Chapter 299 The child is gone
Xu Yingying fell heavily to the ground, and what horrified everyone present was that bright red liquid actually flowed out from under Xu Yingying's body.
The first person to discover it was Xu Yingying's personal maid Wan'er.
Wan'er and another maid hurriedly helped Xu Yingying up. She felt her hand touching a sticky liquid.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did she was startled.
"Blood! Blood! The prince and princess are bleeding." Wan'er screamed.
As soon as these words came out, Li Siqi hurriedly walked down from his seat. His face turned pale as he looked at the blood flowing from Xu Yingying's body. He shouted in a panic, "What are you waiting for! Call the imperial physician, hurry up!"
In this way, Xu Yingying was carried by Li Siqi to a random bedroom.
Soon, all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed here.
"How is she?" Li Siqi asked the imperial physician.
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician looked at Li Siqi with a horrified expression and said, "Reporting to the Regent, the princess... the princess... her child can no longer be saved."
The imperial physician spoke with trembling lips.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Siqi's expression changed immediately, and he stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What did you say? You must be lying to me. How could my child just disappear like that?" Li Siqi said in disbelief.
"Reporting to the Regent, I really did not lie to you!" After saying that, the imperial physician immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Siqi.
"I don't believe it. Let's get someone else to check her." Li Siqi denied subconsciously.
But no matter how many doctors were changed, the result was still the same.
Xu Yingying and his child are gone.
Li Siqi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife as he looked at Xu Yingying lying unconscious on the bed.
"Check it for me. What happened? Why did he fall down out of nowhere?"
Li Siqi roared at his men.
At this time, Wan'er stepped forward cautiously and said, "Reporting to the Regent, I saw this at the place where the princess fell."
After saying that, Wan'er carefully handed the beads in her hand to Li Siqi.
Li Siqi held it in his hand and observed it carefully. He recognized at a glance that it was made of Hetian jade, which was only available in the Western Regions.
"Please ask Princess Wenwa to come here for me. I want to ask her what is going on." Li Siqi said gritting his teeth.
"As you command, Regent."
After a while, Ye Dina appeared in front of Li Siqi, and with her appeared her maid Alilan.
"I wonder what important matter the Regent has asked me to come here for?" Ye Dina asked Li Siqi curiously.
Li Siqi looked at Ye Dina and found that she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, as if the death of Xu Yingying's child had nothing to do with her. If Pei'er hadn't picked up the bead, Li Siqi might have been deceived by Ye Dina's harmless appearance.
Li Siqi was in a bad mood and was too lazy to say any unnecessary nonsense to her. He just took out the beads that Pei'er had just given him and threw them in front of Ye Dina.
"What is this? Give me an explanation. My princess stepped on this and had a miscarriage. I am no longer pregnant."
Li Siqi said to Ye Dina with gritted teeth. At this moment, Li Siqi wished he could kill Ye Dina on the spot and bury her with the child.
Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow this. Ye Dina is a princess of the Wen Wa ethnic group, and he is also the regent of Dafeng. He cannot just follow his own preferences and ideas.
When Ye Dina saw this, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly reacted and came up with a countermeasure.
Ye Dina glanced meaningfully at her personal assistant Alilan, then said slowly, "Your Highness, this bead is indeed from our Western Regions, but it was not thrown by this princess!"
At this time, Ye Dina's personal maid Alilan also realized that something was wrong. She understood that her princess's bad deeds had been discovered.
Thinking of this, Alilan felt that as a slave she needed to stand up and take responsibility for everything for her master.
As soon as Ye Dina finished speaking, her personal attendant Alilan immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. This bead is my personal bracelet. I wore it to the banquet, but it suddenly broke in the middle of the banquet. Who knew that the Regent Princess stepped on it and I fell down."
"It's all my fault. It was my careless mistake that caused the Regent Princess to have a miscarriage. If the prince is angry and wants to punish me, then punish me. I have no complaints. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with our princess from beginning to end. Our princess knows nothing."
Alilan's words completely plucked Ye Dina away.
When Ye Dina heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and felt in her heart that it was not in vain that she had raised this servant for so many years.
However, Li Siqi, who was originally preparing to question Ye Dina, didn't know what to say for a moment when he saw this. He clearly understood that all this must have been caused by Ye Dina, but he had no direct evidence in his hands now. Even if he had evidence, Ye Dina would find someone new to take the blame for her.
Thinking of this, Li Siqi was very angry, but he kept it in his heart and did not show it.
"Okay! Since it's my fault, then beat me to death and throw me into a mass grave to feed the wild dogs. I'm sure Princess Wenwa will have no objection to my way of dealing with this!"
Li Siqi looked at Ye Dina expressionlessly.
Li Siqi's answer was obviously beyond Ye Dina's expectations. She really didn't expect that Li Siqi would be so cruel today.
But now that things have come to this, what else can she do?
She could only agree, "Okay! Since I have made a mistake, I will let the Regent handle it as he wishes."
After saying this, the servant looked at Ye Dina in disbelief. She had followed Ye Dina since she was a child and it had been more than ten years now. She thought that after more than ten years of getting along, Ye Dina would develop some feelings for her and feel reluctant to leave her, not to mention that she had just taken the initiative to take the blame for her.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dina agreed to Li Siqi's execution without any hesitation, and she didn't even plead for mercy. Thinking of this, Alilan felt a little disappointed.
Alilan was now shrouded in the fear of being beaten to death. She thought Xu Yingying had lost her child and that she would at most be beaten to vent Xu Yingying's anger. However, she did not expect that Li Siqi would be so cruel as to execute her.
"Princess, Princess, you have to save me! Princess, please plead with the Regent to spare me." Alilan grabbed Yedina's clothes and begged.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dina pulled away her clothes without hesitation, and then emphasized word by word: "Since you made a mistake by accident, you should accept the punishment. Don't worry, since you have followed me for so many years, I will take good care of your family."
