Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
MO Ruyue did not expect Imperial Concubine Li to be so unassuming. Her poison was almost cured. It was precisely because of this poison that her body had become much weaker. She could only allow them to change her dressing.
“Sister, there’s a birthmark on your back. Why do I feel that this birthmark looks so familiar?
A birthmark?
MO Ruyue was confused. She really didn’t know that she had a birthmark on her back.
“Is there?”
“I don’t know yet.”
MO Ruyue did not think much of it.
Imperial Concubine Li was just curious, but it was more important to apply medicine to MO Ruyue’s wound. The two female doctors quickly bandaged MO Ruyue’s wound.
Si Bao and Tang Tang were chatting with Empress Dowager, and there was a smile on their faces.
As MO Ruyue still needed more rest, Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Li did not stay any longer. After the wound was bandaged, they gave a few more instructions and left.
While MO Ruyue was resting, the medical maids and servant girls were guarding outside. There were only the mother and son in the room. MO Ruyue called Si Bao and Tang Tang over.
“Come here. Mother told you that you have to check whether there is poison in whatever you eat or drink, but you have to avoid people.”
MO Ruyue knew that the two of them were capable of not attracting attention.
Tang Tang and Si Bao nodded.
She couldn’t be blamed for being overly sensitive. The fact that she was stabbed meant that the palace maid had specifically gone to assassinate Imperial Concubine Li and the First Prince. It could also be said that she had been specifically targeted.
Because she was the closest to Imperial Concubine Li at that time, if the dagger had turned slightly, it would have been pointed at her.
He really couldn’t stay in the palace!
In the afternoon, Song Jiaxin went to the palace to visit MO Ruyue. She had heard that MO Ruyue had been assassinated in the palace and was extremely worried.
She had wanted to come yesterday, but her family refused to let her come. She had waited until today to enter the palace to meet Empress Dowager, so she took the time to come over.
“Sigh, you’re really unlucky!’
“However, I really have to thank you. You saved my sister and the First Prince.”
It turned out that Imperial Concubine Li was Song Jiaxin’s cousin.
“Are you pregnant?”
MO Ruyue looked at Song Jiaxin’s slightly bulging belly.
Song Jiaxin’s face turned slightly red from her question and she nodded without hiding anything.
“Four months.”
Four months!
MO Ruyue thought about it for a moment. Didn’t that mean that she was pregnant before she got married? This girl was really bold.
“Is your husband treating you well?”
Wasn’t the ancients quite particular about this aspect? She wondered if her in-laws would underestimate her because of this.
“Alright. ”
Song Jiaxin knew that MO Ruyue was worried about her. She raised her head proudly and said, “Would their family dare to treat me badly? Why don’t you take a look at my background?”
“Not to mention that my father is a General, my cousin is the Emperor, my sister is the Imperial Concubine, and my aunt is the Empress Dowager. With such a powerful background, they dare to treat me badly.”
“Hahaha, it’s true. I was worrying too much.”
It seemed that her husband’s family was really good to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to maintain her young lady personality.
This girl was really lucky. She was so lucky that she was jealous.
“Then you can’t be arrogant because of your favor. You have to know that these chips are all used up.”
“Hehe, I know. I’m already married now. It’s not the time to be ignorant.”
“My husband and mother are also well-educated families. My mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter. My husband is the only child, and my mother-in-law is counting on me to give birth to children for their family. They can’t be better to me.”
“I don’t even need to do anything else. I just have to keep giving birth to their children, and they will be able to worship me as their ancestor.”
MO Ruyue smiled.
Song Jiaxin knew that MO Ruyue couldn’t sit there for too long, so she left after chatting for a while. However, she was the one talking and MO Ruyue was listening.
Gu Ying received a letter from the capital and opened it happily. After reading it, his face was gloomy and the letter was directly crushed by him.
The letter was written by Si Bao. MO Ruyue said that she was only slightly injured. If she couldn’t write the letter, her injuries must be serious.
As for the mastermind behind MO Ruyue’s assassination, it was almost certain that it was related to the Empress.
“Men, prepare the horses!”
Gu Ying told his family that he did not tell them about MO Ruyue’s injury, lest they worry. He only said that he had to go to the capital for some matters, and that he could bring MO Ruyue and the others back.
He didn’t even bring his luggage and rode alone to the capital.
“Big Brother is really something. Sister-in-law can’t even leave for more than two days, and he can’t sit still.”
“He did not know when they would get married.”
“I think it’ll be soon.”
Wang Tiezhu helped his wife home.
Gu Ying was on his way to the capital city. The palace maids and eunuchs were shuffling.
The Empress in the Cold Palace saw that the palace maid who sent her lunch today had changed, and the anger in her heart rose a lot.
However, it didn’t matter. Ji Hong wouldn’t be able to be smug for long. When the time came, she would definitely take revenge for the humiliation she suffered today a hundred times over.
Empress Liu secretly calmed her emotions. When she saw that there was only a bowl of plain porridge and two salted radishes for lunch today, she knocked over the tray in the palace maid’s hand and spilled the bowl of porridge on the ground.
The palace maid’s face was expressionless. She picked up the bowl on the ground and placed it on the tray. She silently retreated and locked the door.
Lunch was delivered, and she could not blame anyone else for not eating.
Empress Liu looked at the palace maid’s smooth movements in astonishment.
She hadn’t even lost her temper yet, and she dared to go out and lock the door? “Presumptuous! How impudent!”
“I’ll definitely make you regret it!”
However, no matter how much she banged on the door and howled, no one paid any attention to her.
At dinner time, it was still the palace maid who sent Empress Liu a bowl of porridge and two salted radish strips.
This time, Empress Liu didn’t knock over her plate. She had been starving for a whole day. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. Even if she lay down and didn’t do anything, she still needed to consume her energy.
Empress Liu endured the humiliation and drank the clear soup with little water. She did not touch the two radish strips.
Even a blind person could see the ruthlessness in her eyes, but the palace maid was unmoved. After she finished eating, she nimbly took the bowl away and went out to lock the door.
Empress Liu, who had slept until midnight, suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her stomach. However, her cries were useless.
“Ji Hong. You will die a horrible death! I was really blind…”
Empress Liu struggled to endure until the fifth watch. Her stomach finally stopped hurting and she seemed to be fine. When it was mealtime, it was the palace maid who brought her food again. Empress Liu remembered that her stomach hurt so much last night that she wanted to die. She insisted on asking the imperial physician to see her.
After the imperial doctor came over to check her pulse and diagnosed that there was nothing wrong, he left.
Empress Liu didn’t believe it, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she didn’t eat for the whole day and only drank some water. However, at night, she had an unbearable abdominal pain.
In just two nights and a day, Empress Liu had lost a lot of weight. She didn’t even have the strength to curse.
“I want to see the Emperor. I want to see the Emperor.”
The serving girl who delivered the food ignored her and never spoke to her. Seeing that the serving girl was about to leave again, Empress Liu used the last bit of strength in her body to knock her over, knocking the tray in her hand to the ground. She picked up a broken bowl on the ground and pressed it against her neck.
“I want to see the Emperor, or I will die here.”
The palace maid did not even look at her as she retreated. She still locked the door and left, and the porcelain piece in Empress Liu’s hand did not pierce down in the end.
“Ah!”
She was going crazy..
