Chapter 361 Failed Again
Liu Anyao had been sending people to follow the news from the Third Prince's Mansion. As long as they heard that Lu Xiang was in trouble, they would come back and report to her immediately so that she could celebrate as soon as possible.
The one who was asking for the news was a servant, who hurried to the main courtyard. The maid in the main courtyard led her into the house. Seeing this, Liu Anyao immediately stood up from the stool with joy: "What's going on? Did Lu Xiang get into trouble?"
The servant shook his head solemnly and said, "Madam, Miss Lu San is fine and has left safely. The one who got into trouble is the Second Imperial Concubine."
"What?" Liu Anyao exclaimed, and looked at Shumiao in surprise: "What happened to the Second Imperial Concubine?"
The servant replied, "The Third Concubine's cat suddenly pounced on the Second Concubine and scratched her face. The Second Concubine was startled and fell into the water. When she was rescued, the imperial physician said she had a miscarriage."
Liu Anyao was shocked when she heard this.
"Miscarriage..." she said hesitantly.
My heart felt like it was filled with turmoil. How could this happen?
It was obviously Lu Xiang who was in trouble.
She was frightened while holding the white cat, and finally pounced on the Sixth Princess. Even if it was a miscarriage, it should be the Sixth Princess who had a miscarriage, and then Lu Xiang would be punished, and maybe even his life would be in danger. From then on, apart from this thorn in her side, no one dared to go against her anymore.
Why was it the second imperial concubine who had a miscarriage in the end?
The news of the Second Princess' pregnancy was not revealed at all.
The servant seemed to see through Liu Anyao's doubts and said, "The Second Imperial Concubine herself didn't know she was pregnant. She was greatly shocked after the incident and accused Third Miss Lu of harming her. However, Third Miss Lu had evidence of her absence and said that the Second Imperial Concubine asked her to take care of the white cat. She never said that it belonged to the Third Imperial Concubine. So when the cat suddenly disappeared, she asked the Second Imperial Concubine to look for it. If the Second Imperial Concubine hadn't gone, this wouldn't have happened."
The servant was only following Liu Anyao's orders. When the Madam asked her to monitor Miss Lu San, he went to keep an eye on her. As for the Second Imperial Concubine's plan, he didn't know about it. Liu Anyao wasn't bold enough to let a servant know about this.
Liu Anyao was only shocked for a moment about the Second Imperial Concubine's miscarriage, but was soon filled with anger.
Failed, failed again.
"Damn it." Losing control for a moment, Liu Anyao angrily swept the things on the table away, and the plates smashed into pieces.
The servant was startled and kept silent with his head down.
He thought that the lady was angry on behalf of the Second Imperial Concubine because she had a miscarriage.
"You step back first." Shuhua said to the servant.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." The servant bowed to Liu Anyao and left the main courtyard.
There was no one in the room, so Liu Anyao could no longer suppress her anger. She became gloomy, cold, and ruthless.
"Time and time again, even the Second Imperial Concubine can't get rid of her?"
"Madam, Miss Lu San is more troublesome than we thought. It seems that we should not act rashly again. If we fail to hit her next time, we will probably get into trouble." Shuhua said with fear in his eyes.
Previously, her wife had tried to destroy Lu Xiang's innocence, but in the end she shot herself in the foot and became a laughing stock in the capital. If the eldest young master had not taken the initiative to propose marriage, her wife would not know which nunnery she would have to live out the rest of her life in.
She wanted to bribe Aunt Yao of the Lu family to do it for her, but Aunt Yao was exposed and ended up with a miserable death.
Today, the Madam even persuaded the Second Imperial Concubine to take action, and thought it would be foolproof. However, Lu Xiang escaped the disaster again, but the Second Imperial Concubine suffered a miscarriage.
Shuhua didn't dare to think whether this was Lu Xiang's work. If so, then this woman was really terrifying.
It must have been an accident, it couldn't have been Miss Lu San's.
That's the Third Prince's Mansion. Even if she had the guts to plot against the Second Princess, no one in the Third Prince's Mansion would be used by her.
Shuhua could never have imagined that Lu Xiang not only dared to fight back, but also had the help of Chu Jinyan.
Liu Anyao was so angry that her throat felt like it was burning: "Next time, I will definitely make her lose her reputation and make her life worse than death."
At the same time, in the Second Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Chengli took the Second Imperial Concubine away, and the Imperial Physician followed them. At this moment, he was sitting in front of the bed, taking the Second Imperial Concubine's pulse again.
Just now, because there were so many people around and the Second Imperial Concubine was in an unstable mood, the Second Prince was worried and asked the Imperial Physician to take a closer look.
The prince has given an order, so as the imperial physician he naturally cannot disobey it.
Perhaps it was because she was too emotional before, or because her body was already hurt after the miscarriage, so as soon as she got on the carriage, the Second Princess fainted again.
Chu Chengli just stood aside, and Concubine Xu did not return to her own courtyard.
"Your Highness, the Second Imperial Concubine has lost her energy and blood due to a miscarriage, so she needs to take good care of herself. The scratches on her face are not deep, and they will heal if you apply ointment every time. It all depends on your mood. Please comfort her and she will have another child once she recovers."
"Okay, I understand. I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Han to prescribe a prescription for the imperial concubine to take good care of her body."
The imperial physician bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Chu Chengli waved to Imperial Physician Han, who took his medicine box and respectfully bowed and left.
"You stay with the princess, I'll come back later."
Chu Chengli said to Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu bowed and replied, "Your Highness, please go and do your work. If the imperial concubine wakes up, I will comfort the second imperial concubine."
Chu Chengli nodded slightly, glanced at the Second Imperial Concubine, and then left.
The Second Imperial Concubine slept until the sun set before she woke up. Seeing this, Concubine Xu said happily, "The Imperial Concubine is awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Then she turned around and ordered the servants, "Quick, bring the boiled medicine."
Soon, the maid came into the room with medicine.
Concubine Xu took the medicine bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, asked the maid to help the Second Imperial Concubine sit up, and she took the spoon and prepared to feed the medicine to the Second Imperial Concubine herself.
The Second Imperial Concubine looked at Concubine Xu coldly and did not drink.
"Where's Linglong?"
Concubine Xu sighed softly, "Linglong failed to take good care of the imperial concubine, and was punished by His Highness with fifty strokes of the cane. She is now in her room, and I heard that she is half dead."
The Second Princess heard a hint of gloating in her calm tone.
She glared at Concubine Xu angrily and raised her hand to knock over the medicine bowl in her hand: "Asshole, who allowed you to sit on my bed?"
The medicine spilled all over the floor, and a lot of it landed on Concubine Xu's hands.
Concubine Xu's eyes flickered, and she calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped the medicine on her hands: "Second Imperial Concubine, calm down. It was His Highness who ordered me to stay and counsel the Imperial Concubine. I feel sorry for the Second Imperial Concubine because her child is gone, but the imperial physician said that she will have another child if she recovers."
For Erhuangdao, who had just lost her child, Concubine Xu's words were undoubtedly like stabbing her wounded heart again.
Concubine Xu would feel sorry for the child she lost, don't joke.
Her child was gone, and the happiest person in the mansion was Concubine Xu.
