Chapter 250: Clearing the Relationship
"Jiahe, Jiahe..."
The woman on the bed woke up from her coma and kept shouting, calling out the name of her only child.
Hearing the voice of Princess Duanjing coming from the room, Princess Jiahe ran in immediately.
As soon as I came in, I saw the woman slowly sitting up straight: "Mom, you finally woke up."
The imperial physician at the side also stood up immediately, bowed to Princess Jiahe, and said, "My lord, the princess is fine now, thanks to the man who tested the needle. If not for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to save her!"
Hearing this, Princess Jiahe nodded somewhat unnaturally. After the imperial physician left, Princess Duanjing called out to Princess Jiahe and sat on her bed: "This Xu Miaomiao, I have targeted him several times, but I didn't expect that she is still willing to save me. It seems that she is also a kind-hearted child."
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Princess Jiahe was a little unhappy when she heard Princess Duanjing say that. She said, "Have you forgotten that if it weren't for her, Nangong Jin would treat her like this, and her life wouldn't be so miserable now? It's just that Xu Miaomiao is used to using such tricks. I'm afraid that she is just pretending to be kind and virtuous for you."
Princess Duan Jing remained silent upon hearing this. She knew her daughter best. She seemed to remember something and immediately spoke when she saw Jia He, "Oh, right, she saved me before I passed out. Where is she now? Regardless of anything else, she saved me. For the sake of the reputation of Prince Jing's Mansion, I should also reward her."
Hearing the woman's question, Princess Jiahe was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she immediately said, "She, she left when she saw that you had nothing to do. I saw that she was so anxious, so I thought she had something to do and did not try to keep her."
"So that's how it is!" Princess Duan Jing nodded. Unfortunately, how could Princess Jiahe's little thoughts be hidden from her? She immediately called the maid beside her and asked, "Where is Madam Xu?"
The maid looked at Princess Jiahe and then at Princess Duanjing, hesitating and not daring to speak.
"Why, can't you tell who your master is?"
Princess Duan Jing slapped the table angrily.
Seeing this, the maid immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Replying to the princess, the princess beat her twenty feet and locked her in the back room."
“This is just nonsense!”
Hearing this, Princess Duanjing became angry again and looked at Princess Jiahe with some displeasure.
Princess Jiahe immediately knelt on the ground and apologized to the woman in front of her: "My mother was dizzy at the time, and she randomly gave her acupuncture. I was also anxious, thinking that she was holding a grudge and wanted to murder my mother, so I asked someone to beat her. Mother, please don't be angry with me. Jiahe knows I was wrong."
After all, she was her own daughter, and Princess Duanjing couldn't bear to blame her.
He stood up and said, "Where is the person being held? Take me to see it."
Seeing this, the maidservant beside her immediately brought an outer robe and put it on the woman, and Princess Duanjing immediately walked towards the back room.
The pain in her back made Xu Miaomiao briefly sober. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she was in a thatched house. Just as she was about to struggle to get up, there was a sound from the door frame.
The next moment, light came out from the crack in the door. When the door was opened, Princess Jiahe walked in, supporting Princess Duanjing.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao like this, Princess Duan Jing looked at the servants behind her angrily and said, "Come here, why don't you call Madam Xu to go to the guest room for treatment."
Xu Miaomiao was so weak that she couldn't utter a word. She was then helped into the house. A maid gave her two sips of water, and only then could she utter a few words with difficulty.
Princess Duan Jing looked at her and said, "Madam Xu, we were wrong in this matter, but you gave me acupuncture without my consent. Jiahe did this to protect the royal bloodline. Now I don't care about your mistakes, and you don't blame her. Let's stop here. Do you have any objections?"
Xu Miaomiao coughed twice and said, "Since the princess says so, Miaomiao has no objection."
Xu Miaomiao responded somewhat weakly.
Hearing that she agreed, Princess Duan Jing immediately ordered the maid beside her: "Come here, send Madam Xu back to the Song Mansion."
After saying that, he turned and left. Xu Miaomiao was supported by someone and walked out slowly. When she saw the dazzling sunlight outside the house, she was a little at a loss. She thought she would die here today. It seems that she is lucky!
The maid helped Xu Miaomiao to the outside of Prince Jing's mansion. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, she went back to report.
Xu Miaomiao was wandering in the street like a wandering soul. The pain in her body almost made her unable to hold on. Suddenly, everything in front of her eyes went dark and she fell straight forward. Just when her body was about to touch the ground, a pair of strong hands stopped her. Before Xu Miaomiao fainted, she looked at the face in front of her and spoke tremblingly: "Mr. Nangong..."
Seeing her so weak, Nangong Jin's heart tightened. He immediately picked up Xu Miaomiao by the waist and hurried back to Nangong Mansion.
When he got home, he immediately invited the imperial physician to see him.
Xu Miaomiao slowly woke up again and saw Nangong Jin standing guard in front of the bed.
When Nangong Jin saw her wake up, he immediately handed her a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Mr. Nangong."
"No need to thank me." Nangong Jin said coldly, "However, how could you have tortured yourself into this state? Who hit you?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head, unwilling to answer his question. She originally wanted to repay Nangong Jin a favor, but unexpectedly owed him another favor today. When would she be able to repay him?
Seeing that she remained silent, Nangong Jin didn't want to force her, so he just sat quietly beside her and watched over her.
"Oh, right." As if remembering something, Xu Miaomiao looked at Nangong Jin and said, "I visited Mr. Zhuang today. She is doing fine. Although she can no longer see, her heart is very clear. She also told Mr. Nangong not to worry about him anymore."
Hearing this, Nangong Jin's pupils instantly dilated, and his hand holding the cup became tighter and tighter. He did not answer Xu Miaomiao's words, but murmured to himself, "So you were injured by Princess Duan Jing."
Xu Miaomiao was a little anxious and immediately shook her head: "Miaomiao was the one who committed the crime of insubordination. I didn't think clearly about the consequences of the matter. I deserve to be punished."
Nangong Jin remained silent.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the dark sky outside and said, "It's getting late. I should go home."
"You are seriously injured now. I have sent someone to park the carriage to take you back."
"No need to trouble Mr. Nangong." Xu Miaomiao said as she put down the teacup in her hand and was about to get up and leave.
Nangong Jin looked at her back and finally spoke out the doubts in his heart: "Do you really want to cut off your relationship with me?"
