Chapter 173 Return it to her
A thin cut suddenly appeared on Yuezhi's slender white neck, and bright red blood gushed out.
Many people were frightened.
King Jing glanced at him calmly and said, "Doctor Zhao, bandage her first and keep her alive with medicine."
"You won't die so easily if you plot to murder my heir."
Yuezhi was dragged away with blood all over her neck. When Concubine Lu smelled the odor, she couldn't help but vomit.
Her action seemed to have turned on a switch, and the princess and concubine Li also began to feel nauseous.
Mother Li quickly brought tea to the princess: "Princess, take a couple of sips of tea to calm your nerves."
"There's blood here, why don't we move to another place first?"
Mother Li wanted to say it was unlucky, but she didn't dare to be rude in front of King Jing.
There were already maids and servants cleaning up the bloodstains.
King Jing saw that the women looked unhappy, so he said generously: "Everyone go back to your own courtyard first."
"Yes!"
Everyone else left first, only Wan Linlang was still kneeling quietly on the ground.
King Jing did not convict her, but he did not say she was innocent either.
If she leaves like this, she will have to bear the blame for the rest of her life!
King Jing glanced at her and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Wan Linlang's mouth was bitter, "Your Highness, I know nothing about the cassava flour!"
"This servant has been accompanying Concubine Lian for the past few days, walking, sitting and lying together. I have no time to plan such a harmful thing."
"Besides, I have no children, and no favorites... If the Fifth Young Master gets into trouble, it won't benefit me at all. Why would I do such a thing?"
"Your Highness, please investigate Yuezhi thoroughly. There must be someone else behind this girl!"
"She's accusing me because the person behind this probably has a grudge against me and wants to frame me!"
Who in the backyard has a grudge against Wan Linlang?
The first person everyone thought of was Fang Yuaner.
When Wan Linlang said this, she was no longer hinting in a roundabout way, but stating it directly.
King Jing listened without much emotion, "I didn't say you were guilty."
"Let's go back."
Wan Linlang felt relieved after hearing these words.
She then asked, "Can I take the broken porcelain away?"
King Jing raised his eyelids and said, "Since I have promised Concubine Xie, I will not go back on my word."
"When you return, please make good arrangements for her wedding. I will have someone send her a generous gift."
Suici was still standing there with a confused look on his face.
The sudden surprise made her dizzy.
She didn't have much experience and didn't know whether this surprise was filled with joy or sorrow.
Wan Linlang glanced at the silly girl, pulled her to pay her respects to Princess Jing, and then left with her.
After Chunshanyuan finally sent everyone away, Xie Run sat tiredly on the chair, resting his hands on the table and gently rubbing his eyebrows.
Dan Tao stepped forward and asked considerately, "Master, would you like to take off the hairpins and rings?"
She knew that Xie Run always felt these were a burden.
Just as Xie Run was about to agree, he heard someone announce that King Jing had arrived.
She had no choice but to stand up and salute.
King Jing strode in and raised his hand to hold her, "There are no outsiders here now, so there's no need to be so polite."
Xie Run smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Having said that, he stood up and sat down by himself.
Trying these two cases today was like having two fights with others. He felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and Xie Run no longer had the energy to put on a smile to please King Jing.
King Jing sat down, took the tea handed to him by the maid, took a big sip, and then said, "Sui Sui is so impressive today that even I am a little intimidated. I feel that I have underestimated you in the past."
The smile on Xie Run's face slowly disappeared, and his tone became heavier: "Your Highness did not look down on me, you only looked down on a mother."
King Jing was stunned.
I couldn't help but think of the scene when Xie Run coldly asked Concubine Fang whether she dared to swear.
Although he had no expression on his face, he looked as if he wanted to grind Fang Yuaner into dust and tear her to pieces alive.
At that time, King Jing only felt that Xie Run was strange and cold, as if he had become a different person.
Now that I think about it, this is also the case when a mother animal protects her cubs.
This scene brought back a long-lost memory for King Jing.
Prince Jing has always disliked Concubine Rou for her affectation, hypocrisy and indifference, and for treating her children as a tool to climb the social ladder.
But in fact, Concubine Rou also had maternal tenderness, but it was not towards him.
When Prince Su was thirteen years old, he was forced to fall into the water and his head hit a rock, leaving him unconscious.
At that time, in order to find out the real culprit, Concubine Rou fought with Concubine Chen in front of the emperor. Later, she threw a tantrum in public and cried heartbreakingly...
As far as Prince Jing could remember, this was the only time he saw Concubine Rou lose her composure like this.
Xie Run's gentle voice rang out beside Prince Jing's ears: "If it was me who was murdered today, I would be willing to hand everything over to His Majesty and His Majesty, and wait for His Majesty and His Majesty to slowly find the real culprit."
"But the victim is Taotao... He is still so young and so fragile. Just the slightest storm will take him away from me."
As he spoke, tears welled up in Xie Run's eyes.
"Your Highness has been busy these past few days and hasn't seen Taotao crying day and night, but I hear it every day and feel like someone is tearing my heart out."
"He was in pain, but he couldn't speak, so he could only cry loudly. I wished I could take his place... I coaxed him so much that he finally got back to his senses. But the next day, he refused to eat or drink, and cried as usual at night. I cried until my voice was hoarse and my face was covered in tears before I fell asleep."
Before he knew it, Xie Run was already in tears.
"Sometimes I don't dare to think about whether he fell asleep because he was tired from crying, or fell asleep because he was uncomfortable."
Although King Jing is cold-hearted, he is still a human being and has the responsibilities and obligations of a father.
Hearing Xie Run telling about the suffering Taotao had endured these days, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed with needles and felt extremely uncomfortable.
If he is like this, what about Xie Run who has always been with Taotao?
King Jing's expression softened considerably, and he held Xie Run's hand. "Don't worry, I won't let you and your son suffer in vain."
Xie Run held King Jing's hand with his backhand, his peach blossom eyes full of water and trust.
"My Lord, I believe you!"
"As long as you make the decision, I will follow it."
Xie Run confessed, "I am indeed very angry today."
"The evidence is irrefutable, yet Concubine Fang refuses to plead guilty and even wants to leave in style."
"Even though Your Highness has been upholding justice in the court, Concubine Fang remains arrogant and domineering, speaking freely in front of me and even blaming me for my poor care, which led to the child being harmed!"
"She murdered my child, and instead of feeling the slightest bit of shame, she comes to blame me!"
Xie Run cried softly and complained, "Your Majesty, how can there be such an unreasonable person in this world?"
And Fang Yuan'er dared to be so unreasonable, wasn't it because she relied on King Jing's favor and thought that King Jing would support her?!
After hearing this, King Jing felt sorry for Xie Run, but also felt a little guilty.
He raised his hand to wipe Xie Run's tears, "You're right, Fang is indeed too presumptuous!"
Xie Run sneered, "I only hope that Concubine Fang will always take good care of the Third Young Master, otherwise I will have to return these words to her sooner or later!"
