It had been a month since she stopped taking Bizi Decoction, and she didn't know if she could get pregnant. Her menstrual period was delayed for two days, but it was normal to be delayed for a few days.
So I didn’t dare to expect anything.
The prince had also been to other courtyards, but there was no news from anyone. Jin Xin even doubted whether it was the prince who was dying.
But he can get the princess pregnant, so there should be no problem.
In the morning, Prince Rui didn't have to go to court, so he didn't get up and continued to rest with Jin Xin in his arms.
At this time, Qiu Ling pushed open the door and put a bowl of medicine on the table. She felt a little guilty, but still had the courage to say, "Master, the avoidance soup has been prepared and placed here for you."
These words made Jin Xin pause, and she immediately woke up, but she didn't dare to get up. She looked at the man beside her, who was still sleeping. Then she slowly got up, opened the curtain, stared at Qiu Ling, "Get out!"
But Qiu Ling didn't dare to leave, so she hurriedly said, "Master, drink this Bizi soup quickly, or it will get cold."
The sound was so loud that it was heard even outside the door, let alone King Rui.
Jin Xin still didn't know that Qiu Ling was so loud on purpose, and she must have been bribed.
She hurriedly looked behind her and saw that Prince Rui had sat up, looking at her coldly, with a bit of solemnity on his face, and asked, "What kind of soup is this?"
Jin Xin quickly knelt down and explained, "I didn't ask her to bring this soup, and I didn't plan to drink it."
"Shut up, just say it." Prince Rui said coldly to Jin Xin, then looked at Qiu Ling.
Qiuling hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Go back to the prince, this is the soup to avoid the child. Please spare your life, the prince. The servant also prepared it according to the order of the master. She said she didn't want to have children, so she asked the servant to wait for the prince to come and prepare a soup every time. First of all, it is the master’s order, and the servant dare not disobey it without permission.”
"Shut up!" Jin Xin scolded.
Where is the lotus seed? She asked Jin Xin to be responsible for this matter. She stopped drinking it a long time ago. Why did Qiu Lian suddenly bring the medicine?
Prince Rui's face was as gloomy as ink, and he looked at Jin Xin with his eyes. There was no warmth in his eyes, and he looked very disappointed.
Seeing his eyes like this, Jin Xin felt a little cold in her heart. She was afraid and stepped forward to explain, but was pushed away by King Rui, and she was instantly pushed to the ground.
"Did you drink the Bizi Soup from the beginning?" Prince Rui gritted his teeth. The flesh on his face was twitching because of his anger. His eyes were cold. If he hadn't restrained his emotions, he would have stood up immediately and strangled her to death.
He worked so hard on her because he wanted her to give birth to his own child, his eldest son. He wanted to give her the greatest favor, but she regarded him as a tiger or water beast and avoided him.
Jin Xin shook his head uneasily and stood up to explain, but he stood up, picked up the still warm Bizi Soup on the table, and walked towards Jin Xin. Jin Xin panicked and backed away hurriedly.
Is he going to kill himself?
She didn't want to die. She still had her mother and younger brother to take care of her. If she died, the life that her mother and younger brother would live in the Hou Mansion would be worse than death.
"Don't you want to give birth? Then drink it. You don't deserve to have my child." He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, squatting down and grabbing her face. Jin Xin shook her head, but he poured it in. Xin hurriedly struggled, pushed away, and spat out the Bizi soup in his mouth.
Prince Rui stood up, looked at her condescendingly, and sneered, "I thought that you were of low status and could only rely on me for survival. Now it seems that I have thought too much. Since you don't want the favor I have given you, Then you can fend for yourself."
After saying that, he walked out.
Jin was anxious and wanted to get up, but his body was already weak due to the excessive panic just now.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to have a baby, please listen to my explanation." Jin Xin hurriedly shouted and ran after her, but was stopped by two guards at the door. She could only watch the prince disappear from her sight from a distance.
Seeing this, she slumped down on the ground, filled with despair.
The prince is furious, what will he do to himself?
Will he kill himself?
But if he didn't kill him, he would despise him, and how could his fate be any better?
Lianrong woke up from her dream when she heard the noise. She hurried out, helped Jin Xin up, and asked in a panic, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
These words made Jin Xin wake up, and she immediately stood up and walked toward the room aggressively. Qiu Ling was already kneeling on the ground, waiting for Jin Xin to fall down.
Jin Xin kicked Qiu Ling away and asked angrily, "Why are you doing this to me?"
Qiuling sobbed, her eyes were red, her face was full of tears, and she raised her head, "I have no choice but to do it myself. My family is being held hostage outside. I am captured and beaten every day. If I don't do this, I and my family will die."
As she spoke, she untied her clothes, revealing the horrific scars on her body, including those from pinching, buttoning, beating, and scars from cigarette burns.
"Who did it?" Lianrong stepped forward in shock. The more she opened it, the more scars she saw.
"It's Concubine Lin. She had my parents and brother captured. She asked me to wait for the prince to come and take out this bowl of duck soup in front of the prince, otherwise she would kill my family."
Lianrong understood this and understood why Jin Xin cried like that at the garden gate just now.
"The drink you gave me last night was also a soothing soup, right?" Lianrong's voice was very soft, and she was sure of this.
Qiuling just cried and acquiesced.
How else could she do this.
Jin Xin closed her eyes in resignation. This matter was a foregone conclusion. She was afraid that she would be rejected by the prince.
Lian Rong was so angry that she slapped Qiu Ling immediately, "You are such a wolf-hearted thing. It was in vain that the master was so kind to you and even gave you money to send you home. Is this how you repaid me?"
Qiu Ling cried, speechless to defend herself.
Jin Xin sighed deeply, "Get up and go back to your room."
Qiuling was startled, raised her eyes, and asked in surprise, "Master, aren't you going to deal with me?"
Jin Xin didn't say anything. What reason did she have to deal with Qiu Ling, whether it was to send her away or frame her, and what evidence was there? Do you want to strangle Qiuling to death in this yard?
Besides, she knew that she had framed Gao Yunwan, and if she got desperate, she would go and expose it.
Hearing this, Qiu Ling stood up happily and said with gratitude, "I know my mistake. I will serve my master with all my heart in the future and will never do anything wrong like today again."
Jin Xin didn't say anything and allowed Qiu Ling to go out happily.
However, Lianrong looked unwilling and said, "Master, can you just let her go easily? If she can do such a thing today, she will do it again in the future."
Jin Xin didn't know it, so she took out the bracelet on her hand, used a needle to open the hidden grid, and picked out a dark brown ball. Jin Xin twisted the ball and her eyes became cold.
"Lianrong, find a chance to give her this medicine." Jin Xin said coldly.
Lianrong quickly took it carefully and asked, "What is this?"
"Pills made from Crane-Crown Red."
It was difficult to get this thing in the back house, so she would naturally prepare some with her, just to solve some troubles.
Naturally, Jin Xin can't tolerate her. Since she has so many weaknesses that are being exploited and she can't solve them, let's deal with her.
