Chapter 125.2: Rebirth of the Black Lotus (l)
Mu Qingling was a little sleepy after drinking the medicine, but she had to wait for the maid she had sent out to come back. So, she asked the wet nurse to bring her a book to read. However, before she had read a couple of pages, she heard the sound of a woman crying and her maid scolding someone outside the door.
She was already ill, so when it was noisy outside, her beautiful brows couldn’t help but tighten together. With a pale face, she asked, “Who’s out there?”
The wet nurse looked at her young lady with distress and quickly stood up, “This maid will go and see.”
Within a few moments, the person who had been making noises and arguing outside was brought to Mu Qingling’s bedside.
The girl was dressed in coarse clothing. Even so, it didn’t affect her beautiful appearance. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt on the ground. The sight of Mu Qingling, who was still leaning on the bed, was like a savior to her. She crawled on her knees to the bed while crying.
When she reached the bedside, she kowtowed over and over. While kowtowing, she begged, “Please Your Highness, please save this commoner daughter. Please...”
Mu Qingling, disturbed by her cries, had a headache and couldn’t help but massage her brow as she asked the maid who had followed the girl in, “What’s going on?”
The maid had a difficult look on her face. She hesitated for a few moments, but knelt on the ground and spoke in a faltering tone, “This is the concubine of the... Prince."
“She was originally staying in the West Courtyard, but when she heard that Your Highness had woken up today, she made a fuss about looking for the Princess Consort. The guards in the residence were afraid to stop her, which is why she disturbed you, Your Highness.”
