Chapter 1340 Give Me Justice

After Lianyi dealt with Qingran, she left Yunzhou and headed towards Fangzhou. Her destination was always Kyoto.

Gu Die'er in the harem didn't know that her good sister was approaching her little by little. At this time, she was listening to Lancao reporting the latest news in the East Palace.

"Miss, Concubine Min had a miscarriage. I heard that the baby was only one month old. She didn't even know it. It was discovered because musk was added to the incense burned in her residence. Steward Su is bringing people to investigate."

"The Crown Princess didn't interfere?"

“I heard that the Crown Princess was shocked. When Nanny Gu found out, she immediately checked the incense that the Crown Princess usually used, and then went to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I heard that the Crown Princess also added something to her incense, but because she was cautious, she stopped using any incense in the house or on her clothes since she became pregnant, so she didn't get caught. The Crown Prince was furious, so he specifically asked Su An to investigate."

After hearing this, Gu Die'er said with disdain:

"I'm afraid it's just the thief crying thief!"

"Miss, what you mean is that this is the work of the Crown Princess."

"Who else but her can reach so far? People in the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't have such courage."

"But Concubine Min checked her pulse two months ago and found out she was not pregnant!"

Lancao said doubtfully.

"That's because the Crown Princess knew that I was tricked and was determined to be infertile, but Concubine Min should have escaped her trick, so she planned it a second time. It was just that Concubine Min was careless and didn't even know she was pregnant, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of her."

"Miss, you are the only one in the prince's backyard who is not pregnant and has not had any accidents. Do you think the prince will doubt you?"

"You are right. The Crown Prince is suspicious by nature. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should spend money to hire a royal physician now. Remember to avoid those who often diagnose the Crown Princess's pulse and find a new person to check my pulse."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

Lancao lifted her skirt and hurried to ask for the imperial physician.

In addition to the Crown Princess, Concubine Xu and Wu Liangdi also suspected Gu Die'er. After all, she was the only one among the five women in the Crown Prince's backyard who had not made any move. Perhaps they were jealous, so they took action.

However, the two still focused their suspicion on the Crown Princess. After all, no matter which of the three of them gave birth to a boy, it would be a threat to the baby in the Crown Princess's belly. Since it was a threat, the Crown Princess would definitely take action to resolve it.

Gu Die'er spent money to hire a new recruit from the Imperial Hospital to take her pulse, and then the news that she had lost her fertility spread throughout the prince's backyard in an instant.

When the women learned the news, their expressions varied.

Crown Princess: How come this idiot is smart this time?

Concubine Xu, Concubine Min, and Concubine Wu: It turns out that this unlucky girl was hit in the first round. As expected, she is the daughter of a merchant and is not qualified to fight with them.

Gu Die'er: I just spread the news that I was infertile, made myself a victim, and saw what the prince would do.

When Xin Yuan heard Su An come back and say that Gu Dieer had fainted, he frowned and asked the reason.

Su An hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Gu Die'er was frightened by Concubine Min's miscarriage, and was afraid that she would be like Concubine Min, losing her child without knowing it, so she asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, and the result was..."

"What's the result? Stop hesitating and tell me now!"

Xin Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling and spoke sternly.

"Your Highness, I don't know when Gu Die'er got into trouble. The imperial physician diagnosed that she has lost her fertility."

"What? Really?"

"Indeed, it was Doctor Xiao Yu, the grandson of the director of the Imperial Hospital, who took Gu Liangyuan's pulse. Gu Liangyuan couldn't bear the shock and fainted."

The prince looked a little unhappy. He had not expected that these women in the harem would be so cruel. They actually cut off Gu Die'er's escape route right under his nose. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Su An, check for me. I want to see who did this. If I don't give Gu Die'er an explanation for this matter, the Gu family will definitely not be my money bag. A marriage without an heir is unreliable."

"Yes, I'll check it out right away."

Xin Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he ordered some medicinal herbs and took people to Gu Dieer's residence.

Gu Die'er had put on some sick makeup to make herself look like she was hit hard. When she saw Xin Yuan, tears fell from her eyes like beads from a broken string. She struggled to get off the bed and knelt, saying in a choked voice:

"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for Die'er!"

"Hurry up and don't be sad. I will definitely make the decision for you!"

Xin Yuan felt very uncomfortable and immediately stepped forward to help the kneeling Gu Dieer up.

Gu Dier grabbed Xin Yuan's arms tightly with both hands. Her strength was so frightening that Xin Yuan felt pain. However, he couldn't pull his hands back in this situation, so he could only help him sit on the bed.

Gu Die'er seemed to realize that she had overstepped her bounds, so she withdrew her hand and said to the servants in the room:

"All of you go down. I want to talk to the prince alone."

Lancao immediately bowed, and left with her maids and old women, but the people around the prince did not leave.

Gu Die'er looked disheartened and said to Xin Yuan:

"Prince, let Eunuch Su stay and serve. Everyone else please leave. I have something to say to His Highness."

Xin Yuan came here this time just to appease Gu Die'er, so naturally he had to go along with her. So he waved his hand and asked everyone else to go down, leaving only Su An by his side.

Gu Die'er wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, stared at Xin Yuan with a pair of sad eyes, and said softly:

"Your Highness, from the first time I saw you, Die'er knew that you approached me for a purpose. There was admiration and curiosity in your eyes, but no love for Die'er. Die'er could feel it.

Die'er was young and only thought that she had made a knowledgeable friend. Die'er believed that she had not given His Highness any wrong hints. However, an imperial edict disrupted my life. Only then did I know that Xin Yuan was the current crown prince.

Everyone around me praised me for being so lucky to be valued by His Highness. I was a phoenix that had flown to the top of a tree and would surely become rich and powerful in the future. Only my mother hugged me and cried until my shoulders were wet.

At that time, I didn’t understand why I should marry someone I didn’t like, and as a concubine. Even if the other person was the most noble person in the world, I would not be happy.

Die'er's heart is very small, and can only accommodate one person. I only hope that in this life there will be someone who can love and protect me, cherish me, and have a child of our own, and then everything will be perfect.

But all these were buried the day I was carried into the Eastern Palace!

Die'er doesn't understand what grand plans are, but I respect my mother's hard work and pity my younger brother who is too young to manage the household, so I put aside the past and put all my thoughts on Your Highness, regarding Him as my heaven.

Die'er doesn't want anything, even if it's just an exchange of benefits, I hope Your Highness can protect me a little so that I can live a stable life. I don't even expect Your Highness to give me a child.

But now Die'er has lost even the right to be a mother. If this is what Your Highness wants, then Die'er will naturally know how to deal with it in the future. If not, Your Highness, please give me justice."
