Chapter 367: Survive
Murong Yan's almost desperate scream reached Queen Su's ears.
Queen Su's whole body was shocked, and a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Oh, yes! After the prince drank the tea, he had a medicinal attack, and he had a love of fish and water with Murong Yan. In case the heavens had mercy, it left blood in Murong Yan's belly......
Queen Su's voice was difficult to speak, and she quickly glanced at Fu Zi.
In this world, the person who knows Queen Su best is none other than Fu Zi. With just one glance, Fu Zi understood Queen Su's intentions.
Fu Zi sighed in her heart, the expression on her face slowed down slightly, and she called a few palace people to come over in a deep voice: "You send Concubine Murong back to the heavenly prison. No one is allowed to come even half a step closer."
"Three meals a day, there must be meat and vegetables, so that Concubine Murong can eat enough."
Several stout, sturdy and powerful palace people responded, dragged up Murong Yan, who was crying and was paralyzed, and dragged them out all the way.
Queen Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly leaned on Fu Zi's side, tears flowing, soaking a small piece of Fu Zi's clothes.
Fu Zi was full of sadness, stretched out her hand to hug her fragile and weak master, and comforted in a low voice: "For the time being, leave this cheap maid to live for a few more days, and after more than a month, you will see." If she is not pregnant, she will be slashed with a thousand knives to sacrifice to the spirit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in heaven."
"If she is really happy, let her give birth to a child, and then send her to Yellow Springs."
In short, Murong Yan will definitely die.
Queen Su's shoulders trembled, she reached out to wipe away her tears, and nodded.
At this time, Murong Yan was like a fish on the chopping board and thrown into the water, and he was able to survive temporarily. The horror and excitement of escaping death made her mind go blank.
She was dragged back to the prison, where heavy chains locked the iron door. The palace people who guarded the prison door quickly left.
Murong Yan sat on the ground sluggishly, and after a long time, her stiff limbs gained strength, and the previous scene came to mind.
Murong Yan suddenly covered her face with her hands, and her mouth seemed to be laughing and crying. Soon, tears welled up between my fingers.
She didn't want to kill the prince.
She married into the East Palace, and no matter how cold the prince treated her, he was also her husband and her lifelong dependence. How could she want to kill her husband?
She listened to her mother's instigation in a daze, and drugged the prince's tea, but she was ...... It's just that I don't want to be left out in the cold, I want to be close to the prince, I want to get pregnant and give birth to an heir as soon as possible, I want to win the favor of the prince and the queen, I want to overpower Su Huan, and I want to become the princess of the East Palace...... qδ.net
Now, it's all over.
The prince had a heart attack and died with a whimper. Her dreams came to naught. What awaits her will be a doom.
Unless, she is pregnant with the prince's blood in her belly.
Murong Yan tried his best to wipe away his tears with his sleeve, trembling and touching his flat lower abdomen. Then put his hands together and silently pray to God.
A man from the East Palace quietly stepped to the hosta and whispered a few words.
The hosta nodded invisibly, leaned into Zhao Xiyan's ear, and said in a low voice: "The princess, the queen mother asked the concubine Murong to be brought, but for some reason, she was put back in the prison."
Zhao Xiyan nodded slightly, his eyes flickering slightly.
Queen Su, who experienced the severe pain of losing her son, was willing to spare Murong Yan. The reason for this is not difficult to guess.
The probability of having joy once is extremely low. However, there is always a glimmer of hope. Therefore, Queen Su endured her anger and let Murong Yan continue to live in the world.
She wasn't flustered, she wasn't apprehensive. She even hoped that Queen Su would get her wish. The prince really has a bloodline left in the world.
There was a commotion in the mourning hall.
Zhao Xiyan came back to his senses in an instant, turned his head and looked, and saw that Mrs. Shangshu, who was over sixty years old and full of white hair, fainted.
Among the ladies who entered the palace and knelt down, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was not the oldest, but this lady was sick all year round. After kneeling in the mourning hall for two days, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Queen Su was not there, Su Huan was lying on the bed, and the only person in charge of the East Palace was her, the princess of the King of Beihai.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at it, called two palace people, and ordered, "You help your wife down to rest."
Hey, ask the Imperial Doctor to come and take a look."
The two palace people meekly received the order.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was quickly helped down.
In the next half day, two more elderly and frail old ladies were helped to rest.
The ladies who knelt down were much more relieved when they saw Zhao Xiyan's actions. The princess of the king of Beihai lived in a simple life in the past, and rarely interacted with people. Everyone only knows that she is beautiful and charming, and they are not familiar with her temperament.
In the past two days, I learned that in addition to being beautiful and talented, the princess of Beihai also has the advantages of being calm, acting calmly, and being rigid and soft.
It was getting dark again.
The palace people carried a basket of steamed buns and a bucket of cold water into the mourning hall. During the prince's funeral, the palace had to eat cold food, and no meat could be seen.
Zhao Xiyan silently picked up the steamed bun and ate it slowly.
It has been three full days since she entered the palace. In the past three days, Xu Fang, Xu Zhi, and Xu Ying also entered the palace one after another to kneel. Xiaoguo'er Xiaohua'er was too small to be carried into the palace, and was left in the palace to be taken care of by the nurses.
She couldn't feed the baby for three days, and her chest was swollen all the time, and she was very uncomfortable.
If this continues, the milk will swell back, and she will want to feed the child in the future, but there will be no milk. Think about it, I can't help the child.
Unfortunately, there is no other way. At such times, she had to hold on.
A figure crept over.
Zhao Xiyan put down the steamed bun in his hand and said in a low voice, "Third sister, have you eaten it?"
Everyone is eating steamed buns and drinking cold water, and they can't help but walk around and talk. Xu Ying came over quietly, and it was not so eye-catching.
"I ate half a steamed bun." Xu Ying lowered her voice and said, "I really don't have an appetite, I can't eat."
Zhao Xiyan actually couldn't eat it, so he forced himself to eat it. If she also falls, there is not even a backbone in this mourning hall.
Zhao Xiyan took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it slowly.
Xu Ying saw it in her eyes, quite distressed, and said in a low voice, "Crescent Yue'er, I've worked hard for you these past few days."
If you want to wear a crown, you must first accept its weight. This principle is not only applicable to Xu Jing, but also to Zhao Xiyan. There are so many people inside and outside the mourning hall, so many pairs of eyes, all looking at her.
The slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified.
Therefore, she can't be wrong, and she has to be extraordinarily outstanding in order to add chips to Xu Jing.
Zhao Xiyan replied softly, "I'm not tired. I just want little fruits and little flowers."
Xu Ying stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Xiyan's hand: "Don't worry, before I entered the palace, I specially instructed the nurse to take care of the child carefully these days. I leave all the maids around me with the children, and the nurses will never dare to be negligent."
Zhao Xiyan snorted and continued to eat steamed buns and drink cold water.
Xu Ying was silent for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Crescent Yue'er, I heard that Murong Yan's cheap maid was taken out of the prison, and the queen mother didn't kill her, but let her go back to the prison."
