Chapter 395 A glimmer of hope

Concubine Li didn't expect Jiang Liuli to be so flexible.

It felt like I punched with all my strength, but it hit a soft cotton pillow. It was so boring!

"Yes, even if there are some similarities, so what? I am the legitimate daughter, and you are the illegitimate daughter! My father is the Imperial Doctor. Oh, by the way, I forgot that the Jiang family no longer exists in the capital!"

What I mean is, what gives you the right to argue with me and fight with me?

"Empress Li is right!"

Instead of causing Jiang Liuli to become furious, Concubine Li's sarcasm gained her approval.

Jiang Liuli was not angry, but Concubine Li herself was very angry.

"Your belly is five months old, right?"

Concubine Li shifted her attention to Jiang Liuli's belly. There were rumors in the palace that the child was of unknown origin, and the Crown Prince was furious, so he sent her to the cold palace.

Seeing that Concubine Li's slender fingertips were about to touch her pregnant belly, Liuli cautiously shrank back.

Her children are her bottom line, and no mistakes are allowed!
"Do not touch me!"

Concubine Li was frightened by Liuli's sudden momentum. It turns out that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

"Oh, he's just a bastard. You're the only one who treats him as a treasure!"

Concubine Li sneered. All the concubines in the harem were honored because of their children. Once they were pregnant, they would receive constant rewards and their status would be promoted. However, only Jiang Liuli was sent to this barren cold palace even though she was pregnant.

What kind of waves can an unclean woman stir up?
Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt much more relieved.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally ordered that no one can approach the cold palace without his permission. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that Concubine Li came here specially to visit me this morning?"

Sure enough, Concubine Li's face changed.

She came here on her own initiative early in the morning, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about it?

Jiang Liuli was clearly threatening her.

But unfortunately, I was really scared!

I'm sure if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, he would definitely not be happy.

It is not worth it to displease His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for an abandoned concubine like Jiang Liuli!

"Let's go back to the palace!"

Watching Concubine Li leaving angrily, Qiaohui quickly helped Liuli, who was kneeling on the ground.

"If she's similar, she's similar to you! Doesn't she know the principle of first come first served?"

Qiaohui brushed the dust off Liuli's body while standing up for her.

"Tell me, why did His Highness marry so many noble ladies, but chose to marry a concubine named Li who looks so similar to you? What is his intention?"

Qiaohui thought she was quite smart, but she still couldn't guess what the Crown Prince was thinking.

"Who knows?"

Liuli was too lazy to think about it or guess. Perhaps only Beichen Qi himself knew the real answer.

"Liuli, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Liuli's face looked strange, Qiaohui also became nervous.

"My stomach hurts a little!"

Liuli held her stomach carefully, her face pale.

"Help me get inside!"

"Okay, okay! Slow down!"

Qiaohui was in a panic. If Liuli wasn't pregnant at the moment, she would have wanted to carry Liuli on her back immediately.

"Drink some hot water! Are you hungry?"

After helping Liuli lie down, Qiaohui was busy serving tea and water.

But looking at Liuli, who was sweating profusely, there was still no sign of improvement.

"Maybe she has a miscarriage!" Jiang Liuli, sweating profusely, shook her head. As a doctor, she naturally knew that if she was just hungry, there would not be such a drastic reaction.

"What should I do? Liuli, don't scare me!"

Qiaohui is just a little girl after all, and it is inevitable that she would panic when faced with such a life-threatening situation!

On weekdays, no matter what happens, she always listens to Liuli, Liuli is her backbone.

Now that Liuli is in trouble, there are only two of them in the cold palace. What can she do?
"It'll be okay!"

Liuli gently patted Qiaohui's hand, signaling her not to worry.

But seeing Liuli sweating profusely from the pain, how could Qiaohui not be worried?

"Liuli! Liuli!"

Liuli, who said she was fine the moment before, closed her eyes and fell asleep the next moment!
Seeing this, Qiaohui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If things went wrong, there would really be two deaths.

"Help! Someone! Help!"

Qiaohui rushed out of the yard and knocked hard on the closed door.

But no matter how she clapped or called for help, no one outside the door responded.

She just didn't understand why it was so easy for people outside to come in?
"Help! Is anyone there?"

Just when Qiaohui had called for help countless times and her voice was almost hoarse, the eunuch's impatient voice came from outside the door.

"Why are you yelling in broad daylight? Even if you scream to the top of the sky, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't hear you!"

"Eunuch! Eunuch! Please be kind, my master has a stomachache and has fainted! Please, please get a doctor to take a look!"

Because of the long delay, Qiaohui's voice was filled with tears.

"Calling a doctor? What a joke! I've been in the palace for so many years, and I've never heard of a concubine in the cold palace asking for a doctor!"

For others, a good death is worse than a rotten life, but for the concubines in the cold palace, living is worse than death.

After all, the days in the cold palace can be seen to end at a glance, and there is no hope at all.

"Father-in-law, please be kind! This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

Qiaohui took off the silver hairpin on her head and handed it out through the crack in the door.

After taking the hairpin, the father-in-law's attitude seemed to be better.

"Miss, it's not that I won't help you, but the Crown Prince has ordered that no one can enter or leave the cold palace without his permission. Don't you know this?"

"But the Crown Princess and Consort Li are coming in, aren't they?"

Rules are dead, people are alive.

As long as he turns a blind eye, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?

"How can it be the same? The Crown Princess and Concubine Li are the masters! We have to give them face! But who among the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital has the guts to do that? If you offend the Crown Prince for a concubine abandoned in the cold palace, you might lose your head!"

My father-in-law tells the truth.

"Then please report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

At this point, Qiaohui really had no choice.

She bet that the Crown Prince still had some affection for Liuli, otherwise, how could they have survived to this day in the cold palace?

"Eunuch, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future! After all, my mistress was once the wife of His Highness, and His Highness the Crown Prince is a man who cherishes the past! If my mistress passes away without knowing why, and His Highness the Crown Prince blames her, Eunuch, can you bear the consequences?"

Qiaohui's words reminded her father-in-law.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If His Highness really punishes him, wouldn't he be wronged?

"Okay, considering your loyalty to the master, I will make this trip for you! As for whether His Highness is willing to see me and whether he agrees to invite a doctor, I cannot guarantee it!"

"Thank you, father-in-law! Thank you, father-in-law!"

Qiaohui thanked him repeatedly. Although it was not certain, it was still a glimmer of hope!
