"Princess, I..."
"Just take it. Don't be so polite with me." Mu Fengqie saw her intention to decline and directly cut her off.
Miss Chen pursed her lips, stood up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed seriously to Mu Fengqie. "I'll never forget the princess's great kindness."
"What are you doing? Get up quickly. If you really manage to deal with Lord Chen, you'll be doing us a great favor. We should be thanking you."
Mu Fengqie stood up and quickly helped her up. Actually, they had never seen eye to eye with Lord Chen, and his downfall would suit her just fine.
The two chatted in the room for a long time before Miss Chen left. As she was leaving, Mu Fengqie deliberately said loudly to remind her.
"You'd better stop eating spicy food. Otherwise, it'll be even harder for your throat to recover."
"Got it, I know." Miss Chen replied impatiently, then pushed open the door and left with the maids outside. No one suspected what Miss Chen and Mu Fengqie had talked about.
"A Da, go and find out why Miss Chen the Second entered the palace and what she has been doing since then." Mu Fengqie said.
Originally, she didn't want to bother with this Miss Chen the Second. But as Miss Chen was leaving, she wrote a few words on the table with tea: "Beware of Miss Chen the Second."
This made Mu Fengqie start to pay attention to Miss Chen the Second. She remembered that this woman used to be one of Jing Xinche's admirers. Damn it! Why did she have to deal with his messy love affairs!
"Forget it, A Da. Don't go. Let Jing Xinche handle it himself. If he can't solve this properly, he can just wait to kneel on the washboard!" The more Mu Fengqie thought about it, the angrier she got. She sent A Da to deliver a message to Jing Xinche.
Jing Xinche was stunned when he first heard the message. Who was this Miss Chen the Second that Qie'er was talking about? He couldn't remember such a person. It was only after A Da's reminder that he recalled that this was the woman who had once angered Qie'er and he had given her to a fool.
He never expected that this woman would enter the palace and even try to deal with Qie'er. She really didn't value her own life. Who on earth gave her the courage and confidence?
After learning about the whole thing, Jing Xinche sent people to investigate. The result of the investigation surprised him. He never thought that Miss Chen the Second was so stupid. Since entering the palace, except for the night when she served the emperor on the first day, she hadn't seen the emperor again.
With such low intelligence, she still wanted to deal with Qie'er? She'd better think about how to survive first.
Jing Xinche personally brought the information he had found to Mu Fengqie. "Qie'er, don't worry. I've already sent people to keep an eye on that Miss Chen the Second. She won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Humph! I hope so." Mu Fengqie's temper was getting more and more irritable. She was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
One day, while Jing Xinche was coaxing Mu Fengqie to eat, Yuan Yuhan's subordinate rushed in in a hurry, not even bothering with the proper etiquette.
"Princess, it's bad. Our princess consort has given premature birth, and the midwife said she's having difficulty giving birth. The prince sent me to find you." The guard was sweating all over from running, but he didn't even catch his breath while speaking, for fear that if he wasted a single minute, the princess consort would be in danger.
"What did you say? Why didn't you come and find me earlier? What is Yuan Yuhan doing?" Mu Fengqie suddenly stood up, scaring Jing Xinche so much that his face turned pale. He carefully protected her.
Mu Fengqie didn't care about anything now. She directly grabbed the things she had prepared for A Ru in advance and rushed out in a hurry.
"Qie'er, slow down." Jing Xinche quickly chased after her. Seeing Mu Fengqie running without caring about her own body, he suddenly picked her up in his arms and used his lightness kung fu to fly over.
When Mu Fengqie arrived, Yuan Yuhan was pacing back and forth outside the courtyard. If it weren't for the guards at the door, he would have rushed in already. Hearing A Ru's painful cries, his heart was wrenched.
When he saw Mu Fengqie coming, he strode over. "You're finally here. Today, when A Ru was out for a walk, she tripped over a stone. The midwife is inside now. She said the situation is very bad. You must help me save A Ru when you go in."
Hearing Yuan Yuhan's words, Mu Fengqie suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at Yuan Yuhan sharply with her eyes. "I'm asking you. If you can only save either the mother or the child, which one would you choose?"
"Save A Ru." Yuan Yuhan blurted out without even thinking.
Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuhan with satisfaction and said nothing. She then walked in. This was the moment that could truly show Yuan Yuhan's feelings for A Ru. Fortunately, Yuan Yuhan didn't disappoint her.
When Mu Fengqie entered, A Ru was already a bit exhausted. When she saw Mu Fengqie, A Ru weakly called out "Sister A."
"Don't worry. I'll definitely ensure the safety of you and your child." Mu Fengqie quickly examined A Ru's body. Fortunately, thanks to Yuan Yuhan's meticulous care, A Ru's body had improved a lot.
It was just that the baby was too big, and A Ru's pelvis was a bit small. Moreover, she was now a bit exhausted, which was why the situation had become like this.
Just as Mu Fengqie was about to start, a midwife walked over and suddenly pushed Mu Fengqie aside. "Who are you? Do you know who the person on the bed is and you just barge in!"
It was no wonder she didn't know. Just then, she had gone out to fetch hot water, so she had just missed what had happened when Mu Fengqie entered.
Mu Fengqie looked sharply at the midwife who had just spoken. Seeing that her eyes were shifting uneasily, it was obvious that she was feeling guilty. Mu Fengqie immediately became suspicious.
"And who are you? I've never seen you before." Mu Fengqie looked at the midwife and asked. She just wanted to test her, but unexpectedly, she actually got something out of it.
Seeing the midwife stuttering, Mu Fengqie didn't hesitate. She directly grabbed her and threw her out, and also drove out the others in the room.
"Yuan Yuhan, there's something wrong with some of these people, especially the one just now." After saying that, Mu Fengqie closed the door.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the people who had been thrown out on the ground with a dark and angry expression. The people lying on the ground were shivering, not to mention the midwife who had talked to Mu Fengqie just now.
"Come here. Keep a good watch on these people. After the princess consort gives birth, I'll settle the score with you." Although Yuan Yuhan was extremely angry now, he still didn't dare to leave. What if there was an accident?
Mu Fengqie helped A Ru sit up and fed her something to eat. After she had regained some strength, Mu Fengqie guided her to start pushing again. It was obvious that those midwives just now hadn't been properly assisting A Ru in giving birth.
Fortunately, this time it went relatively smoothly.
