Chapter 499: Dilemma on Both Sides
Chapter 499: Dilemma on Both Sides
Ruyi was in so much pain.
Not only did her body hurt, but her heart also hurt.
The little Twelve in front of her was not her little Twelve, but he looked very similar to the little Twelve in her previous life.
She originally wanted to give birth to her little Twelve in the cold palace, and then kill the man in front of her, so that she and the child could be reunited.
But unfortunately, things in this world don't always go as we wish.
It was this Yongji who blocked her Yongji's path, how dare he bully her so openly? !
She really hates...
Concubine Jia's eyes became fierce, and she slapped her on the face, warning her: "Don't do anything to my child, otherwise..."
She pointed at Ruyi's belly and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. In this palace, no one is allowed to do anything with the child, but you..."
Ruyi was startled and subconsciously protected her stomach.
Concubine Jia sneered and slapped her in the face again: "I always keep my word, Ruyi, you can try!"
After saying that, he left with Yongji.
Ruyi was so angry that she was shaking all over, and at the same time she was really scared.
She is different now than before. Before, she had Hailan, Ling Yunche, and Li Yu...
Now she is all alone.
She protected her belly tightly, held Rong Pei's hand and walked towards the nearby Yanxi Palace. After entering the door, she turned around and looked at Rong Pei fiercely.
Rong Pei was startled by her look and subconsciously let go of her hand.
Ruyi glanced at her sideways, raised her chin, and cast her eyes downward: "Why don't you protect me?"
She asked slowly: "Not even a word of defense!"
In the past, she could lie to herself and say that Rong Pei was harmed by Jinzhong and was frightened, but she was so miserable today that she couldn't bear it anymore.
Rong Pei's face turned pale: "The servant was pressed to the ground."
Her chin should have turned purple by now, and she was in great pain: "Master, I did fight them, but I couldn't beat them. I just... didn't scream." That's all.
Ruyi stared at her carefully for a while, and saw that her clothes were indeed dusty and wrinkled, and her chin was red and swollen. Only then did she suppress her anger: "Rong Pei, don't blame me. I was just bullied too badly by them..."
As she spoke, tears fell heavily.
Rong Pei used to feel distressed when she saw her crying, but at this moment, she just felt a chill on her back and she felt scared.
Fortunately, Jiang Yubin came.
Ruyi suppressed her anger and waited for Rong Pei to help her back to the room. Then she sent her out and left Jiang Yubin alone to talk.
Jiang Yebin's face was stiff: "If your Majesty insists on not leaving someone to serve you, then I can only wait until you are more convenient to come!"
real……
He took a deep breath and swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
A trace of annoyance flashed across Ruyi's eyes: "Rong Pei! Come in!... Wait by the partition!"
Rong Pei came in hurriedly, with her eyes downcast, not daring to look up.
Ruyi frowned and looked at Rong Pei's profile again and again.
Jiang Yubin wanted to roll his eyes. He hurried over to check her pulse and frowned, "You're going to give birth soon. You'd better prepare early and don't go out for a long time."
Of course Ruyi knew that she was about to give birth, otherwise she wouldn't have gone around looking for Concubine Jia.
She frowned and said, "I was beaten by Concubine Jia today, so I'm afraid the date will have to be moved up a little, Lord Jiang, do you understand?"
Jiang Yubin packed his things with a cold face: "You are indeed in labor, and you may have a premature birth."
Ruyi's eyes flashed with cruelty: "Lord Jiang, please stay in the palace for the next two days."
Jiang Yubin: "..."
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Xin had been living in Yongshou Palace recently, he would have definitely rejected this request outright!
He said calmly, "Yes."
Ruyi's face was full of tenderness: "Jiang Yubin, thank you so much. Now in this palace..."
Jiang Yubin didn't want to hear her warm words, so he said respectfully: "You still need to rest more. The wound on your face can't be treated with medicine, so you have to just bear it."
Ruyi choked and nodded with a serious face. Seeing that Jiang Yubin didn't dare to stay any longer, she frowned and told him to leave.
After he left, she called Rong Pei in and sighed, "Jiang Yubin has changed a lot since he married惢心."
Rong Pei hated herself for knowing what she wanted to hear right away, and also hated herself for wanting to answer as soon as she opened her mouth: "..."
But in the end, she swallowed her words back.
Looking back now, she can no longer look at and think about many things and people with the same heart as before, and then follow the master to say what she wants to hear.
She was once the recipient of the Lord's kindness, so she felt that those who betrayed the Lord were unforgivable.
But now, she has suffered too much suppression and cold shoulders from her master, both openly and covertly. Although her master has not said any derogatory words, she is really good at using cold shoulders to scold her, educate her, and make her do what her master wants.
She was terrified at first, but after a long time, she really... felt sick.
Ruyi looked at Rong Pei disappointedly: "Even you have changed."
Her sad look... made Rong Pei feel even more disgusted.
Rong Pei tried hard to hold back the pounding in her chest and said, "Master, I'll go get you some medicine. Imperial Doctor Jiang seems very busy, so I'm worried if I ask the eunuch to deliver the medicine."
Ruyi was also afraid of something going wrong, so she gently touched her belly and said, "Please ask for some more ice for me, my face really hurts."
Rong Pei froze. Going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for ice at this time...
But she knew that what the master wanted was not a reason for her to make things difficult for him, but for her to get the ice back.
She squeezed out a voice: "Yes, I will do my best."
She went back and rummaged through boxes and drawers before finally scraping together a little money. She took the money and went to the Imperial Household Department to ask for a small piece of ice.
Because he was afraid that the ice would melt, he had to run back to give ice to Ruyi first, and then go to get the medicine.
At that time, the medicine had been prepared at the Imperial Hospital for a long time and had been on the table for a long time.
Rong Pei looked at the medicine bag lying alone on the table, and her heart skipped a beat. But when she looked at the sullen-faced imperial physicians and eunuchs, and thought about Ruyi's urgent urgency, she did not dare to make trouble and hurriedly took the medicine back to boil it.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Ruyi suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain and screamed.
Rong Pei hurriedly lit the lamp to go and see. When she lifted the quilt, she saw water stains and blood stains on the bed. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the baby was about to be born or something went terribly wrong.
Ruyi's face was pale. "Go and call someone! I'm about to give birth! Remember, just call Jiang Yubin!"
Rong Pei panicked: "Master, don't be afraid! Master, don't be afraid! I'll go right away!"
She called Zhao Ma and others and wanted to rush out to find Jiang Yubin, but she was afraid that Zhao Ma and others would do something bad to her master. But if she stayed with her master, she was afraid that Zhao Ma and others would deliberately find another doctor, or even... deliberately run slowly to ask for the doctor.
