Chapter 783: So Many Actors
Tingxuan couldn’t resist giving Xiao Yuge a seductive glance. After receiving her menacing stare, he was in high spirits and turned away with a smile.>"Ge'er, you and the little imperial uncle, what...Won't hurt her
Whoa! Xiao Yu Ge suddenly wanted to laugh. In her previous life, he had humiliated her just as much as Qian Si Chen and Chu Tian Qi. How could it be that in this life, with a different, more affectionate face, his lips parting and coming together, could erase the hatred in her heart
"Brother Feng, I know the Emperor deserves to die, but he can't die now. Chi Yan Nation is about to attack Lan Zhao, and if the Emperor dies at this time, the entire court will be in turmoil. If there is an internal rebellion, Chi Yan Nation will take advantage of the situation, and Lan Zhao will be destroyed, along with its people!"
Ning Feng fell silent. He wasn't unaware that his father's rebellion was a fact, and the outcome was also what he deserved. What he couldn't bear was that his once close brother, who had shared his life, had actually led people to drive him and his sister to their deaths.
"Wind brother, I don't have the qualifications to advise you to let go of your hatred, but I don't want you to end up like Ning Hua. I hope you can live well..." Death is liberation for a person, only living is the most painful.
“Song’er...” Ning Feng's eyes, hidden behind his mask, were fixed on Song’er before him. His lips moved, but he didn't have the courage to speak the words in his heart. He really wanted to say: If she was willing to travel the world with him, he would give up his hatred for her sake!
He understood from her eyes that she no longer had him in her heart. Even if he confessed, she wouldn't agree. So, it was better to keep those beautiful memories of the past.
"Brother Feng, what are your plans for the future Will you still seek revenge" Xiao Yuge knew that he had killed Qian Si Chen with his own sword and was saved by her. Similarly, Ning Hua had killed the Emperor, only to be saved by her as well. If not for the affection he held for her, she estimated he would have hated her to death.
"I don't know..." Ning Feng didn't know what path to take in the future. After thinking for a moment, he still said, "The Master of Qijian Pavilion saved both me and my sister. In the future, I plan to stay at Qijian Pavilion."
"Well, since you're staying here, I can rest assured." Knowing he wouldn't leave Qijian Pavilion, Xiao Yuge felt relieved.
Just after being reborn, her whole mind was set on sending them to hell. Perhaps because of Qian Tingxuan's gradual influence, he slowly squeezed out the hatred in her heart bit by bit. Compared to before, she didn't seem to want them dead so much.
The next day.
Xiao Yuge woke up early, feigning illness to avoid the bustling household. She planned to stay in the courtyard and practice her martial arts diligently. Things had been so chaotic lately that she’d let her training lapse.
"Miss, Little Wan, the servant girl of Miss Minrou of the County, is asking to see you!" Not long after, Qingluo hurried over to report: "The servant said that you were not at home, but she refused to leave. She kept crying and kneeling there."
"What is she here for" Xiao Yuge frowned secretly, after thinking for a moment, she still said, "Bring her in." What kind of trick are these Fang Minrou and her servants up to again
"Miss..." Qing Luo thought about how Fang Min Rou and her maidservant had wronged the young lady before, naturally feeling displeased.
"Alright, let her come in and speak first."
Qing Luo opened the door and saw Xiao Wan still kneeling there. Perhaps seeing the door open, she crawled over on her knees: "Qing Luo girl, please let me see the county princess, I beg you!"
Qing Luo glanced at her, said in a good-natured but firm tone: "Come in with me." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and walked inside, muttering to herself: If it weren't for the young lady's kindness and generosity, I wouldn't even bother seeing someone like you!
Xiao Wan lowered her head in shame, but dared not linger, following closely behind Qing Luo.
As soon as Xiao Yu Ge appeared, Xiaowan immediately knelt before her, kowtowing and crying: "County Princess, please save my County Princess! I beg you!"
Xiao Yu Ge saw her like this, her brows unconsciously furrowed, and she waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, first wipe away your tears and speak properly, what on earth happened" She wasn't the kind to repay grievances with kindness. Fang Min Rou and her servant had harmed her several times, she was not magnanimous enough to be tolerant of them.
"Yes!" Xia Wan hurriedly stood up.
It turned out that after Fang Minrou returned yesterday, she showed signs of a miscarriage. The child born was stillborn, but for some reason, the placenta refused to come out. Even the most experienced midwives in the capital were helpless. As of today, after a day had passed, Fang Minrou was on the verge of death, and the placenta remained unyielding. Xiaowan had almost searched the entire city for the best doctors, but despite trying many methods, none of them worked. The midwife said that if it didn't come out today, Fang Minrou would not survive.
"My Lady, I know that I have done many wrongs against you in the past. I beg of you to show mercy and save my young mistress! She is truly pitiful..."
As Fang Minrou's close maid, she knew all too well what kind of life her mistress had lived over the years. Even during the fiery period, with the old emperor's favor, those women in the harem were not easy to deal with. Every day was filled with schemes and plots. If her mistress were as innocent as a white lotus flower, she would have died in the Red Flame Palace long ago.
“Although I understand medicine, I have no idea about childbirth. I think you’ve got the wrong person.” Xiao Yuge coldly raised her eyes. She didn't want to help, first because she truly had no experience with women giving birth, and second because she couldn't let go of Fang Minrou's actions towards her.
"My Lady..." Xiao Wan saw that Xiao Yu Ge didn't respond, and knelt there kowtowing again. Please let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Stop hitting, I'm still alive! Are you trying to beat me to death" Xiao Yuge glared at her, while inside his head, he was frantically debating whether to save her or not.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice reporting from outside suddenly rang out.
"The Empress Dowager" Xiao Yuge's brows furrowed even tighter, she glanced at Xiaowan briefly, as if understanding something, pursed her lips, then turned and walked out to greet the arriving carriage.
"I, your humble servant, bow to the Empress Dowager and wish her good fortune and longevity!" Though I find these formalities tiresome, I must comply while I'm in this position.
"Ge'er, wake up." Although supported by Qinyin MaMa, the Empress Dowager looked quite spirited.
"Ge'er, this old queen has heard... you are alright" The Empress Dowager gazed at her belly, a hint of doubt in her heart: This complexion, white with a rosy hue, and spirit so full, doesn't look like someone who just gave birth prematurely.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. Your servant is fine..." What's good If not for the fact that she was faking a pregnancy, how could she be this well just two days after a miscarriage
“Song'er, regarding yesterday's matter, this palace has also heard some rumors. It is true that the anodyne was bestowed by this palace, but I swear on the ancestral graves of a thousand families, this palace did not harm your child. He is my great-grandson after all. Even if this palace were to be as cruel and ruthless as they say, I would never do something so inhumane!”Xiao Yuge It's better to meet than to hear! You were born with a fox-like face. At such a young age, you have learned the art of seducing men. It's really impressive.""Would County Lord Hua like to le...
