Chapter 162: You want to fake your death and escape? You’re dreaming!
When the imperial physician rushed over, Liu Jinshu had already fainted from the pain.
Her body was covered in blood, and her skirt had been soaked with blood.
Two palace maids helped her up from the ground, washed her body, changed her into clean clothes, and helped her lie down on the couch.
She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital taking her pulse.
"Doctor, how is my child? Can he be saved?"
"Why, why is Your Majesty so cruel to hurt my child?"
The doctor didn't reply. He just let go of her wrist and sighed, "The child was not saved."
"Also, Concubine Liu..."
Doctor Zhang's words stopped at his lips.
Liu Jinshu saw the clue and asked, "And what? Tell me!"
Doctor Zhang sighed and said, "Did the young lady secretly take a secret medicine before she became pregnant? This secret medicine can make one's skin as white as jade."
Liu Jinshu was surprised, "How did you know?"
After she met Yun Yi, in order to make Yun Yi happy, she asked the madam of Yuchunlou to find a secret medicine and take one pill every day.
I heard that after taking that secret medicine, the skin all over the body will become as delicate as white jade.
“Are there any side effects to this medicine?”
Doctor Zhang sighed and said, "It's not easy to get pregnant if you take this secret medicine."
"Looking at the current situation, you are already pregnant."
"Since this child was not saved, Concubine Liu will never be able to have her own children again."
"I'll prescribe some blood-nourishing medicine for you."
After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, he began to write a prescription.
After the prescription was written, a palace maid took it out and hurried to boil the medicine.
"Why, why do they all do this to me! Why?"
"I will never be able to get pregnant again and have a child of my own."
"The child Yun Yi and I had is gone just like that."
Heart-wrenching cries were heard from the bedroom, but there was dead silence outside.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
The King of Qi angrily took several guards to the underground prison.
The entire underground prison was empty, without even a single person in sight.
"The iron cages I forged with black iron have been opened. Who on earth let all the beasts in this dungeon free?"
The guard in charge of guarding the underground prison rushed over and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness, several men in black came to the mansion yesterday after Your Highness entered the palace. By the time we noticed, everyone in the prison had been kidnapped."
The King of Qi's face changed, and he stretched out his leg and kicked the black-clad guard in front of him to the ground.
"Useless things! They are just useless people, and they can escape!"
Duke Gao came up from behind and said, "The people imprisoned in this prison are all people of high status."
"I'm afraid that the truth will be revealed in the future, and then you and I will be in trouble."
The King of Qi looked at Duke Gao unhappily, "What do you mean by 'the end'? What nonsense are you talking about? Find a way to search Yanjing City and kill all those people."
"I don't believe it. How far can those people run? I will find them no matter where they are!"
Gao Guogong said: "Now Chen Tingzhou has been abducted. Do you think the person who abducted him is one of Prince Li's men?"
"Or is it Prince Rui? Shen Tingzhou is the eldest son of the Shen family. He will definitely return to the Shen family after he is released from the underground prison."
"Your Highness, why don't you go to the Shen family?"
The King of Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "This is a very good idea, Duke."
"Chen Ting Zhou must die!"
"Otherwise, if the story of the Shen family's entire male line being slaughtered becomes public, I will be sent to the guillotine."
"Tell me your orders. Have the Qi Wang Mansion's secret guards search the entire city for the whereabouts of those people. If they encounter anyone who looks like them, kill them immediately to avoid any more trouble."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The King of Qi looked at Duke Gao and said quietly, "Go to the Yanjing government office and meet Su Yanqiu."
"I remember that he seemed to be poisoned. I tried to find a way to cure Su Yanqiu's poison, so that he could fake his death and escape from the Yanjing prison and serve me."
Gao Guogong said: "I understand."
After the King of Qi and Duke Gao hurriedly left the underground prison, they got on the carriage at the side door and headed towards the Shen family.
In the house on the outskirts of Yanjing, Su Yuheng went to Chen Tingzhou's room again.
After the treatment by the female doctors last night, Shen Tingzhou felt much better, but his body was still very weak.
After seeing Su Yuheng come in, Shen Tingzhou's lips curled up in an arc that was difficult to conceal.
"Heng'er."
Su Yuheng walked in and asked the doctors.
"How is it?"
The doctor shook his head. "I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for a while. With chains that thick going through his bones, it'll probably take another year to recover."
"A year? How could it take so long?" Su Yuheng frowned.
The doctor said, "One year is already short."
Su Yuheng sighed and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Tingzhou.
"What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice.
Shen Tingzhou curled his lips and said, “You are thoughtful.”
"Who caused these injuries to you? The King of Qi?"
Shen Tingzhou shook his head: “No, it’s Su Yanqiu.”
"He invited me to Fanlou, saying he knew the truth about the massacre of the male members of the Shen family. I believed him and rushed to Fanlou. I drank a cup of tea he poured for me, and woke up in the underground prison of Prince Qi's mansion."
Su Yuheng clenched his hands slightly.
It turned out to be Su Yanqiu.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Tingzhou continued, "Heng'er, in fact, Daddy and I have long been aware of your identity. We know that you are a member of the Shen family and we are determined to find out what happened back then."
"That's why you were killed by Su Yanqiu. The Su family snatched you back from your mother. Have they treated you well over the years?"
"Are you and Su Yanqiu still...?"
"No." Su Yuheng retorted.
"Everything he and I did was just a show, all for self-preservation."
"That's good." Shen Tingzhou said.
"It's good to see you now."
Su Yuheng looked at Shen Tingzhou and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you know if mother is still alive?"
Shen Tingzhou's eyes darkened and he looked at her in disbelief.
"What did you say? Mother is still alive?"
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes, mother is still alive."
"So, brother, you must take good care of your injuries and don't give up on yourself. Although Daddy is gone, our mother is still here."
"My sister is here too, my grandmother is here too, and I... am going home too."
Shen Tingzhou leaned on the edge of the bed, laughing.
Although his body was ravaged beyond recognition, he was genuinely happy.
He has a younger sister and his mother is still alive.
But my father and uncles will never come back.
He choked up and said, "When I recover from my illness, I will be reunited with you."
Su Yuheng nodded, "Well, take good care of your injuries."
Just at this moment, the door of the wing room was pushed open. Su Yuheng looked back and saw Shen Wan in pink coming in from outside.
"Tingzhou."
Shen Wan's eyes were red, and when she saw the emaciated Shen Tingzhou lying on the sickbed, she burst into tears.
"Sister, don't cry."
Su Yuheng stood up and quickly left the room.
As soon as she left the room, she felt a white figure appear beside her.
"Is Princess Li crying?"
When she raised her eyes, she saw Qi Lingzhou blinking at her.
"Why are you here?" Su Yuheng asked.
Qi Lingzhou folded his arms and smiled at her, "Of course I'm here to watch the fun. It looks like there's quite a lot of misery going on inside."
Su Yuheng didn't bother to pay attention to him. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and walked to the other side.
The young man behind her still followed her closely.
"Princess Li, why didn't you wait for me?"
"Don't follow me." Su Yuheng said.
After she walked for a while, Bai Lu arrived.
"Princess, there's news of Master Yu's arrival."
Su Yuheng took the letter, glanced at its contents, and sneered: "Thinking of faking your own death to escape is simply a dream."
"Looks like I'm going to go to the Yanjing government office myself today and make sure he never gets over his mistake again!"
"Bai Lu, go tell Prince Rui to go to the Shen family."
