Chapter 449 A disaster came from the sky
"A drug to induce labor? Why would you want to induce labor?" Doctor Hu shook his head repeatedly. "You can't say you have an emergency and then play with Qi Niang's body. It's already this month, and the fruit can be ripe at any time. Why can't it wait?"
"Old Hu, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you." Xiao Yan closed his eyes, "I am the descendant of the King of Yue."
He couldn't accept this fact either.
But Teng Wenfu risked his life to deliver the message to him, so this is true.
"King of Yue, which King of Yue? Anti-Party?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan had already gotten over the stage of disbelief. Although it still felt like a dream, he had calmed down. "I'm afraid there's no way to escape this time. If the emperor shows some mercy, the women in my family will probably be sold into slavery. When that happens, I'm afraid you, Old Hu, will have to take good care of them."
He took out the prepared silver note and placed it on the table, then bowed solemnly to Doctor Hu.
Doctor Hu looked shocked.
"How is this possible? What is going on?"
But for Xiao Yan, wasn't it a bolt from the blue?
The memorial has been delivered to the emperor's desk. The emperor was furious and ordered the Jinyiwei to conduct a thorough investigation.
However, this matter has been under secret investigation until now and has not been made public.
"I think it won't be delayed for much longer." Xiao Yan said.
Teng Wenfu probably hesitated for a while before taking the risk of revealing it to him.
Teng Wenfu said, "Xiao Yan, I'm telling you this because I believe in your righteousness and I also feel sorry for Qi Niang. You know what's going on, so be prepared."
Xiao Yan was extremely grateful to him and also made up his mind to do his best to prevent the emperor from becoming suspicious of Teng Wenfu as long as his ability allowed.
So he used the excuse that Lu Qinniang had a difficult delivery to send San Ya away and warn Er Ya.
"The most urgent thing is to let Qi Niang give birth." Xiao Yan's heart felt like it was being cut repeatedly by a blunt knife, the pain numb, but he had to force himself to think calmly, "If...if it's possible, send the child away. If..." His throat choked, and he uttered the last few words with difficulty, "If not...then that will be his fate. As for Qi Niang...how long can we keep this a secret? That's all."
He had already made up his mind.
After everything was arranged, he went to see the emperor.
He would say that he had planted spies in the Marquis's Mansion, so he knew his life story and the matter would be exposed long ago.
Before the thunder strikes, he wants to use this "voluntary confession" to fight for a glimmer of hope for Lu Qiniang and his daughters.
He was willing to be killed just to save his family.
“——We can’t… let Qi Niang cry during her confinement period…” Xiao Yan’s voice trailed off, carrying with it an indescribable heaviness and sadness.
Only he himself knew that when he said these words, his heart was being tortured.
It is no exaggeration to say that this incident was a disaster sent from heaven.
Xiao Yan knew that something happened at the Qingping Marquis Mansion, but he never thought that it would be related to him.
He was not interested in the title and had no desire to participate.
However, Marquis Qingping actually told the princess, who was experiencing the pain of losing her son and was almost heartbroken, that he had two illegitimate children outside.
He wanted to bring the illegitimate child into the palace and register him under the princess's name.
In this way, the princess had a son again.
When Doctor Hu heard what Xiao Yan said, he couldn't believe it.
——Although Dujuan had brought about her own destruction before, so much time had passed and Doctor Hu never mentioned anything about her in front of Lin.
For mothers, no matter what their children are like, they are their own flesh and blood.
What kind of brain does Marquis Qingping have? He could actually come up with such a "good idea" that the Seventh Princess was so mad that she decided to die with him.
And Xiao Yan was the innocent victim implicated in this crazy destruction.
Furious and despairing, the Seventh Princess wrote a suicide note to the Emperor, revealing a long-buried secret that could overturn the entire Qingping Marquisate.
It turns out that the seemingly confused Marquis Qingping had actually had secret dealings with one of the sons of the King of Yue!
This became his fatal handle, and was held tightly by others.
If you don't obey, I will report your collusion with the rebels to His Majesty.
Marquis Qingping appears fierce but is actually weak, and loses his composure when encountering difficulties.
Under great fear, he had to succumb to the other party's threats, bring a child back home, and raise him as his own flesh and blood.
This child is Xiao Yan.
The Seventh Princess knows the truth.
But what can she do?
At that time, she had already given birth to a son for Marquis Qingping.
If something happened to Marquis Qingping, her and her son's lives would be ruined.
In desperation, the Seventh Princess had no choice but to accept it, and even colluded with Aunt Bai to ask her to lie to others that the child was hers.
This matter concerns the life and death of the Marquis' Mansion.
This is also why the Qingping Marquis Mansion kept this matter under wraps, and even if Xiao Yan wanted to investigate, it was difficult to find any clues.
Originally, this matter would not have been exposed.
However, the mysterious actions of Marquis Qingping ignited the anger of the Seventh Princess, who was experiencing the great pain of losing her son.
——After being competitive for most of his life, he ended up losing his loved one and his partner revealed his true nature as a beast.
What hope does she have in this life!
The seventh princess had no desire to live.
But before she died, she wanted to drag Qingping Hou down with her!
Thus, this old case that was enough to bring ruin to the Qingping Marquis Mansion, along with the mystery of Xiao Yan's life experience, was tearfully accused by the Seventh Princess and presented to the imperial desk.
If it were something else, the emperor might just let it go.
But everyone knows that as long as it involves the King of Yue, it is like throwing sand in the eyes of the emperor.
Just like that, a horrific disaster caused by the ignorance and madness of others, like a meteorite falling from the sky, smashed Xiao Yan's life, which had just begun to be stable and full of hope, into pieces and brought it to an abrupt end.
Nothing could be more bizarre and absurd than fate.
"Old Hu, I can't survive." Xiao Yan's voice returned to its almost dead calm, but the slightly reddened corners of his eyes revealed the pain in his heart, "The thing I regret most is meeting Qi Niang."
He got the best few years of his life, but dragged the rest of Lu Qiniang and his three daughters' lives into an abyss.
"You arranged for the second and third girls to leave, but what about the eldest girl?" Doctor Hu couldn't help but ask.
He wanted to ask God what was going on.
What did Xiao Yan do wrong, and what did Lu Qiniang do wrong?
They worked so hard to live, and to lead the people around them to live well, but in the end they have to end up like this?
If Xiao Yan had committed murder or arson, Doctor Hu would not have said anything.
But who wouldn't sympathize with him when he was about to suffer a devastating disaster just because of a background that he himself didn't know?
"She knows. She won't leave. She can't leave."
Daya has married Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan's entire family is in the capital.
"She said she would stay and take care of her abandoned mother. She was going to divorce Jiang Xuan."
I don’t know if this can save Jiang Xuan from disaster, but when disaster strikes, we have to do something.
Xiao Yan discussed everything with Daya and Jiang Xuan.
The only thing they didn't agree on was their divorce.
They should still be discussing and trying to persuade each other.
Xiao Yan couldn't care less.
His mind is now full of Lu Qi Niang.
He is not afraid of death.
He was only afraid that his death would become a wound in Lu Qinniang's heart that would never heal, and would become the pain and worry that would linger every moment of her long life.
