Princess Consort?
She would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.
She was terrified. "It wasn't me, I didn't push you, it wasn't me …"
Chen Xiang looked at her with an unfathomable expression, then fainted from the pain.
Soon, the physician arrived, as did Jing Yi.
In the past few hours, Jing Yi had experienced many ups and downs. He had thought that he was going to have a little heir, but now, Chen Xiang was lying on the bed, and he didn't even know if the child could be saved. That kind of emotion made him want to kill someone.
In front of him was a floor full of people kneeling.
Ji Muqing was the leader, followed by the maids who had been in the room at the time.
His brows were like two sharp swords, raised high, and his angry gaze swept across the people in the room.
He questioned, "Speak, what exactly happened at the time?"
The maids looked at each other, not daring to speak.
"Speak!"
His reproachful voice echoed in the room.
The maid who had helped Chen Xiang onto the bed spoke, "It … it was Princess Consort who pushed Side Consort."
Ji Muqing, who had already collapsed to the ground, turned around and glared at the maid. "What nonsense are you spouting? I didn't push her at all. "
"This servant is speaking the truth."
"You're spouting nonsense."
Jing Yi's expression was cold as he asked the maid, "Speak properly, what exactly happened at the time?"
"Replying to Your Highness, because Side Consort took Cailan to her side, Princess Consort was very angry and came here to demand her back. In the end, Side Consort fell to the ground during the shoving. Before she fainted, Side Consort said it was Princess Consort who pushed her."
"I didn't …" Ji Muqing knelt on the ground and tugged at Jing Yi's robes. She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, you must believe me. I really didn't push her. I didn't push her. She's lying."
She was begging and crying!
Jing Yi looked down at her sternly. This woman was too disgusting!
How could he let someone who dared to hurt his child off?
Thereupon —
He raised his leg and kicked Ji Muqing's shoulder, sending her flying a meter back.
She vomited blood immediately!
Her old injuries had not yet healed, and now she had a new one. It was simply killing her.
Jing Yi looked down at her from above, ruthlessly saying, "This prince has already been extremely benevolent to you and tolerated you to a certain extent. If this child cannot be saved this time, this prince will kill you."
In the end, he was still a child!
It was fine if Chen Xiang died, but nothing could happen to the child.
Inside the room, the physician had already finished taking her pulse and Chen Xiang had woken up.
The physician said, "Don't worry, Side Consort. The Little Heir is fine. You only fell and will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Doctor, how could he be fine?" Chen Xiang said meaningfully.
"Indeed, I'm fine."
"No, I'm not fine, but something big has happened."
Hmm?
The doctor didn't quite understand. He had never made a mistake in diagnosing the pulse for many years. This time, he definitely wouldn't make a mistake.
Chen Xiang sat up on the bed and glanced outside before saying, "Doctor, when you go out later, please tell His Highness that this consort's fetus might not be able to survive and needs to be carefully nurtured."
"Ah? This … "
"Just this one sentence. As long as you tell His Highness, this consort will reward you handsomely."
"How can I do that? Side Consort, you're fine to begin with. If I tell His Highness like this …" Wouldn't that make him look incompetent as a physician?
Chen Xiang shot a glance at the maidservant beside her. The maidservant took out a bracelet from a brocade box on the dressing table and handed it to the physician.
The moment he saw that bracelet, the physician's bottom line was gone.
He held it in his hands and examined it carefully. This bracelet was made of top-grade jade.
Seeing the greed in his eyes, Chen Xiang struck while the iron was hot. "As long as you say the word, not only this bracelet, but gold, silver, and other treasures will all be yours in the future."
The physician's eyes were already shining. How could he care so much? He quickly agreed.
He kept the bracelet properly.
In this world, who didn't love money?
Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. This had always been the law of fate.
After the physician left, he put on the expression of a doctor meeting with a critically ill family member. He said to Jing Yi, "Your Highness, this lowly one has tried his best. Side Consort had a serious fall. She's fine now, but the little heir in her womb …"
Jing Yi's eyes darkened as he asked anxiously, "Speak, how is the little heir?"
"The little heir is fine for now, but … if he doesn't recuperate properly, I'm afraid he won't survive."
When he lied, his face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat faster.
A physician like this should be dragged to the eighteenth level of hell and fried in a pot of oil.
"Useless."
The physician hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Your Highness, please spare my life. This lowly one will do his best to protect the little heir in the side consort's womb."
"If anything happens to the little heir, don't even think about keeping your life."
"Yes … this lowly one will do his best."
"Scram."
The physician got up from the ground and scrambled to get the medicine.
The little heir might not be able to survive?
These words seemed to push everyone in the room onto the guillotine. If the little heir died, everyone would die with him.
Jing Yi hurriedly went in to check on Chen Xiang. She was lying on the bed, her face pale and sickly. When she saw him, she couldn't help but cry.
"Your Highness, it's all this concubine's fault. If I hadn't begged you to bring Cailan to our side, Princess Consort wouldn't be so angry, and our child would be fine."
She was sobbing.
Jing Yi held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, our child will definitely be fine. The physician said that as long as he recuperates properly, nothing will happen to him."
"Your Highness …"
"Have a good rest. This King will definitely not stand by and watch you suffer such a great grievance."
"Your Highness, please don't blame Princess Consort. She didn't mean it."
"You don't have to care so much. Just rest well." Jing Yi caressed her pale face.
She nodded sickly.
After Jing Yi turned and left, Chen Xiang's pitiful face instantly turned sinister and frightening. She sneered, "Ji Muqing, you're going to suffer this time. I want to see whether your two brothers are more powerful, or the little heir in my womb is more powerful."
Just wait for your death!
A maidservant at the side stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Princess Consort."
Yes, call her Princess Consort!
Her face beamed with joy.
Outside, Jing Yi looked at Ji Muqing, who had been kicked away by him. A ball of fire burned in his eyes, but he tried his best to restrain it.
He ordered, "Someone, drag Princess Consort to the woodshed. Let her out when the side consort's fetus is safe."
"Yes." A manservant stepped forward and dragged the "rotten meat" off the ground.
