Han Luoxue: ?
What? You want her father to come and be the county magistrate? Is that appropriate?
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Han Luoxue knew that Han Yuchen was taking care of her, but Han Mingyuan had never been an official before, and she was worried that he wouldn't do a good job.
“I will send someone over to assist him first, and then let that person leave once our father gets used to it.”
this……
Han Luoxue was shamefully tempted. Her father was so intelligent, but he didn't have the opportunity to study when he was young. Otherwise, he could have become a county magistrate, or even a higher official.
“I’ll ask him about the children. By the way, Sister Zhou, the children’s father has been arrested. Could you have someone send them some food? I’ll also inform Aunt Xu and see if she wants to take the children back.”
Zhou Jie nodded:
"I'll make the arrangements after I finish eating."
"Brother Chen, what about Mengyao's younger sister?"
Based on her understanding of Mengyao, this woman might actually kill her to silence her.
"I have already sent word, and the Empress should know by now. I believe she will handle it."
Han Yuchen has quite a few people in the palace. If you casually let the palace maids in the Empress's palace know, they won't dare to hide it.
The Crown Prince has already encountered an accident, and since this concerns his offspring, there can be absolutely no mistakes.
The palace maid was still somewhat incredulous when she heard the news, and she hesitated whether to tell the Empress.
Another palace maid beside her noticed that she looked preoccupied and asked her curiously.
She recounted the story, and the palace maid was stunned. They had never imagined the Crown Princess would be so audacious.
Using his sister's pregnancy as a cover for his own?
this……
If you really want your sister to have a child, you can just openly bring her into your household. Why go through all this trouble?
"Hurry and tell Her Majesty, this might not be false. That child is His Highness the Crown Prince's only heir. If something happens to him, we're all doomed."
The palace maid also looked terrified. When the Empress is angry, she doesn't care whether you've made a mistake or not.
Since the Crown Prince disappeared, several of their palace maids have been beaten to death.
Normally, these are just minor issues, and the Empress would punish them slightly, but lately she's been beating them to death.
The lives of palace maids were worthless, but they didn't want to die.
"Then come with me."
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, but still went to request an audience with the Empress.
The Empress was stunned when she heard this.
Are you serious?
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. I just overheard them talking about it while I was working. I was worried it might be true, so I came to report to you."
The Empress did not allow the two of them to get up. Her brows were furrowed. Mengyao rarely came to the palace. Since the Crown Prince's accident, she had been hiding in her residence, rarely venturing out!
She thought Mengyao was sad and upset, after all, the Crown Prince had treated her very well in the past. But now it seemed that she was worried that she would notice something was wrong.
The affair between Mengyao and Zhenwang was the talk of the town in the capital a while ago.
Damn it, what is that bitch planning to do? Is she going to kill that child?
The Empress clenched her fists tightly in anger and resentment.
"Guards, I wish to go to the Crown Prince's residence myself."
Whether the news is true or false, she needs to verify it.
"Your Majesty, what about them?"
Looking at the two people still kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, Granny Li gave them a reminder.
"reward."
The two palace maids happily accepted the reward, and the Empress summoned three imperial physicians, who then went directly to the Crown Prince's residence.
When Mengyao heard that the Empress had come in person, she hurriedly got up to greet her.
However, when she saw the people the Empress brought, her heart skipped a beat.
There were three imperial physicians, but none of them were her usual physicians.
The Empress is...
That shouldn't be the case. Not many people know about that matter; they are all people she trusts implicitly.
"Mother?"
"Yaoyao, how are you feeling now?"
The Empress smiled kindly, and Mengyao also raised her head, her face full of worry:
"Mother, Yao Yao is in good health, and the child is very well-behaved."
"That's good. Sigh, you know, the Crown Prince is nowhere to be found right now, and this baby in your belly is his only child, so..."
The Empress sighed, and Mengyao hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, Mother. Yao Yao will take good care of herself and the baby in her belly."
"Of course the Empress Dowager trusts you, but this is, after all, the Crown Prince's only child, so we must be more careful."
"That's just how mothers are, they're always worried."
The Empress sighed and summoned several imperial physicians.
Mengyao was unhappy:
"Mother, the child is fine, I don't want to..."
"Yaoyao, it's just a pulse check, don't worry."
Mengyao: How could she know the Empress was coming today? She didn't even take her medicine.
The doctor said last time that the medicine was bad for my health and would affect my ability to have children in the future.
That's why she decided to eat it only when necessary, but who could have imagined that the Empress would suddenly come over.
"Granny Li, hurry up and serve her."
Despite being called a servant, Granny Li actually pinned Mengyao down.
Then he took out one of her arms, ignoring Mengyao's resistance, and had the imperial physician take her pulse.
It wasn't just one imperial physician, but three who took turns taking pulses.
Large drops of sweat dripped from Mengyao's forehead as she looked pleadingly at the imperial physician. Unfortunately, with the Empress still present, who among them would dare to tamper with anything?
Besides, they didn't discuss it beforehand. What if they said something wrong? That would be troublesome.
"how?"
After seeing that all three had finished taking their pulses, the Empress spoke calmly.
Her expression was calm, and her tone was the same as usual, but Mengyao was so frightened that she almost fell over.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess..."
"Um?"
"The Crown Princess is not pregnant."
"Crown Princess..."
Everything went black before Mengyao's eyes, and she finally fainted.
"Not pregnant?"
The Empress's gaze turned cold as she looked at the unconscious Mengyao, unsure whether it was real or not.
The Empress sneered, pulled a hairpin from her hair, and plunged it into Mengyao's philtrum.
The empress was furious and her attack was ruthless. With that blow, blood gushed out, enough to make even the dead feel pain.
"ah……"
A bloodcurdling scream woke Mengyao from the pain!
She was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud and began to sob.
"Heh, as expected of the Meng family's daughter, you're truly audacious! Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Mengyao knew that she couldn't hide anything anymore at this point, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
“Mother, Yao Yao was confused. His Highness said that if we didn’t have a son, he would marry another woman. Yao Yao’s body is normal, but I just can’t get pregnant, so I thought of letting my sister try. Yao Yao also knows the importance of children, so I came up with this idea.”
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed repeatedly, and soon her forehead was bleeding.
What about the younger sister who got pregnant in your place?
