Chapter 615: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 36
If a monarch has the potential to become a tyrant and encounters someone who knows the future just like him, even if that future is destined to be changed, he will definitely try his best to eliminate the person who knows the secret to avoid threatening his rule.
The emperor only drove Zheng Yuejin completely crazy, and did not vent his anger on the Xuanping Marquis Mansion because of the two sisters Zheng Yuejin and Zheng Xingyao. He was already very merciful.
A few days later, a piece of bad news hit the Xuanping Marquis Mansion like a bolt from the blue.
At that time, the Marquis and his wife were in the old lady's yard.
News just came from the clan that several members of the clan are planning to go to Beijing to take part in the Spring Examination next year.
The old lady instructed the Marquis' wife to receive these students well, and asked the Marquis to find some imperial examination papers from previous years for them to study. Her words were full of expectations for the younger generations of the family.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the house.
A servant rushed into the room, sweating profusely, and fell to his knees with a plop, saying breathlessly:
"Old Madam, Lord Marquis, Madam, the Eastern Palace has just sent a message saying that our Crown Princess had a problem while taking the fake pregnancy medicine in the Eastern Palace today and she has experienced heavy bleeding.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked the masters of the palace to hurry over and bring along any secret recipes that can stop the bleeding. The palace is doing its best to treat the patient."
In fact, the servant didn't dare to say another word.
That is, if the person cannot be rescued, just treat it as seeing the Crown Princess for the last time.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, the old lady's face turned pale, and the cane in her hand trembled unconsciously.
The Marquis opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The Marquis's wife's face turned ashen, and her lips trembled slightly. She seemed to want to say something, but was choked by the sudden news.
After a moment's silence, the Marquis suddenly stood up and shouted, "Quick, prepare the horses! Take all the secret recipes in the mansion and go to the East Palace immediately!"
The marquis's wife also came to her senses, hurriedly tidied her clothes, and ran out.
"My Lord, please go ahead. I will go get all the good herbs in the mansion and will be there soon."
Although the old lady was very old, she managed to stand up and said in a trembling but firm voice, "Let's go, let's all go and rescue Xingyao!"
In the minds of the old lady and the marquis, Zheng Xingyao herself is secondary. They care more about her identity as the Crown Princess.
If she lost this identity, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would never be able to find a suitable girl to fill the vacancy of the Crown Princess within two generations.
The Marquis rode his horse to the East Palace first, and the Marquis's wife and the old lady were not slow either, arriving soon after.
At this time, the East Palace was already in chaos, with palace servants coming in and out, busy as hell.
Basins of warm water were brought in, and then basins of blood were brought out. The shocking scene almost made the old lady and the marquis' wife faint.
With such heavy bleeding, even if the person can be saved, he or she will probably develop a chronic disease and become a sickly person.
But no matter what, as long as people are alive, there is hope.
The Crown Prince was talking to Marquis Xuanping when his wife, ignoring the rules and etiquette, rushed straight into the room.
Her eyes were full of anxiety. She rushed to the bed, held Zheng Xingyao's hand, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Xingyao, Yao'er, mother is here. Don't be afraid. I've brought the best herbs in the mansion, as well as a secret recipe that can stop bleeding. I've asked someone to boil the medicine outside. You'll feel better after drinking it."
The Marquis's wife looked at her daughter's pale face, bloodless lips, and the silver needles piercing several acupuncture points on her body, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Those silver needles were originally used to stop bleeding, but on Zheng Xingyao's body, they only slowed down the blood flow slightly.
When Zheng Xingyao saw Madam Hou come in, she pulled the corners of her mouth hard and forced a smile.
Then she said to the servants, "All of you go out. I have something to say to my mother alone."
Zheng Xingyao's personal maid wiped her tears and begged bitterly, "Miss, I won't leave. Please hold on a little longer, and you will definitely get better.
The imperial physicians are all trying to find a solution, and His Majesty has sent Dr. Tan here. Please hold on a little longer, I beg you."
The Marquis's wife also disapproved of her daughter's behavior and advised: "Yao'er, don't be willful. If you have anything to say, you can always tell me when you get better. Just cooperate with the imperial physician..."
Zheng Xingyao grabbed Madam Hou's hand tightly, shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination.
"Mother, I know my daughter's situation very well. If I don't tell her now, there will be no chance in the future. Please let her finish her words.
Besides, you've already asked someone to prepare medicine for your daughter, and the imperial doctors haven't come up with a treatment plan yet, so their staying here won't be of much use."
The Marquis's wife felt her daughter pulling her hand and squeezed it twice. She knew that she had something to say but was not comfortable saying it. However, she thought of her daughter's health and felt a little hesitant.
But looking at her daughter's determined eyes, she finally nodded slowly and signaled all the servants in the room to leave, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.
Zheng Xingyao raised her hand slightly and gently tugged at Madam Hou's clothes, motioning her to come closer to her.
The Marquis's wife leaned over quickly, and only heard Zheng Xingyao say slowly in a breathy voice, "Mother, don't waste your energy. It's His Majesty who doesn't want my daughter to live. How can I survive?"
As soon as the words fell, the Marquis's wife was struck by lightning, her body suddenly straightened up, and she almost blurted out words that she shouldn't have said.
Fortunately, she reacted instantly and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at Zheng Xingyao, her eyes full of shock, fear and disbelief.
The air in the room seemed to be frozen, with only the faint sound of Zheng Xingyao's breathing and the rapid heartbeat of Madam Hou intertwined.
The Marquis's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. She could only look at her daughter.
Zheng Xingyao knew that she didn't have much time left, so she didn't have the time to wait for her wife to digest what she said.
She forced herself to hold on to her weak body, pulled Madam Hou to her again, and said softly, "Mother, don't be sad. I am so happy to be your daughter.
If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.
Think about your brother and your grandparents, and don't do anything stupid.
The several fights between the daughter and Zheng Yuejin all revolved around the royal family, causing the royal family to lose face.
When this incident happened at the wedding, my daughter was unable to go to the royal family temple to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut, and she had expected this day to come.
I thought there was still room for maneuver, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
The Marquis' wife gradually came to her senses, her mood became calmer than before, and her mind was working rapidly, analyzing the current situation.
Seeing her daughter dying, her heart was filled with hatred.
