221 A woman in love is always wicked Part II

“Let her go.”

The maids were going to hold Bai Hua again but were stopped by Bai Yu. She brushed her tousled hair away from her face. Under her wicked exterior, she tried to suppress her burst of emotion. She moved forward, approaching the genius doctor who had gone mad, wailed, screamed, and became suspicious of everyone around her.

“Go away! You hurt my baby! You’re taking him away! Aaaaahh!”

Bai Yu ignored Bai Hua’s behavior. She grabbed the swinging arms and pulled the other person closer before raising her other hand. With full force, she slapped the face that had no trace of its former beauty left.

Slap!

Bai Hua’s face was turned by Bai Yu’s slap.

“You!”

Slap! The other cheek was hit as Bai Hua was going to speak.

Bai Yu did not let the other person say another word. She let Bai Hua go and pointed at her. Then, she said in their mother tongue. “Pull yourself together, Padma!”

.....

Bang!

The familiar name effectively pulled Bai Hua’s senses back to her. The sound of thunder silenced the confusion around them.

“If you don’t stop acting crazy, then you’ll not only lose him. You will lose even yourself!” She panted, out of breath from yelling at the top of her voice and using her strength to struggle against Bai Hua from the start.

“I…” Bai Hua closed her eyes as tears fell. “I’ve lost him.”

“What is Ouyang Mingxian to you then?!” Bai Yu chose to use the man’s name to call back Bai Hua’s sense further. “You’re going crazy. You’re trying to commit suicide. Do you not care about how Ouyang Mingxian will feel when he comes back and sees your lifeless body? Don’t you know how that feels, more than anyone?”

Bai Hua said nothing in return. She only wept, her shoulders trembling.

Bai Yu nodded to Bai Hua’s two maids, telling them to help their mistress back to bed. Bai Hua obediently followed their lead. Bai Yu sat down on the edge of the bed and continued in the Da Yang’s language. “The first thing you need to do is take care of your body.”

“I’m sorry…”

“I know.”

Bai Yu said solemnly as she nudged Bai Hua to lie down. Chu Jiaoxin was standing close. No one dared to say anything when they saw that only Bai Yu could talk to Bai Hua.

“You’re still young and healthy. If you can get through today, he’ll come back to you someday.”

“He’ll come back?” The current Bai Hua was no different from a hopeful child. She was vastly different from how crazed she acted a while before. Seeing so, Bai Yu was further gripped by pity for the heroine who could not escape her fate.

“I’ll pray for him to return.” Bai Yu did not make a promise. She knew that the possibility could only be decided by fate.

“I’ll pray for him as well.” Chu Jiaoxin silently complimented Bai Yu’s reply. She herself wanted to help the pitiful woman as well. Bai Hua’s miscarriage was partly her fault as ruler of the palace.

“Me too, Your Highness.”

“Me as well, Your Highness.”

The royal maids all uttered heartfelt agreement, even though Bai Hua was not their mistress.

Hearing their reassurance, Bai Hua finally closed her eyes. When her breath became regular, as a sleeping person should, Bai Yu carefully moved to stand up next to Chu Jiaoxin. She watched the figure on the bed with mixed feelings.

This was the woman this body loathed.

This was the woman whose karma intertwined with hers over countless lives.

This was the woman who had lost her flesh and blood.

This was the woman whom she had, in a past life, hurt with her own hands.

“Ugh…”

A pang attacked Bai Yu’s heart. She held the left side of her chest as her legs gave out beneath her. Fortunately, Chu Jiaoxin caught her before she hit the floor. Seeing Bai Yu’s face suddenly and mysteriously turn pale, she slowly helped the other woman sit down on the floor.

“Your Majesty!” Xiao Xi and Xiao Chang raised their voices in panic. They had to quickly cover their mouths when Bai Yu glared at them in a gesture, telling them to control their volume.

“Ah…” The sharp pain slowly faded, leaving a smile on the corner of her mouth. Bai Yu did not expect herself to feel such emotion during a time like this.

The feeling of the late fate happened today. Her eyes were fixed on Bai Hua’s frail and pallid figure. Her smile widened. Oh, how I enjoy seeing you in this state!

“Make way for the Empress Dowager.”

The announcement echoed throughout Bai Hua’s palace. Bai Yu’s eyes did not leave the palace owner’s body despite the arrival of a higher-ranked woman. Her attention was focused on the pathetic and pitiful Bai Hua. She did not notice that Empress Dowager Wei had brought a group of soldiers with her.

“Soldiers! Arrest her.”

Tens of palace soldiers rushed forward to surround Xiao Chang. Bai Yu watched in confusion as her personal maid was being restrained.

“What is this about, mother?”

Bai Yu immediately asked. She did not curtsy to greet the newcomer, not when her maid was being arrested by the order of this woman. How could she care about formality in this situation?

“Ask her yourself, Empress.”

Bai Yu turned to her trusted person. “What does that mean, Xiao Chang?”

“I brewed the tonic as usual. But after the second consort drank it, she coughed blood…”

“You…” Bai Yu’s eyes widened.

Xiao Chang was the one who made Bai Hua miscarry? 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

No! Something must be wrong!

“Your Majesty, I did not do it.”

“You dare lie in front of aijia?” Empress Dowager Wei glanced at the lowly maid. “Taizi Fei.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chu Jiaoxin replied calmly.

“Tell aijia what happened.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Chu Jiaoxin cast a quick glance toward Bai Yu before she started recounting. “Bai Hua was preparing to drink the tonic and retire to bed as usual. This medicine was given by the Empress, and Xiao Chang was the one responsible for bringing it here. However, shortly after she drank it, Bai Hua started bleeding and coughing up blood. Then, she lost the child.”

Bai Yu felt her senses flicker for a moment.

“Your Majesty, I did not do it.” Xiao Chang insisted.

Empress Dowager Wei sneered. “How could a servant like you dare to do so? Say it! Who ordered you?”

The words that Bai Yu had heard once before crashed into her. The first day she came to this world, this senior woman was saying the same thing to Bai Hua’s servant. Yet today, she was saying it to her maid…

“Is Mother certain that my tonic is the cause?” Bai Yu raised her chin as she tried to maintain her calmness.

She did not do it. And she did not order her maid to do it. Thus, Bai Yu would never admit and allow fate to repeat itself again!

“If it isn’t you, then who else could it be?” The hand that was wearing sharp finger guards pointed at Bai Yu. “Ming-er’s child might become an obstacle to your child in the future. That’s why you ordered your maid to commit the transgression. To hurt the blood of the royal family!”

As soon as the accusation was uttered, silence fell upon the palace with suffocating pressure. Second Consort Bai miscarried because of Empress Bai’s doing? Empress Bai, who had just comforted the consort, her sister, until she fell asleep?

Was that true?

“Heh.” Bai Yu chuckled, even though she was locked in by Empress Dowager Wei’s deduction. “How laughable.”

The laugh from the accused woman was not loud but could be clearly heard by everyone within the small palace, as all were caught in silence. Her voice was enchantingly sweet while also frightening, like poison coated in enticing honey.

“The royal family has just lost an heir, yet you can still laugh. What a cruel woman!”
