Xiao Zi was so frightened that her face turned pale in an instant. She covered her bleeding arm and fell to her knees.

"County Lady, I know I was wrong... I will not serve in the Princess's courtyard. I am loyal to you..."

Xu Qingqing looked down at Xiao Zi who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, a hint of contempt in her eyes.

As expected, she is a servant who serves others, and her knees are very weak.

But she still felt unsatisfied, so she kicked Xiao Zi hard on her bleeding arm.

"Ah!!" Xiao Zi couldn't keep her balance and fell directly onto the broken porcelain pieces that had not been cleaned up yet.

The sharp porcelain pieces cut Xiao Zi's hand, making her already pale face even more painful.

Xu Qingqing snorted coldly and turned around to sit on the chair: "This is the punishment for your nonsense, get out!"

Xiao Zi endured the severe pain in her hands and arms and staggered out of the house.

Only Xu Qingqing was left sitting on the chair with a vicious look on her face.

The princess is pregnant, which is not good news for her.

She held the handrail tightly. If the princess gave birth to the child safely, then she, Xu Qingqing, would have no place to stay in Xiaoyao Palace.

Xu Qingqing lowered her eyebrows, her heart in a mess.

Suddenly, the words her mother said inadvertently when she was alive suddenly emerged in her mind.

In order to prevent their concubines from giving birth, the ladies in the palace and the ladies in the harem would usually add a colorless and tasteless abortion drug to their meals...

Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. Fortunately, she still remembered the name of the abortion pill. She immediately had an idea.

She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to let Princess Xiaoyao be happy for a few days. She would teach this bitch a lesson when she was released from house arrest!

...

When Xiao Baozhu opened her eyes again, she felt like she was in an embrace that gave her a sense of security.

She yawned, looked up, and saw that she was being held by a bearded old man.

"Wow?" Xiao Baozhu grabbed the old man's beard with some curiosity, looking at the person in front of her with her big clear eyes.

The Duke of Zhenguo noticed that his granddaughter in his arms had woken up. He looked down and met Xiao Baozhu's clear eyes.

"Zhuzhu, are you awake? I am your grandfather~" The Duke of Zhenguo has been stationed at the border for many years and is very serious. At this moment, he was trying hard to make a smile appear on his face.

Is this my grandfather? Xiao Baozhu raised her arm and greeted the Duke of Zhenguo.

The Duke of Zhenguo was extremely happy. His little granddaughter was indeed as smart and clever as the rumors said.

"Hahahaha... Madam Qing'er, come and see, Zhuzhu greeted me... Hahaha, cough cough cough..." The Duke Zhenguo was so excited that he started coughing.

He felt something was wrong, and held back his cough as he handed the milk ball to the Duke's wife beside him.

Then he covered his mouth with his hands and kept coughing.

Jiang Wanqing looked worried: "Father, what happened to you?"

The Duke of Zhenguo tried his best to suppress the urge to cough. He waved his hands and said, "It's okay... This is an old problem... cough cough cough... Qing'er, don't worry, cough cough cough..."

Xiao Baozhu also looked at her grandfather with a worried look on her face. The moment the Duke of Zhenguo put down his hand, Xiao Baozhu saw blood between his fingers.

Xiao Baozhu was shocked. She stretched out her little finger and pointed at the Duke of Zhenguo's hand and screamed.

Oh my God, grandpa is still okay even after vomiting blood?

Jiang Wanqing looked in the direction of the little girl's finger, and her expression changed when she saw the blood flowing from between the fingers of the Duke of Zhenguo.

She suddenly stood up from the chair, walked quickly to the Duke of Zhenguo and forcefully pried his hands apart.

I saw that my palm was covered with bright red blood!

Jiang Wanqing's eyes suddenly became watery, and she choked up a little as she spoke: "Father, you...what happened to you?"

Without waiting for the Duke of Zhenguo to answer, she turned to look at Suyun beside her and said, "Suyun, go ask the imperial physician to treat father!"

Just as Su Yun was about to turn around and leave, Zhenguo Gong stopped her: "No need! All of you go down, Qing'er and I have something to talk about!"

Jiang Wanqing suddenly felt uneasy. Ever since she could remember, her father had been stationed at the border. Although he was usually serious, he had never looked as serious as he did today...

It was like... like he wanted to tell her about his final affairs!

"Mother, what happened to father?" Jiang Wanqing shifted her gaze to the Duke's wife who was secretly wiping her tears aside.

Before she could speak, the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly said, "I didn't want to tell you this, but now that you have seen it, I won't hide it from you... I don't have much time left, and my only wish is to come back and see you and Zhuzhu before I die... That way I can leave with peace of mind..."

Jiang Wanqing was struck by lightning when she heard this. She staggered back two steps, her big tearful eyes full of disbelief.

She looked at her mother beside her, wanting to hear a rebuttal from her, but the Duke's wife just wiped her tears and nodded gently to her.

Jiang Wanqing closed her eyes, hoping that all this was just a dream.

Mingming's father and mother had returned to Beijing from the frontier, and she came back happily to visit her family. At the happiest moment, she learned the cruelest truth.

When the Duke of Zhenguo saw his daughter in so much pain, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

The tall and strong man never frowned no matter how badly he was injured in the past, but now his eyes were red.

"Qing'er, your father only wishes you well! After your father is gone, if there is nothing going on in the palace, you can come back often to see your mother..."

Before the Duke of Zhenguo could finish his words, Jiang Wanqing beside him had already burst into tears.

Xiao Baozhu felt that if she didn't say anything at this moment, her mother and grandmother would probably faint from crying.

She stretched out her little hand and tightly grasped the Duke's wife's collar: "Wow wow wow..."

Don't cry, grandmother, I have a way. I can cure grandfather's illness...

When the Duke's wife saw the tender pink baby in her arms, she wiped her tears and said softly, "You scared Zhuzhu~ Okay, don't cry, Zhuzhu is still here~"

Seeing that the Duke's wife didn't understand what she meant, Xiao Baozhu turned around and stretched out her little hand to wave at Jiang Wanqing.

Queen Mother, look at the child...

Xiao Baozhu waved her arms for a long time, but failed to bring Jiang Wanqing, who was in pain, back to her senses.

Naituanzi sighed softly, and then activated his healing ability in front of several people.

The Duke's wife noticed that the crescent moon on Naituanzi's wrist was glowing with a faint green light. She couldn't help but stare at the green crescent moon in shock with her eyes wide open.

Xiao Baozhu didn't have time to care about anything else at the moment. She focused on mobilizing the healing ability in her body, and a ball of green light mist gradually appeared in the palm of her hand.

The green mist gathered more and more in her palm, and Xiao Baozhu controlled the green mist to fly towards the Duke of Zhenguo who was sitting beside her.

Jiang Wanqing also noticed the green light mist in the little girl's palm at this time. She was so shocked that she forgot to cry.

Several people watched as the green light mist penetrated into the exposed skin of the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo had never seen such a scene in all his years.

His body was stiff and he dared not move, for fear of disturbing his granddaughter's practice...
