The sun was setting, the clouds were low, and the snowstorm in Qincheng was about to arrive. The originally golden sunset was covered by a thick black cloud. Liu Miaoer stood in front of the window and realized that the day was about to change.
Before Yuan Shao came back, Bi'er came back with Doctor Liu, saying that Chen Linlang had been comforted by the concubine, so Liu Miao'er didn't have to worry.
Just as he was talking, the concubine came to Zuiyuan, Liu Miaoer stood up to greet her, but what greeted her was the concubine's meaningful smile.
In the low-hanging black clouds, the concubine's smile was like a crack in the gloomy sky blowing out a cold wind, making Liu Miao'er shudder.
"Taifei, it's late at night and the wind is strong, so please go back to the garden to rest."
Today, Liu Miao'er has learned how to advance and retreat. Although in the Runan Palace, as long as her status in Yuan Shao's heart remains unchanged, her status in the palace will not change. But now that she has decided to stay and go on
, you can’t show off your sharpness. Appropriate low-key and concession is the wisest choice.
Therefore, when Liu Miao'er faced the concubine, she treated her with courtesy even though she felt that the woman was not well-meaning. Her energy had already been restrained, and unless she was certain of her victory, she would have to be careful at every turn.
Between acting recklessly and saving her life, Liu Miaoer naturally chose the latter.
The concubine did not expect that Liu Miao'er would suddenly become knowledgeable and sensible, but no matter how Liu Miao'er was, in the eyes of the concubine, she would not be someone who could cooperate with her. She was either a friend or an enemy. To the enemy, the concubine
But he is never merciful.
So she narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Princess, I won't talk to you even if you are pregnant. Now that the concubine is also pregnant, I know that the princess is not feeling well. But now that the child is already there, the princess is still
It's good to accept it calmly. After all, whether the child in your belly is a boy or a girl, he is the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Runan Palace, so the princess should not be too sad."
After saying that, the concubine cast a sympathetic look at Liu Miao'er, and left with Su's mother beside her in a compassionate manner. Qing Po looked at Liu Miao'er worriedly, but Liu Miao'er smiled indifferently,
Put him at ease.
The concubine must know very well who the child in Chen Linlang's belly belongs to. Who in the entire Runan Palace doesn't know about Yuan Shao's return with Chen Linlang last time. The servants of the village are not blind. Chen Linlang's child is
Whose, everyone has a balance in their hearts. What the royal family cares about most is blood. Even if Yuan Shao feels sorry for Chen Linlang, he can't go against the ancestral precepts and bring the child into the palace. At best, he will regard him as an adopted son, so Liu Miao'er does not
She was not worried about the threat that the child would bring to her. What she was worried about was whether Chen Linlang would use this incident to cause some trouble.
"Miss, let's go back."
Seeing Liu Miao'er standing in the cold wind, Bi'er hurriedly took her cloak and let her in. Liu Miao'er turned around and returned to Zuiyuan, only to see Qinghun who was guarding Linlangyuan running over.
"Princess, the concubine, the concubine, she dived!" Qinghun came through the air and rushed to Liu Miao'er without caring about the difference between master and servant and said hurriedly.
What!
Liu Miao'er's expression changed, and regardless of why Chen Linlang suddenly acted like this, she hurriedly asked Qing Po to find Dr. Liu, while she held her belly and rushed towards Linlang Courtyard.
As the night fell, the lanterns were turned on, and the boy holding the lamp lit the lanterns in the palace one by one. Liu Miao'er entered Linlangyuan by candlelight, but heard the heartbreaking cry of a woman coming from the courtyard.
"Miss, Miss, why are you so stupid? Why can't you think about it so hard! If you leave, won't you let Liu Miao'er, the bitch who harmed you, succeed? Miss, Miss, wake up quickly. What will Ruyu do if you leave?
?”
The crying woman was Chen Linlang's personal maid Ruyu, and Xu was crying so much that her voice became hoarse. When Liu Miaoer entered Chen Linlang's house, Ruyu was lying on Chen Linlang's body, crying so hard that her heart broke.
"Come here, pull him away and let Dr. Liu see what's going on?"
Liu Miaoer shouted coldly and asked someone to pull Ruyu away. When Ruyu saw her, her expression turned ferocious and she couldn't wait to rush up and fight her: "Liu Miaoer, you bitch! You've hurt us.
Isn’t it enough for you, Miss? You still dare to come! Now that our Miss has become like this, you are happy and proud!"
Ruyu rushed towards Liu Miaoer madly, baring her teeth and claws with a ferocious face. Qinghun grabbed her wrist and imprisoned her. Doctor Liu came in from outside the house and came to Chen Linlang's bedside.
Chen Linlang's face was pale and her whole body was wet. It seemed that she had not changed her clothes when she was rescued from the water. Liu Miao'er ordered Bi'er and several maids to change her clothes, and then Dr. Liu made a careful diagnosis.
Perhaps because she was concerned about her young lady's safety, Ruyu also calmed down and waited quietly for Doctor Liu's diagnosis. After feeling his beard and feeling his pulse, Doctor Liu took out a silver needle and pricked several acupuncture points on Chen Linlang's head.
Next, when he felt Chen Linlang move, Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Princess, the concubine will be fine for the time being!"
Doctor Liu stood up and was about to write a prescription. Liu Miao'er hurriedly sent someone to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Chen Linlang, who was on the bed, slowly opened her eyes under Doctor Liu's injections. When she saw Liu Miao'er, she suddenly changed.
face.
"Get out of here, get out of here! It's you who made me like this. What are you doing here pretending to be here? Get out of here!"
The moment she saw Liu Miao'er, Chen Linlang got the strength to jump up from the bed and rushed towards Liu Miao'er. For the first time, she took off her weak disguise and turned into a shrew in front of her. Liu Miao'er's expression changed.
As soon as she saw Chen Linlang rushing toward her, she couldn't dodge, so she grabbed the collar of her clothes and pushed her hard.
"ah--"
Liu Miao'er's foot slipped and she screamed, hurriedly protecting her stomach. Fortunately, she still stood firm. But Chen Linlang refused to give up and flew towards her. Qing Po and Qing Hun on the side wanted to help Liu Miao'er.
It's too late.
Liu Miao'er reacted very quickly. The moment she was caught by Chen Linlang, she turned from passive to active and grabbed Chen Linlang's hand and pushed her away. Chen Linlang's weak body was no match for Liu Miao'er.
, was pushed to the ground all of a sudden. Liu Miaoer staggered back a few steps, and was about to fall, but was held up by a pair of hands that stretched out.
The familiar smell came, and Liu Miao'er looked up and saw that it was Yuan Shao who was back. His hair was messed up by the wind and covered with dust. He hugged Liu Miao'er into his arms. Liu Miao'er felt relieved and said to
Yuan Shao smiled, but saw Chen Linlang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly huddled together, holding her stomach in pain.
"Ah - it hurts. Help, help!" Chen Linlang huddled together in pain, trembling all over, and blood flowed from her lower body, staining her thin clothes red.
"Doctor Liu, come and take a look!"
Seeing this situation, Liu Miaoer's face turned pale and she hurriedly called Dr. Liu over. Dr. Liu hurriedly came over in the middle of writing the prescription, but saw Chen Linlang bleeding from her lower body. She hurriedly asked everyone to carry her to the bed, leaving a few maids to take care of her.
, and drove the others out.
"ah--"
Liu Miao'er was driven out of the house, while Yuan Shao stayed inside to inject vital energy into Chen Linlang to sustain his life. Chen Linlang's shrill screams came from the house, one after another, rattling Liu Miao'er's fragile nerves.
Just now, she pushed Chen Linlang. If the child died, was she the one who killed him?
No, no, Dr. Liu has excellent medical skills, this child can definitely be saved!
Liu Miaoer prayed in her heart. Although she knew that it was not her fault, she was just trying to protect herself and her children in self-defense, but after all, she was the one who blamed Chen Linlang. If it was really said, she would be the culprit no matter what.
!
So Liu Miao'er was anxious and anxiously waiting for the result. Until the time for two sticks of incense had passed, the screams in the room became quieter, and the only thing left was the familiar and miserable cry of Ruyu when she entered the yard just now.
"Miss, why are you so miserable! Prince, you have to make the decision for me!"
Without looking, Liu Miao'er could imagine that Ruyu was so miserable and resentful, kneeling in front of Yuan Shao and accusing her. The door opened, and Yuan Shao and Doctor Liu came out. Yuan Shao's sleeves were stained with blood, which was shocking.
"Man, how's it going?"
Hearing Ruyu's cry, Liu Miao'er had already predicted the outcome, but she still wanted to ask.
"The child is gone, but the adults are still there."
Yuan Shao looked at her and gave her an answer coolly. Doctor Liu also shook his head. When Liu Miaoer saw his appearance, she felt aggrieved. She opened her mouth to say something, but she saw him running out of the hospital.
A guard came and saw Yuan Shao and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Queen Mother and the Emperor suddenly came, and Liu Yuanwai from the Liu Mansion also came!"
What! Why did the Queen Mother and the Emperor come to the palace at this time? Why did my father come too!
Could it be that my father knew that I had been wronged here, so he came to defend me? No, it can't be like this. The Liu Mansion can't do anything to offend the powerful. If Longshan's affairs are exposed, everything will be over.
Liu Miao'er's expression changed drastically. At this time, she no longer bothered to explain Chen Linlang's matter to Yuan Shao. She held up her skirt and was about to rush out, but she saw a ball of fire coming from far away and a huge figure running towards her from a distance.
Even though they were so far apart, Liu Miao'er could still see the figure's face clearly.
That's Dad!
Why is it that he has an angry look on his face and Lin Zi is following him by his side?
"father!"
Liu Miao'er yelled and hurriedly walked over to stop Liu Yuanwai from messing around, but as soon as she reached Liu Yuanwai's side, Liu Yuanwai suddenly grabbed her hand. A pair of small eyes that were originally full of doting were now full of blood.
.Then he said nothing, took out a brocade bag from his arms and put it in Liu Miao'er's hand.
"Dad? What are you doing? This is the palace, you can't break in!"
Liu Miao'er looked at the poorly embroidered brocade bag in her hand and pushed Liu Yuanwai to let him leave quickly. However, not far away, she saw the Queen Mother and Xiao Leng walking towards them in casual clothes, followed by a kind-hearted person.
The old monk's eyes were clear and sharp, as if he could see through people's souls in an instant.
Damn it, things are in trouble now!
"Dad, stop making trouble. You go first. I will take care of things here, okay?"
In this world, apart from her children and Yuan Shao, what Liu Miaoer cares most about is the Liu Mansion. Now that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are visiting late at night, there must be something special, so she cannot let Liu Yuan go out for trouble.
But Liu Yuanwai looked at her, smiled and stuffed the brocade bag into Liu Miao'er's palm.
"Miss, this is what you asked for from Yuelao Temple. Do you remember?"
Liu Yuanwai narrowed his eyes and smiled, but his smile was full of frost, which made Liu Miaoer's heart tremble for no reason.
"Well, of course I remember. Dad, now is not the time to talk about this. You should go first!"
How could she know what happened to Liu Miao'er in the past? She only knew that she didn't want anything to happen to Liu Yuanwai and Lin Zi now. But after hearing her words, Liu Yuanwai's face suddenly darkened and he stretched out his hand to pinch Liu Miao'er's neck.
, the force was so great that Liu Miaoer was knocked out of breath.
"Who are you! You are not Miao'er. This brocade bag is Miao'er's first embroidery work. She has been keeping it. There is no way she doesn't recognize it! You are not Miao'er. Tell me, who are you!"
