Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 574 Developments

"Ning'er, look, can I give this to Yuan'er?" Like an older brother, Xiao Lin took out a longevity lock from his bosom, with the word "Yuan" engraved on it.

"Where did this come from?" Jing Ning asked curiously, now she never thought that Xiao Lin would do such a thing.

"I picked it up from that house over there." Xiao Lin carefully held the Longevity Lock and pointed not far away.

Jing Ning looked in the direction of his finger. It was the palace where Xiao Yuan lived when she was alive. Thinking of this, Jing Ning's eyes began to dim.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin felt a pang in his heart, but his face showed grievance, "What's wrong? Does Ning'er not like it? If you don't like it, then I won't give it to Yuan'er."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lin threw the longevity lock in his hand on the ground.

Jing Ning heard the voice and came back to his senses. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help scolding, "What are you doing! Why are you losing your temper?!"

"I...I..." Xiao Lin squeezed tears into her eyes like a child, "I thought Ning'er didn't like..."

When Jing Ning heard this, her face froze, and only then did she realize that she was too angry and scared him, "Uh, I don't dislike anything, you can give it to Yuan'er now!"

"Good!" Xiao Lin took the longevity lock and ran out happily.

Jing Ning looked at Xiao Lin's back and sighed deeply, she was so tired... With this feeling, she felt that she had raised two sons, and she was surrounded by a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

On the other side, after Xiao Lin left the royal study, his face changed, his eyes became clear, when will those people come out?How long will he have to wait?He was afraid that Jing Ning would not be able to bear it anymore...

At the same time, Xia Guo.

In the water prison of Longge, Xia Yinhu was still imprisoned. If he was handsome and unrestrained before, now he is skinny and there is not much flesh left on his body. His figure is skinny at best.

There was only the sound of rattling water, and someone walked towards the water prison.

Xia Yinhu raised his eyes weakly, and looked at the person who came, "Xia Longyu, what do you want to say this time?"

These days, Xia Longyu would always talk to Xia Yinhu about things in the palace, but they were all trivial matters, Xia Yinhu always went in from one ear to the other and out from the right.

"Brother Huang, I want to come here this time to tell you that the fetus in Sister-in-Law's stomach is stable, and in a few days, Sister-in-law Huang is going to give birth." Xia Longyu said with a smile, but his smile was tinged with coldness, making everyone in the room feel cold. Xia Yinhu in the water felt the freezing point.

"Xia Longyu, what exactly are you going to do?" Xia Yinhu was flustered, he always felt that Xia Longyu was planning something big.

"Brother Huang, do you still remember your white jade longevity lock? In fact, Brother Huang also has one, and it is exactly the same. Do you think it is a coincidence?" Xia Longyu ignored what Xia Yinhu said, as if he was recalling the past.

Xia Yinhu didn't understand what Xia Longyu meant at all, the white jade longevity lock was just an ordinary personal item, why did Xia Longyu mention this to him?What's more, Xia Longyu had already taken his longevity lock away.

Then, Xia Longyu became silent again, knowing that someone whispered a few words in his ear, he left, and when he turned around, he said: "The show is about to start, when the time comes, the emperor will tell the emperor about this." What a wonderful show."

"Stop, Xia Longyu, what on earth are you trying to do?! Stop, stop!" Xia Yinhu kept struggling, but it was useless, his hands and feet were still bound tightly by the iron chain.

Looking at Xia Longyu's back going away, Xia Yinhu felt the darkness of life engulfing him.

……

"Slap!" There was a burst of clear applause from Qinglai Palace.

Lai Xia was covering her right face, kneeling on the ground, her face was pale, "Queen, why did you hit me?"

"You are shameless, you have Hu'er's child in your womb, and you are licking your face to seduce Xia Longyu, you are such a slut!" Empress Xian cursed loudly.

Those who watched the theater outside were surprised when they heard the words of Empress Xian. The former Empress Xian was a well-bred person, so unlike today, she yelled and cursed, just like ordinary people.

Lai Xia didn't speak, her face became paler and paler, but Empress Xian didn't notice anything wrong with her, and continued to insult her.

Empress Xian was already very annoyed. On that day, she went to see Emperor Xian and said that Xia Yinhu's longevity was locked in Xia Longyu's hands, and that Xia Yinhu must be in Xia Longyu's hands.

In the end, the first emperor directly scolded her for thinking too much. Not only that, the first emperor did not believe everything she said, which made her almost collapse.

Immediately afterwards, she was even angrier when she heard the gossip about Laishia in the palace.

"Mother...my stomach hurts..." Only a thin voice could be heard, Lai Xia's pale face, suddenly she felt liquid flow out between her legs, her stomach cramps made her hunched over, she now I don't even care about arguing so much.

Hearing Lai Xia's breathless words, the first queen looked down, and saw that Lai Xia's dress was stained red with blood.

"How are you, Lai Xia?" Empress Xian hurriedly squatted down to check, Lai Xia had already passed out from pain, the former hurriedly shouted: "Come here, pass on the imperial physician!"

In this way, the matter of Empress Lai Xia being beaten to miscarriage by the previous empress quickly spread throughout the palace, and became a hot topic after dinner.

Here, after Xia Longyu received the news, he felt refreshed, and he hurriedly sent someone to go to the southern country to spread the quarrel between the aunt and nephew to the palace in the southern country.

Sure enough, soon, Nanguo sent someone to find out what happened.

However, it was Xia Longyu who was in charge of welcoming the envoys from the Southern Kingdom, so he conflated the truth of the matter directly and uttered nonsense.

And when this happened, the late emperor also put the late empress under house arrest in the palace, not allowed to go out, and no one was allowed to visit, so, only Lai Xia knew what happened.

Lai Xia had a miscarriage, coupled with being unconscious, the nurse who delivered the baby didn't know what to do.

"How's it going inside?" When Xia Longyu came, he saw the nanny who was in charge of delivering the baby hovering at the door.

"Your Highness Jade King, this lady is unconscious, this old slave really doesn't know how to deliver the baby?" Mammy said with a terrified expression.

"Unconscious...then if you pierce your five fingers with silver needles, will it be useful?" Xia Longyu pretended not to understand, and casually mentioned a method that could wake people up from a coma.

This method is a torture method, using silver needles to pierce the finger, ten fingers connected to the heart, it is difficult not to wake up.

"This..." When the midwife heard what Xia Longyu said, she hesitated for a long time. She had seen this torture before. It was so painful that even a soul could come back from the gate of hell.

"Mommy is not well, the empress is bleeding more and more..." A palace maid ran out of the room with a panicked expression.

"What?!" When Mammy heard this, she rushed into the room without thinking too much.
