Chapter 312

However, despite Chu Lingxiu's thorough consideration, Xue Liu did not show any joy. Instead, fear flashed across her eyes.

Chu Lingxiu knew that she was afraid. She was afraid that he had really diagnosed something wrong.

Chu Lingxiu held her slightly cold fingertips and coaxed her softly, "Don't worry. Doctor Wang is an excellent doctor. Even if there is something wrong, it will be fine after a few days of treatment."

Xue Liu then followed Chu Lingxiu to the main hall.

After Doctor Wang saluted the two of them, he began to diagnose Xue Liu's pulse.

Seeing Doctor Wang's increasingly furrowed brows, Chu Lingxiu and Xue Liu both felt panic rising in their hearts.

However, Chu Lingxiu was really afraid, while Xue Liu was just acting.

During the year of taking the contraceptive soup, Xue Liu would secretly ask the doctor to diagnose her physical condition every once in a while under the pretext of returning to Yangling Marquis's Mansion. So Xue Liu always knew that she had been injured at the root, but she was young and as long as she could recuperate for a year or two, she could still conceive normally.

As expected, the result of Wang Taiyi's diagnosis was exactly what Xue Liu had expected. "Your Highness, the Concubine has taken too many cold medicines. Even if she has been nourishing with warm things, it is inevitable that the foundation is damaged. Fortunately, the Concubine is still young, and it is very likely to recover if she takes good care of herself in the future."

As soon as Wang Taiyi finished speaking, Chu Lingxiu's face immediately turned cold, "Damage to the foundation? What are the consequences?"

Wang Taiyi glanced at Xue Liu and responded, "In the short term, the Concubine will probably not have children."

Seeing Chu Lingxiu's face was very bad, Wang Taiyi hurriedly made up for it, "Your Highness, it's just a short period of time. If you take more care of yourself for a few days, the Concubine will still be able to conceive normally."

Hearing this, Chu Lingxiu's face barely improved.

Wang Taiyi followed his confidant to go out to prescribe medicine, and Chu Lingxiu held Xue Liu, whose face was pale, in his arms. Xue Liu's body kept shaking in his arms. Soon, Chu Lingxiu realized that his clothes on his chest were wet.

His mother was too cruel to almost deprive a woman of her right to be a mother.

At the same time, Chu Lingxiu was somewhat thankful that he found out in time. If it was later... Chu Lingxiu didn't dare to imagine such a result.

Since that day, Xue Liu began to take medicine every day to regulate her body.

In the house, Xue Liu picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all, with an unconcealable coldness in her eyes.

Sooner or later, she would return the suffering she suffered today to the queen completely.

...

The matter of the queen came to an end, and Xue Liu's life in the mansion returned to the peace she once had.

However, without Yun Yuan, Xue Liu always felt that something was missing around her.

Seeing that Xue Liu was often absent-minded, Chu Lingxiu handed over the power of the mansion to her, so that she would not have wild thoughts all day long.

The weather was getting hotter day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was May 28th, the wedding day of Shen Qing and Mu Ziqian.

Xue Liu left for Yangling Marquis' Mansion early in the morning. Before Mu Ziqian went to Yining Marquis' Mansion to pick up the bride, Xue Liu explained everything to him in detail, and Mu Ziqian reluctantly led the wedding party out.

After Mu Ziqian left, Xue Liu went to Fuyun Pavilion.

Qi Zi had sent news a long time ago that Lin Xuefu had been much more obedient in the past six months. Although she still had secret contacts with Mu Ziqian, her body was getting weaker day by day. Xue Liu had also explained to Doctor Zhang early in the morning, so everyone in Yangling Marquis' Mansion thought it was the sequelae of Lin Xuefu's last miscarriage, and no one suspected it.

When Xue Liu walked to Fuyun Pavilion, Lin Xuefu was basking in the sun in the yard.

After not seeing each other for almost a year, Xue Liu found that most of the agility in Lin Xuefu's eyes had dissipated, replaced by ambitions that were about to be hidden.

As she approached the age of 15, her mind began to become active again.

Seeing Xue Liu coming, Lin Xuefu stood up with the help of Lian Rui, and then bowed obediently.

Xue Liu responded lightly, and after a brief explanation, she left with Bi Hen.

Looking at Xue Liu's bright and beautiful back, Lin Xuefu gritted her teeth and scratched Lian Rui with her sharp fingernails, but the latter did not dare to groan.

Since she was ill, Lin Xuefu's temper has become worse and worse, and she would punish the servants from time to time.

When Mu Ziqian took Shen Qing over, it was already dark. The two of them bowed in the hall under the witness of the guests. Xue Liu sat aside and watched the two of them become husband and wife.

Once the etiquette was completed, the relationship between Yangling Marquis' Mansion and Yining Marquis' Mansion was completely established.

After the ceremony, Xue Liu just ate some food and returned to the Prince's Mansion. She could not miss any of the soups and medicines.

The next day, Xue Liu served Chu Lingxiu in the morning court.

Originally, Chu Lingxiu doted on Xue Liu and didn't want her to go through the same trouble, but Xue Liu always said that etiquette should not be abolished, so Chu Lingxiu let him go.

When Chu Lingxiu left, it was still dark.

Bihen walked in quickly from outside and whispered to Xue Liu: "Master, the young master and Miss Shen did not consummate their marriage yesterday, but went to Fuyun Pavilion to spend the night."

Xue Liu had expected such a result long ago, and even thought of the excuses that Mu Ziqian would use.

However, she had already forced Mu Ziqian too much, and if she forced him again, it would be counterproductive, so Xue Liu didn't care anymore.

After all, they had already been married, and many things were easy to talk about.

"Let someone continue to keep an eye on Hongyan Hall and Fuyun Pavilion. By the way, pay more attention to Miss Shen's place, and don't let her suffer any grievances."

Bihen agreed one by one, and wanted to wait for Xue Liu to lie down and rest for a while, but Xue Liu waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to sleep.

While it was still early, Xue Liu asked someone to prepare a carriage to go out of the city to Chenglu Temple to pay homage.

This was what she and Yun Yuan had agreed to do early in the morning, but now she was the only one who went.

…

Unconsciously, Xue Liu had been drinking the medicine for more than half a year, and Chu Lingxiu stayed in Xue Liu's room for at least half a month in a month, but Xue Liu's stomach had never moved.

Now, everyone in Yangling Marquis's Mansion was completely restless. If Xue Liu really couldn't get pregnant, all the previous arrangements would be ruined.

At the end of the year, when Xue Liu returned to Yangling Marquis's Mansion to visit her parents, the two had already found a doctor waiting in the mansion.

Fortunately, the result was good.

Xue Liu's body had recovered by more than half, and it was estimated that she would be completely well after another month of recuperation.

After receiving such news, Mu Linyuan and Lin were relieved at once, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.

The expression on Xue Liu's face has not changed much from beginning to end, especially when she saw Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu coming together, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but freeze.

It has been more than half a year since Shen Qing got married, but Mu Ziqian and Shen Qing have never consummated their marriage. Not only that, the affection between him and Lin Xuefu has become more and more unreserved.

Xue Liu has mentioned this matter to Mu Linyuan and Lin several times, but the two have always looked indifferent. Shen Qing has already married, so what can she do even if she doesn't consummate the marriage?

Besides, Mu Ziqian has suffered too much injustice in this marriage, and they don't want to force Mu Ziqian anymore.

As for Lin Xuefu, she will soon be a marriageable age, and it's time to give her a status.

Looking at the people in the room who are happy and harmonious, the expression on Xue Liu's face is getting darker and darker.

The status of Yangling Marquis Mansion in the court is growing day by day, and Xue Liu is favored by Chu Lingxiu, so some of the hidden thoughts of the Mu family have become more active.

And this is the scene that Xue Liu least wants to see.

Unwilling to stay in Yangling Marquis Mansion, Xue Liu turned around and left the mansion with Bi Hen regardless of everyone's words of retention.

However, when she returned to the mansion, Xue Liu got the news from the chess piece.

After she left angrily, the Mu family not only did not reflect on themselves, but also happily had a reunion dinner, during which they also mentioned that they would welcome Lin Xuefu into the mansion.

Xue Liu felt something stuck in her heart, and the disappointment in her eyes became more and more intense.

The family she helped with all her heart and soul, after gaining power, actually began to act on their own, and her words began to become more and more mild... In this case, don't blame her for being merciless.

Since that day, Xue Liu never returned to Yangling Marquis Mansion, and there was no news from Yangling Marquis Mansion.

On the last day of the year, Chu Lingxiu was on vacation. He wanted to visit Yangling Marquis Mansion with some gifts like last year, but was stopped by Xue Liu.

The reason was very simple. Xue Liu was just a concubine after all. Chu Lingxiu, the crown prince, condescended to visit a minister, which was unreasonable.

So, Mu Linyuan and Lin, who got up early in the morning and dressed neatly, waited until the sun set, but still couldn't wait for Chu Lingxiu and Xue Liu to come.

Both of them looked puzzled. According to Chu Lingxiu's love for Xue Liu, it shouldn't be like this now. They immediately thought that Chu Lingxiu had something to do and couldn't come. But after a little inquiry, they learned that Chu Lingxiu took Xue Liu to Fumei Mountain outside the city to see the plum blossoms early this morning. After returning in the afternoon, the two went to the market to stroll. It should not be busy, but there was no intention to sit in Yangling Marquis Mansion.

Although the crown prince is busy with affairs on weekdays, Chu Lingxiu also has eight days of rest at the end of the year.

However, until the last day of Chu Lingxiu's rest, Mu Linyuan still did not wait for Chu Lingxiu to show up.

When the rest ended and the morning court was held, Mu Linyuan took the initiative to show his presence in front of Chu Lingxiu, but found that Chu Lingxiu's attitude was much colder than before, and then he began to get close to his nemesis Shen Yian.

Mu Linyuan panicked all of a sudden, and after returning, he told Lin about this matter and asked her to go to the prince's mansion immediately to ask Xue Liu what happened.

If he had offended Chu Lingxiu, it would be better to make amends in time.

Unexpectedly, Lin, who entered the gate of the prince's mansion for the first time, was turned away on the spot.

Lin turned around angrily and returned to Yangling Marquis Mansion with a lot of anger. The moment she saw Mu Linyuan, she began to pour out her grievances like pouring beans. Every word she said was about how unfilial Xue Liu was. She dared to refuse her mother who had been pregnant for ten months.

At this point, no matter how stupid Mu Linyuan was, he could see that something was wrong.

Xue Liu did it on purpose.

The change in Chu Lingxiu... was probably related to her!
