In the middle of the night, after curfew, Zhou Caiwei woke up from a coma after having been in pain all day.
Yesterday, the Marquis of Guangping ignored her pregnancy and came around, causing her lower body to suddenly turn red around Yinshi this morning, and the pain seemed to be torn apart. Fortunately, the curfew was about to be lifted, and Shang went out to find a doctor in time to save her child.
But she was confused all day because of this, with little energy to think about things. She didn't know how she spent this thrilling day. Fortunately, the fetus in her belly was saved.
Mr. Shang was lying next to her bed and taking a nap. The candles in the room were about to burn out and the candlelight was weak.
Zhou Caiwei sat upright despite the pain. She was terribly thirsty. She pushed Shang and said, "Sister Shang, I want to drink water."
Shang woke up with a start and regained consciousness in a few moments. He quickly got up to find water for Zhou Caiwei. When he reached for the kettle, his hand was retracted by the ice:
"Girl, please wait a moment. The water in the pot is completely cold. I will boil another pot for you."
This is not someone she can neglect. After all, she is the woman who is dearest to the Marquis and cannot allow her to neglect her at all.
Zhou Caiwei said palely: "It's troublesome."
When Mrs. Shang boiled a pot of boiling water and brought it into her room, the kettle was still steaming with white steam. Mrs. Shang thoughtfully changed the candlesticks in the room, and the room was suddenly much brighter.
By candlelight, Zhou Caiwei asked Shang as usual: "Apart from the doctor, is there anyone else who comes to visit today?"
Shang took out the rouge box that had been hidden for a day and handed it to Zhou Caiwei respectfully: "The little girl from Yong'an Lane came to deliver something again, but you were not awake when she came, so I will accept it for you for the time being."
It seemed that the third lady had something to say to her.
Zhou Caiwei looked suspicious: "You haven't opened it and read it, have you?"
Shang hurriedly waved his hands: "Oh my, even if I borrow eight hundred courages, I will not dare to take your things privately."
Zhou Caiwei said aggrievedly: "Sister Shang has misunderstood. I am afraid that my affair with the Marquis will be exposed, so I am on guard at all times. As you know, my identity cannot be revealed to the public..."
As she spoke, she opened the rouge box and saw a small bulge in the flat rouge paste. She pinched the bulging corner with her fingertips, lifted it gently, unfolded it and took a closer look. There was a sesame seed inside. Big and small "escape" characters.
Zhou Caiwei's face became increasingly pale. Shang still didn't understand what was going on, so she asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"
"Sister Shang, this water is cooling too slowly. I'm thirsty." Zhou Caiwei rolled the piece of paper into a small ball and secretly stuffed it into the seam of the bed. "You can go to the kitchen and get two small bowls to dry. It will cool down a little." Hurry up."
Mr. Shang slapped his head and said, "My memory! The girl is still thoughtful. Wait a moment, girl. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Zhou Caiwei smiled and said nothing. After Shang walked away, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from the bedside cabinet, got to the ground with difficulty, opened the lid of the kettle, and shook the powder into the pot.
Mrs. Shang quickly returned to the house. Zhou Caiwei had already sat back on the bed. She did not notice anything unusual about the kettle.
Following the method just mentioned by Zhou Caiwei, she poured the water from the pot into the small bowl and poured it repeatedly. After a while, the water became warm. Shang handed the bowl to Zhou Caiwei: "Girl, who can drink the water?"
Zhou Caiwei took the bowl and pointed to another bowl of water: "Sister Shang, please get up and serve me in the middle of the night. The earth dragon is burning, so you can take a sip."
When she said this, Shang did feel a little thirsty.
This courtyard is inhabited by common people, and there were no floor dragons before. It was because the Marquis felt sorry for Miss Zhou that he ordered people to drastically renovate the floor. Now that the floor dragons are burned, the living space is no worse than the houses of wealthy families.
Mrs. Shang just thought Zhou Caiwei cared about her and drank all the water in a few seconds.
Zhou Caiwei was silently counting the time in her heart. In less than half a cup of tea, Shang was snoring.
"Tsk, who is snoring so loudly, who can still sleep?"
Zhou Caiwei lifted the quilt, ignoring the pain in her lower abdomen, and started packing her bags to escape. The curfew would be lifted in an hour or two, and she would take the earliest carriage out of Xijing to completely escape this place of right and wrong!
As early as the very beginning, Zhu Siying had arranged an escape route for her. On the day of the incident, she only had to take a carriage to Yizhou, where there was a whole house and a lot of money waiting for her.
The crowing of cocks in Yong'an Lane was heard one after another. Whether it was because of the high mental tension, the pain in Zhou Caiwei's lower abdomen disappeared without a trace. At the critical moment of life and death, what is this pain compared to life?
…
As soon as it got light, Zhou Caiwei opened the door and walked into the courtyard, looking back at the house for the last time.
Setting fire was the best way to get the golden cicada out of its shell, but she looked at the sleeping Shang and thought that Shang had done his best for her during this period, so she softened her mind.
Zhou Caiwei was only focused on escaping and did not notice the broken jade hidden in the dark.
She walked towards the courtyard gate with a smile, also walking towards her worry-free future.
Broiyu had already taken out the silver needle and aimed it at her fatal spot, slowly accumulating power.
The moment Zhou Caiwei opened the door, the silver needle in Suiyu's hand flew out towards her, and at the same time the eldest princess's face suddenly appeared in her sight!
"you are?"
Zhou Caiwei opened her mouth and exclaimed, Zhaohua was now wearing Chinese clothes and was incompatible with this civilian alley.
Zhou Caiwei cannot be allowed to die in front of Zhaohua.
Broken Jade immediately flew out a second silver needle, accurately caught up with the previous one, and abruptly cut the previous one into two pieces.
Zhaohua walked directly into the courtyard, his voice cold: "Come in and talk."
Zhou Caiwei knew that a disaster was approaching and there was no way to avoid it, so she lowered her head and walked back into the hospital.
Since the eldest princess appeared here, it meant that there were countless secret guards around her. Suiyu was not in a hurry to leave and secretly observed the situation between Zhaohua and Zhou Caiwei.
Zhaohua lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Caiwei's belly: "How many months has it been?"
Zhou Caiwei answered truthfully: "Four months."
Zhaohua's eyes widened: "Four months?"
Zhou Caiwei: "Exactly, the child in the belly of a common girl is not of the marquis' blood, so the eldest princess can rest assured."
Zhaohua was confused by Zhou Caiwei. She murmured: "Four months, four months..."
Zhou Caiwei was completely relaxed at the moment. If the eldest princess really wanted to take her life, how could she sit down and talk to her calmly?
"Yes, the child in the girl's belly is from the blood of a noble gentleman with an upright appearance in Xijing. The girl thought of some ways to borrow a seed from him." Zhou Caiwei stroked her belly, "A woman must have someone to live in this world. A child is a companion, and it doesn’t matter whether the child has a father or not.”
Zhaohua was also pregnant. After careful observation, he found that Zhou Caiwei's belly was indeed slightly more protruding than that of an ordinary woman in three months.
"You think it through." Zhaohua suddenly felt some respect for Zhou Caiwei. She looked at Zhou Caiwei's luggage and asked, "Have you thought about what kind of explanation you should give me regarding the matter between you and the Marquis?"
Zhou Caiwei smiled and said: "Excuse me? The daughter of the people doesn't know what kind of excuse to give to the princess, but she has something to tell the princess. When the Marquis came to see me the day before yesterday, he knew that I was pregnant, but when he heard that my fetal condition was stable , and ignored me and dragged me to have sex, so much so that I almost lost my child when I saw it yesterday."
"The princess wants to be killed, but the daughter of the people has no complaints. It's just that without Zhou Caiwei, Li Caiwei and Zhang Caiwei will still appear in front of the Marquis, and the Marquis will still focus on his happiness."
