Chapter 460: Blood Passing Method
Ning Wanshuang lost another child.
On February 16, she lost a total of three children.
February is the season when magnolia flowers bloom.
She loved magnolia the most in her life, and she and Xiao Jingheng became acquainted after dancing under a magnolia tree.
Once upon a time, Ning Wanshuang always felt that the spring breeze in February every year should be her happiest, proudest and most glorious day.
Today,
But she could no longer face the joy of the past.
Ning Wanshuang woke up on the second night.
The so-called waking up was nothing more than opening one's eyes and staring blankly at the colorful paintings on the top of the beam.
Liu Yue had been watching over her the whole time. When she saw her wake up, she first cried with joy, and then she said to her in a consoling tone:
"The Emperor used the funeral rites for the firstborn princess to handle the second princess's funeral. Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Actually..."
"Where is Jinyue?" Ning Wanshuang sat up with difficulty and asked blankly.
Liu Yue said weakly: "The second princess' body is enshrined in the Misty Rain Tower..."
Hearing this, Ning Wanshuang suddenly threw back the quilt and rushed out despite Liu Yue's attempts to stop her.
When he reached the door, he turned back and frantically searched for something in the palace.
"What are you looking for, madam? Let me help you!"
"Where are the clothes?" Ning Wanshuang asked almost madly, "Where is the birthday gift I bought for Jinyue? Jinyue loves to be beautiful, I can't let her die in cold shrouds!"
"Here! Here MILF!"
Liu Yue took out new clothes from the closet and handed them to Ning Wanshuang.
Ning Wanshuang held it tightly in her hand and ran towards Yanyu Tower without stopping.
Outside the Misty Rain Tower, she saw Kang Yubing kneeling in a corner.
He held a dagger in his hand, tears streaming down his face, and he was mumbling something.
Ning Wanshuang called him, "What are you going to do?"
"Her Majesty, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine?"
When Kang Yubin saw Ning Wanshuang, his tears flowed even more violently.
He fell to the ground, kowtowed three times to Ning Wanshuang, and then choked up and said:
"I am sorry to the queen and the young master. I deserve to die! I will go down and apologize to the young master right now!"
Seeing him wielding a knife to kill himself, Ning Wanshuang said to him in a gloomy voice,
"You better get out of here and don't dirty Jinyue here."
Kang Yubin was stunned, and the dagger that was already against his chest, he retracted his force.
Ning Wanshuang asked him again, "Let me ask you, you said Jin Yue fainted suddenly, but she never had this problem before, why did she..."
Kang Yubin held back his tears and said, "Since the Queen left the palace and returned home, the Second Princess has been living in the Emperor's palace. The Queen and the Crown Prince go to court every day, and she sends the Third Princess to accompany the Second Princess. Perhaps the two princesses are tired from playing, and they are always tired. The Third Princess often feels tired, and so does the Second Princess."
Ning Wanshuang had seen Jinyue and Ruoxin being naughty and playful together before.
If you play like this every day, it is possible that you will become tired and in poor spirits.
In this case, Ning Wanshuang no longer blamed Kang Yubin, and just said coldly:
"Jin Yue will be buried in the princess' tomb. If you are interested, you can go with her and keep vigil for three years. As for the rest of the time...you will stay outside the palace and find your own way out."
After all, they had been master and servant for many years. Even if Ning Wanshuang resented Kang Yubin, she didn't want to see him lose his life in vain like this.
Kang Yubin was filled with gratitude and thanked Ning Wanshuang for her kindness.
But Ning Wanshuang ignored her and went into the Yanyu Tower.
Jin Yue was enshrined in a golden nanmu coffin, sleeping quietly.
It was just like countless ordinary nights, but now, no matter how Ning Wanshuang called her, she would not wake up.
"Jinyue, look, this is the new dress that your mother bought for you. Does it look good?"
"Mother knows you'll like it. Come, mother, can you change it?"
She no longer shed tears,
Instead, she smiled and chatted with Jin Yue, as if her daughter would respond to her.
With Liu Yue's help, Ning Wanshuang slowly took off the lifeless shroud from the child and carefully put on the red peony clothes for the child.
But at this moment, she glanced inadvertently and suddenly saw a strange bruise on the child's thigh.
The bruises were in patches, and the color should not be obvious.
But because Jin Yue's skin was originally fair, and became even paler after her death, it seemed particularly abrupt.
And that position doesn't look like it would be injured if falling from a height.
Upon closer inspection, Ning Wanshuang discovered that there was a tiny scab hole between the bruises, as if it had been punctured by something sharp.
The more she thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
So after returning to the palace, he immediately summoned Zhang Yuanpan to Yonghe Palace on the grounds of feeling unwell.
When she was examined by Zhang Yuanpan, she did not mention Jin Yue at all, but only described in detail to Zhang Yuanpan what she had seen.
After hearing this, Judge Zhang said, "According to what the queen said, the bruises and wounds look very much like they were caused by blood drawing."
"Blood?"
Ning Wanshuang was stunned for a moment, and a horrible thought immediately occupied her mind.
According to Kang Yubin, Jin Yue, like Ruoxin, had mild fainting symptoms after moving into Chaoyang Palace.
Such symptoms are consistent with the fatigue that ordinary people feel after losing blood.
In addition, the location for blood sampling is so hidden, the wound is so small, it does not hurt or itch, and it will not be noticed during daily bathing.
She didn't dare to think about it any further and just pulled Zhang Yuanpan all the way to Fengluan Palace.
When he arrived, Zhaohua was making arrangements for Jinyue's funeral.
Seeing Ning Wanshuang coming in a hurry, before she could ask if she was okay, she heard Ning Wanshuang ask her,
"Where's Ruoxin?"
Zhao Hua said: "Ruoxin has been crying non-stop since she returned to the palace. She just drank a tranquilizer and was able to fall asleep."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wanshuang didn't say a word to Zhao Hua, turned around and went towards the side hall where Ruoxin lived.
Zhaohua followed her all the way. When he saw her enter the side hall, he stood in front of Ruoxin's bed and slowly lifted up the child's trouser legs.
Ruoxin, who had taken the sedative, was sleeping soundly, and such noise was not enough to wake her up.
Zhao Hua asked curiously, "What do you mean, sister?"
"Look!" Ning Wanshuang exclaimed, and hurriedly pulled Zhaohua to the bedside, pointing at Ruoxin's thigh root and said:
"Look what this is!"
Zhaohua frowned and looked carefully, and actually saw a scab-like pinhole of moderate size on the root of Ruoxin's thigh.
There was a buzzing sound in her head, and she was speechless for a moment.
Ning Wanshuang angrily said, "Song Zhao! Don't you understand? Our child has become Xiao Jingheng's medicine!"
Judge Zhang stepped forward and carefully examined Ruoxin's wound. He also took a breath and said:
"I originally thought that the third princess was suffering from blood deficiency, but I didn't expect that... I have heard that the witch doctors in Miaojiang have a method of healing people, which is to use the blood of their own children, preferably virgins, as a guide for medicine. It is said that this can help people restore their vitality, and it is called... the method of blood circulation."
[Two updates today. My empathy is so strong that I broke down in tears after watching these scenes. Please bear with me. Also, please don’t scold me for why Jin Yue had to die, because the finale is coming soon, and the character arc of Ning Wanshuang needs this kind of plot for the final transformation.]
