After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

Cao Shang lay in Xue Xinian's arms.

"Quickly, carry the princess to the east wing! This servant will fetch a doctor to treat her immediately!"

Xue Xinian picked up Cao Shang and headed towards the east wing.

After the doctor examined her, he said to Xue Xinian, "Lord Xue, the princess's child cannot be saved."

"Doctor, are you serious? Our baby is gone!" Xue Xinian said in disbelief.

"Please accept our condolences. The princess and Lord Xue are still young. Once they recover, they can have another child!"

Xue Xinian felt as if his soul had been ripped out; he went into the room to look at Cao Shang.

"Shang'er, how are you?"

"Xue Lang, how is our child?!"

Cao Shang held Xue Xinian's hand, and the two nestled close together.

"The doctor said we're still young and will have more!"

Cao Shang burst into tears, "Why did this happen! My sister pushed me! My sister is so cruel."

Everyone looked at Cao Yuan and whispered among themselves.

"This, Your Highness Prince Shuo, how can you not even spare your own sister?"

"I heard that after His Majesty bestowed the marriage, he ordered Prince Shuo to divorce, but Prince Shuo absolutely refused!"

"This is too vicious. They don't even spare the baby in the womb."

Fan Qingli, the eldest son of Minister Fan, said, "Your Highness, if you can't even tolerate the child in the princess's womb, how can you manage the Ministry of War!"

"Shut up! Do you want to commit insubordination?"

Fan Qingli said, "Father, the Prince has committed such evil deeds in the Minister's residence. We should report this to His Majesty and he must be severely punished."

Minister Fan said, "Nonsense! The most important thing now is the princess's health!"

“Your Highness committed violence in my Minister’s residence and should be held accountable!” Fan Qingli said again.

"I can explain what I did, but don't try to frame me for what I didn't do."

Cao Yuan turned around and came out of the house.

At the end of the corridor, Cao Yuan saw Xue Xiqiong walking by and chased after her.

Xue Xiqiong walked to the back door and spoke with the doctor she had just spoken to.

Xue Xiqiong gave the doctor a large bag of gold, saying, "Did you remember what I said?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Xue Xiqiong!" Cao Yuan called out from behind.

As soon as Xue Xiqiong turned around, she was knocked down by Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan dragged the two into the house.

"Sister!" Xue Xinian went over and helped Xue Xiqiong up.

"What's wrong with Ah Yuan?!"

"Then you should ask your concubine! What good deeds she has done!" Cao Yuan took out the bag of gold she had just taken from the doctor's bosom.

Xue Xiqiong woke up at this time.

"Sister, you're awake?"

"Xi Nian, what happened?" Xue Xiqiong then remembered that she had been knocked unconscious by Cao Yuan.

"Oh, the princess just hit me!"

"Which princess hit you?" Fan Qingli asked.

“There are only two princesses in the entire Great Wei here, so who else could have done it!” Cao Yuan glared at him.

"It was I who struck!"

Xue Xiqiong burst into tears, broke free from Xue Xinian's embrace, and nestled beside Fan Qingli, saying aggrievedly, "Qingli, the princess hit me! It hurts so much!"

"Please spare me, gentlemen! I just wanted to make money! Can't I just give up the money?" the doctor kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"Royal sister, are you really pregnant?"

Cao Shang asked guiltily, "What do you mean!"

"Speak!" Cao Yuan kicked the doctor.

“I told you, this lady told me to come and take your pulse. She said she would give me a bag of gold if I told her I had miscarried.”

The doctor pointed at Xue Xiqiong.

"you!"

Fan Qingli said, "Are you sure? Did someone teach you to say that?"

"I didn't lie this time! I didn't lie!"

Fan Qingli looked at Xue Xiqiong with a gloomy expression.

"Qingli, you can't trust him! He's willing to come to the Minister's mansion for money, and he's also willing to slander me for money!"

"Sister, I had no idea you became so eloquent. Who taught you this?"

"Your Highness, why frighten Xiqiong? I've long known of Your Highness's ruthless methods, and I'm fortunate to have witnessed them today; they are truly formidable." Fan Qingli still didn't believe Cao Yuan.

"You just took her pulse. Does her pulse indicate that she is indeed pregnant?" Cao Yuan asked.

Fan Qingli said, "Don't be afraid of her. Such dirty things are not allowed in our Minister's Mansion!"

"There is indeed no pregnancy sign!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

It is said that Princess Huafeng was pregnant when she was hastily married.

"Could it be a lie? Just so she can marry into the Xue family?"

"Lord Xue is truly blessed!"

"Is this considered deceiving the Emperor?"

"Waaah... Why did you frame me like this, my royal sister? I want to see Father Emperor!" Cao Shang covered her face and cried, her face streaked with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

"My lords, I am not lying. If you do not believe me, you can ask other doctors to take your pulse."

Xue Xinian couldn't help but say, "A Yuan, the most important thing right now is Shang'er's health. I know these things have nothing to do with you, A Yuan."

Cao Yuan kicked Xue Xinian, almost knocking her over. "You're so protective of her, did you already know she wasn't pregnant?! Xue Xinian, I really underestimated you!"

“Ah Yuan, I have absolutely no knowledge of this matter.”

Xue Xinian turned the boat around and said to Cao Shang, "Shang'er, is this for real? How can you joke about your own reputation?"

"If Father Emperor finds out, he will certainly not forgive us!"

"I!"

Cao Shang was defeated again.

"And sister, you're really being ridiculous. Was the fire your idea too? With so many guests, aren't you afraid of hurting someone?"

"It wasn't all the princess who forced me to do it! I had no choice!"

"If you're not pregnant, stop pretending and let's go home!"

"Qingli!" Xue Xiqiong looked at Fan Qingli and took a few steps back.

Fan Qingli glared fiercely at Xue Xiqiong, slapped her across the face, and then left.

"Qing Li!"

Cao Yuan boarded the carriage and left alone. She had only gone halfway when she heard a commotion outside. She lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

"Doctor, open the door!"

"My mother needs to see a doctor, please take a look."

As the carriage drew closer, she recognized him as Wen Xuchang, who had just brought his mother to a birthday banquet.

The old lady's body and face were covered in soot, probably from when she was at the Minister's residence. It seemed she had been kicked out by the Minister's steward.

How could any official have fallen so low?

It is said that there are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill patient.

She misunderstood; it seems he truly is a filial son.

However, Cao Yuan would think of Xue Xinian whenever she saw him.

They both came from humble backgrounds and were both filial.

Cao Yuan returned to the manor and had just alighted from her carriage when another carriage stopped not far away across the street.

A person got off the carriage.

"Your Highness! My master requests your presence!"
