In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1116 - 1020: Shouldn’t Have Come!

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1020: Shouldn’t Have Come!

Liu Xuan’er was indeed capable, and she immediately wiped her face gently, put away her teary appearance, and slowly knelt down across from Qin Yi.

"His Majesty is well aware, how could my little schemes possibly escape your notice?"

She gave a pitiful smile, then posed a resigned demeanor, "I am but driftwood on the water; my life and death are not mine to control. It is my good fortune that my adoptive father allowed me to serve His Majesty in the palace, and I dare not refuse..."

"Stop your nonsense!"

Qin Yi did not hesitate to interrupt her.

Liu Xuan’er clenched her teeth; this emperor was indeed impervious to both hard and soft tactics, a truly tough bone to chew.

But no matter how tough the bone, she had to chew it up today; otherwise, she feared she would not see tomorrow’s sun!

"Your Majesty, what I wish to speak of is an incident that occurred a few days ago."

Liu Xuan’er, with a plan in mind, began to speak more smoothly, "A few days ago, wasn’t the Empress investigating the murderer who killed the myna, Luo Luo? Only today did I unintentionally overhear the servants mentioning that she, under someone’s instigation, bribed a Night Fragrance boy to kill the bird and throw it into the First Princess’s bed."

This statement instantly changed Qin Yi’s expression, his eyes like lightning as he stared intently at Liu Xuan’er, the immense intimidating force causing her to feel chills down her spine, yet she had to grit her teeth and withstand it.

"Oh? So you did a good thing then?"

The words that Qin Yi uttered were light, yet they felt so heavy that Liu Xuan’er could barely breathe under their weight.

"I dare not take credit! At that time, I was also angered and quarreled with her. Accidentally, harm ensued... The events that followed were opportunistic. You must already be aware, Your Majesty."

Such a clean handoff!

Qin Yi sneered, "So you’re saying that it’s all the fault of this deceased servant?"

"I do not dare to make such a claim recklessly."

Liu Xuan’er knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

"What a cautious statement."

Qin Yi repeated, his fingers tapping lightly on the table surface, not speaking for a long while.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "The person instigating you mentioned earlier, who might that be?"

Liu Xuan’er kept her head down, "I do not know."

"Truly do not know?"

"I do not know."

Liu Xuan’er, under pressure, bit her lip and persisted with her original answer.

"Very well. Even before me, you dare to deceive and disrespect, Lord Liu has indeed raised a clever and astute daughter!"

The situation was getting serious!

Liu Xuan’er was immediately terrified half to death. She hastily began kowtowing, "Your Majesty, please see the truth, I truly dare not! Your Majesty, please discern clearly!"

"Humph!"

Qin Yi nodded his head, said no more, and stood up to leave, "That myna was a beloved pet of the First Princess; how to deal with you, I’ll leave to the First Princess herself. Take care of yourself!"

This woman before him was full of schemes, and he sincerely found her distasteful. Even staying here a moment longer felt irritating; it was better to leave early.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Liu Xuan’er first froze, then realizing the situation wanted to chase after him, but was directly blocked by several guards, watching helplessly as His Majesty walked further and further away.

Is the First Princess coming to deal with it?

Facing the unknown fate, Liu Xuan’er’s heart sunk to the depths.

Compared to Liu Xuan’er, Feng Xiyue, who had just been pregnant for two months, fainted outright upon hearing the news.

The servants by her side were terrified!

They hurriedly lifted her back to bed, massaging her chest and thumping her back. Seeing that she did not wake up for a long while, they quickly sent for the Imperial Physician.

"Don’t go, don’t you dare go."

Just as everyone was in disarray, Feng Xiyue suddenly came to, "I’m fine, I’m just happy for the Empress. My body is perfectly healthy, I’m okay, truly okay."

She held someone back from fetching the Imperial Physician, but her heart ached so much that she couldn’t speak.

Thinking of the dragon child in the Empress’s womb, which was already three months along, and then about her own two-month pregnancy, she felt a sorrow deeper than anything imaginable.

Some people are born with good fortune, having a smooth and uneventful life all the way till the end, while others seem to be on the brink of success, and yet they always miss the last crucial move and never succeed.

And she, Feng Xiyue, was exactly that last kind of person!

This child... should not have come!

No, that’s not right!

It wasn’t the child’s fault; it was hers for longing for things that didn’t belong to her, harming not only herself but also the unborn child in her womb.

She closed her eyes tightly, unable to stop considering her bleak future.

In contrast to the various schemes and thoughts of those in the Imperial Harem’s Palace, Su Pan’er cared about nothing else but maintaining her pregnancy health. She did not let her mind wander to the other women in the palace.

Unaware of her pregnancy before, she thought she was just sleepy. Now that she knew she was pregnant, she allowed herself to sleep even more.

During the early stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers naturally need more sleep to nurture their bodies and the child within.

Besides, she clearly remembered the ten-day period that Imperial Physician Wang had mentioned. As the days passed, as long as she and the child remained safe, there seemed to be a greater chance of keeping the baby.

But when she heard that the First Princess personally went to handle the murderer of the crested myna Luo Luo, her sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

"The First Princess went to Shuiyan Park? When did this happen?"

Where could Su Pan’er sleep now? She got up in a hurry to dress, "She just ran off like that without thinking? Wasn’t anyone with her?"

Nanny Xiao hurriedly came forward to help her dress, quickly replying, "It was the First Princess’s attendant who came and told us. It seems that after His Majesty personally spoke with the First Princess, she stormed off to Shuiyan Park. About the length of two cups of tea has passed since then."

In the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, anything could have happened if they were quick.

"Did His Majesty tell her that Luo Luo was killed by Liu Xuan’er? Hurry, move faster, let’s get over there quickly."

Su Pan’er asked while persistently urging the two who were helping her get ready.

Nanny Xiao complied, her hands not missing a beat, "Indeed, it was His Majesty who told her. However, Your Highness need not worry too much, we have our people arranged at Shuiyan Park. No matter how capable Liu Xuan’er is, she wouldn’t dare harm the First Princess easily. Your Highness, you’re heavy with child right now; you must not agitate your fetal gas."

At the mention of agitating the fetal gas, Su Pan’er’s stomach really began to hurt.

She turned pale and immediately clutched her stomach, sitting down to bear the pain, a dense sweat breaking out on her forehead after just a moment.

Nanny Xiao immediately noticed her discomposure, almost exclaiming in alarm. Thankfully, she was usually calm, managing to contain herself at the critical moment, carefully helping the Empress to lie down in bed.

Turning around, she signaled with her eyes to Qingwen, "Hurry! The Empress is not feeling well, go fetch Imperial Physician Wang at once!"
