As soon as Xi Que came out of the house, she led the nanny to Yin Yichen's side and said to him, "Prime Minister, this person deliberately revealed the affairs of the General's Mansion when Madam was giving birth, which frightened Madam. Madam was already having a difficult delivery, what should we do now?"
After hearing this, Yin Yichen immediately glanced at the midwife mentioned by Xique, and his expression was extremely cold.
Seeing Yin Yichen's look, the midwife knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him repeatedly, "Prime Minister, this matter was originally my fault. I really didn't expect that the matter being shouted outside was actually about Madam's mother's family. It was just that Madam asked, so I said it casually. I didn't expect it to end like this. I hope that Madam Prime Minister will understand."
Yin Yichen was unable to find out clearly at this moment. He just sneered and looked at the midwife and said, "Clearly? I'm afraid we should really investigate who sent you. But even without you, I could have found out even if you were the one who ruined things."
As Yin Yichen spoke, he reached out and grabbed the midwife's neck. In a short while, the woman was dead.
Yin Yichen pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, looked at Xi Que beside him and said, "Clean it up. As for the madam, I'll find a way."
Xi Que responded and immediately went down to dispose of the midwife's body.
The veins on Yin Yichen's forehead were throbbing. He turned to his mother inside and asked, "How is Madam now?"
The mothers inside were all anxious. They looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Prime Minister, the madam is frightened right now. We don't know if she can give birth to the baby safely. If an imperial physician could come and take a look, it would be a good thing."
Seeing this, Yin Yichen immediately glanced at the guard in front of him. Seeing this, the guard walked out without looking back and went to the capital to ask the famous doctor to come here for a check-up.
Yin Yichen was waiting anxiously, but he didn't expect that after a while the famous doctor came and the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.
The mother in the delivery room also immediately cried out in joy, "It's born, Madam, it's a boy. Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister."
Yin Yichen didn't care about the child at this moment, and immediately asked inside, "How is the wife?"
The mother inside replied to Yin Yichen, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Madam just fell asleep due to exhaustion. It's nothing serious."
After hearing this, Yin Yichen finally felt relieved.
After settling Song Wanning, he turned around to deal with the servant who had talked nonsense.
Yin Yichen asked the guards around him to go out and inquire for a while. They found out that there was no such thing as General Song Jing falling off his horse. It was just an idea to harm Song Wanning.
Yin Yichen was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, and his subordinates were all capable, so it didn't take long for them to get to the bottom of the matter.
Under severe torture, the servant quickly confessed, "It was Princess Xiangyu. Princess Xiangyu gave me five hundred taels of silver and asked me to do this for her. It really has nothing to do with me. I beg the Prime Minister to spare my life."
"It's none of your business?" Yin Yichen sneered, looking at Xi Que beside him and said, "Escort this man to the Dali Temple and hand him over to Qian Xingyu."
Before Yin Yichen finished speaking, Song Jing and Song Lan from the General's Mansion had already rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to know Song Wanning's whereabouts.
Fortunately, Song Wanning and her child were safe, and Song Jing and Song Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days later, Yin Yichen presented a memorial to the emperor. The emperor looked at Yin Yichen and read the memorial again and again.
Yin Yichen spoke coldly, word by word, "Your Majesty, my wife nearly lost her life. If it weren't for her good fortune, I'm afraid we would have both died. Such a vicious move, Your Majesty, please do me justice."
The emperor's expression turned cold at this point. He had never thought that Princess Xiangyu would be so audacious. She could come up with such a foolish way to harm others.
The emperor had a headache and just looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation on this matter."
It wasn't long before word of this spread. Upon hearing the news, Concubine De was horrified and went to question Princess Xiangyu, "Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me and your brother?"
Princess Xiangyu's face was ashen. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Concubine De repeatedly. "Mother, I was wrong in this matter. Please help me. Otherwise, I am afraid there will be no chance for me to turn things around."
Concubine De, however, just had a dark face and said coldly, "It's useless. Your father has always favored Yin Yichen. Now that he is so powerful, and you have harmed his wife like this, I'm afraid he will not let it go. In order to calm his anger, your father will naturally do something to make him feel at ease."
Princess Xiangyu burst into tears and grabbed Concubine De's feet, "Mother, please help me plead with the emperor. I am his real daughter, mother."
Seeing this, Concubine De's face darkened. She looked at Princess Xiangyu and said slowly, "This palace can't help."
Concubine De was right. After the news of Princess Xiangyu spread, some ministers also reported Prince An's previous clique-building activities, saying that Prince An had long coveted the throne. However, the emperor was now in the prime of his life. How could he allow a young boy like him to stir up trouble here?
The emperor was furious and abolished Prince An's power, making him only an idle prince. Concubine De was also implicated. As for Princess Xiangyu, it goes without saying that she was married off to a husband who lived 800 miles away from the capital.
The Queen's party seized the opportunity, the Crown Prince regained power, and the situation in the palace changed suddenly.
Both Concubine De and Prince An Xie Ke died, but the Queen's party managed to gain a foothold.
On the contrary, Yin Yichen was no longer as arrogant as before, but became more energetic, which surprised everyone inside and outside the court.
No matter how busy Yin Yichen is now, he always makes time to accompany Song Wanning and the children, which makes everyone in the capital envious.
When Lu Zijun and Song Wanning talked about this, Song Wanning just smiled faintly, "He is a father now, so naturally he is more stable than before."
Lu Zijun was surprised. She looked at Song Wanning and asked, "So being a father can actually change so many things?"
Lu Zijun said, touching her belly, looking at Song Wanning and smiling, "I'm also pregnant, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
After hearing this, Song Wanning looked at Lu Zijun and smiled faintly, then slowly said, "If my eldest brother knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside, "I already know."
Song Wanning and Lu Zijun both looked outside and saw Yin Yichen and Song Lan walking in. Yin Yichen's face was gentle, but he could also see the hint of a smile. Song Lan's smile was so beautiful that it seemed to light up the starry sky.
