Another half month passed.
Jiang He gradually became able to eat, and his originally skinny face began to gain weight.
Fuyao Palace in the early morning.
Everyone in the harem came to pay their respects to the princess.
Jiang He knelt in front of Fu Yijing and kowtowed twice, repeatedly thanking Fu Yijing, tears streaming down his face. Only those who are seriously ill and dying know how exciting it is to see the light of day in despair.
Jiang He said, "This life of yours was given to me by the Princess Royal. I will remember your great kindness and virtue for the rest of my life."
Fu Yijing asked Taoist Chen to treat Jiang He with the intention of taking advantage of him. Now that he saw how grateful Jiang He was to him, he felt a little ashamed for some reason.
But this feeling of shame only lasted for a moment, and Fu Yijing smiled and helped Jiang He up from the ground, "Her Highness is worried about you and can't eat or sleep well. I asked Taoist Chen to save you to relieve Her Highness's worries. Besides, you are the one serving Her Highness, so we are family. It is my duty to take care of you and treat you well. This is my duty as the Princess of the Eastern Palace."
Jiang He's tears, which had just stopped flowing, began to flow again. He used to think that Fu Yijing, the Princess Royal, was hypocritical, but after this incident, he realized that the Princess Royal was the kindest and most beautiful person in the world. He had been judging her by his own standards.
Jiang He thought about this and slapped himself hard. "My dear Princess, I used to be prejudiced against you. I thought that your treatment of the servants in the harem was fake kindness, all for Your Highness to see. I had the idea of ​​disrespecting you in my heart. Now that I think about it, I am really a piece of shit. I have misunderstood you all along. I really... really deserve to die..."
Jiang He said this and was about to slap himself again.
Fu Yijing quickly stopped him, "No, no, no, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. If you don't take good care of yourself, how can you hit yourself?"
Jiang He grabbed Fu Yijing's hand, his voice filled with suppressed tears, "Your Highness, the Princess Royal, is truly a beautiful person like a Bodhisattva. I have misunderstood you in so many ways before. I am truly ashamed. Wuwuwuwu..."
Fu Yijing wanted to pull his hand out of Jiang He's, but Jiang He held it too tightly. He could only look at Jiang He with a fake smile on his face. He felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Fu Yijing said almost all the comforting words he could think of in his life. Jiang He finally calmed down and let go of his hand.
Fu Yijing's eyes swept over the faces of the people in front of him. Except for Shangguan Xu and Xue Wu, all other high-ranking officials were present.
Fu Yijing asked knowingly, "I remember that Shangguan Concubine's confinement ended today. Why didn't he come to pay his respects to me? Also, Noble Servant Lian is usually the most well-behaved and punctual person. Why is she late today?"
No one, including Lu Jinshu, could answer Fu Yijing's two questions. However, Fu Yijing hadn't expected anyone to answer his questions.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man's extremely shrill voice suddenly came from outside, "This servant demands to see the Princess Royal. Shangguan Cejun wants to kill my child. Please, Princess Royal, help this servant!"
Most people in the room recognized that it was Xue Wu's voice. Even those who were not familiar with Xue Wu could easily guess by simply sorting out the known information that the only pregnant person in the East Palace, besides Lu Jinshu who was sitting in the room, was Xue Wu.
The door was violently slammed open, and Xue Wu stumbled in. He immediately knelt in front of Fu Yijing, crying out in grief, "Please, Princess, please help me. When I was almost at Fuyao Palace, I ran into Shangguan Cejun, who was also here to pay his respects to you. Shangguan Cejun saw my bulging belly and cursed, 'I'm not worthy of bearing your child,' and kicked me in the stomach. I miscarried because of him..."
When Xue Wu cried out, everyone in the room focused their attention on him, only to see that his skirt was stained with blood.
Jiang He's eyes widened in shock. His fingertips were trembling as he pointed at Xue Wu. "Blood... He lost a lot of blood..."
Fu Yijing was about to speak.
At this time, Shangguan Xu also ran in from the direction of the door. He glared at Xue Wu with anger in his eyes, "You bitch, stop slandering me here. It's true that I met you on the way to Fuyao Palace, but I didn't touch you at all, let alone kick you in the stomach and kick your child away. Such nonsense! When I met you, your skirt was already stained with blood. This is clearly a trap you set up in advance to slander me."
Xue Wu cried even harder, "Shangguan Cejun, what you said is totally unreasonable. Even if I have a brain full of water, I can't possibly use a child to slander you. That's a child. That's the support I'll have for the rest of my life."
Most people in the room looked at Xue Wu with sympathy, tacitly acknowledging that Shangguan Xu had murdered Xue Wu's child. After all, as Xue Wu had said, that child was his lifeline for the rest of his life. Unless he was crazy, he couldn't have been unaware that using the child to frame Shangguan Xu was a very unprofitable thing to do.
Shangguan Xu had never been slandered like this before, and he shouted angrily, "I heard that the pregnancy in your belly is unstable and you may miscarry at any time..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Yijing interrupted him coldly, "Shangguan Concubine has been imprisoned in Changqiu Palace for a month, so the news she heard may not be comprehensive. The fetus in Concubine Lian's belly was originally unstable, but Her Highness invited a highly skilled folk doctor back. After the doctor's prescription and treatment, Concubine Lian's pregnancy is in excellent condition. As long as the time comes, she will definitely be born safely."
Fu Yijing had originally asked Taoist Chen to treat both Jiang He and Xue Wu because Jiang He's improvement would prove the authority of Taoist Chen's medical skills. Taoist Chen said that if Xue Wu could give birth to the baby in her belly, then there would definitely be no problem.
