Chapter 176 She is Princess Ling Zhao
"What should I do? Shu'er is about to give birth. If she gets smallpox, then..."
When Song Fanghua got the news, she started wiping away tears.
"Cry, cry, cry, cry all your blessings away."
Shen Changxing said impatiently, "There are so many good doctors in the palace, they can even cure smallpox!"
When Shen Changxing got the news, he was really worried. He didn't have to worry about his eldest son-in-law being deposed as he was the crown prince. He still had his second son-in-law!
The second son-in-law became the crown prince. Although he was still the same official, he obviously felt the flattery from everyone!
The East Palace is now infected with smallpox. What if...
Bah. Bah. Bah.
Shen Changxing said, "Pray well at home and bless Ling Shu to give me two grandsons!"
“…”
After hearing this, Song Fanghua's tears fell even harder. He was just thinking about Shu'er giving him a grandson so that the Shen family could be rich and prosperous. Why didn't he think about the fact that Ling Shu was pregnant and someone in the palace was infected with smallpox!
Song Fanghua clasped her hands together and prayed, "God bless, Shu'er and the child are safe, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also safe."
Princess Mansion.
Song Yuqing learned that the East Palace was infected with smallpox and the princess had gone to the East Palace again yesterday. When he received the news, the princess's courtyard had been surrounded.
"Your Highness."
Song Yuqing was stopped at the gate. He said, "Move aside. I want to see the princess."
"Prince Consort, the princess cannot see anyone now."
The nanny in charge stopped him and closed the door directly. The princess was isolated in her own yard. Anyone who had contact with the princess yesterday was isolated. All the clothes worn yesterday were burned. The used tableware and other items were thrown away if possible, and burned if they could not be thrown away.
"Your Highness."
Song Yuqing knocked on the door anxiously. Princess Lingzhao felt anxious and guilty. After hearing Song Yuqing's voice, she walked into the yard and said, "Prince Consort, please leave quickly."
"I might have smallpox, too."
Princess Ling Zhao sighed and said, "I really didn't know there was smallpox on that dress, otherwise I wouldn't have sent it to the Eastern Palace."
Princess Lingzhao was cautious along the way, but unexpectedly, she still fell into someone else's trap.
“…”
"Don't worry, I haven't seen Concubine Shen. She should be safe."
Princess Ling Zhao didn't listen to the voice outside and added, "Go away. Don't get close to me."
"Your Highness, we are husband and wife."
Song Yuqing stood at the door and said, "Since we are husband and wife, we should share the joys and sorrows and hardships together."
"you……"
Princess Lingzhao stepped forward excitedly. Through a door, her heart slowly calmed down. She said through the door: "Concubine Shen is fine. It is Concubine Fang who has a fever."
"You go."
Princess Lingzhao leaned against the door. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but she didn't feel any warmth at all. She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and let the sunlight glare at her.
After being married for more than half a year, Princess Lingzhao initially thought that Song Yuqing's personality had become a little cold, but one day, she would be able to warm him up.
However, as time went by, she gradually discovered that Song Yuqing seemed to have a lover.
until……
A few days ago, Concubine Fang came to her and chatted with her, talking about how Concubine Shen was so beautiful and charming that everyone liked her.
When Concubine Fang kept mentioning that Song Yuqing and Concubine Shen were childhood sweethearts and had a deep affection for each other, Princess Lingzhao realized that Concubine Fang was saying that the prince consort and Concubine Shen had an affair?
Even more, Song Yuqing's sweetheart is Concubine Shen?
During those days, she was in a daze and deliberately went to her mother-in-law to test her. Her mother-in-law was tight-lipped, but who was she?
Princess Lingzhao!
Although Ling Zhao did not grow up in the palace, she knew very well the intrigues and deceptions there. She only needed to use a little trick to understand it.
Song Yuqing really likes Shen Lingshu.
No wonder Song Yuqing was not enthusiastic about her.
No wonder Song Yuqing always did things in the boudoir in a perfunctory manner.
It’s all because she is not Song Yuqing’s sweetheart.
Her eldest brother was deposed, and her second brother became the crown prince and moved into the Eastern Palace. Concubine Fang invited her into the palace again. She understood the hints from Concubine Fang's words, but...
After returning to the mansion, she thought about it for a long time and finally refused. She was Princess Lingzhao. Without Shen Lingshu as her sweetheart, would Song Yuqing even look at her?
When she saw Concubine Shen who was pregnant, she was also jealous, but...
She can't do it.
When Princess Lingzhao opened her eyes and decided to deliver the gift, she deliberately changed her clothes, for she was worried that Concubine Fang would make some movement. If Concubine Fang did not do anything, it would be fine, as she could wear the small clothes anyway.
But if Concubine Fang takes action, she will harm both herself and others.
But she never expected that Concubine Fang would be so cruel that she would not even let herself go. Wasn't she afraid that the musk would harm her?
Now Concubine Shu has made some changes to it.
How did Concubine Shu get the smallpox on her clothes?
Ling Zhao was puzzled.
Outside the door, Song Yuqing said, "Your Highness, I'm worried about you. I'll go and take care of you."
"You are not a royal physician, nor a medical practitioner. What's the point of you coming here? You might as well go and find out more information." Princess Lingzhao made up her mind not to let Song Yuqing in, so she went into the house.
That's enough.
Princess Lingzhao entered the house and listened to the knocking on the door outside and Song Yuqing's worried voice. Whether it was real worry or fake worry, at least she was worried.
Imperial study.
The emperor listened to the doctors' helpless words and said in a deep voice, "If you can't save the prince, you don't need to live."
"emperor."
The imperial doctors looked at each other, and then tried to think of ways to find medicine.
The imperial doctors left and the secret guards came in. The emperor took a look and then walked towards the Weiyang Palace in a menacing manner.
The emperor directly threw the evidence he found at Concubine Shu: "You, what do you have to say?"
Concubine Shu was very happy and was just waiting for the news of the death of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. By then, her son would be the rightful crown prince!
Ling Zhao is cautious, and Concubine Fang also wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. What a pity, she has been in control of the palace for more than ten years, how could she not have the means?
Although several hidden stakes were destroyed this time, she was not afraid.
She put musk on the small clothes on purpose, just to make the matter bigger and expose it to Chu Cong, so that the clothes stained with smallpox could fall into his hands.
It would be best if the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace contracted smallpox and died. If he didn't die, he would be unlucky and not worthy of being the Crown Prince.
Concubine Shu, who was just happy, knelt down quickly when she saw the emperor's angry look. She glanced at the letter in front of her which described how she had done it. She thought she had concealed the truth perfectly, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body.
It turned out that what she thought was a secret was not a secret.
"You destroyed the crown prince and supported the third brother to take the throne, so you can become the queen mother?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Shu coldly. Since he had decided to support the second son to ascend the throne, he had considered where Concubine Shu would go. She would leave the palace and go to the fiefdom with the third son to live out her life.
Who knew that Concubine Shu would dare to touch the prince!
