Chapter 389 I Will Make You Pay the Price
A muffled thunder streaked across the sky, resounding through the clouds. It was just the beginning of spring, could it be that it was going to rain soon?
Xiaowan and Xiaoling immediately supported Daiyu and said with a smile:
"Miss, we have never been wronged. You don't know Concubine Jin's temper!
Let’s go back to the room!”
Daiyu was still worried, so she thought that it was still cold in spring, so if she went back to her room to see if they were injured, wouldn't everything be clear then?
In this way, Xiaowan supported Daiyu, Xiaoling held the kerosene lamp, and the three of them, master and servants, slowly walked towards Cuizhu Garden.
Isn't it going to rain? Just as they reached the old tree in front, a sparse drizzle fell quietly. They couldn't help but quicken their pace and soon arrived in the room.
Xiaowan made the bed for Daiyu, while Xiaoling went to the kitchen and brought back a bowl of cordyceps and pheasant soup. However, Daiyu felt it was too greasy to eat so late at night, so she drank a few mouthfuls and put it on the table.
"Boom, boom" a muffled thunder sounded, Daiyu's heart tightened and she couldn't help but shiver.
The maids were about to leave for the outer room, but Daiyu pulled them back:
"You can sleep on the couch in the inner room; there's no one else there anyway.
There was thunder at night, what a shock!
The two of them were immediately terrified. The wound on their arms had mostly healed, but the wound on their backs...
As they thought about it, the two of them secretly prayed that Daiyu would fall asleep soon while they were taking off their clothes.
Daiyu lay in bed, but could not fall asleep. Hongxuan's words were still ringing in her ears: It's all because of you that you forced my mother away and made my father sick!
As I was thinking about it, the little guy in my belly seemed to be having fun. Maybe he was used to his bed and knew that his room was the safest place?
Daiyu's belly was bulging out like a small bulge next to her belly button, and then it was moving slowly in her lower abdomen like little feet. Daiyu couldn't sleep anymore.
She could only stroke her belly gently and read to him:
"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."
Before he could finish his words, it felt like a small hand reached out from inside his belly and hit it. Daiyu cried out "ouch", and he became quiet.
Daiyu could not help but sigh: "Oh, I am afraid that in the future I will be ignorant and unlearned, and will not be able to listen to any literature!"
Unexpectedly, the cry of "Ouch" frightened the two people on the couch. They got out of bed in their bellybands and came to Daiyu's bed without even putting on their padded jackets.
Xiaowan asked anxiously, "Miss, are you okay?"
Daiyu slowly turned around and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, it's just the kid who got a little naughty!"
Xiaowan and Xiaoling immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They took another look at Daiyu's belly. Xiaoling leaned over and gently touched it, then said with a smile:
"Be good, stop being naughty and let your mother have a good rest!"
After saying that, they turned around and went back to the couch.
No sooner said than done, Daiyu vaguely discovered a few shallow scars on their backs, as if they had been beaten by something.
Daiyu rubbed her eyes again in disbelief. Indeed, although the two of them were walking in front, the scars on the girls' delicate skin were particularly eye-catching.
Daiyu couldn't help but shout angrily: "Come here, both of you!"
Xiaoling and Xiaowan didn't know what was going on. The girl had never lost her temper with them before. Why...
Daiyu picked up the candle on the table and shone it on their backs. Sure enough, the scars, big and small, seemed to be waging a silent protest.
Daiyu suddenly collapsed on the bed powerlessly, and Xiaowan placed the candlestick on the table. The two of them lowered their heads as if they had done something wrong, listening quietly to Daiyu's sobs.
Daiyu wiped her tears and hugged them both in her arms.
The matter was clear now. She suddenly remembered that she was locked up in the woodshed. No need to ask, it was Xiaoling who was locked up in the darkroom that time. This time it seemed that they were locked up together!
Daiyu hurriedly got out of bed and rummaged through the drawers to find the jade skin ointment, golden wound medicine, and purple gold blood circulation pill that the prince had given her. Without saying a word, she applied them to the girls' delicate skin.
Daiyu was furious at the despicable treatment used against the girls in such a huge palace.
He also felt that the eldest lady must have been completely sure that day before she brought those men in black to attack him and the prince. Looking at the appearance of those men, they didn't look like people from the Duke of Tong's Mansion at all!
She gently applied the ointment on the girls' skin and secretly swore in her heart: This time, she would never let the girls suffer this injustice in vain, she must get it back for them!
Xiaowan and Xiaoling just felt that there must be a reason why Daiyu applied the ointment to them without saying a word.
He turned around hastily, only to see Daiyu sitting on the bed, gritting her teeth, her eyes blazing with fire. In a moment of anxiety, they both touched Daiyu's hand and cried,
"Girl, don't overthink it!
We are really fine now. At this critical moment, we still have to take care of the children!"
Daiyu nodded silently, and then she hugged the two of them again. After a long while, she told them word by word:
"Don't worry, I will make the person who did this pay the price!"
When the master and servant woke up, it was already noon. Xiaowan hurried to the small kitchen to prepare meals, while Xiaoling fetched water for Daiyu to wash.
When it was time to eat, Daiyu pulled them both to sit down and insisted that they drink the pheasant soup. She also asked each of them to have some extra bamboo shoots stewed with ham and purple rice soup.
Xiaowan chuckled:
"I think you want us to become fat and unfit for marriage in a few years!
Always with you!"
Xiaoling's porridge suddenly spurted out, and she pointed at Xiaowan and said:
"You...you...you girl must have fallen in love with a man? It can't be Xiaoluzi!"
Xiaowan's face flushed red with embarrassment when she heard this. She ran to Xiaoling and was about to hit her, muttering, "You're talking nonsense! Maybe you've fallen in love with men!"
Daiyu deliberately slammed the table, pointed at the two of them, and shouted angrily:
"If you don't eat well, I'll punish you by making each of you marry a handsome scholar in a few years, and give birth to a bunch of fat boys!
Today the eldest daughter-in-law scolds me, tomorrow the younger daughter-in-law scolds me..."
Xiaowan and Xiaoling said in unison:
"Girl, you are the most cruel..."
At this moment, the little girl came to report: "Fujin, change your clothes quickly, the emperor is here and is visiting the prince in the study!"
Daiyu was startled. The Emperor had arrived? Did the imperial physician go to the palace to tell her something? Or was it about the prince's illness?
Without thinking too much, Xiaowan and the others hurriedly changed Daiyu into formal clothes and went to the study.
When they arrived at the study, Jiaorou and Siyu were already standing there neatly dressed. Seeing Daiyu coming, the three of them all paid their respects to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand, and they stood respectfully on one side of the study.
In front of the prince's bed, there were several imperial doctors standing there. Some of them were taking the prince's pulse, and some were looking at his pupils.
Suddenly, several imperial doctors shook their heads in unison and quickly came before the emperor. They knelt together and said in awe:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the prince is almost at the end of his rope!
It is said that although the prince's wound is serious, it is not fatal. I don't know why he hasn't woken up yet!
Judging from his pulse, I'm afraid he only has a few days left!"
Unexpectedly, the emperor slammed the table and shouted:
"Nonsense, I order you to rescue me no matter what means you use!
Otherwise, bring your head to me!"
After saying this, he turned and came to the prince's bedside, looked at his pale face and weak body, and said softly:
"Old Thirteen, my words are golden. I command you to come to see me alive!"
When Daiyu heard the doctor's words, she walked to the bedside in a daze, completely ignoring the emperor standing beside her. She touched the prince's face and blurted out:
"You can't die, you can't break our oath!
If you leave, I will never live in vain!"
