"You really did throw it away. We are the personal maids to the princess."
The old wounds had not yet healed, and now, her face was deathly pale as she looked at the several guards at the gates of Prince Jing's mansion. She tugged at Yin Gou. "Let's not talk about this anymore. We have to think of another way."
"But Miss, right now …"
"Enough, find another way." Qing Dai's expression became much more serious. Yin Gou pursed her lips and pulled Qing Dai up from the ground. "We are only two maidservants. Should …"
"Prime Minister's estate, young miss is the master's daughter after all. We can't just watch her die!"
Qing Dai's eyes were firm and determined. Her palm had been scratched by her fingernails and was bleeding. She was completely oblivious to it.
The two maidservants walked all the way to the Prime Minister's Estate, but they were stopped by the door, "The second miss has already informed you about the poison. If you two came to the Prime Minister's Estate for help, there's no need.
Qing Dai's body swayed as she felt dizzy.
"That's the eldest daughter of the old master, don't tell me she's really going to stand idly by and watch him die!"
"Master said not to save him."
With that, the door to the Prime Minister's Estate slowly closed.
The two of them had nowhere to go, they only wanted to find the Fourth Prince to help the Miss, but they couldn't even get past Litchi Bay.
"The fourth prince is a close friend of Crown Princess Jing. The reason you've come for help this time is because you want to drag him into the water. Even if Princess Jing knew, she wouldn't be happy. The two of you should return to the medicine house." Litchi Bay looked at the two of them condescendingly. In the end, they only got the maidservants to take out two bags of silver taels and give them to Yin Gou.
The door was still tightly shut.
Moreover, how could the Solemn World and the Misty Rain Pavilion interfere in the affairs of Prince Jing's estate?
The only thing she could do now was to go to the medicine house and pray that nothing would happen to Gu Daiyan.
When he woke up, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, not to mention the fact that he seemed to have lost all feeling in that secret place.
If she knew that she would become so weak, it would have been better for her not to struggle at all.
An arm gently pulled her up from the bed. There was no familiar smell of medicine in the room, but it was filled with a faint fragrance. The rustling of the leaves next to her ear became louder and louder.
Duan Chengxuan's voice entered her ears as well. "You have to take care of your body."
"I didn't expect you to do anything for Su Yuwan." Gu Danyan lifted her hand to flip the soup bowl near her mouth. When she lifted her wrist, the sound of the iron chains clashing against each other was so clear that it only made her eyes turn red: "Why don't you kill me?"
Duan Cheng Xuan looked at the water stain on her hand and could only hold back the rage in her heart.
"Don't push yourself too far."
"Kill me."
Gu Liuyan had already raised her hand to feel for the fragments of the missing bowl, but it was a pity that Duan Chengxuan quickly grabbed her moving wrist and said in a clear voice, "Chengshan, feed it to her."
"Yes."
The bitter soup blocked her throat, the suffocating pain and the struggling of choking water all made her endlessly miserable. When the soup and the Ageng of the soup in Cheng Shan's hands completely disappeared, she only stopped struggling and coughed a few times before starting to laugh maniacally.
"What are you laughing at?" Duan Cheng Xuan didn't like to see her smile like this all the time.
Only when the pain in her head made her faint did she feel as if a rag had been thrown onto the bed. Since the last time she was injured, her body was extremely thin, and Duan Chengxuan could easily break her neck and take her flesh to use as a medicinal catalyst for Su Yu Wan.
The gangster in charge rushed over and only checked her pulse before whispering, "My prince! She had already lost a lot of blood and Qi, so it would be better for her to just kill her … "Ahhh!"
The thin and weak martial artist who had been knocked to the ground spat out a mouthful of blood while lying on the ground, unconscious for a long time.
Cheng Shan hurriedly came in and silently looked at Duan Chengxuan who was beside the bed. He too pulled the martial arts instructor out without saying a word and tossed him to his subordinates, sending him to the Hall of Relief to help.
Your highness, what do you think of her?
At this moment, within the room, Duan Chengxuan was looking at Gu Daiyan, who was breathing heavily on the bed, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
"As long as you have a baby, I don't need to kill you. Although you didn't poison her, you still did something to her. If you found out that you didn't add any medicine, you wouldn't have hurt her at all." As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke up to this point, she was actually extremely infuriated.
He only stretched out his hand to hold her neck, but when he saw the wounds on her body, he blankly withdrew his hand.
He only left this room, and his gaze swept over the servants before him as well as the two servant girls that were reprimanded by Cheng Shan. "Take good care of my wife, I come here every three days."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The people before him knelt before Duan Cheng Xuan in unison.
All of this was just for the sake of helping her give birth safely if she had a child.
Everyone outside knew that Princess Jing was seriously ill and had been sent to a courtyard outside of Tianyan to recuperate. Only everyone in the Jing King Manor knew that it was impossible to predict whether Princess Jing would live or die. If she still wanted to be a good servant in the Jing King Manor, the best choice would be to properly treat Su Yuwan as the future consort.
Even though it was autumn, Duan Chengxuan still planted many flowers and plants for people who were unable to go out. Currently, the courtyard was flourishing with leaves, and the servants were taking care of it day and night.
Today, Su Yu Wan was only half lying on the soft couch. She sat in the hall looking outside, but she only drank the soup and laughed at herself: "I'm afraid I won't be able to step out of the main courtyard for a long time."
Mu Qing, who was at the side, only took a glance at the time and lowered his eyelids, "Why are you so fixated on Duan Chengxuan? Isn't it fine to be a suave woman? "You should have known that Duan Chengxuan wasn't infatuated with you, but …"
"I know, but I'll definitely be able to get him." Su Yuwan coughed a few times before raising her head to look at Mu Qing, her gaze turning cold. "Moreover, since I am by Brother Yu Xuan's side, why should I let that woman who made Brother Xuan's heart move be at ease?! and even caused Big Brother Xuan to be worried about us day and night! "
"You're crazy." Mu Qing looked at her in disbelief as he bent down to take her pulse. "Do you know that your body was weakened from taking too little medicine? Now that you've taken the poison, your lifespan …"
"Even if he dies, he should at least make Big Brother Xuan remember for his entire life. His life, should be mine." Su Yu impatiently brushed his hand away: "If you really want to make me feel bad, then scram far away."
Mu Qing struggled for a while before retracting his hand and taking the empty medicine bowl away, leaving her alone.
