354 Vomiting Blood
When Qin Huai saw her like this, anger surged in his eyes.
“What’s going on?” Qin Huai’s tone was deep.
Beside the Madam, two personal maid servants were kneeling on the ground.
“This servant deserves to die!”
Qin Huai: “You indeed deserve to die.”
Just like Qin Huai, the Madam was also protected by guards all year round.
She had even more people around her than Qin Huai.
Those people’s martial arts were even higher than the Crimson Guards.
Yet, the Madam was still seriously injured.
This was simply unreasonable.
Qin Huai wanted to immediately hold them accountable, but the Madam suddenly coughed.
She vomited a pool of blood.
“Huai’er—” The Madam squeezed out two words with difficulty and panted heavily.
It was as if she could not breathe.
Qin Huai took a few steps forward, but he was unwilling to be too close to her.
He still had resentment in his heart, even at this critical moment.
A look of pain flashed across the Madam’s eyes.
However, there were some things that she had to say at this time.
She glanced at the maidservant at the side.
The maidservant gritted her teeth and stood up. She stretched out her finger and tapped a few major acupoints on the Madam’s body.
When Chi Jia saw this, his expression changed drastically.
Those were major acupoints. When a person was seriously injured, it could wake them up, but at the same time, it would speed up their death.
He originally wanted to stop her, but the Madam stopped him with a look.
“Cough—” Madam finally caught her breath.
“Mother knows that you’ve been blaming Mother all these years.” As she said that, the Madam took a deep breath and tried her best to stay awake. “From now on, you have to listen to your Grandpa and Grandma. If you want to take the imperial examination, do it. With your strength, Mother believes that you can grow very well.”
Qin Huai’s expression did not change, as if the person the Madam was talking to was not him.
She sighed in her heart.
She had pushed the child too far.
But there was no choice. She had to do this.
Some people were destined to bear more responsibility from the day they were born. They naturally had a mission.
“Mother can’t accompany you anymore. I’ll tell you which of my subordinates can be used.” The Madam looked deeply at Qin Huai. Her vision was already turning black again. She knew that she didn’t have much time left.
Qin Huai suddenly said, “Even at this time, you’re still unwilling to tell me the truth, right?”
The Madam: “What do you want to know?”
Qin Huai: “Who is the person who came to assassinate us today? Who has been trying to assassinate us all this time? Whose illegitimate child am I?”
“You’re not an illegitimate child,” The Madam replied. “Now is not the time for you to know. You’ll know when the time comes.”
The corners of Qin Huai’s mouth twitched. He wanted to smile coldly, but he could not smile at all.
“You must be very happy to see me live like a rat. Now, you’re finally going to abandon me, a burden. Do you feel very carefree?” Qin Huai said. “Or do you think that if you die today, I can still grow up healthy in the future? Madam, I didn’t expect you to be so naive.”
These words were too ruthless. When she heard the word “Madam”, her face turned even paler.
“You…” The Madam was about to say something when her chest hurt. Her lifeline had been injured, and the anger she had forcefully raised was about to dissipate.
However, Qin Huai did not seem to be able to see that she was about to die. He lowered his eyes and said, “It’s King Xiaoyao, right?”
Because she was too shocked, the Madam’s eyes even widened for a moment. “What?”
“That shady father of mine is King Xiaoyao, right?” Qin Huai said. “Everyone says that Duke Yong Manor and Duke An Manor don’t get along. Grandpa often belittles Duke An Manor in front of me. However, I know more than once that you secretly went to Duke An Manor before.”
“So, you’re King Xiaoyao’s subordinate, right? And I’m King Xiaoyao’s child who can’t see the light of day.”
“Pfft!” The Madam suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
