Chapter 139 The Super Hero King Jing
The chaotic farce ended with the Crown Princess's rapid exclamation.
Princess Jing began to feel uncomfortable and had a dull pain in her lower abdomen as soon as Xiao Xun said she had no children and wanted to take a concubine. She gritted her teeth and endured it, not wanting to make herself look more pitiful.
But the longer the time went on, the colder her body became, her lower abdomen ached, and she gradually became unconscious.
Fortunately, no one cares or pays attention to her.
Xun Shuling leaned silently on the maid, watching her husband go crazy and feel helpless for another woman. Regardless of whether she married her or not, she just wanted the banquet to end quickly.
There was something wet and sticky flowing under her body. She was somewhat aware of it, yet somewhat confused. She just felt groggy and uncomfortable.
Clothes were thick in winter, especially palace dresses. By the time the blood started seeping out from under Princess Jing's body, she had already fainted.
Her face was as pale as paper, but she still held the maid's hand tightly and did not allow her to call anyone. She was already humiliated enough, with only a little self-respect left, and she did not want to attract everyone's attention and sympathy.
It was not until the Crown Princess, who was present at the table, turned around inadvertently, pointed at the bloodstain on the ground and cried out in shock that everyone noticed the abnormality of Princess Jing.
Nian Xi also saw this scene.
Princess Jing's purple-gold palace dress became thick and sticky. She lay there quietly, not moving at all.
Her heart suddenly tightened, as if she was back in that midnight. She held her stomach helplessly, not knowing who to ask for help.
Who will come and save her, save her poor child who was never born.
A suffocating pain came over her, her eyes went dark, and she slowly fell to the ground.
Lu Huai had been holding Nian Xi's hand, so he was the first to notice that something was wrong with Nian Xi. When Nian Xi fell, he tried to catch her with his small body.
Of course the result was unsuccessful, as he himself was also brought down by Nian Xi.
Lu Huai's voice was much louder than the Crown Princess's, and because of his fear, his voice was even sharper, "Nianxi was also killed by Prince Jing! Wuwu, Nianxi, wake up..."
Everyone went to see Nian Xi again.
The whole hall became noisy again.
Queen Lu was simply upset. How could her birthday party turn into such a farce that was difficult to resolve?
"Wen Sheng..."
She couldn't help but look at her most trusted and dependable brother.
Lu Wensheng had already noticed Nianxi when she fell down. He was originally going to take Nianxi and Xiaoqi out of the palace, but when he looked back at the unconscious Princess Jing, the sinister-looking Prince Jing, Madam Chengjing and others...
He sighed in his heart.
He glanced down at the unconscious girl in his arms. She was so light that she seemed to have no weight, a soft ball, leaning gently against his chest.
This was the first time he stared at her closely and intently, without restraint or courtesy. He saw the girl's delicate eyebrows slightly frowned and her lips trembled. He lowered his head and put his ear to listen, and only heard intermittent "Save... the child..."
A teenage girl, after being frightened, would be afraid no matter how strong she was. Lu Wensheng saw tears rolling down her eyes.
Slowly work it into hair.
My heart felt like it was seeped into by wet rain, and a corner of it collapsed, filled with heartache and pity.
Lu Wensheng held Nianxi in his arms and glanced down at Xiaoqi. The father and son turned around and tried to leave at the same time. Queen Lu called out from behind:
"Wen Sheng!"
There was anxiety and panic in her tone, as well as the subtle apology of an elder sister.
Lu Wensheng stopped dead in his tracks...
After all, I am still worried.
He handed Nianxi over to Li, who had been following him all the time. He moved very gently, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable. He arranged the follow-up and then said to Li:
"Madam, my carriage is spacious. Why don't you take my carriage back?"
Li naturally hated the people of Empress Lu's line, but since Duke Fu had helped Nian Xi before, she couldn't be too cold-hearted and just refused, "No need."
Nian Xi was still in a coma. Li was extremely worried and did not care about anything else. She left the palace in a hurry.
The sky was about to snow and it was pitch black.
Lu Huai gave his father a reassuring look, then followed Li into the sedan chair and left.
…
Nianxi fell seriously ill.
The fever lasted for several days and he was completely delirious. He kept saying incomprehensible nonsense.
Li was so anxious that her mouth was covered with blisters. She went to the temple in the heavy snow to pray to the gods and Buddha, hoping that the gods and Buddha would bless her Nianxi and keep her safe and healthy.
Four or five days later, Nian Xi finally came to his senses.
Li had lost weight visibly, and so had her father and brother, who had been worried about her day and night over the past few days.
Nian Xi felt very guilty in her heart. Because of her own affairs, she made the whole family suffer.
Brother Wen Qingheng looked at his sister's haggard appearance and said with a distressed look, "Wherever you go in the future, your brother will accompany you."
No one can bully his sister again, all those stinky men should die!
The court was in an uproar these days because of the fact that Prince Jing had forcibly married an official's daughter. On the second day of the Queen's Thousand Years Banquet, the memorials submitted by the Historian's Office almost overwhelmed the emperor's case.
It was not just Yu Shi. All the families that were on good terms with the Wen family, as well as the colleagues and relatives of the Wen father and son, all submitted memorials to make reports.
The pregnancy of Princess Jing added fuel to the fire, attracting public criticism and making things even worse for Prince Jing.
There were also rumors that Prince Jing looked young and strong, but in fact he was weak and frail, his penis was not used, and when he was having fun with the prostitutes, he often emphasized that his penis was very big, but in fact it was only the size of a needle tip... There were all kinds of details.
Prince Jing was reprimanded by His Majesty and confined to reflect on his actions.
Xiao Xun sat in the study, pacing like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, listening to his subordinates' reports with a stern face.
"That bunch of old thieves from Yushitai are so full that they keep staring at me all day long! When I get out, I will punish them one by one!"
At this time, an aide said, "The prince wanted to take a concubine just the day before, but the officials all submitted their petitions the next day. It's so fast that it seems unusual."
Xiao Xun frowned, "Are you saying that someone is deliberately making trouble for me?"
The staff nodded, "It's very likely."
Xiao Xun's fists creaked as he said sinisterly, "Don't let them fall into my hands."
He looked at his subordinates and said impatiently, "Anything else? Tell me all at once."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then told the rumor carefully.
The more Xiao Xun talked, the darker his face became. When he mentioned that the thing was only the size of a needle tip, Xiao Xun became furious, veins on his neck bulged, and his whole body appeared in an extremely manic state.
He kicked the man away, "Get out!"
Indeed, for a man, being told he is incompetent or small is more fatal than any other blow.
In the study, the staff tried their best to reduce their presence to avoid getting into trouble.
Good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Lord Pei, who was ordered to investigate the Yanyin corruption case, found new evidence in Lianghuai. A memorial was sent directly to the emperor, pointing out that Prince Jing was corrupt and had taken huge bribes.
