The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

With all of the sudden accusations thrown at her, Ms. Lu was shocked.

It was so embarrassing that she wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it.

After Zhao Xuanjing and his group finished up their business, they had been planning to rest here too. Just as they stepped through the door, they heard the angry townspeople demanding justice.

“Do you all know this young lady?” Zhao Xuanjing turned to ask someone.

“We do. Her master is the best Taoist master in the region. Ms. Xie’s skills are pretty good too, but it’s a pity that she hasn’t been blessed with a body as strong as her skills!” The person even sighed after saying this.

Zhao Xuanjing’s brows furrowed lightly. When he thought back to Ms. Xie, his heart was filled with awe.

But did this girl really not have much time left to live?

He could not help but feel a sense of discomfort rise in his heart.

Zhao Xuanjing did not think too much of it. He only glanced over at the mother and daughter, then went back to his room.

There was already someone inside waiting to receive them. When they arrived, he immediately came forward to hand over some information and all the letters from home.

Qin Zhi had also received his family’s letters.

He opened the letters excitedly to read them.

The moment he did, his facial expression changed.

His wife went into early labor, and his child was born. It was a girl.

“Coincidence… It must be just a coincidence.” Qin Zhi quickly patted his face as he swallowed dryly. Then he kept the letter calmly.

Everything would happen naturally. He had always been fortunate, of course, he would have both sons and daughters!

“Your child is born?” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou asked when he saw the delight on his face.

“Yeah! It’s a girl. My wife says that even though she was born a month early, the doctors said there shouldn’t be any problem. She looks like my mother and is incredibly pretty. She even drew a portrait. It’s just too cute.” As he said this, Qin Zhi even opened up the portrait and showed it to Imperial Bodyguard Zhou.

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou’s eye twitched. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Tanned as chocolate. There was nothing cute about her.

“Yes, she is lovely.” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou nodded as he hid his true thoughts. “Keep the talisman well! Carry it with you at all times. Just in case, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

As he said this, he shoved the talisman into Qin Zhi’s arms.

At first, he was hesitant about giving him this talisman. Now that he knew that Qin Zhi had just had his firstborn daughter, all his hesitation was thrown into the wind.

Qin Zhi was as annoyed as a toad. “I don’t want this stuff! Mr. Zhou, you have truly fallen under that woman’s spell. How could you believe her lies?!”

“You can’t refuse it even if you try. I will tell the young master otherwise. You already know that even the young master accepted her items. If you scoff at it, it only means that you are mocking the young master behind his back!” Imperial Bodyguard Zhou threatened him.

Qin Zhi’s hand halted. He had no choice but to respond to him dejectedly.

Now that he had one more useless junk in his hands, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

He felt weird all over.

All he wanted to do was throw it away.

Downstairs, Granny Wan tidied up Xie Qiao’s items. There was still a funny looking package on top of the bamboo basket. Even so, they moved it into the room.

Pei Wanyue could not help but catch a few more glimpses of it.

There were just so many things.

These things might not be worth much, but they represented how well-received Xie Qiao was.

If this continued when they returned back to the imperial city, what shall she do then?

“Mom, what is that package? It sounds like it is clacking. The noise is rather crisp too. It couldn’t be another stone, right?” Pei Wanyue had seen almost all of Xie Qiao’s things.

She knew of the bamboo basket; it looked worn and tattered. Its contents had been carried down from the Taoist temple.

However, this package was a different matter.

It was not from the Taoist temple, neither was it a gift from others.

Also, it seemed like this item really mattered to Xie Qiao. When she went upstairs, she even briefed the girl on it.

Her voice was low, but judging by the shape of her lips, it seemed like she said something about not allowing anyone else to touch it.

What kind of treasure was it that no one else could even touch?
