Pleading

Hearing this, Jin Xin was very helpless, but could only endure.
It should have taken an hour to return to the Prince's Manor, but the carriage moved a little then stopped again, prolonging the journey to two hours. Jin Xin, inside the carriage, endured torture both verbal and physical.
When she got off the carriage, her knees were weak, and she couldn't stand up at all. Only after Jiang Yu Shu and her group had left did she slowly step down from the spiked board, her body collapsing to the ground.
Seeing this, Lian Rong was extremely frightened. She quickly got into the carriage to help her up, crying heartbrokenly.
At the gate, Jiang Yu Shu snorted coldly, turned her head to look at them with a disdainful expression, and then entered the Prince's Manor.
Jin Xin looked up at their retreating figures, slowly stood up with Lian Rong's support, and said, "I'm fine. Go inquire around and see if His Highness has truly left the city."
Having no other choice, Lian Rong settled Jin Xin down and immediately went to Qing Feng Tai to inquire. She heard that Prince Rui had indeed left and was likely already outside the city.
Hearing this, Jin Xin sighed and told her to invite a physician for her.
When Lian Rong went out, she was stopped by the gatekeeper. The other party had obviously received orders, which was why they dared to make things difficult for Lian Rong. After a long standoff, Lian Rong still couldn't leave. Helpless, Jin Xin had to apply medicine to herself.
In the middle of the night, Jin Xin developed a fever from the wound on her leg, feverish to the point of delirium and unconsciousness, which terrified Lian Rong.
There was no medicine in their room, and continuing to endure was not an option. Lian Rong had no choice but to go to Xi Luan Yuan to plead, hoping the Princess Consort would show mercy and invite a physician to examine Jin Xin.
At this moment, Qiao Er stepped out, pointed at Lian Rong, and said to the two guards, "Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Are you just going to stand by and watch this hussy disturb the Princess Consort's peace and harm the Imperial Grandson? Can you afford to compensate for that?"
Hearing this, the two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Lian Rong out of the courtyard. Seeing that Lian Rong still wanted to speak, a guard stepped forward and threatened, "If you dare to say another word, don't blame us for being impolite! Get out!"
Lian Rong wept sorrowfully. If she couldn't invite a physician today, her mistress might suffer brain damage from the high fever.
Upon returning to Mei Xiang Ju, Lian Rong was filled with remorse, looking at Jin Xin, who was delirious with fever.
Jin Xin also understood her current predicament. Seeing Lian Rong return empty-handed, she knew that Jiang Yu Shu intended to act ruthlessly.
Because her mother had been elevated to a concubine, Jiang Yu Shu wanted to kill her.
Dying from illness was the best way to die.
But she couldn't die.
"Lian Rong, go to Wang Yue Ju and find Consort Liu. She surely has a physician and medicine by her side. Just tell her that I am willing to help her deal with Consort Cao."
"What if she refuses?" Lian Rong asked worriedly.
"Come here, I'll tell you something." She tiredly lifted her head, calling Lian Rong closer so she could speak without expending too much energy.
After listening, Lian Rong repeatedly assented and immediately went to Consort Liu's Wang Yue Ju in the dark of night. At this time, Consort Liu had not yet gone to sleep and was reading a book. Hearing the maid's message, she frowned instantly.
Lian Rong being driven out of Xi Luan Yuan had caused quite a stir. It wasn't that Consort Liu didn't know, but she didn't want to get involved in this matter.
