Chapter 519: The Empress's Suggestion

(Thanks to Wu Qingyan for the coins, Mo Da)

The prince had / had an affair with the palace girl before getting married and made the palace girl have a child, this kind of thing has always existed, it was originally nothing strange, but the Liu family has always hated this kind of thing, and was worried that this child would pose a threat to the throne when he grew up, so he immediately had the idea of letting the palace concubine be aborted, so the queen Liu said with a smile: "So that's the case, why didn't you tell the palace earlier? Although you are just a palace maid, but after all, you are pregnant with the prince's species, and the palace will definitely treat it properly." ”

Seeing that the Liu family was so reasonable, Gong Xingji immediately thanked Di Ling and said: "Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince considers that he has not yet married Miss Zhang, he is afraid that Miss Zhang will be angry when he finds out about this matter, so he let the slave maid keep it a secret." ”

Liu Shi said angrily: "He is too inconsiderate of you, a woman's family, pregnant with his flesh and blood, is so busy with work every day, if you don't tell the truth, you can't be tired?"

Gong Xingji was silent.

Liu took a sip of tea and asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"

Gong Xingji replied in a low voice: "It's been more than four months. ”

Liu's brow furrowed.

More than four months, the fetus is already very stable, I am afraid that it is not possible to have a miscarriage, then it can only be induced.

Although it is not right for Gong Xingji to have a private affair with the crown prince Xiao Di, the initiator is the Liu family himself after all, so the Liu family is not to blame much.

Ryu closed his eyes and pondered.

Leaning less, Liu Shi opened his eyes, looked at Gong Xingji with a gentle gaze and asked, "Are you sure you are pregnant with the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

After all, Gong Xingji has a husband, and her husband also lives in the capital, so the husband and wife can basically get together once a month.

Gong Xingji was a little angry when she heard this, and hurriedly said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "During the time when the slave maid had a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid's husband happened to be in the field on errands, so the slave maid had not seen her husband for nearly two and a half months, and the last time she met him was on the first of last month. ”

Liu remembered that a few months ago, she heard her say that her husband went to other places to run errands, then, from the time calculation, the child in Gong Xingji's womb was none other than the crown prince Xiao Di.

Liu suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if he had been calculated by others.

So, is it really just like this to let Gong Xingji give birth to this child?

Liu remembered that there was once a palace maid who was pregnant with Xiao Hong's child, and after the palace maid was pregnant with a child, Xiao Hong wanted to crown the palace maid as a nobleman, and Liu was very worried when she learned the news, because this palace maid was usually a very scheming person, and she was afraid that she would be unfavorable to her after becoming a concubine, but she didn't dare to do anything to the palace maid, so she lived a few days depressed and unhappy.

Later, the palace maid was very unsuccessful in childbirth, and finally died of dystocia.

When the Liu family learned the news, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sighed for the fate of the palace maid.

Since then, she has been very disgusted with the intimate relationship between the emperor and the palace maids, and always sends people to keep an eye on the emperor's side, in case the emperor and the palace maids have too many opportunities to socialize.

This is also the reason why she was reluctant to open the palace maid for the prince Xiao Di before, but later it was because the prince's age was reached, and the emperor often mentioned this matter, so she was willing to choose a candidate.

She has been faintly worried since the day she was selected for the crown prince Zhang Luo, but she didn't expect that the thing she was worried about has finally come true.

Liu Shi pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to get married, and you must already know who he is marrying." If she knows that you are pregnant with the prince's child, I am afraid that you will not have a good time in the future. ”

Of course, Gong Xingji also thought of this, so he hurriedly asked the Liu family to help make the decision.

Liu said: "You are definitely safe with me, but I can't guarantee your safety at other times, but I have a way, it depends on your wishes." ”

Gong Xingji hurriedly said: "The queen mother, please speak." ”

"You tell the public that this is your and your husband's child, so that no one dares to criticize you, you can not only ensure that you and the fetus are safe, but also enter and leave the palace generously, and also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will give you enough money to support your baby, and when you give birth to a child in the future, we will also give you money to raise him to grow up, and you will not be a little lacking in food and clothing. Liu said softly.

The expression on Gong Xingji's face was even more ugly than crying, and after a while, she said, "So the queen doesn't plan to recognize this child?"

If the royal family does not recognize this child, even if Gong Xingji and this child do not worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives?

Thinking of this, Gong Xingji's tears fell.

Liu Shi was unmoved, but his face was not shown at all, he personally held Gong Xingji's hand, and said patiently: "If you say that this child is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on the surface, it is to announce the child's origin, but what if the future crown princess is unwilling? What if she doesn't want this child to exist at all? Then you and this child will live a frightened life." ”

Liu Shi looked at Gong Xingji as he spoke, and said, "In the Heavenly Family, there are all kinds of fights between women, but when it comes to the issue of children, the hearts of women are not ordinarily ruthless. ”

Seeing that Gong Xingji didn't speak, Liu said again: "Your character is very clear in this palace, you can't fight the crown princess, not to mention that you yourself are a person with a husband, she will not allow you to be presumptuous in the palace." ”

Miyayukihime still didn't speak.

Liu sighed and said: "Gong Niang, Gong Niang, you don't think carefully about your current situation, if you don't disclose this matter to the public, you can still work in the palace in the future, and you can occasionally meet His Royal Highness the Prince, if you tell the public, I'm afraid that the Crown Princess will drive you out of the palace immediately, and then you will even lose this job, let alone want to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Miyayuki burst into tears.

Liu Shi patted the back of her hand and said warmly: "Okay, okay, this palace is just to analyze the situation you are going to face with you, and it doesn't really want to drive you away." As long as you do what this palace wants, this palace will save you and the child in your womb no matter what. He added, "This is obviously what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, otherwise he wouldn't let you hide the identity of this child from the outside world." ”

Gong Xingji, who couldn't find a backer at all, had to nod her head reluctantly.

Liu Shi immediately smiled and said, "What a good boy." Immediately rewarded a large bag of silver taels to Gong Xingji, and gave Gong Xingji a three-day vacation, so that she could go home and have a good reunion with her husband and children.
