Chapter 8: An Unknown Pregnancy
Xiao'er stood on the edge of the bed, anxiously watching the imperial doctor stop the bleeding for Xinchun. More than a dozen maids stood aside, each holding a basin of hot water in their hands, looking at the basin of clear water, it instantly became blood red, and Xiao'er's face was already covered with tears.
"Girl, girl, don't have anything to do, it's Xiao'er's fault, it's Xiao'er who dragged the girl down. The girl shouldn't have come back here......"
I vaguely heard someone shouting my name, and my body with a pure pain slowly became clear in this shout.
"Xiao ...... Xiao'er ......"
"Girl, girl, you're finally awake, you're scared to death......"
stepped forward and held Xinchun's pale and weak hand tightly, and Xiao'er finally had a smile on her face.
"Imperial Doctor, how is the girl?" Xiao'er asked the imperial doctor who was already sweating profusely beside her.
Breathing a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat drops from his forehead, the imperial doctor said,
"The bleeding has finally stopped, and now that I'm awake, it's fine. But the girl's body is really weakened, and she has to cultivate well. β
"Thank you, thank you, Master Imperial Doctor, Xiao'er is here to kowtow to you!"
As she spoke, Xiao'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the imperial doctor.
"Girl, don't be like this, you are the imperial doctor in the next place, saving people's lives, where the vocation is, the girl doesn't have to be like this!"
Helping Xiao'er up, the imperial doctor explained a few more words and left.
"Girl, it's great that you're alright! Girl, Xiao'er will decoct the medicine for you, you have a good rest first! β
Xiao'er left the room. Xinchun lay quietly on the bed, she felt so tired. Gently closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
"What do you say? You say it again to Prince Ben! β
Xiao'er wanted to decoct medicine for Xinchun, but halfway through, she remembered that Xinchun had woken up and hadn't reported it to the prince, so she turned back and went to the prince's study. But as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he heard the angry voice of the prince coming from inside.
"Your Royal Highness, the old man also thought that he had diagnosed the wrong pulse, but the old man carefully re-diagnosed the girl's pulse several times, judging from the pulse, in addition to the girl's weak body due to excessive blood loss, the main reason for the sudden fainting of the guide zhì was that she was pregnant. (Read the novel)"
Xing Jianbing suddenly sat down on the wooden chair, and his face was extremely pale.
"How long has it been? How long have you been? Xing Jianbing's anger immediately frightened the imperial doctor. The Imperial Physician replied tremblingly,
"It's, it's been more than two months!"
"More than two months? Hmph, hehehe, it seems that this prince still underestimates that evil king! Xing Jianbing's sharp eyes revealed a tyrannical look, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he clucked as he clenched the handle of the wooden chair.
"Bai Xixie, since you can let her have it, then the prince also has the ability to let her lose! Physician! β
"The minister is here!" The Imperial Physician knelt there in horror.
"No one is allowed to know about this, not even the pure heart. If you leak a little bit of news, not only will your life be lost, but your whole family, young and old, will accompany you to see Hades! β
"The minister understands, the minister obeys!" The imperial doctor leaned over to the ground, and Prince Xing Jianbing's words made him tremble.
"Also, Prince Ben wants you to do something."
"What's the matter, please ask Your Highness to command!"
Xing Jianbing played with the folding fan in his hand and said unhurriedly.
"You are the Imperial Doctor, and I know that you can use many ways to make a pregnant woman lose what is in her womb without realizing it. Moreover, I didn't realize that I was ever pregnant! You should understand what this prince means. Isn't it? β
The imperial doctor looked at Xing Jianbing in front of him in fear, although he wanted to refuse, but it was not like gambling with his own life and that of his family. I could only nod silently.
Xiao'er outside the door stood there, covering her mouth tightly with her hands, for fear that she couldn't help but shout, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Alright, you get out!"
"Yes!"
The Imperial Physician withdrew. Xiao'er hurriedly hid in the corner, so that the imperial doctor and the prince did not find out.
"What should I do? What should I do? β
Xiao'er was so distraught at the moment that she didn't know what to do next.
"The girl is kind to Xiao'er, and Xiao'er can't be ungrateful. Yes, yes, I will go and sue Miss SΓΉ, if she finally knows that her unborn child has died in the womb without realizing it, she will be heartbroken. β
Thinking of this, Xiao'er hurriedly ran to Xinchun's room. But no one expected that as soon as he walked out of the corner, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Xiao'er's way.
Looking at the person in front of him, Xiao'er was extremely frightened, and suddenly lost control under her feet, retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the corner of the wall with no way out.
"You heard it all, didn't you?"
Xing Jianbing's bewitching face was extremely cold at the moment.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao'er begs you, I beg you not to kill the child in the belly of the pure girl." Xiao'er knelt on the ground violently and pleaded with Xing Jianbing.
"So you really heard it!"
Xing Jianbing's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, if you do that, after the pure heart girl knows, she will definitely be very good to you. Does Your Highness really want the girl to hate you for the rest of your life? β
Xiao'er's words made Xing Jianbing's heart suddenly pause, and a chill came out of his heart.
"She's going to hate me for the rest of her life?" Xing Jianbing's heart suddenly appeared with an unprecedented dazedness. But for a moment, the cold gaze appeared in his eyes again.
"Hate? Hmph, do you think Prince Ben cares about this? Even if Prince Ben doesn't kill the son in her womb, she still hates Prince Ben, and she won't be grateful to me at all. Besides, this prince doesn't need any of this at all. Do you know why? β
Xing Jianbing's face showed an evil smile, and he squatted down and said word by word to Xiao'er, whose face was full of tears,
"She, hollow pure, is just a pawn in the hands of Prince Ben to manipulate Bai Xixie. Now she still has the value of use here with the crown prince, so the prince has left her life until now. If one day, her use value is gone, then there is only one end - death! β
Xiao'er was really scared at the moment, but she couldn't give up, she knew that it was because she had stumped Xinchun's footsteps, if it weren't for herself, Xinchun would have left here with her beloved and returned to Yuming to live a happy life. Xiao'er was born in a poor family since she was a child, and was sold into a rich family as a maid in order to make a living, and was selected to enter the palace by chance and became the palace maid of the prince's mansion. Since I was a child, in addition to the love of my father and mother, I have suffered all the beatings and bullying of others, not to mention that someone stands by his side and speaks for himself. But Xinchun saved her own happiness and life from a lowly maid who had nothing to do with her, and even didn't see herself. From that moment on, Xiao'er had secretly sworn in her heart that her life was given by Xinchun, and from now on, no matter what Xinchun let herself do, Xiao'er would never say anything.
And now, Xiao'er thought, even if she took her own life, she would save the child in Xinchun's belly. A thought suddenly flashed in her mind, Xiao'er gritted her teeth and said,
"Your Highness, if you really only regard the girl with a pure heart as a chess piece, why do you still care about the child in the girl's belly? The girl is pregnant, isn't this exactly what His Highness wants? Since the child is the evil king's, in this case, doesn't His Highness have another chess piece in his hand to contain the evil king? Why strangled her? Moreover, has His Highness thought about it? The girl now has the idea of suicide, the child may be able to give her hope of continuing to live, if you kill the child at this time, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the girl will know about it sooner or later. If she knew that her child was dead, would you think she would still have the idea of living? The love between mother and son is better than the sky, and no matter how many people's lives His Highness threatens her again, she will not hesitate again. As soon as the girl died, His Royal Highness not only lost the chess piece to contain the evil king, but was more likely to provoke the evil king, and the final consequence, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think about what it would become? β
Xiao'er mustered up her last courage and used her last bit of strength to finish these words. She quietly watched the change in Xing Jianbing's face, she thought that her words could move the prince, but she didn't want to, but Xing Jianbing raised her hand and slapped her hard,
"You, you don't need you to teach this prince to do things, come here!"
"Your Highness!" Two guards appeared behind Xing Jianbing.
Xing Jianbing pointed to Xiao'er, who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered,
"Lock up this maid for Prince Ben, no one is allowed to let her out without Prince Ben's order, give Prince Ben a good look!"
"Yes!"
Two guards stepped forward to pick up Xiao'er and leave.
"Your Highness, Xiao'er begs you, please let that child go! Please......"
Xiao'er has been dragged away. But there was a trace of hesitation in Xing Jianbing's heart,
"To kill, or not to kill?"
