Chapter 256: The fetus, I’m afraid…
Before she sent the letter to report, she must have drunk it. However, the dosage of this poison powder needs to be divided into seven days. She probably only drank one or two days' dosage. It would not kill her, but it was enough to make her suffer.
The princess felt as if her whole body was on fire, and the pain coming from the cracks between her bones made her sweat profusely.
Ruan Jiao continued to soothe him, "Madam, please bear with it for now. Once the medicine arrives, the pain will gradually subside. The dose of this poison you took is not high, and it won't be life-threatening."
"Then...then my child..."
"The fetus, I'm afraid..."
"No! Madam Ruan, you must protect my pregnancy. As long as you protect the baby for me, no matter what business you want to do, I can support you! !"
"Even if you want to return to Dajing, it's possible!"
Return to Dajing? At the critical moment, this princess really knows how to make promises for others.
In this life, if an exiled person returns to the capital without the emperor's personal summons, it will be a serious crime that will implicate all nine generations of his family.
How could she have the ability to make such a promise to herself? She was just saying it casually for her own selfish reasons.
It’s okay to fool other people, but Ruan Mian would never be fooled.
The princess's physical torture will take more than a day and a night to heal.
Even if I took medicine, it only provided a little relief.
It was already the next day when I completely got rid of the pain.
When the princess went to the toilet at night, she saw that she was bleeding and her face turned pale, and she immediately understood something.
It was that dancer. That dancer had poisoned her and taken away the child she had finally conceived! !
Unable to bear the resentment in her heart, she ran to Ruan Jiao's villa without even wearing shoes and strangled her to death when she was already dying.
Ruan Jiao died with her eyes open, and the last thing she saw was the princess's mad face.
"Death is not a pity! In your next life, you will only be reborn as an animal, a cheap whore with no chance of reincarnation!"
"Madam, please take care of yourself..."
The maidservant tried to persuade her, but Princess Jiacheng, who thought she had a miscarriage, went crazy and started killing people in the courtyard. She tried to strangle her to death but failed, and then she whipped her corpse dozens of times.
The morning light shone on the blood-stained ground, and a bloody courtyard gradually emerged.
Chen Bochong also returned to the mansion. Not seeing Princess Jiacheng, he rushed to the villa upon hearing the news. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw such a horrifying scene.
The bloodstains on the ground and the dancer lying unconscious in a pool of blood frightened him greatly. He hurried forward, furious.
"What are you doing?! She is pregnant with my child! A descendant of my Chen family!"
He ignored the princess who was in a daze, pinched her shoulders with both hands and asked coldly.
"You vicious woman, how could you harm the child out of jealousy? Didn't she promise you that she would leave as long as the child was born safely?"
"Can't you even tolerate a child like me, Chen Bozong? If you were pregnant, why would I go out to find a woman?" Chen Bozong was so angry that he slapped the princess, because she was the princess and he had tolerated her for so many years.
Back then, in the fiefdom of King Shuo, it was the territory of their King Shuo's palace, so he naturally didn't dare to take action against it.
Now far away in Wuheng, she was just his wife, how could she still be the princess who was above him?! His offspring were all killed, and Chen Bozong no longer had a good face.
"You know what! Just because you killed my offspring with your own hands, I can divorce you!"
Hearing this, Princess Jiacheng, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly raised her eyes.
She suddenly sneered, staring at Chen Bochong with tearful eyes, her anger and chill seemed to be overflowing from her eyes.
This is her husband, but for the sake of the palace’s reputation, no one dares to touch him.
In fact, do you care about yourself at all?
She has lost her child too!
But before the princess could finish her words, Chen Bozong lifted the dancer up and hurriedly called out, "Go call the doctor!"
And she, the wife of the first wife, became a huge joke.
…
Inside the post station.
The informant reported everything that happened in the Governor's Mansion in detail.
Even Minister Dong felt a pang of fear in his heart when he heard the tragic scene.
He sighed, "Sir, when this woman gets ruthless, she's truly terrifying! The torture we used to extract a confession from a condemned prisoner was no more brutal than this."
Ruan Mian smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if adults believe in the theory of cause and effect?"
"There's a come and go, cause and effect, and that's the way life goes. Ruan Jiao's consequences are nothing but the result of her own actions. The same goes for the princess."
Minister Dong nodded appreciatively and personally served Ruan Mian a cup of good tea with both hands.
"Madam Ruan's methods are sharp, her heart is kind but her hands are not, and she can distinguish right from wrong. She is truly admirable. I am ashamed of myself anyway."
These were not flattery, but what Minister Dong truly felt from the bottom of his heart.
As a woman, she is not afraid of power, has the means to deal with evil people, the ability to improve herself, and the courage to save the weak.
A woman like this is a perfect match for a man who understands justice and cares about the world.
Naturally, when Xie Huaian looked at such a lady, how could he not be fond of her? The love in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
Ruan Mian met his intense gaze and smiled softly, "Why do you look at me like that, my husband?"
After the words fell, Xie Huaian couldn't help the emotions in his heart, leaned forward and pecked her lips lightly.
The sudden intimacy surprised Ruan Mian. She subconsciously covered her mouth, and her ears turned slightly red when she thought of Minister Dong still watching her.
"Thank you Huaian!"
"The Minister is watching us!"
Minister Dong immediately stood up and said, "I won't look at it anymore!" Then he "rolled" out of the room.
Ruan Mian's eyebrows curved with laughter, and Xie Huaian took her waist and put his nose close to hers, accompanied by his shallow breathing.
"Mianmian, I feel more and more that I can't leave you."
The corny words made Ruan Mian feel numb inside.
However, before the couple could say anything in private, Yun Xiu's anxious voice came from outside the house.
Minister Dong ran too far just now and there was no time to stop him.
"Sister Mianmian! Sister Mianmian, the roads from our village to Guancheng and Lanqiang Border Town have been blocked!"
Hearing this, Ruan Mian frowned: "It's sealed?"
Yun Xiu nodded and said truthfully, "Today was the day my uncle went on a medical appointment. I wanted to take him to the city gate, but when we got there, we found a checkpoint. Those blocking the road were officials sent by the governor, and no matter what we said, it was useless."
"He also said that if you want to leave the city in the future, you must have a petition before you can travel."
It seems that Chen Bochong can no longer sit still.
Once this checkpoint was opened, not only was Mr. Ruan unable to see patients, but even the newly opened Ladies' Shop in Guancheng, where medicinal herbs and other goods were constantly being transported, was unable to pass through.
This is equivalent to directly cutting off all of Ruan Mian and his team's business routes.
This made Mei Xi and the others very anxious.
