She bit her hand and looked at him with red eyes.
"Use force to rub it open and it will heal faster." Chu Cong looked at her pitiful appearance and his voice became a little gentler.
"But it hurts." Shen Lingshu bit her lip. Even if it was only a little painful, she had to act like she was in a lot of pain. That way, the prince would feel more pity for her for not fearing death for the sake of her child.
"You're afraid of this little pain, how dare you lead the wild boar away then?" Chu Cong didn't even use much force, but she cried out in pain. He looked at her with his ink-black eyes. Perhaps, only motherly love could make her, who was so afraid of pain, not afraid of even death?
"Father, please, you must save Brother Yuqing."
"He was kicked by the wild boar because of his daughter."
"Father, my daughter hasn't married yet and doesn't want to be a widow."
Princess Lingzhao's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.
