Chapter 244 Beauty's Scheme (6)
"Mom, I'm so hot"
"Someone, put the ice basin next to the Queen," Lu Yuan ordered.
However, this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It can cure Yan'er's temporary heat but cannot control her restless heart. Shi Yi can see what Yan'er is thinking, but according to the date, it is time for Yan'er to "give birth", so she can only endure it and continue to hold it in.
Unexpectedly, Du Yunxi gave birth prematurely.
"Princess, if Miss Yunxi gave birth..." The little palace maid ran over in a panic. From her expression, it was clear that Du Yunxi did not give birth naturally and something must have happened.
As expected by Shiyi, Du Yunxi's premature birth was not an accident, but her own fault.
After Du Yunxi and Nie Shen'er became pregnant, they both knew that they were bearing children for the Queen. However, Nie Shen'er believed that Shi Yi would save her life, so she ate and drank well every day to take care of the fetus.
Du Yunxi was different. She thought she was aware of Lu Zhi's cruel methods and worried every day whether she would be killed after giving birth to the child. But if she aborted the child, Du Yunxi felt that she might not survive the next day.
After thinking about it day and night, she finally came up with a good idea, which was to give birth to the child early. There were three pregnant women in the palace now. As long as she staggered her birth time with others, she could save her life.
Besides, she judged that the baby in her belly was a girl. Since it was a girl, it would not offend anyone, so both she and the baby would be safe.
So she put the labor-inducing drug into her own pregnancy-preserving medicine, drank it all, and gave birth to her daughter prematurely as she wished. Holding the child and feeling her own vitality, Du Yunxi smiled with satisfaction.
A few days later, Nie Shen'er and Zhou Cainv gave birth one after another. Zhou Cainv learned Du Yunxi's method, but unfortunately she was unlucky. She used too much medicine on herself and lost her life. Even her child was sick.
Nie Shen'er gave birth to a healthy prince, who was given to Yan'er and became the eldest son of the emperor and the empress. Nie Shen'er also disappeared in the palace. Du Yunxi thought that Nie Shen'er was killed, but no one knew that there was a maid named Zhi'er in the eldest princess's mansion.
Du Yunxi was still congratulating herself on her cleverness, but she did not realize that although she had given birth to a child, she did not receive any reward, and even had no name or status, and even the child did not receive any reward.
It was not until the full moon that she discovered the embarrassment. At this time, Lu Zhi came to Du Yunxi in person with a glass of wine.
"I originally thought you were a smart person, but unfortunately, your cleverness backfired."
"Empress Dowager" Du Yunxi knew that the other party was carrying poisoned wine. It seemed that she could not escape death. It was a pity for her daughter. She was still so young. Perhaps the Empress Dowager would spare her life?
"Only one of you and your daughter can stay in this palace." Lu Zhi picked up the child, her face full of love: "I don't want to kill my granddaughter, Du Yunxi, I always think that you are a smart person, you know how to choose"
"Empress Dowager, Yunxi knows. Can you let Yunxi hug the princess again?" Du Yunxi's eyes were full of sadness. After a month of living together, she was willing to give her life for her daughter.
"Of course, this is the child you gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy." Lu Zhi put the child in Du Yunxi's arms.
Soon, Du Yunxi put the child down, picked up the poisoned wine and drank it all in one gulp without leaving a word until she vomited blood and died. This action earned her daughter the identity of a princess.
