Chapter 172 Something is wrong
The young eunuch came back to report to everyone.
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is fine in the Queen Mother's Palace."
This young eunuch was also afraid of death, so he never went to see the Queen Mother, nor did he see her there. He just wandered around the gate of his palace.
After all, they are all masters, people he cannot afford to offend, and he does not want to offend them.
"My dear, you can rest assured now. I told you that my mother would not harm such a young child. After all, the child is innocent. We adults should not involve children in our affairs."
In the Queen Mother's palace.
Empress Dowager Liu was so amused by the child that she couldn't stop laughing.
But he still felt a little jealous in his heart. After all, this was not his biological grandson. It would be much better if he was his biological grandson.
However, she still felt that there was no need to blame the adults' mistakes on a child.
After Empress Dowager Liu coaxed the child, she gently placed the child on the bed in her bedroom.
When the nanny beside Empress Dowager Liu saw the child fall asleep, she said to Empress Dowager Liu: "Your Majesty, perhaps what the Crown Prince said is right. No matter who becomes the emperor, you are the Empress Dowager who is second only to him and above all others. But this child is ultimately a calamity. If our Crown Prince does not give birth to a son or daughter, there is no way he can inherit the throne. Then the throne will still be passed on to this kid in the future. Why don't we find a suitable opportunity to get rid of this kid so that there will be no future troubles?"
"Don't talk nonsense, old slave. How could you have the heart to kill such a lovely child? Besides, no matter what fault the child has, he didn't want to be born in this royal family. It's not his fault that he has become what he is now. It's all because the world is too unfair. He just wanted to be a child of an ordinary family."
In fact, Empress Dowager Liu is still quite kind. After all, she has no grandchildren to cherish, so other people's grandchildren will naturally treat her better.
"You should just do your part. As for the young master's affairs, I will make arrangements for them."
In the Crown Prince's palace, the imperial physician has already prepared the medicine and sent it to them.
The Third Prince drank the medicine brought by the imperial physician in one gulp and fell asleep in a short while.
Gu Leyou was a little scared when he saw this, so he quickly went forward to take his pulse and found out that he was just asleep, so he felt relieved.
Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly ordered his men to send the prince to a side hall to rest.
As for the young lady Gu Leyou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also arranged for someone to send her back to the prince's palace.
This is the imperial palace after all, not a place where ordinary people would want to live forever.
However, Gu Leyou was very worried about the child's safety.
Although they didn't know much about these two big men, they knew that the palace was where the most powerful people lived, and if the child was here, the child's life might be taken away in a moment.
So as a mother, she couldn't just leave a child alone.
So she held her daughter in her arms and knelt down before the Crown Prince again.
"Your Highness, I am also a mother. I cannot watch my child fall into a dangerous situation. Although you are the child's uncle, the child has been with me for a long time. What should I do if something happens? Besides, the child has just recovered from his illness. It is really difficult for the child to accept a new environment. Your Highness, please let me stay in the palace so that I can take care of him."
"My dear lady, do you mean to say that my mother and I would harm a child who has done nothing wrong?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked.
Gu Leyou explained, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I just said that as a mother, I must always know how to protect my child. Although the child is not my own, I have been with him for several years. I have to take his feelings into consideration. He has been with me for so long. If he suddenly changes his environment, I am afraid he will not be used to it and will disturb the Queen Mother's rest."
Faced with such a powerful aura, she was able to remain calm and deal with it, which made her admire herself.
Although the three of them came into the palace with the prince and the child, they did not know where their husbands had been taken by the Crown Prince's men. They did see the Crown Prince, but what about their husbands? I don’t know where I am.
While these people are still useful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they should not harm their own husbands.
"Your Highness, the prince has already taken the sleeping pills prescribed by the imperial physician. No, it's tranquilizers. He has fallen asleep and will sleep for several days. You can do what you want, but I beg you not to hurt the child. After all, the child is innocent. There is no need to involve a child in our affairs."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that now it was not a question of whether or not he ascended the throne, but rather about persuading all those who could be persuaded to surrender.
If you can't use it for your own benefit, you have to take other measures.
"You said your husband is a tactless person. I have already said that if he is willing to be the general, he can stay and continue to be his general. Then you will be the honorable general's wife."
"Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth? If you want to hear it, we will tell you the truth without flattery." Gu Leyou said.
"Then young lady, you should tell the truth. I prefer to believe people who tell the truth." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained.
"Your Highness, it's just like what you said. We are ordinary people. If I hadn't married my husband, I would have just married an ordinary man as his wife. I would never have been able to become a general's wife. In fact, it doesn't matter to me whether I become a general's wife or not."
"Then don't you want to enjoy wealth and glory? Don't girls like you who were born in a poor family want to be successful one day?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Maybe this is what you who live in the capital and were originally from the royal family think. I don't think that. I've said before, if I hadn't married him or didn't know his identity, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. Even if I knew his identity later, I didn't want to be a general's wife. After becoming an official, sooner or later I will bring myself to death. It's better to be a commoner and support myself or my family with my own hands."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally understood.
However, he still planned to persuade them. If the two of them were willing to stay and work for him, then he would be even more powerful in the future.
"My dear lady, are you willing to stay and become the general's wife? If you are willing, your account must be left as well. Then I will give you endless wealth and glory for the rest of your life. You don't have to separate from the child, and the child can continue to call you father and mother. Isn't that better?"
Gu Leyou said: "But we are self-aware. We know that it is not our child, but the prince's biological son. We are just raising him on his behalf. One day, we will have to return him to the prince. That day has come so soon. We have already returned the child to him, so our mission is accomplished."
Seeing that this young lady was so stubborn, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't waste any more words with her and directly sent people to take them all away.
When Gu Leyou saw the Crown Prince coming, he immediately knelt down again.
She stood up and knelt down again and again several times. There was nothing we could do about it, since she was a big shot.
Gu Leyou must not be taken away by them. If she is taken away by them, she will not be able to see the child.
"Your Highness, I've said before that the child has been with me for too long. If anything happens to him in the Queen Mother's Palace, I will be held responsible. So I hope you can come forward and take the child out. We are all adults, there is no need to embarrass a child. Just let me take the child back to the palace. This will be good for all of us. You still have to prepare for the succession, and there are still many things to do. If the Queen Mother misses the child, she can send someone to bring us all into the palace at any time. This will be a rare good thing for all of us."
Gu Leyou's words of persuasion, which appealed to both reason and emotion, hoped to make the other party change his mind and not send her out of the palace, or to let the child go back to the palace with her.
As for the prince, there shouldn't be any problem.
After all, the prince is still useful now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not do anything to him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was moved by her motherly love and agreed to let her stay. However, if she was not the general's wife and her husband was not the general, she could not stay in this capacity and could only stay as a palace maid.
"This prince agrees to let you stay, but you can only stay as a maid, and you can only live with those maids. Are you really willing? And you can't see the prince casually, unless he wants to see you."
This is the rule of the imperial palace. If she doesn't follow the rules, he, as the Crown Prince, can drive the young lady out of the palace at any time.
Gu Leyou thought about it and agreed.
Now they can only focus on the overall situation and be careful with these people.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for a palace maid to take Gu Leyou. Brought to a small house.
"My lady, you can stay here first. If the young master wants to look for you, we will come to find you."
"Thank you, young lady."
This house is quite quiet and very remote. It is probably an abandoned yard with no one living in it.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite considerate of him and actually arranged a single room for him to live in.
After Lu Yan was brought out, he was extremely anxious, after all, the prince and his wife and daughter were in there.
It would be even more troublesome if I went back. If I didn't go back, my wife, children and the prince would be in danger.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the palace's housekeeper found him.
"The general prince is in the palace, but he won't wake up no matter how hard we try. I suspect that the prince has been harmed by the crown prince. He won't remain unconscious forever."
After he followed the butler back to the palace, a person came to the door. It was a young lady.
"It's General Lu, right? I'm a little girl beside the prince. I can leave the palace now. I know everything that happened in the palace. Don't worry, the prince will be fine."
"Miss, why are you so enthusiastic? You even informed us of the prince's news."
The butler was a little suspicious.
After all, when they were so worried, there was actually a girl who came to tip them off. Could this be a trap? Before they could react, would they be caught by someone in the dark?
Road extension. They also felt that this matter was not that simple, so they had to be careful and not fall into the trap of those people, otherwise if they were all caught, no one would save the prince and the others.
After seeing the girl off, they hurried into the palace and invited a trustworthy doctor to see the prince.
This is what the doctor replied after examining it.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this is not serious. I just took an overdose of tranquilizer. Once you take this tranquilizer, you will be able to sleep for several days, so don't worry, there will be no problem."
"When will the prince wake up? Will there really be no problem?" Lu Yan asked.
"Please rest assured that there will be no problem. If you want the prince to wake up quickly, I have to go back and study the prescription and then give it to the prince. But I don't know if it will work because I don't know the dosage of the tranquilizer that the prince is taking."
Lu Yan remembered something at this time, and he replied: "Then we know, doctor, I will have someone send you out first. As for the prince, should we let him wake up now? Let's discuss it and then invite you."
It was already morning time.
After sending the doctor away, Lu Yan said, "I understand. This tranquilizer must have been prescribed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the prince. In order to ensure the safety of us, the prince was forced to drink the bowl of tranquilizer with a dose. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have wanted to take advantage of the prince's sleep for a few days to do his own big thing.
"Then what should the general do? What he wants to do is to ascend the throne that does not belong to him. We can't stop him. We have few people and they have many. If we stop him, we will lose our lives."
What the butler said makes sense. Whoever sits on that supreme seat must sit on it and cannot give it up to anyone else. Even if the prince is unwilling, we have to persuade him.
Although this Jiangshan design has nothing to do with people like us who are not involved, for the sake of the people of the world, we must do our part and not let the villain succeed. The eldest prince did this just to continue to occupy that position. His previous statement of abdication was probably just a show for those people to see.
However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term and cannot be rushed. After all, it will take a few days for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. The current priority is to wake up the prince first, and then discuss the next thing with the prince to see what he wants to do.
