When Concubine Chen thought of the Laba Festival that Qin Zhenzhen mentioned, she couldn't help but remind her mother that she hoped her mother would be more vigilant after returning home.
But when I thought of my mother, she discovered the clue as soon as she arrived. She is really very wise.
Looking at herself, if she had not heard her daughter's voice, she would have been killed by the midwife and the wet nurse.
Although she didn't know how the wet nurse did it, she would not risk her daughter's life.
[My mother and grandmother were really smart. They searched for evidence in my grandfather's house. I remember...]
The two were waiting for Qin Zhenzhen to continue speaking when they saw that she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei could only leave with regret.
After her mother leaves, Concubine Chen will call Liusu and Liuying back in.
"Liuying, you go in person to take care of the sachet. Liusu, the food in the imperial palace these few days must be strictly controlled."
After she finished her instructions, she fell asleep with Qin Zhenzhen.
The next morning.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has come here in person to inquire about you and the little princess." Liuying stepped forward to help Concubine Chen tidy up the bed.
"Let Lin'er in quickly." Concubine Chen felt a pain in her heart. She had always been arguing with herself about the Third Prince's disability, and the mother and son seemed to have become much more distant.
An eight-year-old boy was pushed in by a eunuch in a simple wooden wheelchair.
When Concubine Chen saw the little boy's calm face, the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed.
After she entered the palace, she was quite favored and soon gave birth to the third prince. Because her father was the Marquis of Zhenbei, she was named Chen Fei.
The third prince has been intelligent since he was young. Fearing that the queen would be jealous of him, she often told him not to show off.
Unexpectedly, when he was five years old, he inexplicably fell into the lake.
When everyone discovered him, the third prince Qin Jinlin was already lying by the lake, his life or death uncertain.
Although he woke up after being treated by the imperial physician, he could not move his legs at all, and his personality became unpredictable, making him very difficult to get along with.
Even the emperor was unable to find out the truth of what happened back then.
This also created a rift between her and the emperor, otherwise she would not have become pregnant with Zhenzhen eight years later.
Concubine Chen sighed in her heart and hid the heartache in her eyes.
"Son Jinlin pays his respects to Mother Chen."
The eight-year-old boy has a pair of slightly upturned eyes and pursed lips. One can already see the contradictory look of a gloomy face when he grows up, which should be bright and cheerful.
He was very thin, and his purple robe was unusually empty and ill-fitting.
He saw Concubine Chen staring at him and felt extremely embarrassed. He then looked at the baby in the cradle and lowered his eyes sadly.
Ever since he was injured, his mother has taken good care of him and even tolerated all his bad tempers.
But what he feared most was seeing pity and sadness in his mother's eyes.
Now that his mother has given birth to a healthy little princess, he can rest assured.
Even if he is gone one day, I believe my sister will be able to accompany mother well.
He took out the Hetian jade peace locket from his arms and was about to put it into the swaddling clothes when his hand froze.
[This is my brother, he's so handsome.]
Who is speaking?
Qin Jinlin resisted the urge to look around, and tried to focus his attention on his sister.
Qin Zhenzhen held Concubine Chen's hand and looked at her brother carefully.
My brother is incredibly thoughtful, intelligent, brave, and handsome. If he were in any other book, he'd be a perfect yandere hero. He truly is my brother.
The gloom in Jinlin's eyes was almost broken, and only then did he notice his sister's wolf-like eyes.
Is this the look a newborn baby should have?
Was it my sister who was talking just now?
Ever since the accident, he has not liked to smile and his face doesn't show much expression.
But when he observed his mother and the palace maids, they didn't seem to have any abnormal reactions.
Is he the only one who can hear it?
Is this God's compensation to him?
"Alas, my brother hasn't smiled since the accident. He's become gloomy and depressed. Emperor Daddy had no choice but to give up on him. He no longer has a chance to take the throne."
Jinlin looked at his legs mockingly. From the day he became disabled, he had no chance of becoming emperor.
【But brother, have you ever thought about it? 】
[Due to the relationship between mother and the emperor, as long as you survive, you will be the greatest threat in the eyes of some people. Mother cries every night, blaming herself for not being able to protect you well, and sincerely hopes that you can wake up and understand.]
