Chapter 298 Not a Short-lived Ghost
Several eyes fell on her. Yu Qinghuan knew what they were waiting for. The corners of her mouth curved up as she spoke, "My full name is Zhaoning, Yu Zhaoning."
May my child live a peaceful and prosperous life.
Upon hearing this, Mu Huaian and Xie Zhili were both stunned.
Yes, she had no intention of getting married, so the child would naturally take her surname.
Cheng Gongjin understood that she had rejected his earlier suggestion to have the child registered under her name and included in the Cheng family tree.
Sang Ru still felt it was a pity. The character Cheng was such a good name. With the surname Cheng, the child would be born rich and powerful.
Mother Xu was surprised. This was the Cheng Mansion, so why did the child take Madam Yu's surname? Could it be that the child was not Lord Cheng's?
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes to look at the child in his arms and said calmly, "What a nice name."
His voice instantly brought Mu Huaian and Xie Zhili back to their senses.
Facing Shangyu Qinghuan's gaze, Mu Huaian smiled slightly, "The name you gave your daughter is very nice."
Xie Zhili let out a soft hum, "As long as it sounds nice, I chose the name along with you."
Mu Huaian ignored him and pretended not to hear what he said. It didn't matter who named her, as the daughter was his anyway.
Yu Qinghuan had always known that Xie Zhili was very shameless, but she had never expected that he could even get involved in this matter.
At that time, I was flipping through a book, thinking of a good name for my child. He happened to come over and saw it. How did it become the same as the name I chose?
After a while, Doctor Li came, drove everyone out, took Yu Qinghuan's pulse, prescribed medicine, and told her to rest and recuperate.
Just as he was leaving, Yu Qinghuan asked tentatively, "Doctor Li, has the poison in Cheng Gongjin's body been acting up recently?"
Last month, Cheng Gongjin was with her every day, but in recent days, Cheng Gongjin appeared less and less frequently. Seeing that he didn't look very well just now, she had an uneasy feeling in her heart.
Doctor Li hesitated for a moment. In the past two months, Cheng Gongjin's health condition had been getting worse and worse. He had just suffered an attack of poison at the beginning of the month and almost died, but was dragged back by him.
Even though he looks fine now, his foundation is empty. If the poison in his body is not removed, he may not survive for more than three months.
He searched through ancient books and studied the method of detoxification. Although he didn't know what kind of poison was in Cheng Gongjin's body, in order to cure it completely, he had to drive the poison out of his body. However, without the mother poison, this was difficult.
Unless you know what the trigger of this insect is.
The person who put the poison in the body is dead, and the whereabouts of the mother poison are unknown. Now, the only person who knows how to expel the child poison from the body is probably Emperor Xiao in the palace.
But given Cheng Gongjin's personality, how could he possibly ask that person in the palace? He even warned him not to tell Miss Yu about this matter.
Obviously ready to die.
Everyone has his own destiny, but Cheng Gongjin saved his life, so how could he just watch him die?
Thinking of this, Doctor Li looked around, lowered his voice, and told the story.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. "You mean, Cheng Gongjin wasn't infected with a cold poison, but a Gu poison?"
Doctor Li nodded, "Nowadays, I'm afraid the only one who knows how to cure the poison is His Majesty."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Qinghuan twice more. He had heard a lot of rumors in the capital in recent days. They all said that the man in the palace was in love with the young lady Yu in front of him.
If Miss Yu could find out the solution to the poison from Emperor Xiao...
Yu Qinghuan is not a fool. It is impossible for Doctor Li to answer anyone who asks about Cheng Gongjin's condition.
He told himself that he knew something and felt that he could find a way to save Cheng Gongjin from Xiao Jinghe.
Even Doctor Li thought that Yu Qinghuan could find a way to save Cheng Gongjin from Xiao Jinghe, but Cheng Gongjin himself didn't mention a word about it in front of him.
This guy... is so stubborn.
Although Doctor Li was not a person who could read people's expressions, he vaguely sensed that Miss Yu still had some feelings for Cheng Gongjin. Although it was not kind of him to hint to her to go to Emperor Xiao, to him, Cheng Gongjin's life was the most important.
He picked up the medicine box and left, instructing the people in the yard and the people in the house to rest quietly and not make any noise.
When Sang Ru entered the room, she was startled to see that Yu Qinghuan didn't respond. She subconsciously reached out to check her breath, and found that she was just asleep, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She covered Yu Qinghuan with a blanket, gently closed the door and windows to prevent the wind from blowing into the house, and then stood by.
At this moment, Yu Qinghuan was in a confused state of mind while sleeping. She felt as if something was pulling her. She struggled to break free from the restraints. Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared. When she opened her eyes again, she saw everything in front of her and was stunned.
They were still in the same room, but the furnishings were completely different, and Sang Ru was gone.
She walked to the door and wanted to push it open to look for someone, but the hand she stretched out actually went through the door and window!
Yu Qing was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly. At this moment, there was a loud commotion, the door was kicked open, and a group of soldiers rushed into the house, rummaging through the drawers and collecting valuables into the boxes.
She collapsed on the ground, staring at the scene blankly. Didn’t she just give birth to a child?
"Be quick!"
The leading officer kicked over the incense burner on the table, urged the people below, and seeing that there was nothing valuable in the room, he ran away to other places.
The officers and soldiers in the room searched the room, occasionally finding a good thing and stuffing it into their arms. "This high-ranking official is different. He hides so many good things!"
The man next to him sneered, "So what if he's a high-ranking official? He's still a short-lived ghost. He conspired with the late Crown Prince to rebel, and even the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion was implicated and killed."
"I don't know if it's stupid or not, but he actually dared to go against the royal family. He really wants his life to be too long."
Yu Qinghuan's ears were buzzing, as if he was struck by lightning. Was he dead?
"Did the former crown prince really rebel?"
"Shh!" The person next to him suddenly lowered his voice, "Are you guys going to die? How dare you talk about this?!"
From these people's words, Yu Qinghuan realized something, but she was not quite sure. She stood up from the ground and walked quickly outside. As she walked, she actually floated up.
All the servants in the Cheng Mansion were taken away, and anyone who intended to resist was killed on the spot.
Looking at the scene before her, she was certain that she had returned to her previous life and was now just a soul.
At this time, Cheng Gongjin had already died, and the emperor was still the old emperor. After Cheng Gongjin's death, the people of Duke Dingguo's Mansion were imprisoned by the old emperor on charges of treason and were executed today.
When Yu Qinghuan floated onto the street, he heard many people discussing recent events in the capital. The former Crown Prince Xiao Jinghe was deposed and attempted to rebel, and was imprisoned. The current crown prince was Prince Rui.
She arrived at the execution ground unknowingly.
On the execution ground, a familiar person was forced to kneel there, with not a single spot on his body intact. His prison uniform was soaked in blood, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of torture.
"Huai'an..."
Yu Qinghuan's eyes turned red. She had never seen Mu Huaian in such a miserable state.
