Resourceful beauty

Chapter 103
In the steamer-like room, there was a salty and fishy smell, which rushed into Fang Ruxuan's mouth and nose unexpectedly, making her almost vomit.

The inner room was even more chaotic, one of the two women was standing at the head of the bed, pinching Concubine Yun vigorously with her fingers, and the other was standing at the end of the bed, lifting the quilt to look at it from time to time, with an anxious expression on her face.

Concubine Yun had already fainted, and was pinched by the woman. After waking up, her face was full of pain, but her consciousness became more and more unclear, and she was about to faint again.

"Miss, hold on, think about your child..."

Duo'er held Concubine Yun's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to her, but Concubine Yun seemed to have lost her mind, staring blankly at the bed curtain embroidered with pomegranate flowers above her head , without saying a word.

Fang Ruxuan didn't care about that much anymore, stepped forward and dragged Duo'er, lowered her head in front of Concubine Yun and said, "I used to think that you were stronger, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. You can leave the baby in your belly It doesn't matter, maybe it will cost you your own life, when the time comes, not to mention your aunt, even the one in the main hall will wake up laughing from a dream."

Fang Ruxuan's words made Concubine Yun, who had already closed her eyes, wake up instantly.

The hair on her forehead was already wet with sweat, sticking to her face in strands, and her lips were full of teeth marks. At this moment, Concubine Yun was in an indescribably embarrassed state.

"Please, help me..."

Eyes full of pleading, Concubine Yun looked at Fang Ruxuan and said.

With her head as big as a bucket, Fang Ruxuan looked at the two women begging for help, "What's the situation now?"

"The mouth of the cervix has been opened, but the mother is not strong enough, so the child cannot be born. The two old slaves can't help at all. After a long delay, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

The woman standing at the end of the bed didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a long delay, the child will either be stillborn, or will be born stupid. Such examples are never uncommon.

Concubine Yun clenched her fists, looked at the two women and said, "What should I do?"

"If your empress has strength, eat some more, and when the next wave of labor pains occurs, just exert your strength according to the method that the old slave taught you just now."

The old woman hurriedly replied.

There is no pain anywhere in her body, and she is still in the mood to eat, but at such a critical moment, Concubine Yun had to pull herself together. On the side, Duo'er had brought a big bowl of warm brown sugar water in it. Floating a few poached eggs.

Disregarding her image, she devoured her food, and before she finished eating, Concubine Yun lay on her back on the bed with a pained expression on her face, presumably she had another attack.

The heart-piercing cry came to an abrupt end when the mother-in-law said, "Your Majesty, save some energy." Concubine Yun glanced at Duo'er, and Duo'er hurriedly fetched a handkerchief from the side, rolled it up and stuffed it in Concubine Yun's mouth. inside.

The smell of blood became stronger, and the maids in the room became even more flustered. Fang Ruxuan couldn't help much, so she turned around and left the room.

Hearing Concubine Yun's suppressed call, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but frowned. Next to her, Mu Mian came over and said in a low voice, "Mother is strong, Miss, don't worry too much."

Nodding her head, Fang Ruxuan raised her head and glanced at the location of Lishui Pavilion, hesitated for a while and asked, "You have been guarding the Longxue Palace for the past few days, and you haven't found anything unusual?"

Kapok looked embarrassed.

Afraid of Su Yuan's tampering, Mu Mian has been spending all his time on the Yixin Palace these days, but who would have thought that Fang Ruyu, who was bedridden with a miscarriage, would secretly send someone to tamper with her?

"It was my negligence. I thought that as long as the Longxue Palace is guarded like an iron barrel, no matter how outsiders have any means, as long as they can't get in, it's useless. Who would have thought that the second lady can do it."

Thinking of the smile on Fang Ruyu's lips when he left, Kapok said with self-blame.

Knowing that there is a small kitchen in Longxue Hall, and that she is on guard against the people in Yixin Hall, when Fang Ruyu came to visit Concubine Yun, she didn't bring any presents, and said with a smile that when the child is born, she, the elder sister, Do some needlework and say goodbye.

They were all talking about children, and thinking that Fang Ruyu had just had a miscarriage, Concubine Yun's original guard was slowly put down, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

At noon, Su Yuan took Fang Ruhui to the Princess Mansion to watch the ceremony and have a banquet. Su Yuan was not in the mansion, and Concubine Yun didn't seem to be so worried anymore, but she politely stayed Fang Ruyu for dinner, and she just went along with it. down.

After a meal, it was considered harmonious, and Fang Ruyu left after drinking Xiaoshi tea.

From the beginning to the end, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but after Fang Ruyu left for a while, Concubine Yun had an attack, with bursts of abdominal pain, it felt like a hand was pushing the child in her belly down Usually, it made her fall in pain.

"Does she have incense on her?"

Fang Ruxuan asked subconsciously.

Kapok shook her head, "Duo'er said that since Concubine Yun became pregnant, there is no need for incense in the Longxue Palace, and only some flowers and fruits are placed on weekdays. When the second lady came today, she didn't smell like musk on her body. It smells faintly of powder."

"Go, call the butler..."

Instructing the kapok, Fang Ruxuan thought quickly about what method Fang Ruyu used to cause Concubine Yun to give birth prematurely, and such a method was the same as when her mother died that day.

Something seemed to flash through his mind, before Fang Ruxuan could catch it, there was a cry of a baby in the inner hall.

Fang Ruxuan didn't hear Duo'er yelling "Miss", she knew that Concubine Yun was definitely fine.

After a while, one of the women came out with a big red baby in her arms and said, "Congratulations to the Princess, you have a baby boy."

It's a boy.

He leaned forward and saw a red and wrinkled baby in the swaddle, eyes closed and mouth pouted, the hair on his head was quite thick.

"How is Concubine Yun?"

Reaching out to touch the baby's little hand, Fang Ruxuan asked the woman.

"Your Majesty fainted, but it's okay, just take a good rest and recuperate for a while."

The mother-in-law replied.

Reassuring, Fang Ruxuan turned her head to Ding Xiang and said, "Go to the cashier and tell me, the two nuns have contributed to the delivery of the baby today, and the father has ordered that each reward 100 taels of silver."

The mother-in-law thanked her with a smile on her face, turned around and carried the baby into the room. Behind her came the voice of the butler, "Princess..."

"You take a few women who are strong and powerful, and go to Lishui Pavilion to restrain the second lady. Then, search Lishui Pavilion up and down. No matter what is wrong, come back to me immediately."

Fang Ruxuan looked back at the butler.

"This... princess, there is no proof, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

The butler was a little hesitant.

Fang Ruyu is already married, and although she lives in the palace now, she is no longer the lady in the boudoir. What's more, although there are many doubts about Concubine Yun, there is no evidence to search her house like this. What matters is Fang Ruxuan's face.

If something is found, it's okay to say, but if it can't be found, Fang Ruxuan's bad reputation of disobeying her mother and disregarding her elder sister can't escape.

Fang Ruxuan looked disapproving, "Just do as I say, and I will bear all the consequences."

Shaking his head helplessly and leaving, the head steward didn't dare to forget King Qi's instructions before he left, and brought a few women to surround Lishui Pavilion and turn it upside down.

Sure enough, nothing was found, and Fang Ruyu looked confident, as if she was sure that Fang Ruxuan couldn't do anything to her.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived at Lishui Pavilion, she saw Fang Ruyu stretching out her hand to angrily scold the women who searched the house, saying that they were arrogant and didn't take her as the second lady seriously. Fang Ruxuan knew that she really wanted to scold herself, but she also Without taking it to heart, she turned around and told the women, "Tie up Second Miss and throw her into the woodshed. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."

Fang Ruyu's face suddenly changed, "Fang Ruxuan, how dare you?"

The women on the side looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to step forward to do anything. Fang Ruxuan knew what they were worried about, and said sharply, "Can you forget what my father said?"

King Qi had told the butler before he left, but whatever Fang Ruxuan said, he must do what she said, even the princess's words could be ignored.

Thinking that Fang Ruxuan was standing in front of her when something happened, the women became ruthless, stepped forward and bound Fang Ruyu with their backhands, pushed and pushed towards the backyard, Fang Ruyu still cursed at Fang Ruxuan.

"In half an hour, the concubine will probably be back,"

Behind him, Ding Xiang said anxiously.

Fang Ruxuan was not afraid, although there was no evidence, but she was sure: Concubine Yun's miscarriage must be Fang Ruyu's method.

Looking around in the Lishui Pavilion, seeing that there was nothing unusual about Mu Mian shaking her head, Fang Ruxuan went to the backyard.

In the firewood room, Fang Ruyu was sitting on the haystack, with a complacent expression on her face, as if she was saying: When mother comes back, I will see how you explain to her.

Fang Ruxuan waved her hand, motioning for Kapok and Dingxiang to go out, Fang took a step forward and said to Fang Ruyu, "The day my mother left, you also used the same means as today, right? Guess, do I have proof?"

In just a moment, the smile on Fang Ruyu's face disappeared, and she looked at Fang Ruxuan in disbelief, Fang Ruyu shouted loudly: "Crazy, you are a crazy..."

Fang Ruyu never imagined that Fang Ruxuan would know about the secret thing in the past.

But seeing Fang Ruxuan's expression, it didn't look like she was cheating on her at all. Fang Ruyu was a little scared in her heart, but she insisted on retorting: "Your mother died of a serious illness, how could she have anything to do with me?" ? Fang Ruxuan, you are crazy to bite like this, no one will believe your words."

"Then wait and see if anyone will believe it. In short, you can't get out, and don't expect your mother to let you get out of here."

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Fang Ruxuan knew that it was Ding Xiang who had come to deliver the message, and Su Yuan must have returned home to know about Fang Ruyu's entrapment.

Leaning down, Fang Ruxuan whispered in Fang Ruyu's ear: "Instead of thinking about how to get rid of the crime, Second Sister, why not think about what happened that day, what happened today, and about the child you lost. , you always have something to say."

After all, Fang Ruxuan left Xia Ruyu out of the firewood room.
