Chapter 252 Miscarriage
[After going through this, it's truly not easy for Prince Rui to develop the gentle and approachable personality he has today.]
Ever since Prince Rui was poisoned, the tyrant has felt both guilty and grateful towards him. The Queen Mother, however, has treated him like her own son, providing him with everything from food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, much like a tyrant. She also treated Concubine Chunhui with great courtesy. Over the years, Prince Rui and the Queen Mother have developed a mother-son bond.
After the tyrant ascended the throne, in addition to Prince Shun, he also left Prince Rui in the capital, treating his younger brother as he had always done. If Prince Rui's health hadn't been so poor, the tyrant would have given him a few positions to play with. After all, Prince Rui's brains were still quite useful.
Chu Liuzheng finished the last bit of bird's nest, wiped his mouth, and was about to wash the porcelain bowl when a white shadow walked in.
【Why is this fake here again? 】
Chu Liuzheng bowed and saluted: "Your Highness Prince Rui, best wishes."
"Get up." Prince Rui glanced at the porcelain cup she was holding and asked with a smile, "What did you eat just now?"
Chu Liuzheng answered truthfully: "Bird's nest."
Seeing that the porcelain cup was empty, the smile on Prince Rui's face widened: "As long as you like it."
Chu Liuzheng:?
Is there something wrong with this statement?
At this moment, Yuzhui came in carrying a small food box: "Liu Zheng, Yu..."
Suddenly seeing Prince Rui standing in the room, she hurriedly bowed and saluted: "This servant greets the prince, may the prince live long and happy."
Prince Rui waved his hand to signal her to stand up, and said gently, "You seem so happy. What snacks did the imperial kitchen send you?"
"Yes..." Yuzhui was about to reply when she saw Chu Liuzheng winking at her desperately. The words on her lips suddenly changed and became, "...Mung bean cake, would you like to try it, Your Highness?"
Mung beans are cold in nature and King Rui cannot eat them.
He turned around and motioned Chu Liuzheng to follow him out, as if he had something to say.
Chu Liuzheng sighed secretly, asked Yuzhui to help her wash the porcelain cup, and followed King Rui's back and left.
The two of them walked one after the other to the Moon Pond. Chu Liuzheng felt that it was not a good idea to continue walking like this, so he hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Prince Rui. "I dare not leave for too long. I wonder what instructions the prince has for you?"
Hearing this, Prince Rui stopped and turned to look at her, a look of loneliness between his brows. "I want you to walk with me and talk."
[Putting aside the purpose of the imposter, the King of Rui's face when he looks melancholy is truly stunning!]
Chu Liuzheng slapped himself in the face and said calmly, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I dare not leave my post without permission. If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave."
She bowed to King Rui, turned and left.
"Wait!" King Rui reached out and grabbed her arm, "Something happened."
Chu Liuzheng struggled to pull his arm back, but it made King Rui hold it tighter.
[How could a sickly person be so strong? ]
She struggled again, but Prince Rui still wouldn't let go, so she had no choice but to say, "This is against the rules. Please let go, Your Majesty. I'll just listen to you."
Seeing the annoyance on her face, King Rui immediately let go of her and asked, "Sorry, did I hurt you?"
[If you knew it would hurt, you should have stopped touching me.]
Chu Liuzheng shook his head.
Prince Rui looked at her and said softly, "The eighth day of the second lunar month is my mother's death anniversary. I will leave the palace and go to the imperial mausoleum to pay tribute to my mother on that day. Can you accompany me?"
[The Concubine Chunhui doesn't have a fake son like you.]
Chu Liuzheng decisively refused: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I cannot leave the palace without permission."
"It's that I can't, not that I don't want to." The corners of King Rui's lips curved slightly, and his eyes were gentle, which made Chu Liuzheng get goosebumps.
[Just say what you want to say, why are you pretending to be so affectionate? Don't think I'll be blinded by your lust just because you have a face as bright as the moon!]
Chu Liuzheng wanted to make an excuse: "Your Majesty, I don't..."
Before she could finish her words, Prince Rui said, "I've asked Eunuch Zhou. You don't have to be on duty that day. I can take you out secretly and bring you back at night. Your brother won't find out."
[Damn it, how did this imposter know I was going to use being on duty as an excuse?]
The palace is full of tyrants' eyes, and Chen Xing and Si Yue are two of them. If I dare to sneak out of the palace with a fake, I'm afraid I'll be beheaded. I'm not tired of living yet.
"Your Highness, this is against the rules. I'm sorry, I can't obey your order. If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave first." Chu Liuzheng bowed and turned away without giving Prince Rui a chance to speak.
Her skirt fluttered as she walked quickly.
Looking at her slender back, the smile on Prince Rui's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.
Xiao Er squatted in the dark and watched, shaking his head in disgust.
Even with Prince Rui's good looks he can't pick up girls. This fake guy is too useless.
As expected, even if he is not the crown prince, he does not look like the emperor when he puts on the dragon robe. It is such a waste of Prince Rui’s handsome face.
On this side, Chu Liuzheng almost jogged all the way back to Wenhua Palace.
"I was just about to look for you." Yu Zhui's eyes lit up when he saw her coming back. "Your Majesty wants to drink ginger tea. The turmeric has been delivered and I have ground it. I don't know how to make it after that."
"It's not difficult, I'll teach you." Chu Liuzheng took off his scarf and pulled the collar to breathe.
Seeing that her lips were dry, Yuzhui poured her a cup of warm tea and asked curiously, "What did His Royal Highness Prince Rui tell you?"
[Tsk tsk, such a gossipy tone! If I tell Yuzhui that the faker invited me to accompany him to visit Concubine Chunhui's grave, she won't immediately think that I'm getting married and having a baby with the faker, right?]
"We just chatted for a while, nothing important." Chu Liuzheng changed the subject, "Let me teach you how to make ginger dew tea. If His Majesty wants to drink it in the future, you can make it too."
"Okay." When it came to business, Yu Zhui put aside his gossipy thoughts and started to learn from Chu Liuzheng seriously.
*
Two days later, light snow fell.
Bad news came from Youlanju that Concubine Gao had a miscarriage.
When the news reached Wenhua Hall, Chu Liuzheng had just taken the blue and white porcelain cup out of the tray.
If she hadn't been so steady, the emperor would have been splashed with liquid.
Everyone in the hall knelt down, and in order to appear more sociable, Chu Liuzheng knelt down as well.
[Oh, I forgot. Gaopin also kept dreaming of white shadows. Maybe, like me, she also has bugs in her body.]
Xiao Jingfan's eyelids twitched. Is this really the case?
[Since I was in frequent contact with Miyue, she noticed something was wrong. However, Concubine Gao didn't have a master like Miyue by her side, and the Imperial Hospital couldn't find out what was wrong.]
[Tsk, I'm a young and strong man, but I've been tortured by the poisonous insects and my blood and qi have been depleted. Gaopin, a pregnant woman, had her dreams even earlier than me. It's not easy for her to hold on until now.]
Chu Liuzheng didn't have a good impression of Gao Pin. After all, Gao Pin wanted to harm her with medicine, but she wouldn't feel very happy when she heard that Gao Pin had a miscarriage.
She quietly turned on the system.
In the past few days, she has been searching the system for the reason why she was poisoned, but because the system does not specifically record her gossip, and she has too few clues, she has not found anything after searching for several days.
But Gaopin is different from her. Maybe she can find out how Gaopin was tricked.
[Hmm... Concubine Gao suffered a miscarriage out of shock and has fallen into a coma, bleeding profusely. The Imperial Hospital is doing its best to save her. Oh no, it looks like it's seriously injured.]
"Let's go to Youlanju." Xiao Jingfan strode out with a sullen face.
Zhou Yuande immediately shouted, "Go to Youlan Residence."
As he chased after him, he did not forget to pull Chu Liuzheng along.
Chu Liuzheng, who was interrupted while eating melon, said: "..."
She is not Xiao Anzi, why did Eunuch Zhou drag her into this?
