Chapter 92 Eyewitness Account of Birds
Lin Ruoxue supported herself with one hand on the ground, face down, her face obscured by elaborate hair ornaments, and no one could see the madness in her eyes.
This time, we will definitely seize Xie Mianmian's fortune! The fortunes of the Xie and Lin families are in constant flux, it's either you die or I live, there's no solution between them.
With the Xie family losing its lucky daughter, she can smoothly become the first female official of the Great Zhou!
Lin Ruoxue clutched her stomach tightly, the voice she hated echoing in her mind: "What kind of female official is this, the Imperial Observatory? She has no skills whatsoever. Go back and have your baby."
Ha, if you want to have a baby, go have one for that damned Third Prince. I want to rise to the position second only to the emperor!
My child, please choose your path carefully in your next life before you come back.
Lin Ruoxue pretended to wail a few times, but still didn't notice any liquid flowing out from under her, and her stomach didn't even hurt.
Is it still not ruthless enough?
Lin Ruoxue gritted her teeth, lay prone on the ground, and pounded her abdomen heavily with her hands from an angle where no one could see her.
Just then, a noisy commotion arose.
Lin Ruoxue raised her head and said in a sobbing voice, "Miss Xie, I have no grudge against you. If you have any problems, come at me. Why did you harm my child?"
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips and firmly protected Xie Mianmian behind him.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
A palace maid has already run off to summon the imperial physician.
"Oh dear, I knew that child was wicked, daring to plot against a royal heir. Luckily, I didn't introduce my nephew to the Xie family, otherwise..."
"That doesn't make sense. How could such a young child do such a thing? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Lin Ruoxue's maid looked indignant and said, "I saw it clearly. As soon as Miss Xie came up, she shouted loudly for the Third Princess to give her the red bird. Her words were extremely rude."
"My mistress is kind-hearted. She personally gave the red bird to Miss Xie. Who knew..." The maid choked up and wiped her eyes, "She actually pushed my mistress to the ground. Poor baby in her womb. Please, gentlemen and ladies, judge this for my mistress."
The crowd pointed and whispered about Xie Mianmian behind the Seventh Prince.
"Human nature is inherently evil. This child is like a troublesome little devil, incapable of having any sense of goodness. It's not surprising that he would do such a wicked thing."
"Hey, isn't it said that Miss Xie is a little fairy who saved thousands of people with prophecy? She should be a kind-hearted person."
"Your information is outdated. You think she has prophetic abilities because she killed Master Qianjing?"
The man disagreed, saying, "That's not right..." How could a five-year-old child kill an adult, even if that person was an old man?
But he couldn't say those words because he was met with indignant condemnation from those around him.
"Enough!" Xie Mianmian stepped out from behind the Seventh Prince, her face serious.
Everyone took a step back. The little devil had appeared. How terrifying! She probably wouldn't just rush up and bite them out of nowhere, would she?
Thinking this, the tall, burly adults all looked at the five-year-old child with suspicion.
The Seventh Prince tried to pull Xie Mianmian back, but the child was very stubborn. "You were the one who took Xiaoju away! Mianmian came to save the bird! Also, you said I pushed you, where's the evidence?"
Xie Mianmian grew angrier as she spoke, and her face unconsciously mimicked the angry expression of a wolf cub, baring her teeth to express her fury at being wrongly accused.
Oh dear, everyone stepped back again. This child has started to transform into a wolf; he's even more terrifying now.
Lin Ruoxue had to pretend to have a stomachache on the ground and be unable to speak.
Then the palace maid spoke up: "Everyone here saw it was you who pushed my master. How can you, a mere child, be allowed to harm a royal heir without any evidence? Where is justice?!"
The Seventh Prince said, "I can testify that Xie Mianmian did not push her."
"You're all in cahoots. The Seventh Prince can say whatever he wants, but the unborn little master is a pity."
"You!" Xie Mianmian was furious. Suddenly, she noticed Little Orange standing to the side. It hadn't left yet and was still watching the commotion.
Xie Mianmian pointed at the flamingo and said to everyone, "Little Orange is the eyewitness bird. It doesn't belong to either side, so we can believe what it says!"
She turned to the flamingo and said, "Little Orange, you were in her hands back then, so you saw it most clearly, tell me."
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Little Orange gracefully flapped her pale red wings and said, "That's right, I saw it all. It was that bad woman who tripped herself!"
But in everyone's eyes, it was just a beautiful little red bird that first showed off its beauty, and then kept making a rough, hoarse call. The scene was truly bizarre.
Oh dear, this is insane! Miss Xie has gone so far as to seek out a bird as a witness! It's terrifying! Everyone is in a state of panic.
She's a demon! She really is a demon!
"Judging from her unusual behavior, it seems that she really was the one who pushed the Third Princess Consort."
"I think you're right."
Seeing that no one believed her, Xie Mianmian looked at the Seventh Prince with tears in her eyes. The Seventh Prince held the child's wrist tightly, comforting her silently.
Lin Ruoxue smiled smugly. As long as the Xie family's fortunes declined, the imperial court would belong to the Lin family.
At that time, her father will seize the real power of the canal transport, and she, Lin Ruoxue, will become the most respected female official, and the Lin family will then have all the money and power in their hands.
As for the Xie family, they probably won't even be worthy of carrying her shoes anymore, Lin Ruoxue laughed inwardly.
At this moment, the Third Prince arrived late with the imperial physician.
He knelt on one knee, half-embracing Lin Ruoxue, and roared at the imperial physician, "Quickly examine her! If there is even the slightest problem with the child in the imperial concubine's womb, I will make your entire Imperial Hospital pay with your lives!"
This is the third prince's first child after so many years of indulging in sensual pleasures, so he values it very much.
This startled the middle-aged imperial physician. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly placed a handkerchief over Lin Ruoxue's wrist.
With trembling fingers, the imperial physician carefully took the pulse, his brows furrowed, remaining silent for a long time.
Everyone, without prior arrangement, turned their gaze to the imperial physician's enigmatic face.
"The Third Princess Consort doesn't seem to be bleeding. Is there anything wrong with her abdomen?"
"The pain is unbearable."
The imperial physician fell silent, and the more he examined her, the stranger her expression became.
Third Prince: My first child.
Lin Ruoxue: The Lin family's good days are coming, hahaha.
Everyone was very curious: was this imperial physician any good? Did it really take so long to examine someone?
Only Xie Mianmian looked at Lin Ruoxue's belly with worry. Although it was none of her business, it was a precious life.
No matter what this child will become when he grows up, Xie Mianmian firmly believes that all babies are the purest, most innocent, pitiful, and crying for milk.
Just like the newborn wolf cubs back then, tiny and helpless, unable to even open their eyes.
The imperial physician finally spoke, stroking his beard as he said, "Strange indeed, the Third Imperial Consort's pregnancy pulse is hard to detect, seemingly there yet not quite."
