So knowing this road is incredibly difficult, you still chose to walk it Knowing that if you're discovered, your only path is death, would you risk everything to rush forward"Her words were met with...Zi’er successfully whetted everyone's appetites. Looking at the expressions of the emperor, Ye Er, and Xiao Qin, she could see they were all tense. A smile crept across her mind.

But his face remained tightly furrowed, and he continued in a serious tone, "The fetus in the county princess's womb is indeed dead."

"!"

As soon as she said that, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Especially Xiao Qin, this woman even said that the fetus in her womb was a stillbirth

This statement had a huge impact on Xiaoqin.

She instantly forgot where she was and who she was facing.

In Xiao Qin's eyes, these words spoken by the woman before her felt like a curse on the child she carried in her womb.

So, at that moment, fury surged through Xiao Qin. Without a word, she fiercely pulled her wrist back from Zhi'er's grasp.

Her face was full of anger, her slightly trembling hand pointing at Ji'er's face as she shouted angrily, "You... how can you, a woman, talk such nonsense."

At this moment, Xiaoqin was truly furious.

No one knew how much she longed for the child growing within her.

He cares deeply about the child she and Ye Er share.

So to suddenly hear this woman in front of her say that the fetus in her womb was a stillbirth, how could she bear it

At this moment, the only one who could dare to speak was the Emperor's consort. She was a concubine whose word held enough power to have her and Ye Er beheaded.

After Xiao Qin made such a gesture and said those words, Ye Er immediately came to her senses. He quickly reached out to pull Xiao Qin down and feigned a reprimand, "Qin'er, you must not be so rude to the Empress."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Xiaoqin down and knelt.

At this moment, Xiaoqin also came to her senses.

Realizing what she had just said and done to the woman, her face grew even paler.

She...she actually pointed at the emperor's concubine, accusing her of talking nonsense.

Now it's really over!

If the Emperor were to become angry, she and her husband would likely not be able to leave the palace today.

Thinking of how her momentary impulse might endanger Master Ye, she trembled involuntarily.

Just as Xiao Qin was feeling apprehensive, Ye Er spoke up at this moment, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Empress, my wife is just too worried about the child in her womb. She couldn't accept the result you just said for a while."

"Therefore… therefore he has lost his mind, behaving so treacherously towards the Empress."

"Your Majesty and Empress, please forgive me."

After Ye Er finished speaking, Xiaoqin came to her senses and also wanted to apologize.

But Ye Er held her wrist tightly, clearly not wanting her to speak at this time.

She could only lower her head, purse her lips, a mixture of guilt and resentment churning in her heart.

She didn't believe that the fetus in her womb was truly dead.

If there was truly something wrong with the fetus in her womb, Young Mistress Ning would have told both her and Master Ye when she felt her pulse earlier.

If there's anything wrong, Ning'er wouldn't hide it from her.

Therefore, she was more inclined to believe what the woman in front of her wanted to do, so she deliberately used her unborn child as a bargaining chip.

Although she didn't know what this woman's purpose was, the fact that she dared to use her unborn child as a bargaining chip filled her with hatred.

But for now, in order not to implicate her husband, she could only endure it.

While Xiaoqin's actions just now, Zhi'er didn't really take them to heart.

The Emperor was also thinking about what Zhi'er had said, so he didn't care much about Xiaoqin's anger and behavior.

But at this moment, the emperor still pretended to be angry, his cold eyes swept over Ye Er and Xiao Qin for a glance, and said coldly, "Princess, you are truly capable. This Emperor doesn't even dare to scold his beloved concubines, yet you dare to point fingers and curse."

Ye Er, Xiao Qin: “!”

Both of them felt a chill down their spine.

But before Ye Er and the others could apologize, the emperor's gaze fell on Chi'er beside him, his voice softening. "My beloved, I listen to you. How do you think we should handle the princess's outrageous behavior"

With her head bowed, Ye Er's lips were pursed tightly, her heart pounding wildly.

Await the woman's sentencing.

The Emperor has placed the choice in this woman's hands. Will she punish Xiaoqin or not

Leaf Two couldn't guess.

Zhi'er raised an eyebrow, her thoughtful gaze falling on Ye Er and Xiao Qin's heads bowed in silence.

For a moment, no one spoke.

The more she remained silent, the more uneasy people felt.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Ye Er gritted her teeth and just about to speak up for Xiao Qin when...

At this, Zhi'er finally responded with a sigh, "It's alright, I know you didn't mean it, Your Highness. After all, you only care about the child in your womb."

"The princess couldn't accept such a result upon hearing it, so she acted out of character. This palace understands."

"Lord Ye and Lady Jun should not take this just now to heart."

"!" Xiaoqin bit her lip. The woman's words were clearly telling her that the baby in her womb was problematic.

The anger that had been building in her chest almost got the best of her. Xiaoqin wanted to look up and confront her at this moment.

Luckily, Ye Er kneeling beside her felt her increasingly trembling body and tightened his grip on her wrist even more.

Xiaoqin then slowly calmed down.

After Chi'er finished speaking, Ye Er felt a chill run down his spine. He forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. However, I don't quite understand what you meant just now."

When I was at the palace, the doctor I consulted clearly said that my wife and her unborn child were both well. Why does your Majesty say it is a stillbirth

Zhier arched an eyebrow, "Although this palace's medical skills aren't that refined, I can still feel the pulse accurately. The fetus in the County Princess's womb is a dead one."

"If Lord Ye and the County Princess don't believe me, perhaps we should have the best doctor in the world examine the County Princess."

“!”

Who is the best doctor in the world

Hearing those words come out of Zhi'er's mouth, Ye Er, who was usually so quick-witted, immediately understood what Zhi'er meant by all she had said today.

Now everyone in the capital knows that the best doctor in the world is the Princess Consort of Beijang.

And the news that the Princess of Bei Jiang had managed to reattach her severed arm and cure any poison has spread throughout the entire capital, for some reason.

The deposed prince, Mo Yunchen, had originally had his arm severed, but in the end, the Northern Frontier Princess managed to get it reattached.

As soon as this news spread, people all over the world were talking about how skilled the North Frontier Princess was in medicine, claiming she was the best doctor in the world.

So, upon hearing this, Ye Er immediately understood.

As expected, Chi'er came to the Northern Border Princess today.

Remembering how Mo Yunze couldn't enter the Bei Jiang Wangfu even with the imperial edict these days, Ye Er guessed that Zhi Er was deliberately saying these things now. Most likely, she was trying to use him and Xiao Qin to get in touch with Bei Jiang Wangfu.

She also wanted to find out what was going on inside the Beijang Prince's Mansion.

After thinking it through, Ye Er pretended not to know who the best doctor in the world was. "But Your Majesty," he said, "I don't know who the best doctor in the world is. What should we do" was just a narrow alleyway visible from end to end; what could possibly be amissAnd Han Yun stood there for a moment, then suddenly raised his foot and walked into that narrow alley.Read novels for f...
