In Prince Xing's palace.
After Gu Youyan found out that Xinghua was not favored by Long Jun, she slapped Xinghua hard on the face and cursed, "You useless thing! You can't even do such a small thing. What's the use of you?"
Xinghua covered her burning, painful cheek and knelt on the ground tremblingly. Although she hated Gu Youyan, she had to apologize at this moment: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's my fault for not doing my job well. I promise that I will succeed next time."
Hearing Xinghua say this, Gu Youyan calmed down and helped Xinghua up herself. "Does it hurt?"
Xinghua quickly shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
Gu Youyan said with a distressed look on her face: "Don't blame me for being cruel. Given our current situation, if you don't get the prince's mercy, our future will be very difficult."
Xinghua nodded, "I know, I will definitely work hard."
Gu Youyan nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, go down and let the court doctor take a look at your face, otherwise it will be bad if it gets swollen."
"Yes."
Xinghua lowered her head and walked out of the house.
She had never felt such humiliation before, and she decided to go find her eldest daughter tonight.
At this time, Long Jun had already left the city and arrived at his farm outside the city.
He went straight to Luo Zhiyao's room.
Luo Zhiyao was making small clothes at this time. When she saw Long Jun, she said lightly, "You're here?"
Long Jun sat on the chair, took a look at her belly, let out a sigh, then stared at her face and said, "I want to hear your explanation."
Luo Zhiyao chuckled, "What do you want to explain?"
"Explain why you want to sue my royal brother? Am I not good enough to you? Yes, he did something wrong to the Luo family, but what can you gain by bringing him down?" Long Jun asked in a deep voice.
Luo Zhiyao burst into laughter when she heard this, and as she laughed, tears came down her face.
"You actually come to ask me why I sued him? And you ask what I can gain by suing him?"
Luo Zhiyao stood up suddenly, staring at Long Jun with red eyes, and shouted: "Because he caused the deaths of 18 members of my Luo family. Did you know? My brother's child had just been born at that time?
What does a newborn child know? Your father, the emperor, sentenced him to death. Just because my father was the Minister of Revenue, and the food and fodder sent to the border disappeared, our entire Luo family was executed? Even the hungry children were not spared?
Now that I know who is behind this, why don't I sue him?"
Long Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ever since he promised Luo Zhiyao to investigate her father's case for her, he had been afraid that she would know about it, and in the end, she found out.
Seeing that Long Jun didn't say anything, Luo Zhiyao said coldly: "Didn't you ask me what I can get?
Then I tell you now, if he dies, I can comfort the 18 souls of my Luo family in heaven..."
At this point, she smiled sadly, "Unfortunately, even though I reported him, the emperor still spared his life and only stripped him of his title of crown prince. Haha, how ironic."
"..."
"None of you royal family members are good, including you. You are all hypocrites. I, Luo Zhiyao, am blind to fall in love with a hypocrite like you. Bah..." As she said that, she spat in Long Jun's face and cursed him viciously.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap hit Luo Zhiyao on the cheek, and Luo Zhiyao was directly knocked to the ground.
She groaned, covered her stomach with her hands, and panic appeared on her face.
Long Jun looked at Luo Zhiyao lying on the ground angrily. When he was about to curse, he saw Luo Zhiyao's face full of pain and a pool of blood flowing from under her body.
He suddenly regained consciousness and shouted, "Come, call the doctor!"
As he said this, he bent down and prepared to pick up Luo Zhiyao, but was disgusted and said: "Get out, you are not worthy of touching me!"
Long Jun's face suddenly turned red, and he punched the table in anger. He had never been insulted like this before. If she wasn't pregnant, he would have killed her.
So, Long Jun stopped holding her and called two maids to help her to the bed.
Soon, Qingshan brought the doctor over, along with two midwives. One of the midwives looked a little panicked when she saw Luo Zhiyao bleeding from her lower body.
"Hurry, show her the baby. We must save the child." Long Jun said to the doctor, "Otherwise, I will kill you."
Luo Zhiyao was already sweating profusely from the pain, but she still said sarcastically, "You only have this much ability, so even the child doesn't want to recognize you as a father."
"Shut up." Long Jun shouted.
This might be the only child he has in his life, so nothing can happen to him.
The doctor didn't dare to delay and quickly took Luo Zhiyao's pulse. Then, with a look of horror, he said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid Madam's pregnancy is not going to be saved!"
"What do you mean?" Long Jun stared at the doctor grimly.
"Madam has been feeling depressed for a while now, and the fetus is unstable. There were already signs of miscarriage, and now there's bleeding..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, his body trembling as he continued, "Also, I've detected that Madam's pulse seems to indicate poisoning, but the toxicity is not severe and is not immediately apparent. So, this child..."
Having said this, he didn't dare to continue.
"How could he be poisoned? Who is so bold as to harm my child?" Long Jun roared, "Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me. If you can't find the truth, you will all die."
Luo Zhiyao didn't expect that she was poisoned. Although she hated the royal family, the child in her belly was also her flesh and blood. She had never thought of abandoning her. After all, this was her only relative in this world.
The midwife standing by was sweating profusely and her face was pale with fear.
Qingshan took the order and went to investigate, and soon found out that it was one of the midwives who did it.
Long Jun kicked the midwife away and roared through gritted teeth, "How dare you harm my child? You're courting death."
After being kicked aside, the midwife quickly got up and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. Yes, it was the Concubine who asked me to do it. The Concubine told me to give Madam the abortion drug."
Before Long Jun could say anything else, she completely betrayed Gu Youyan.
Luo Zhiyao had been leaning weakly on the bed, but after hearing this, she burst into laughter like a madman, "Retribution... This is retribution..."
At this time, more blood was flowing from her lower body. The doctor said tremblingly, "Your Highness, Madam must have an induced labor immediately, otherwise her life will be in danger." The doctor said tremblingly.
Long Jun was stunned for a moment. He could not accept this result at all.
"No, you must protect both adults and children for me, otherwise I will kill you."
Upon hearing this, the doctor knelt down before Long Jun and said, "It's not that I can't save you, it's just that I can't do it~"
"At this moment, I can no longer feel the fetus' heartbeat."
Long Jun was completely stunned this time. He didn't believe it and reached out tremblingly to touch Luo Zhiyao's belly. However, when he was about to touch her belly, he pulled his hand back and said in a depressed voice, "It's leaking."
After he finished speaking, his body seemed to lose strength and he almost fell down.
"Master!" Qingshan quickly stepped forward and supported Long Jun.
Long Jun finally stood up straight, looked at the midwife who was kneeling there, too frightened to speak, and said coldly: "Take her and return to the city."
Prince Jing's Mansion at this time.
Gu Lingyue slept until the evening before waking up.
When she opened her eyes, a handsome monk appeared in front of her. He looked at her gently and whispered, "Wake up~"
Gu Lingyue was momentarily attracted by his appearance and involuntarily raised her hand towards his face, muttering to herself, "Monster!"
