Chapter 200 Xiao Yan: He suddenly missed his little girl
The baby in Princess Cheng's belly was not saved after all. Gu Helian cursed loudly, but when she saw the basins of blood being brought out, her face turned pale.
He was already injured from being shot by an arrow, but he refused to leave and squatted in front of Rong Yue's door for half the night. His colorful peacock-like clothes were wrinkled and he looked haggard.
Tang Ning also stayed with Princess Cheng until dawn when she slowly woke up. The first thing she did after waking up was to ask about the child.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Princess, the deceased is gone..."
"I just want to know if it's a boy or a girl."
Princess Cheng's lips were frighteningly pale. She reached out and placed her hand on her completely flat belly, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "After all, it stayed in my belly for four months. Even if I miscarry it, I still need to know what it must have looked like when it was alive."
Doctor Sun couldn't help but look at Tang Ning. Seeing that she didn't stop him, he reluctantly whispered, "Madam Qin handled it for you. I only took a look. Although the child is already formed, I can't tell the gender. However, judging by the pubic bone and your pulse, it should be a boy."
Princess Cheng reached out and clenched the quilt.
"Aunt." Tang Ning walked forward with some concern.
Princess Cheng looked up with a pale face: "Fortunately, he didn't survive..."
Fortunately he is gone.
When she spoke softly, her voice was extremely hoarse. She quickly lowered her eyes as if trying to hide her embarrassment, but the mist in her eyes could not be swallowed back, and instead it hurt her internal organs.
Tang Ning held her hand and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything for a long time. She didn't know how to comfort Princess Cheng in this situation, nor did she know what to say to make her less sad. She could only put her arm around her shoulders, lean forward and hug her gently.
Gu Helian, who was hiding outside the door, heard the suppressed sobbing coming from inside. With red eyes, he kicked the wall fiercely and gritted his teeth.
"Son of a bitch!!"
Princess Cheng's miscarriage was extremely harmful to her health. She cried for a while and then fell asleep again. After instructing Hua Wu to take care of Princess Cheng personally, Tang Ning withdrew with Doctor Sun.
"How is Rong Yue?" Gu Helian lowered her voice.
Doctor Sun whispered, "The princess suffered physical harm from the abortion this time. Other things are fine, but the incident with Prince Cheng's mansion and Prince Xie is probably weighing heavily on her mind. If she can't handle it mentally, her body won't be able to recover either. We need to find a way to help her resolve this."
Gu Helian's face turned very ugly when he heard this. Not to mention Rong Yue, even he hasn't digested what happened in Prince Cheng's Mansion tonight. Rong Yue may not care that much about Xie Tianyu's mess. The key is Nanny Jiang and Xie Yin.
One was her closest wet nurse, and the other was her own son whom she had loved for many years. But now the one who had betrayed her had betrayed her, and the son had become fake.
How could this make her happy?
Tang Ning stood aside, watching the extremely depressed Gu Helian, and suddenly said, "Doctor Sun, is it time to deal with the abortion of the child by my aunt?"
Doctor Sun nodded: "We haven't had time to find a place to stay yet..."
Tang Ning said: "Leave it to me."
Doctor Sun was stunned for a moment: "County Princess?"
He wanted to say that the thing was bloody and scary, and it was not auspicious to drop it like this, so he thought it would be better to just find a place to bury it. However, seeing Tang Ning's unusually quiet eyes, and seeing that there was no warmth in her dark eyes, he did not dare to ask more questions and quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will have someone bring it to you later."
After Doctor Sun left, Tang Ning looked at Gu Helian and said, "Uncle Gu, you are injured and have been up all night. It's time to rest."
Gu Helian opened her mouth to speak when she heard Tang Ning say, "I'm worried about my aunt. When she wakes up next time and she's emotionally unstable, she'll need someone to accompany her. But I have other things to do. Could you please, Uncle Gu, look after my aunt for me and let her stay in the west wing of this courtyard for the time being?"
Gu Helian: "..." The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back. He said, "Since you've asked, I'll reluctantly stay for a few days."
Tang Ning didn't care that he was trying to save face: "Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Gu Helian coughed, her thick skin still not fully developed. With a slightly blushing face, she changed the subject: "By the way, why did you ask Imperial Doctor Sun about that dead fetus?"
"Nature sends him to where he should go."
There is no reason why my aunt should be so sad while some people can stay in prison safely.
Xie Tianyu's actions made Tang Ning hate him extremely, and also made her have dark and vicious thoughts for the first time. She wanted Xie Tianyu to see with his own eyes the evil he had committed, and let him see with his own eyes the flesh and blood he had killed. Doesn't he not care about these things?
She wanted to see if he was really that heartless!
…
Xiao Yan settled the Grand Empress Dowager and watched Madam Qin give her acupuncture. The old woman lay on the bed with her eyes closed and had not woken up yet. Her breathing was a little heavy, and she seemed to be in a nightmare. Her eyelids kept trembling, and she never had peace even when she was asleep.
"I've been intentionally controlling the Empress Dowager's hysteria. There are so many people watching in the palace, and she can't be too lucid, otherwise His Majesty won't tolerate her. Now that the Governor has brought her out, I'll try to give her acupuncture and medication. Although she still won't recognize people for a while, it won't get any worse."
After Madam Qin finished using the needle, the old man on the bed's breathing became smoother.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the person on the bed: "It's okay if she doesn't recognize me."
I'm afraid my great-grandmother wouldn't be able to recognize him in his current state, and waking up might not be a good thing for her. She might not be able to bear facing those things again.
"Just treat her slowly. As long as she is healthy and well, that's all that matters."
When Xiao Yan and Lady Qin came out, it was already bright outside. Jinyun came forward and told them that Queen Lu had gone to the Empress Dowager's palace.
"After the news from Prince Cheng's Mansion reached Fengxi Palace, there was no reaction from Empress Lu. She didn't send any letters to the court, nor did she behave unusually. She simply went to the Grand Empress Dowager's palace after daybreak. Lord Governor, were we wrong before?"
If Xie Yin was really related to Queen Lu, how could she sit still?
Xiao Yan looked at him when he heard this: "She didn't do anything?"
Jinyun shook his head: "No."
That would be interesting.
Xiao Yan twirled his fingers lightly, his brows slightly raised with a hint of thought.
Queen Lu did not take any action. Either she guessed wrong, and Xie Tianyu's affairs had nothing to do with her. She knew nothing about Xie Yin's life experience, so she was not afraid at all.
Otherwise, Empress Lu was certain that even if Xie Tianyu was convicted of treason and had no chance of survival, he would never betray her.
Xiao Yan glanced at the morning light that was already spreading across the horizon. The rising sun made it seem as if the violent storm of last night had never happened.
Empress Lu lived in the harem for many years. After Emperor An ascended the throne, Prince Cheng had difficulty entering the harem. If the two had any contact in the early years, they would not have dared to do so frequently. And after he returned to the palace to take over the palace security, the two of them would not have met in private more than five times, otherwise it would have been impossible to hide it from him.
In other words, even if these two people really had an affair, this affair would have long since become distant.
One is the Queen who has a husband and children and is high and mighty; the other is the princess who embraces her with affection and tenderness. Even if it is false, it may become true.
Why did Queen Lu think that Prince Cheng would remain steadfast and never betray her for decades?
Is she certain of Prince Cheng's "deep affection" for her, or is there something else that makes her so fearless?
Xiao Yan suddenly sneered. If he wasn't wrong, then Prince Cheng and the Queen were hiding something else. He said to Jinyun, "Continue to send people to monitor Fengxi Palace. Leave some people with Princess Huan as well. Also, find someone to poke a poke at the Fourth Prince."
The Queen can remain stable, but the Fourth Prince may not be.
If you dig a little deeper, you might find something interesting.
Jinyun nodded and agreed: "By the way, Governor, the girl sent something over and would like you to help deliver it to Prince Cheng."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Jinyun whispered something, and seeing Qin Niangzi's face full of surprise, he lowered his voice.
"Hang Li has already handed the item to someone in the mansion, saying that the girl instructed that it must be delivered to Prince Cheng personally, and that he open it with his own eyes. Lord Governor, this... should we deliver it?"
Xiao Yan had never expected that the crabapple flower in his house was covered with thorns. He still remembered that when he first met her, she was timid and scared, and would cry like a kitten when she was scared. Now she knows how to fight back.
"Since it's the lady's order, I must deliver it. Have someone pack it well and choose a good time, preferably late at night when everyone is asleep, so that King Cheng can be surprised."
Jinyun: “…”
Madam Qin: “…”
Are you sure it's a surprise?
Xiao Yan looked at the blossoming flowers not far away, and seemed to see Xiao Haitang's face with eyes wide open and pretending to be fierce. He suddenly missed his little girl.
