"Your Majesty, please spare Chu'er, he is only two months old."
The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the man in rich clothes above her. The bright red on her forehead slowly flowed down her cheeks, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Prince Xiao put his hands on his lower back and looked at the sleeping baby in the nurse's arms with a look of unbearable sadness.
Lu Xiu rushed over and knelt in front of the girl: "Princess, you are too worried. Young Master Chu'er is in good health. Even the miracle doctor said that he will be fine after taking heart blood this time. But the concubine can't wait for a moment. Princess, please do it."
OK, save the concubine."
Chu Yunning waved away her green sleeves and raised her head, revealing her pale face stained with blood. Like a Rakshasa crawling from hell, she stared straight at King Xiao and shouted loudly: "If you want to take blood, you can use me."
of!"
Wang Xiao's cold eyes looked at the woman and his eyes softened: "The miracle doctor said that only Chu'er's blood can be used. I promise you that after taking the blood, you will immediately ask to register Chu'er as the crown prince."
Chu Yunning bit her lip tightly. She hated King Xiao for being so cold-blooded and ruthless, not even sparing a two-month-old child.
During the stalemate, an old man with a white beard came out of the room and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if Concubine Ye doesn't take the medicine in time, her life may be in danger. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
"You quack, you're talking nonsense!" Chu Yunning jumped up and pointed at the old man and yelled.
Prince Xiao stopped Chu Yunning and persuaded patiently: "I will definitely keep him safe, so just carry him in."
"Your Majesty!" Chu Yunning struggled hard and cried, watching helplessly as the nanny carried Chu'er into the house.
A moment later, the sound of a baby crying was heard. Chu Yunning's heart was almost broken, and he beat Prince Xiao's chest crazily.
Prince Xiao still held her arm with a cold face, tied his other hand behind her waist, and let her kick her.
inside the house
Concubine Ye, who was rumored to be about to die of illness, was holding her baby in her arms with great interest, her jade-white fingertips gently tracing the face of the crying baby.
Through the thick screen, I couldn't see clearly from the outside, but I could only hear the child's heart-wrenching cry.
Concubine Ye's charming little face was full of pleasure, and she personally picked up the dagger and inserted it into the baby's body little by little.
After just a moment, the crying stopped suddenly.
Concubine Ye handed the swaddling clothes to Luxiu's hand and slowly wiped the blood in her hand. Her pure little face was full of cruelty, and her red lips lightly opened: "Don't forget that you and your family are still in my hands. What will happen to you later?"
When you reply, please be careful!"
Several people outside the screen were trembling and saying yes again and again.
Half an hour later, the nanny came out in a panic, holding the baby in her arms. Perhaps she was walking too hastily and tripped at the threshold.
Chu Yunning's heart was in her throat: "Be careful!"
Fortunately, the nanny stood firm and knelt directly in front of King Xiao.
"Back... back to the prince, Master Chu'er... he has lost too much blood and is out of breath." The nurse couldn't even finish her frightening words.
Chu Yunning's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and she snatched the swaddling clothes from the nanny's hand. Chu'er's face turned purple, and the swaddling clothes were covered with bright red.
"Chu'er?"
Chu Yunning shouted softly, but the little baby had already stopped moving.
"What the hell is going on!" Prince Xiao shouted angrily.
The nurse was hesitating and unable to explain clearly, then the old man with a white beard walked out tremblingly.
Prince Xiao grabbed the man, lifted up the old man's collar, and stared at him with eyes as dark as thick ink: "Didn't you say it's foolproof?"
"Your Majesty..." The old man was so frightened that he trembled all over. He was completely different from the righteous and sworn miracle doctor before, and he apologized with tears in his eyes.
King Xiao's fist clenched loudly, and suddenly a shrill scream brought him back to his senses.
Chu Yunning hugged the baby and cried loudly. Prince Xiao couldn't bear it, so he let go of the old man's collar and turned around to help Chu Yunning.
A word of debt feels like a lump in your throat.
Chu Yunning raised her eyes, a pair of cold and piercing eyes full of hatred were fixed on Prince Xiao, she moved her lips, unable to suppress the surge in her chest, she suddenly spit out black blood, rolled her eyes and fainted.
three months later
Concubine Ye, who was seriously ill and was about to die, recovered and was as favored as before.
But the princess was not so lucky. After being ill for three months, she woke up and forgot everything.
For some reason, his temper became more and more violent, and he would hit people frequently, often leaving the maid covered with bruises.
King Xiao often visited him, and Chu Yunning became more and more dependent on King Xiao.
Privately everyone was saying that the princess was crazy.
As for the cause of Master Chu'er's death, Prince Xiao ordered no one to mention that a maid had discussed it in private and was beaten to death in public after being discovered.
"The prince went to accompany the princess again?" Ye Yaner's bright and charming face was twisted.
Lu Xiu muttered: "I think the princess is deliberately pretending to be crazy to win the prince's sympathy. Once the princess gives birth to another child..."
Ye Yaner's phoenix eyes flashed with flames. She could not stop Prince Xiao from visiting the princess. After all, the princess had lost her child, so she had to be generous and kind.
"It's not an option to continue like this. I have to think of a way. I can't carry this debt forever."
Ye Yaner waved to Luxiu and whispered a few words in her ear.
Luxiu nodded: "Concubine, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away."
On this day, King Xiao came into the palace to discuss business matters. Chu Yunning was sitting in the pavilion, blowing in the wind.
Ye Yan'er came over and called her princess. Chu Yun Ning turned around and looked at her blankly. Ye Yan'er suddenly smiled and whispered a few words into Chu Yun Ning's ear.
Chu Yunning was at a loss and in disbelief. Ye Yaner pointed to her heart: "Thanks to Chu'er's blood, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. Chu'er cried so miserably that day that even I couldn't bear it. I could only
Watching helplessly as the tip of the knife sliced his heart bit by bit..."
Chu'er?
Chu Yunning was so stimulated that waves of memories flashed through her mind, and she covered her head and wailed in pain.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Yaner stood at the edge of the pool, yelling that the princess didn't want it, and then fell into the water with a plop.
two hours later
Chu Yunning was held down on the bench by the guards, and the board behind him hit her back hard.
Prince Xiao glared at Chu Yunning, his eyes wishing he could scratch her alive.
"If Yan'er has any shortcomings, I will never forgive her lightly!"
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yunning had large beads of sweat on his forehead, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen.
The blood on the lower body spread along the skirt and quickly soaked through the clothes. The thick fishy smell in the yard was nauseating.
"Your Majesty, if we continue to fight, someone will be killed. Please spare the princess." Hong'er kowtowed to Prince Xiao.
Prince Xiao was condescending and ignored Hong'er. His cold eyes stared at Chu Yunning, and his pity turned into disgust: "You are pretending to be the same, and you deceived me for three whole months!"
At this time, shrill screams came from the room, and then Lu Xiu rushed out and knelt in front of Prince Xiao: "Your Majesty, the concubine..."
"What's wrong with the concubine?" Prince Xiao was anxious.
"The doctor said that the concubine was bleeding too much and the child could not be saved. When the concubine heard about it, she immediately collapsed."
"What!" Prince Xiao didn't care much and rushed into the inner room.
Ye Yan'er snuggled tightly in Prince Xiao's arms, her face turned pale and she cried: "It's all Yan'er's fault. It's Yan'er's fault for not keeping the child. Your Majesty, that is our first child..."
Prince Xiao was extremely distressed and kept comforting Ye Yaner.
"Your Majesty, the doctor said that Yan'er can no longer have children. Is it true?"
Ye Yaner raised her face full of tears and looked at Prince Xiao expectantly.
King Xiao was speechless.
He had asked the doctor just now. Ye Yaner's health was not good to begin with, so she was extremely lucky to be able to survive this miscarriage.
Ye Yan'er cried out of breath in Prince Xiao's arms, but she didn't mention Chu Yun Ning at all.
King Xiao looked solemn and said nothing. He was heartbroken by the loss of two children one after another.
After Ye Yaner was tired from crying and closed her eyes and fell asleep, Prince Xiao walked out.
Glancing at Chu Yunning, there was unconcealed cold disgust in her eyes: "Yan'er will never be able to have children again. From today on, the grudge between you and Yan'er will be wiped out. Yan'er will no longer owe you anything."
Chu Yunning was weak and pale, lying on the stool and her whole body was soaked. She couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood.
He raised his head with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I did not push Concubine Ye. I was wrongly accused."
"That's enough!" Prince Xiao didn't want to listen to Chu Yunning's explanation anymore: "Yan'er didn't know when the blood was taken from the heart. It was done by me alone. Today, you harmed Yan'er because of your nature. Under my nose.
We will not tolerate people with evil thoughts."
"Come here, throw Mrs. Chu into Lengxiang Garden and lock her up. You are not allowed to take a single step without my permission!"
Chu Yunning stretched out her hand and grabbed Prince Xiao's hem, and said word by word with difficulty: "Whether the prince believes it or not, I did not push Concubine Ye."
"How dare you deny it in full view of everyone!" Prince Xiao suddenly pulled back the hem and left a sentence impatiently to explain himself.
Chu Yunning's vision gradually blurred, and she watched King Xiao's retreating back.
Lengxiangyuan
Chu Yunning couldn't remember how long she had been asleep. There was a faint cry of the maid in her ears, and she struggled to open her eyelids.
very noisy!
it hurts!
Her whole body felt like it was falling apart, especially her lower body. The slightest movement caused a heart-piercing pain, and she almost fainted from the pain.
"Hiss!" gasped.
When Hong'er heard the movement, she raised her head and said in surprise: "Princess, you're awake."
princess?
Chu Yunning rubbed his head, and a wave of confusing memories came over him.
She was the only legitimate daughter of General Chu. Because she had been in love with King Xiao for many years, she begged General Chu to ask the emperor for marriage.
The emperor agreed because General Chu had great military achievements and gave her the title of Princess Xiao.
But King Xiao didn't like her, he only liked the legitimate daughter of Ye Yushi's family.
King Xiao married Ye Yan'er in the third month after marrying her. He was afraid that she would be wronged, so he gave the housekeeping power to Ye Yan'er.
Although Ye Yan'er is a side concubine, her treatment is much higher than that of the main concubine.
Before Ye Yan'er entered the house, Prince Xiao had never touched her once. He waited for his beloved woman to enter the house before having sex with her.
She got pregnant with Chu'er just once. She finally gave birth to Chu'er in ten months of pregnancy, but Ye Yan'er unexpectedly got a strange disease.
She was often unconscious and the doctors were helpless. Later, she met a miracle doctor who claimed that he could cure Ye Yan'er's illness.
This disease requires the blood of the patient to be used as the medicine. Since Ye Yaner and Xiao Wang both ate the Celestial Silkworm Gu, the medicine must be of the same blood as Xiao Wang.
Prince Xiao had suffered from a head disease before and could not be chosen as a medicine guide. There were only three people in the world who could do it. One was Prince Xiao's biological brother, the current emperor, one was the Queen Mother, and the last one was Chu'er who was two months old.
The emperor and the queen mother were directly eliminated, leaving only Chu'er.
Chu Yunning cursed loudly, which sounded like a trap, deliberately targeting Chu Er.
The bastard King Xiao believed it and directly killed Chu Er.
The original owner was hit and lost his memory, and was tricked by Ye Yan'er. By coincidence, Ye Yan'er was pregnant for more than a month.
Ye Yaner's body was cold, and this was the first time that Riri Chengchong was pregnant. Prince Xiao couldn't wait to hold her in the palm of his hand, and he took all precautions, but something unexpected happened.
She didn't remember pushing Ye Yan'er, but Ye Yan'er took the initiative to provoke her. As the two of them were fighting, Ye Yan'er fell into the river.
But this debt was placed on the original owner in a confused way. Damn it!
Chu Yunning gritted her teeth and secretly vowed that she would take revenge. She sorted out her memories and saw Hong'er bursting into tears. She endured the pain and patted her shoulder: "Stop crying now. I'm not dead."
Hong'er suddenly stopped crying and sniffed.
"Find a way to get some medicine, otherwise your master will really die."
Hong'er was stunned, where could Lengxiangyuan go to get medicinal materials?
Chu Yunning casually touched her head, pulled out a few gold hairpins randomly, and stuffed a pair of jade earrings into Hong'er's arms: "Take these and ask the concierge to buy some medicine."
Money makes the world go round, and she believes in this truth wherever she goes.
She is a top medical professor from the 21st century. She is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine. She checked her pulse when she woke up just now.
She is weak and has faint signs of miscarriage, so she must take medicine.
The reason why Chu Yunning became pregnant was because Prince Xiao was plotted against at the palace banquet a month ago, so he had to sleep with her as a last resort.
What a coincidence, I got pregnant again.
As expected, Hong'er quickly bought what she needed, a few sets of medicine and a pack of silver needles.
In order to deceive others, she deliberately mixed up the medicinal materials. On the surface, some of them were for treating injuries and stopping bleeding. She also had to pick out the medicine for preventing pregnancy bit by bit.
Opening the silver needle, he took out one and sealed several major acupuncture points without hesitation. He picked out the medicine and handed it to Hong'er.
Hong'er quietly hid in the corner and boiled the medicine. It was brought to him half an hour later. Chu Yunning drank it in one gulp while it was hot without any thought of pretentiousness. His bitter brows were twisted into twists.
"The remaining medicine should be taken every two hours."
"good!"
Hong'er hesitated to ask but didn't know how to say it. Chu Yunning explained: "I usually read medical books, but I don't know whether it is feasible or not. Now I can only act like a dead horse."
Hong'er was simple and believed it immediately.
Chu Yunning lay on the couch with her fingertips on her lower abdomen. She was not sure whether she could keep the child.
But she will try her best to keep it.
Five years later
To celebrate Ye Yaner's 20th birthday, Prince Xiao specially held a grand banquet.
Ye Yan'er was dressed in a bright red dress, with hairpins surrounding her temples. She moved her lotus steps slightly and slowly appeared in front of everyone's attention.
Prince Xiao looked at Ye Yan'er tenderly: "Yan'er is so beautiful today."
Ye Yaner's face turned red.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
With a loud shout, everyone saluted.
"My wife/I send my greetings to the Queen Mother. May your Majesty be blessed with peace and happiness."
A lady envied her: "Prince Xiao really doted on Concubine Ye, and even the Queen Mother was alarmed by holding a birthday banquet."
When these words reached Ye Yan'er's ears, Ye Yan'er felt that the matter was not that simple. Instead, she felt a sense of foreboding.
The Queen Mother walked all the way wearing a dark purple phoenix robe, sat at the highest position, raised her hand in the air: "No need to be polite, get up."
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
Everyone stood up.
Prince Xiao was sitting on the lower right side of the Queen Mother, with a respectful attitude: "Why is the Queen Mother here? It's time for the sons and ministers to enter the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother twisted her phoenix eyes and snorted coldly: "The Ai family has not been here for five years. You have been allowed to do whatever you want in these five years. You have almost made up for what you should have compensated. When will you release Yun Ning?"
"Mother, today is Yan'er's birthday party, why are you mentioning the Chu family for no reason?" Prince Xiao looked at Ye Yan'er's frail figure with distress. Yan'er had sacrificed too much for him.
If Yan'er hadn't saved him in the freezing snow, he wouldn't have been injured and the heir would have been in trouble.
"This poisonous woman caused Yan'er to have a miscarriage..."
"Have you witnessed it with your own eyes?" the Queen Mother asked.
King Xiao choked, he really didn't see it with his own eyes.
But Yan'er will never lie, so Chu Yunning must have done it.
"Concubine Ye knew that she couldn't conceive, but she occupied the prince every day. How did Mr. Ye teach his daughter?"
The Queen Mother suddenly became angry, and Censor Ye and Madam Ye stood up tremblingly in the crowd to apologize.
When Ye Yaner saw this, she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, everything is my fault. Please punish me."
"Queen Mother!" Prince Xiao couldn't see Ye Yan'er being wronged and immediately stood up to plead for mercy. However, the Queen Mother became impatient: "After all, she is a concubine. She only thinks about how to retain her favor and does not care about the future of the palace. Xiao Er, it's time to treat the princess as a concubine.
Please come out."
In order to protect Ye Yaner, King Xiao had to compromise and agree to the Queen Mother's request.
