The Wu family only has one daughter, Wu Huifang. When they heard that their daughter was being reloaded by a carriage on the street, the Wu family couple was so anxious that they were all fighting. They didn't care to ask any questions at the moment and hurried over there.
When they arrived, the doctor invited by the people on the street also came.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Father Wu asked with a trembling voice, looking at his daughter's pale face and the bright red blood beside her.
The doctor looked at them coming and sighed slightly.
"Hey, the situation is not very good. It has damaged the internal organs, and I'm afraid it will lead to the root cause of the disease."
Wu's mother cried when she heard this, "What happened? How could she be hit by a horse-drawn carriage on the street? How can she, a girl, survive if her family is affected by the disease?"
"Master, let's report to the official."
Wu's mother cried while pulling on Wu's father's sleeves, "This incident is definitely not an accident. We cannot see our daughter suffer such a disaster but not help her seek justice."
Wu's father had always loved his daughter, and she also helped him grow his reputation. Their business status was not very high, but their daughter helped them earn a lot of face.
Seeing his daughter like this now made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, report to the official! We must help Xianxian get justice."
"You guys, reporting officer, shouldn't be able to find anything. The person in the carriage just now has not shown up. Although the specifications of the carriage are higher than yours, there are still carriages like that on the street. And the most important thing is
,their horses...were frightened."
As soon as the onlookers heard that they wanted to report to the official, they persuaded them.
These words are not exaggerating the facts. I hope they can retreat in spite of the difficulties.
The common people in Beijing are all obsessed with things, and they all know very well what the final outcome of this matter will be.
If the family insists on reporting it to the authorities, they will get into trouble and they will all be dragged to testify. They don't want to deal with the authorities if nothing happens.
Although Father Wu was heartbroken, he was still rational after all.
As soon as they finished saying these words, he started to think twice. If things were really like what they said, he would only pay some money if he was frightened, but he would not be punished at all.
"Madam, the most important thing right now is the child. Save the child first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Wu's father patted Wu's mother's hand and asked her to calm down first.
Wu Mu bit her mouth and sobbed for a while, and finally nodded, "You are right, save Xianxian first, and then wait until she wakes up."
Their own children knew that Xianxian had never been the kind of person who would cause trouble outside.
But as soon as she thought about the child's future illness, her heart felt like being stabbed by a knife. How could she go to a party properly and end up like this!
Here, after Father Wu had communicated with the doctor about his daughter, there was still the matter of the maid that he needed to deal with.
Looking at the lifeless maid, Father Wu felt extremely uncomfortable. A good person was just gone...
He sent the coachman back and asked him to find a few people to come over and send the maid home to prepare for a grand burial.
He also asked someone to bring two hundred taels of silver with him. Normally, maids are sold under a contract, and whether they live or die has nothing to do with their original family, but they still have one life.
They are still willing to give up this little money.
It took Hui Xian Wu a full two months to recover from her injury. In the past two months, she had lost a lot of weight, and she had gained a bit of pity for her previous aloofness.
Wu's mother also lost weight along with her during this period, while Wu's father worked hard to make money as if he was stimulated.
It's not like he did nothing in the past two months.
In private, he went to investigate quietly, and he already had some clues. It was said that he was related to some noble person. When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it.
After all, it's all the palace's business, how can it have anything to do with them.
Later, after spending a lot of money, I found out that the news came from the palace and it was Concubine Meng's sister who had done it.
Father Wu was quite puzzled by this point. He knew what his daughter was like. She never had any conflicts with others. In the past, when she went to parties, she always went and returned happily.
I have never heard of any conflicts she had with others, and why she was suddenly harmed!
This Concubine Meng’s sister...
In fact, let alone Wu's father, even Wu Huixian herself couldn't figure out when she had offended anyone and she was targeted like this.
This incident made her completely realize how important identity is.
In the past, she was considered a relatively aloof person, and she had always looked down upon those outside who looked down on their status as merchants.
But after this incident, she regretted being a daughter.
If she were a boy, she would definitely take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the court!
In the palace, the emperor has always paid attention to Wu Huixian's movements. The emperor already knew when something happened to her, and he was ready to leave the palace to find her at that time.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Meng came to her again at that time and explained all these matters very honestly.
But her so-called explanation was clear, and the emperor later found out that she was lying.
It was said that her sister was ignorant and was very jealous when she saw Wu Huixian's talent, so she did such a thing. At that time, the emperor thought that the quarrel between the little girls would not be so serious.
After all, he was only interested in Priscilla Wu and had no background behind her. There was no need for him to make the Meng family unhappy because of the daughter of a merchant family.
I thought that I would just wait until she was healed and then go find her. Then when she entered the palace, I would just be nice to her.
But he didn't expect that some news he got later would make him very angry!
Concubine Meng was thrown into the cold palace on the spot, and the entire Meng family was implicated, and the family that was originally at the top of the family dropped several levels in an instant.
Looking at the pieces of evidence before them, the Meng family still couldn't figure out why this happened.
Little did they know that Concubine Meng had violated the emperor's taboo.
As an emperor, the most unbearable thing for him is when someone deceives him, which makes him feel like a fool and is being manipulated.
Just imagine, if an emperor had such an idea, the consequences would not be so easy.
However, this emperor was also very good at manipulating people's hearts. Later, he deliberately led Wu Huixian to think that his anger was because she was bullied.
So much so that Wu Huixian, who was still grieving about her identity, instantly developed a crush on such a superior man. This was a sufficient sense of security for her.
She knew in her heart that if something like this happened the first time, there would also be a second time.
So when the emperor asked to take her into the palace, she agreed without hesitation.
Although the Wu family did not agree with this matter, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, especially since their daughter's own stance was so firm.
Wu Huixian is not the kind of clingy person. The emperor was really kind to her when she first entered the palace. Although she did not say that she gave up the entire harem because of her, she did spend more time here than other places.
.
It didn't take long for her status to change a lot, from the lowest-level beauty to one of the four concubines.
The women in the harem are all evil wolves. They will do whatever it takes to protect everything they have. Priscilla Wu's arrival makes them feel a huge threat.
However, as Wu Huixian has been in the palace for longer and longer, they have gotten to know Wu Huixian a little bit. Although this woman can win the emperor's favor, she never knows how to use tricks.
And he has no backstage or background, so he is considered a safe person.
For those very shrewd harem women, especially those who knew their emperor very well, they decided to let Wu Huixian go after comprehensive consideration.
People like Wu Huixian are the safest, less pampering and more family interests guarantee, and they know what to choose after weighing the balance.
It is better to use her to tie the emperor's heart than to have another newcomer who doesn't know what kind of person he is.
In this way, Priscilla Wu spent her quiet three years in the harem.
The Wu family's business has been going very smoothly in the past three years. The emperor gave her father a sinecure position. Although he had no real power, he managed to get rid of the advantages of a merchant family and his status was much higher.
For this reason, Wu Huixian wrote a special letter to thank the emperor.
The emperor was very happy with her actions. Men... generally like interesting women.
Three years later, she found out she was pregnant.
Although the emperor is happy, he has already begun to look for someone new.
If a pregnant woman cannot serve him, then he cannot be blamed.
Wu Huixian, who knew this, was very calm, because she knew that she would end up like this from the day she entered the palace. Didn't all the women in the harem end up like this?
What's more, she already got everything she wanted.
It would be good to have a child to accompany her for the rest of her life. When the doctor said she would have the root of the disease, she was worried that she would not be able to conceive.
Now this is an unexpected surprise.
As a result, her performance pleased the emperor again. Although he did not dote on her as much as before and did not spend as much time with her, he did not neglect her either.
In the palace, in addition to status and the emperor's favor, there is also a fatal threat to everyone.
Imperial heir!
Any woman who can give birth to a prince is particularly jealous. Before Priscilla Wu gave birth, people always said she was carrying a princess.
She has also bribed the imperial physician who specializes in taking her pulse.
She was pregnant for ten months, and not only was she not framed, she was also treated very kindly by everyone.
Wu Huixian is no longer the innocent girl who knows nothing about the world. Their superficial work and gloating about others' misfortunes make her feel very ridiculous.
Once she gave birth, all the women in the harem wanted to tear her apart!
