Chapter 1335: Awakening

"What do you want to do? Killing the royal heir is a serious crime."

Ripple frowned.

"Lianyi, I'm not using it for others, I'm using it for myself."

Gu Die'er said firmly.

Lianyi was a little surprised and reached out to touch the other person's forehead. He didn't have a fever, so why did he start talking nonsense?

"I don't have a fever, and I'm not confused. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

"Give me a reason. This stuff is a banned drug. If it goes wrong, the Gu family will be implicated, and I will be buried with them."

Gu Die'er looked at Lian Yi's serious face and knew that her good sister would not help her unless she explained the situation clearly, so she sighed and said:

"Lianyi, I know you are smarter than me and should understand things better than me, so I can only ask you for help. This is my last act of stubbornness.

I said it was a good marriage. For a merchant's daughter to marry into the royal family was a blessing earned in eight lifetimes, but I would rather not have this blessing.

Xin Yuan is the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future, which means he is destined not to be my lover, and I am destined not to be the only one in his heart.

No matter what, I am just a concubine. No matter how well I do for the family, I can never become the principal wife. My child can only be a bastard. Even if the child is smart and capable, he will never have the chance to hold that position. My identity as his biological mother is a stain on him.

The most important thing is that I don't want to have children for him. He forced me to marry him for profit and wanted me to take care of the family and be grateful to him. I can't do that. Instead of doing this, it's better to cut off the relationship from the root."

Lianyi listened to Gu Die'er's words and felt that she was a rare sober person in the world, but she still advised:

"You punish yourself just because of these things. It's hard to gain a foothold in the harem without a child. And wouldn't you be lonely? Having a child would also give you spiritual support.

If, I mean if, you really have feelings for Xin Yuan, then it will be irreversible."

"No, I will live my life well. As long as the prince is in power, he will not look down on me. After he ascends the throne, he will not let go of my Gu family's money bag. He wants to realize his ambitions, and all of these require money to support them.

As for the sentimentality, it’s not like I haven’t had any contact with the prince before. If I had any sentimentality, I wouldn’t have waited until today.”

Lianyi actually agreed with her in her heart, but she still advised:

"Die'er, sometimes it's hard to be confused. You don't need to live so clearly."

"That's great, I think it's great! Lianyi, you and I are sisters, will you help me?"

"This is just one time, and it won't happen again. I won't recognize you once you leave the Gu Mansion."

"Thank you Ripple!"

Gu Dieer hugged Lianyi tightly, buried her head in Lianyi's shoulder, and cried silently.

Lianyi patted Gu Dieer's back gently, feeling that Xin Yuan was really a bad person and would probably never get what he wanted in his life.

On the other side, Xin Yuan returned to Kyoto and was stopped by Qing Ran. She said unhappily:

"Is the young lady from the Gu family that beautiful? It's worth traveling thousands of miles to see her."

"Royal sister, what's wrong with you? You should know that I went to Youzhou not only to see the young lady of the Gu family, but also to visit the Gu family's assets, which are very helpful to me."

After hearing this, Qing Ran's expression eased a little, and then he asked:

"It is said that the Gu family is rich enough to rival a country. Is that true?"

"That's not the case. They are just a merchant family. However, their biggest moneymaker is shipping. They can earn at least 200,000 or 300,000 taels of silver each time they go out to sea. That's what I want to seize."

After Xin Yuan sat down, he told Qingran what he saw in Youzhou.

Qingran realized that his brother had no feelings for the young lady from the Gu family and only cared about her wealth. He felt relieved and was in a mood to listen to him talk about his experiences along the way.

Just as the two of them said a few words, a eunuch came to tell them that the Queen wanted to see them. Xin Yuan immediately washed and changed his clothes, and went to Fengyi Palace where the Queen was with Qing Ran.

Xin Yuan bowed politely, then smiled and said:

"Mother, my child is back!"

"Come here and let the Queen Mother see it."

The queen took her son's hand and looked at him, then she complained:

"How did Su An take care of you? Why do you look so thin?"

"Mother, the child is fine. He is not thin, but strong."

After the mother and son kissed each other for a while, the queen brought the topic back on track.

"When you come back this time, you must prepare to get married. After marriage, give birth to a legitimate child as soon as possible, so that your position will be more stable."

"My son knows."

"Before the Crown Princess gives birth to a child, when you favor the women in the backyard, you must make them take contraceptive soup. When you have a legitimate child, then stop taking their medicine. The child's identity is very important.

You are the eldest son of the heir apparent, and your position as the crown prince is unchallengeable. Don't break the royal rules just because of some seductive women's words. "

The Queen reminded.

"Don't worry, mother. I understand and will not break the rules."

Xin Yuan responded immediately, but he didn't know what was going on, Gu Dieer's pink and beautiful face suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Qingran on the side didn't say a word, but she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. She wanted to cover her mother's mouth, but she knew she couldn't.

Ever since she first fell in love, she had liked Xin Yuan, which made her afraid to face her brother for a while. However, escape was not a solution. The more she escaped, the deeper her feelings became, which made her almost crazy. She could only vent her emotions by torturing the palace maids.

Now her brother was getting married, and she knew she couldn't stop it, nor did she have the right to do so. She even had to send her blessings, which made her feel even more tormented inside, but she dared not tell anyone about it.

"Qingran, after Xinyuan's wedding, your marriage will also be on the agenda. Queen Mother has some suitable candidates here. Take a look at them first. If there is one that catches your eye, Queen Mother will find an opportunity to summon that person to the palace for you to meet."

After instructing her son, the queen turned around and began to care about her daughter.

"Mother, I am still young, there is no rush to get married. When my brother succeeds to the throne, I will be the eldest princess. Wouldn't it be better to discuss marriage then?"

Qingran immediately fought for a chance to catch his breath.

"You're right. You'll have more options then."

The queen couldn't bear to part with her beloved daughter, so she relented, which made Qingran secretly relieved.

Half a year later, Crown Prince Xia Xinyuan got married and married the Prime Minister's daughter Lin Peirong as his Crown Princess. The Crown Princess brought her huge dowry and married into the Eastern Palace.

A month later, the Crown Princess was diagnosed with pregnancy. Xin Yuan then carried the two concubines, one Liang Di and one Liang Yuan, into the Eastern Palace with full justification, and Gu Die'er also officially entered the palace.

When Lianyi sent Gu Dier out, she gave her the medicine she needed and instructed:

"After you enter the palace, there will definitely be maids and imperial physicians to examine your body. Don't take this medicine for now. Wait until Xin Yuan comes to visit you, then take it.

If one day you regret having a child, ask Lancao to contact me and I will find a way for you. "
