Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 568 - My Fate Would Turn This Way

Chapter 568 - My Fate Would Turn This Way

Lei Wanxi took the plate from the maidservant which had kiwis on it. "These are from Juyan, from the house of Sister Lili," he told Zhu Lin. He picked one from the tiny dumpling stick and brought it near her mouth. Zhu Lin opened her mouth and ate it.
"I was scared at first when your father asked me a few questions. It felt like I was giving an exam in front of the teacher," Lei Wanxi murmured and picked another one.
Zhu Lin giggled and asked him what he answered then.
"I answered what I felt at that moment. Your Father has agreed to our marriage. My Father has to talk with my mother. Then, we will get married after the Royal Astrologer chooses an auspicious date," Lei Wanxi said delightedly and forward another piece of Kiwi in front of her mouth.
Zhu Lin ate that and picked one stick. "Open your mouth," she urged him and pushed the kiwi inside his mouth. Lei Wanxi chewed the kiwi.
"It is delicious," Lei Wanxi said and told Zhu Lin to finish the rest.
"Prince Wanxi, I asked the Royal Physician about the healing time for this wound. However, he refrained from answering," she stated.
The smile from Lei Wanxi's lips disappeared. It made him worry. "Is it a serious condition? Do you know anything regarding this? You shall share it with me if you know," Zhu Lin asserted.
"Ahh, there's nothing," Lei Wanxi lied.
"Don't tell a lie to me. It saddens me. You even told me not to walk," Zhu Lin affirmed.
"Zhu Lin," Lei Wanxi grasped her both hands and caressed them. "The Royal Physician told us that you cannot lift heavy things and also cannot use the sword anymore. The naval muscles might get stretched and internal bleeding might start, which will be fatal for you," Lei Wanxi revealed the truth to Zhu Lin.
"You should have told me earlier," Zhu Lin said. "I knew that something was wrong with my naval region. The wound was deep, so…," she paused and lowered her eyes.
"Don't worry. The Royal Physician has also said that if it heals fully then you might be able to do the heavy work without any problem but at least for a year, you need to refrain from doing heavy physical activity," Lei Wanxi cheered up her mood by giving her hope.
"Hmm."
Lei Wanxi pulled his hand back and asked the maidservant about the dinner meal. Zhu Lin was happy that Lei Wanxi was taking good care of her. Her heart fluttered and was overjoyed with this feeling.

Bai Yaling came out of the chamber when Court Lady Xu asked her where she was heading to!
"I want to walk for some time," Bai Yaling replied. "Please do not follow me. I want to be alone," Bai Yaling answered.
"Princess Bai, the Crown Princess has strictly ordered me to follow you around. I am afraid but leaving you alone is not an option," Court Lady Xu said humbly. She had lowered her head. Bai Yaling could not defy the order of the Crown Princess.
Bai Yaling started to walk while Court Lady Xu followed her. The happiness had left her life the moment she married Yongzheng. However, his last words of not punishing his mother and his wife for his crimes had gained a different kind of respect inside her heart for her husband. She loved him as it was taught to a girl since her birth, especially if she is born in a noble family, to show virtuousness towards her husband no matter what.
Bai Yaling did the same. She had accepted her fate with Yongzheng even if he used to beat her up. Sometimes she hated him but now he was no more, she blamed herself for cursing him those times. Tears formed in her eyes and she halted at her place. She brought her hand near her eyes and wiped the tears from the edges of her eyes.
Court Lady Xu glanced at Bai Yaling. She thought to speak to her and made her understand. Bai Yalinh again started to walk and carefully walked down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, she told Court Lady Xu to not follow her.
However, Court Lady Xu refused to agree to her. Since Court Lady Xu was from the Crown Princess's manor, her powers were more than Princess Bai Yaling and she could defy her orders. Also, at this time, Bai Yaling was at her lowest point. Leaving her alone would not be safe in her opinion.
Bai Yaling again started to walk and thought to go near the lakeside. After she reached the lake, Bai Yaling felt thirsty. She asked Court Lady Xu for the water.
Court Lady Xu nodded and left to bring a glass of water for Bai Yaling.
As she left, Bai Yaling went towards one side of the lake and looked into it. "Forgive me, Mother, Father. I do not think that I will be able to survive anymore. I tried hard. But now my husband is no more, there is nothing left for me. I never thought that my fate would turn this way," Bai Yaling murmured while crying.
She closed her eyes and fell into the water. Court Lady Xu arrived there and saw that Bai Yaling had jumped into the water. The tray in her hand fell and she ran towards the lake while shouting.
At that moment, General Wang jumped into the lake and swiftly caught Bai Yaling. He pulled her out and took her out of the water. The servants had also come there after hearing the shouts of Court Lady Xu.
Wang Hao put Bai Yaling on the ground, who had fainted as soon as she fell into the water. He checked her breathing by bringing her index finger under Bai Yaling's nostrils. "She is not breathing," he murmured and started to press his hands against her chest so that the water came out of her lungs.
He slapped her cheeks and again compressed her chest. After that, he opened her mouth and gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to her. "Princess, wake up!!" He said as he again compressed her chest. Finally, Bai Yaling started to cough and water came out of her mouth.
Court Lady Xu and the others took a breath of relief. Bai Yaling took deep breaths and looked around her.
"Take her to the chamber and call the Royal Physician," Wang Hao told Court Lady Xu, who helped Bai Yaling in standing up.. Other Palace maids also helped her and they took her to the chamber.
