When Xiaolin entered Jing'an Garden again after dinner, Meng Qi nodded. Since she had come to her door, she would not be polite. She had originally thought it would be that Wu, but she didn't expect Xiaolin to be too anxious after all.
Seeing Yuandong bring in the medicine, Xiaolin took it and placed it on the table. "I heard that the princess called the doctor in this afternoon. Is there anything serious?"
Meng Qi shook her head. "Being pregnant is so hard. I thought I'd be able to sit still after three months, but I accidentally twisted it. I'll have to drink this bitter medicine for a while. It's really annoying."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin said exaggeratedly, "Oh, where did you twist it? Did you accidentally twist it at Prince Shen's mansion?"
Xiao Lin quickly stood up and walked towards Meng Qi, looking her up and down nervously.
Meng Qi winked at Yuan Dong, and soon the sound of porcelain falling to the ground was heard outside. "What's wrong?" Meng Qi said unhappily.
Yuan Dong bowed and said, "I'll go check it out." She walked to the door and looked at the medicine again. She said with an embarrassed look, "Could you please help the princess drink the medicine? It won't be effective if it gets cold."
Xiao Lin was delighted when she heard this and quickly said, "You go and see. I will help the princess take her medicine."
After saying that, he turned around to get the medicine. Meng Qi lay there with her eyes narrowed, muttering that the medicine was bitter and she didn't want to drink it.
While looking at Meng Qi, Xiao Lin took out a purse from her sleeve and looked around nervously, "Good medicine tastes bitter. You are doing this for the young master today." After pouring the white medicine powder into the bowl, Xiao Lin exhaled, picked it up and turned to walk towards Meng Qi.
"This is my first time helping the princess take medicine. Princess, please give me some respect. Drink the medicine, and I can report to Miss Yuandong."
Meng Qi half sat up and said, "You are a concubine, why should you report to a maid like her?" After saying that, she took the medicine from Xiao Lin's hand and drank it.
Yuan Dong came into the room and said, "Xiao Man accidentally broke the bowl of egg custard I prepared for you. Su Xin has asked the kitchen to steam another bowl and send it up."
After watching Meng Qi drink the medicine, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Xiao Lin, and then went to get the box of dried fruits and brought it to Meng Qi.
Meng Qi picked and chose a dried fruit, ate it, and lay back down.
"Miss Yuandong, you are too polite. I would like to come and help the princess with her medicine every day, but I am afraid that the princess will find me annoying."
Yuan Dong laughed and said, "How could that be? Ever since the princess became pregnant, Concubine Lin has been visiting every now and then to relieve her boredom. Today, when the princess went to Prince Shen's mansion, she praised you to Second Aunt, saying that among all the sisters in the mansion, Concubine Lin is the only one who understands her feelings."
Xiao Lin chuckled when she heard that, and looked up at Meng Qi's expression, only to see that Meng Qi had her eyes closed as if she was asleep.
"I see that the princess is probably tired, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back tomorrow to help her take her medicine."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
Watching Xiao Lin leave the yard, Yuan Dong took the box from the treasure cabinet, took out a white porcelain bottle from it, poured out a small pill and fed it to Meng Qi.
"Don't worry, Princess. Xiao Shunzi has already replaced the medicine that Concubine Lin just put in."
Meng Qi nodded, "Is everything arranged?"
Yuan Dong hummed, "Since it was Concubine Lin who came, I asked Xiao Shunzi to make arrangements. The medicine has already been placed at Huamu Garden, and Cheng Dianyi has also made arrangements."
Meng Qi narrowed her eyes and said, "Bring the things in, and finish it quickly. There are still a lot of important things waiting for us."
When it was completely dark, the people in the inner courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion heard Meng Qi's cries of pain coming from Jing'an Garden. Before the doctor came in, Meng Qi had a miscarriage.
It was said that Song Chengze's forehead veins seemed to burst as he entered Jing'an Garden with a gloomy face. After hearing the doctor's statement that the princess had taken abortion medication, he slapped the table in the main hall, breaking a corner. He then relegated all the servants in Jing'an Garden to the west wing and interrogated them one by one, especially those in the small kitchen and those who prepared the princess's medicine.
When the news reached Huamuyuan, Xiaolin had just finished drinking the tranquilizing soup. After giving Meng Qi the drug, she actually felt a little regretful. Thinking about it calmly, if Meng Qi discovered that she and Cheng Qian had something going on, there was no need for her to use such a method to punish her. Given Meng Qi's personality, she could easily report it to the prince.
I didn't think it through carefully enough and got stuck in a dead end just because of Wu's words.
