CHAPTER 609: CHAPTER 196: LINGERING ILLNESS_4

Ye Qichi could fully imagine.

How painful it must have been for Xie Ruotong when she suffered a miscarriage.

The immense physical pain she bore.

And how excruciating it must have been to give up her own flesh and blood.

"The child..." Xie Ruotong looked at Ye Qichi.

"Naturally, it’s gone," Ye Qichi replied.

Xie Ruotong slightly pursed her lips.

It seemed, that she was also resigned.

To completely let go of everything from the past.

Now, she harbored only hatred.

"Moreover..." Ye Qichi hesitated to speak.

Xie Ruotong looked at her.

Ye Qichi did not want to tell Xie Ruotong, especially when she was this weak.

But she felt there was no need to hide it.

Xie Ruotong had more endurance than she had expected.

She said, "In the future, it might not be easy for you to conceive again."

The severe bleeding had ultimately affected her uterus greatly.

Medical resources were scarce in ancient times.

There was no way to treat her fully.

Xie Ruotong, however, suddenly smiled.

There was no sadness.

It showed how little she cared about her own body to remain so indifferent.

She said, "Consider it compensation to the child."

Ye Qichi felt a pain in her chest.

The moment Xie Ruotong decided to ruthlessly abort the child, she was enduring great physical and mental torment.

To such an extent that she killed her own flesh and blood.

"Just focus on recuperating for now," Ye Qichi did not urge further.

After all, Xie Ruotong’s current physical condition was as it was.

In the future.

Who can say what the future holds.

The only thing to do now is to first recover.

Nothing else is important right now.

"How did you come to Song Residence to save me?" Xie Ruotong suddenly asked.

Ye Qichi pursed her lips and said, "It was Song Yanqing who sent someone to notify me."

Xie Ruotong scoffed.

Ye Qichi observed Xie Ruotong’s expression.

It seems.

No matter what Song Yanqing does.

She would not be moved by it.

"Song Yanqing wants to divorce me as soon as possible," Xie Ruotong said indifferently.

Ye Qichi did not argue.

Even though.

At the moment she received the message.

That dim feeling, Song Yanqing wanted her to take Xie Ruotong away to protect her.

Xie Ruotong truly couldn’t stay in the Song Family any longer.

Leaving was the best choice for Xie Ruotong.

Even if.

In the letter, Song Yanqing had asked her to prepare the divorce papers.

Song Yanqing was not an unwise man.

Had it been someone else, she might have suspected that Song Yanqing simply wanted to get rid of Xie Ruotong.

But with Song Yanqing’s intelligence.

It’s impossible not to consider.

Her taking Xie Ruotong away was actually the best way to protect her.

If he really wanted to take revenge on Xie Ruotong.

Keeping Xie Ruotong in the Song Family would have been the greatest revenge.

"Stop thinking about that worthless man," Ye Qichi said. "He’s not worth your thoughts, nor is he worth torturing yourself for those who’ve hurt you. What we need to focus on now is how to recover your health, and then how to make those people pay their debts in blood."

"Yes," Xie Ruotong nodded.

From the moment Ye Qichi took her away.

Besides revenge.

Her life belonged to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi stayed with Xie Ruotong for a while.

Fed her medicinal soup and gave her some liquid food.

Thus letting her recuperate in Prince Chen’s Mansion.

...

At night.

Ye Qichi fell asleep.

Xiao Jinxing suddenly appeared in Ye Qichi’s room again.

Little Wu naturally followed behind Xiao Jinxing.

Not knowing why the Prince suddenly came...

"Princess..." Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi and said, "Didn’t she take the initiative to ask about me?"

"..." Little Wu was speechless.

The Princess didn’t have the leisure to inquire about the Prince.

After awakening, the Princess went to Miss Xie’s room and stayed for quite a long time.

Then she prepared a big meal for herself.

Little Wu was fortunate to eat with her too.

Suddenly felt that it’s really nice to serve next to the Princess.

After eating.

The Princess went to her laboratory, stayed there for quite a while, and then let Lu You attend to her as she fell asleep.

Such a fulfilling life.

The Princess didn’t have the leisure to think about the Prince.

Of course, Little Wu didn’t dare to speak.

Afraid that if he said it, the Prince might kill him for it.

"Forget it," Xiao Jinxing seemed not to want to press the matter, he left a message, "Let Ye Qichi come and report the situation regarding Xie Ruotong when she wakes up tomorrow."

"Yes," Little Wu answered respectfully.

Xiao Jinxing turned and left.

As he left, it seemed he took another look at Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi still remained so... enduring.

Her attachment to him was clearly deep, yet she could appear as if she completely didn’t care about him.

He could feel the reluctance Ye Qichi showed yesterday when she clung to his sleeve.

The times people are most unguarded, they truly reveal their inner thoughts.

...

Ye Qichi didn’t understand what was wrong with Xiao Jinxing.

He suddenly wanted to show concern for Xie Ruotong.

She thought for quite a while, at least while Xie Ruotong was still of no use, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t bother to look at her with straight eyes.

Is he idle?!

If idle, pay more attention to the border warfare.

Pay more attention to the affairs of the court.

Don’t always linger in front of her; it bothers her.

"That’s all about Xie Ruotong’s experiences," Ye Qichi had no choice but to tell everything to Xiao Jinxing.

"Take it easy with the revenge matters, Xie Ruotong. We can’t mess up our big plan," Xiao Jinxing cautioned.

So this guy is afraid it would ruin his plans.

After all, the people Xie Ruotong wants to revenge are also Xiao Jinxing’s arch-enemies.

Afraid that if not careful, it might alert the enemies instead.

"Don’t worry, Xie Ruotong won’t be rash again," Ye Qichi said. "In fact, just overthrowing Xiao Jinsen, the power of Duke Mansion, the power of Song Family, will fall apart as well."

So.

The best way for Xie Ruotong to take revenge.

Is to help Xiao Jinxing conquer his empire!
