Regarding Qin Fanghao's sudden visit, Qin Rushuang thought that she was coming with bad intentions and at least wanted to stir up some trouble.
But I didn't expect that Qin Fanghao really just ate a few pieces of walnut cake and left without even uttering any provocation.
Looking at Qin Fanghao's leaving figure, Su Meiren was a little surprised, "I thought she was coming to cause trouble, why did she just...leave?"
Qin Rushuang was also very suspicious, so she sent someone to the east courtyard as soon as Qin Fanghao left.
The news that the servants returned to the people was that everything was as usual after Qin Fanghao arrived in the east courtyard.
This made Qin Rushuang a little unpredictable.
"Perhaps it's just like what she said. She's afraid that it's against the rules not to visit you for so long?" said the Sumerian.
Qin Rushuang sneered and said, "Come on, when she was still the concubine's favorite, have you ever seen her treat me like a princess? Now that she is a concubine, she has no reason to obey the rules."
Qin Fanghao was really annoying. After saying a few words, Qin Rushuang didn't want to talk anymore. She waved her hands and said, "Don't mention her as an unlucky person. Let's talk about something else."
Of course, Qin Rushuang said this, but she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
And this uneasiness became a reality at night.
They were already about to fall asleep when a commotion suddenly came from the east courtyard.
First there were the screams of the maids, and then there were the sounds of people coming and going. Qin Rushuang had already fallen asleep, but she sat up and put on some clothes.
Qingzhi lit the lamp in the room and asked: "Princess, there is some movement in the east courtyard. You should go to bed first. I will go and take a look first."
Just as Qingzhi finished speaking, the door to the main courtyard was suddenly knocked open with a bang.
Qingzhi was startled and immediately protected Qin Rushuang behind her.
The lights in the room were dim, and she didn't see who was coming. She just shouted loudly: "Who is it? How dare you break into the princess's residence in the middle of the night?!"
It wasn't until the person at the door spoke that Qin Rushuang heard her voice.
It was the little maid who said during dinner that day that Qin Fang was such a bitter girl and wanted to give birth to a son.
"The princess is not well! My master has abdominal pain and can't get up!"
Qin Rushuang sat up straight and put on her clothes, "What's going on?"
"I don't know this! I was about to go to sleep, but my concubine suddenly said that her stomach hurt. After a while, the pain became worse and worse, and now I can't get up! Princess, please go and have a look with your servant!"
Something happened in the backyard. As a royal concubine, Qin Rushuang had the responsibility to investigate. However, she followed the little maid halfway and then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you notified the prince?"
The little maid walked very fast and looked very anxious. When she heard this, she stopped and said, "The prince hasn't come back from the military camp yet, so I came to find you!"
"Wait a minute, Qingzhi, you first send someone to the military camp to invite the prince."
Before Qin Rushuang finished speaking, the little maid stamped her feet anxiously, "Princess, you'd better go and take a look first! The concubine is really in severe pain, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb you in the middle of the night!"
Qin Rushuang thought for a moment and was ready to follow her to the east courtyard.
It was late at night, and Qingzhi was worried about Qin Rushuang being alone. He saw someone following the little maid, so he said to him: "Go to the concierge to send a message and ask someone to call the prince back quickly."
After Qingzhi finished her instructions, she did not go, but closely followed Qin Rushuang's footsteps and went to the east courtyard together.
Before entering the door of the east courtyard, Qin Rushuang heard Qin Fanghao's wailing.
"Ah... it hurts... my stomach... my child..."
Qin Rushuang heard that her voice was stern and it didn't sound like she was pretending, so she quickly asked Qingzhi to open the door and walk in.
Qingzhi also stepped into the courtyard gate after Qin Rushuang entered.
It stands to reason that since Qin Fang was wailing like this, there should be a lot of servants waiting in the east courtyard, but for some reason, there was no one in the courtyard after they came in.
Before Qin Rushuang had time to think about it, the courtyard door behind her suddenly slammed shut.
Qingzhi was startled. Qin Rushuang had a bad intuition and said to Qingzhi: "Go and open the courtyard door!"
Qingzhi pulled a few times and said in panic: "Princess! This door can't be opened!"
In the room, Qin Fanghao's wailing was even louder. Qin Rushuang frowned, feeling that what happened today was not simple.
She looked around again and confirmed that there seemed to be no other person in the yard except Qin Fanghao, and her heart became even heavier.
Qingzhi was obviously aware of this and said to Qin Rushuang: "Princess? Do we want to go in? Is Qin Fang setting some trap to harm you?"
"Everyone in the yard has been evacuated. Now we are the master and her servant alone. Even if we stay here and don't go in, we still can't tell."
Qin Rushuang said again: "It's my fault. This happened so suddenly. I didn't think of guarding against her."
"Then what should we do?" Qingzhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "How about I go and break the door open?"
Qin Rushuang frowned, "Forget it. Since she brought us here and locked the door, she has no intention of letting us out. Let's go in and see what she wants to do."
Qin Rushuang thought Qin Fanghao was using some trick to frame her, but as soon as she entered the room, she felt something was wrong.
There was a strong smell of blood in the room.
Qin Rushuang walked to the bed in three steps and two steps at a time, only to see that Qin Fanghao's face was pale, and her skirt was already red!
Before Qin Rushuang had time to talk to Qin Fanghao, Qin Fanghao, who was still wailing loudly, suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Sister! I have retreated again and again, why are you forcing me to this point?"
Qin Rushuang staggered when she pulled her. Qingzhi rushed over to help her. Qin Rushuang was not someone to be trifled with, so she immediately threw Qin Fang away and held her hand.
"There are only three of us in the yard. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Her face was soaked with sweat, and she was holding the quilt firmly with one hand. She was obviously in extreme pain, but what didn't match her pale face was the madness in her eyes.
"Speak directly? Then I will tell you directly! Sister, why do you want to harm me? I have unbearable abdominal pain, bleeding, and I can't save the child. Why do you want to harm me?!"
As if to respond to Qin Fang's good words, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" sound of banging on the door outside the yard.
"Princess! Princess, please open the door quickly! The concubine's body cannot be delayed, please let the villain in quickly!"
The doctor's voice sounded loudly outside the door.
"Green Branch! Go and see what's going on at the door!"
Qingzhi trotted to the courtyard gate to check, and when he came back, his face was pale with fright.
"Princess! How could this happen? When we first came in, they clearly locked the door from the outside, but now, now..."
"Our door is locked from the inside! What a big iron lock! The door is locked firmly from the inside! People from outside can't get in, Princess!"
Qin Rushuang turned her head sharply and looked at Qin Fanghao, who was still laughing maniacally on the bed, "Did you design all this?"
"What are you talking about, sister? You obviously couldn't see that I was pregnant with the prince's child. When my fetus was unstable, you prevented the doctor from coming in to diagnose me. That's why I want to ask my sister, what is the purpose of designing all this?"
