Chapter 222 Revenge

Zhao Xueer was heartbroken and wanted to make up for her son.

She bought some things and went back to see Deng Yong.

"Mother has money now. I can support you. Please come with me." She begged him bitterly.

But Deng Yong was unwilling to leave her.

"Auntie, you've got the wrong person. My last name is Deng, not Xu. I want to take care of my godfather until he retires."

Zhao Xueer was heartbroken. She held Deng Yong's hand and refused to let go, crying and asking, "What do you want me to do to forgive you?"

She would never have children in the future. Her parents had died long ago, and Deng Yong was the only relative connected to her by blood in the world.

She couldn't accept Deng Yong's indifference to her.

"Many things can't be undone. Don't come to me anymore." Deng Yongshi refused to call her mother.

He had looked forward to the reunion of his family of three day and night, and he had also prayed to his parents to save him when he was bullied by the old eunuchs in the palace.

But none of them showed up.

He doesn't want them now either.

"I can go back, why can't I go back? Yong'er, you are my only son, I will find a way to make you forgive me." Zhao Xueer did not give up on her son.

She decided to avenge her son.

The person she hated the most was Xu Mingting.

She asked around and after learning of Xu Mingting's death, she began to harbor hatred towards the eldest princess.

She lost her son and her hope for the future. Only hatred could keep her alive.

It’s all Lu Yao’s fault.

If Lu Yao hadn't organized that imperial consort selection contest, why would Xu Mingting have sent his son to the palace to be a eunuch to help convey their love?

So Zhao Xueer spent half a year working as a kitchen staff in the Grand Princess's mansion.

She originally wanted to poison Lu Yao's food, but the prince consort was watching closely and had someone to test the poison, so this plan didn't work.

As the New Year was approaching, Zhao Xueer lost her patience and wanted to kill Lu Yao as soon as possible so that she could reunite with her son.

She wanted to tell him that she had avenged him.

So she thought about it and decided to tamper with Lu Yao's greenhouse.

Lu Yao would go to that place to check almost every day. She would definitely not be too cautious if she took action there.

She chose the most painful method for herself at that time.

She had lost her child, and she also wanted Lu Yao to experience the feeling of losing a child.

[This woman is crazy. It was clearly Xu Mingting's fault, but why is she blaming it on my eldest sister?]

Lu Li is going crazy.

If the Queen Mother had not delivered something to the Imperial Sister today and she had not arrived in time, the Imperial Sister would have fallen and something serious would have happened.

"How's the eldest princess?" Pei Zhiyu hurried over and asked anxiously.

"It's giving birth." Yunlan replied quickly.

"Who dared to harm the princess? Have you found out?" Pei Zhiyu's eyes were filled with anger.

"Not yet, we're still investigating." Yunlan felt cold sweat on her back.

The prince consort looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"It hurts." Lu Yao's scream came from the room.

"Princess, please bear with it. Giving birth is bound to be painful. Let's hold back this energy first, so that we won't be too weak when giving birth later." The midwife calmed Lu Yao down while comforting her.

But this kind of severe pain was really unbearable, and Lu Yao couldn't help but scream out again.

Pei Zhiyu, who was standing at the door, couldn't sit still anymore and immediately wanted to rush in to see Lu Yao.

"Prince Consort, you can't do that!" The person at the door hurriedly stopped him.

"Men cannot enter a woman's birth chamber. The dark energy during childbirth will affect your health and future."

"Get out of here. Princess is my future." Pei Zhiyu pushed away the people who were blocking him, rushed in directly, and held Lu Yao's hand.

"Princess, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side. For life after life, we will never be apart." He looked at Lu Yao, who was already sweating profusely, and tears kept flowing out of his eyes.

Lu Yao didn't expect him to come in. She was so surprised that she even forgot to scream in pain.

"Princess, breathe in, push hard, the head is about to pop out." The midwife didn't expect that Pei Zhiyu would bring such a surprise when he came in.

The baby that was hiding in the belly suddenly showed its head.

Lu Yao didn't bother to talk to Pei Zhiyu. She took a deep breath, listened to the midwife's instructions, and continued to push.

She held Pei Zhiyu's hand tightly. His sudden appearance gave her unlimited courage.

The one she loves is right beside her, so she has nothing to be afraid of.

"Oh, what's going on?" The nanny who was holding Pei Zhiyu stomped her feet and had to close the door again.

…

Lu Li, who was outside the door, originally wanted to ask the prince consort to arrest Zhao Xueer, but the prince consort came and rushed in to accompany the eldest princess without saying a word.

Helpless, Lu Li could only give orders himself.

"Fifteen, go to the kitchen and capture a woman named Xue Zhaoer. She is wearing an indigo shirt today." Lu Li already knew the alias Zhao Xueer used in the princess's mansion, and immediately ordered the secret guards to follow him.

"Yes." Fifteen responded without hesitation.

The secret guards carry out orders without asking reasons; they just do what their master tells them to do.

He didn't know why the Ninth Princess knew there was such a person in the kitchen without going there, but there must be a reason why the Ninth Princess asked him to catch him.

Fifteen was very efficient and he caught the man in just a moment.

When he arrested people, Zhao Xueer was still cutting vegetables.

She was very excited when she heard that Lu Yao had fallen, and was waiting for the final result in the kitchen. Lu Yao was so old, and if she fell, only one person would survive.

I just don’t know whether Lu Yao was lucky or the unborn child was lucky.

"Xue Zhaoer?" Fifteen found the woman described by Lu Li at a glance.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Zhao Xueer pretended to be calm.

Before she could guess who the person was, the other person roughly tied her hands behind her back and tied them with a rope.

"Who are you? This is the princess's mansion, how dare you commit a crime in public? Someone come, help me." Zhao Xueer struggled.

Fifteen thought she was being too nagging, so he took a quick look and found a large, old rag in the corner of the stove. He picked it up and stuffed it into Zhao Xueer's mouth.

Zhao Xueer: !!!

Damn it, she was going to fight this man.

That was the stoveman Wu's handkerchief, he loved to use it to blow his nose. This handkerchief was probably covered with his snot.

She tried to yell, but couldn't. Her stomach churned and she wanted to vomit, but Fifteen pulled her back and tilted her head back, so that the food she wanted to vomit was swallowed back.

Fifteen was very satisfied with his masterpiece, so he grabbed her and went to see Lu Li.

When he brought the person there, Shen Liuzheng also arrived.

Xia Shuyi was the mother of a country and could not leave the palace at will, but concubines with official positions could.

So she asked Shen Liuzheng to come to the Grand Princess's Mansion to see what was going on.

Who is so bold as to assassinate the princess?

"What's going on?" When Shen Liuzheng arrived, he saw Zhao Xueer with her hands tied and her mouth gagged.
