The fear in her heart caused her to perspire profusely, and in her panic, she forced herself to shout Rui Dong's name.
Rui Dong sleepily ran in and lit the lamp. When she turned her head, he saw the pale face of Duan Xiaohe and the dark red bloodstains on the bed sheets. With a loud bang, she turned around and ran out of the room, quickly calling for a doctor.
Duan Xiaohe was in so much pain that she couldn't say anything. She wished that she could have someone she could trust to stay by her side, but now, other than Jin Gui's identity, she had nothing else.
Rui Dong was also sweating profusely from anxiety. She rushed out and called for two guards, saying that if the imperial physician left too slowly, he would directly send the person here with a light cultivation on his back. Duan Xiaohe was afraid in her heart, so she could only tightly hold onto Rui Dong's hand as if this was all she could depend on.
The situation was urgent, so Rui Dong immediately sent someone to call for the royal family, so she did not have much time to come. Duan Xiaohe was already drenched in cold sweat. She did not even have the strength to extend her hand when the imperial physician wanted to check her pulse.
The reason was simple. He ate something that he shouldn't have, and there were signs of a low yield.
Rui Dong said with hatred and certainty that there was something wrong with the things that Begonia had taken. Otherwise, why would she come all the way here and Duan Xiaohe would show signs of being a small-time prostitute?
Duan Xiaohe's heart sank to the bottom and her entire body froze. The imperial physician had diagnosed her and temporarily controlled the critical situation. There was a prescription written on it, so he quickly called for people to fry it. Every quarter of an hour was spent taking a pulse, causing the elderly imperial physician to be a large man.
Finally recovering from her shock, Duan Xiaohe looked into the distance, gritted her teeth and pointed at her marriage certificate, telling Rui Dong to bring the scented sachet over for the imperial physician to see if there were any problems. Rui Dong lowered her head, saying that she had already taken the thing away when Duan Xiaohe was not paying attention, and had left the incense in her room.
Duan Xiaohe frowned, and thought back to what had happened. Something flashed through her mind, so fast she couldn't catch it. She was lost in thought for a while, but she still couldn't figure it out. She decided to just forget about it.
After a while, Rui Dong came over, and brought along the plate of snacks that she hadn't finished yet. The imperial physician first checked the perfume bag. Inside, there were only some ordinary herbs used to repel mosquitoes. There was no problem. Then he went to check on the plate of pastries and also shook his head, saying there was no problem.
Rui Dong was stunned for a moment, and asked again in detail if she didn't believe her. When Duan Xiaohe heard the imperial physician's words, she heaved a sigh of relief.
With Duan Xiaohe's identity, she should never be careless in this kind of thing. The imperial physician had personally inspected every part of the room, and the degree of seriousness she had was as different as transforming into a venomous dog.
"Impossible, the princess' body has already been well treated. All of a sudden, it seems like she's only eating something or smelling something irritating …" If the emperor asks about this, I must have an explanation! "
The imperial doctors were walking in circles anxiously, so how good could Rui Dong be? If this matter really were to be investigated, the first person to die would be her personal maid.
"I probably made it myself these past two days. Forget it, I'll explain this matter to the Emperor myself when he asks."
The two of them were on the verge of tears. Was there even a need to ask a little emperor? The little emperor's way of doing things was to first chop people off and then come back to inform Duan Xiaohe.
"Just take it as if it didn't happen today and just mind your own business. Rui Dong, send the imperial physician out, I want to lie down for a while longer. "
Rui Dong and the imperial physician looked at each other. They had the nagging feeling that they would need to move soon. Rui Dong opened her mouth first, called for the servants to clean up the bed, and helped her lie down, then sent her out.
The imperial doctor said before he left that Duan Xiaohe's body could no longer take the torture, and that once again, no matter how strong she was, it would be difficult to save him. So from now until the day she had the baby, she must not get down to the ground as long as she could lie in bed.
Rui Dong nodded her head, she did not dare be careless now, even if Duan Xiaohe was not willing to lie on the bed, she had the idea of using a rope to tie him up.
After the imperial physician with a heavy heart came out from his Princess Mansion, he entered the palace with an idea. He stood in front of the little emperor's sleeping quarters for an entire two hours, until the little emperor changed his court attire and went to the imperial court. Then, he stopped him at the entrance of the palace.
Hearing this, the little emperor was enraged, he did not care about the arrival of the morning assembly, and directly killed his way to Princess Mansion.
The moment Rui Dong saw the little emperor, both her legs went limp and she immediately kneeled down. Seeing that pair of bright yellow boots getting closer and closer, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly anymore.
"You are the princess' personal maid. If you dare to say you don't know, I will pull you out and chop you into pieces."
Rui Dong felt a chill on the back of her neck, she only felt that with a blade at her back, her life would be taken in the next second.
"Liu Yang, come in."
Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked at the little Emperor. And it was only Duan Xiaohe who was so daring to call out the Little Emperor's name. He was simply courting death. Who knew that when the little emperor heard this, he would walk in nervously with a face full of worry, not even sparing Rui Dong a glance.
"What's going on?"
The little emperor walked quickly to her bedside. His court clothes were fragrant, and the smell of his walk carried along with it. It was clear and light, rather fragrant.
Taste!
Duan Xiaohe's body trembled, and the parts of her mind that were stuck there became clear. She quickly lowered her eyes, her heart pounding.
The little emperor's expression eased up a bit, but her face was still pale. Seeing that she was half sitting up with a few cushions that she had stuffed behind her back, the little emperor helped her to get the cushions ready so that she could lean on them more comfortably.
Leaning on the soft cushion, Duan Xiaohe let out a comfortable snort. On the contrary, it was making the little emperor extremely nervous. She giggled, thinking that the imperial physician was too unkind. She had said that she would take responsibility for the matter last night and had even pricked the ears of the little emperor, telling him to come and kill her before daybreak. Fortunately, she could not sleep, otherwise, Rui Dong's little life would have been gone.
"You're still able to smile. Do you know that as long as there's even the slightest bit of accident, all the people in your Princess Mansion will be beheaded?"
The corner of Duan Xiaohe's eyes twitched, and she blurted out, "It's been too hot these past two days, so I went to the kitchen and got myself a bowl of Ice … I was hiding this from Rui Dong, who would have known that my body would fall apart so easily? You really can't blame anyone else for this, but the imperial physician must have made a big fuss over nothing. Don't you see that I'm doing fine? "
The little emperor's expression was cold as he snorted, "You actually dared to lie to me like that. If you weren't my sister, I wouldn't even care if you lived or died. I heard that you are relatively close with the shopkeeper of Shangyi Store? "
Duan Xiaohe's tiger body shook, "The royal doctors have already checked, there are no problems with the incense bag and the pastries! "Begonia and I are sisters. Her father is the Minister of Police, and he took care of me in the village. Our two families are like a family …"
"You are a princess now." The little emperor cut her off with a cold voice. The frost in his eyes had a resolution that no one could ignore. I don't care what you were like before, you just need to remember your current identity and recognize your own position. "Since you've chosen to return to the capital to be a princess, you should forget about the things that happened in the past."
She had thought of this at the beginning, but now, she realized that she didn't want these things at all. She regretted it, but what was the use of regretting it. How could she tell the little Emperor that she wanted to go back to the countryside and farm?
Duan Xiaohe's heart flipped over. She couldn't be a princess, but she couldn't be the Duan Xiaohe of the past either.
"You really don't know who did it?"
She shook her head. "The only people I've seen in this period of time are these few people. You can look them up. They are the people I trust the most, so they won't harm me."
The little emperor looked at her solemnly. "It's best if you do that."
He rushed over immediately, and when he saw that Duan Xiaohe was fine, he calmed down. However, he also instructed the Grand Princess Mansion to be on high alert, they could not allow this to happen again. Other than the Little County Princess, all the other people's requests to see him were rejected.
The old eunuch by the young emperor's side whispered something into his ear. The young emperor's expression changed slightly, then he turned around and left with quick steps.
Rui Dong ran in with bloodshot eyes and knelt in front of the bed and kowtowed twice, scaring Duan Xiaohe enough.
"I'm not dead yet, and you're already hitting me?"
Rui Dong wiped away her tears, thanking Duan Xiaohe for speaking up for her. She waved her hand nonchalantly, telling the little girl not to think too much into it. She was tired and wanted to rest.
As he closed the door, Duan Xiaohe's expression suddenly changed. His clear black and white eyes from before were filled with too many complex emotions; disappointment, pain, hesitation, guilt and sadness.
Duan Xiaohe always thought that no matter how much a person changed, their heart would never change. However, when she smelled the smell of the little emperor's incense, he immediately remembered that when the crabapple came yesterday, the smell on her body didn't seem to be incense or spices. Instead, it smelled like herbal medicine.
In that moment, Duan Xiaohe was almost certain that the person who wanted to harm his son was none other than Begonia.
Even Qian Qiaoqiao said that if the transvestite's fate were to fall upon him, he wouldn't be able to forgive others so easily. At that time, she was still standing beside him, mocking him for his words …
She was the one who harmed the Begonia. What ability did she have to ask him to be magnanimous and treat her like how he always did? Duan Xiaohe really wanted to stab herself twice. No matter how much she felt sorry for him, she owed him in the end.
Her child was still safe, but the transvestite's innocence …
Shangyi Store.
When Begonia was slapped onto the table, she covered her face and turned to look at the handsome man that had just attacked her with a sneer. As long as you are willing, many women will be willing to give birth to your son. She's not your child in the stomach, so what's the point of you being so concerned? "
Ye Zichen slapped her again, causing her to taste blood.
"I don't care about the women in the world, she is the only one who can give birth to my son."
"The transvestite was so numb that it couldn't shed tears." What about me? "
