Chapter 48: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine Daughter 48

The two eunuchs who ran to check the situation were trembling with fear when they saw the situation in front of them. The young eunuch named Pei An said to the people next to him, "Don't let the queen come over. Go and find a way to stop her."

After saying this, he ran to the collapsed rockery and began to clean up the rubble on the ground.

The guards who were patrolling near the rockery heard the noise and ran over to check the situation. When they saw the people from Kunning Palace were there, they started to clear the rubble without saying a word.

"Is the Queen okay?"

The guard commander had a serious look on his face, and was the first to pull out the bloody little eunuch from under a huge rock.

Pei An looked at the blood on the ground, trembling all over, looked up at the chief of the guards and said, "The queen is fine, but the little prince may have been hit. Please ask Commander Zhang to send someone to tell the emperor as soon as possible."

"I don't know how long the Queen can keep this a secret."

As soon as Pei'an finished speaking, he saw the sound of Aunt Qiao approaching quickly.

"Xi'er, Xi'er"

Aunt Qiao felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

[Host, don't worry, the little prince is not in danger]

Aunt Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing such a large rockery collapse, she still felt uneasy. Not being in danger of life does not mean that there are no injuries.

"My queen, please don't be anxious. Calm down. You must calm down and be careful about your stomach." Jin Ling was so anxious that her face turned pale and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks.

The guards were very fast and the two eunuchs who followed Chenxi were already dead.

Aunt Qiao's tears flowed uncontrollably. She felt her legs go weak and her stomach ached.

Suddenly, a familiar breath enveloped her. Mo Liyuan hugged Jin Jin Qiao and spoke in a calming voice, which made Jin Jin Qiao feel more at ease.

"Find the little prince first"

Although he was more anxious than Aunt Qiao at this moment, he couldn't show it.

The last stone was lifted, revealing the person inside. It was a woman, who was protecting Chenxi tightly.

"Xi'er" Aunt Qiao's eyes went dark and she passed out.

When she woke up again, it was already late at night. Mo Liyuan was sitting in front of the bed holding her hand.

"Xi'er" thought of the scene she saw before she fainted, and Qiao Jinjin's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Your Majesty, my Xi'er"

"Don't worry, Auntie. Xier is fine." Mo Liyuan's expression was no longer so ugly, and he quickly comforted Auntie Qiao.

"I heard from the imperial doctor that you have a miscarriage, so you must not act rashly."

Aunt Qiao wiped her tears and choked up, "But I saw so much blood on Xi'er's body, how could she be okay?"

Mo Liyuan sighed and said, "That was Liupin's blood. Liupin saved Xier."

"Princess Liu? Liu Lan'er?" Aunt Qiao frowned. She didn't have a deep impression of Concubine Liu as she had only met her a few times.

Mo Liyuan nodded and said, "Xi'er just had a scratch on her forehead and fainted from the shock."

"As for Concubine Liu, the imperial physician said her legs are useless."

Ignoring Mo Liyuan's obstruction, Aunt Qiao got out of bed and came to Chenxi's room with his support. When little Chenxi saw Aunt Qiao, he grinned and started crying.

"Mother, Xi'er is in pain."

Aunt Qiao was so distressed that she hugged Chenxi and looked him up and down, and only then did she feel completely relieved.

"Don't cry, Xi'er. The pain will go away when you wake up."

After comforting Chenxi, Jinjin Qiao went to Concubine Liu's room again. Looking at Concubine Liu lying unconscious on the bed, Jinjin Qiao felt complicated. She didn't quite understand why Concubine Liu wanted to save Xier.

But no matter whether Concubine Liu has any purpose or not, she saved Xier. No matter what her request is, I will try my best to meet it.

"Jinling, how is Liupin doing?"

Jin Ling put down the bloodstained handkerchief in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that even if Concubine Liu's leg is cured, it will not recover as before."

“Other places are better”

Aunt Qiao nodded, looked at Concubine Liu deeply and said, "Arrange someone to take good care of her and don't neglect her."

When Aunt Qiao returned to the bedroom, she looked grim. She grabbed Mo Liyuan's hand tightly and said, "Has the emperor checked? I don't believe that the rockery would collapse for no reason."

Mo Liyuan exhaled, stroked Qiao Jinjin's back and said, "When Jinjin was asleep, I had already caught the culprit."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiao gritted her teeth and asked, "Who?"

"Qiao Zhenzhen"

Qiao Jinjin's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in disbelief, "How could it be her? How did she get into the palace?"

"Auntie, don't be anxious"

"Qiao Zhenzhen lost her support and lived a miserable life. Especially after hearing that Li Huaijiang was dead, she ran to Linjiang and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide."

"Rescued by a farmer"

"Half a year ago, Qiao Zhenzhen passed the selection and entered the palace to become a palace maid."

"The reason she attacked Chenxi this time was to make you unable to bear the blow and kill two people at once."

Aunt Qiao clenched her fists tightly, pursed her lips and said, "How does the emperor plan to deal with her?"

Speaking of Qiao Zhenzhen, Mo Liyuan's heart was filled with hatred. Qiao Zhenzhen was almost successful. Fortunately, Concubine Liu rescued her, otherwise he really couldn't imagine what would have happened.

"I have already ordered her to be tortured. It would be too easy for her to be killed so easily."

Only then did Aunt Qiao stop talking.

Concubine Liu was in a coma for two whole days before she woke up. Aunt Qiao came to visit her as soon as she woke up.

"Liupin, thank you for saving Xier, but your leg..."

Concubine Liu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty, I know my legs are useless."

"The Queen must be wondering why I saved the little prince."

"Even if I don't say it, the Queen should be able to guess that I have a purpose."

Aunt Qiao lowered her head and sighed, "You tell me, as long as I can do it."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu smiled and curled her eyes. She didn't feel sad at all about her broken leg. "I want to leave the palace. I want to live the life of an ordinary person, a free and easy life."

"That's it?" Aunt Qiao simply couldn't believe it.

Concubine Liu lowered her eyes and nodded, "That's it. Your Majesty may think this is an easy thing to do, but it is very difficult for me to do it."

"My father has even decided who I will marry when I return home."

"How could I possibly be willing to marry an old man in his 50s?"

Aunt Qiao felt a little uncomfortable. Women in ancient times sometimes really had no choice but to do what they wanted.

"Don't worry, I will explain the situation to the emperor and will not let you down."

When Aunt Qiao was eight months pregnant, a carriage left the palace, carrying Concubine Liu, who had already died of illness.

Jinjin Qiao really did not let her down. She discussed with Mo Liyuan, gave her enough silver, and arranged for her to become the adopted daughter of the governor of the border town.

Liu Lan'er looked at the palace that was getting smaller and smaller and smiled happily. Although her legs were disabled and she walked with a limp, so what? From now on, she would be free from her father's control and would no longer have to contribute to the family.

Liu Lan'er murmured, "My Queen, I wish you a safe birth."

Zuo'er: "Miss, where are we going?"

Liu Lan'er took Zuo'er's hand, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the border town. General Zhao is there. I want to give it a try. If he has a wife, then we can travel around the world."
