It was getting dark. Ning Country was located in the princess's mansion in the Imperial City.
It was raining heavily. A woman was kneeling in front of the highest pavilion in the princess' mansion.
The woman was extremely beautiful, but her eyes were dull and her face was pale. She held a little baby tightly in her arms. The baby's little face was black and blue, and he was dying. It seemed that he was about to die.
"Princess Yue Xi, go back. The Emperor's son-in-law won't see you." The one guarding the entrance of the pavilion was the palace maid that Yue Xi trusted the most since she was a child, called Lian Xin.
The rain fell on Yue Xi's body. She gritted her teeth and tightened her cloak, so as not to let the child in her arms get caught in the rain... When did it start? Yue Xi was in a trance as she thought that the people she trusted the most had betrayed her one by one.
Perhaps her tears had long dried up. Even though her heart was aching to the extreme, she couldn't cry.
Yue Xi kowtowed three times to Lian Xin. "Lian Xin, we've been master and servant for more than ten years, and I've always treated you well. Now, I only beg you, let me see the emperor's son-in-law, beg him, find a doctor to treat my child. My child is also his..." Her voice was a little hoarse, with deep tiredness.
"Your Highness, it's useless for you to make things difficult for me. The Emperor's son-in-law has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him..." Standing under the eaves and looking at the woman in the rain, within the corner of her mouth, there was a cold smile. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. The princess is just so-so."
Yue Xi gripped the child's ice-cold little hand and felt extreme hatred in her heart. She suddenly stood up and dashed towards the center of the lotus. Suddenly, the center of the lotus fell to the ground with a "ah". Yue Xi hurriedly opened the door of the attic and rushed up.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not allowed to go up..." Yixin frowned and touched the place where she fell in pain. "Humph, so what if you go up? Do you think the prince consort and Princess Huajing will really find a doctor for your child?"
Yue Xi ran to the top of the attic. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard the voice of Huajing. "Well... ah... don't touch it, ah... still..."
Yue Xi only felt everything before her eyes go dark and her hands go soft. She almost couldn't hold the child in her arms and quickly leaned against the wooden railing to stabilize her feet.
After a long while, she gritted her teeth, walked to the door, and pushed it open with her elbow.
"Who is it..." A man's panting voice rang out. Yue Xi's heart turned extremely cold when she saw the two men on the bed looking at her.
"Get lost!" When Mo Jingran saw that it was Yue Xi, she frowned and angrily berated.
Yue Xi opened her mouth and found her voice after a long while. "Huan'er is ill. Please find a doctor for him."
Mo Jingran snorted. Just as she was about to curse again, she was pulled back by the woman beneath her. She turned around and saw that the woman beneath her was smiling with malice. "Jingran, since my sister wants to see it, then let my sister take good care of it. Get someone to tie her up on the chair and see how much we love each other."
Hearing this, Mo Jingran's mouth curved into a cold smile. She got out of bed and found a rope. "Put Huan'er on the table. When you finish reading it, I'll ask a doctor to treat Huan'er."
Yue Xi hesitated for a long time, but she knew that there was no other way. In this princess's mansion, she could not even find a person who was willing to speak for her. So she had to put the child in her arms on the table, gritted her teeth and sat on a chair on the side. Mo Jing tied her hand up.
Mo Jingran returned to the side of the bed. The woman on the bed stretched out her feet and hooked around Mo Jingran's waist. Her toes rubbed gently on Mo Jingran's back. A fire rose in Mo Jingran's eyes. Her body suddenly moved, and the woman under her let out a cry. "Ah..."
After the woman calmed down for a while, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yue Xi with a little charm. "Sister, look, my sister will teach you how to serve a good man."
Mo Jingran burst into laughter and started to move.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with gasps.
Yue Xi only felt as if someone was cutting her wound with a knife in her heart. She could hear the sound of her wound cracking in a trance.
This was the Emperor's son-in-law he had chosen himself, and this was the elder sister he had always respected.
After about half an hour, Yue Xi saw that the child on the table looked paler and paler, and his eyes seemed to be a little unfocused. Yue Xi was anxious, and a line of tears flowed down her eyes. "Emperor's son-in-law, royal sister, I beg you, please save my child. He is about to die, please..."
"The noise isn't annoying at all." Mo Jing suddenly turned her head and roared at Yue Xi. She stood up again and walked up to Yue Xi. She lowered her head and looked at the child on the table. "You can't do it anymore, can you? Why are you still using it?"
As he spoke, he picked up the child, opened the window, and threw him out.
"No..." Yue Xi was greatly shocked. She was shaken until she stood up, but she forgot that her hands were bound behind her. As soon as she took two steps, she fell onto the ground.
"My child... My child... My child!" She could not care less about the pain as she cried out in a heart-wrenching voice.
Someone was approaching step by step. Yue Xi raised her head. It was Royal Sister. She was holding a sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was coldly pointing at her face. "Oh, I don't know what happened today. I always see Royal Sister's beautiful face is too pink and tender. I really want to cut it a few times to see what it will be like."
Yue Xi's heart was already in a mess. When she saw the ridicule and ridicule in Hua Jing's eyes, she almost cried without hesitation, "As long as you let me go, I will do whatever I can to deal with Yue Xi's face!" Her voice was almost hoarse.
Hua Jing narrowed her eyes and raised the sword in her hand, allowing the tip of the sword to cut across Yue Xi's face. Yue Xi only felt a burning pain on her face and the surging hatred in her heart was about to drown her. However, when she thought of her own child, Yue Xi hurriedly clenched her teeth and did not make a single sound.
Hua Jing felt a little bored. "You don't even know how to cry. It's really boring." As she spoke, she cut off the rope tied to Yue Xi and returned to bed.
Yue Xi hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the door. She slipped and fell from the stairs of the attic. However, regardless of the pain on her body, she quickly stood up and ran out of the door.
Her child lay quietly on the ground and did not cry. There was only blood flowing out of his head, which was washed away by the rain and spread out. Yue Xi quickly picked up the child and murmured, "It's okay, it's okay. My Huan'er is fine. I'll take you to find the imperial physician and the imperial physician. I'll take you there. My Huan'er will be fine..." Then, she held the child in her arms and rushed out of the yard.
"Could it be that she really went to find the imperial physician?" Mo Jingran stood by the window as she watched Yue Xi gradually walk away. Only then did she speak in a somewhat worried manner.
There was a gentle and soft body behind her. She leaned over and said, "Jingran, don't be afraid. You have been guarding the Princess's Manor for a long time, haven't you? She can't go out. Even if she goes out and enters the palace, Father is not in the palace now. She can only go to find Mother. However, Mother is my mother, not hers..."
Mo Jingran turned around, picked up the woman behind her, and walked to the bed.
"Ah..." Hua Jing let out a seductive cry. "Jingran, you're so bad..."
"Your Majesty, Princess Yue Xi has come in. Look, her body is covered in blood..." The palace maid hurriedly ran into the inner hall and said to the noble woman who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror picking out a hairpin.
The Empress frowned. "Didn't Jing'er say that Yue Xi was locked up in the Princess's Manor? Why did she come to me?"
Just as she was speaking, she heard Yue Xi's sobbing voice. "Mother, mother, save Huan'er, save Huan'er."
The Empress turned her head and saw a drenched woman running in. There was a terrible scar on her face, so scary that even her bones could be seen. She loosened her cloak. The child in her cloak was no longer breathing and was bleeding all the way.
The Empress looked at Yue Xi with disgust and said, "Why should we save him? He's obviously not saved."
"It won't happen. Mother, Huan'er is fine. Mother, please save Huan'er. Mother, please send the imperial physician to save Huan'er." Yue Xi quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress.
The Empress looked up and winked at the palace maid standing at the door. "Zhixin, go and get an imperial physician. By the way, get someone to bring a cup of wine to Princess Yuexi and warm her body."
The palace maid hurried out and soon brought up a cup of wine. The Empress smiled and said, "Xi'er, take a seat first. I have already asked someone to invite the imperial physician. Have a cup of wine to warm your body. Don't wait for Huan'er to recover, but you fall down. You have to take care of Huan'er."
Yue Xi nodded, sat down, and murmured, "Yes, I can't fall down. If I fall down, no one will take care of Huan'er, no one will..." As she said this, she reached out with her bloody hand to take the wine glass, raised her head, and drank it.
The Empress smiled and said, "This is what a good girl should do. I hate it when someone dirtys my Qiwu Palace. How dare you bring a dead child here? You are so unlucky..."
Yue Xi was stunned. She did not understand why the Empress had suddenly changed her tone. However, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. It hurt so much that she could not stand up straight.
"Your Highness, it seems that the medicine has taken effect?" A gentle voice came from the side. Yue Xi remembered that it was the voice of the lotus core beside her mother.
"Mother..." Yue Xi frowned. "Mother..."
"I'm not your mother. Your mother died a long time ago." The Empress' voice was as cold as ice. "I didn't want to kill you. It's painful to live, but unfortunately, you dirty my Qiwu Palace."
Hearing the Queen's words, Yue Xi felt a burst of pain in her stomach, but she couldn't help laughing. "I am really the most stupid woman in the world. I believe in you, Huajing, and Mo Jingran, but I didn't expect that the person I trusted would treat me like this. You are so cruel... Hahaha, I, Ning Yuexi, will not let you go even if I die... I won't."
However, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely find you. Revenge, revenge..." Before she could finish her words, the hand holding the child had already loosened.
The palace maid beside the Empress bent down and placed her hand on the tip of Yue Xi's nose to try. Then, she hurriedly said, "The Empress is dead..."
The Empress smiled and turned around. She picked up a phoenix hairpin and tried it on her head. Then, she said quietly, "He's dead. Let's drag him into the dense forest in the western suburbs and feed him to the dogs..."
