"Looks like I have to thank you for not knowing." If it wasn't for this palace maid purposely mentioning this, perhaps she would have remained in the dark. No wonder Xi Men Rui Xue had looked at her coldly from in front of the carriage. It wasn't the Yun family that was causing trouble, but the Qin family.

But after some thought, if one only felt that there were many flaws, those who participated in the palace change obviously listened to Yun Ru Xi, and she saw this with her own eyes.

Impossible, it must be framing.

"Go and report to the crown prince that I want to see him."

"Miss Qin, the crown prince will ascend the throne today. From today onwards, the princess will change her way of addressing him as' emperor '."

Your majesty, she had forgotten that Ximen Ruixue is the crown prince. Without the late emperor, the kingdom can't go on without a ruler. It is very normal for him to ascend to the throne now.

He lowered himself and sat down. If it really was the Qin family, he really did not know how Ximen Ruixue would punish him.

However, she didn't even know where those flames were.

No, it would not be the Qin family. It must be Yun Ru Xi. She was the one who had blinded Xi Men Rui Xue. She was the one who had framed the Qin family.

But now, no matter how she tried to guess, it was useless. She couldn't even see the face of Xi Men Rui Xue anymore.

"Miss Qin, the Emperor said that if Miss Qin died, then Qin Zhiqing would definitely die as well." As if she had guessed her thoughts, that palace maid mustered up her courage and said so.

"Where's Cui Er?" Seeing that no one liked her, she was still used to Cui'er's service.

"Cui Er is injured and has been unconscious, so the two of us will take care of the lady."

No wonder Cui'er hadn't come chasing, she was indeed injured. Thinking of how it was because of her, Ruo Ruo's heart became bitter. In this world, it was hard to differentiate between good and bad. Living was truly tiring.

"Qin Zhiruo, you're awake. How boring." While staring blankly at the fluttering curtains, Su Ming walked in and said, "None of the people in this palace can understand my words. From now on, I have to learn Chinese. Ruo Ruo, tell me, can I let A-Rui teach me?"

"Alright." She didn't even know what he was talking about.

"Hey, but what about Ah Wu? I think he's not bad, so I hesitated. Ruo Ruo, who should I choose?"

The question that was asked reminded Zhiruo of the painting she had seen in the Martial Imperial Manor. Thus, she said without thinking, "I'll let Ximen Ri teach you."

"Why did you choose him?"

"Because he truly loves you." As she spoke softly, she was actually envious of him. It was such a blissful thing to have someone who truly loved you.

But she, whether it was love or hate, always had something to do with it that she could not remember.

Zhiruo stayed in the Jingyang Palace to recuperate, and he once again returned to Ximen Ruiwu's palace. Every day, he would pester Ximen Rui to teach her Chinese.

It was said that Xi Men Rui Xue was very busy right now. She left early every day and came back late. She did not know what kind of method he used to get her. Even the previous abbot obediently handed her the imperial seal.

Xi Men Rui Xue was getting busier and busier than ever. She treated the Jing Yang Palace like a hotel and would come home very late every day. However, she had already left for the imperial court very early in the morning.

That day, Zhiruo woke up after taking a nap. She was bored to death as she sat by the window and watched the flowers bloom like a brocade. However, her mood couldn't get any better.

"Miss, have some soup. You see, you've lost weight recently." Cui Er had turned for the better. She had been sent to serve her again.

Ruo Ruo subconsciously turned her head, but when she saw the cup of chicken soup that had just been stewed in Cui Er's hand, her stomach involuntarily twitched. She actually felt disgusted and pushed Cui'er away.

Cui'er hurriedly put down the soup cup in her hands, and walked out to beat her back. Ruo Ruo only stopped vomiting after a while, but her tears were already rolling in her eyes. She feebly stood up, and Cui'er ordered the palace maid to call the imperial physician.

"No need, I don't like the bowl of soup you brought over. Otherwise, I would have been perfectly fine." Her identity was that of an imperial concubine's daughter, a lowly woman who didn't even know who her father was. Everyone in the palace had long since been laughing at her, so why would they care about her life?

Having lived here for more than a month, she knew better than anyone how warm and cold this palace was.

"Don't, Miss, let the imperial physician have a good look at her. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, Cui'er won't be able to take responsibility."

She was smiling, talking about something that didn't care about her, but for someone like Xi Men Rui Xue to look at her, it was clearly for that thing.

Returning to her couch, she laid down softly. She was so lazy that she just wanted to sleep. Recently, she seemed to be especially addicted to sleep. She could even sleep for a long time if she took a nap.

The imperial physician arrived very quickly. He carefully took her wrist and felt for her pulse, his expression growing more and more solemn.

Opening her eyes, she said lightly, "If there's something you want to say, just say it." She was afraid that if she didn't die, she wouldn't be able to wear it back. She just couldn't get into those books on astronomy and geography, but she accidentally lost her watch that allowed her to travel back to this world. Otherwise, she would have a chance to wear it back now.

The imperial physician was terrified and kneeled on the ground. "This servant doesn't know whether my diagnosis is correct or not, and doesn't dare to speak nonsense. How about I ask Miss Cui'er to tell that Imperial Physician Zhang in the imperial hospital to come and treat him again. Only then can I be absolutely sure."

Cui'er did as she was told, calling the palace maid to call on Imperial Physician Zhang. The Imperial Physician from before also left the room, gently urging her, "Miss must be alright, these quacks don't know how to diagnose anything, and can't say anything even after touching for half a day. What a waste of time, I heard that Imperial Physician Zhang is an extremely capable Imperial Physician, most adept at treating the illnesses of his daughter's family.

Cui Er continued to speak, but she didn't notice that Ruo Ruo's face had changed.

Ruo Ruo couldn't stand listening any longer. It was not like she didn't understand all this. She had learned everything in her previous physiology class. She stood up and walked past Cui Er, who was still 'lecturing', and walked out of the room after a few steps.

The palace maid was so happy that she backed out easily. Ruo Ruo looked at the imperial physician sitting in the outer room, terrified. She asked coldly, "Do you think I'm pregnant?" Her monthly affairs had already dragged on for half a month's time, but she had never paid them any heed. This was because her monthly affairs were never accurate and the time interval was from one to two months, which made it impossible for her to calculate. As a result, she had never thought that her monthly affairs were not due to her pregnancy.

But now, looking at the Imperial Physician's expression, she could already guess.

The imperial physician hastened to kneel again. "Miss Qin, this servant isn't entirely sure either. I should wait for Imperial Physician Zhang to check his pulse before confirming everything."

He was clearly telling Ruo Ruo that she was pregnant.

He froze on the spot, his vision blurring as the figure of the imperial physician blurred.

She was pregnant, but this child was either Ximen Ruixue's or the beggar.

How ridiculous, at this moment she couldn't even be sure which man the child belonged to. Was it the same as her mother's?

His mother had been bestowed death by the late emperor, so he guessed that such a scene would be a scene of desolation.

Step by step, she retreated. As she placed her hand on her lower abdomen, she was even more certain that she was pregnant.

But could she have this child?

With a low chuckle, Ruo Ruo turned to the imperial physician and said, "Since you're unable to confirm that I'm pregnant, then it proves that I'm not, so this matter cannot be randomly spread. Only you know I know your guess, and I don't want a third person to know."

"This servant understands." This imperial physician had been in the palace for a few years already, so he knew what to say and what not to say.

"Then you can leave. Remember to prescribe some antiemetic medicine for me. Tell the outside world that I just ate unclean food and that I'll be fine if I'm hungry for a few days. Do you remember that?"

"This servant remembers."

He waved his hand lazily, gesturing for the imperial physician to leave, then turned and walked into the inner room. Cui'er was helping her tidy up the room, and as soon as she entered, he said, "My lady should quickly go lie down. In a while, Imperial Physician Zhang will come to take a look at my lady's illness."

"No need, I don't want to see Imperial Physician Zhang. I just haven't eaten well, that's all. I'm going to sleep for a while. Cui'er, don't let anyone disturb my rest."

She really didn't want that child anymore. Even though she had wanted to stay at that moment, when she thought about it again, even if her father didn't know who that child was … She wouldn't be happy even if she was born into this world. Wasn't she an example?

Her mother had died so tragically that her father didn't even know who she was. He smiled wryly because she no longer wanted her child to taste the taste of her pain.

She would not have a child unless it was guaranteed a happy life.

Perhaps, she was being ruthless, but in this situation, she really couldn't protect this child.

If he managed to survive this, it would be a joke. His goal would be full of sorrow.

He was calmly analyzing the situation. If he hadn't told anyone else, he believed that the imperial physician wouldn't have told him as well. It was always better to avoid unnecessary trouble in the palace and protect his own safety when necessary.

Although her blood did not contain the blood of the Qin family, she was still surnamed Qin.

But now, the Qin family had declined.

The wind blew, and autumn came. It was a refreshing breeze that blew all over her body, causing her, who had been sitting by the window for a long time, to suddenly shiver.

"Cui Er, I want to go for a walk." The lotus flower that was full of water already had a wilting taste, causing people to be filled with a dismal feeling.

Cui'er took a shawl and draped it over her body, "My lady's injuries are only getting better, my appetite has not been good these days, I just have to walk for a bit and then come back to the house."
