Chapter 262: Chapter 262 This Ti It’s Really About Nourishing the Fetus Chapter 262: Chapter 262 This Ti It’s Really About Nourishing the Fetus The Zhuo family was raided, and all the won were taken to serve as military courtesans.
This mont was the first nightmare in Zhuo Yinzhu’s life.
Even when she had caused the death of the real Zhuo Yinzhu, she hadn’t felt afraid, watching the other woman collapse weakly; aside from nervousness, what she felt even more was a blood-boiling excitent.
She knew her chance to replace Zhuo Yinzhu had co.
The plan instantly took shape in her mind, and upon leaving the rich man’s household, she started practicing Zhuo Yinzhu’s gestures and manners, becoming picky, and making herself into the genuine fallen daughter of the Zhuo family.
She had lived with Zhuo Yinzhu for a year and a half, nearly day and night, and had long since morized certain things to her marrow.
So, when the Zhuo family’s servants found her more than two years later, there wasn’t the slightest doubt; it never occurred to them that she simply wasn’t the real Zhuo Yinzhu.
It was laughable that the Zhuo family themselves never harbored any doubts. Despite her long absence of over four years and her greatly changed appearance, they didn’t take it to heart, only glancing at the purse and the fake mole on her body before believing in her identity.
Of course, it also had to do with her daily deanor; her every move was strikingly different from ordinary common girls, vaguely exuding nobility, so they believed that she was indeed their Zhuo family’s child.
She had had it too easy.
In the Miao Family, Miao Wuxie had been extrely protective of her. In the Zhuo family, she seamlessly beca the privileged daughter, adorned with endless jewelry and dressed in lavish silks and satins.
Even though she was confined and couldn’t accompany her eldest sister, Zhuo Jinzhu, to various banquets and et the influential figures of the Capital City, her life was still a hundred tis better than it had been in Xiangxi.
However, she could never have dread that rely because she sched against Jun Yuyan, the Zhuo family would be raided so rapidly.
Such wealth turned to smoke in an instant.
She, along with the Zhuo family sisters, was pinned to the ground, each of them branded on the forehead with the word “Courtesan”!
Physical pain was nothing compared to the hatred in her heart.
She had not easily ascended to a life above others, and in one night, she was thrust into hell; she beca like the forr Zhaodi, like her three actual older sisters, no, even worse than them.
She was all too clear about what she and the Zhuo family sisters would face once they reached their destination.
They would never be able to turn their fates around, endlessly placed beneath a thousand n, ridden by ten thousand!
This was a humiliation a thousand tis worse than being a lowly foot-washing maid or a laboring servant!
She was not reconciled, not reconciled that her years of scheming had co to such an end.
Fortunately, fate favored her; The Third Prince ca to rescue her, and the Second Prince also ca to help her.
As long as she helped the Second Prince get rid of the Third Prince, she could help the Zhuo family be reinstated, and she would return to living as the privileged daughter!
Divine Doctor Miao could help remove the brand on her forehead; it would just take so ti.
The Second Prince had even touched her face and ntioned her beauty, saying that if he beca the Crown Prince and the Zhuo family was restored, he would grant her the position of a concubine!
Concubine! Not just a lesser concubine!
Once the Second Prince ascended as the Emperor, she might directly gain the position of a concubine, and if she was favored by the Second Prince and accomplished many great things for him, perhaps, she could even beco a Noble Consort.
Even the position of the Empress, she dared to contemplate.
Yun Weiwei was no threat; the forr Murong Man might have been, but now she was rely a traitor’s daughter – how could she compare? What right did she have to compete with her?
But now, the intolerable prickling on her face beca her second nightmare!
Her face was disfigured!
It was the most dreadful kind of burn!
Even with Divine Doctor Miao at her side, it was impossible to restore her appearance.
It was over, her whole life was thoroughly destroyed.
With her face gone, how could she still beco the Second Prince’s Concubine? How could she beco a Noble Consort or an Empress?
All her dreams, like bubbles on the water that burst at a single touch, were shattered instantly.
When she realized that all her efforts over the years had been in vain, she began to wish for death.
It would be better to die and be done with it, with no more pain.
This must be retribution, she thought. She had caused the death of the real Zhuo Yinzhu, and now the other’s vengeful spirit was seeking revenge.
Miao Wuxie entered from outside the house with an expressionless face, holding a box of gold in his hands.
As he approached Zhuo Yinzhu’s bed, he revealed a gentle smile, “Yinzhu, look, the Second Prince has sent gold for you. We just ran short of a few expensive dicinal herbs, and now we are saved.”
Zhuo Yinzhu didn’t move, as if she couldn’t hear anything.
One side of her face was intact, but there was a brand on her forehead and the other side was covered in burns, treated with a green dicinal paste, looking ferocious and terrifying.
“Yinzhu, you have to be spirited, you must believe , I will definitely cure you.”
Miao Wuxie comforted her.
Cure her? How could burns be cured?
Sarcasm filled Zhuo Yinzhu’s eyes, and a twitch at the corner of her mouth caused her excruciating pain, as if her heart was being torn apart.
Miao Wuxie stuffed a pain-relieving pill into her mouth and said gently, “Yinzhu, I know your heart aches, but believe , I really have a way. Once I saved a rabbit that had been burned by a wildfire. After a skin graft, it survived and even the skin recovered well, showing no signs of burns. You can certainly do the sa.”
Zhuo Yinzhu’s eyes moved eagerly.
“Really, Yinzhu, I’m not deceiving you. You must trust completely.”
Zhuo Yinzhu blinked, as if nodding in agreent.
Miao Wuxie’s lips curled into a gentle smile.
…
After observing for most of the day and seeing no discomfort in Murong Jiu, Divine Doctor Zhai retired to rest.
However, he still instructed Jun Yuyan to arrange for him to stay sowhere closer, so that in case of any ergencies, he could attend to them more swiftly.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yuyan apologized to Divine Doctor Zhai for his oversight and imdiately ordered that a study room inside Qiyun Courtyard be cleared to temporarily accommodate Divine Doctor Zhai.
The main thing was that places like the Prince Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion had strict rules, and external n were not allowed to stay in the inner courtyard. Since Jun Yuyan was solely focused on staying by Ah Jiu’s side at all tis, he naturally overlooked this detail.
He had been careless, not anticipating that Ah Jiu would experience childbirth signs so soon. He blad himself for not considering it thoroughly.
At the sa ti, he arranged for four midwives to stay at the Prince Mansion until after Ah Jiu had given birth, only then could they leave.
The four of them had no objections, as the Prince not only gave them a considerable amount of reward money but also sent soone to their hos to explain the situation so they could stay by the Princess Consort’s side with peace of mind.
They also understood very well that the Prince cared about the Princess Consort and was afraid that she might give birth suddenly. If they had to be summoned then, they feared it might be too late.
And with a status like the Princess Consort’s, extra caution was needed in case anyone was bought off after leaving, which could lead to harm upon returning to the Prince Mansion, especially during childbirth. Wouldn’t that ruin everything?
This was a concern among wealthy households, much more so for Prince Ling.
While at the Prince Mansion, the midwives could eat well and drink well and even had maidservants to serve them; their hearts were elated beyond words.
Murong Jiu lay in bed nourishing her fetus, this ti truly confined to bed. Except for using the toilet, she even had her als and soups in bed.
Jun Yuyan treasured her dearly, wishing he could hold her hand every mont of the day, all twelve shichen long.
