The second prince, who was only three days old, actually suffered from a disability. This matter soon spread outside the palace, and almost throughout the capital.

The people of the Tong family, listening to the gossip outside, were complicated and tormented in their hearts.

Tong Yao's days in the palace were also not easy. No matter how she cried and tossed, she couldn't take half a step out of Chuxiu Palace.

Xu was forced to be anxious, she wanted to hit the wall to find a short sight, but the palace maid blocked her with her body to protect her safety.

"Mother, what are you doing here? The concubines in the palace committed suicide, but it was a big taboo. ”

The concubine committed suicide, and she was not the only one who was convicted, but also the servants from the top and bottom of Chuxiu Palace, and the mother's family also had to be convicted together.

Tong Yao was out of balance after childbirth, her body was haggard, her face was pale, and she looked like a person made of paper.

"The prince of this palace is gone, what is the point of living in this palace?"

Tong Yao's forehead was broken and bleeding.

The palace maid comforted: "Niangniang, you can't say this." His Royal Highness the Second Prince is obviously still there. Mother, or you should go to the queen mother and admit your mistake. ”

As long as the mother is willing to bow her head, the queen has no reason to snatch the second prince. He is not her biological child, and he has the disease of rabbit deficiency.

What does the queen want him to do? As long as the mother is willing to bow her head, maybe everything still has room to turn around.

Tong Yao couldn't listen to her persuasion, and she cried more and more.

She was crying, and someone outside suddenly came to report: "Niangniang, Master Wu is here." ”

Tong Yao was stunned when she heard this, blinked her eyes full of tears, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, pass quickly!" ”

Although the queen ordered her to be grounded, she did not say that other concubines were not allowed to enter or leave here.

Wu Xue'er was the first person to come to see her, and she must have come to help her.

She is not naïve, it's just that at this time, there is no one around her to rely on, and someone is better than no one.

However, Wu Xue'er came to comfort her, she deliberately endured it for two days before coming over, just to prevent her from seeing the corners of her mouth that she always couldn't help but purs.

Tong Yao fell short and gave birth to a prince, but it was better not to give birth. And the attitude and practice of the queen mother surprised her even more.

Is the queen a hypocrisy, or is she sincere? No one knows at the moment, Wu Xueer thought angrily in her heart. It's rare to have such an opportunity to make the harem waves, so she naturally has to take advantage of it.

Wu Xue'er slowly entered the hall, and smelled a bitter medicinal smell on the tip of her nose.

Tong Yao had a disheveled hair, a wound on her forehead, and she was curled up on the side of the bed alone, unkempt and panicked, looking like a madman.

"Ouch, my good sister!" Wu Xue'er pretended to be surprised and snorted softly, walked to her bedside in a hurry, and said, "But I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you emaciated like this." It's poor ......."

When Tong Yao saw her, she immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Sister save me, sister save me......"

Her nails were sharp, and Wu Xue'er's wrists hurt.

She frowned slightly, trying to shake off her hand, but she held it tightly.

Tong Yao held her hand and didn't let go, only treating her as the only life-saving talisman.

"Sister, you must help Hongu find a way. Hongu can't just ...... like that."

Wu Xue'er saw that her eyes were dilated, her face was stiff, and she smiled coldly in her heart.

You deserve to be out of luck! When you were pregnant, everyone said you were blessed! Why, you are blessed, come quickly, go faster. You survived the pregnancy in October, and you also survived the pain of childbirth. It's a pity, it's a pity, you haven't been able to share any of your blessings with the imperial heir in your womb......

Wu Xue'er has not seen the appearance of the second prince with her own eyes, but I heard that the child is extremely ugly, like a monster.

"Sister, why are you doing this? My sister has a meritorious role in giving birth to the prince, and when the emperor comes back, she will definitely be promoted to the position of her sister. ”

Tong Yao shook her head again and again, crying and said, "No, no......"

If the emperor saw the child, he would definitely be disgusted.

Not only will he hate the second prince, but he will also hate her and see her as an ominous person.

Wu Xue'er deliberately said lightly, and took out a calm attitude: "My sister has always been a smart person, why did she do something stupid this time." His Royal Highness the Second Prince is only slightly crippled, but he is still the son of the emperor and the blood of the royal family. ”

"What's the use of this palace wanting such a prince? What's the use of the emperor wanting such a son? ”

Tong Yao's mind was confused and sober for a while, she thought about it for a while and said, "No, this palace will not give birth to such a child!" It must have been the queen mother who played some tricks and stumbling blocks on me behind my back. ”

After ten months of hard pregnancy, Jiao Changqing and the doctors at Tai Hospital have always said that the fetus in her womb is very healthy.

Wu Xue'er frowned and asked, "What will the queen mother do?" My sister must be too hearty. ”

"How not? It had to be her. It was she who secretly changed the children of Hongu! ”

The facts were obviously in front of her, but she still insisted that Meng Xilan was making trouble behind her back.

Wu Xue'er shook her head slightly: "Sister, now, don't say this kind of headless and tailless words." ”

The people in the palace have already figured out what happened back then.

Meng Xilan didn't have a chance to do anything at all, and if she did, she wouldn't be left alive.

The second prince was indeed born to Tong Yao, and if there is a mistake, it is only her own fault.

Hearing that she almost strangled her flesh and bones that day, Wu Xueer remembered, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.

Looking at her delicate appearance, I didn't expect that she could really make such a dead hand!

"My sister was anxious first...... Let me figure it out for you. ”

Tong Yao's brows relaxed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately stopped crying.

Wu Xue'er actually had an idea in her heart, and was deliberately silent for a while before she said, "Right now, my sister only has two choices. ”

Tong Yao sat up straight and listened carefully.

"My sister will either obey the queen's orders and stay in this Chuxiu Palace honestly. Then, when the emperor returned from his southern tour and returned to the palace, his sister went to explain to the emperor everything that happened. There is another option, the younger sister cheers up, finds an opportunity to confess to the queen mother, asks for her forgiveness, and takes His Royal Highness the second prince back. ”

Tong Yao's eyes widened when she heard this, and her face was full of expressions of resistance. She didn't want either option.

"Sister......

Wu Xue'er held her hand hard, and said in a heavy tone: "Sister, I'm all for your good." Now that the emperor is not in the palace, these six palaces, so much so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to listen to her. My sister is now working against the queen, and it really doesn't do any good. ”

Tong Yao lowered her eyes and listened, unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything to refute.

She knew that she was hitting a stone with an egg, and she was not vulnerable at all. But now that the matter has come to this, will there be room for turnaround?

"Sister, you've thought about it. The second prince is your own child, even if he is not good, he is also the emperor's child. The emperor is not a merciless person, and he must have pity for the child! Sister, think about it, if the emperor really pities the second prince, it is equivalent to pity your sister. ”

To put it bluntly, no matter what, she still has a child in her hand. Even if you use it, you have to use him to firmly grasp the emperor's heart.

Tong Yao's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and she seemed to be moved.

"Sister, think about it. You are still a mother, and the days to come will be long, and you will have children sooner or later. Since the second prince was born to you, you can't give it to others. The queen's mother is so deep in the city, if she thinks of this layer, it will be difficult for you to get the child back. ”

Wu Xue'er listened to what she said, and secretly laughed in her heart.

Sure enough, there is nothing difficult about being kind and pretentious, as long as you are blindfolded and talk nonsense.

Tong Yao bit her lip and pondered. I thought to myself, what she said was not completely unreasonable.

"However, I almost ...... before" mentioned the events of that day, Tong Yao herself couldn't talk about it.

She looked down at her hands and said with a slight tremble: "When the queen mother grounded me, she once said that I was not worthy of being the prince's mother. ”

Wu Xue'er frowned when she heard this: "As long as my sister behaves well, the queen will definitely be soft-hearted." ”

Meng Xilan may not really be soft-hearted, but what good is it for her to keep the second prince by her side? Not to mention the trouble, if the child has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it all become hers.

"But I'm still in lockdown......

There are not one or two problems in front of us.

Wu Xue'er smiled slightly, and only said: "Sister, just look for what I say, and when the time is right, I will let the queen mother see your intentions." ”

Grounded is grounded, but she is still Tong Jieyu's mother, and she is also the biological mother of the second prince.

Although Meng Xilan took the child away, she must have her own thoughts in her heart.

At the Tai Hospital, he had to come over every day to diagnose Tong Yao's pulse. As long as she can play a good scene, things will be much easier.

Wu Xue'er pressed Tong Yao's shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "From Ming'er onwards, you are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore, just pretend to be sad." It's best to let everyone know how much you miss His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

Tong Yao pondered for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "I know ......" After saying this, there were tears in her eyes: "Sister, you are so good to me." ”

As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth. In the past few years, their relationship has been estranged a lot, but I didn't expect that when she was in trouble, the first person who could think of her was Wu Xueer.

Wu Xue'er smiled again when she heard this: "What did my sister say?" Let's enter the palace together and live together in the shadow of the queen's mother, shouldn't we have one heart? Sister, don't worry, I will always be on your side in the future. ”

Tong Yao nodded gratefully, nothing else but tears.

After Wu Xue'er comforted her for a while, she leaned into her ear again and whispered softly.

When everything was arranged, she got up to leave.

Before she walked out of Chuxiu Palace, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

Stupid, stupid, you think I'm really helping her? Hmph, how could it be!

In this game of chess, she has to go down slowly, well, and in the end, no matter whether it is Tong Yao or Meng Xilan, she will be trampled under her feet and unable to turn over!

Early the next morning, Tong Yao began to pretend to be sick and sad, and the people from the Tai Hospital spread the news all the way.

However, the person who told Meng Xilan was still Jiao Changqing. After all, he knows everything about things in the palace.

"Listen to you, she's regained her senses?" Meng Xilan closed her eyes and asked quietly.

The corners of Jiao Changqing's mouth hooked slightly when he heard this: "Niangniang, in Weichen's opinion, Xiao Master Tong has never had any madness. ”

She is just unwilling, unwilling that her son will be like this.

"Little Master Tong knows very well in her heart that she can't frame her mother, and she can only bear the bitter consequences in the future."

Meng Xilan rubbed her temples annoyedly and said, "It's okay if she's sober or muddy." The palace will not hand over the second prince to her. ”
