Chapter 731 Unable to Give Birth
"Even if she can't give birth to the child, there are still so many imperial doctors. Why do you want to bring trouble upon yourself? Besides, what will you do if someone blames you? After all, the child of the Jiahe group leader is lost in your hands."
As Gu Yuanniang spoke these words, she became more and more anxious. She was always honest and had some dignity, so she knew a little about the rules of the capital.
Gu Yuanniang was also brought up in pampered condition since she was young. With Madam Gu around, she was naturally well protected. It was a pity that after all, they were people living in a large mansion, so they were not surprised by such things. They just listened to what Gu Yuanniang said.
Xu Miaomiao was anxious, but didn't say anything.
"I asked her to do this. If there is anything, let me do it."
Suddenly a voice was heard outside, and Nangong Jin walked in slowly. He was wearing a blue robe and his hair was put up high, looking very capable. His fair skin looked even darker in the sunlight. Although spotless, he did not lack a bit of heroism, like a young man wandering the world. When he saw outsiders, Xu Xi immediately hid behind Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang and did not speak.
Lu Yun's eyes lit up at the side, and he immediately saluted Nangong Jin, who also nodded slightly at her. Lu Yun could hardly take his eyes off Nangong Jin. He had heard a lot about the heroic deeds of this great Nangong Xiang in Nanxiang. Although he was a scholar and would definitely be a civil servant in the future, this male Xiang had as much knowledge of literature as him. It was just because most of his family members practiced martial arts that he became a military general. Seeing the real person today, Lu Yun couldn't help but admire him. It would be his blessing if he could learn a thing or two from Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin just stared at Xu Miaomiao and said, "It was indeed me who asked Madam Xu to do what happened today, so no matter what happens, I will ensure that you will be safe."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly to him, and Nangong Jin continued, "Besides, what happened today was indeed that Jiahe was ill. If it weren't for you, she would have died a long time ago. It should be Princess Jiahe who came to thank you for saving her life. How could she have the heart to blame you? I will explain this matter to the housekeeper and Princess Duanjing."
"What do you want to tell me?"
A steady and serious voice sounded. Princess Duan Jing was wearing a green dress. The jewelry on her head began to sway because she hurried over. She stared at Nangong Jin with a bad look. Everyone present saluted her. Princess Duan Jing glanced at her, then walked aside angrily and sat down in the main seat. Then she looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "It was you who killed my daughter's child."
Xu Miaomiao and Mo Yan looked at Princess Duanjin and immediately explained, "To reply Princess, if Princess Jiahe's child is not aborted, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."
"Then why was she fine for five months of pregnancy, but she got sick when you came?"
Princess Duan Jing raised her eyebrows when she said this, tilted her head and looked at Xu Miaomiao for a while, then she said: "I think I have seen you before, was it when we were playing polo?"
Xu Miaomiao and Mo Yan did not say anything. Lu Yun on the side found it strange. Although he came to the capital to take part in the palace examination, he had met so many royal ladies before the examination. Naturally, he was flattered. He just stood behind with Xu Xi and did not say much.
Nangong Jin frowned slightly, but Princess Duanjin continued to speak: "It really is you!"
Unlike the previous sentence, Princess Duan Jing's words carried some affirmation in her tone. Xu Miaomiao frowned when she heard it. Princess Duan Jing and Princess Jiahe had lost face at the polo match before, and it was indeed because of her. Now she had finally hit the nail on the head.
"My daughter is also a member of the royal family. Now that you have taken away her child, she will naturally be punished. I will beat you with forty sticks. Do you have any objection?"
Gu Yuan's mother, after hearing what you said, she looked up in surprise. Ten sticks are already the limit for an ordinary woman. Forty sticks, Xu Miaomiao will be beaten to death. Princess Duan Jing, you are just as the rumors say, you cannot tolerate any grain of sand in your eyes. Now, you are going to kill a life just because of such a thing.
When Nangong Jin heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and stepped forward, blocking Xu Miaomiao, and said, "Princess Duan Jing, I ordered Madam Xu to treat Princess Jiahe. If you want to punish me, let me punish you."
Hearing Nangong Jin's words, Princess Duan Jing raised her eyebrows, sneered softly, looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Nangong Jin, do you really think I dare not punish you? At the beginning, the emperor gave my daughter to you for marriage, and I thought you would treat her well, but now look at what she has become because of you. Now she even lost the baby in her belly. How can you ignore her just because of an outsider?"
Princess Duanjing looked at Nangong Jin and immediately spoke.
Nangong Jin was indeed not in a hurry, and continued to speak to Princess Duan Jing: "First, it was indeed Madam Xu who saved her. If it weren't for Madam Xu, she would have died of pain even if it hurt. If you don't believe this, you can ask the imperial physician in the palace whether her child can be saved. Second, Madam Xu was my guest, and I asked her to treat Princess Jiahe. If you want to blame someone, blame me. And third."
Nangong Jin took a step forward and spoke in a very low voice into Princess Duan Jing's ear. Although Gu Yuanniang and Lu Yun behind him couldn't hear him, Xu Miaomiao, who was standing next to Nangong Jin, still listened carefully. He lowered his voice, squinted at Princess Duan Jing, and spoke slowly and coldly, "Even if this incident didn't happen, do you think this child could be born?"
Xu Miaomiao's pupils contracted, and she slowly raised her head and looked directly at Princess Duan Jing. Her face changed, and her cheeks, which had just turned red with anger, turned pale and then blue. She clenched her fingers tightly, stood up and wanted to insult Nangong Jin, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time. She could only angrily wave her sleeves and turned away.
After she left, Gu Yuanniang took a deep breath. Nangong Jin smiled at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine, kid. I have tried my best to help you find it. Since it was lost in the inn, it is not safe for you to stay in the inn. You might as well stay in Nangong Mansion first."
