Chapter 244 No Longer Helping in the Fight for the 5th Princess 20
Seeing that the other party acted very innocently, Xu Tao wanted to slap him, but she shouldn't interfere in her fourth sister's family affairs. She just needed to ensure her fourth sister's personal safety.
Seeing his wife's sad look, his best friend's ambiguous smile, and his fifth sister's fiery gaze, the slow-witted Luo Haoheng finally understood what his wife meant, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"He's a man."
Now it was the turn of the Xu Tao sisters to be dumbfounded. After a closer look, they found that the skin was delicate and fair, there was no stubble on the face, and there was no Adam's apple in the throat.
She speaks softly and acts coquettishly, making it hard to believe that she is a man.
"Luo Chen, please explain quickly. An Rou is pregnant."
The fourth princess is now five months pregnant, but her dress is loose and her pregnancy is not obvious. In addition, he just returned to the imperial capital yesterday, so Luo Chen really didn't realize that she was pregnant.
After knowing this, he quickly straightened his body, tore off his disguise, and bowed respectfully: "Luo Chen greets Princess Anrou Anning."
"Wow, this is amazing."
Xu Tao came closer, her disguise skills were quite good, "Can I touch it?"
I got permission to touch it, and it's no different from real leather. Could it be...
Luo Chen saw through the other party's suspicion and explained, "I won't do anything so cruel and crazy as that."
After some scientific popularization, the two sisters understood and became very interested. They chatted with each other for the whole afternoon. Naturally, they understood Luo Chen's life experience and their eyes were filled with sympathy.
"How about we avenge you?"
Luo Chen shook his head. He wanted to go back and find out about his scumbag father and stepmother in person. They had cruelly poisoned his mother and sister and wanted to kill him. He would never let them have an easy time.
Luo Haoheng sighed. He understood his friend's concern and thought it would be better for him to resolve the matter himself.
Xu Tao knew that he would need a large sum of money after returning, and she also wanted to stock up on some masks, so she spent tens of thousands of taels to buy them.
It was getting late, and everyone was going home. Xu Tao had just arrived at the door when she ran into Pipa, who had hurried over. She didn't even have time to greet her, and her voice was filled with tears, "Princess, please go back and see the queen."
Xu Tao's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly ordered the carriage to rush to the palace immediately.
When he arrived at the palace gate, he didn't care about the rules and immediately rushed to Yunhua Palace. Seeing his mother lying unconscious and pale on the bed, he reached out his hand tremblingly to feel her breath to make sure she was still breathing and calmed down.
"what happened?"
"The Empress accompanied the Ninth Princess to play in the Imperial Garden today. The Fifteenth Prince accidentally bumped into the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess refused to let go. The Empress heard the commotion and went to investigate. The Ninth Princess somehow pushed the Empress, and the Empress accidentally hit her forehead on a stone and fell unconscious."
With a backbone, Pipa couldn't help but shed tears, blaming herself for not protecting her master.
"You guys go out first."
Xu Tao asked all the palace servants to go out, removed the gauze on her mother's head, took out the spiritual spring water from the space, carefully scrubbed it, then fed her some more spiritual spring water and wrapped it up again.
"Wuwuwu, this prince wants to see my mother, you bad guys, let me go."
Xu Xiao struggled hard. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time. His mother had lost a lot of blood. He wanted his mother.
"Let Xiao'er come in."
The little guy ran in and cried even harder when he saw his sister, "Wow, I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't have argued with Ninth Sister, Mother..."
Wen Yurui woke up to hear her son crying and tried to comfort him: "Xiao'er... don't cry."
"Mother concubine."
"mother!"
Two surprised voices were heard. Wen Yurui saw that her daughter was a little dazed and thought she was dreaming. It was not until she touched the warm hands that she realized that her daughter was really there.
Perhaps because he was weak from the injury, he held his daughter's hand and quietly enjoyed a moment of tenderness.
"The Emperor has arrived.
"Mother, you are pretending to be unconscious."
Wen Yurui understood what her daughter meant and closed her eyes and lay quietly.
Xu Tao also made an agreement with the four-year-old kid. Although the kid didn't understand, he was still quite smart and cried for his mother.
When Emperor Xuan Jin entered the room, he saw his two children with red eyes and Concubine Shu lying on the bed, her life or death unknown. His brows furrowed deeply.
"Where's the imperial physician? What are you doing? And call that evil creature over here!"
Doctor Zhou had been waiting outside. Upon hearing the emperor's summons, he immediately knelt down and apologized: "Your humble servant has seen..."
"Okay, how about Concubine Shu?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Shu has hit her head and is unconscious. The blood clot in her brain is blocking her consciousness and I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up in a short time."
"When will you wake up?"
"This... I am a humble official with limited knowledge and talent, and I cannot..."
Halfway through his words, a teacup fell to the ground and Doctor Zhou kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Xu Tao knew that Imperial Physician Zhou was a good person, and couldn't bear to make things difficult for him at his old age, so he walked forward and attracted the attention of Emperor Xuan Jin.
"An Ning, why did you come in today?"
Xu Tao wanted to say something sarcastic, but seeing the man's increasingly aged face, his words died in his throat. The world was in turmoil right now, and he wasn't having an easy time either. He probably just finished discussing government affairs with the ministers.
Coincidentally, Wei Ming also came in with the trembling Ninth Princess. Xu Tao went up and kicked him to the ground, then raised his foot and kicked him.
"Ahh! Father...help me, Father...save me."
The Ninth Princess rolled on the ground, protecting her face. Her personal maid wanted to step forward, but Yingchun Qiuguo held her down. The people in the palace watched coldly.
The queen, who had arrived late, saw this scene and shouted loudly: "An Ning, stop!"
She signaled to the maids around her to come forward and stop them. Xu Tao's lips curled slightly, just in time to settle the score.
As he said this, he pulled out the whip from his waist and lashed it wildly. If the queen hadn't had someone protecting her, she would have been whipped a few times as well. She kept shouting, "How outrageous!"
Emperor Xuan Jin saw that his daughter had almost let out her anger, so he ordered someone to end the farce.
The Queen's hair was messy and her clothes were covered in dust. She couldn't suppress her anger and her face was twisted. "Your Majesty, An Ning has no respect for her elders and no respect for me. I beg you to punish An Ning."
After saying this, she knelt straight down. The Ninth Princess, who still had a few breaths left, crawled over and cried out, "Father, your son... your son just... accidentally pushed the Concubine Shu, your son..."
The Ninth Princess couldn't continue speaking because she was kicked unconscious.
The Queen's eyes were filled with fear. An Ning was absolutely crazy. She actually dared to commit a crime in front of the Emperor.
"Okay, Queen, please step back."
Only after the queen was dragged out did she realize that the emperor was really senile and actually allowed his daughter to beat her stepmother. She had to spread this matter.
"Father, please forgive me."
"Your temper has gotten worse since you got married. If you behave like this again next time, your father will really punish you."
Emperor Xuan Jin still had a fatherly heart towards his daughter whom he had raised, and ordered Wei Ming to clean up the mess.
He stayed in Yunhua Palace for another half an hour. All the imperial doctors had similar opinions after the consultation. He still had some memorials to read, so he went back first.
After everyone left, there were only three people left in the hall. Xu Tao hurriedly woke up his mother, saying that since she hadn't eaten, she must be hungry.
Wen Yurui took the cake and ate a few pieces before stopping. The little guy was probably frightened, and stayed listlessly in his mother's arms, holding him tightly.
"An Ning, go see your mother, Concubine Xie."
