Chapter 403: Another Girl
Liu Rushi asked the warriors to stop beating. She stepped forward to take a look and then fainted.
"Help her up, I'll go in and ask." After giving the order, Liu Rushi went into the west warm room.
Jiang Xiaomei was reviewing official documents when Liu Rushi came in and said, "Miss Jiang, there's a palace maid outside looking for you. She was nearly beaten to death by a warrior. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Ah! How could this happen? Let me go and take a look!" Jiang Xiaomei immediately followed Liu Rushi out of the West Warm Pavilion.
When Jiang Xiaomei saw that it was Qin Baobao, she immediately asked, "What's going on?"
The female official who had just hit Qin Baobao said, "Madam Jiang, this palace maid just now insisted on seeing you, but I wouldn't let her. She insisted on coming in, so I had to send the warriors to teach her a lesson."
"Okay, if someone looks for me in the future, you can let me know if I'm not busy. If I'm busy, just let her wait. There's no need to send warriors to beat people. We are all women. Why should women make things difficult for other women!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Yes, I know I was wrong!" said the female official.
"Help her in and call the imperial physician to wake her up!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
Liu Rushi said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
"Okay, take care, sister!" Jiang Xiaomei said goodbye to Liu Rushi and took the unconscious Qin Baobao into the house.
Before the imperial physician arrived, Qin Baobao slowly woke up. She saw Jiang Xiaomei looking at her, and she immediately stood up, kneeling on the ground despite the pain, begging: "Miss Jiang, please leave the palace and help me pass a message to Xiaofei!"
"Tell me what's the matter?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"The Queen Mother wants to kill my sister. You tell him to find a way to save my sister. Tell him that if he saves her, I will do anything he asks me to do!" Qin Baobao said.
"I feel like he might have other thoughts after hearing this," Jiang Xiaomei said with a smile.
"Miss Jiang, don't think too much. There is no possibility for him and me to be together anymore. If it weren't for my sister, I really don't want to have anything to do with him anymore." Qin Baobao said.
"He won't do that. I'll convey the first part to you. Forget about the second part. He feels guilty towards you. If you beg him, he will definitely try his best." Jiang Xiaomei said with a smile and got up to leave.
Jiang Xiaomei left the palace without anyone stopping her. When she arrived at the palace, she was taken directly to the study by a servant.
Zhao Xiaofei is looking at the map, he is preparing for the Northern Expedition.
The servant outside the door announced, "Your Highness, Lady Jiang wishes to see you!"
"Come in!" Zhao Xiaofei said. He was confused as to why Jiang Xiaomei had suddenly come to him. Did she want to go with him to watch the battle? He definitely couldn't agree to her request.
Jiang Xiaomei entered the room and the servant was about to close the door, but Zhao Xiaofei said, "No need to close the door. Miss Jiang, if you have something to say, just tell me!"
"The Queen Mother wants to kill Qin Xiaomi. Qin Baobao asked me to tell you to go to the palace and save her sister!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"I understand. You go back first! I'll go to the palace right away!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Jiang Xiaomei was right. Zhao Xiaofei did feel a little guilty about Qin Baobao. It was mainly about being unfaithful in his marriage, nothing else. He felt more helpless. Who had made him meet this disappointing sister-in-law?
Zhao Xiaofei changed his clothes and entered the palace. He came to Kunning Palace. When he saw Lu Ling, he asked, "What's going on? Is there any movement?"
"No! We are preparing for surgery and will do a caesarean section soon!" said Lu Ling.
"Leave Qin Xiaomi alive, I will send someone to take her away!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Do you think she can survive? If it weren't for her seduction, would the late emperor have left so early?" Lu Ling's eyes showed an icy cold light.
"She must live, there is nothing to discuss!" Zhao Xiaofei said firmly.
"I am the Queen Mother, Prince Li. Can't I even deal with a talented person?" Lu Ling said to Zhao Xiaofei.
"You are the queen mother and I will naturally respect you, but she is my relative. Please give her a way out." Zhao Xiaofei saluted.
Lu Ling looked at Zhao Xiaofei, feeling a little uneasy. She was also afraid that Zhao Xiaofei would get angry and she would lose face.
Lu Ling calmed herself down and said, "Prince Li, do you care so much about a woman? If you like, you can choose any woman in the palace and take her away."
"Please have mercy on me, Queen Dowager, and spare Qin Cairen's life. I will not let her cause any trouble!" Zhao Xiaofei still looked at Lu Ling persistently.
"You..." Lu Ling had no choice. The army was still in the hands of the Zhao brothers. They also had a lot of silver. If it weren't for Princess Kunxing, they would have sat on the Dragon Throne long ago.
"Okay! But I don't want to see her again in this life!" Lu Ling said hatefully.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your help!" Zhao Xiaofei saluted.
Lu Ling left very angrily. Zhao Xiaofei then whispered a few words to a few guards and immediately went to the west warm room of the Qianqing Palace.
Princess Kunxing was also there at the time, and she said, "Your Highness, rest assured. Qin is fine now! I had the imperial physician examine her, and the palace maids gave her medicine. I sent her to stay with Lady Jiang for a few days."
"Thank you!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"You and I have been married for many years, there is no need to do this." Princess Kunxing said with a smile.
"Her sister is about to give birth. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, you and Lu Ling must save her life. I will send someone to send them away!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"It's up to you whether you want to leave or not. I can also stay with you!" said Princess Kunxing.
"She and I have no feelings for each other anymore. There's no need to stay. I just hope they live well!" Zhao Xiaofei said and left.
Looking at Zhao Xiaofei's back, Kunxing felt a little jealous. Every woman is jealous, and Kunxing is no exception. Although Qin is the other party's wife and they are divorced, she is still jealous. She feels uncomfortable when she sees Qin Baobao, and she feels even more upset when she sees Zhao Xiaofei caring so much about the safety of the two women.
Now, the lives of Qin Xiaomi and Qin Baobao are really only in the hands of Princess Kunxing. Even if Zhao Xiaofei wants to protect them, she has the ability to take the opportunity to kill the two women.
But after thinking about it, she didn't want to and couldn't do this, because if she did, Zhao Xiaofei would have a grudge against her.
And there was something more important waiting for her, because Li Zichu had already sent a message that what Lu Ling had done had been exposed. Li Zichu had obtained the confession and authenticated all the physical evidence.
No matter whether Qin Xiaomi gives birth to a boy or a girl, Lu Ling will die.
In the delivery room, Zhang Shulan began the operation, and everything went smoothly. Finally, Zhang Shulan's senior apprentice took the baby out and cut the umbilical cord. Zhang Shulan patted the baby on the back, and the baby began to cry.
The cry of a child made everyone outside the house nervous.
Lu Ling went in directly without waiting for the old palace maid to come out.
When he saw Zhang Shulan, he asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Girl!" Zhang Shulan said calmly.
"I got it!" Lu Ling took a deep breath and left the delivery room.
