Chapter 331 The child was saved
Zhao Haoxuan felt distressed upon seeing this, and immediately held her in his arms, comforting her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything is over."
After hearing this, Gou Chunmei's face turned extremely ugly and she stepped back in fear.
"No, how could it be her? She has such a big wound on her face, she must have a scar, and your face is so fair. So, you lied to me, she must have died a long time ago, right?"
Wang Xinyao sneered and took out a red bellyband from her sleeve: "You asked me to wash this back then, and I didn't have time to return it to you.
The embroidery above contains an inscription written by Madam Gou to her daughter. Madam Gou's embroidery is unique and no one in the entire Xia Kingdom can imitate it.
Besides, there must have been a midwife and servants present when you were born. Did you think no one knew your background, so you didn't have time to silence them?"
Gou Chunmei trembled slightly after hearing this, but she still said stubbornly, "Even so, what can you do? I am now the Crown Princess, what can you do to me?"
"Gou Chunmei, you've committed such a heinous crime, yet you still attempt to deceive your superiors and subordinates." Zhao Haoxuan snorted coldly, "Tell me, why did you pretend to be the Miao princess? Who instructed you to do this?"
"No, no..." Gou Chunmei's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her legs went soft, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes full of fear and despair.
She knew that once the truth came to light, everything she had would be gone in an instant.
"Tell me, who instructed you to impersonate the princess of Miao?" Zhao Haoxuan's voice sounded again.
Gou Chunmei closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face, but she quickly calmed down.
She immediately opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I am Gou Chunmei. Have you forgotten? I am your favorite Crown Princess."
"Damn it! How dare you use your charm on me at this hour!" Zhao Haoxuan was furious and barked an order. "Come here, give Gou Chunmei thirty lashes of the cane first. After I report this to my father, I will immediately depose her from the position of Crown Princess."
"No, Your Highness, you can't do this to me. I did this because I love you too much!"
Gou Chunmei tried to save the situation with tears in her eyes.
She never dreamed that the charm she was proud of would fail again.
Wang Xinyao walked up to her, looked down at her, and said coldly, "Gou Chunmei, you should pay a heavy price for what you have done."
At this time, the guards had heard the noise and were about to drag Gou Chunmei out for execution.
Just as the guard was about to take action, Gou Chunmei suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Wang Xinyao viciously with lightning speed.
Zhao Haoxuan's eyes widened with anger as he shouted, "How dare you!"
He flashed and quickly stood in front of Wang Xinyao, and at the same time, he swung out a palm and hit Gou Chunmei hard.
Gou Chunmei was hit by this palm and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground, with bright red blood instantly flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"You are so cruel and ruthless. It seems that this punishment of thirty lashes is too light." Zhao Haoxuan looked at Gou Chunmei coldly, his eyes full of disgust and anger: "Drag her away and give her fifty lashes!"
"No, Your Highness, you can't do this to me!" Gou Chunmei collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, crying out in despair, "I'm pregnant with your child!"
The guards who were about to take action stopped abruptly when they heard this, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
When Wang Xinyao heard this, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. She felt as if several thunderbolts exploded above her head. She was overwhelmed by the huge shock and pain and stood there in a daze.
Is she really pregnant?
This thought kept circling in Wang Xinyao's mind, making her dizzy and almost unable to stand.
Gou Chunmei's face was instantly filled with pain, and she began to scream hysterically: "It hurts, it hurts, my stomach..."
The shrill cry echoed in the silent air.
Everyone had a cold expression on their faces, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance, and they had no idea what she was up to.
"Xinyao, please!" Gou Chunmei saw Wang Xinyao and felt like she had grabbed a lifeline. "For the sake of our friendship, please save my child..."
Deep in her heart, a firm voice always echoed, telling her that she must protect the child no matter what.
She believed that this was the continuation of her bloodline with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no love for her, with this child in the future, she might have a glimmer of hope.
"Xinyao, I was wrong before. I was wrong!" Gou Chunmei cried and crawled over from the ground with difficulty.
She grabbed Wang Xinyao's trouser legs tightly and cried, "Please, you must save my child..."
Wang Xinyao looked at Gou Chunmei, and her look of pain did not seem to be fake.
At this time, blood was already flowing down Gou Chunmei's legs.
Wang Xinyao's heart felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles, and the pain spread throughout her body.
If I don't rescue the child, I'm afraid the child will really die.
This child...is it really Zhao Haoxuan's?
Were they really together that night?
She was filled with sorrow and even considered leaving.
Zhao Haoxuan stood aside, looking at Wang Xinyao's heartbroken expression. He was overwhelmed by regret and self-blame, and wished he could end his life immediately.
That period of memory was blank. He couldn't remember whether he had slept with Gou Chunmei or not, so naturally he couldn't confirm the child's background.
"Xinyao, I'm sorry, please don't be like this..." Zhao Haoxuan was full of guilt and kept murmuring apologies in Wang Xinyao's ear, his voice full of pain and helplessness.
Gou Chunmei's cries for help became weaker and weaker, her breathing became increasingly weaker, and she was on the verge of falling into a coma.
Even if the adults are wrong, the children are innocent.
Wang Xinyao was struggling fiercely between pain and conscience, and was suffering every minute and every second.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Everyone get out!" Her voice was cold as ice, revealing unquestionable majesty. Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help shivering when he heard it.
"Thank you, Xinyao..."
Gou Chunmei used up her last bit of strength and weakly uttered these words, then closed her eyes and completely fainted.
After everyone left the room, Wang Xinyao suppressed her inner pain and began to treat Gou Chunmei.
She carefully checked Gou Chunmei's physical condition, her hands moving skillfully and steadily.
Time passed by minute by minute, and sweat dripped from her forehead.
Finally, after an intense rescue effort, Gou Chunmei's condition stabilized and the child was saved.
