A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Consort Mei wanted to pounce on her and say something, but Ning Yue had already turned around and left. It was a waste of time for someone like her to talk to her.

However, to Ning Yue’s surprise, she received news the next day that Consort Mei had gone crazy and was chased out of the palace by the emperor. Consort Mei’s son had been sent to guard the imperial mausoleum by the emperor.

At the moment, whether it was Consort Mei or her son, it was unknown if either was alive.

Hearing this news, Ning Yue frowned. One had been chased out of the palace, and the other had been sent to the imperial mausoleum. Why did no one know if they were alive or dead? What else had happened?

Suddenly, she remembered what Jiang Ying had told her yesterday. It was Consort Mei’s son’s idea to murder the imperial heir. Although her son was young, he knew everything.

In other words, this child might have escaped on the way to the imperial mausoleum.

What impressed Ning Yue the most was that Jiang Ying had told her that his younger cousin’s hands were stained with a lot of blood.

Back then, the He family was the one who poisoned the crown prince’s son, Jiang Chi. Their goal was to push Consort Mei’s son to the position of crown prince.

However, the He family’s plan failed in the end. They did not expect the Liu family to appear and reveal the truth back then.

It was also on the day that the He family was completely investigated that the Ning family entered the capital.

When she heard about the He family, Madam Liu still did not know what had happened. She only wanted to beg Ning Yue to think of a way to save the He family.

Originally, when Ning Yue saw that Madam Liu was pregnant, she did not want to tell Madam Liu such a devastating thing, afraid that she would get angry.

However, seeing how emotional Madam Liu was, Ning Yue felt that if she didn’t explain, she would make Madam Liu even more worried.

Ning Yue explained what had happened back then. However, even so, Madam Liu was still very traumatized and fainted.

Seeing this, Ning Yue hurriedly took out ancient well water from her space and fed it to Madam Liu.

“Mother, don’t worry about this. Don’t hurt your body for someone unworthy.” Ning Yue took Madam Liu’s pulse as she said this.

Fortunately, Madam Liu often drank ancient well water and was strong. Even the baby in her stomach was very healthy. This stimulation would not do her any harm.

“How can there be such a bad person in this world? She and I were good sisters. How can she be so heartless to want to sell me!” Madam Liu cried.

Originally, Ning Yue wanted to ask Madam Liu about Si Chen, but seeing her like this, Ning Yue thought for a moment and decided to forget it.

This person was so important to Consort Mei. She wondered how important he was to Madam Liu.

She would wait for Madam Liu to calm down before asking about this person.

“Mother, let’s not think too much. It’s been so many years. It’s enough for you to live happily beside us now. As for the Liu family, I’ll take good care of them for you,” Ning Yue said.

She was a very protective person to begin with. As the Liu family doted on her so much, she would not ignore the Liu family.

Madam Liu’s expression softened a little. She hugged Ning Yue and cried, “Yueyue, how can there be such a vicious person in this world?”

Ning Yue only sighed. “Mother, she’s already suffered the punishment she deserves. Her mother’s family won’t have it easy either. Don’t worry.”

Madam Liu fell asleep after crying for a while. Ning Yue quickly got someone to take care of her.

Ning Yue quietly left and called Baili over. She said to him, “Help me investigate someone.”

Then, Ning Yue told Baili some of Si Chen’s information. “This person should be from Luzhou. We have to be fast.”

“Yes, I won’t let you down, Princess.” Baili turned around and left.

When Madam Liu woke up, it was already noon. After lunch, Madam Liu did not want to take an afternoon nap. She could not fall asleep.

Ning Yue was worried that Madam Liu would be bored, so she brought her to the streets of the capital.
