Chapter 86
“Miss, let’s stop those grannies, you run out and call for help.” Lin Lang whispered something to Rong Xiangmian.
“No, their primary target is me, I’m wearing such a heavy crown and these clothes, I can’t run out. It is you guys, stay away from me, when I touch my stomach later, you guys will run out to report. Go to the north palace gate and look for Chen Rixin to ask for help.”
Lin Lang and Fei Yun had goosebumps all over their bodies.
They followed Rong Xiangmian towards the group of women at the end of the tunnel and walked slowly.
“Yo, you’re here on behalf of the Empress?” Rong Xiangshi got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, startling the group of people.
They were prepared for Rong Xiangmian to get hysterical and cry, but who knew that she wasn’t the least bit flustered and had the heart to chat with them.
They are here by order of the Empress, but who dares to admit it, so they have no choice but to argue: “Your Highness, don’t talk nonsense, this is not the Yuhang Mansion, so let you make a scene.”
Rong Xiangmian laughed coldly: “This is not Marquis Yong’an’s residence either, and it’s up to Zhang to say what he wants. If you guys listen to the Empress so much, be careful that the Emperor and Empress Dowager will not be happy.”
“What a big mouth, a commoner’s daughter of a public house, but dares to take up the accent in the palace.” The leading Sister was reprimanded by the Empress’ sidekick, and all of her grievances were directed at Rong Xiangmian.
Xiangmian smiled, stroking her abdomen: “I’m a commoner daughter of a public palace, naturally I don’t have much of an accent, but with the royal family’s flesh and blood, it’s a different story.”
With these words, even Linlang and Feiyun were dumbfounded, before realizing that this was the signal given by the girl, and immediately shoved away the stunned courtiers from both sides of the tunnel. Luckily, they had learned a few tricks to get away from Xiao Nan, and quickly got out of the grip, successfully escaped, and ran wildly out of the room.
As they ran, they shouted: ”Someone is trying to murder Consort Yu! Someone is trying to murder Princess Yu!”
Unfortunately, Shoukang Palace’s consort is all princely, not even the guards are stationed. There was no one else in the vicinity except for the slave girls who were originally sent to Yü Wang’s residence and sent back.
Feiyun then realized that they were all calculated step by step.
Behind her, Lin Lang shouted, “You run!”
And then, with one hand, she pounced on the few courtiers who were catching up, dragging them down.
Feiyun didn’t dare to turn her head back and continued to run. It was like she was back to her early childhood when she was fleeing from the famine, in order to steal some food for her starving and crying brother, being wildly whisked around by others to run for her life.
More times than not, she ran faster and faster, stealing more and more.
Later, she was sold to the British Duke’s residence, and she didn’t have to run around lifelessly like this for many years.
Feiyun ran past Shoukang Palace and headed towards Cining Palace. She remembered that it was separated by a garden.
Finally, when the footsteps behind her were about to whisk her away, she saw a few silhouettes passing outside a small garden gate in front of her, and immediately rushed out lifelessly shouting, “Help, someone’s trying to harm Consort Yu!”
When she saw who the other party was, she cried and laughed out, and as soon as she jumped at Rong Xiangzhi’s feet, “Third girl, quickly go to the empress dowager, someone is plotting to harm the fourth …… in Zhaoming Palace.”
Before finishing a sentence, she was covered by the people rushing behind her, and her whole body was lifted up by three chamberlains.
She was like a pig to be slaughtered, struggling with all her strength, struggling to get out a hand, dead grasping the garden door not to let go. Tears gushed out in large chunks, her blurry eyes staring dead on at Rong Xiangzhi, begging for help.
“This noble person must not be nosy. We are acting on the orders of our master, so if you don’t want to cause trouble, just pretend you didn’t hear us.”
These chambermaids did not know that the person was Consort Yu’s own sister, and only thought that it was a noble family member who had entered the palace to congratulate her. The palace repairs slave girls, how would they interfere.
Rong Xiangzhi was startled and shocked just now, and when she saw Feiyun clearly and heard what she said, she knew that it was Rong Xiangshi who had an accident in the palace.
However, the chamberlain’s “master’s order” made her realize that this might be the Empress’s order, and she couldn’t get involved.
So, she sneered, “Where did the crazy woman come from, on the big day, why don’t you quickly lock her up.”
That inner servant immediately bowed and said, “Yes.”
Feiyun’s fingers were dead set on the edge of the door, helplessly the whole person was dragged backward and his nails were lifted over raw.
But the pain of those fingers was far less than the pain in her heart. This is the girl’s own sister ah!
She completely lost hope, like a dead fish, was carried into Shoukang Palace. Together with Linlang, was bundled into dumplings.
Rong Xiangmian was not tied up. Those slaves did not expect, Rong Xiangmian actually pregnant, do not dare to move her. In case of injury to the royal bloodline, this is a life-threatening matter.
They sent someone quietly to Ci Ning Palace to ask the Empress’ Sister Fang for instructions.
Sister Fang immediately called a trusted doctor to take Rong Xiangmian’s pulse.
The result, of course, was no.
“Good, how dare you swindle with such a thing?” That leading Sister sent away the eunuch and was immediately emboldened, greeting her with a big hand, “Tie her up, be careful not to break a bit of flesh.”
Nearly ten people swarmed over her, and Rong Xiangmian took the opportunity to press the mechanism on the bracelet.
Dozens of silver needles were sent out in unison, some of the slaves screamed and covered their faces, blood flowed from their fingers, and they wailed.
The rest of the palace staff, seeing her pressing her wrist, were afraid that there would be silver needles flying out later, and did not dare to approach.
Rong Xiang see a little calm down, thinking that this silver needle will always run out of time, if really no one knows she is out of trouble, so many people are afraid that she is still difficult to escape the poisonous hand.
She raised her hand with a cold face and pressed forward, “This needle is coated with a strong poison, let us out and there will be an antidote, otherwise, just wait for death you guys!”
Those few injured courtiers immediately kneeled down and begged, and the rest of them were scared and avoided far away.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the worse, Rong Xiangxian inclined his head towards the two maids, “Release the two of them as well!”
Those courtiers only hid, instead, a few of the injured ones immediately complied in order to stay alive.
However a leading chamberlain loudly rebuked those people away, he was hiding behind Feiyun, just now he saw that Consort Yu cared about the two slave maids in such a way, his heart had a plan, his dagger was across Feiyun’s neck.
“Your Highness, you are a noble person, but the lives of the servants are cheap. Wangfei’s silver needles just stab over, if Wangfei stabs us once, I will stab a hole in these two maids. By the time your silver needles are all used up, these two maids will be lifeless.”
Feiyun and Linlang showed a look of fear in their eyes, helplessly their mouths were stuffed and they were unable to ask for help, they just whimpered in pain.
When the situation was stalemated, a grandma holding a bowl of chilled green bean and lily soup walked to Xiangmian: “I was offended some days ago, today, please have a bowl of soup for the princess to get rid of the fire, and forgive the slave maids. Your Highness, just rest assured that this soup is non-toxic and will not hurt your life.”
The bowl of soup was getting closer and closer, and the flavor had already pounced on Rong Xiangmian’s nose in a flash.
Only then did Xiangmian realize what the Empress was going to do to her.
The Empress didn’t dare to kill her, but she was going to take revenge on her for the hate she felt for losing her son and not being able to give birth to a child by Yu.
Who made her Yuhang Princess?
A lifetime without a child? Compared to two lives, it seems like a worthwhile exchange.
Acacia received the cold and refreshing soup drink from that night, and the ice-cold soup gushed into her mouth.
“Crown Princess ……” The two maids whimpered, desperately shaking their heads in a futile struggle. They knew that if this bowl of soup went down, the girl would be finished.
