Her grandmother is cunning and calculating, her biological father is stationed at the border, and she has a stepmother, the Grand Princess, who forcibly married her father and killed her own mother...
A short while later, the Crown Princess changed her clothes and left with Madam He and a few others.
Nothing happened that day; the Crown Princess returned in the afternoon.
But something happened that night.
When Yan Nangui was alerted, Chanyi was beside him: "Liangyuan, something happened to Consort Murong. Would you like to go and see? They said it alerted the people at the front."
Yan Nangui clicked his tongue and said, "Let's go."
"I was wondering how much longer I could wait, and this happened?" It's easy to imagine that Murong's pregnancy wouldn't be peaceful.
Yan Nangui wore a light green dress, her hair casually tied up and secured with a white jade hairpin.
In summer, it's not cold when you get up in the middle of the night; you can just throw on a coat and go out.
Because she was closer, she arrived faster than the Crown Princess this time.
Zhang Chenghui from Qihua Pavilion was the first to arrive because it was nearby.
The second one is Xia Zhaoxun. She is actually closer, but she is pregnant, so it's a bit slower.
The third is the migrating of wild geese southward.
When she came in and saw Xia Shi, she said, "Why are you out here too?"
“I was not sound asleep and came because I was worried.”
"Hmm, how did it go?" Yan Nangui asked.
"We don't know about Consort Huiyan yet, but hopefully she's alright." The maid was cautious, probably waiting for the Crown Prince to arrive before speaking.
Before long, the crowd arrived one after another. They paid their respects and waited in the outer room.
Shu Chengfeng arrived a step earlier than the Crown Princess.
Upon entering, he saw Xia Shi and said, "Xia Shi, go back and rest. Don't run around with your pregnant belly."
Hearing this, Xia Zhaoxun got up to take his leave, feeling warm inside.
Shu Chengfeng looked at Yan Nangui again and thought about how uncomfortable she was last night: "If Nangui is not feeling well, she should go back first."
"Since we're already here, we'll head back soon," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Su Liangdi asked, "What's wrong, Sister Yan?"
"It's nothing, just a bit of an upset stomach."
Su Liangdi nodded knowingly and instructed someone, "Bring some longan tea for Yan Liangyuan."
When you're busy, the maid will go.
Before long, the Crown Princess arrived: "Your Highness, I am late."
"It's alright. It's the middle of the night, and we've disturbed everyone. How is Consort Murong?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Your Highness, our Lady suddenly fainted while getting up in the middle of the night. The imperial physician hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know what's wrong with her." The maidservant said cautiously.
"Fainted?" The Crown Princess frowned. "How could he suddenly faint? Is he awake yet?"
"I just woke up, but I can't get up. I'm dizzy and have a terrible stomachache," the girl said.
The Crown Princess nodded and got up to go and see.
Su Liangdi went along, and Ye Liangdi thought about it and went too.
Just then, the imperial physician arrived and was hurriedly invited inside.
About half an hour later, Physician Hu came out and said, "Your Highness, Consort Murong has come into contact with something. I am not sure yet, but it should be something imported."
"Will this affect the child?" the old woman asked anxiously.
Everyone naturally wanted to know this as well.
"She seems alright for now. Consort Liang only fainted for a while, and the pregnancy is going well. As for the abdominal pain, it's due to gastrointestinal discomfort. I'll prescribe a medicine, but I need to consider it carefully. Consort Liang is pregnant after all, so she can't take medicine casually. Let her drink more water first." Physician Hu thought to himself that things weren't easy in the Crown Prince's residence.
That's when she found out she was pregnant, and someone immediately stepped in.
The crown prince sat there, his face frighteningly gloomy.
Suddenly, he overturned the small table next to him.
The orchid in the pot was in full bloom when it was smashed to pieces as the pot fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled and immediately knelt down.
“That’s excellent. Investigate it. Whoever it is, once found out, they will not be let off lightly.” Yun Ji hurriedly agreed.
"Get up and go back. Crown Princess, begin the investigation tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly investigate thoroughly," the Crown Princess hurriedly replied, thinking to herself that it was fortunate she hadn't been the one to do it, that she hadn't had a chance to act yet...
Who dared to be so audacious? This is utterly reckless! Who would poison someone so directly?
She glanced around but couldn't recognize who it was.
Shu Chengfeng helped the Crown Princess up: "It's late, everyone should go back. There's no need to go to the main courtyard tomorrow."
Everyone agreed and then got up and dispersed.
Shu Chengfeng entered the inner room. Murong tried to get up but failed. She was extremely dizzy: "I...I can't move. I feel nauseous and dizzy if I move."
"No need to move. Physician Hu said your baby is fine. Take good care of yourself, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Murong Liangyuan nodded with tears in her eyes, "I understand, thank you, Your Highness."
"Okay, I'll go back first. You take your medicine and make sure she's well taken care of. If you need anything, go to the front yard."
"This concubine respectfully sees Your Highness off," said Consort Murong.
After leaving Jiangyun Garden, Shu Chengfeng suddenly didn't want to go back to the front yard.
He stood there, looked at the pale, white moon overhead, clicked his tongue, and headed towards Jiyue Pavilion.
In Jiyue Pavilion, Yan Nangui, who had just returned, suddenly felt hungry and immediately asked someone to go to the kitchen to ask for a pot.
It's not hot pot, it's more like a mixed stew.
Shu Chengfeng came over, and she asked in surprise, "Why has Your Highness come?"
"You came here because you didn't want to go back. Are you going to sleep?" Shu Chengfeng asked as he came in.
"I'm not sleeping, I'm hungry." Yan Nangui smiled slyly: "Want some?"
Eating late at night? Shu Chengfeng had never tried it...
"Eat." He thought to himself that he wouldn't be able to sleep for long anyway, as he had to attend court soon.
Before long, the meal was served, and the two of them indeed had a good appetite.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Yan Nangui felt sleepy. He quickly washed up and yawned, ready to go to bed.
Ke Shu Chengfeng checked the time and sighed, "You go to sleep, I'm leaving now."
"Going to court today? Your Highness, really, what's so important that you can't even skip a day?" Yan Nangui asked in a daze.
Shu Chengfeng glanced at her and suddenly laughed: "Nan Gui is right. Yun Ji, send someone to ask for leave and say that I am not going today. You should go to sleep too."
Yunji at the door responded, thinking to himself, "Oh no, His Highness is neglecting his morning court for the sake of his beauty?"
The beauty couldn't care less about that; she was extremely tired.
So, she quickly fell asleep while being held.
Yun Ji was miserable. Even if he needed to take a nap, he had to first give instructions about the matter of checking the backyard that morning.
I'll just be dozing off for a bit, maybe half an hour, then I'll get back to doing my job.
So when the Crown Princess heard that Shu Chengfeng had gone to Jiyue Pavilion that morning, she merely frowned and asked, "Didn't His Highness attend the morning court session?"
"His Highness must have been hungry after all that commotion last night. He said he even ordered the kitchen to prepare food in the middle of the night. It's getting late, so he must have asked for leave by now," Su Jin said.
The Crown Princess nodded: "It seems that His Highness has no doubts about Yan Shi at all."
"Why would Your Highness suspect her of something? She can't have children, so there's no need for that." If she can't have children, there's no need to get rid of someone else's child.
The Crown Princess nodded again: "In your opinion, whose arms are so long this time?"
Su Jin shook her head: "I had already thought about it, but I really didn't expect it."
