"The little princess was born weak. She cried twice like a kitten and then died."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lejin was taken aback.

"Understood. Liuying, go to the Prince's Residence yourself and ask Consort Hui and the Second Prince to properly take care of the child who just died. Although she died at birth, she was still the Emperor's granddaughter."

Liu Ying respectfully responded.

After hesitating for a moment, Liuying continued, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, but I am not sure if I should say it?"

Looking up at the fireflies, Xu Lejin parted her lips slightly.

"What is it? Please speak freely."

After a quick moment of consideration, Liu Ying lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the First Prince's residence. One of the First Prince's maids was pregnant, but the First Prince ordered her to be beaten to death."

"、、、、"

Xu Lejin looked surprised.

She remembered that the eldest prince, Yinzhi, had only one son and one daughter over the years: the eldest son born to Lady Guarjia Shi and the eldest daughter born to a concubine.

The palace maid serving the First Prince was pregnant. Although she was of low social status, she was carrying the First Prince's child. Why was she ordered to be beaten to death?

After a moment, Xu Lejin said in a deep voice, "Why did the First Prince order the pregnant palace maid to be beaten to death?"

"Your Majesty, according to the palace servants in the First Prince's courtyard, it seems that the pregnant palace maid who was ordered to be beaten to death never served the First Prince from beginning to end."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lejin suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's how it is, so that's how it is. It must have been some palace maid who secretly conceived with a palace guard, and before she could figure out how to deal with it, the First Prince discovered it.

It was just that a palace maid and a guard by the side of the eldest prince had secretly become pregnant.

How did Lady Guarjia manage the Prince's residence? How did she manage to allow the palace maids and guards to conceive secretly right under her nose?

If that palace maid had been bold and cunning, things like confusing the royal bloodline might have even happened...

It seems we need to give the Guarjia Shi clan a warning.
