Qingyu Palace.
"ah!"
Cries of pain echoed in the main room, accompanied by the woman's sobbing, "Brother Xilan, Yu'er is in so much pain, it really hurts so much."
Feng Xilan carefully applied ointment to Xiao Qingyu's buttocks. Looking at the bloody and gruesome wounds on the woman's buttocks, his eyes were filled with heartache and guilt.
After applying the ointment, he handed it to a servant standing nearby, then gently helped Xiao Qingyu up, letting her lean against him, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yu'er, I will definitely get justice for you."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with hatred.
With tears welling in her eyes, Xiao Qingyu gently shook her head and said weakly, "Your Highness, there's no need. Today, it was Yu'er who was rude to my sister. I am just a concubine, and my wedding ceremony was not in accordance with the rules. It is normal for my sister to be angry with me. Your Highness, please let it go. I will be careful not to offend my sister again in the future."
Her gentle and understanding words are even more heartbreaking to hear.
Lanxiang, sobbing, said, “Your Majesty, you are so kind-hearted. You specially sent tonics to the Crown Princess, but she falsely accused you of insubordination and tormented you like this. You still speak up for her. Your wedding to the Crown Prince will not be possible now.”
As she spoke, Lanxiang knelt on the ground, raised her head and looked up at Feng Xilan, "Your Highness, you must do justice for my lady!"
"Lanxiang, stop talking," Xiao Qingyu scolded, wincing in pain as she pulled at her wound.
Feng Xilan tightened her grip on her arm, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection, while her hatred for Mu Chenshuang grew stronger.
"Yu'er, don't be angry. Mu Chenshuang dared to poison you. I will never tolerate such a vicious woman."
"Your Highness..."
"Alright, Yu'er, you don't need to say anything more. Just focus on recovering these days. You don't need to worry about anything else. We'll have our wedding night tonight. I'll make it up to you after you've recovered."
After Feng Xilan left, Xiao Qingyu's gentle face instantly cracked, her beautiful eyes revealing a sinister look, and her delicate nails dug fiercely into her palms.
"Mu Chenshuang, I will make you pay for today's humiliation a hundredfold, a thousandfold." His anger aggravated his wound.
Lanxiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Qingyu lie down, "Your Highness, please be careful and don't get angry. Right now, you should recover as soon as possible."
Xiao Qingyu lay on the bed, her whole body aching terribly. "Lanxiang, go to the front hall and see if Madam has returned to the mansion."
"Yes! This servant will go right away!"
Lanxiang hurriedly left Qingyu Palace.
Half an hour later.
"Yu'er!"
A hurried and anxious voice came from the doorway.
The Duchess, dressed in magnificent brocade, strode into the room. When she saw her daughter lying on the bed, she was filled with heartache and indignation. "Yu'er, what happened? How dare that little bitch Mu Chenshuang hit you?"
Lanxiang then told Song Liu the general outline of what had happened.
"Mu Chenshuang has a gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. She even made the Crown Prince kneel before her, and the Crown Prince couldn't do anything about it."
This was something she just couldn't understand. Everyone in the capital knew how much Mu Chenshuang loved Mu Fengxilan.
Today, she actually humiliated the Crown Prince by making him kneel down. In her eyes, there was no longer any trace of love for the Crown Prince. She was like a completely different person.
Song Liu's eyes were filled with anger, and she said, "This matter absolutely cannot be left like this. She is acting recklessly with the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. Does she really think that she can bully our Duke's Mansion just because she has made some military achievements? I'm going to find your father right now."
As she angrily turned to leave, Xiao Qingyu called her back.
"Mother, wait a minute, hiss..."
Hearing her daughter's cries of pain, Song Liu stopped and sat on the edge of the bed, supporting her daughter's shoulders with both hands, feeling extremely distressed.
"Right now, Marquis Mu holds immense power, and Father is no match for the Marquis's mansion. Even if we go to His Majesty, it will probably be useless. Mother, you should go to Cousin and have her whisper in His Majesty's ear. The words of someone close to the emperor will definitely have more influence than Father's. We must make His Majesty take back the gold medal he bestowed upon us. The Crown Prince will protect me. This matter must be handled slowly. I will make Mu Chenshuang pay a bloody price." He said fiercely.
Xiao Qingyu's cousin is currently enjoying great favor.
Song Liu agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the palace tomorrow and talk to your cousin about it."
Night was falling.
Inside the Jade Dawn Palace.
Mu Chenshuang drank the medicine Linglong brought her. The medicine contained ingredients to stabilize the pregnancy. It seemed that she needed to visit this Third Prince in person to find out what his purpose was, whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"Alright, Linglong, you can go and rest now!"
Linglong looked hesitant.
"Is there anything else?" Mu Chenshuang asked calmly.
Linglong clenched her fingers, her expression grave, and finally spoke: "Your Highness, Pear Blossom is kneeling outside."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed, and Linglong was so frightened by that look that she immediately knelt down, feeling an inexplicable fear in her heart.
"Your Majesty!"
She wanted to plead for mercy, but the words stuck in her throat, and at this moment she felt that the Crown Princess was a completely different person.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong, who was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. She was loyal, but she was just too soft-hearted.
"I know the feelings between you and Pear Blossom, and you can't bear to part with her, but I will never keep such a heartless and treacherous servant. It is already the greatest favor that I have spared her life, but if she wants to kneel, let her kneel."
