That night, the woman finally lost the fetus after struggling for a long time, and the servant woman who was in charge of her hurriedly stepped forward to check on the fetus and confirm that the fetus had landed.

The woman struggled for two or three days, and every day she had to take care of her servant to bring her some dry cakes and water, and she survived. Three days later, Mrs. Zhenguo sent someone to see her, and found that although she was weak, her breath was smooth and she had no worries about her life.

The princess of Zhenguo had already lost the fetus in the woman's womb, so she was ready to keep her promise, and sent her henchman in front of her to pull a donkey cart to send the woman to a farmer in her dowry, leaving the silver taels to wait for her to take care of herself, and then let the farmer send her away.

"Mother, did you really send her away like that?" When the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi was serving in front of her, she asked with some puzzlement. "Although people poured her dumb medicine, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is perfect."

"Don't worry, I have someone to keep an eye on her, once she makes any moves, it will be too late to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi was kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin and praying, while talking to her eldest daughter-in-law. "Princess Nan'an is still pregnant with a child for Brother You, let that woman have an abortion and see the blood is enough, leaving her life should be worth some virtue for my future grandchildren."

And all this that happened recently in the Zhenguo Mansion, Xiao Lu, who was full of joy to raise a baby in the princess's mansion, always knew nothing.

Emperor Chu was gracious and allowed Concubine Chen, who was worried about Xiao Lu, to go out of the palace to visit, and Concubine Chen collected the things of the two carriages and took them to Princess Nan'an's mansion together.

Concubine Chen held Xiao Lu's hand, rarely without tears, and asked Xiao Lu about her recent situation in detail.

"Good boy, you just take care of the baby." Concubine Chen looked at Xiao Lu, whose face was becoming more and more peaceful, and felt very relieved. "If there is anything in the princess's mansion, just send someone into the palace to tell it. If the mother concubine is not capable of doing a good job, she will go to the queen in person. ”

"Mother, don't worry." Xiao Lu said with a smile. "Now the colt and I are very good, although I don't have the energy to ask about the affairs in the princess's mansion recently, but the parrot and the mandarin duck are very useful, and there is an order to do things, so I don't have to worry about it at all. The imperial physician was also instructed by my father to check my pulse every five days. ”

"Have you been throwing up lately? How is the baby in your belly? How is your appetite for food these days? ”

"Mother, I've been doing well lately. Except for the fact that I vomited a few times from time to time when I first found out that I was pregnant, the baby is fine now and my appetite is good. But the doctor told me not to eat too much. ”

"That's good, that's good." Concubine Chen was pleased. "This time, it was Your Majesty's grace that I was able to go out of the palace to see you in the princess's mansion, and after today, I don't know when the next time I see you."

Concubine Chen said as she took off the Buddhist bead bracelet she had worn for many years, and took Xiao Lu's hand to put it on her.

"This bracelet was worn on my hand when I was pregnant with you."

"Thank you, Princess."

"What do you say, you are my only child, if I don't give you my things, can't I give them back to others." Concubine Chen said. "You got pregnant less than a year after you got married, and when you give birth to a child safely, when the child is older, you will bring it into the palace to let Your Majesty be close and close."

"Yes, Mother, I know it in my heart."

The time for Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu's mother and daughter to get together passed too quickly, and soon Concubine Chen was going back to the palace.

Xiao Lu had to send Concubine Chen away in person, and before leaving, Xiao Lu promised to enter the palace to visit Concubine Chen when she was five months pregnant.

"You don't have to take care of your mother when you are pregnant, and the left and right mother concubines are doing well in the palace." Concubine Chen hurriedly turned around and instructed. "When the child is born in the future, we will still have a chance to meet."

"Mother, I'm fine, even the imperial doctor said that by the time of five months, if the fetal phase is stable, I should move around more, and I can't blindly recuperate, which is not conducive to production."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Concubine Chen boarded the carriage, but she was reluctant to look around. "The concubine has gone back to the palace, you go back and rest."

Concubine Chen returned to the palace and met Xiao Xuan on the way back to Yuxiu Palace.

"I've seen Concubine Chen." Xiao Xuan stepped forward and asked with a smile. "Looking at Concubine Chen's mother, she looks like she just came back from the palace, is she going to visit her eldest sister?"

"Yes, Your Majesty kindly allowed me to go out of the palace to visit, and I really missed her in my heart, so I hurried to pass today." Concubine Chen visited her daughter, she was in a very happy mood, and she was happy to stop talking to Xiao Xuan. "By the way, she also showed me the Guanyin you sent today. She loved it and put it in her room. ”

"Really? It's best if the big sister likes it. Xiao Xuan said. Is everything okay with big sister? ”

"It's all good, the horse gets along well with her, there are no naughty people in the house, the parrots and mandarin ducks she brought out have to be used, and everything is fine in the princess's house."

"That's great." Xiao Xuan always had a smile on his face.

After seeing Concubine Chen leave, Xiao Xuan, who was standing in place, turned around and returned to Yihua Palace.

"Where did you go today?" Seeing that Xiao Xuan had only been out for a while and came back, Emperor Liu couldn't help asking. "I just went out without a stick of incense, why did I come back again?"

"Just hang out." Xiao Xuan sat down and said. "When I came back, I met Concubine Chen on the road, she just went out of the palace to visit the eldest sister today, looking at Concubine Chen's very good mood, probably really saw the eldest sister and had a good life."

When Concubine Liu heard this, her hand that was about to be raised with the teacup suddenly froze there.

"Mother?" Xiao Xuan saw it and asked.

"Nothing." Concubine Liu came back to her senses, brought the tea cup to her lips and took a sip. "She only has such a daughter under her knees, as a mother, she should be happy when the child is complete."

After Emperor Chu took charge of the Jiangnan case and closed the case with a criminal committing suicide in fear of crime, King Jin Jun completely fell out of favor in front of Emperor Chu, and even all his errands were erased by Emperor Chu, so he had to be idle in the county king's mansion.

It stands to reason that Xiao Jin, who has been competing with Xiao Yu, is about to lose, and Concubine Liu should be happy.

But when the news of Emperor Chu's reprimand for the throne reached her ears recently, Emperor Liu's concubine still felt a little apprehensive in her heart.

Emperor Chu has the love of being a father, and he has the taboo of being an emperor.

But Xiao Jin fell too fast, and Xiao Yu saw that he was about to stand out in this storage position.

One day, Concubine De congratulated her, and she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart.

"Mother is doing this because someone in the court recently proposed to ask the emperor to appoint the eldest brother as the prince?" There are some things that Xiao Xuan can know without taking the initiative to inquire. "Mother is worried about the eldest brother?"

"Do you know how your second brother is doing?" Concubine Liu put down the teacup and said that it was not Xiao Yu but Xiao Jin's matter.

"What can the second brother do, didn't my father give his errands to the fourth brother to do?" Xiao Xuan said suspiciously. "I met my second sister-in-law a few days ago, and she said that since the second brother made the king of Jinjun, she has not left the palace of the county king."

"He didn't leave the county king's mansion, but what he did and did in the mansion, your father and emperor knew it clearly." Emperor Liu's concubine closed her eyes tiredly. "He killed the staff and maids in the house, and a few days ago he almost killed the concubine Liao in the house with a knife, and Liao's daughter was frightened on the spot and almost died."

Xiao Xuan knew Liao's origin, and knew that Xiao Jin's abuse of Liao's family was nothing more than anger. But when she heard that Liao's daughter almost died, she couldn't help but feel unbearable for the sick little girl.

Xiao Xuan has no friendship with the Liao family, and the Liao family has very few opportunities to enter the palace, not to mention her daughter who is not loved by her father and mother.

Liao's family wanted to give birth to a son, but she was born with a sick girl.

Xiao Jin is even more patriarchal, and he doesn't care about the girls born under the Hu family, let alone a girl who is born from the knees.

Xiao Xuan has only seen the sick and timid girl a few times from afar at the palace banquet during the New Year's holiday, and every time Xiao Xuan's position at the palace banquet is next to Emperor Chu, she likes the child, and every time the palace banquet is surrounded by many children talking and laughing and playing, the girl has always looked at this side with envy.

"The second brother is getting worse and worse." Xiao Xuan thought about the girl's appearance, and her heart tightened. "Killing the staff and maids is just a straw mat that can bear fruit, the Liao family is a serious side concubine who has gone to the sect's jade, if he really kills her, I'm afraid that more things will happen."

"Yes, fortunately, Hu Shi rushed in time to save Liao and her daughter. Liao didn't expect Xiao Jin to actually raise a knife to her, and she was scared of half her life and couldn't get up in bed. Hu personally took her daughter to his yard and finally saved the child's life. "Speaking of Xiao Jin's concubine Hu." I can't imagine that such a flying and proud girl in the draft back then, married to such a person, can still do this, it is very rare. ”

In order to choose a concubine for the prince back then, the Hu family was instigated to know about the things that the Zhao family had done, but since Xiao Xuan came forward to solve the matter, Emperor Liu naturally would not interfere anymore.

With Hu's background and appearance, and looking at her current situation, even Emperor Liu's concubine couldn't help but sigh for her.

"In the past, the second sister-in-law grew up in the boudoir carefree, and her temperament is naturally different from now." Xiao Xuan frowned. "Is this matter in trouble with my father now?"

"He almost killed the side concubine that His Majesty gave him to marry, and no one dares to hide this matter from His Majesty." On the day the news came in, Emperor Liu's concubine happened to be driving in Lingyun Palace. His Majesty immediately sent Wu Chuan out of the palace to the county king's mansion to scold him, saying that he should not be the county king if he made trouble again. Even the queen heard the news and came to Lingyun Palace, but before she could speak, she was reprimanded by Her Majesty. ”
