Rui Wangfei’s remark weren’t words of constion for Ning Wangfei. It was because she had be sensitive to heat since her pregnancy. However, in the residence, the servants did not allow her to drink anything cold. asionally, Rui Wang would secretly let her have a few sips to satisfy her craving.
"Some things are just really Heaven''s will." Ning Wangfei smiled bitterly and withdrew her hand.
Rui Wangfei suddenly realized that her sister-inw was referring to her pregnancy. Since Ning Wangfei became pregnant with her first child, she had followed the strict instructions of the imperial physicians and nannies in everything from clothing to diet and lifestyle.
However, despite all her efforts, she had lost all three children.
"Sister-inw, about your babies… Does eldest brother-inw have anything to do with it?" Rui Wangfei already knew everything. She was simply at a loss for words and didn’t even have the strength to scold Wen Ling. She never expected her eldest brother-inw to be that kind of person, doing that sort of thing.
Rui Wang was also shocked.
He had even locked himself in his study for three days and nights. The blow he received was not much less than the Crown Prince''s.
Everyone had a belief in their hearts, and without a doubt, Ning Wang was Rui Wang''s belief.
Now, that belief had crumbled.
Ning Wangfei shook her head, "If you mean, if he drugged me to cause a miscarriage, that''s not the case. But..."
Rui Wangfei understood what she meant. She had known about Ning Wang''s affair with Wen Ling for a while now. She endured their rtionship while carrying a pregnancy, and the intense depression ultimately resulted in premature births.
"Sister-inw, don''t be sad. You''re still young, and there is a long road ahead for you." Rui Wangfei took out a divorce letter from her sleeve and handed it to Ning Wangfei. "This is what eldest brother-inw asked us to deliver to you. If you sign and seal it, you will no longer be Ning Wangfei, and you won''t have to be implicated by him anymore."
As she mentioned this, Rui Wangfei''s heart feltplex.
She felt that her eldest brother-inw had indeed made a mistake, but she admired him for granting her sister-inw this freedom.
Her eldest brother-inw must have had feelings for her eldest sister-inw deep down, but he was blinded by hatred and self-interest, never truly recognizing his own feelings.
He thought he was just pretending to respect her, but in reality, this woman had already walked into the depths of his heart.
On the contrary, Wen Ling was just the unattainable desire of her eldest brother-inw during his youth, a testament to his desire to conquer and assert control.
Ning Wangfei looked at the sealed divorce letter and didn''t immediately open it. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "Did you know, Qianqian? When I first met him at the age of thirteen, I was attracted to his appearance and demeanor. I''ve loved this man for eleven years. He prefers women who are well-educated and literate, so even though I despise reading, I always pretended to be what he liked. I''ve also secretly thought that I could never match Wen Ling in terms of appearance, but at least in terms of learning, I could try not to lose to her too much."
Rui Wangfei eximed angrily, "Sister-inw, that woman is not even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as you!"
"Talking about these things now is meaningless." Ning Wangfei smiled and said to Rui Wangfei, "Don''t call me sister-inw anymore. I’m no longer part of the imperial family."
It had nothing to do with the divorce letter, it was because Qin Chuhan was no longer an imperial prince.
"Sister-inw..." Rui Wangfei couldn''t help but call her that again.
Ning Wangfei, or to be precise, she should be called Chu Yue now.
Chu Yue said to Rui Wangfei, "Go back. It’s bad luck to stay here."
Rui Wangfei looked at her with concern, "Imperial father said you could stay longer."
Chu Yue smiled nonchntly, "It’s not like I have nowhere else to go."
Rui Wangfei hesitantly said, "Sister-inw... I mean, Big Sister Chu... Ah, it''s awkward. Not calling you sister-inw feels strange."
Chu Yue replied, "Then just call me that. It''s just an address."
"Why don''t you move to Rui Wang Residence?" Rui Wangfei suggested.
She had mentioned this to Rui Wang on their way here, and Rui Wang had no objections.
However, Rui Wang guessed that Chu Yue wouldn''t agree. He didn''t say it in front of his wife because he was afraid she might think he was being stingy.
Chu Yue shook her head, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I have somewhere else to go. Oh, by the way,st time Young Miss Gu examined me, she identally left something behind. Could you please return it to her?"
"Of course."
After leaving the house, Rui Wangfei''s eyes were red.
Rui Wang felt sorry for her but didn''t know how tofort her.
He, too, was deeply affected by the recent events, but luckily he had Qianqian and their unborn child by his side. Otherwise, he might not have known how to carry on.
The two of them visited the medical hall and Rui Wangfei personally handed the brocade box that Chu Yue had given her to Gu Jiao.
"Sister-inw said it was something you identally left behind during herst examination."
Gu Jiao nodded, "I see. Thank you."
After Rui Wangfei and Rui Wang left, Gu Jiao opened the brocade box.
Inside the boxy a death-exemption token.
About Ning Wang''s case, Gu Jiao had prepared for the worst and gave a death-exemption token to Ning Wangfei in the hope of rescuing her from the vortex.
Of course, Gu Jiao also considered the possibility that Ning Wangfei might use the token to save Ning Wang.
As a result, she chose neither path.
Whether or not Ning Wangfei signed the divorce letter was unclear. On the second day after Ning Wang''s confinement, she disappeared from the capital as well.
......
"Let go of me! Let me go! I want to see the Crown Prince!"
"You still want to see the Crown Prince? Gag her!"
At Eunuch Su''smand, two strong pce maids immediately pinned Wen Ling to the ground and stuffed a cloth into her mouth.
She couldn''t scream anymore and could only make faint muffled sounds.
Eunuch Su raised his horsetail whisk and said, "The Empress has issued an order. The Crown Princess is afflicted with a serious illness and must go to the temporary imperial residence for treatment immediately."
Wen Ling shook her head desperately.
She wasn''t sick!
She didn''t want to go to the temporary imperial residence for treatment!
Everyone understood what the oue of such "treatment" in the temporary imperial residence would be.
In less than a year or so, she would die of an "incurable illness" there!
It could be said that Empress Xiao had gone to great lengths to cover up for the Crown Prince. Ning Wang was just recently deposed, if the Crown Princess were to be punished with some kind of charge at this juncture, it could easily lead to spections.
The only excuse that couldn''t be easily seen through was her being ill.
Wen Ling was roughly dragged into a carriage.
Just before the carriage she was in left the pce, Gu Jiao was coincidentallying out of the imperial pce as well. Eunuch Su and the others quickly bowed respectfully to Gu Jiao and greeted, "Physician Gu!"
Wen Ling was pinned to the floor of the carriage in a miserable state, where was there even half a trace of her former glory?
She red fiercely at Gu Jiao as she passed by.
Are you satisfied now?
You''ve destroyed everything I carefully built up. You''ve achieved your goal!
However, Gu Jiao only gave her a casual nce, recognizing her but showing no trace of pride or triumph.
She looked at her calmly as if she were observing an unrted passerby. Even the details that once angered Gu Jiao seemed to have long been cast aside by her.
It was at this moment that Wen Ling seemed to suddenly realize that Gu Jiao wasn''t just pretending to be aloof. She truly never took her seriously.
It wasn''t due to Gu Jiao''s kindness or tolerance. It was purely because Wen Ling had never entered Gu Jiao’s eyes.
Gu Jiao had long stood at a height beyond her reach, like a majestic figure gazing at the heavens. How could she bother with whether there were little insects beneath her feet?
This analogy might be a bit exaggerated, but Gu Jiao truly had never cared about Wen Ling.
Wen Ling didn''t understand. What exactly was sheckingpared to Gu Jiao?
Apart from not having medical skills, in what other aspect did she lose to Gu Jiao?
Not to mention, she possessed stunning beauty, while Gu Jiao had a face that was far from pleasing to the eye...
Wasn''t Gu Jiao at least a bit self-conscious?
Gu Jiao walked out of the imperial pce with confident strides, not just without self-consciousness, but even somewhat... arrogant. <h4>Raz P.''s Thoughts</h4>
