Lou Wanyue's expression was a bit complicated when she heard this. She smiled, and a trace of bitterness flashed across her face: "It's much better than before, but I think, maybe he treats me well just because of the baby in my belly, but I am also content. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. You don't know how happy I am to hear that you have a baby, but they don't allow me to enter the palace to see you..."

When Lou Wanyue said this, her eyes turned red and she didn't know if it was because she felt wronged or because she missed An Qingran.

"This is considered progress, isn't it? Dongfang Run is a slow-moving person, but also a long-lasting one. You will wait until the clouds clear and the moon appears. Believe me, don't be anxious." When An Qingran said this, she was also secretly observing Lou Wanyue, afraid that she would be too suspicious.

Lou Wanyue was not angry, she nodded slightly: "I have also thought it through. Even if he treats me badly in the future, I have my baby to accompany me..."

"Believe me, it will get better and better." An Qingran said with a smile, and stood up and walked to her dressing table. Seeing the hollow silver box, she said, "Don't use this box of rouge anymore. Put it away first."

"I know I have no use for it. I just put it here for you to watch. I will never forget the favors I have received." As Lou Wanyue spoke, her face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll give it to you later if you need it..."

"I hope I never have to use it again, if possible." Lou Wanyue said in a faint voice and sighed.

An Qingran nodded: "I hope so too... By the way, how did Ruoxue look when she came back to visit her parents?"

"How is it? She is in love with you and is extremely happy. She even mentioned you. If it weren't for the honeymoon, she would have gone to the palace to see you long ago."

"Is her face healed?"

"It's really strange. Her face is even rosier than before. It's really a blessing in disguise. I just mentioned this incident. I can't help but sigh... It seems that some things are really God's will. Is the fate between people really destined? But then I think, if it weren't for you, I don't know what the situation would be like. My mother-in-law has worshipped Buddha more than once at home, but she didn't know that Buddha was right in front of her. You are the one who should be thanked the most, but I dare not tell her the truth. But I think she will know it sooner or later. By then, how to thank her will be a matter of the future."

"Why should I thank you?" An Qingran thought to herself, she was so happy that she had changed Dongfang Ruoxue's fate. If she was really still forced to marry, she would have felt that her efforts might not have the desired effect. But now, she felt that she could change her own destiny and control it well.

****************

Prince Kang's Palace.

An Ranyue's illness was getting worse and worse, so Dongfang Ye asked someone to call a doctor for her. The doctor said there was nothing wrong and just prescribed some medicine to nourish the qi and blood, which would not harm her anyway.

Due to her illness, An Ranyue did not go to pay her respects in the morning or evening, but Lei Yuezhu did not mind it. She was in good health and newlywed, and she and Dongfang Ye were in love. Lei Tianwei and the Qin family's daughter had already set off to return to Leitai Kingdom. Although Lei Yuezhu was reluctant to leave, she was not too sad. She thought she could realize her ambitions in the Kang Palace and do whatever she wanted, so she was naturally happy.

Unexpectedly, just after the honeymoon, Dongfang Lin suddenly fell seriously ill.

That morning, when the nurse went to look for Dongfang Ye and Lei Yuezhu, the two took a long time to open the door. When the imperial physician arrived, the child had already started to convulse and foam at the mouth. Lei Yuezhu frowned in the room, "Is this child poisoned? Why is he foaming at the mouth? Someone, find all the people in the mansion who have had contact with the child in the past few days."

The nurse beside him said quietly, "Princess, the young master shouldn't have been poisoned. He caught a cold a few days ago..."

"Then why don't you return the favor?" Lei Yuezhu pinched her waist.

"I'm back, you..."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I don't take care of the child? Are you blaming me? Did I harm the child?" Lei Yuezhu was powerful and raised her hand to slap the wet nurse. The wet nurse was knocked to the ground and the imperial physician's medicine box was overturned. Her momentum frightened all the imperial physicians present, and Dongfang Lin's crying became weaker and weaker and could no longer be heard.

Dongfang Ye walked a few steps to Lei Yuezhu and pointed his finger: "Get out!"

Lei Yuezhu was stunned: "You yelled at me?"

"Get out!" Dongfang Ye's eyebrows stood up, and he gritted his teeth. Seeing the blue veins on his forehead bulging, Lei Yuezhu was furious in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything at this time. She could only walk out in three or two steps. As soon as she walked out of the door, she stood there, leaning on her waist with her hands, not knowing what to do. It was a beautiful spring day outside, and she didn't know why such a big thing happened just one night later.

Come to think of it, during this month, I have been sticking with Dongfang Ye closely, but I really didn’t care about Dongfang Ye that much. Did the nanny say that she had been notified?

Have you really been notified?

She frowned and suddenly remembered that there were indeed a few times when the nanny wanted to say something to her, but she was only thinking about what kind of wine and food to prepare for Dongfang Ye, or what kind of wine to drink in the evening. There were also two times when she was so sleepy that she didn't know what the nanny was saying. Moreover, these days, she didn't like to hear Dongfang Lin crying. When he cried, she felt so annoyed that she wanted to hit him, so she drove the nanny and others to live in the wing room in the next yard...

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried. She didn't like this child, but at the moment she didn't want anything to happen to him. If something happened, her responsibility would be too great.

One day and one night.

The imperial physician did not close his eyes, and was discussing something inside and outside the room. Lei Yuezhu brought the cooked soup to Dongfang Ye and said, "Your Highness, you have not eaten or closed your eyes for a day and a night. Drink some soup..."

"Get out!" Dongfang Ye didn't even raise his head.

"Your son has been weak since he was young and always gets sick several times a month. You won't put all the blame on me, right?" Lei Yuezhu said fiercely. How could she not know anything? So, she felt wronged. Now Dongfang Ye still blamed her, she couldn't bear it.

Dongfang Ye now felt even more disgusted when he saw this plump woman. Why did he usually like her so much? Now he even felt that her eyes were triangular and looked like a spendthrift.

So he turned around and raised his hand, knocking over the bowl of soup in her hand, and the whole bowl fell on her, staining her bright red wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix. The soup also spilled all over the floor, and all the maids were stunned. The pieces of the bowl flew everywhere, and Lei Yuezhu didn't know if she was splashed by the hot soup or stabbed by the pieces. She shook her hands and gritted her teeth, but fortunately she knew something was wrong, and she didn't say anything. She turned around and walked out. She swore that she would never care again, no matter what love was.

But less than an hour after she returned to the room, she received the news that Dongfang Lin had died.

After hearing the news, An Ranyue cried and fainted at the head of Dongfang Lin's bed. Her crying softened Dongfang Ye's heart and he pulled her up: "The child is gone..."

An Ranyue sobbed: "It's all my fault. If I had come earlier, it wouldn't have been like this..."

Indeed, An Ranyue was the first one to discover Dongfang Lin's condition. She missed her child so she came to see him secretly, but found that the child was only breathing in but not out. The wet nurse sitting next to him was so worried that she almost cried. She went to look for the princess, but didn't see her after two visits and was stopped. Later, An Ranyue got angry and went to find a doctor herself, asking the wet nurse to notify the prince no matter what.

Dongfang Ye heard the complaint in An Ranyue's words. Although she was complaining about Lei Yuezhu, he had been with Lei Yuezhu for so many days. Wasn't that also a disguised way of complaining about himself?

So, his face couldn't help but gloomy, and he let her go: "Come here, help Concubine Yue back to her room to rest. She is not in good health, so she shouldn't come out often..."

Seeing this, Xiao Nuo stepped forward and helped An Ranyue walk back slowly. An Ranyue was immersed in sadness and could not understand Dongfang Ye's meaning. She just thought that he was concerned about her. She couldn't help crying even more uncontrollably. She cried while walking to Dongfang Lin, and her crying was so sad that Xiao Nuo whispered, "Concubine Yue, please stop crying. The prince is in a bad mood, and what you said just now, if it gets to the princess's ears, who knows what will happen..."

An Ranyue sighed and got angry when she heard this: "If Lin'er had followed me, this wouldn't have happened. He's been sick for so long and no one cared for him. If I had known this earlier, this wouldn't have happened..."

"You are sick yourself. Besides, it's too late to say anything now. This is the young master's fate. The child is born with many disasters. Maybe he is the child of unlucky grandfather and mother. A person's fate is determined by heaven!" Xiao Nuo tried to persuade her, hoping that she could think it through. However, An Ranyue just wanted to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know that she was the one who discovered the child's illness, while the princess who was raising him did not find it. The wet nurse went to report it but was nowhere to be found.

And she is the hero.

The news soon spread to the Jiaoxiang Palace.

After hearing the news, Concubine Shu couldn't believe it at first, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted, scaring the palace maids so much that they beat their chests and rubbed their chests. Three doctors from the Imperial Hospital gave her ginseng soup and injected her with silver needles before she woke up. When she woke up, she grabbed the teacup on the bedside table and threw it at Dongfang Ye: "You evil son, you still have the nerve to come to see me, give me back my grandson, give me back my son..."

Shu Guifei had tears on her face. Lin'er kept crying, but he was her dearest child. She couldn't ignore this grandson, either from her heart or from the situation. The emperor looked at Lin'er differently: "Poor child, he has been without a mother since he was a child. If you hadn't had so many women, these things wouldn't have happened. I think that princess is not a good person. She is always playing tricks on me. Does she have any thoughts about Lin'er? I don't think any of these women really treat Lin'er well..."

Dongfang Ye's eyes were dark and he was obviously thinner. He felt relieved at his mother's scolding. He felt guilty and felt better after being scolded by his mother. He was still in pain, but seeing his mother in such pain, he stepped forward and whispered, "Mother, Huang Ying'er and Madam Yun's baby is about to be born. You still have a grandchild to hold..."
