Chapter 223 The child is gone
Li Jingshu fell to the cold ground in a panic, tears pouring out like a broken dam, her voice trembling and full of pleading: "Cousin! Please forgive me!"
However, the prince was not moved at all. He kicked her hard and said in a very cold tone: "Get lost! I don't want to see your face again!"
Li Jingshu's body curled up in pain. She covered her stomach tightly and let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Cheng Li! How can you be so cruel to me?" Her eyes widened, revealing despair and unwillingness.
The prince just glanced at her coldly, then turned around resolutely and ordered the guards around him without any reluctance: "The Crown Princess has a sudden illness and has gone insane! You must keep a good eye on her! Never allow her to step out of the bedroom!" After that, he left without looking back, leaving Li Jingshu alone to endure the pain and humiliation.
In the second half of the night, everything was silent, and the moonlight was like water falling on the palace. Crown Prince Chu Chengli was immersed in a sweet dream with his concubine Li Xuemei, but a burst of urgent shouting broke the silence.
"Prince! The Crown Princess had a miscarriage!" The guard's voice sounded outside the door, with a hint of panic and nervousness.
Chu Chengli was awakened by the sudden cry, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He rubbed his eyes and cursed impatiently: "What are you screaming about! If you have a miscarriage, go get the doctor! What are you still standing there for?"
The guard stood outside the door and said anxiously, "But the Crown Princess wants to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! She said she has something to tell you..."
Chu Chengli frowned even more, and he felt very irritated. At this time, Li Xuemei beside him said softly: "Your Highness, I understand how my sister feels at the moment. Maybe she needs your comfort. Why don't you let me go to see my sister? Your Highness, you don't have to go in person, so as not to be contaminated by the filthy air."
Chu Chengli listened to Li Xuemei's words and felt that they made some sense. He nodded dazedly and said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you, my beloved concubine. Go check on her for me and tell her that I will pray for her!" After that, he turned over and lay down again, continuing to fall asleep.
Li Xuemei stood up gently, straightened her clothes, and then winked at the guard at the door. The guard understood, quickly withdrew, and went to the Crown Princess's bedroom together.
On the other side, the Crown Princess's bedroom was filled with a tense atmosphere. The Crown Princess looked pale and weak. She lay on the bed with tears in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly.
When she saw Li Xuemei coming, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart: "Witch! How dare you come here? What on earth do you want to do?"
Li Xuemei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Haha, I just came to see my good sister. By the way, I want to tell you that the Crown Prince asked me to bring you a message. He said that he would pray for you day and night in front of the Buddha, praying that you are safe and sound."
Hearing this, Li Jingshu was so angry that she trembled all over, her beautiful eyes widened, and she shouted angrily: "Get out of here! I never want to see a vicious woman like you again!" Her voice was full of anger and determination, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.
Li Xuemei looked at the guards solemnly and ordered in a firm tone: "In my opinion, the Crown Princess's current condition is not caused by miscarriage, but more like a hysterical attack! You must quickly leave the house and wait. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"
The guards looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes, but they knew very well that Li Xuemei was in favor, so they did not dare to neglect her in the slightest and turned around and left silently.
At this moment, only Li Jingshu and Li Xuemei were left in the house. Li Jingshu stared at the closed door, her heart filled with fear and despair. Suddenly, she screamed: "Go and call the imperial physician for me! Save my child! Go quickly!" Her voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce the dull air. However, the guards outside the door remained indifferent and followed Li Xuemei's orders and stayed at their posts.
Li Xuemei slowly sat on Li Jingshu's bed, her eyes flashing with gloating. She said in a gloomy tone: "Back then, when my mother was about to give birth, your mother, the wife of the prime minister, actually withdrew all the people who could help my mother. The result is imaginable. After giving birth to my sister and me, my mother passed away due to hemorrhage!"
Li Jingshu looked at her with horror and said in a trembling voice: "That's all the grudges of the previous generation! What does it have to do with me! Please, save my child! Where's the prince? This is his eldest son!"
Li Xuemei seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She laughed so hard that her body shook. After a long while, she stopped laughing and said, "If the prince really loved your child, how could he have the heart to kick you in the stomach? Li Jingshu, Li Jingshu! Think about how proud you were when you were the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, but now you have ended up like this. You don't even have a maid who treats you sincerely!"
Li Jingshu struggled to get up from the bed. She stretched out her trembling hands and tightly grasped the hem of Li Xuemei's skirt, her eyes flashing with despair and pleading: "Please, for the sake of us being sisters, save me!"
However, Li Xuemei mercilessly knocked her hand away, her eyes were as cold as ice, and her voice was cold and ruthless: "Save you? Have you ever thought about how your mother treated my mother back then? Now, all this is just karma!"
Li Jingshu's face turned pale as paper, tears welled up in her eyes. She knew very well what her mother had done wrong, but now she was in a desperate situation and had no other choice but to ask Li Xuemei for help.
"Sister, I know mother has done something wrong to you, but I am innocent! Please let me go..." Li Jingshu burst into tears, trying to arouse Li Xuemei's sympathy.
However, Li Xuemei's heart had long been blinded by hatred, and she could not forgive what Li Jingshu's mother had done. She glared at Li Jingshu fiercely, turned away, and left Li Jingshu trembling on the spot.
Three days later, the imperial physician finally came to Li Jingshu's room. He carefully observed Li Jingshu's complexion and pulse, then frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed, "The Crown Princess' miscarriage this time has caused great harm to her body! I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future!"
Hearing this news, Li Jingshu's eyes became empty, as if she had lost all her vitality. She stared at the bed curtain above her head silently without saying a word. At this moment, her heart was filled with despair and helplessness.
Recalling what Luo Lingyue said before, Li Jingshu felt that she was really too stupid and naive. Cheng Li, on the surface, looked gentle and elegant, but in fact he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He didn't care about her feelings at all, let alone their unborn child.
Li Jingshu felt extremely regretful and self-blame. If she had been smarter, perhaps she would not have ended up like this. But now it was too late. She could only endure it all silently...
All this was because of Luo Lingyue. If she hadn't designed to harm her maid, how could she be so isolated and helpless now!
Luo Lingyue! I will make your life worse than death!
