Chapter 304 The Empress's Domineering Aura: I'll Raise This Child! The Crown Prince is Stunned and Gets a Severe Scolding
Mingchu herself didn't know why she had become like this. She hated herself, but she couldn't control herself at all!
Seeing Mingchu's pained expression, Meng Yanzhi didn't know how to comfort him. She knew very well what it felt like to love someone, and she also understood the despair of not being loved by the one you love.
She stepped forward, gently helped him up, touched Mingchu's little cheek, and finally said, "Alright, don't cry. You're about to become a mother, why are you still so weak? Right now, all you think about is men. After your child is born, most of your attention will be on the child."
“I will never raise the child.” Mingchu touched her lower abdomen. “I am just a lowly concubine. How can I raise the eldest grandson? So they will definitely give my child to the Crown Princess.”
Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi also fell silent for a while. She could tell that Mingchu's life would not be easy after giving birth.
But these were all her own choices, weren't they?
"Mingchu, you can think about this carefully. Do you regret it now or not? You must be clear in your heart about what you want and what you don't want. If you can't figure it out yourself, no one can help you!"
After saying that, he simply waved his hand helplessly.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay for a few days?"
Mingchu had no intention of staying. She stood up, bowed, and turned to leave, but cried out the moment she turned.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Miss, my stomach hurts so much! Am I going into labor? It hurts so much!"
Ming Chu's lower body was soaked, and he then collapsed to the ground, no longer daring to move.
"Summon the imperial physician!"
Meng Yanzhi had already given birth, so she was quite experienced in dealing with such matters. She hurriedly instructed her subordinates to prepare, and then had someone call Xiao Ce over.
Xiao Ce hadn't expected that Ming Chu would give birth so soon after entering the palace. Upon receiving the news, he rushed into the palace and stood guard at the gate, looking at Meng Yanzhi: "How is she? The baby, where is the baby?"
"Giving birth is a very difficult thing, how could it be done in one go?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Ce coldly: "She has had a miscarriage. I want to know why?"
Xiao Ce never expected Meng Yanzhi to pursue this matter at this time. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He could only look at her awkwardly and say in a low voice, "It was my fault. I said a few words to her, but I didn't mean to."
"You don't like Mingchu, do you?" Meng Yanzhi had no choice but to get straight to the point: "From the beginning, you only took her in to save face for me. Anyway, your Crown Prince's residence doesn't need another person, does it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ce became a little anxious. After thinking for a moment, he still said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to talk about these things."
"I'm asking you, after the child is born, who do you plan to give him/her to raise?"
"You didn't like this child in the first place, and now that she's premature, are you hoping for both of them to die!"
"Xiao Ce, I trusted you so much, and I gave you my most precious Ming Chu, but how could you treat her like this!"
Meng Yanzhi finally couldn't bear it any longer. Even though the two of them were different now than before, Meng Yanzhi's protection of Mingchu had never changed!
She took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Ce, wanting a definite answer!
Seeing Meng Yanzhi's angry expression, Xiao Ce finally understood that Mingchu was the most important person in Meng Yanzhi's heart.
Upon receiving the message, Xiao Xingyuan rushed over and saw the two facing off. He hurriedly walked over, frowning as he looked at Xiao Ce: "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." Meng Yanzhi tugged at Xiao Xingyuan, then said sullenly, "He doesn't like this child. Since that's the case, let him raise the child with Aman after it's born, so it won't be an eyesore!"
"Mother, I don't dislike this child. I just think it's against the rules." Xiao Ce looked helplessly at Meng Yanzhi and weakly defended himself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan gently patted Meng Yanzhi's shoulder and said softly, "Alright, alright, I know you're worried about Mingchu, but this is a matter between the two of them. Don't get so agitated, okay? Take care of yourself."
"I!" Meng Yanzhi was about to say something, but when she met Xiao Xingyuan's eyes, she suppressed all her temper and could only grit her teeth and look at Xiao Ce: "If Mingchu is alright, that's fine, but if anything happens to her, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"
"It's born!"
"It's a young master!"
The midwife inside carried the baby out and knelt on the ground to offer her congratulations.
Meng Yanzhi shook off Xiao Xingyuan's hand and strode inside.
"Early Ming Dynasty!"
Meng Yanzhi rushed to the bedside and grabbed Mingchu's hand, looking at her nervously.
"What's wrong? Why did she faint? Is something wrong with her?" Meng Yanzhi looked at the imperial physician beside her with a gloomy expression.
The imperial physician wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty, don't worry, she's fine. She's just too tired and fell asleep."
I see.
After hearing these words, Meng Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stayed by Mingchu's side, refusing to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Xingyuan's expression turned rather unpleasant. He looked at Xiao Ce with displeasure and said irritably, "What's wrong with you? How come you can't even manage your own wife? You need the Empress to worry about you too?"
Well……
Xiao Ce was already overwhelmed with problems, and he never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would completely disregard his life and death and only blame him.
"I really didn't mean it." Xiao Ce's face was full of grievance: "It was the Empress Dowager who targeted me."
against?
Xiao Xingyuan raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiao Ce, and snorted: "Then tell me, what did you do wrong? Why are they targeting you?"
“I don’t know what I did wrong. Mingchu is a concubine and shouldn’t have kept the child at this time. But for the sake of the Empress Dowager, I kept the child. But she still seems unhappy.”
"Father, you know Mother best, so why is she unhappy?"
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a wronged expression.
This stumped Xiao Xingyuan. He sighed, then sat down on a chair and said sullenly, "If I knew why she was angry, I wouldn't be here talking to you like this."
Now, the two of them felt a sense of shared misfortune, and their eyes were filled with helplessness as they looked at each other.
When Ming Chu woke up, it was already the next day. She was stunned when she saw Meng Yanzhi lying by the bedside.
