Chapter 126 Dead
"Quick, catch her!"
Zhu Xin only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and then Aunt Hua's voice rang out. Zhu Xin subconsciously blocked the figure!
"Who are you?"
Zhuxin looked at the maid she had caught, who was struggling violently.
Aunt Hua rushed forward, pushed the person to the ground, and stepped on her back: "Tell me, who sent you to harm Aunt Li?"
When the cat jumped out and frightened Aunt Li, Aunt Hua made sure that Aunt Li was not hurt, and then quietly chased the cat out.
Sure enough, this cat was not wild, but was secretly raised by a maid!
Aunt Hua chased all the way to the rockery beside Qixia Lake.
"She harmed Aunt Li?"
Zhu Xin was so shocked after hearing this that she grabbed her hand even tighter and said, "We must send him to the prince."
Now he is the housekeeper of her master. What if this person wants to slander her master?
Zhuxin's eyes moved, and he stared at the maid's face, trying to recognize her. However, there were so many maids in the palace. He could recognize the personal maids in each courtyard, but he couldn't recognize all the maids and old women who did the rough work.
"The two of us don't have enough strength, you call for help." Nanny Hua said, sitting on the maid's back, afraid that the man would run away.
"Someone come, someone come quickly!"
Zhu Xin's voice was heard, and soon, patrolling guards arrived.
Fontainebleau Courtyard.
"how?"
Chu Cong stared at Doctor Lin's face, wishing he could poke a hole in it.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Li's pregnancy is fine."
The prince's eyes were like knives. Doctor Lin quickly spoke up, "Madam Li was just frightened and had a miscarriage. She just needs to rest in bed and recuperate for the next few days."
"Kid, are you really okay?"
Li Susu asked anxiously, "But my stomach does feel a little uncomfortable."
"No problem." Doctor Lin said affirmatively.
Li Susu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed Chu Cong's clothes, fearing he would misunderstand her, and said, "Your Highness, I really am not feeling well, that's why..."
"Just focus on taking care of the baby and don't worry about anything else." Chu Cong helped her lie down and said, "Doctor Lin, prescribe some medicine to help Concubine Li take good care of the baby."
"yes."
Doctor Lin got up and started writing a prescription and preparing medicine to maintain the pregnancy.
Chu Cong stared at the maids in the room and warned them, "Serve Aunt Li well, or I will sell you off."
"yes."
Biyu and others responded one after another.
"Your Highness, I have caught the maid who released the cat."
Nanny Hua led the people into the house. When she saw Doctor Lin there, her eyes flashed and she said, "Your Highness, the maid has been caught."
"good."
Chu Cong said: "Bring the person in."
"yes."
Aunt Hua responded and immediately had the guards escort the maid over. When the maid saw Li Susu, she became very emotional and said, "Why don't you just die? You will get your comeuppance!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid slammed hard into the pillar next to her, blood splattered everywhere, and she fell to the ground instantly.
Doctor Lin immediately squatted down beside the maid, sniffed her breath, and said with a sullen face, "Your Highness is dead."
"Take him away, take him away."
Chu Cong frowned and asked someone to find out which courtyard this maid was from and who she usually interacted with.
"Your Majesty."
Li Susu was so scared that she huddled behind Chu Cong, muttering, "This maid has only been here for a few months, why does she hate me so much?"
"Master, it must be because she broke the bowl last time and you slapped her, so she holds a grudge against you." Cui Yu stepped forward and said.
"impossible."
Li Susu repeatedly shook her head in denial, quickly glancing at Chu Cong, fearing she would be misunderstood. She explained, "She fell towards me that day. I'm fine, but the child must not be harmed."
Li Susu gently stroked her belly.
"If you do something like this again, you will be expelled from the courtyard." Chu Cong's eyes were cold and fierce. He said soothingly: "It's late, go to sleep."
"Your Majesty."
Li Susu grabbed his clothes tightly and said, "I'm scared." Li Susu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and fear was revealed in her eyes.
"I will accompany you."
Chu Cong said this, and after sending the people away, he went straight to rest in Fengdan Courtyard.
Chu Cong looked at Li Susu's bulging belly, stretched out his hand, and remembered that when Shen Lingshu was pregnant, she seemed to like looking at her belly very much and liked talking to the baby in her belly.
Li Susu quickly covered her exposed belly and said embarrassedly, "Don't look, Your Majesty."
Her belly is big and ugly, and it has completely lost its former tightness. What if the prince sees it and dislikes her in the future?
Chu Cong extended his hand, turned it in another direction, patted her shoulder and said, "Go to sleep."
Youlan Courtyard.
"You said Aunt Li was frightened by the cat?"
Shen Lingshu asked: "How is the child? Have you gone to Fengdanyuan to ask about the situation?"
"I waited for the doctor the whole time and only came back after learning that Concubine Li and the child were fine." Zhu Xin said, then her face turned pale and she said, "That maid is dead."
"He died by hitting his head against a pillar."
Zhu Xin spoke carefully, "Is she really just holding a grudge against Concubine Li?"
"What do you think?"
Shen Lingshu did not answer but asked instead, needless to say, this maid was also the work of Concubine Fang, and she wanted to kill Concubine Li and the child.
She asked, "Who came to invite the prince just now?"
"Emerald."
Zhu Xin was just thinking about it and had a headache. When he heard her question, he asked quickly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Observe more in the future." Shen Lingshu smiled and said encouragingly.
"Actually, I feel that Cuiyu is someone who belongs to the concubine. Moreover, I feel that what happened today was also done by the concubine. However, I have no evidence, it's just a feeling."
Zhu Xin couldn't describe the feeling. She said, "When Concubine Li competes for favor, she never dares to do this. Could it be that because she's pregnant, she came directly to our courtyard to invite someone?"
"Why do you think Cuiyu is the concubine's person?" Shen Lingshu looked at her and asked. As her personal maid, she was careful and cautious, and kept her mouth shut, which was very good.
But sometimes, we are just too kind and haven’t seen too many secrets behind the house!!
Compared with the royal family, the little tricks of the Shen family are simply child's play.
"When Cui Yu started shouting just now, she was very brave, unlike her master."
Zhu Xin looked at Shen Lingshu embarrassedly, and then asked: "Master, is she really a concubine?"
"Pay more attention to everything, and you will find the answer."
Shen Lingshu did not give a definite answer. As her position improves in the future, Zhu Xin will need to train herself more.
The next day, Shen Lingshu had just arrived at Qiutang Courtyard to pay her respects when she ran into Li Susu. Li Susu apologized and said, "Concubine Shen, I'm sorry. I was frightened by a cat yesterday, so I went to your courtyard to invite the prince over."
"The prince was worried about me and the baby in my belly, so he didn't go to see Concubine Shen again." Li Susu said sorry, but the boasting in her eyes could not be hidden.
