The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 170 The Real Murder

The news of Princess Yongning's miscarriage finally reached the palace.

Empress Dowager Liu was furious and insisted on investigating the matter. The Li family also agreed. People outside had different opinions. It was said that Princess Yongning's previous good news was not kept secret for three months before it was spread, so she was taken away by the King of Hell. 

This is just a legend, and many people don't believe it now. Moreover, Princess Yongning did say that she was murdered in the Li family when she had a miscarriage.

The word "murder" is very serious, which means that this is not a child that Princess Yongning accidentally lost, but a carefully planned conspiracy. Even the emperor paid attention to it and asked the Li family to find the murderer.

In contrast, Princess Yongning's elder brother, King Cheng, didn't care much. This was certainly not because King Cheng didn't care about his sister, but because he was busy with more important things recently - the rebellion in the harem, so Princess Yongning's affairs had to be put aside for the time being.

The Li family became the target of public criticism for a while, and they tried hard to find the murderer, but they naturally couldn't find any clues in two or three days. But Princess Yongning was like crazy, not giving up, almost from morning to night, clamouring for the Li family to come up with an explanation. 

She couldn't find the murderer, so she took out all her anger on the Li family. It looked like she was not the eldest wife of the Li family, but the enemy of the Li family.

At night, Princess Yongning sat in the room, looking irritable.

Her body recovered quickly. Abortion should be a physical drain, and she should be too weak to get out of bed these days. But in just one day, Princess Yongning recovered and could walk freely. If the Li family had not known that she was pregnant, no one would believe it and would have thought that she had never been pregnant.

But perhaps because of this, Li Xian did not expect Princess Yongning to recover so quickly. He seemed a little flustered and at a loss for Princess Yongning's urging to find the murderer.

Meixiang came in from outside with the boiled medicine.

"The Li family did not give an explanation today." Princess Yongning said angrily: "It's simply unreasonable!"

After losing her child, Princess Yongning's weakness also disappeared. She became arrogant and domineering again, and everyone had to follow her. Her bad temper was revealed.

She glanced at the medicine that Meixiang brought up. The medicine was especially for her to replenish her body after the miscarriage. It was a big black bowl with a bitter medicinal fragrance. Princess Yongning looked at it and thought of the innocent child who died. 

Her heart began to ache. What made her even more disappointed was that the news of her miscarriage had spread to the court, not to mention the people. Shen Yurong should have known something about it, but he didn't come to see her, even if he just asked someone to bring a letter or a message.

But nothing, nothing. She waited and waited, but the only thing she got was that the Li family had not found the whereabouts of the murderer. What she waited for was nothing.

This was Shen Yurong's flesh and blood! He didn't care about his relatives at all.

Princess Yongning felt a little sad when she thought of this. She knew that Shen Yurong was probably a heartless person, which could be seen from his treatment of his wife Xue Fang Fei. But she never expected that one day, this heartlessness would be used on herself.
