Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 175 Why Didn’t He Die?

——The country is overwhelmed

"Master, I'm about to give birth...it hurts so much..."

"It's only been nine months, how can you give birth soon? Go get a midwife!"

In the middle of the night, a panicked scream suddenly broke the silence of the night in the Lu Mansion. A beautiful woman with a face twisted in pain was seen tightly grasping the sleeve of the man beside her, her eyes full of pain and fear. She was the concubine of the Lu Mansion, Xie Qingrou.

Just now, Xie Qingrou accidentally fell and gave birth prematurely. This sudden change caused the entire Lu family to panic. The servants rushed to tell each other and looked for midwives and doctors. At this time, Xie Qingrou was sweating profusely from the pain, and her body was shaking constantly, as if she could lose her life at any time.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the Lu residence became more and more tense. Finally, the midwife came in a hurry, but she couldn't help but frowned when she saw Xie Qingrou's condition. She quickly instructed everyone to prepare hot water, towels and other items, and at the same time comforted Xie Qingrou not to be afraid, and everything would go well.

However, Xie Qingrou's screams continued to ring out, making people feel heartbroken. Lu Zhi paced anxiously outside the door, asking about the situation inside from time to time. His face was full of worry, and he silently prayed in his heart that she could survive this crisis safely.

In this way, a life-and-death contest unfolds in the Lu Mansion. At this moment, Xie Qingrou is experiencing unprecedented pain, as if she is in the torture of hell...

As time went by, Xie Qingrou's cries became weaker and weaker, and the midwife's expression became more and more solemn.

Suddenly, a clear cry resounded throughout the room. The baby was finally born! But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the midwife exclaimed, "Oh no, the lady is bleeding heavily!" Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throats.

Lu Zhi rushed into the delivery room and looked at the dying Xie Qingrou, tears welling up in his eyes. "No matter what, we must save her!" he shouted hoarsely.

The doctor tried his best to save her, but Xie Qingrou's vital signs gradually weakened.

Finally, she used up her last bit of strength, took one look at her child, and then closed her eyes forever. Lu Zhi was heartbroken and cried bitterly while holding the child.

The entire Lu Mansion was filled with an atmosphere of sadness, and this tragedy became an indelible pain in Lu Zhi's heart.

Lu Qingqing, who was hiding in the dark room, didn't know that her mother had lost her life giving birth to her younger brother.

Lu Zhi then thought about looking for Lu Xiyue, the eldest daughter who had just become the Princess of Duan, and wanted to discuss with her about letting Xie Qingrou enter the ancestral hall and make her the principal wife.

But how could Lu Xiyue agree?

Lu Zhi told Lu Xiyue his idea, but Lu Xiyue flatly refused.

"Father, have you forgotten how mother died?" Lu Xiyue burst into tears. "If it weren't for Aunt Xie, mother wouldn't have died of depression! Now you want to make her your principal wife, how can mother rest in peace in heaven?"

Lu Zhi sighed helplessly. He understood the pain in his eldest daughter's heart, but Xie Qingrou had given birth to a son for the Lu family after all.

"Yue'er, Aunt Xie is gone, let's let the past grudges go. Now the child needs a status." Lu Zhi advised.

"Father, I cannot obey your orders in this matter!" Lu Xiyue answered firmly and turned away.

Lu Zhi looked at her from behind, feeling mixed emotions. He decided to find another opportunity to discuss this with Lu Xiyue, hoping to convince her.

Lu Zhi also sent someone to deliver a letter to Concubine Liang in the palace, hoping that Concubine Liang would persuade Lu Xiyue.

After Lu Xiyue's uncle learned of Lu Zhi's idea, they all came to Lu's mansion to cause trouble.

"Lu Zhi, you are going too far! My sister worked so hard to run this family, but ended up like this. Now you want to make that bitch your wife, we will never agree to it!" said the eldest brother-in-law angrily.

"Brother, I know I am sorry for you, but this child must have a status..." Lu Zhi looked embarrassed.

"Hmph! Stop making excuses! We are here today to warn you, don't even think about letting that woman into the Lu family!" echoed the second uncle.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. At this time, Lu Qingqing came out from the dark, her whole body trembling, tears blurring her eyes. Her eyes swept through the crowd, and finally stopped at the people of the Yan family.

"My mother is dead now, do you still want to bully her?" Lu Qingqing cried, her voice full of grief and anger. She leaned forward slightly, as if she was going to fight those people to the death.

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound. They looked at Lu Qingqing in horror, not knowing what to do. Some people even screamed in fear: "Ah! Ghost!"

Lu Qingqing ignored their fear and continued to shout, "You vicious people, my mother is already dead, and you still don't let her go. You will be punished!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly stammered, "Lu Qingqing, you, you haven't already..." However, before he could finish his words, he was suddenly pulled by another person next to him. That person glared at the speaker and motioned him to be silent.

"I'm not dead. So you can bully my brother? I tell you, my brother must be the legitimate son." Lu Qingqing's eyes were firm, her voice was loud and powerful, her eyes flashed with firmness and determination, as if she wanted to pour all her strength into this sentence.

Then, she turned to look at Lu Zhi and asked in a firm tone: "Father, can my mother be promoted to the principal wife? Does all this depend on the faces of those irrelevant people?" There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was declaring her position and determination to everyone.

Suddenly a female voice came out from the crowd, "Your mother can't be the main wife!"

It turned out to be Lu Xiyue and Prince Duan who had rushed over.

Everyone bowed and said, "Greetings to Prince Duan and Princess Duan."

Prince Duan motioned for them all to get up, but Lu Qingqing was the only one he didn't let get up.

"Lu Qingqing, why didn't you die? Do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death?" asked Prince Duan.

"I...my father doesn't love me anymore and my mother is dead. Just behead me." Lu Zhi stared at Lu Qingqing viciously as she let herself die.

Lu Qingqing looked up at Prince Duan without any fear in her eyes, "My mother died in order to give birth to a child for the Lu family. Are you still blaming me for not dying?"

Prince Duan was intimidated by Lu Qingqing's momentum and was speechless for a moment. Seeing this, Lu Xiyue hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Sister, don't blame the prince, he is also doing his job impartially."

"Official business?" Lu Qingqing sneered, "I think you are just afraid that my mother will take away what belongs to you!"

Lu Zhi quickly shouted, "Qingqing, don't be rude!"

Lu Qingqing was unmoved, "Dad, why are you afraid of them? Mom is already dead, don't you want to give her justice?"

The scene was very awkward, and Prince Duan looked very unhappy. He looked at Lu Xiyue, then at Lu Qingqing, and finally sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's talk about this later." After that, he left with Lu Xiyue.

Lu Qingqing looked at their backs as they left and vowed secretly to make sure her mother got the respect she deserved.
