After Linglong left.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, which subconsciously fell on her lower abdomen. She raised her left hand, placing her fingers on her right wrist, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
really.
She is pregnant, and judging from her pulse, she is about a month along. However, in addition to being pregnant, there are also toxins remaining in her body, which have been present for at least a year. Who poisoned her?
Frowning, she stared at her lower abdomen, pondering. This child was definitely not Feng Xilan's.
In this era, having an affair and becoming pregnant with another man's child is a serious crime, and even for members of the royal family, it could ruin their entire lives.
Feng Ji took her pulse and must have known, but he didn't say anything about it and even sent her some top-quality medicine to help prevent miscarriage.
Why did he do this?
By carefully recalling the memories the original owner possessed, some clues were discovered.
A few hours before she transmigrated, the original owner's half-sister, Mu Yazhi, invited her to watch the fireworks together. After that, her memories had returned to the Eastern Palace, so she had no memory of the night of the fireworks festival.
So it was that night?
Why can't I remember anything?
Mu Chenshuang wondered in her heart how this child came to be; she still needed to confirm.
But right now, Mu Chenshuang was wondering whether to keep the child or not.
...
Linglong took the silver and handed it to Lihua, telling her about the Crown Princess's decision.
Pear Blossom shouted in disbelief, "Linglong, what did you say? She wants to kick me out?!"
No, that's impossible. She's always been soft-hearted towards those around her.
He excitedly grabbed Linglong's hand and said, "You didn't tell the Crown Princess that I had been kneeling in the snow all night and had fallen ill in bed. How could she not forgive me?"
Linglong's expression was heavy. She and Lihua had relied on each other since they were children in the slave camp. They had lived together for so many years and were like sisters. Even when Lihua made mistakes, she always covered for her and even lied to the Crown Princess that Lihua had knelt in the snow all night.
“Pear Blossom, I told you this is the last time I'll cover for you. The Crown Princess is like a second mother to us, treating us like sisters. You framed her for your own selfish desires. You are truly… unforgivable.”
Linglong shook off Lihua's hand, turned around, her eyes reddening, and slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and sorrow.
Pear Blossom clenched her fists, stood up, and stared at Linglong with resentment in her eyes. "Yes, the Crown Princess saved me, but I have served her like a slave for so many years. I took an arrow for her on the battlefield back then. I have already repaid her kindness. I don't owe her anything anymore."
“Every man for himself, and heaven and earth will punish him. Linglong, you are so naive. If she really considered us as sisters, shouldn’t she have considered our future? Instead, she has kept us by her side as her maids. She is selfish.”
Linglong stared at Lihua with wide eyes in disbelief. "Lihua, what are you talking about? You're working for the concubine, do you think she'll find you a good match?"
Pear Blossom bit her lip, turned to the side, her eyes filled with hatred, her fists clenched. She thought of Xiao Qingyu's promise that as long as she became the Crown Prince, he would find her the son of a high-ranking official in the capital.
She lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide her emotions, and decided to endure it.
She slowly turned around, holding Linglong's hands in her own, and said with a heavy heart, "I'm sorry, but I was just too heartbroken when I thought about how the Crown Princess disregarded our relationship and drove me away. Pear Blossom, please help me one last time. Leave the East Palace. Where can I go in this freezing weather?"
When Pear Blossom begged for mercy, Linglong's heart softened.
"I can't help you. The Crown Princess is very determined. Perhaps your last hope is to beg for mercy yourself. Stop pretending."
Mu Chenshuang sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to circulate her qi to dispel the cold, but ultimately failed.
The original owner possessed strong internal energy, but three years ago, in order to save that heartless bastard Feng Xilan, she lost all her internal energy. She will definitely get revenge a hundredfold for this.
In this era where people devour each other without hesitation, she must find a way to restore her inner strength.
At this moment.
A soft voice came from outside the door: "Sister!"
Then the door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman wearing a white fox fur coat walked in gracefully.
With her charming face and alluring eyes, it's no wonder she could captivate Feng Xilan.
"Sister, I heard you fainted yesterday. Today I brought some tonics. These are top-quality tonics that His Highness gave me. They are worth a fortune. Unfortunately, there are too many for me to eat by myself, so I brought some to give to you. I also specially made chicken soup for you to nourish your body."
Using a gentle voice, he uttered the most cutting words to show off his favor.
If it were the Mu Chenshuang of the past, she would probably have gone mad and rushed forward to teach Xiao Qingyu a lesson, which would have been exactly what she was looking for.
Xiao Qingyu stopped and stood by the bed. Behind her was an old nanny carrying a tray. She turned to the side, reached out and picked up the chicken soup on the tray, and brought it to Mu Chenshuang.
"Sister, drink some while it's hot."
Mu Chenshuang slightly raised her eyes, her icy gaze startling Xiao Qingyu. How could this madwoman have such a cold and calm look?
"By trespassing into my wife's bedroom, I can have you dragged out and given thirty strokes of the cane."
His eyes were murderous, and his voice was as cold as ice.
