Chapter 760 Confinement (1/2)

However, Ning Qian didn't hear the answer from Xia Huanyu. She only felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck and lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, She was laying on the bed in Xiangzhu Palace. It seemed to be very late in the afternoon, and the light outside the window was a little dim.

”Qian Xin.” Ning Qian's heart sank. She called loudly while thinking, 'Why didn't Xia Huanyu kill me to keep my mouth shut? He could just say that I died of a miscarriage and no one would doubt it.'

As footsteps faintly came from the door of the hall, Ning Qian frowned and became alert. It was not Qian Xin, but a kung fu master.

The door curtain was opened, and a maid came in. She stood respectfully in front of the bed and said, ”Your Highness, Qian Xin has been transferred to another palace. Your Highness just lost your baby and are not in good health. His Majesty sent me to take care of you. My name is Qing Dai.”

Ning Qian looked carefully at the maid standing beside the bed. After a long silence, she said softly, ”, Qing Dai, the name sounds good.”

Qing Dai's face was cold and unmoved. She just lowered her head and said, ”Thank you for your praise, Your Highness.”

Ning Qian withdrew her gaze calmly, ”Has His Majesty said how long I need to rest?”

Qing Dai's voice came, ”His Majesty didn't order that. But Your Highness definitely have to recuperate for a long time after a miscarriage, otherwise you might suffer from lingering effect. Your Highness at least need a routine confinement for recovery.

A routine confinement? Ning Qian curled up her lips and thought that it would be one and half months.

She fainted in Weiyang Palace. And when she woke up, she had clearly heard Xia Huanyu questioning the Empress. It seemed the empress would have a hard time.

Did Xia Huanyu use her as a tool to trick the Empress?

Ning Qian slowly raised the corners of her mouth. Her purpose and the order of the eldest princess were exactly the same, which saved her a lot of trouble. She finally understood why Xia Huanyu had spared no effort to promote her to a high position and even gave her the seal. The higher her position was and the more favored she was, and the more dangerous the Empress would be.

Then the Su clan behind the Empress would be involved. His Majesty is really ambitious.

And Ning Qian heard that all the evidences show that the Empress was the most likely suspect of the stone tablet case. So the Empress had been involved in framing Lady Shu and Prince Qi, and murdering her and her unborn child. She would be doomed this time.

Qing Dai looked at Ning Qian and frowned. She didn't know why this beautiful woman was still so happy at this time. She didn't seem to be afraid at all.

”I'm a little hungry. Go and get some food.” Ning Qian turned to look at Qing Dai. She thought for a while and added, ”I am not in good condition after the miscarriage. I want some red bean soup and steam fish. It's better to be light-favored.”
