Chapter 684 Aftermath
That afternoon, in the piano room in the backyard of Prince Beijing’s Palace.
Princess Wei Ying was kneeling behind the piano. At first glance, she seemed to be no different from usual, but her long legs were not as close together as usual.
When she occasionally moved her knees, a hint of pain and shame would appear on her face.
Unlike Sun Shaozong who was recollecting everything that happened on the boat, she now wished she could forget everything that happened on the boat immediately.
But the annoying pain made her recall those humiliating scenes again and again.
clang!
He reached out his hand irritably, and the lyre immediately emitted a high-pitched sound of metal clashing.
But Wei Yingchun's slender fingers were also cut with a red mark.
But she was still not satisfied and was about to tease him again, when suddenly someone outside said in a gentle voice: "Sister, even if you want to take it out, you should take care of your body."
Wei Ying didn't need to look up to know that it was Xia Jingui who came over. She immediately became angry and looked at her coldly at first. When Xia Jingui came closer, she couldn't help but said in hatred, "Why are you still in the palace?"
"I'm just worried about my sister."
Xia Jingui said as she took a cushion and knelt down in front of Wei Ying. She looked at Wei Ying leisurely for a few times and nodded, "Sister, you look pretty good. You seem to be even rosier than usual."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but after she said it, two blushes actually appeared on Wei Ying's face.
"shut up!"
Wei Ying clenched her fists in shame and anger, and gritted her teeth and said, "You leaked the news to that Sun guy in advance, and I haven't even had the chance to blame you yet, and you still dare to talk nonsense now!"
Seeing that she seemed to be about to pounce on him, Xia Jingui lowered her eyebrows and put on a timid look, saying hesitantly: "Sister, calm down . If I hadn't mentioned your name, how could I have invited Lord Dongsun to go boating on the lake?"
As he said this, his eyes were filled with contempt and complacency.
Although she was unable to witness with her own eyes how Wei Ying was humiliated by Sun Shaozong this time, Xia Jingui was proud of herself for being able to control the matter single-handedly.
Especially in this way, I can find the weaknesses of both sides, so they will never kick me away and ignore the Xia family's affairs.
Although Wei Ying had a hot temper, she was the one who would rather be soft-hearted than hard-hearted. Seeing Xia Jingui's timid look, and thinking that she had also lost her virginity to Sun Shaozong like herself , and had also lost Yuanhong, her anger subsided a little.
But he still said in a stern voice: "I am too lazy to argue with you - the Sun family has already rushed to take charge of your family's affairs, you just need to go back and wait."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were too cruel, so he softened his attitude a little and sighed, "Well, you can't count on that Sun anymore. If Brother Lang can escape this disaster, what I said before will count."
This still means to match Xia Jingui and Wei Ruolan.
Xia Jingui originally had no thoughts about Wei Ruolan, who had lost her future, but now that she had lost her virginity, she was thinking about clinging to Sun Shaozong, the big tree. Marrying Wei Ruolan, who knew her well, was a way out.
But Wei Ruolan is not easy to control after all. If she gets jealous...
She pondered in her mind, but couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she said in an ambiguous and tender voice: "It depends on what Brother Wei thinks."
Wei Ying thought that she was just shy and was very willing to this marriage - after all, in her opinion, if her brother had not been used as a scapegoat, he would not be inferior to Sun Shaozong.
So he secretly made up his mind that after Wei Ruolan was acquitted, he would discuss the marriage with him.
The two of them were each thinking about their own things, and unknowingly fell into silence.
"elder sister."
Finally, it was Xia Jingui who broke the silence first. She asked quietly, "Sister, have you taken the medicine?"
Taking decoction?
Wei Ying was stunned at first, then her neck turned red, and she said angrily: "Don't worry about it, I'm in good health!"
She mistakenly thought that Xia Jingui was concerned about her "injury".
However, what Xia Jingui was referring to was not this at all.
Seeing that she seemed a little confused, he leaned forward and reminded her, "I'm talking about the contraceptive medicine. Lord Sun is determined to humiliate you, so I'm afraid he will deliberately... "
As she spoke, Xia Jingui stretched out a white jade finger, first pointed it at Wei Ying, and then slowly retracted it.
Now Wei Ying finally understood, and her face became even redder.
Not to mention, she really hadn't thought about this before. When Xia Jingui reminded her of this, she suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, especially in her lower abdomen, as if something was about to sprout.
"Which kind of medicine..."
So she hurriedly asked hesitantly: "Do you... do you have..."
"Yes, there are."
Xia Jingui said in embarrassment: "But the medicine needs to be boiled and drunk while it's hot - I'm afraid it's not very convenient here, sister."
"What should I do?!"
Wei Ying was suddenly at a loss for words, and subconsciously tried to stand up, but halfway through, she fell back down with a cry.
“This…”
Xia Jingui also had a panicked look on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. Although contraceptives at that time were not as widely available as those in later generations, there were several types such as hot boiling and cold compress.
It’s just that Wei Ying has always only loved playing the musical instrument and practicing martial arts, and has never been interested in these things, so she didn’t know about these things.
Xia Jingui pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth, but she did this on purpose to make fun of her and further manipulate her actions.
After Wei Ying panicked for a long time, she stammered, "Actually, there is another way."
"What method?!"
Wei Ying seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly grabbed Xia Jingui's wrist and asked: "Sister, tell me quickly!"
"We can't delay the preparation of the medicine. Even if we find another prescription, it will be too late." Xia Jingui said this, glanced at Wei Ying who was getting more and more panicked, and then continued: "For now, I'm afraid the only solution is to ask Sister to take care of herself for a few days and then get close to the prince."
"you!"
Wei Ying had never thought that she would come up with such a bad idea, so she immediately shook her wrist off and said angrily, "I feel so ashamed of the prince now, how can I shamelessly get close to him?"
"If my sister is pregnant, how will she face the prince?" Xia Jingui asked back, "I heard that my sister hasn't been close to the prince for several months."
"this……"
Wei Ying was suddenly speechless and subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, feeling more and more that something seemed to be sprouting inside.
Thinking about what would happen if Shui Rong found out that she was pregnant...
She bit her lip and said hesitantly, "But I am still separated from him. For a while, I... I don't know how to reconcile with him."
“That’s easy!”
Xia Jingui was waiting for her to say this, and immediately whispered in her ear: "Sister, you can just say that Brother Wei's case is about to go to trial, and you are really worried, so you went to the prince to vent, and then... take advantage of the situation... Don't believe it..."
After hearing her detailed plan, Wei Ying's face turned red and white, and she felt ashamed, remorseful, and uneasy.
Suddenly Xia Jingui reached out and groped down her waist.
Wei Ying quickly grabbed her wrist and said angrily, "What are you going to do?!"
Xia Jingui took her time to pull out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and said, "Sister, we can't waste any time now. Let me help you apply some medicated oil so that you won't be late to reconcile with the prince before the court hearing."
After hearing this, Wei Ying became even more embarrassed. She bit her teeth and hesitated for a long time before finally letting go of Xia Jingui's wrist. She asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Did you...did you close the door?"
"Don't worry, sister. No one can come in."
