Chapter 27 Quietly buried the little follower under the tree
What? The child she had conceived with great difficulty was murdered? When did it happen? Has the murder already been done?
The eldest prince's wife was shocked and angry. She held her stomach and stood up suddenly with a murderous look in her eyes.
The eldest prince, who was always as calm as a mountain, was also startled. He quickly stood up, tightly grasped his wife's hand, and leaned over to whisper, "Don't panic, I'll take care of everything."
The two of them stood up suddenly. Ji Jinyou was startled and looked up.
The eldest prince's wife looked unhappy, with her hands covering her stomach. She asked hurriedly, "Boss, what happened to my sister-in-law? Is your stomach uncomfortable? Has that person already taken action?"
System: [Not yet, otherwise I would be able to see the details. ]
Ji Jinyou breathed a sigh of relief: [That’s good. ]
That's good, that's good. The eldest prince and his wife repeated in their hearts, and their hearts finally settled down. The moods of the seventh and eighth princesses and the sixth prince also fluctuated greatly.
Seeing the chubby little girl staring at them with her big black eyes, the eldest prince stopped talking for fear that she would get suspicious. He helped the eldest princess sit down slowly and found an excuse for the two people's behavior: "Look at you, you've been out for such a short while and you're already thinking about the mansion. There are so many people here, how can I leave you."
Nothing had happened yet. The eldest prince's wife calmed down and followed the eldest prince's words and said, "My husband is right."
"Xiaojiu, come and have some cake." The Seventh Princess took Xiaojiu to sit on the couch, took a towel to wipe her hands, and then brought some snacks and placed them in front of her.
The eighth princess quietly went out to look for the imperial concubine who had gone to the storehouse to look for materials.
Ji Jinyou ate snacks absentmindedly, [Do you know who harmed my sister-in-law? ]
System: [I can’t see the name yet, I just said he’s from the mansion. ]
The eldest prince and his wife looked at each other and frowned.
If they don't know who it is, with so many people in the mansion, how should they start to find the person, and how should they prevent it?
Ji Jinyou was also worried about this and asked: [Boss, is the eldest sister-in-law a good person? ]
Objective statement of the system: [The eldest prince's wife is the daughter of a general. She has a generous personality and is righteous. She has never actively harmed anyone from beginning to end, but if you provoke her, she will definitely take revenge.]
[If you don't actively harm others, then you are a good person.] Ji Jinyou said, [Since my sister-in-law is a good person, then I should remind her, but how should I do it?]
The little girl was worried, her face wrinkled like a bun.
The system has no solution, so it is silent.
Ji Jinyou nibbled at the cake and suddenly thought of an idea: [How about I pretend to be sick? Then everyone will call the imperial physician to see me. Then I will ask the imperial physician to see my eldest sister-in-law as well. Then they will know that she is pregnant and can be careful.]
The system has no hands, otherwise it would slap away the slap: [Wow, Youzi is awesome, you can come up with such a smart idea! ]
Ji Jinyou was already accustomed to the system's sudden surprises and ignored them.
She turned her head and secretly glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone was holding their teacups and drinking tea, no one was paying attention to her, she said, "Then I will start acting."
The system encouraged: [Keep going, Youzi. I’m rooting for you.]
Everyone in the room looked at each other, secretly expecting to see how the little girl would perform.
Ji Jinyou finished the last bite of cake, her face suddenly wrinkled, she covered her stomach with her two hands and rolled on the couch: "Ouch, Youyou, my stomach hurts."
The chubby baby acted very well, rolling around, so cute that everyone couldn't help laughing, but they had to pretend they didn't know anything and hurriedly walked over in shock, "What happened to Xiaojiu?"
Ji Jinyou patted her stomach: "Youyou, my stomach hurts."
The Seventh Princess picked up Little Nine and pressed her little head against her chest. Her panicked tone was particularly exaggerated, "Someone, go call the imperial physician."
The maidservant waiting outside didn't know what was going on, so she quickly responded and ordered a quick-footed eunuch to run and get the imperial physician.
Ji Jinyou was afraid that her acting wasn't convincing enough and that she would reveal her true colors again, so she buried her little face in the Seventh Princess's arms, not daring to raise her head, and kept making sounds.
The eldest prince and his wife looked at the little girl who was acting very seriously, turned away, covered their mouths, and laughed silently.
The Eighth Princess and the Imperial Concubine came back from the storeroom. Before they even entered the room, they heard someone calling for the imperial physician. The two of them knew nothing and thought that something had happened to the eldest prince's wife. Their faces changed and they rushed in.
When she entered the room, she found the eldest prince and his wife, as well as the sixth prince, standing there with smiles on their faces. The imperial concubine was stunned, "What's wrong? Why are they calling the imperial physician?"
The Sixth Prince winked at her frantically, but before he could explain, he heard Xiaojiu groan twice.
Following the two childish cries of "Aiyou", the Royal Concubine finally saw Xiaojiu curled up in the Seventh Princess's arms. Her expression changed again. She hurried forward to hold the little girl and looked at her little face. "What's wrong with Xiaojiu?"
The Royal Concubine had a sharp gaze. Ji Jinyou was afraid that she would be discovered, so she put her little face into the Royal Concubine's arms and said, "Youyou, my stomach hurts. Ouch, it hurts."
There are so many people who are good at acting in the harem, and the imperial concubine saw through the girl's pretense at a glance.
Why did this child act so badly? The imperial concubine was at a loss for words, but she didn't want to expose the girl. She hugged the little girl tightly, looked up at everyone in the room, and asked with her eyes what was going on.
The eldest prince's wife pointed to her belly and explained with lip language: "Call the imperial physician for me."
Thinking of what Xiao Ba had just said to her, the Imperial Concubine guessed that Xiao Jiu must be trying to remind the eldest prince's wife.
It's hard for this kid. She's only three years old, but she came up with such a method and acted quite convincingly. It would have been even more convincing if she had stopped making the sound "ouch" all the time.
The imperial concubine was so fond of the little girl that she lowered her head and kissed her hairy head: "Don't be afraid, Youyou. The doctor will be here soon."
Hearing what the Royal Concubine said, Ji Jinyou felt relieved and quietly nestled in her arms, with her chubby hands still on her belly.
It was not convenient to communicate at this moment, and everyone was waiting quietly.
The imperial physician arrived soon. The imperial concubine pointed at the little princess in her arms and winked at him, "Come and see the ninth princess. She said she has a stomachache."
The imperial physician was a little confused by the look in the Royal Concubine's eyes, but after taking her pulse, he found that the little princess was fine. After a careful observation, he found that she did not look unwell anywhere. He immediately understood that perhaps the little princess was pretending to be sick in order to get something or achieve some purpose.
Seeing that Concubine Guang was trying to hold back her laughter but pretending to be sad, the imperial physician knew that Concubine Huang was just teasing a child, and he couldn't help but find it funny. He said gently, "Princess Jiu's pulse is normal, and there is nothing serious. If she still has abdominal pain, it may be due to a weak spleen and stomach. How about I prescribe some spleen-strengthening and digestion-promoting pills?"
When she heard that she had to take medicine, Ji Jinyou immediately stopped pretending, sat up straight from the Royal Concubine's arms, and waved her chubby hands: "Youyou is fine."
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Then I am relieved."
The imperial concubine held back her laughter and rubbed the little girl's head.
Ji Jinyou was afraid that the imperial physician would leave, so he pointed at the eldest prince's wife and said, "Sister-in-law, take a look too."
After saying that, she realized that she was too goal-oriented and quickly pointed at everyone in the room: "Big brother, Sixth brother, Seventh sister, Eighth sister, look at me."
This time everyone couldn't bear it anymore and they all laughed. The Eighth Princess ran over and pinched the little girl's face: "Xiaojiu, you little rascal."
Ji Jinyou felt guilty and just chuckled twice perfunctorily.
"Your Majesty, how about I take the pulse of each of the masters?" the imperial physician asked.
The Royal Concubine nodded and said, "Okay."
So the imperial physician took the pulse of each of them one by one. Princesses seven and eight took the pulse first. After the imperial physician examined them, he said that everything was fine, and then he took the pulse of the eldest prince's wife.
The doctor placed his finger on the wrist of the eldest prince's wife, and his eyes lit up. Knowing the importance of having an heir to the eldest prince and his wife, the doctor carefully examined the other hand to avoid misdiagnosis.
Although she had already learned from Tong Tong that she was pregnant, the eldest prince's wife was still very nervous. The eldest prince was also nervous. He held his wife's shoulders with both hands and stared at the imperial physician's face.
There were many times when the system said it didn't know, but Ji Jinyou knew that whatever he said was correct.
Seeing that the imperial physician was already examining the eldest prince's wife, she withdrew from the Imperial Concubine's arms, moved her two chubby legs to the table, and continued to eat her cakes.
The others all stared at the imperial physician with bated breath, not daring to make the slightest sound for fear of disturbing him.
The imperial physician confirmed it twice, smiled, and stood up to congratulate, "I, your humble servant, congratulate the eldest prince's wife, you are pregnant."
Before, everyone had been suppressing their emotions, but now they cheered openly. The Royal Concubine praised her repeatedly and sent for the Empress to come over. The eldest prince and his wife held hands and laughed, the sixth prince and the seventh and eighth princesses jumped for joy, and in an instant, the palace was filled with joy.
Ji Jinyou's ears were almost deafened by the noise. She shook her head and said, "Oh, you are so impatient."
The voice was like a baby's whistling sound, but the tone was so old-fashioned that everyone couldn't help laughing. The imperial concubine took the little girl back into her arms and kissed her hard on the face: "Our little Jiu is such a blessing."
The seven or eight princesses also ran over and kissed the little girl one by one. Even the eldest prince's wife came over, touched her little hand, kissed her little head, and said, "Little Nine is the lucky star of the eldest sister-in-law."
Ji Jinyou was so confused by the kiss that her eyes were filled with bewilderment: [Everyone, why do you all come to kiss me and say that I am a lucky star? I didn't let my sister-in-law get pregnant.]
The childish words made everyone laugh. The deafening laughter frightened Ji Jinyou so much that she shivered. Looking at the bright smiling faces, she also smiled happily.
There was a bustle and excitement in the Hibiscus Palace. Soon, the Queen also arrived. She stepped forward and took the hand of the eldest prince's wife, her eyes moist, "Good child, you have finally come to an end after all the hardships."
"Mother, I have finally made it." The eldest prince's wife hugged the queen excitedly.
For so many years, she had not conceived a child, and her mother-in-law, the Empress, had never said a harsh word to her, nor had she ever advised her to take a concubine for her husband. This made her feel even more guilty. They had all suffered together for so many years, and now there was finally an explanation.
The Queen had just arrived and didn't know what Tong Tong had said, so the Royal Concubine took the Queen to the inner room and told her everything that had just been said.
The Queen's face tensed when she heard this, and she finally decided that from today on, the Crown Prince's wife would stay in the palace to take care of the baby until the child was born.
But when the eldest prince and his wife were called in, they both disagreed.
The eldest prince has reached adulthood and is not allowed to stay in the palace without the emperor's order. He wants to take care of his wife personally and accompany her. He does not want to be separated from her for a moment.
Besides, he also had his own concerns. The imperial palace was much more complicated than his own home, and his mother was busy with palace affairs all day long and might not be able to take care of everything.
The eldest prince's wife felt that other princes' wives who were pregnant all lived in their own houses, but she was the only one who wanted special treatment, which was bad for the eldest prince's reputation.
Both of them believed that since they already knew someone was trying to harm them, they would definitely be more cautious and careful in everything, and would definitely not fall into the trap.
Moreover, the couple was confident that they would be able to find the man as soon as possible. If they did not even have this ability, there would be no need to think about the throne.
Finally, the eldest prince's wife asked the empress to invite her mother to her house to take care of her, and only then did she agree.
After the discussion, the eldest prince and his wife left the palace and went back to the eldest prince's wife's family to announce the good news and invite people along.
The Sixth Prince brought his elder brother and sister-in-law into the palace to see that Xiaojiu had completed his mission, and then left with them.
Before leaving, the three of them hugged Xiaojiu and said they would come to see her another day.
In the past two days, Ji Jinyou has gotten used to everyone's sudden enthusiasm and love. She smiled and responded, waving her little hand to say goodbye to them.
As soon as they left, someone from Fengyi Palace came to tell them that Dangui had returned, and the Empress also left.
As the sun was setting, Ji Jinyou had eaten a bellyful of snacks and fruits and didn't want to stay for dinner, so he told the Imperial Concubine that he wanted to go back. The Imperial Concubine asked someone to send him back, but Ji Jinyou said that Jin Xing was with him and refused.
The Imperial Concubine still asked two palace maids to follow her, and brought some snacks and fruits, as well as a few batches of fabrics for Rupin.
She did not let Xiaojiu take the materials with her. She planned to keep them in Furong Palace and leave the finished clothes with her. When Xiaojiu came back, she could take a nap or stay overnight, and she would have something to change into.
The sun was setting and the weather was getting cooler. Ji Jinyou wanted to take a walk by herself, but she walked too slowly. The two palace maids followed her in small steps, holding things in their hands, and it looked so tiring.
Ji Jinyou asked them to go first, and the two palace maids agreed and took the things to Miaoyunxuan first.
Ji Jinyou held Jin Xing's hand and walked back leisurely. When they were almost at the corner where they turned last time, they met the Yao Elementary School proton again.
Seeing that Little Proton looked normal, Ji Jinyou guessed that his little follower should be fine. As long as nothing happened, she didn't plan to talk to him any more, and walked forward leisurely.
Xue Yili went to collect food, but unexpectedly he met the little princess again. He put the bag of food on the ground, took out the little wooden horse from his arms, caught up with her, stuffed the food into her hand, turned around, picked up the bag of rice and left.
There is someone with her today so it is not convenient to talk. Let's find a time to thank her another day.
Jin Xing quickly took the ponytail and examined it carefully. Seeing that there was nothing strange, she returned it to the young master with confidence. She glanced at the little hostage again and saw that he did not turn back. She thought that he was just a child and was just giving him a gift because he saw that his little princess was cute. Although she found it strange, she did not take it too seriously and continued walking with the little girl.
Ji Jinyou looked at the pony in his hand, then turned to look at the skinny back of the young man, his eyes full of confusion: [What? Why did he give me a pony? Why didn't he say anything?]
System: [I don’t know. According to the original plot, he found out that his little follower was dead early this morning, but he didn’t report it. After crying bitterly, he quietly buried the little follower under a tree in the yard, saying that he would definitely take him home in the future.]
[It sounds really pitiful.] Ji Jinyou sighed, [But it’s better to bury him. If we report it, who knows where he will be taken to be buried next.]
System: [This little proton is too cunning. After burying the little follower, he went to collect food like everyone else. However, his bag of food was also mixed with medicine powder. After eating it, he broke out in rashes all over his body and lost half of his life. He almost died.]
Xue Yili heard the little princess chatting with the mysterious man who didn't know where he came from again. He was walking very slowly with the rice bag in his arms. He paused when he heard this.
