The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 261 Concubine Yu wakes up

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the Fifth Prince just knelt there straight. No one tried to persuade him, and naturally no one cared about him.

Big raindrops hit his head. Yongqi's mind was blank. His only thought was that his mother must not die.

He couldn't be a motherless child.

As for marrying Xiaoyanzi or Xinrong, everything seems less important at this moment in the face of my mother's life.

If Xiaoyanzi knew his current situation, she would forgive him.

Yongqi comforted himself. At this moment, he was the most helpless person in the world.

The rain kept hitting his head and face, which was a bit painful, but the Fifth Prince was already numb from being soaked.

He seems to have a fever. Now his body is hot and cold, which I think is a sign of fever.

After a period of severe pain, his legs were now numb.

Mother, please wake up soon.

Yongqi thought that if his mother didn't wake up, he would not be able to hold on any longer.

At this moment, Yongqi didn't want to get up, but he simply couldn't get up. He had no strength left in his body.

He has forgotten the resolution he made a few days ago.

There are still two days left, and Yongqi has been feeling like he is living in a year during these three days.

Whenever someone came to see Concubine Yu's condition, the Fifth Prince felt that they were looking at him with contempt.

It seemed as if everyone was saying: Look, that is the unfilial son who pushed his mother to death, and he is still kneeling here. If Concubine Yu does not wake up, he will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies.

Yongqi now only hoped that time would pass faster and faster, ideally on the fifth day, when his mother would open her eyes and say to him, "Son, I don't blame you."

In this way, Yongqi would not be overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt, and would not have to live in the contempt and condemnation of others.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at the rain and sighed softly, "What a sin! Is this a punishment from heaven?"

When Jingyan heard this, he curled his lips secretly. If he really wanted to be punished, he should be struck to death by lightning.

The time that the old Buddha spends chanting scriptures and praying for blessings has obviously increased in recent days.

Qing'er was afraid that the old Buddha would overthink things, so she said softly, "Old Buddha, perhaps God is helping Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince is very filial. If Concubine Yu can sense it, she will definitely wake up."

The old lady who was originally lamenting smiled helplessly when she heard Qing'er's slightly ambiguous words.

She reached out and tapped Qing'er's forehead. "Girl, ever since you married that bastard Yongheng, your mouth has become quite vicious. Who dares to say that bastard Yongqi is filial now?"

Jing Yan laughed mercilessly: "Master Buddha, my sister-in-law has not been led astray, her true colors have been revealed."

The old man smiled and responded, "Yeah, I think so too."

Nanny Fang went to inquire about the news and came back, "Old Buddha, everything is still the same in Yonghe Palace. But I heard that the Fifth Prince hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days. Is he not well?"

The old lady folded her Buddhist beads in her hand and pondered, "If Concubine Yu really can't wake up, can Yongqi really kneel down forever?"

It's only been three days, and he deserves the punishment of being forced to kneel. If he is willing to kneel on his own initiative, it means he still has some conscience and is not hopeless.

Since the Empress Dowager said so, Nanny Fang also understood what she meant.

The Empress Dowager was actually very angry about Concubine Yu's hanging.

But after knowing what happened, the Empress Dowager could no longer be angry with Concubine Yu. She thought that Concubine Yu was forced into a desperate situation and acted impulsively. Could it be that Concubine Yu's mother's family would really be implicated?

That would make the royal family seem too inhumane.

But wrong is wrong, and someone has to take responsibility.

The Fifth Prince is the main culprit and he deserves to bear all this.

It’s just a pity for Xinrong. How could he be so stubborn?

"When the rain stops, you two can go to Yonghe Palace on my behalf to visit Concubine Yu, and let Xinrong have some time to dine at Cining Palace."

The Empress Dowager had to pay attention to Xinrong, and some things had to be made clear to her. After all, it was she who agreed to the marriage.

Yongqi is completely ruined now, and Xinrong shouldn't suffer with him.

The rain didn't stop until the afternoon, and the two planned to bring Xinrong back for dinner.

It was just a coincidence that as soon as I reached the gate of Yonghe Palace, I heard a lot of commotion inside.

It wasn't at all as dead silent as Nanny Fang had described.

Jing Yan whispered, "It's over. Nothing's going to happen, right?"

The two looked at each other and quickened their pace.

He happened to meet the young eunuch who went to ask the imperial physician. Jingyan stopped the person and asked him a question, only to find out that it was the Fifth Prince who had fainted.

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Fifth Prince, then it’s okay.

Cai Lian was in the yard directing people to get cold water for the Fifth Prince to cool him down. When she saw the two people come in, she hurried forward to greet them.

"My servant Cailian greets Princess Jingyan, the Crown Prince's wife."

Without waiting for Jingyan to speak, Xinrong rushed out excitedly and shouted, "Cai Lian, come quickly! The Queen is awake!"

Cai Lian's face lit up with joy, and she no longer cared about the Fifth Prince, and hurried towards Concubine Yu's bedroom.

"Go and get Doctor Chang quickly." Qing'er gave an order and walked in with Jingyan.

Xinrong stood at the door and asked quietly, "Why are you here?"

"We came in the name of the Empress Dowager to check on the condition of Concubine Yu. We didn't expect to find her awake just in time."

Concubine Yu had just woken up and didn't expect so many people to gather around her bed. She looked around but didn't see Yongqi.

In an instant, huge disappointment swept over me.

Her neck was swollen and painful from being hanged, and she could only speak in a low voice.

"Where is Yongqi?"

When they heard that the first thing Concubine Yu did after waking up was to ask about her son, whom she cared about the most, they felt that it was expected, but were also a little speechless.

It was Xinrong who explained, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince fainted from excessive grief. He will be able to see you when he wakes up."

Upon hearing that the Fifth Prince was still in Yonghe Palace, Concubine Yu felt relieved and turned her attention to Jingyan and Qing'er.

Qing'er smiled and said, "Empress Yu, the Empress Dowager was very worried and sent us to check on you on her behalf. Now that you're awake, we have good news to tell you when we return."

Hearing that the Empress Dowager still cared about her, tears welled up in Concubine Yu's eyes.

She has been in a coma these days and can hear people talking outside.

She seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, she saw Concubine Yu taking care of young Yongqi when she was young. How happy they were as mother and son at that time.

Little Yongqi is both smart and well-behaved, and is her entire spiritual support.

The dream was so happy that she didn't want to wake up.

It’s not that she couldn’t hear Yongqi’s cries outside, and Xinrong Cailian’s constant calls, but none of that could compare to the happiness of being with her youngest son.

Just now, she woke up from her dream and her Yongqi suddenly disappeared. She couldn't find Yongqi and woke up in panic.

Concubine Yu is still feeling a little lost now.

She and Yongqi can never go back to their happy times.
