Chapter 784: Retribution with Virtue?
hat she couldn't marry the one she loved. Even attending this banquet was only possible because of Xiao Yuge. She was so unwilling."Well, well, if it isn't Miss Xiao, the young lady of the Xiao family..."My lady knows, and also believes that the Empress Dowager would not treat me and my unborn child like this. Perhaps it is just my misfortune." Xiao Yuge had already guessed who had given her the miscarriage-inducing medicine, so she naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against the Empress Dowager.
"Do you really believe me" Perhaps even the Empress Dowager hadn't expected such boldness from her.
Of course, if it were the Empress Dowager's doing, she wouldn't be here at my Mingzhu Mansion today.
The Empress Dowager looked at her, nodding with immense satisfaction: "Good! Good! You truly are the person Old Fifteenth had his eye on!" Then she comforted Xiao Yuge: "You two are still young, and there's plenty of time. This old woman has picked some top-grade blood ginseng for you to replenish your strength."
"Many thanks, Empress Dowager!" Xiao Yu sang hurriedly thanked her, but in his heart he was very disdainful: Even if he were younger, he couldn't withstand the harm of others. A beating followed by a sweet date, sure enough, when it came to playing tricks, the Empress Dowager said first, no one dared to say second.
"Your Majesty, please save the princess!" At this moment, Xiaowan knew how to adapt to the situation and quickly knelt before the Empress Dowager.
"Xiao Wan, how did you end up here At this time, shouldn't you be attending to your master" The Empress Dowager seemed surprised and puzzled upon seeing Xiao Wan.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the County Princess's life hangs in the balance, please save her..."
After understanding the situation, the Empress Dowager's face instantly turned solemn. She looked at Xiao Yuge: "Ge'er, this empress knows that there are some misunderstandings between you and Minrou, but in fact, there is not much of a feud. You are also a woman, and you know the pain of losing a child. Now she has already been punished, can you please spare her for this empress's sake"
Xiao Yu Ge heard this and was speechless. She clearly came at the right time, yet she pretended to be so clueless. She was truly amazing. If not for Xiao Yu Ge's face, she would have been furious. Mentioning this just made her blood boil. She caused Qian Ting Xuan to end up like this, and she still had the audacity to morally blackmail her.
Besides, to call what Fang Minrou did to her a misunderstanding Heavens! What cheek!
Seeing that Xiao Yuge remained silent, the Empress Dowager still thought that it was just Xiao Yuge's unwillingness to speak and prepared to begin another round of persuasion: "Yuge..."
"Your Majesty, just now Little Wan had explained the situation, and this servant was also about to go over. It's just that Your Majesty suddenly arrived, so this servant remained here..." At this time, Xiao Yuge already had a plan in mind.
"Ge'er, you saved the Emperor, and in doing so, you saved the entire Lan Zhao. You are truly a good child with great integrity!" The Empress Dowager showered her with praise, even Qing Luo on the side couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Miss, this servant heard that confinement is also important for new mothers. If you're going out, please wear more clothes and don't hurt your body." Perhaps in this world, besides the Lord and her, no one else truly cares about the miss.
"Well, I see," Xiao Yuge followed her words.
"Alright, Ge'er, I won't disturb you anymore. Go ahead, child. Since I have come out, I shall go and see the Fifteenth Prince!" The Empress Dowager rose to her feet with the support of Qin Mama. Perhaps this was the first time in many years that she had ventured out of the palace to visit Qian Ting Xuan.
"Farewell to the Empress Dowager!"
After the Empress Dowager left, Xiao Yuge instructed Qing Luo to return to her room and bring back the medicine chest and other necessary items.
"Little Wan, you truly have learned the art of the County Lady's wrists. Even the Empress Dowager has been alarmed!" Xiao Yuge looked at the girl before her. It seemed Fang Minrou could survive unscathed in the fiery palace. This girl must have done a lot to ensure that.
"The slave doesn't know what the County Master means..." Xiaowan lowered her head with some trepidation. In fact, she had known all along that she couldn't get Xiao Yuge to agree, so before coming here, she had asked someone to go into the palace to see the Empress Dowager. She knew that the Empress Dowager loved her master and would certainly not abandon her master, so she knelt down at Mingzhu Mansion at the right time.
"Don't play these games in front of me, you two. You've schemed against me many times! While I don't like you, I won't stand by and watch you perish. But let me be clear, I'm not a midwife, so there are some things I don't understand. If you insist on making me go, then you must be prepared for the worst!" She would do her best to save them, but if she couldn't, it wouldn't be her fault.
"Both my slave and I believe in the county lord's medical skills!" Xiaowan also felt a chill down her spine, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to come to seek out the County Lord. But right now, she had no other choice.
Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort: “Even I don't believe myself, you actually believe me, how strange!”
"This..." Xiaowan was a little dumbfounded.
"Alright, stop dawdling. Do you still want to save your master" Xiao Yuge was too lazy to waste time talking with her. Seeing Qing Luo take out the medical kit, she told Lu Xiangwan to prepare the carriage.
"Yes! This slave will come right away!" Xiaowan hurried after her.
When getting into the carriage, Xiao Yuge leaned close to Lu Xiangwan's ear and whispered something. Lu Xiangwan nodded and then turned away, while Xiao Yuge and the others drove the carriage towards Fang Minrou's house.
Coming to Fang Minrou's current residence, Xiao Yuge couldn't help but frown. The courtyard that Qian Tingxuan had purchased for Fang Minrou was not very large, but it was quite unique. However, because of the treasure she had sent, it was constantly targeted by thieves, forcing her to move out. Now, she could only live in this dilapidated small courtyard. But she felt Fang Minrou deserved it!
If Fang Minruo just liked Qian Tingxuan, she should openly pursue him or compete with her. She wouldn't have anything to complain about. The problem is, Fang Minruo went behind the scenes and orchestrated so many actions, repeatedly trying to harm her. If she had made even a slight mistake, she might have been ruined by Fang Minruo, either losing everything or worse.
Therefore, Xiao Yuge would not have any sympathy for Fang Minru's current situation.
Pushing open Fang Minrou's room door, a wave of bloodiness immediately hit her nose, making her want to vomit. The midwife who was forced to stay there for Xiao Wan’s delivery quickly found an excuse and slipped away. After all, although she was an out-of-favor princess, she was still a princess. If anything happened to her, her entire family would be in danger.
Xiao Yu Ge gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to vomit as he lifted Fang Min Rou's blanket. He hadn't realized until now, but upon seeing it, he was shocked. Goodness gracious! The entire underside of the blanket was soaked in blood. At this moment, Fang Min Rou's face was as pale as paper, and strangely enough, she hadn't fainted yet. This must be a testament to her incredible willpower.
"Xiao Yu's song, I don't need you to save me!" Even at this point, she seemed to be still stubborn.
"I wouldn't want to save you either, after all, I've never been one to repay grievances with kindness. However, since your maid and even the Empress Dowager came looking for me, if I didn't come, it would make me seem petty. But don't get your hopes up too high, I'm not a midwife. This is my first time dealing with childbirth. If anything hurts, just bear with it!"possible. Otherwise, if this continues, the entire Ruoshui City will be out of control."He Crane nodded slightly: "Well, I've written out a prescription. Let's go together and get the medicine upstair...
