Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 571 Heartache and Uneasiness

Nanny Yi took the bowl of porridge in her hand and squinted her narrow eyes at Lan Qingwu: "Come, drink this bowl of porridge!"

Lan Qingwu looked at the coix seeds in the bowl and the lukewarm porridge, and frowned slightly: "Mammy, is there any other porridge? This coix seed is too cold, I..."

There was something that Emperor Shenwu said that was very true. Lan Qingwu had been pampered by him over the years. She was indeed spoiled to the point that she could not endure any hardship. I'm afraid that if I eat this cold barley porridge, my stomach will start to hurt in a short time. And it seems that Nanny Yi will not care about me too much now.

Nanny Yi's face turned cold, and she interrupted Lan Qingwu, sneering, "There's only this porridge. If you want to drink it, drink it. If you don't, there's nothing else! Also, you'll only be given two meals a day. If you don't eat now, the next meal will be this barley porridge again!"

Lan Qingwu stepped back gently on the bed, "Then take it away! I don't want to eat it!"

Nanny Yi opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly she smelled a faint fragrance. This fragrance was elegant and long-lasting, and it was intoxicating. Nanny Yi realized that it was the body fragrance of the woman in front of her. Her eyes turned cold and she looked at Lan Qingwu viciously: "What a vixen who specializes in seducing men!"

Before Lan Qingwu could react, Nanny Yi reached out her hand. Her hand was like a pair of iron pliers, and she dragged Lan Qingwu to her. Lan Qingwu exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

Nanny Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light: "If you don't drink, I will serve you well!"

Nanny Yi pushed the bowl of porridge to Lan Qingwu's mouth, but Lan Qingwu naturally refused. During the struggle, the bowl of porridge was thrown to the ground, breaking into pieces and spilling all over the floor.

Nanny Yi's expression turned even uglier. She pulled out a hairpin from her head and quickly swung it towards Lan Qingwu: "I'm going to destroy your face!"

Lan Qingwu was frightened and unconsciously raised her hand to block it. A sharp pain came from her and she cried out in pain. The sharp hairpin had cut a hole in the palm of her right hand and blood spurted out. Lan Qingwu covered her right hand and fell on the bed, tears rolling down her face like strings of pearls: "Brother Heng..."

Nanny Yi refused to give up. Her hands, like iron clamps, grasped Lan Qingwu's long black hair again. Nanny Yi felt that the black hair was smooth and silky, and she was jealous to the point of madness. This woman was so exquisite in every way that she was compared to the dust. No! A servant like herself in a dark corner could not even compare to a toe of the woman in front of her! But so what? No matter how beautiful she was, she was still in her hands.

Lan Qingwu cried out softly in pain, her nightgown slightly opening. Nanny Yi pinched her exposed skin hard, but before she used much force, a patch of red had already appeared on her icy skin.

Lan Qingwu used her injured hand to hold down Nanny Yi's abusive right hand, staring at Nanny Yi with a pair of clear eyes: "I am His Majesty's woman. You treat me like this and hurt me. His Majesty will never let you go if he sees you like this!"

Nanny Yi was stunned for a moment. When she was about to speak again, she suddenly caught sight of a hint of red on Lan Qingwu's left wrist. Nanny Yi's eyes lit up with joy, and she forcefully ripped the lustrous red bracelet off Lan Qingwu's wrist: "This thing looks good! I'll spare you for now!"

Nanny Yi saw the pool of blood in front of her, and her eyes became clearer. She felt a little guilty about her bluffing, "You don't have to scare me. His Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs. You are just a thing that cannot be seen in the light here. It will take a long time for His Majesty to remember you!"

Nanny Yi wiped the red bracelet again and again, her eyes filled with joy. She impatiently threw down a handkerchief and said, "Wrap it up yourself, don't get blood stains everywhere!"

"My Shanshan bracelet..."

Lan Qingwu covered his right hand and watched Nanny Yi walk out.

Lan Qingwu retreated to the innermost part of the bed and did not use Nanny Yi's handkerchief. She casually used the cloud-patterned cloth on the bed to bandage the wound on her hand. The throbbing pain was unbearable for her.

Lan Qingwu didn't believe that the Emperor Shenwu had deliberately given herself to such a person for torture. She lay in the innermost part, next to the wall, sobbing silently in pain and sadness, "Brother Heng, why did you lock me up here?"

When Nanny Yi brought the porridge again, Lan Qingwu knew that Nanny Yi had bad intentions towards her, so she naturally didn't dare to use it. She didn't even dare to drink the water.

Lan Qingwu observed silently. There seemed to be the sound of wind blowing in. It was already past May, but it wasn't hot at all here, and there was no sense of day or night. She counted the days by the frequency with which Nanny Yi brought her porridge. One day passed.

Lan Qingwu drifted off to sleep again. When she woke, she felt weak. She stayed quietly, afraid of provoking Nanny Yi again. Except for a trip to the bathroom, she stayed in bed as much as possible.

When Nanny Yi came in again, she was still holding the cold barley porridge in her hand. She looked at Lan Qingwu, who had become haggard, with a smug look in her eyes: "It's still this porridge. Do you want some?"

Lan Qingwu shook her head silently. Nanny Yi curled her lips and walked out. It seemed like it was the morning of the next day. Lan Qingwu calculated the time and forced herself to endure two days and two nights. When she thought it was night, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep again. However, this time, she didn't wake up on her own, but was awakened by the severe pain!

Lan Qingwu woke up screaming in pain. Nanny Yi was pressing the wound on her right hand with an excited look on her face. The wound that had already healed was torn open by Nanny Yi, and blood immediately flowed all over her hand. Lan Qingwu pushed Nanny Yi away with all her strength, and then fell back on the bed exhausted. The torn wound made her tremble all over. She couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Brother Heng...Brother Heng..."

At this moment, in the main hall of Qianzheng Palace, Emperor Shenwu, who was summoning civil and military officials, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart again! He tried his best to endure it, but he couldn't help but cover his chest. The crown prince, who was nearby, rushed forward, "Father!"

Li Xiang hurriedly poured the pills specially prepared by the imperial physician into the crown prince's hand, and the crown prince immediately fed them to the Shenwu Emperor. The third prince stood a few steps behind the crown prince, watching quietly, and followed suit, "Father, how are you?"

The ministers below looked at Emperor Shenwu with concern. Prince Ding said, "Your Majesty! You haven't recovered yet. You should rest for a few more days!"

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand, "Let's stop here for today! Everyone, please leave!"

He didn't know what was going on, but he felt uneasy. As the ministers left one by one, the Third Prince left Qianzheng Hall and discovered that the Crown Prince had been detained again.

In the hall, Emperor Shenwu felt the pain in his heart and suddenly said to the Crown Prince, "Withdraw your men from the Hot Springs Royal Manor and stop working as day laborers!"

The Crown Prince looked up at his father, who was looking at him seriously and calmly, and replied frankly, "It seems that the Queen Mother is not there! Father, I just want to know why the King became so ill upon my return, and why the Queen Mother is also missing! What exactly happened? You have been blaming Lord Wang for everything lately. Do you really believe those nonsense rumors?"

Emperor Shenwu closed his eyes slightly: "Don't speculate! No matter what happened, father doesn't want it to affect you."

The Crown Prince shook his head in disbelief. "Father, I won't be able to see Mother anymore. This isn't just affecting me! And what about Xiao Qi and Yue Yue? They'll eventually find out! How can they accept this?"

Emperor Shenwu no longer wanted to say anything more, "Get out!"

The pain came from his heart again, and Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly. The prince had already stretched out his hand and was rubbing Emperor Shenwu's chest with moderate strength.

Emperor Shenwu opened his eyes and looked at his son, who looked most like him. A flash of memory crossed his eyes. "I still remember when you were in your mother's womb, your father would read to you and play music for you every day. You were so lively. This was the first time I was so eager to have a child!"

The Crown Prince was moved and said, "Father, your kindness in raising and teaching me will always be remembered in my heart! You and Mother are my loved ones whom I will never part with. Father, I also know that if Mother is hurt, you will be hurt too! Your unbearable pain right now is probably because Mother is not by your side!"

Emperor Shenwu felt increasingly uneasy. He said directly, "Stop talking! Don't interfere in the affairs between me and your mother! Also, you just lost a child in your backyard. Go back and tell the Crown Princess that if something like this happens again, I will depose her!"

The prince replied, "I have already investigated this matter thoroughly. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. I have also warned her!"

Emperor Shenwu thought of Lan Qingwu again, "If she had a trace of kindness in her heart, she would not have allowed this to happen!" To put it bluntly, the Crown Princess was still selfish and allowed this to happen.

The prince agreed. Seeing that Emperor Shenwu closed his eyes again, he knew that he could no longer mention his mother, so he took his leave.

Meanwhile, in the secret room, Nanny Yi was even more excited as she looked at the tearful Lan Qingwu. "I was almost fooled by you! I've done some investigations, and His Majesty won't be here for the next few months. You still have a few months to heal this wound! Just bear with it!"

Nanny Yi satisfied her perverted desire for torture and walked out of the room. Outside, she was in a completely different world. The floor and walls were all smooth natural marble. Nanny Yi took out the red bracelet and put it to her nose with satisfaction, sniffing again and again: "I didn't expect this bracelet to have this kind of fragrance!"

The peach blossom butterfly coral bracelet has been imbued with the fragrance of the Jiuzhi flower dew on Lan Qingwu's body for more than ten years. The red color is moist and bright, and it looks so beautiful!

Nanny Yi was admiring the scene when she heard a sound from the stone gate not far away. She quickly held her breath, bowed, and stood by the wall. She saw the stone gate open wide, and Emperor Shenwu walked in with a cold expression, followed only by Li Xiang.

Nanny Yi didn't react at first, until Li Xiang lightly scolded her, "How dare you! Why don't you pay your respects to His Majesty?"

Nanny Yi just woke up from her dream. She immediately knelt down in the corner with her whole body prostrated. Emperor Shenwu walked over without even looking at her.

The kneeling Nanny Yi couldn't help but tremble all over when she thought of Lan Qingwu's miserable condition in the dormitory!
