Chapter 357: You're responsible for your own mistakes
Lu Xiang staggered back a step.
She was pushed down by the Second Imperial Concubine because she was shocked by her pregnancy. When she raised her hand and was about to fall, she raised her hand with a cold expression and grabbed the Second Imperial Concubine's wrist. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light: "Second Imperial Concubine, even if the Liu family and the Lu family are not in harmony, you can't push the crime onto me just because something happened. As an imperial concubine, you represent the face of the royal family. Don't you need evidence before you convict someone? Just because you opened your mouth and said it?"
As he said that, Lu Xiang shook off the Second Princess's hand and looked at this crazy-looking woman with sarcasm.
This is what it means to bring disaster upon yourself.
She deliberately planned to harm the Sixth Princess's child just to plot against herself, but in the end she lost her own child.
Lu Xiang had no sympathy for the Second Imperial Concubine.
You reap what you sow.
The Second Princess couldn't believe that Lu Xiang dared to shake off her hand. She was so angry that her chest heaved violently. The pain of losing her child ignited a raging fire in her heart, and she wished she could burn the girl in front of her to ashes.
"It was you. You led me to the river and let the dumplings pounce on me. Otherwise, how could I fall into the water?"
The Second Princess' roar almost blew the roof off. She stared at Lu Xiang with bloodshot eyes. The scratches on her face from the white cat looked horrifying.
Lu Xiang sneered, "The Second Imperial Concubine has gone to great lengths to slander me. The maidservant next to you when the incident happened was from the Third Prince's mansion. How could I have bribed the servants from the Third Prince's mansion to do things for me? How could I have the ability to order a cat to harm you?"
Well, she doesn’t have the ability, but Chu Jinyan does.
"Jingshu, stop messing around." The Second Prince walked up to the Second Princess, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said gently, "You just had a miscarriage and your body is still weak. Go lie down on the bed. I'll have someone come and change your dirty clothes."
Just now, because no one knew where the Second Princess was injured, no one dared to touch her, leaving her wearing wet and bloodstained clothes.
"Your Highness." The Second Imperial Concubine looked at the Second Prince with a sad look in her eyes: "Child, our child is gone. It's all her fault, it's all that bitch Lu Xiang's fault." She broke down and cried loudly, not caring about her image anymore.
If she were a beauty, she would be adorable when she cried with tears in her eyes. But at this moment, the Second Imperial Concubine looked so miserable, with scars from cat claws on her face. There was no beauty in her at all. She was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.
"You are so sad that you are talking nonsense." Chu Chengli looked at the Second Imperial Concubine deeply, his eyes as deep as a pool deepened, rippling with layers of ripples: "Stop making trouble, let the imperial physician take a good look."
The Second Princess looked into Chu Chengli's eyes which were filled with cruelty, her heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale and she remained silent.
Chu Chengli helped the man back to the bed, but looking at the pool of blood, he couldn't lie down at all.
"Third sister-in-law, please ask someone to change the bed." He said to the Third Princess.
The Third Imperial Concubine hurriedly asked someone to make arrangements: "Sorry, I was negligent."
She was still thinking about what the Second Princess had said. If she hadn't seen the claw marks on her face, the Third Princess would have thought that the Second Princess was talking nonsense. But now she couldn't refute it.
Although she didn't know why the Second Princess said that Lu Xiang harmed her, it was a fact that the cat's claws hurt the Second Princess, and the Third Princess felt guilty for no reason.
There were spare beds in the room, and the maids quickly replaced the dirty ones.
Linglong took some clean clothes and changed the bloody clothes for the Second Princess, and everyone left the room.
Outside the window, clusters of flowers are blooming luxuriantly, their reflections reflected on the cicada-wing gauze curtains. The branches sway in the wind, and the scenery is beautiful.
But at this moment, no one had any intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery. They were all stunned by the words of the Second Princess.
Some people thought that the Second Imperial Concubine was talking nonsense because she was too sad about her miscarriage. She accused anyone she disliked of harming her child. But some people secretly wondered if there was another hidden story, otherwise why would the Second Imperial Concubine accuse Lu Xiang so directly regardless of the occasion.
Because of the Second Prince's comfort, the Second Princess stopped making a fuss and just lay on the bed crying silently. The wound on her face was not serious, but she needed to take good care of her body as she had lost weight from the miscarriage.
"Princess, wuwuwu, don't be sad, we will still have children." Linglong knelt beside the bed, looking at the Second Princess and cried.
The Second Imperial Concubine looked at the curtain above her head, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred.
Will there be any more?
She had been begging for this one child for several years, and now she's gone. Does she still have a chance to get pregnant again?
She is unwilling to accept this!
Now the Second Prince has only two concubine daughters. If this child is still alive, he will be the eldest son, but now he is gone. Liu Anhui will enter the palace soon. If she gives birth to the eldest son, her position as the main wife will be shaky.
It was all Lu Xiang’s fault. She was the one who killed her child.
The Second Princess couldn't understand why Lu Xiang let Tuanzi pounce on her, but it didn't matter because her intuition told her that this was Lu Xiang's revenge.
The Second Princess was filled with hatred to the point that her blood was burning. The hatred for the loss of her son was irreconcilable.
In the small hall of the attic, the Second Prince and others were sitting, while the rest of the people stood in two rows, with the maid who was accompanying the Second Princess at the time kneeling in the middle.
"Tell me, what's going on?" The Third Princess said angrily, holding a handkerchief.
If she doesn't investigate thoroughly, she will be charged with murdering the Second Imperial Concubine's child.
The little maid shivered, looked up at the masters, and said in panic: "My master, I accompanied the Second Imperial Concubine to the garden to look for Tuanzi. I saw it on the shore, so I picked it up. The Second Imperial Concubine asked me to give it to her. As soon as I stretched out my hand, Tuanzi suddenly became violent and broke free from my hand, and rushed directly towards the Second Imperial Concubine. Tuanzi scratched her, and she fell into the water because she couldn't stand firmly due to the shock."
When the Sixth Princess heard the cat pounce on her, she touched her belly with lingering fear and decided that she should leave early. If the cat suddenly went crazy and pounced on her, her child would be in danger.
We managed to save the fetus with great difficulty, so we must not make any mistakes.
The Third Princess almost lost her seat when she heard this. It sounded like her cat was the one that caused the disaster.
"Why did Second Princess go looking for my cat? Didn't I tell you to lock up Tuanzi?"
Many people came today, and not everyone likes cats. The Third Princess was also afraid that someone who was afraid of cats might bump into them, so she didn't want to offend anyone when holding a banquet.
Without waiting for the little maid to speak, Lu Xiang suddenly came out, bowed to the Third Imperial Concubine and the others, and said, "Replying to the Third Imperial Concubine, I asked her to call the Second Imperial Concubine, because Tuanzi was the cat that the Second Imperial Concubine asked me to take care of, and it suddenly disappeared. I didn't expect it to be the Third Imperial Concubine's cat."
Lu Xiang lied with her eyes open, not afraid that the Second Imperial Concubine would expose her.
There was no one else in the pavilion at that time, so who knows whether the Second Princess actually said this.
Moreover, Lu Xiang asked the maid to ask her to go find the cat, and she went to find it. This behavior itself was quite puzzling, so no one doubted Lu Xiang's words.
