Chapter 209: Eliminate the Mother and Keep the Son
The second prince Zhao Yuxuan, the sixth prince Zhao Yuwen and Zhao Luoxuan burned incense, and Zhao Luoxuan couldn't wait to hold Gu Huan's arm.
She said with concern: "Sister Huan, don't be too sad."
"I'm fine." Gu Huan smiled slightly.
Zhao Yuwen also said, "Sister Huan, mother said she would ask for the title of Crown Prince for your unborn child. Father will definitely agree. Then, you won't be afraid of anything."
Gu Huan was surprised: "How can a child be named the Crown Prince before he is even born? We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl."
Zhao Yuwen continued, "No matter if it's a boy or a girl, they are both the Duke's only child. Girls can also inherit the title, because she is the only daughter of the most honorable Duke Yong."
Zhao Luoxuan flashed her big eyes and said, "Sister Huan, it's okay. If father still doesn't allow me to do so, I will go and cry and make a scene. Father loves me the most."
"Let's talk about the crown prince later. The child is only two months old, so let's take good care of him. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this blessing."
Hearing Gu Huan's words, the three of them were stunned.
Gu Huan patted Zhao Luoxuan's hand and said, "I know the good intentions of the two princes, the princess, and the queen. If the Duke of Yong knew about this, he would be grateful for the queen's kindness."
Zhao Luoxuan was helpless and looked at her second brother.
Zhao Yuxuan nodded: "We were not thoughtful enough. But please rest assured, the position of the Duke's son will definitely belong to the child in your belly."
Gu Huan smiled faintly and personally saw them out.
Along the way, dignitaries bowed to them one after another and whispered to each other.
"Is the Queen planning to support the widow of Duke Yong?"
"Of course. Think about it, the Mu family army is now leaderless. The emperor must choose someone to take over the Gu family army. The second prince has been to the Mu family army for a period of time, and the sixth prince has also worshipped Duke Yong as his teacher. It is only natural for the second prince to take over."
"Is this a matter of military power? Is this the position of the crown prince?"
"Hush, you are asking for trouble, discussing this here."
Everyone fell silent.
Gu Huan watched the prince and princess' carriage leave, then turned around and looked at Zhou Zhilan.
Min Dongsheng analyzed last night that the Queen was so good to her, firstly because of Zhao Luoxuan, and secondly to help the Second Prince in his fight for the position of Crown Prince.
The Queen not only adopted her as her goddaughter, but also asked the Emperor for an imperial decree on her behalf. This was to win over Gu Huan and make it clear to everyone that the Mu family belonged to her, the Queen.
How much does the Queen want to repay Zhao Luoxuan?
Maybe there are more reasons for the position of crown prince?
Right now, all eyes in the court are on the Yongguo Mansion.
Whoever holds hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers will be the winner.
Min Dongsheng said to pretend he knew nothing for the time being and let them fight.
Gu Huan thought, this might be the reason why Mu Junyan faked his death.
After a tiring whole day, Gu Huan took a shower, changed her clothes, and drank some tonic soup and chicken porridge, which made her feel much more energetic.
Chen Li walked in expressionlessly and sat down on the soft couch.
Gu Huan tilted her head and looked at her: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"Gu Wanru is pregnant."
Gu Huan let out a cry.
"Pregnant? Whose? Mu An's?"
Zhou Zhilan sat down next to Gu Huan and whispered, "I have interrogated him, it should be..."
Gu Huan looked at her: "Whose could it be?"
Zhou Zhilan frowned: "I can't even say it."
Gu Hua was surprised: "Is there anything else that Sister Zhilan can't say?"
"Do you remember that she found a pianist to teach her?"
Brother Ji?
Gu Huan's heart tightened: "Yes..."
"Yes, it's that person." Shen Li lifted up her skirt, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged on the soft couch.
"I have someone prepare some abortion medicine. I'll have her drink it soon and that will be all."
Gu Huan woke up from her shock: "No."
They both looked at her.
Gu Huan calmed herself down and remembered what Ji Xuanyu had said.
'Huan'er, I left one last thing for you. Gu Wanru deserves to die, you will know when you go back. '
It turned out that this was what Ji Xuanyu did for her. He did it on purpose to punish Gu Wanru.
But, she is carrying Brother Ji’s only blood in her belly!
Ji Xuanyu went astray, but if it weren't for Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru, how could he have become like that?
All this was caused by Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru!
Gu Huan sneered: "Let's go and see her."
How could she let Gu Wanru die so easily?
Jinxiu Pavilion no longer has the glory it once had.
It was deserted and overgrown with weeds.
There was a small stove lit in the main room, and an old woman was sitting by the stove, cursing as she warmed herself by the fire.
"Go out." Zhou Zhilan ordered.
The old woman quickly bowed to Gu Huan and left.
Gu Huan walked into the room wrapped in a cloak and stared coldly at Gu Wanru who was curled up on the bed covered with a tattered quilt.
Donghua looked around and saw that there was no chair in the room, so she turned around and went out to find a chair and brought it in.
Gu Huan sat down and looked at Gu Wanru calmly.
Gu Wanru stared intently at the mourning dress on her body.
"Who died?"
Gu Huan lowered her head and fiddled with the copper hand warmer in her hand: "You can't die."
Gu Wanru frowned: "You are in mourning? Could it be that Duke Yong has died?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she threw off the quilt and crawled to the bedside: "Duke Yong is dead? He must be dead, that's why you are wearing mourning! Mu An is dead, you must be very happy. Yes, Duke Yong must be dead."
Gu Wanru suddenly burst into laughter: "That's great. If he dies, you won't have time to have a child, and Mu An will be able to inherit the title! I'm pregnant with Mu An's son, and my son will be the prince of the Yong Kingdom!"
Gu Huan raised her eyes and looked at her curiously.
How could Gu Wanru have such a stupid brain?
"Whose baby is this in your belly?"
Gu Wanru's laughter stopped abruptly.
She immediately protected her belly and said, "Of course it's the son of the Duke's mansion. Don't even think about getting rid of him. If you dare to touch my child, I'll go to the government office and sue you!"
Gu Hua raised her eyebrows: "Think carefully, whose child is this in your belly?"
Gu Wanru’s face froze.
Gu Huan didn't want to see her disgusting face again, so she slowly stood up and glanced at Gu Wanru.
"Gu Wanru, you had an affair with a man outside your family and got pregnant with his child. You violated the seven grounds for divorce. You are now divorced by the Mu family."
Gu Wanru was furious: "How dare you! You are just a concubine, what qualifications do you have to divorce my wife!"
Zhou Zhilan raised her hand and slapped him.
He shouted angrily, "How dare you speak to our lady like that!"
Gu Wanru covered her face and glared at Zhou Zhilan.
Gu Huan smiled and said, "Eldest sister, our statuses have been reversed. You are the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family, and I am the legitimate daughter. You are the divorced wife of the Mu family, and I am the wife of the Duke of Yong, a third-rank lady, personally granted by the emperor."
Gu Wanru was so shocked that her tone of voice changed: "Legal wife? A third-rank imperial edict? You are talking nonsense, you are crazy!"
Gu Huan sighed: "You can't go crazy."
She leaned close to Gu Wanru's ear and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Gu Wanru, don't worry, Brother Ji will borrow your belly to give birth to a child, and I will raise him well."
After Gu Huan finished speaking, she immediately took two steps back, and Dong Hua quickly stood in front of her to protect her.
"What did you say? What Brother Ji?" Gu Wanru's face was ashen, and her hands were tightly grasping the edge of the bed.
Gu Huanwei bent down and looked at her with a half-smile: "You invited Brother Ji here yourself. Did you volunteer to bear his child?"
Gu Wanru was stunned.
Gu Huan stood up straight and ordered coldly: "Mu An's original wife Gu Wanru committed adultery and got pregnant with a bastard. She should have been beaten to death. I have compassion for her and will remove her name from the Mu family tree out of pity for the child. I will send the guilty woman to a nunnery to become a nun. After the child is born, I will let her die to atone for her sin."
"Gu Huan, how dare you! I don't want to give birth to a bastard!"
Gu Wanru cried and waved her arms, rushing towards Gu Huan.
Donghua and Zhou Zhilan held her on the left and right, preventing her from moving and from hurting the baby in her belly.
"Tied her to the bed, and do not hurt the child."
Donghua called a few strong women and tied Gu Wanru tightly to the bed.
"Tell housekeeper Zhou to go to the government office tomorrow to file the divorce letter, and also submit the document that Gu Wanru is Ji Xuanyu's concubine. From now on, Gu Wanru will take the surname Ji and become Ji Xuanyu's concubine."
After saying this, Gu Huan turned and left, all the pent-up anger in her heart dissipating.
Gu Wanru, just live well until the child is born, and suffer for Aunt Pei!
Brother Ji.
I'll leave you a child.
In this life, I will educate your children to be excellent children!
