After leaving Consort Li's place, the Crown Prince went to the Crown Princess's place.
The Crown Princess was somewhat surprised to see her arrive. She had just received news that he had gone to Consort Li's place. How could she possibly return after going there? The Crown Princess was quite astonished.
"Greetings, sir. What brings you here? Didn't Sister Li invite you to stay for a meal?"
When she said this, the Crown Princess had a virtuous look on her face and a flawless smile, like a good wife and mother.
The Crown Prince said coldly, "From now on, you don't need to worry about the Li family anymore."
The Crown Princess looked completely bewildered: "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"
She was very puzzled.
“She has done something wrong, and will no longer be a concubine. She will be confined to her quarters for life.”
The Crown Princess was taken aback upon hearing this, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, but she couldn't hold back. She then looked at the Crown Prince with a feigned look of astonishment: "What did Sister Li do? No matter what, she gave birth to two children for you, my lord!"
The Crown Prince didn't say much to the Crown Princess. He simply gave her something that Emperor Kangxi had given him. The Crown Princess happily accepted it, but after reading it, she looked terrified.
"My lord, please let me explain."
The Crown Prince said, "You don't need to explain. It was Father Emperor who investigated. You'll be confined for a while!" He didn't say when you would be released this time.
He spared her life only because of her family background; he had nothing to say to the Crown Princess.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
The Crown Prince saw that she had fainted, but his expression did not change. He immediately ordered the nanny guarding the door to call the imperial physician.
When the imperial physician heard that the Crown Princess of Yuqing Palace had fainted, he rushed over in a panic. After taking her pulse, he discovered that the Crown Princess was pregnant and already a month along.
It's fair to say she was pregnant before she even had any ulterior motives.
Upon learning that the Crown Princess was pregnant, the Crown Prince's expression was quite varied. He had always dreamed of having a legitimate son, and now that the Crown Princess was pregnant, he should have been happy. However, thinking about what she had done, he felt distressed.
The Crown Prince was conflicted, and the Crown Princess slowly woke up: "What's wrong with me?"
She looked at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince said, "The imperial physician said you are one month pregnant. You should rest and recuperate."
After saying that, he left.
The Crown Princess was left lying on the bed in a daze.
She's pregnant?!
She's one month pregnant.
So what did all she did amount to? She was outsmarted for nothing. The "borrowing luck" was a lie. She was indeed capable of getting pregnant, but her image in the eyes of the Emperor and the Crown Prince was now ruined.
She touched her belly, filled with unspeakable regret.
She now only regrets that time cannot be turned back.
After the Crown Prince left, he sighed and then ordered someone to go to the Qianqing Palace to "report the good news" that the Crown Princess was pregnant. The punishment of confinement would have to wait; the child was more important.
After leaving the Crown Princess's place, the Crown Prince went directly to Tong Yunyao's place.
At this point, she was unaware of what had happened, and the Crown Prince arrived directly with a royal physician.
When Tong Yunyao saw the Crown Prince arrive, she said with a look of surprise and delight, "Your Highness, you've finally come! My unborn child has been missing you."
The crown prince looked at her belly without saying a word, and directly told the imperial physician, "Take her pulse."
The imperial physician said "Yes," and then went to take Tong Yunyao's pulse.
Tong Yunyao looked at the unfamiliar imperial physician in front of her with some curiosity, but she did not resist. She said, "Thank you for your concern for me and my child, Your Highness."
The crown prince couldn't help but twitch his lips.
That's incredibly narcissistic.
The imperial physician placed his hand on Tong Yunyao's pulse through a handkerchief, and then he began to frown.
He examined it more closely, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
Tong Yunyao's heart tightened as he frowned several times, and she hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician, is the baby in my belly alright?"
The imperial physician was somewhat embarrassed. Of course, the child was fine, since there was no child at all, so what could possibly happen?
The imperial physician shook his head: "The concubine is fine, but she has probably misunderstood; you are not pregnant at all."
Tong Yunyao's eyes widened in surprise: "What did you say?"
The imperial physician repeated, "You are not pregnant."
Tong Yunyao didn't believe it. She murmured, "How could that be? I'm clearly pregnant, I'm already three months along."
The imperial physician said, "Please forgive my lack of knowledge and skill; I am incompetent and cannot diagnose your pregnancy."
The Crown Prince said to the imperial physician, "Alright, don't talk about this. The medical record says that Lady Tong was weak and unfortunately miscarried."
The imperial physician was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then lowered his head and said, "This servant understands."
The crown prince waved his hand: "Get out!"
Imperial Physician: "This servant takes his leave."
Even after the imperial physician left, Tong Yunyao was still devastated!
"My lord, my child is gone."
As she spoke, she started to cry.
The Crown Prince couldn't stand her stupidity. She was so stupid and vicious. If she were a little smarter, she wouldn't have been used and manipulated by others so many times.
Anyway, the Crown Prince was in a bad mood today and couldn't stand anyone. Tong Yunyao was pitiful, but it was her fault for having such wicked thoughts.
They actually believe in such absurd things as borrowing luck.
"Don't cry, child. Tell me about borrowing the treasure first."
Tong Yunyao was taken aback when she heard this. She had been so discreet, how did the master know?
Seeing that she remained silent, the Crown Prince frowned: "Why won't you admit it?"
Tong Yunyao naturally denied it: "What are you saying, Master? I don't understand!"
The prince summoned a young eunuch and ordered him directly, "Go and find the thing in the hidden compartment under the bed."
As soon as Tong Yunyao heard him mention the hidden compartment under the bed, she knew that nothing she said would make a difference.
The eunuch moved swiftly, and pulled out the rag doll with Tong Cheng'er's birth date and time from the hidden compartment. The crown prince looked at the doll and said coldly, "Get rid of it quickly."
