Chapter 149 I already have someone I love, he is a star in the sky.
They were pouring in water with ice cubes.
Ji Qingwu stood at the door, frowning as he did so.
In brothels, there are many ways to induce abortion. In addition to administering strong drugs, there is also the method of vigorously pounding the waist with a washing mallet. This ice water sitz bath is also one of them.
Duan Mingfeng's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the child in her womb is, after all, Lord Li's child. Aren't you afraid of damaging your relationship with Lord Li by being so indifferent?"
Princess Qingyun curled her lips into a cold smile, her eyes flashing with disdain.
"Lord Duan's desire to be a hero and save the beauty is commendable, but I'm afraid this courtesan doesn't even have a place for you in her heart."
Mo Lingling's cries of pain grew louder and louder. Duan Mingfeng stopped talking and suddenly shoved an old woman aside.
Princess Qingyun pointed at him angrily and said, "When did it become your place to tell me what to do! Guards, take Duan Shisi out!"
Several guards standing behind Qingyun surrounded him, and Duan Mingfeng's hand was already on the soft sword at his waist.
Ji Qingwu's gaze never left Mo Lingling, noticing that she seemed about to collapse.
She pushed open the door and walked quickly to the bathtub.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the woman suddenly burst in, passing by like a gentle breeze.
Ji Qingwu asked, "How are you? Can you still hold on?"
Mo Lingling was somewhat disoriented, and Ji Qingwu patted her face: "Wake up, you can't sleep."
Because she was in a hurry and used too much force, her face turned red from slapping. Mo Lingling opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Miss Ji, you've come."
Upon seeing Ji Qingwu suddenly appear, Princess Qingyun's domineering attitude diminished considerably. However, seeing her run straight over, she was more concerned about the lowly maidservant.
"Fifth cousin, come here."
Ji Qingwu turned around and said, "Qingyun, release her first. Her condition is very bad."
Ji Qingwu was unwilling and unable to interfere with the grudges and entanglements between them, but she could not bear to see such a vibrant human life tortured to death right before her eyes.
Ji Qingwu stared at Princess Qingyun.
The gentleness in his eyes was gone; a dark glint rose in the depths of his clear eyes, giving rise to an unyielding determination.
Princess Qingyun felt that the expression was very familiar.
During the hunt, my fifth cousin risked her life to leap onto her horse to save her, and this was the expression on her face.
Qingyun stubbornly pursed her lips and remained silent, but did not stop her any further.
Ji Qingwu said to Duan Mingfeng, "Come here, don't just stand there, lend a hand." His figure swayed slightly, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
The two quickly untied the ropes from Mo Lingling, who was trembling all over, and were about to pull her out of the water.
A high-pitched and shrill scream rang out, and Mo Lingling, looking at the water in the bucket, slid into it in terror.
In the light brown wooden bucket, the originally clear water began to saturate with a bloody hue. Because the water was too cold, the blood hadn't yet surfaced; much of it had already solidified and settled at the bottom. The ice water reduced the pain, and Mo Lingling only realized she had seen blood after getting up.
Duan Mingfeng's hand, which was holding Mo Lingling's arm, began to tremble unnaturally, even more violently than Mo Lingling's when she was shivering in cold water.
Ji Qingwu glanced at him and calmly said, "Carry her to the room and let her lie flat."
He then said to the old women standing nearby, "Go and prepare hot water, clean knives and scissors, and a jar of strong liquor."
The old women naturally wouldn't obey her orders.
Duan Mingfeng carried Mo Lingling away first, leaving a trail stained with drops of blood.
Ji Qingwu looked at Princess Qingyun and said urgently, "Zhao Jiayun, send your men quickly!"
Princess Qingyun was startled by her sudden sharp gaze. The way her fifth cousin called her name was just as terrifying as her imperial brother.
A complex emotion welled up inside her, and she reluctantly said, "Do as Fifth Cousin asks."
Ji Qingwu led two old women into the room.
Mo Lingling lay on the sandalwood bed, as if she had lost all signs of life.
Duan Mingfeng stood beside the silk canopy, his hands stained with blood, staring at the person on the bed, a gloomy aura filling the entire room.
The room was made to look like a hellish palace, and the old women were too afraid to go forward.
Ji Qingwu stepped forward and shoved Duan Mingfeng, making him stumble and waking him up.
"Don't just stand here like an idiot. Take this prescription and go get the medicine. Once it's ready, bring it over right away."
Duan Mingfeng had never seen this delicate Miss Ji so fierce before, and another piece of paper was stuffed into his hand.
He looked down and saw that, due to the time crunch, the handwriting on the prescription was of varying thickness, like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing him staring blankly at the prescription she had written, Ji Qingwu said angrily, "The pharmacist will recognize it!"
In a moment of extreme urgency, who cares about the neatness of the handwriting? She was never good at calligraphy anyway.
Then, she kicked Duan Mingfeng out directly; in this emergency, he couldn't afford to hesitate.
More than half an hour passed.
Ji Qingwu opened the door again, and a faint smell of blood still lingered in the room.
As soon as the door was opened, Qingyun and Duan Mingfeng were seen staring at each other like two black-eyed chickens.
Upon seeing Ji Qingwu appear, Duan Mingfeng immediately asked, "Miss Ji, how is she?"
Ji Qingwu nodded: "She's out of danger, but she lost the baby."
Princess Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ji Qingwu resumed her soft, gentle voice.
"Lord Duan, give her the prepared medicine. Please do whatever it takes to make her drink it."
The feeling of being dominated by this Miss Ji is still there.
Without thinking, Duan Mingfeng nodded hastily. Just then, the medicine was ready, and he took the bowl and went inside.
Ji Qingwu said, "Now that the child is gone, Princess, you should go back."
Princess Qingyun said, "You're going to stay here and take care of her?!"
Ji Qingwu looked up at Qingyun, her eyes gentle and bright. It seemed that the sternness Qingyun had seen in her eyes before was just his imagination.
"Please go back, Princess."
Fifth cousin.
Princess Qingyun said with a wronged expression, "This Mo Lingling is an outsider. Instead of helping me, you choose to help her. She shamelessly seduced my consort first!"
"outsider?"
Ji Qingwu found it amusing; when had she become allies with this unruly little princess?
“You are my fifth cousin. You risked your life to save me last time. I was wrong about what happened before. I have always been grateful to you, but you cannot collude with outsiders to bully me.”
Qingyun became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, her eyes reddening as she stared at Ji Qingwu.
It seems that Ji Qingwu is the heartless man...
Ji Qingwu was silent for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, you are of noble status. As long as your brother is here, no one can bully you. I don't want to get involved in your affairs. I am just doing my duty as a doctor."
Princess Qingyun said, "Fifth cousin, you are so biased. Is it because you still have feelings for Li Chengxun and want to protect his child?"
This outrageous speculation made Ji Qingwu frown.
She said, "You love Li Chengxun so much, you shouldn't extend that love to everything related to him, so why did you abort his child?"
Qingyun was speechless, completely stumped by her.
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and continued, "I will only say this once. I already have someone I love. He is a star in the sky, and Li Chengxun is just dust on the ground. Please do not tarnish my beloved."
"Who is it?" Qingyun pressed.
Neither of them noticed that a figure was standing in the shadows in the second-floor corridor.
