Chapter 72 Acute Illness
The atmosphere in the Xue family is no longer so relaxed.
After Xue Qinghe left the Heron Garden, he didn't go far when he noticed that Liu Yuerong had sent someone to follow him.
There was a ball of anger in Xue Qinghe's chest, which was also mixed with disappointment, shame, embarrassment and misery...
She returned to Xue's house holding back these emotions and felt weak all over.
"Second girl." Qiu Xin's eyes were also darkened. She blinked hard and cried to Xue Qinghe, "I really do it for you..."
"Why did you lie to your sister?" Xue Qinghe asked in a trembling voice.
"I am……"
"For me?" Xue Qinghe answered weakly, and then asked her: "Is this really for me? I trust you so much. But you put me in an embarrassing situation..."
Xue Qinghe was originally the victim of the pushing incident on the day we visited the lake.
But because of Qiu Xin's lie...Xue Qinghe suddenly became the "perpetrator" in the eyes of others.
"I should have been wary of you when you said those words at the Sun Palace Banquet." Xue Qinghe's voice trembled even more.
When Qiu Xin heard this, she raised her head suddenly and her eyes turned red: "Second girl, are you blaming me? Second girl! You are kind by nature, but if you are too kind, you will become weak! You don't fight for anything,
If you don't rob, how will the people who follow you live? I am willing to endure hardship with you, but what about the others?"
"But you shouldn't lie..." Xue Qinghe's eyes were filled with tears.
It is also very painful for her to deal with Qiu Xin.
Because Qiu Xin did accompany her through many difficult days and nights.
"There is nothing wrong or wrong, it's just that my skills are not as good as others, so I asked the older girl to make a show of it." Qiu Xin said bitterly.
Xue Qinghe took a step back in disappointment: "You still don't know your fault..."
"Second girl, I was not wrong at all!"
"Enough!"
Xue Qinghe wiped the tears on his face and stumbled towards the main hall without looking at her.
Since Mrs. Xue left, Xue Chengdong went home more frequently.
The person Xue Qinghe was going to see was none other than Xue Chengdong.
"This incident was originally because the Liu family girl wanted to harm her sister, but in the end it turned out like this."
Xue Qinghe's voice was still trembling.
She told Xue Chengdong everything about today.
Xue Chengdong looked at Xue Qinghe who was kneeling obediently in front of him.
He was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that Xue Qinghe couldn't handle such a trivial matter by himself.
But Xue Chengdong didn't show his face. He said: "Then according to the family law, I will be whipped twenty times and driven out of the house."
Qiu Xin, who was kneeling outside, heard Xue Chengdong's voice and fainted on the spot.
Xue Qinghe walked out, and the mother-in-law beside her looked at her nervously and asked: "Second girl, do you still want to fight?"
It was rare for Xue Qinghe to see people in her house treat her with such respect. She paused for a moment before coming back to her senses and choked out: "Hit."
The mother-in-law immediately lost her worries, rounded her arms, grabbed the branch in her hand, and hit Qiu Xin's body.
Qiu screamed in pain and woke up from the fear.
Xue Qinghe couldn't listen anymore, turned around and walked away in a hurry.
After Qiu Xin is expelled, she will find a way to help Qiu Xin. But now is the punishment that Qiu Xin must bear.
"Who told you to lead the second girl into mischief?" the mother-in-law scolded and slapped her.
"Second girl! Second girl..." Qiu Xin's voice was sad and shrill.
But I couldn't wait for a response.
She cried and screamed. When the thin branch hit her face, blood flowed from her forehead, blurring her pupils.
After burning the incense, several women hurriedly packed up her baggage and drove her out with her baggage.
Liu Yuerong was sitting on the carriage on the far corner of the street. She lowered the carriage curtain with confidence and said, "Let's go, you can go back."
When Liu Yuerong returned home, her brother came towards her and said unhappily: "You went to see the fourth princess?"
Liu Yuerong nodded.
Mr. Liu said unhappily: "The fourth princess is evil, you shouldn't get too close to her."
"Brother, how dare you speak ill of the princess? Besides, she grew up with King Wei. I will marry King Wei soon. Only by learning more about King Wei's preferences from the fourth princess can I determine the position of Princess Wei in the future.
Sit still and firmly." Liu Yuerong said in an unhappy tone.
It was okay not to mention it, but when he mentioned it, Mr. Liu became even more angry. He said: "What kind of gentleman is King Wei? That poetry meeting clearly humiliated you, and you still..."
Liu Yuerong stared at her brother and said coldly: "Didn't my brother praise King Wei's exquisite poems in the past? How dare I say that to him?"
Mr. Liu showed a look of pain on his face: "If I had known today, I would not have praised him in front of you. Yuerong, if you write good poems and essays, it does not mean that His Highness the King of Wei will be a good husband!"
Liu Yuerong couldn't bear to hear it, covered her head and said: "I made someone lose face today, but when I come back, I have to be taught like this by my brother..."
Mr. Liu sighed: "Okay, okay, you have a headache again, right? I'll ask someone to bring medicine."
Liu Yuerong lay down on the bed and took the medicine while the maid took care of her.
Her body and bones were stronger than Xue Qingyin's, but she accidentally suffered from headaches when she was young. Later she fell in love with the King of Wei and suffered from lovesickness, which made her even more prone to headaches.
In comparison, Young Master Liu treats her, his biological sister, far better than He Songning treats Xue Qingyin.
In fact, since Liu Yuerong was appointed as Princess Wei in the palace and made a big splash, her headaches have temporarily disappeared. Now is it too late to be proud? Why does it hurt?
Right now it's just to shut Mr. Liu's mouth.
But after she took the medicine, she really started to feel pain after a while.
Liu Yuerong wanted to hold back.
She grabbed the quilt, tightening it tighter and tighter.
"Why is the girl so pale?" The maid on the side exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Yuerong turned over and wanted to tell her not to yell.
Just such a small movement caused her vision to suddenly go dark. At the same time, a damp chill came from her back.
All in cold sweat.
Liu Yuerong opened her mouth, and finally couldn't help shouting: "It hurts, I have a headache, ah!"
The maid had never seen her in such severe pain and jumped up.
Mr. Liu panicked when he saw this: "Quick, go get some Qing Si Xiang!"
The maid nodded and went to find Qing Si Xiang by familiar routes.
Sometimes if the medicine doesn't work, she will light incense and try both ways. This is Liu Yuerong's habit.
The Qingsi Incense was quickly lit.
The aroma quickly filled the entire bedroom.
At this moment, Liu Yuerong burst into a painful howl from her throat, and then rolled on the bed.
Has Mr. Liu ever seen such a scene? He grabbed Liu Yuerong's wrist with one hand and shouted loudly: "Quick! Go and call the doctor!"
When the doctor came, Liu Yuerong was twitching all over.
She seemed to have had her essence drained away in a very short period of time.
Even when the doctor held her wrist, she could only open her eyelids a little.
She was going to die, she was going to die in pain, she would never...never pretend to be sick again!
Xue Qingyin woke up the next day and learned the rumor that Liu Yuerong was seriously ill.
The news has spread throughout the capital.
The magistrate said eloquently: "I heard that the Liu family went to the gate of Prince Wei's house to ask for an imperial doctor all night long."
Xue Qingyin was shocked when she heard this.
Is the world changing so fast?
When Liu Yuerong scolded Qiu Xin yesterday, she was so angry! There was still time to clear up the blame!
Nong Xia asked curiously: "Has the imperial doctor gone?"
Zhishu shook his head: "That's not clear. I just said that Miss Liu's life hangs on a thread and she will leave at any time."
Nong Xia whispered: "Then King Wei is going to be a widower before he gets married?"
Zhishu said: "Ordinary people do this, how can a descendant of the Tian family become a widower?"
Xue Qingyin nodded when she heard the sound: "If you don't have it, just marry someone else."
Nong Xia frowned: "That sounds so cruel."
Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "Girl, I'm going to tell you, most men in this world, no matter rich or poor, high or low status, are so cruel."
Zhishu laughed at the side and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for Miss Liu when she ends up like this today. She wanted to harm our eldest girl first, but she accidentally harmed the second girl."
"That's right! This Miss Liu is really bad! Last time, the eldest son even made the eldest son angry at our eldest girl because the second girl was injured!" Nong Xia immediately agreed.
Zhishu heard the sound and smiled awkwardly.
The eldest son is her master.
The news that Liu Yuerong was seriously ill also reached Concubine Wan's ears.
"Didn't they send an imperial doctor?" Concubine Wan said with an ugly face.
Mammy said helplessly: "Your Majesty gave me ginseng."
Concubine Wan's throat was tight.
The ginseng slices are mostly used to hang oneself... This shows how critical the situation has become.
"When did Miss Liu get sick? It happened at this time!" Concubine Wan was so angry that she smashed the cup in her hand.
Mammy sighed: "Perhaps she is not blessed enough to be able to bear the honor and favor from the Heavenly Family."
Concubine Wan doesn't care whether Liu Yuerong is lucky or not, she just wants to know what will happen if the position of the princess becomes vacant again?
With Liu Yuerong's death, the Liu family and the Wei Palace will no longer be able to get married.
If King Wei is in a hurry to marry another wife at this time, he will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the Liu family.
In other words, in the end, her son only got Qiao Xinyu!
And what about King Xuan?
Now the emperor has not issued an order to grant marriage to King Xuan.
He's just afraid that the emperor will point out Lu's daughter to him!
Lu Shuyi’s father is much more useful than Qiao Xinyu’s father!
The more Concubine Wan thought about it, the more upset she became.
