A trace of contempt flashed in Mammy's eyes, and she turned and ordered, "Continue!"

"No! Ah——" Xie Chuxue's desperate scream resounded throughout the room, but was drowned out by the cold breathing of the palace maids.

After the nanny left with the group of ferocious palace maids, Xie Chuxue struggled to get up from the bed. She felt as if her whole body was falling apart and her abdomen was in unbearable pain.

She pointed with trembling fingers at the shivering Qinglian outside the door, "Quick, go get a doctor!"

Qinglian ran out in a panic, and soon returned to the room with an old doctor carrying a medicine box.

The doctor stepped forward to feel her pulse, his brow furrowing ever tighter. After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Madam, you just had a miscarriage. You're already weak, and you've taken a lot of infertility medication. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get pregnant in the future..."

"What did you say?!" Xie Chuxue grabbed the doctor's collar, her pale face now filled with ferocity. "Say it again!"

The doctor was frightened by Xie Chuxue's appearance and explained tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Seeing this, Qinglian quickly stepped forward and asked sternly, "You quack, since you say it's difficult, then it must be possible. Tell me quickly, what method do you have?!"

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Xie Chuxue cautiously, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, this... maybe the legendary Divine Doctor Li has a solution, but I really don't have any."

"Doctor Li?" Xie Chuxue repeated the name and suddenly felt that it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

"Your Majesty, isn't there a medical book written by Dr. Li in the Crown Princess's dowry?" Qinglian reminded quickly.

Xie Chuxue suddenly realized, yes, how could she have forgotten about this!

She suddenly turned her head to look at the doctor, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. Qinglian immediately understood and took a step forward, saying with a forced smile, "Doctor, please keep your mouth shut about what happened today, otherwise..."

The doctor looked at the murderous intent in Qinglian's eyes and was immediately frightened. He nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, young lady, I didn't see or hear anything!"

Qinglian nodded with satisfaction, sent the doctor to the door, then quickly closed the door, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed it into the doctor's heart without hesitation.

The doctor fell limply to the ground before he could even let out a scream. Qinglian handled the scene expressionlessly, then turned around and went back to the room.

At this moment, Ouyang Zheng walked in from the side door, slightly drunk, and happened to bump into Qinglian who was turning back.

His lustful eyes swept over Qinglian and he stopped her.

Qinglian lowered her head in fear: "My Lord, you are finally back. The princess has been looking forward to your return day and night these past few days."

Ouyang Zheng looked at Qinglian's panic, feeling even more proud. He grabbed Qinglian's chin and said frivolously, "Is it the princess who misses me, or is it you who misses me?"

Your Majesty, you are finally back. The princess has been looking forward to your return day and night these days.

Qinglian shuddered. This Princess Liu actually had her sights set on her! She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, even if Qinglian had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about you!"

Ouyang Zheng grabbed Qinglian's arm and pulled her up from the ground. His force was so great that Qinglian staggered and almost fell into his arms.

He reeked of alcohol, his eyes blurry, yet with a chilling sobriety. A playful smile played on his lips. "Don't think I don't know what you just did. Did the princess ask you to do it? I know this woman, Xie Chuxue, may appear gentle and weak on the outside, but she's actually full of evil intentions. She's far worse than her sister!"

Qinglian was so scared that her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she could hardly stand.

"Your Highness, please spare my life, Princess..." Qinglian wanted to explain with a trembling voice, but was interrupted impatiently by Ouyang Zheng.

"Don't mention that woman to me!" Ouyang Zheng took a step closer, almost face to face with Qinglian. His hot breath sprayed on her face, making her even more flustered. "If you obey me today, I will pretend that I saw nothing. Otherwise..."

He deliberately prolonged the ending tone, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, making Qinglian feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

At this moment, a weak voice came from the room, "Prince, what did you say?"

Xie Chuxue held onto the door frame, her face as pale as paper, but she forced herself to muster a bit of strength and walked out.

She heard Ouyang Zheng's words and saw the desire in his eyes, and her heart suddenly turned cold.

When Ouyang Zheng saw Xie Chuxue, instead of restraining himself, he burst into laughter. He put his arm around Qinglian's shoulders and looked at Xie Chuxue provocatively, "Did I say anything wrong? Huh?"

After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and kissed Qinglian hard on the cheek.

"Ugh..." Qinglian screamed and tried to struggle, but Ouyang Zheng held her tightly in his arms.

Xie Chuxue looked at the scene in front of her and felt a surge of anger rushing from the bottom of her heart to her forehead, but she swallowed her anger back.

She knew that now was not the time to act on impulse. Facing a man like Ouyang Zheng, the more she resisted, the more excited he would become.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly, "Your Highness, you are drunk. Qinglian, help Your Highness go down to rest."

Qinglian was as if she had been pardoned when she heard this. She hurriedly tried to push Ouyang Zheng away, but he grabbed her and said frivolously, "What's wrong? Are you jealous, Princess?"

Xie Chuxue looked at him coldly and said word by word, "Your Highness, you are joking. It is Qinglian's duty to serve Your Highness on my behalf."

Ouyang Zheng smiled with satisfaction, gave Xie Chuxue a "knowing" look, and then let go of Qinglian.

Qinglian walked tremblingly to Xie Chuxue, lowered her head, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Princess, I don't want to..."

"Shut up!" Xie Chuxue interrupted her harshly, staring at her fiercely, "It's your honor to serve the prince, why don't you get off now!"

Qinglian was frightened by Xie Chuxue's eyes and trembled. She didn't dare to say anything. She could only obey and support Ouyang Zheng and walked into the room.

Xie Chuxue looked at the closed door, a cold glint in her eyes.

With Ouyang Zheng's character, can he really become a king in the future?

In her previous life, she was in the tower and did not hear all the rumors from the outside world. Perhaps there were other noble people who helped her.

Now she must find that noble person as soon as possible. As for letting Qinglian serve Ouyang Zheng, it is also a temporary measure.

Qinglian is hers. If she really can't get pregnant, perhaps she can use her belly to give birth to a legitimate child. This is a way out she leaves for herself.

"That cheap girl Qinglian got such a good deal!" Xie Chuxue murmured in a low voice, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
