Chapter 217 A fight broke out in the main courtyard
"Please spare me, my lord! Please spare me, my lord! I know nothing!"
King Rui did not stop, and said,
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her die. Wait for me to come back."
“Yes…yes. Your Majesty.”
Linghua and Binghua quickly replied tremblingly.
With his head bowed, he secretly watched Prince Rui walk quickly out of the gate of Lanyuan out of the corner of his eyes.
After a long while, the two men finally stood up straight, patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
After looking at each other, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, got up, supported each other and walked into the house.
*
After two screams of "Ah ah?", the two maids were so scared that they covered their mouths in panic.
In the middle of the room, Concubine Yin was seen lying in a pool of blood without a single piece of clothing on her body. Blood was still oozing out of her forehead, and her face was so red and swollen that she looked unrecognizable.
His body was covered with bruises and there wasn't a single piece of healthy skin. It was obvious that he wasn't favored but was beaten severely.
How could they not understand the screams in the room just now? !
But it was the first time for the two men to see such a tragic end for a woman after consummating her marriage.
"Ling...Linghua, what...what should we do?"
The maid Binghua was so scared that she grabbed Linghua's arm.
Linghua was still rational, and said tremblingly,
"Save...save him? What else can we do? Let's see if he's still breathing?
Didn’t the prince say to keep an eye on her? If she dies, we’ll both be skinned alive.”
"Oh, right."
After saying that, they both reached out to feel Yin Ruyi's breath. The weak breathing made the two maids breathe a sigh of relief.
"Put it on the bed."
"Oooo."
The two of them worked together to carry Yin Ruyi onto the bed.
*
Linghua wiped the sweat off her face and continued,
"Take good care of her. I will report to the princess and ask the palace doctor to come."
"Well, go quickly."
Linghua hurried to the main courtyard to report to the princess.
Binghua also regained her senses at this time.
She stayed and did not stay idle. She quickly took a towel and pressed it on Yin Ruyi's bleeding forehead, and then hurriedly put clothes on her.
While getting dressed, he kept talking to Yin Ruyi who was still unconscious.
"Look at you, weren't you very popular with the prince last night? My sister and I thought that if we followed you, we would never have to do odd jobs again.
Oh! Who would have thought. When you woke up one night, your fate was worse than those dozens of women we served before!
Look at you, you are still a concubine? What kind of fate is this? ! "
She looked at Concubine Yin, who had not a single piece of good skin on her body, and sighed deeply in fear.
**
Let's say,
Linghua ran towards the main courtyard like crazy, but was blocked by several maids from the masters of the various courtyards.
"Hey Linghua, why don't you just serve Concubine Yin properly? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I won't tell you any more. I'm going to the main courtyard first."
"Tsk! The master is favored, so the servant is also cocky?! Pah! Morality."
"That's right, look at how crazy she is, bah. She's still in the same position as us."
But Linghua ignored him and kept walking. Finally, she ran to the main courtyard out of breath.
However, he was stopped outside the door by the maid in the princess' room.
"You little idiot, have you learned all the rules? Why are you so flustered?"
"Good sister, please help me! I'm here to report to the princess, please send a court doctor to Lanyuan as soon as possible.
Go and check Concubine Yin's injuries. Excuse me, sister, can you tell her quickly?"
Linghua pleaded anxiously.
Hearing this, the princess's maidservant sternly refused.
"No, the prince is in the room! Your concubine Yin has just been favored, what kind of injury did she suffer? Tell her not to learn those inferior methods to compete for the princess' favor."
"No, no sister."
Before Linghua could finish her anxious words, she heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking in the main room.
Then came the princess’s scream of “Ah ...
The maids and old women in the yard were so frightened that they trembled all over.
*
Then, the prince's voice roared out even more frighteningly.
"Ding Bingcheng, can you swear that it wasn't you who did this?"
Princess Rui's voice trembled with anger, and she shouted even louder,
"I have never done it, why should I admit it? She is Yin Ruyi, absolutely genuine.
She looks the same now as she did when her mother sent her from the palace.
My Lord, I have followed you for so many years, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts.
Tell me, would I, Ding Bingcheng, be so cunning as to play tricks on a woman from such a small family with no background or support?"
*
When King Rui heard this, he was speechless for a moment. He threw his sleeves fiercely.
"You? You better not have such evil intentions. I will go to the palace to see my mother right now. If this is really your trick, then you can be divorced!"
"What? Your Majesty! What did you say? Who on earth is that Yin Ruyi that made you so furious?
I have already given birth to two children for you, including the one in my belly. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard.
You actually said you want to divorce, you? You? ... Ouch... Ouch, my stomach..."
Before Princess Rui could finish her angry words, Prince Rui had already kicked the door hard and disappeared.
*
Princess Rui was so angry that her hands and feet kept shaking, her blood was rushing up, and her vision was getting darker.
Suddenly, she felt a wet sensation coming from under her body, and her stomach began to ache.
She screamed, "Ah? Someone come!" and her eyes rolled back and she fainted from the pain.
Seeing Prince Rui leave, several maids and nannies who were driven out of the house by Prince Rui heard the screams of Princess Rui again, and they were so scared that they hurriedly ran into the house.
Immediately afterwards, even louder screams of “Ahhhhh” came from the main house.
"Oh, call the doctor, call the doctor quickly! Call the midwife, call the midwife first."
Mammy's voice.
"Princess? Princess, please wake up? Wake up?"
The maids' screams and the nannies' cries echoed over the main courtyard.
*
There was chaos in the main courtyard. Princess Ding was about to give birth prematurely after a quarrel with the prince.
The twenty or so concubines who came to the gate every day to pay their respects and get information were all startled when they heard such a big commotion in the main courtyard.
After hurriedly finding out the situation, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they dared not go in and get involved.
Everyone seemed to have held a unification meeting. They held the little maid's hand and ran back to their own courtyards.
Linghua in the main courtyard saw that something was wrong. Her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
She pressed hard on her chest which was heaving violently, and didn't dare to ask for help from the court doctor anymore. As if she was afraid of being taken out on by the doctor, she ran back to the Orchid Garden faster than a rabbit.
