The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 137 Death with a Rod
Meng Tingzhou slowly turned around and looked at her, silent.

Jiang Shiwan removed the restraints blocking his way and knelt in front of him: "This child came too suddenly, I was not prepared... I didn't want to keep this child at first, so I asked Yunchang to prepare medicine."

"But I finally decided to keep the baby and didn't use the medicine."

Yun Shang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, those medicine slaves just found a place to hide them and didn't take them out."

Listening to the explanations of the master and servant, Meng Tingzhou looked at Jiang Shiwan calmly: "Are you saying that you were going to use these red flowers to get rid of the baby in your belly? But in the end you didn't use them?"

"In that case, who put safflower in the medicine you drank? Or is there a third person who knows the whereabouts of this medicine?"

His tone was very calm, but the more so, the worse it seemed.

The pain of miscarriage and the helplessness of being unable to defend herself, Jiang Shiwan could only shake her head gently: "No third person knows the whereabouts of this medicine."

The night was getting darker and the dew was heavier. After kneeling on the ground for a long time, I felt cold all over.

Meng Tingzhou looked at the woman kneeling in front of him and said word by word: "Come here, drag Yun Shang away and beat her to death!"

"Captain!"

"Erlang!"

This time, he did not hesitate at all: "The ground is cold, take the lady into the house. No one is allowed to come in or out without the governor's order."

Yun Shang cried out in fear: "Madam..."

Two maids came up to support Jiang Shiwan, but she still couldn't help reaching out to grab the corner of Meng Tingzhou's clothes, but she grabbed nothing.

She choked up and said, "This is all my idea. It has nothing to do with Yunshang."

"It's inevitable that the master will make mistakes, but she, as a servant, can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. If everyone is like her, what rules will there be in the Governor's Mansion?"

After hearing this, Jiang Shiwan knew that he was powerless to change the situation.

He collapsed completely. "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

"I have really decided to keep this child."

Make plans to stay in the north, away from the disputes in the capital.

Meng Tingzhou felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Today is the day of our wedding, and I didn't expect something like this to happen."

She held back her tears and said, "You don't believe me?"

"The child is gone. It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not."

Meng Tingzhou stopped looking at her and fell into the darkness alone.

Watching his departing figure, Jiang Shiwan felt as if she had lost something important. She couldn't help crying out, "Erlang."

Hearing the call, the figure in the darkness seemed to pause for a moment, but it was only a brief moment and soon disappeared.

Meng Tingzhou walked very fast, and the cold wind blew in his ears, cutting his ears painfully.

It turns out that the most disappointing moment is not anger or indifference, but not wanting to face it again.

Yun Shang's hysterical voice echoed throughout the Governor's Mansion, followed by Jiang Shiwan's wailing.

People in each room had different thoughts about these movements.

Lu Jin wanted to go find Jiang Shiwan, but was stopped by Lu Zheng: "She just had a miscarriage and is still very weak. Besides, the matter of Honghua is still unclear, so it's better to let her calm down now."

Lu Jin was heartbroken: "How could something like this happen so suddenly? This is her and the governor's wedding day!"

When Meng Shuyi heard Jiang Shiwan's crying, he knew that the situation was developing in the direction he wanted. Satisfiedly, he ordered people to blow out the lights and lie down to sleep.

Yan Jinxi saw that Abielie was concentrating on listening to Jiang Shiwan's movements and sneered, "I didn't expect that the king would be so concerned about someone else's wife."

Having his thoughts seen through, Abiel was rarely not angry, but he felt a little distressed when he thought about the beauty being too sad. "Why? Are you distressed?"

Abiel frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me when you can let me succeed."

Seeing that he was really getting impatient, Yan Jinxi patted his shoulder and coaxed him, "You like someone else's wife. If you want to win her, don't you have to think of a way to reduce your mistakes?"

"What ideas do you have? Tell me about them."

Yan Jinxi whispered randomly in his ear.

After hearing this, Abelie frowned at first, then nodded: "You people of Dayan are really thoughtful, and you have gone through so much trouble to think of a roundabout way. In our Turkic world, as long as men like something, there is nothing that cannot be resolved without a fight."

Yan Jinxi simply didn't want to spend time explaining too much to such a barbarian.

She patiently explained: "I did this to maintain friendly relations between the Turks and the Governor's Office."

Abiel suddenly smiled, grabbed her shoulders, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't you want the Turks and Dayan to maintain their relationship?"

Thinking of her royal brother who insisted on sending her to marry, Yan Jinxi would be lying if she said she didn't hate him.

But she also knew how much her brother loved her.

Yan Jinxi's fingers gently stroked Abielie's lips: "I would like to maintain a relationship with the king, I wonder if the king would do me the favor?"

Abielie laughed loudly, picked up Yan Jinxi and walked towards the bed.

Due to excessive grief and the pain of miscarriage, Jiang Shiwan's voice became hoarse and she was unable to get up.

Xueying, Dr. Mei and others around her still took good care of her, but Meng Tingzhou never came once.

"Xue Ying, have you gone to ask the governor?"

"Please... please pass."

From Xueying's hesitant tone, Jiang Shiwan seemed to have realized something: "Where is he?"

Xueying stammered, "The governor has been staying at the Turkic beauty Ashiyi's place these days."

Jiang Shiwan was stunned.

If Xue Ying hadn't mentioned it, she would have even forgotten the existence of this person in the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that Jiang Shiwan didn't speak for a long time, Xue Ying whispered, "Madam, when I came back today, a Turkic maid handed me a piece of paper and asked me to give it to you."

Jiang Shiwan turned around and took the paper. He saw the words "If you want to know the Red Flower Master, please meet at Luoyu Pavilion in three days."

The signature is Yan Jinxi's.

Jiang Shiwan looked around and asked Xueying: "Did that person say anything else when he gave you the paper?"

Xueying shook her head: "That person just pretended to pass by me without saying anything."

Jiang Shiwan secretly crumpled the note into a ball and warned, "Keep what happened today to yourself and don't tell anyone. Just pretend you know nothing."

After what happened to Yunchang, she was really scared, fearing that one of her actions would bring death penalty to these maids.

After letting Xueying go out, Jiang Shiwan sat down and began to meditate.

After safflower was found in the ear room, it seemed to prove that she was the one who tampered with the medicine.

But he knew in his heart that who put safflower in the medicine was an unsolved mystery.

This is a doubtful point, but I am unable to take it into account due to the physical and mental pain I have been experiencing these days.

Yan Jinxi goes to such great lengths to be mysterious, but does she know something?
