Children of Loulan

Chapter 401 You lied

The imperial physician looked at Batur's grief-stricken and angry expression, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart, but he hardened his heart and continued, "Your Highness, please calm down and listen to what I have to say. The princess has been pregnant for more than four months, but this time she suffered such a great ordeal. Not only did she lose the flesh and blood in her belly, but she also hurt her own foundation. I am afraid that it will affect her offspring in the future..." At this point, the imperial physician paused for a moment, as if he couldn't bear to say those less optimistic words directly.

Batuer stared at the imperial physician in front of him with his eyes wide open and full of anger, and shouted through gnashing teeth: "You mean to say that the princess will never be able to have children again from now on? Is that right?"

The imperial physician was frightened by Batur's rage, which was like a volcanic eruption. He trembled all over, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He raised his head tremblingly, glanced at Batur who was furious, then hurriedly lowered his head and stammered, "Your Highness, please calm down... If you can take good care of your body in the future, there may be hope of getting pregnant again... But I can't guarantee that it will work. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

When Batur heard this, he understood in his heart, but his face was still terribly gloomy. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then turned to the housekeeper behind him and asked: "How is the concubine? Is the baby in her belly okay?"

The butler felt Batur's icy gaze and shuddered. He stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, the concubine had a miscarriage because of the shock, but the court doctor has seen her and said that as long as she rests for a while, she should be fine." After saying that, the butler carefully observed Batur's expression, fearing that he would say something wrong and anger the hot-tempered prince.

After listening to the butler's report, Batur's anger not only did not subside, but burned even more fiercely. He snorted coldly, "Go and bring all the maids present today. I want to ask them in person!" Then Batur strode away. He sat in the hall with cold eyes. At this time, the butler brought the maid who served the princess personally.

He stared at the maid with sharp eyes and asked in a cold tone: "Tell me what happened today? Why did the princess become like this?"

The maid's eyes had been red and swollen from crying. When she heard Batuer asking questions, she burst into tears. She sobbed and said, "Your Highness, when the concubine came to pay her respects to the princess this morning, they were talking and laughing at first, and they got along very well. But later, the concubine suddenly said that she wanted to eat the cakes made by me, so the princess asked me to go to the kitchen to prepare some for the concubine. At that time, I felt that it was inappropriate. When the concubine saw that I was hesitating, she teased the princess, saying that the princess's maid was worried about her. The princess urged me to leave again. I had no choice but to ask the nanny to come in and serve me when I left!"

At this point she burst into tears again, "But who would have thought, not long after I arrived at the kitchen, the nanny came over, and I asked her why she wasn't serving the princess, and... before the nanny could reply, we heard a cry for help from the princess, and I and the nanny immediately rushed back, and... we found that the princess had fallen to the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from her body... 呜呜呜... At that time, the concubine was also sitting on the ground, and her maid was shouting that the princess was going to harm her!" At this point, the maid couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She kept knocking her head, her forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound, and her tears gushed out like a flood. She cried, "Please understand, Your Majesty! The princess really did not murder the concubine! It was clearly the concubine who came to the door today, and she deliberately sent me away after she came. Princess... Princess is now..." At this point, she was already shaking with tears, her throat was choked with sobs, and she could hardly utter complete words. She could only sob intermittently.

But Batur seemed not to hear her crying. His face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the nanny? Bring the nanny to me quickly!" His voice was not loud, but the majesty contained in it made people dare not disobey in the slightest.

Soon, the nanny came in after hearing the noise. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt on the ground with a plop, her whole body trembling with self-blame. She cried, "Your Highness, I just went in to serve you, and the concubine suddenly said that the tea at her hand was cold, and drinking it might be bad for the fetus, so I asked me to quickly change it for a pot of hot new tea. I thought it was just a short moment, and the concubine's attitude towards the princess was always very humble and respectful, so I didn't think much about it. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen..." Before she finished speaking, the nanny was already crying like rain, and the tears kept rolling down like pearls that had broken off the string, dripping on the cold ground.

At this time, Batur slowly turned his head, looked at the butler beside him with a sharp gaze, and ordered again: "Bring the concubine's maid to me immediately!"

As soon as the maid stepped over the threshold, she fell to her knees with a plop as if she had found a life-saving straw, and then she cried to Batur with snot and tears: "My lord, you have to take care of the concubine! The princess actually tried to murder the baby in her belly. At first, the princess calmly sent away her own confidants, and when only the concubine and the servant were left in the palace, she suddenly showed a fierce look on her face, stretched out her hand and pushed the concubine to the ground! Poor concubine, she is pregnant, how can she stand such torture!"

Hearing this, the nanny who was also kneeling beside her suddenly became furious and her face flushed. She widened her eyes and pointed at the maid and scolded her, "What a bastard who talks nonsense! It's obvious that your concubine deliberately sent me away to take the opportunity to harm the princess! If the princess really wanted to harm others, why didn't she leave a few capable people to protect her? Does she think that she can fight against the two of you alone with her bulging belly and not be defeated? It's just a foolish dream!"

Facing the nanny's accusation, the concubine's maid had no intention of backing down. Instead, she stiffened her neck and argued, "Humph, who knows why the princess would act this way? Perhaps she is certain that this servant and the concubine are afraid of her status as the principal wife and dare not easily attack her! That's why she dares to be so unscrupulous and do whatever she wants!"

Seeing the other party being so unreasonable, the princess's maid was also filled with anger. She raised her voice and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense here! It is obvious that it was the concubine who took the initiative to come to the door today to pay respects to the princess, and the princess did not summon her. Besides, if the princess really intended to murder the concubine, then in the end it should be the concubine who got hurt. How could it be that the princess suffered this disaster, while the concubine was unscathed and safe? The reason behind this, I believe, will be clear as long as you think about it!"
