After leaving Ning Ze's courtyard, the Madam Marquis went to Ning Yao's courtyard.
Ning Yao had already seen a doctor and was having a prescription for an abortion made.
When the Madam Marquis arrived, the doctor had already written the prescription. After looking it over, she instructed the doctor, "Stay here for the day. After you leave this residence today, regardless of who asks you, even if it's the Emperor himself, remember to say that you were here to help the young lady preserve her pregnancy, but couldn't due to her poor health from her travels. Understand? Otherwise, if word gets out and we're implicated, you'll be held responsible too."
Even though the Emperor had demoted Ning Yao and the child in her to commoners, they were still of royal blood.
The doctor, pale-faced, nodded, "Madam, rest assured, even if I die, I won't reveal this secret. I'll take it to my grave."
