Chapter 42: Child, Who Became Whose Pawn

Taiping was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Ling Chuchu's hand violently and walked up from the pond: "Okay, it's clear!" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Gao Lanze stood beside him, looking dazed.

That night, Ling Chuchu asked Yuan Qin to find a medicine to induce vomiting, and after eating it, he held the spittoon and vomited non-stop.

Obviously, almost everyone in the palace knew about it, but he still took Yuan Qin's hand, pretended to be nervous, and asked Yuan Qin to secretly go out to find a doctor, looking like he didn't want others to know.

Ling Hongyuan had already arrived at the door of the Tinghe Courtyard, his face was slightly gloomy, he rushed to Ling Chuchu's side, grabbed her hand tightly, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Jia followed behind Ling Hongyuan and whispered, "Lord Wang, it looks like she is pregnant......

The two looked at each other.

Ling Hongyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, glanced at Ling Chuchu again, flicked his sleeves and left: "Let the house doctor come over!" ”

Ling Chuchu's pregnancy was confirmed, and Master Lu also came with a dowry to discuss the marriage in person, Ling Hongyuan was unwilling to do so, and there was no room for reversal.

Aunt Gu sat in the courtyard, not knowing what method she used, and asked Ling Hongyuan to come to see her in person.

Mama Liu came up with tea, after what happened last time, Aunt Gu looked a lot more honest, and gently and virtuously asked Ling Hongyuan to pour tea, and said, "The concubine is willing to share the worries of the prince." ”

Ling Hongyuan frowned.

"The concubine knows that the prince doesn't look down on the Lu Mansion, Chu Chu is the concubine of the palace, married to the concubine of the Lu family, lost the face of the palace, and now she is pregnant, the prince thinks that it is difficult to ride a tiger, but the concubine does not think so."

Aunt Gu was sitting on the other side of the stone table, and the wind was blowing, making it a little difficult to see Aunt Gu's true expression.

"Lan Lan got married in a hurry because she was pregnant, but now she ...... According to the meaning of the concubine, anyway, the month is small now, and no one else knows, it is better not to do it twice, and then use the power of the palace to put pressure on the Lu Mansion, so that they can take the initiative to withdraw from this marriage, killing two birds with one stone! ”

Aunt Gu's words reached Ling Hongyuan's heart, but Ling Chuchu was pregnant, and everyone in the palace already knew about it, and if she wanted to suppress this matter, I am afraid it would not be so simple.

Aunt Gu is waiting.

Seeing that Ling Hongyuan was still hesitant, he said, "If the prince is reluctant, the concubine is willing to be this bad person." ”

"What do you mean?"

Aunt Gu approached Ling Hongyuan with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "As long as the prince lets the concubine out, let the concubine do all this, the prince just doesn't know anything, you are still the good father who loves his daughter, and the concubine is the unreasonable stepmother." ”

Ling Hongyuan slammed the table and got up to leave unceremoniously.

Mama Liu mistakenly thought that Aunt Gu had offended the prince again, and nervously pulled Aunt Gu's sleeve, and at this moment, Ling Hongyuan, who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, suddenly stopped and said, "Aunt Gu repented and lifted her grounding." ”

Aunt Gu sat in place and sneered.

As soon as Ling Hongyuan left on his front foot, Xu Jia appeared with all kinds of good things on his back foot, and said to Aunt Gu, "Congratulations, sister." ”

Even if he was in charge of the palace, Xu Jia's dress did not get better, and it was even worse than the other aunts in the palace.

Aunt Gu didn't put Xu Jia in her eyes at all: "Cheap maid, she used to be a slave, even if she flew on the branch once, she was still a cheap maid who couldn't be on the table!" ”

Xu Jia was not angry, and even intimately stopped Aunt Gu's hand, ordered someone to put all kinds of good things on the table, and said: "There are not a few old people left in the palace, and it is not worth it for my sister and me to be angry." After all, we've been in this backyard for decades, don't you? ”

Aunt Gu wanted to pull her hand out, but found that she was held by Xu Jia and couldn't move at all.

"You!"

Xu Jia still had a smile on his face, and his voice was even softer than usual, but the chill in it made people shudder: "I don't care what deal has been reached between you and the prince, but if there is a problem in Chu Chu's marriage, I promise that you will be worse off than dead!" ”

Aunt Gu has been struggling.

After hearing Xu Jia's words, he suddenly laughed, slowly stopped struggling, and played with his sleeve quietly: "I thought you had reached an alliance with that little slut, but I didn't expect it...... What's the matter, I'm afraid that Ling Chuchu won't be able to marry and rob your daughter of the position of the princess of Huainan Wang? ”

Xu Jia stared at Aunt Gu's side face and did not answer.

Aunt Gu said very proudly: "If you want me to make trouble, kneel down and beg me!" ”

Xu Jia gradually let go of Aunt Gu's wrist, stood up, obviously didn't take Aunt Gu in his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't think that if the prince lets you out, you can get an inch!" ”

"I'm just here today to give you a warning, if you don't listen, don't blame me!"

On the horizon, there are dark clouds pressing on the top, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Listen to the Lotus Temple.

Yuan Qin sewed a small cloth pocket in the house.

Ling Chuchu was lying on the rocking chair, holding the stove and watching the snow fall in the sky, this year's winter was extraordinarily long, and seeing that it was about to start spring, it was even sprinkled with snow.

Shi Ren knelt beside him and begged: "Miss, it's cold outside, you better go in, in case there are three long and two short in the stomach, this is not a joke." ”

In order to make the pregnancy more widespread, Ling Chuchu had to go around the palace almost every day, touching his belly, looking cautious, Shi Ren and Yuan Qin even raised the volume to ensure that the surrounding minions could hear it.

In just three days, this matter spread all over the city.

Xu Jia led the slave to appear at the door of the Listening Lotus Courtyard, Shi Ren was about to speak, but was stopped by Ling Chuchu, Xu Jia walked in with a smile: "You slave is loyal." ”

Shi Ren went to close the door, and the two walked to the rockery, burned the brazier, and the sound of conversation disappeared into the sound of the wind.

"Aunt Gu lifted the grounding, and set up a banquet in the courtyard tonight, saying that she had thought it through and wanted to apologize to the people she bullied before." Xu Jia's tone was calm, "Who do you think she is targeting?" ”

"Trying to harm my child?"

Ling Chuchu felt funny, and casually played with the teacup in his hand, and said, "Anyway, it's fake, whatever she wants." ”

Xu Jia shook his head, held down the teacup, and said, "What I told you, you should turn a deaf ear?" She took the initiative to come to the door, so as not to let her suffer some losses, and she will not step on your head in the future? ”

As he spoke, he pulled Ling Chuchu's sleeve and leaned on her whisper, but no third person heard it.

In the evening, Ling Chuchu was supported by the slaves and appeared in Aunt Gu's courtyard, there were not many people present, Aunt Gu did not pour wine, but tea.

"County Lord, I used to be a ghost, and I had to compare with the county lord everywhere, but this time I learned a lesson, and I will never do it again, please have a lot of county lords, don't take it to heart."

Before Ling Chuchu sat down, he saw the teacup brought by Aunt Gu.

Aunt Gu is an elder, and now she personally gives her tea, so she can't refuse at all.

Under the gaze of Shi Ren and Yuan Qin, Ling Chuchu's hand almost trembled and picked up the teacup, and then drank the contents of the teacup in one gulp.

Aunt Gu finally smiled.

Holding Ling Chuchu's hand, he pulled her to sit down next to her, and then, I saw her violently push Aunt Gu away, rush to the side of the tree, and vomit violently.

Ling Chuchu's face was a little pale, and his tone was very apologetic: "Auntie, you also know that I ......"

Aunt Gu was not as angry as she imagined, but smiled and asked Ling Chuchu to sit down, and personally changed a few light dishes in front of her, looking very flattering.

"County Lord, these are specially made for you by the kitchen, you can taste it, like it or not."

If Ling Chuchu was really pregnant, it was really unclear which dish Aunt Gu had drugged in this Hongmen banquet.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were full of vigilance, almost every dish, after Yuan Qin and Shi Ren tried it, she was relieved to put down the chopsticks.

"Auntie, you also know that I have a child in my belly, and the minions are extra careful, not intentionally targeting you, and please don't take it to heart."

Aunt Gu bowed her head: "Be vigilant." ”

Yi Xiang stood behind Aunt Gu, feeling that her mouth seemed to be lowering her voice, but everyone present could hear it clearly: "The county lord is so careful, in case the child has three longs and two shorts, it can't rely on our aunt." ”

Ling Chuchu nodded: "This is natural, my aunt is so good today, naturally it won't hurt me." ”

A meal took less than half an hour, and almost all the people present had their own ghosts, and the dishes on the table were almost full of dishes on the table except for a few chopsticks that were moved when they just sat down.

It's getting late.

Ling Chuchu made an excuse and left, hearing that there was already a doctor waiting in the lotus courtyard, Shi Ren put the secretly hidden dishes in front of the doctor.

"Check it quickly, there are some things in it, and I can pretend to be sick according to the medicine."

Ling Chuchu leaned on the edge of the bed and had already picked up the blood bag that had been prepared a long time ago.

The doctor carefully checked it several times and confirmed that almost every dish had abortion pills, and the amount was not light.

It seems that Aunt Gu guessed that she wouldn't eat more, so in order to be safe, she increased the amount just in case.

"Later, the prince will come, you must say that my situation is very dangerous, but in the end, the mother and son must be safe, remember?!"

The doctor is Xu Jia's own person.

Cutting the blood bag and pouring it on the bed, Yuan Qin took warm water and sprinkled Ling Chuchu's body little by little with wicker, pretending to be soaked in cold sweat.

Ling Chuchu hugged the quilt, looking like he was speechless in pain.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, Miss?"

"Come on, Miss is red, come on-"

The palace, which had already fallen asleep, was brightly lit in an instant, Ling Hongyuan had been waiting for the news, nodded with satisfaction, and deliberately waited for Aunt Gu in the study to go to the Listening Lotus Courtyard.

Listen to the chaos in the lotus courtyard.

Ling Hongyuan wanted to rush into the room, but was stopped by Xu Jia.

"Lord Wang, this matter should not be publicized, you see ......"

Xu Jia's gaze swept over the lively minions who were hiding around, Ling Hongyuan's face sank, and said, "Today's matter, if there is even a little bit of news going out, all of them will be beaten to death!" ”

The minions retreated in fright, and the door to the courtyard was shut.

Xu Jia's cold eyes stopped at Aunt Gu: "You are really ruthless!" ”

Aunt Gu wasn't afraid at all, she hid behind Ling Hongyuan, looking like she had been framed.

Ling Hongyuan said: "Okay, this matter can't be sure of Gu ......."

"Lord Wang!" Xu Jia burst into tears in an instant and said, "Do you know what the doctor said just now? This medicine is dangerous, if you are not careful, it is one corpse and two lives, and even now, Chu Chu's life is held, but ......"

"But what?!"

Xu Jia choked up, and then said: "But it is very likely that I will not be able to get pregnant in the future......

Ling Hongyuan stumbled under his feet, almost didn't stand firm, if a woman was infertile, even if it was the county lord, even if it was the concubine of the palace, it was likely that no one would come to the door to say goodbye.

Ling Hongyuan had just put pressure on the Lu Mansion, in case it ...... Isn't it a bamboo basket for water?

Ling Hongyuan pulled Aunt Gu out from behind him.

Aunt Gu was also frightened, she didn't expect such a serious consequence at all: "She...... She didn't eat much of tonight's dishes at all, how could she ......"

Xu Jia's eyes were cold.

And at this moment, there were bursts of screams from the room.

"Gu Tian!"

Ling Hongyuan was furious, and Aunt Gu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang......"

Seeing that Ling Hongyuan was about to make a move, he was stopped by Xu Jia and said, "Lord Wang, the county lord is still very dangerous now, and it is not appropriate to see blood in the palace now, why don't you wait for the county lord to get out of danger first, and then deal with Aunt Gu?" ”

Ling Hongyuan squinted his eyes and stared at Aunt Gu who was kneeling at his feet, and after a long time, he nodded reluctantly: "For the sake of Chu Chu's safety, I will keep you first!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your ......" Aunt Gu broke into a cold sweat, and when she heard Ling Hongyuan let herself go for the time being, she instantly collapsed to the ground.

In the room, Ling Chuchu's screams gradually became smaller.

The doctor pushed open the door and came out, and the silver needle in his hand didn't have time to put it away: "Although it is dangerous, the county lord is fine." ”

"What about the kids? How's the baby in her belly?! "Ling Hongyuan is the most nervous thing.

The doctor's dowry didn't know what Ling Hongyuan meant, and said with a smile: "The child is blessed with a great life, and he has also been saved." ”

Ling Hongyuan threw the doctor to the ground: "What did you say?!" ”

Ling Hongyuan still wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Xu Jia, and gave the doctor a look, and the doctor hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, if the child in the county lord's womb is not kept, he may not be able to get pregnant in the future, and the little one ......."

Ling Hongyuan was silent for a moment, and waved his hand to let the doctor out.

Aunt Gu kept her head down, and when she reacted and looked back at the doctor, there was only one back left.

"Lord ......"

Ling Hongyuan kicked Aunt Gu's heart violently, Aunt Gu fell to the ground, quickly got up, and crawled to Ling Hongyuan's feet.

"Lord, the concubine is ......"

originally wanted Ling Chuchu to have a miscarriage, so that he could get out of the marriage.

But now, because of Aunt Gu's medicine, not only can she not use abortion medicine in the future, but she even has to carefully protect the child in Ling Chuchu's belly.

"Slut!"

Raising his hand was another slap, and Ling Hongyuan's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Aunt Gu.

Xu Jia stood aside, did not fall into the well, and even kept pulling Ling Hongyuan, and said: "Lord Wang, Aunt Gu also wants to share your worries, but the medicine is too fierce, and the original intention is still towards you." The prince doesn't have to worry, he can't fall now, isn't there still the Lu family, Lu Qingran is the father of the child, they can't get out of the marriage. ”

Ling Hongyuan was reminded like this, and kicked at Aunt Gu again.

"Slut, that's the idea you struck!"

First let Ling Hongyuan put pressure on the Lu family, let the Lu family withdraw from the marriage, and then let Ling Chuchu lose her fertility and can't say goodbye again.

"Lord, the concubine didn't think about this, the concubine really didn't have a ......"

Aunt Gu wanted to pounce on Ling Hongyuan's body, but she was pulled by the slave and couldn't move at all, her delicate tears were sparked by the delicate makeup, and she looked as terrifying as a ghost at first glance.

Xu Jia pretended not to know anything, took Ling Hongyuan's hand, and said, "Lord Wang, is there anything wrong with the Lu family's relatives?" It's better to let the concubine say that the concubine was still a little hypocritical with Mrs. Lu before, and if there is any misunderstanding, it can be explained clearly. ”

Ling Hongyuan's frowning brows finally relaxed, "Okay, you will go to the Lu Mansion for this king tomorrow." ”

Xu Jia intended to help Aunt Gu, and was about to take advantage of Ling Hongyuan's anger to let the minions drag Aunt Gu away so as not to be hurt again, but found that Aunt Gu's skirt was red with blood.

"Lord Wang!"

Xu Jia was shocked and hurriedly called the house doctor.

Aunt Gu was frightened and panicked, she didn't feel anything, but after seeing the bloodstains, her lower abdomen suddenly hurt slightly, covering her stomach, and she was in a cold sweat.

"Lord, the concubine is ......"

There was such a big thing in the house, and the house doctor had been waiting by the side, and after calling the pulse for Aunt Gu, he said: "Lord Qi, Aunt Gu is a sign of miscarriage." ”

No one in the palace has been pregnant for a long time.

Aunt Gu covered her stomach, and even couldn't believe the words of the house doctor, frowning suspiciously: "What did you say?" Am I pregnant? ”

The house doctor nodded, and then shook his head: "Please help my aunt to the room, and the little one will give the aunt a needle." ”

"My aunt misused the abortion pill, and she was injured just now, and the child in her belly is very dangerous, please be sure to cooperate with the little one and strive to keep the child."

One night, two masters in a row had signs of miscarriage.

Ling Hongyuan, like Aunt Gu, was stunned.

Only Xu Jia's eyes were shining, and with a smile, he held Ling Hongyuan's hand and said, "What's wrong with the prince?" Aren't you happy that you're going to be a daddy? ”

Xu Jia's voice was soft and glutinous, and this sentence "Daddy" suddenly made Ling Hongyuan excited.

"Daddy?"

"yes!" Xu Jiadao: "Didn't the prince always say that there was no son to inherit the title? As long as Aunt Gu has a baby in one fell swoop, won't your wish come true?! ”

Ling Hongyuan smiled.

And Aunt Gu had also been carried to the room by her subordinates, Xu Jia took Ling Hongyuan's hand, walked to Ling Chuchu's room, and said, "Chu Chu has suffered such a big crime today, let's go and take a look." ”

Ling Chuchu was lying on the bed, his face pale.

She saw Ling Hongyuan enter the door and wanted to get out of bed to salute, but she was too weak to move.

"Daddy......"

Ling Hongyuan nodded at her and said, "You have a good rest, Daddy will go to discuss the marriage with the Lu family immediately, don't worry." ”

Ling Chuchu nodded slightly, and his voice was weak: "Daddy Xie." ”

The father and daughter were not intimate, and when such a thing happened, sitting together, they were almost speechless.

Seeing Yuan Qin come in with a decoction, Ling Hongyuan wanted to leave, but was pulled by Xu Jia.

With a glance from Xu Jia, Ling Hongyuan knew that Xu Jia had already guessed that Aunt Gu had done something to Ling Chu, and she was self-instructed, so she subconsciously sat in her position and didn't dare to move.

Coupled with such a thing, Ling Hongyuan also felt a little guilty about Ling Chuchu, although he had nothing to say, he still sat in the room.

And Aunt Gu, who was carried to the next room, noticed that something was wrong.

She looked at the closed door, Mama Liu and Yi Xiang were blocked out, screaming: "What about my minions, why did you lock them out, let Mama Liu come in, hurry up and let Mama Liu ......"

The house doctor took out the silver needle and slowly pricked it down from Aunt Gu's head, "Auntie, you have to trust the doctor in this kind of thing, your minions won't help much when they come in, and it will cause chaos for the doctor, so it's better to let them wait outside......

Aunt Gu's eyes were flustered.

Looking at it again, the house doctor was very faced, and wanted to leave, but found that he couldn't move anywhere except his hands: "You...... Who are you and what do you want to do?! ”

The house doctor frowned and said, "Auntie, you have signs of miscarriage, I am naturally saving the child in your belly for you, you better not struggle, in case the child is gone, the prince is angry, it is difficult for us to be subordinates......"

When Aunt Gu heard the word child, her eyes were a little loose.

The right hand slowly touched his stomach, as if he really felt that there was a little guy in it: "Child...... The prince has been taking medicine all these years, how can I have a child? ”

The house doctor smiled: "Auntie, you don't know? The prince has stopped taking the medicine a long time ago. ”

Aunt Gu was extremely shocked, and even couldn't believe the words of the house doctor, the questioning words had already reached her mouth, but she still couldn't say it, she just shook her head vigorously: "Impossible, the prince can't let his aunt get pregnant anymore, with that person, how can the prince have other children, impossible, this can't be ......"

Although I didn't believe it, I still subconsciously protected my stomach.

"My child, will it be okay?"

The doctor smiled but said nothing.

One by one, the silver needles pierced into Aunt Gu's body, and immediately after, Aunt Gu felt that something was leaving her body.

This is not the feeling of protecting a tire at all.

"You...... What are you doing?! ”

Aunt Gu struggled, not knowing if the silver needle was loose, Aunt Gu found that she could move, and suddenly rolled from the bed to the ground.

Everything on the side of the bed fell to the floor.

"Auntie, what are you doing, auntie, don't move, for the sake of your child, you ......"

Aunt Gu walked out: "It's just for my own child, so I can't let you give me an injection anymore, you quack!" ”

The sound of things falling shocked Ling Hongyuan.

Ling Hongyuan slammed open the door, and saw that Aunt Gu wanted to go out despite the obstacles, and her body was still bleeding.

When Aunt Gu saw Ling Hongyuan, tears flowed: "Lord Wang, he is a quack, he wants to harm our children......"

Ling Hongyuan followed Aunt Gu's finger and looked over.

The palace doctor knelt on the ground, Xu Jia knelt beside the palace doctor, and said: "Doctor Liu was once the imperial doctor in the palace, the prince should know Doctor Liu's medical skills, because he offended the judgment of the Tai Hospital, he was kicked out of the palace, and the concubine invited him to come, also for the sake of the whole house, how did he get to Aunt Gu and become a quack?" ”

"Please check it out!"
