Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Slippage
"Xian'er, what about the young prince? Even if you successfully divorce the Fourth Prince, you will inevitably be separated from the young prince and his mother."
Wan Ning held Xian'er's trembling hand tightly with tears in her eyes.
"Xian'er, how miserable life is for a child without a mother. You and I both lost our mothers at a young age, so we understand this very well."
"If the Fourth Prince marries again in the future, how could she tolerate your son?"
"It's only a matter of time before the Fourth Prince is crowned a king. If the second wife gives birth to a legitimate son, your son's status will be very embarrassing."
"It's bad enough that he can't keep the throne that should have belonged to him, but he might even lose his life."
There is no way that the second wife would give up the throne of the crown prince. If I were the second wife, I would definitely do whatever it takes to seize the title for my son.
"If even you don't want the little prince, then dying young will be his fate."
"Stop talking..." Chu Xian clutched her stomach in pain. "You're right, fate... fate really can't be defied..."
In history, the little prince born to the Fourth Lady was destined to die at the age of eight. No matter how hard she struggled, and even deliberately sought a male concubine to bear children in order to avoid bad luck, in the end she ended up living a complete joke.
It turns out that everything was wrong from the beginning, completely wrong.
What should I do? This was all wrong from the beginning!
Chu Xian stopped crying, her face showing determination: "Wan Ning, do me a favor. All the servants in my courtyard have betrayed me. You are the only one left."
"They are all untrustworthy! Now I can't even leave the mansion, and they are making excuses. I must have been imprisoned here in disguise."
"Xian'er, there's no need to beat around the bush between you and me. Just say whatever you want."
"I...I want abortion pills." Before she finished speaking, tears fell helplessly.
"Xian'er, you...the child is innocent. How can you bear to abandon him? You are his biological mother. Don't you want him too?"
Wan Ning's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she reached out to gently stroke Xian'er's bulging belly.
The little prince seemed to sense something and began to move uncomfortably in the womb.
"Wan Ning, there's no way to save him. Rather than watching him die young, it's better to be cruel and not let him suffer at all."
"Since everything was wrong from the beginning, we can't make it even more wrong."
"I will be a good Fourth Lady, a childless, unloved, and unfavored Fourth Lady. I will be a good Fourth Lady, I will, I will."
"No divorce, let's just leave it at that." Chu Xian choked with tears. She didn't dare to divorce because she still had her father and brother to protect.
"Xian'er!" Wan Ning gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "If you're willing to give up your identity, I have a plan. How about... escaping? Faking your own death, take the young prince away with you. You'll have to live in anonymity for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
"But what about my family?" Chu Xian covered her face and sobbed.
"I'll help you take care of them. From now on, your father is my father, and your fourth brother is my real fourth brother. Don't worry, I will keep you informed of their recent situation regularly."
"Xian'er, if you are willing, just follow my instructions. If you are not willing, I will go and find some abortion medicine right away."
"Whatever you decide, I'll be with you."
Wan Ning steeled her resolve and decided to take a gamble: "The child is innocent. If you don't want him to stay in the Fourth Prince's residence, you can raise him with me. I will treat him as my own. Our residences are right next to each other, so you can come visit anytime."
"Xian'er, apart from these methods, I have no other options. I'm sorry, this is your private matter, and I can't let Yinsi know about it. Otherwise, I will definitely consult him. He is smarter than me and will definitely have a better solution."
Wan Ning was extremely conflicted. She must not let Yinsi know about the affair between Xian'er and the Fourth Prince.
How could she not know that Yinsi had been following the eldest prince and fighting openly and secretly with the crown prince and the fourth prince over the years?
If Yinsi and the eldest prince used Xian'er and her son to deal with the fourth prince, the fourth prince would definitely surrender obediently.
If something happens to the Fourth Prince, Xian'er and her son will either become orphans and widows, or be imprisoned in the clan house. Xian'er will definitely become that man's plaything, after all, that man has been coveting Xian'er for many years.
The rest of your life will definitely not have a good ending.
She didn't dare to say anything, and even didn't bring the servants arranged by Yinsi into the main courtyard of the concubine's house where Xian'er lived.
I was afraid that those servants would report everything to Yinsi and harm Xian'er.
"Madam, Miss Wan Ning's servant has something important to report." Xianrong reminded outside the door.
Chu Xian and Wan Ning fell silent at the same time.
Wan Ning sat up straight, and her heart sank when she saw that the person coming was Chunxiao, the servant arranged by Yinsi to serve her.
"Miss, there's news from the palace that the Fourth Prince..."
"Shut up!" Wan Ning interrupted in panic.
Chun Xiao lowered her head. "It's said that the Fourth Prince and Miss Tong San were having sex in Fanhua Tower, and the Crown Prince caught them in the act. His Majesty was furious..."
Chu Xian was completely disheartened and couldn't tell whether she felt bitter or sarcastic. If it were in the past, she would have happily congratulated the Fourth Prince on finding a beautiful woman.
They even couldn't wait to enter the Forbidden City to watch the excitement and take the opportunity to fan the flames.
And now.
That person was Chi Zheng. Chi Zheng had sex with someone in Fanhua Tower and betrayed his oath.
He even betrayed her when she had worked so hard to give birth to his child and was at her most vulnerable and helpless.
After careful selection, she still mistakenly chose the most cold-blooded and heartless beast.
Chu Xian felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and curled up in agony.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Wan Ning was so furious that she killed Chun Xiao with a sword.
"Fujin! You are bleeding!" Sui Qing exclaimed and rushed to Fujin.
"Get out!" Streams of heat flowed out uncontrollably, and she clearly felt the child leaving her.
Forget it, it was all wrong from the beginning, the child was wrong too, why force him to stay?
It hurts so much. It turns out that the pain of her child leaving her is like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
"Madam, I will give you acupuncture to relieve the pain." Sui Qing sobbed.
"No need." Chu Xian was weak. She wanted to remember this heart-wrenching pain in her heart so that she would not be hurt again.
If she could even get through the pain of losing her son, what else would she be afraid of?
"Xian'er, don't be like this. Don't humiliate yourself for this unlucky man. Don't whine... I was wrong. I thought he would treat you well. Whine, let's go. I'll take you away from here."
Wan Ning was so scared that she fell at Xian'er's feet and reached out to wipe the bright red blood that kept flowing.
"I want to go... to Tanzhe Temple Zhuangzi, right now."
Chu Xian's face was pale and she spoke weakly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wan Ning leaned over and held Xian'er horizontally in her arms, shook off the servants, and walked out of the house with tears in her eyes.
"Madam Gui!" Wan Ning shouted angrily, "Where is Madam Gui?"
Nanny Gui, who was chatting with Nanny Chun in the corridor, rushed to the girl's side in two steps.
"I'm here!" Seeing the blood all over the ground, Nanny Gui staggered.
"Madam Gui! Immediately return all the dog slaves sent by Yinsi! Get them all out!" Wan Ning gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment.
"Madam Liu, Qingyin, Xuerui, come with me."
"Xian'er." Wan Ning said with a guilty tone: "Did your servant bring it?"
Chu Xian was too weak to speak. She shook her head weakly, her vision went dark, and she fainted completely.
"Okay. Then let them go too!" Wan Ning glared at the approaching servants. Qingyin and Xuerui drew their swords and blocked Xianrong Suiqing in the corner.
"Miss, the Fourth Lady is not feeling well." Aunt Liu was sweating coldly as she took out a silver needle to stop the bleeding for the Fourth Lady.
"Let's take Sui Qing with us. Her medical skills are better than mine."
"Would it be okay to bring Doctor Ye with us? Doctor Ye was the one who took care of Madam Fu's pregnancy." Sui Qing hurriedly asked to bring Ye Tianshi with him.
"Hmph!" Wan Ning glared at Sui Qing fiercely, "How dare you betray your master right under my nose! Kill!"
"Yes." Sui Qing followed Fu Jin tremblingly.
The servants in the main courtyard were extremely anxious. They watched Miss Wan Ning take the concubine away, and no one dared to step forward to stop her.
Su Peisheng happened to be on a day off today. He rushed over after hearing the news. He stood in front of the Eighth Lady's carriage, limping with one black boot and a look of fear in his eyes.
"Hey, Eighth Lady, where are you taking our Lady?"
Su Peisheng fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "If the Fourth Prince returns and doesn't see the Concubine, we servants will be punished. Please have mercy on us."
"Bullshit! How could he possibly think of Xian'er and her son? He's currently in the Forbidden City dealing with the mess he's making peace with Tong Jia!"
"Get out!" Wan Ning shouted angrily, grabbed the paperweight on the low table and smashed it hard at the dog slave.
Su Peisheng was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the shoulder. He fell to the ground wailing in pain.
"Eunuch Su, the concubine has gone far away, should we chase her?" The leader of the Flying Guillotines flashed out from the darkness.
Su Peisheng recovered and jumped to his feet: "Chase, chase, but don't disturb Fu Jin."
"Hurry and send someone to the Forbidden City to report to the Fourth Prince! Quick!"
At the same time, in the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen knelt at the feet of Khan Ama.
"Khan Father, I am innocent." Yinzhen prostrated himself on the ground with an expressionless face.
His arguments were weak and even useless. Khan Ama would never believe him, and no matter what he said, it would be of no use. He had long been accustomed to it.
Khan Ama only has eyes for the prince.
In the past, no matter what the Yuqing Palace blamed on him, he never argued and accepted it all. As a result, countless rumors spread.
He offended the court officials that the prince did not want to offend, and he handled many thankless tasks.
The prince was living a life of debauchery and sleeping with prostitutes outside, and he was here to clean up the mess.
The prince kept male favorites, beat up Mongolian dignitaries, embezzled royal property, and even raped women in the harem. He was responsible for every incident and took the blame.
The only thing he refused to admit was his adultery with his cousin.
At this moment, he was more panicked and frightened than ever before. Xian'er must have known about this.
How would she feel? She would be dancing and celebrating his downfall.
Thinking that she was not sad at all, Yinzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fourth brother, are you being wronged? At that time, it was just you and I in Fanhua Tower. Are you implying that I tarnished Third Miss Tong's reputation?"
Yinreng was filled with resentment. No matter what he did in the past, his fourth brother always obeyed him. Why was he unwilling to help with such a trivial matter when he just wanted him to admit his mistake today?
How outrageous!
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has been wronged. After court today, he went to Fanhua Tower to look for the Crown Prince as agreed. As he approached the west side hall, he was stopped outside by Eunuch Lingpu, who was by the Crown Prince's side."
"Fourth Prince has no idea what happened in the palace." Chai Yu was glared at fiercely by the prince, and his calves were shaking.
Yinreng had no words to express his grievances. Today was the first day of the new year, and as usual he had to go to Fanhua Tower to burn incense. When he entered the west side hall, the hall was dim and filled with fragrance. After burning incense and praying, he was about to leave when a stunning beauty threw herself into his arms.
There were many palace maids in the Forbidden City who threw themselves into his arms. Today, this beauty had a graceful figure and was so soft that she seemed to have no bones, and she took the initiative to cling to him.
He was actually aroused by her. She was just a servant who wanted to get close to a rich man. How could he let himself be wronged? He took her body right away.
After the fighting subsided, Yinreng finally saw the face of the woman under him clearly, and he almost lost his soul!
It turned out to be a daughter of Tong!
The Hesheli clan and the Tongjia clan have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. The conflict between the two clans became completely irreconcilable because Soetu killed Tong Guowei's brother Tong Guogang in the Battle of Ulan Butong.
Over the years, Soetu has suppressed Tong Guowei many times, and the Hesheli clan has always been wary of the Tongjia clan's rise in the court.
The prince regretted it deeply. He would rather touch the concubines in Khan's harem than have anything to do with the women of the Tong family.
Even though she was the most talented woman in Manchuria and Mongolia, famous throughout the city, even though she was very beautiful... she was indeed beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.
Just slightly inferior to that guy.
The prince couldn't help but glance at the crying girl from the Tong family.
Tong Jia cried bitterly, Chai Yu clearly said that her fourth cousin would come to Fanhua Tower at that time.
Why is it the prince who came!
That beast! She cried and begged him to let her go, but he only got worse. Now her whole body ached and she knelt beside him trembling with fear.
If her fourth cousin does not admit to this scandal today, she will be killed by Mafa.
The Tong family and the Hesheli family are separated by a deep blood feud. Mafa would rather kill her than let her marry into the Eastern Palace.
But she had already lost her virginity to the prince, so who else could she marry? Who would want a broken woman like her?
Liang Jiugong took in everyone's words and actions, and stole a glance at the Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne without saying a word.
His Majesty had already made up his mind.
The Tongjia clan is a direct descendant of the Emperor's mother's family. The noble daughters of the Tongjia clan can only enter the palace as empresses, how can they be concubines?
If Tong's legitimate daughter becomes someone else's concubine, it would be an insult to the Emperor.
However, the Hesheli clan and the Tonggiya clan have been fighting openly and secretly for years, restraining and suppressing each other, which is a balancing act that His Majesty likes to see.
No matter who makes love with Miss Tong San in Fanhua Tower today, she must not enter Yuqing Palace.
Otherwise, the balance that His Majesty has painstakingly worked out will be completely broken.
Tong Banchaoruo and the Hesheli clan put aside their past grudges and worked together to support the Yuqing Palace.
Liang Jiugong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
His Majesty would never allow this to happen. Today, the Fourth Prince is bound to suffer some grievances.
"The fourth one stays, and the rest of you, leave." Emperor Kangxi's face was calm and his emotions were invisible.
Liang Jiugong left the hall worriedly.
"Master, Lord Fei Yanggu sent someone to deliver a message saying that the Fourth Lady knew what happened in Fanhua Tower today and was so angry that she had a miscarriage."
"How could this happen? This shouldn't happen." Liang Jiugong was puzzled.
Xian'er has a weak relationship with the Fourth Prince and his wife. If she knew that something happened to the Fourth Prince, she would be so happy that she would be upset. Why would she have a miscarriage?
Liang Jiugong was puzzled, and suddenly his eyes were filled with fear. Oh no!
Xian'er is smart and insightful, and she must have seen through Chi Zheng's true identity.
"Xiao Suizi, go find Eunuch Li and ask him to cover for me for three days. I'm not feeling well." Liang Jiugong looked at the closed palace door with a sad face.
"Liang Jiugong!" The Emperor's stern voice came from the hall.
"I hereby declare that the Fourth Prince, for his contributions in assisting the Ministry of War and rectifying corruption along the Liangjiang River, shall be promoted to the rank of Heshuo Beile."
"Also, grant Longkodo's daughter, Tong Jia, a marriage mate as the Fourth Prince's concubine, and order the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to select an auspicious date nearby for the wedding to take place immediately."
"Everyone, step back. I'm...tired." Emperor Kangxi turned his back to the crowd, his eyes not sure whether he was looking at the dragon throne or the map of the country behind it.
"Yes." Liang Jiugong calmly supported the Fourth Prince... No, now he should be called the Fourth Prince.
After helping the Fourth Prince out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Liang Jiugong lowered his voice and said, "My Lord Prince, the wife is not feeling well. She's having a miscarriage. I think they've already arrived at the Tanzhe Temple."
Yinzhen's numb expression completely cracked at this moment, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.
"Hey, Lord Beile, please watch your step."
"You don't have to rush. Let me go there for you first." Liang Jiugong let go of the Fourth Prince, flicked his whisk and left.
When Yinzhen heard the three words "Beile Ye", he felt like something was stuck in his throat.
What a shame! His title was not earned through military merit or outstanding political achievements, but shamefully because of a woman! Khan Ama gave him the Tonggiya clan to cover up the prince's shame.
The title of Beile was just a reward and compensation given to him by Khan Ama for his obedience.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Yinzhen's lips. What on earth was he expecting?
Tong Jia's affected low cry came from behind.
Yinzhen suppressed his murderous intent. If she had not promised Empress Xiaoyi to treat the Tong family well, she would not have lived to see the day she got married.
He no longer owed the Tong family any favors.
"Fourth cousin!" Tong Jia chased after him with tears in her eyes.
But her cousin refused to turn back for her and left her alone.
Tong Jia hesitantly boarded the carriage back home. The maid who served her brought her a pill and said, "Miss, this is a contraceptive pill. You must take it immediately. It's very easy to get pregnant the first time."
Tong Jia stopped crying and stared at the dark brown pill in the nanny's palm for a long time without saying a word. After a while, she raised her hand and knocked the contraceptive pill to the ground.
"Why should I eat? It's not my fault!"
Her fourth cousin's attitude today really disappointed her. She had to prepare for a rainy day. It might not be a bad thing if she got pregnant today.
She has been disgraced and has nothing. If she fails to capture her fourth cousin's heart, she must at least leave some bargaining chips.
She, Tong Jia Suxin, must not end up with nothing.
The old nanny said nothing, put away the abortion medicine, and took out a rice bead pill instead: "Miss, this is a pregnancy medicine."
Tong Jia clenched her knuckles, hesitated for a moment, and then tilted her head back to swallow the pregnancy medicine.
Today wasn't a complete loss. At least she didn't have to marry far away in the desert and eat sand. At least the first man in her life was the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty! At least she got to marry her fourth cousin smoothly, didn't she?
Chai Yu returned to the Fourth Prince's residence with trepidation.
Before he even stepped foot into the front yard, he saw Su Peisheng coming with seven or eight servants carrying bags.
After seeing the faces of those people clearly, Chai Yu's face turned pale.
They were all old friends who had served Empress Xiaoyi.
After Empress Xiaoyi passed away, the Fourth Prince took them in and lived in his residence. After he moved out of the palace and set up his own residence, he brought them to his new residence to settle down.
They were provided with good food and drink on weekdays and were never treated unfairly.
Chai Yu bit her lips tightly, tears still streaming down her face.
"Peisheng, I did what you asked. Why is this happening? Why is this happening..."
Su Peisheng scoffed: "Chai Yu, if it was the Fourth Prince who went to Fanhua Tower first today, would you be overjoyed?"
"Do you remember the time I told you that the Fourth Prince would go to Fanhua Tower?"
"It's the right time." Before Chai Yu finished speaking, his face turned pale. The Fourth Master went to Fanhua Tower more than half an hour later than Su Peisheng said.
It's over...Su Peisheng deliberately set a trap for him to fall into.
"Hey, Brother Chai, I gave you a chance." Su Peisheng sighed helplessly, "You only said that Miss Tong San would block the Fourth Prince at Fanhua Tower, but you didn't say that she would use despicable means to seduce me."
"It's all fate..." Su Peisheng sighed softly.
"Who could have expected that the prince would go to Fanhua Tower in advance, don't you think?" Su Peisheng complained bitterly. He had planned everything, but he still fell into trouble in the end.
I originally wanted to go to Fanhua Tower with the prince to make Miss Tong San give up, but who knew that we would accidentally...
I don’t know if I can successfully coax my wife back to the Prince’s Mansion.
On the 26th of next month, Concubine Tong will be entering the mansion. Concubine Tong is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate having another woman in the harem, especially a woman who is a concubine.
"Su Peisheng! You hurt me! You little bastard killed me!" Chai Yu trembled and collapsed on the ground.
Su Peisheng chuckled as he moved closer to Chai Yu, who was sitting on the ground. He lowered his voice and chuckled sinisterly, "Brother Chai, you and I have been fighting fiercely in this small area in the front yard for years. You are not tired, but I am exhausted. It's over, it's all over today."
Su Peisheng raised his hand, and the servants he had personally trained for many years were all smiling, and they strode into the front yard with their heads held high, going against the dejected old people of Jingren Palace who had been kicked out.
From now on, Su Peisheng has the final say among the servants in the front yard.
"Chai Yu, the grave I chose for you faces south, nestled against the mountains and next to water. It's a perfect place to bury your bones. Rest in peace."
"Su Peisheng! I will exterminate your ancestors! You bastard who will have no descendants!"
Su Peisheng tilted his head and comfortably picked his ears: "I also want to kill my ancestors. I have no descendants and no relatives. What should I be afraid of?"
"Empu, look at what happened to Chai Yu. This is the end of being a servant to two masters. This is the last lesson your master will teach you, understand? And you, little Li Yu, you little kid, eat more. When you jump up, you can't even reach the height of my shoulder. Hey hey."
Su Peisheng smiled and pressed the forehead of his apprentice Li Yuda.
The little fellow was only eight years old and still ignorant. He just blinked his eyes and watched Chai Yu being covered in gold paper by two strong eunuchs. In an instant, he kicked his legs and stopped struggling.
"Empu, all these old guys are dead, get rid of them." After Su Peisheng said this, he hurried to Tanzhe Mountain.
At the southern foot of Tanzhe Mountain, basins of blood were brought out from the house. Wan Ning held back her tears and sat beside the bed to accompany the unconscious Xian'er.
"Miss, the Fourth Prince is here."
Wan Ning's face was filled with anger: "Get out."
"Miss, the chief steward Liang Jiugong is here. He said he is here to see the Fourth Lady on behalf of Master Fei Yanggu."
Aunt Gui whispered a reminder outside the door.
Hearing this, Wan Ning was silent for a long time, hesitated again and again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please let Eunuch Liang come in and talk."
In the corridor, as basins of blood were brought out, Yinzhen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Sui Qing rushed out of the house with blood on his hands and anxiously discussed with Ye Tianshi who was kneeling outside the door to see the patient.
"I can't stop it, what should I do? Wuuwuwu..."
"This..." Ye Tianshi looked embarrassed and turned to look at the Fourth Prince who was standing quietly in the corridor and was not allowed to enter: "Master, please give me your instructions, should I protect you or..."
"Big." Yinzhen blurted out.
"Bao Da." Wan Ning shouted anxiously from inside the house.
Liang Jiugong frowned and raised his eyelids to glance at the Fourth Prince's trembling back.
"I obey your command. Suiqing, immediately dissolve this pill in rice wine and inject it into Fu Jin's body. Insert the needle half an inch into the Baomen, Zihu, and Shuidao acupoints. If the bleeding does not stop, pierce the Hegu and Sanyinjiao acupoints to induce miscarriage."
"Ye Tianshi, you can't let Fu Jin suffer any more. I want you, not anything else."
"Huh..." Ye Tianshi was shocked. The royal bloodline was precious. If a baby had a difficult birth, nine out of ten people would first protect the offspring.
Unexpectedly, the precious little grandson of the emperor became an eyesore in the mouth of the prince.
Sui Qing returned to the house to get the medicine, and everyone held their breath.
I don’t know how much time passed until the moon set and the crows cried, and Su Peisheng came running in panting, and the tightly closed door finally opened a narrow crack.
Sui Qing was pushed into the house by the nanny beside Wan Ning.
Wan Ning was covered in blood, and she held her sword in front of the door. "All outsiders, please retreat immediately. Swords and knives have no eyes. If you are not afraid of death, come and fight."
"Eunuch Liang, Xian'er is fine. Xian'er has no other request but a peaceful divorce."
Wan Ning paused and sighed, "I have also divorced Chi Zheng and will have no further ties with him. Fourth Prince, please return the marriage certificate that Xian'er wrote to Chi Zheng."
"As for Xian'er's marriage to you, the Fourth Prince, if you refuse to relent, then carry the bodies of Xian'er and her son back."
"Eunuch Liang, Xian'er calls you A'mu, and I'm flattering you by calling you A'mu too. Please save Xian'er. If she continues to be the Fourth Lady, she won't survive."
Wan Ning knelt in front of the door and kowtowed to Liang Jiugong in begging.
"All the outsiders, please leave immediately. Those who are marrying a concubine or a cousin should do so as soon as possible. Xian'er should abdicate and let the virtuous one take over. Are you planning to find the cousin here and have a reconciliation ceremony for Xian'er to see?"
"Eighth brother's wife...how is she?" Yinzhen stared at the closed door anxiously.
"Haha, Fourth Prince, this depends on your decision. If you want to force her to death, then just keep on sticking with her."
"Liang Amu, thank you for your help."
Wan Ning took out a long blood-stained box from her sleeve and held it in front of Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong opened the box and took a look at it, his eyes full of horror. He stuffed the box into his sleeve with a serious expression.
Wan Ning watched Liang Jiugong leave, glared at the Fourth Prince viciously, and turned back to the room to accompany Xian'er.
Xian'er's baby was barely saved, but she needed to stay in bed to protect the baby until the birth.
I don’t know when I will wake up.
Wan Ning held Xian'er's pale hand and sobbed.
On this side, Liang Jiugong reined in his horse, but was blocked by the Fourth Beile.
"Anda, I have a special affection for Xian'er. If the box contains something that can destroy my marriage with Xian'er, could you please spare me?"
Hearing the Fourth Prince humbly address him as "you", Liang Jiugong dismounted.
"My Lord, what if this box contains irrefutable evidence that could bring ruin upon you, enough to have you stripped of your imperial sash and confined to the Imperial Clan Court for life?"
"Will that crime implicate her?" Yinzhen blurted out subconsciously.
Liang Jiugong was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case..." He choked for a moment and said: "From now on, Xian'er and her son, please take good care of them."
Yinzhen took off the black jade ring from his thumb and said, "This is a token of my private property. Please give it to Xian'er."
Liang Jiugong lowered his head and hid the smile in his eyes.
"Lord Beile, you should leave it to her yourself."
Liang Jiugong bowed respectfully, took a few steps, and could not help but turn back: "My Lord, since ancient times, brave women have been afraid of clinging to men. If you want to change the situation, you must be humble. Xian'er has been afraid of being coaxed since she was a child."
"Thank you, Amu, for your advice. Even if you hadn't said it, Yinzhen would have been desperate and would have tried every possible method."
Yinzhen respectfully performed the etiquette for a junior.
Hearing Amu, Liang Jiugong couldn't suppress the smile on his face and stepped forward to support the Fourth Prince.
As he approached that moment, he lowered his voice to remind, "In the next year's Northern Hunt, it is through inaction that we can achieve something."
Yinzhen shook his head: "None of this matters. I want to go and accompany Xian'er and her son."
Liang Jiugong smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Concubine Tong, I will help you win this game."
Yinzhen bowed and said, "Thank you very much."
Liang Jiugong responded, "You're a little too anxious about the Fanhua Tower matter."
"In His Majesty's heart, that prince is different from the other princes. He needs others to loosen up the soil before he can accomplish anything."
"Even if you took a risky tactic today and made His Majesty feel guilty about you, it won't be much. The only good thing about you is that you won over the Tongjia clan."
"Longkodo will be promoted to the post of Governor of the Nine Gates next month. This marriage is inevitable. You have done an excellent job. Today, His Majesty sighed twice when he mentioned the Crown Prince."
Even though his plan was exposed by Khan Ama's trusted eunuch, Yinzhen remained calm and nodded, "I still need your help in mediating."
Liang Jiugong waved his hand: "I just hope that the Fourth Prince can cherish Xian'er."
