In the Princess's Mansion.
"Mother, what should we do now? The Queen is pregnant, and the Emperor can actually have his own child."
He has been so active recently that he almost led the ministers who supported him in the court to force the emperor to make him his heir.
Now, as soon as the news that the emperor had a child came out, those ministers who supported him turned against him one by one.
He has become a coward. He used to swear that he would support him, but now he has become a quail.
A dark glint flashed in the eldest princess's eyes: "Hold steady. We can't panic at this time. She's just pregnant, and it's not certain whether she can carry the baby or not."
The prince's eyes widened: "Mother, if this fails——"
"Do you think we can retreat now? We've already been caught up in this struggle for imperial power. We've done everything we should and shouldn't have done."
"Given your uncle's character, we have no way out."
The prince took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and shuddered at the thought of the emperor's methods.
"Mom, what should we do?"
"We are not the only ones who want to get rid of the baby in the Queen's belly. I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine will be even more anxious than us."
The prince frowned: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor must protect the Queen well. It will be too difficult to succeed. What if the Imperial Concubine fails and gets us into trouble——"
The eldest princess picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea: "What does it have to do with us? Xiyue seems to have a good relationship with the imperial concubine. Let her move around."
The prince looked at his mother and found for the first time that his mother was so strange.
That's his sister, his biological sister from the same mother.
Doesn’t she usually pamper her?
The eldest princess sat down and said, "Don't look at me like that. Sometimes if you want to get something, you have to make sacrifices."
"How can someone who is indecisive and procrastinates accomplish anything great? When danger strikes, the wisest thing to do is to sacrifice the pawn to save the driver."
"If anything happens, mother is proud of your sister."
There was only a hint of hesitation in the prince's eyes, and then his gaze became firm.
Yes, from the moment he started to covet the throne, there was no way out, and the good situation was ruined by the sudden birth of the fetus.
Now he only has a chance if he removes the fetus.
Prime Minister Xu had just returned from court, and he looked extremely unwell, as if he had lost his soul.
When Prime Minister Xu thought of the ministers' ridicule, he couldn't help but look around his own mansion.
Now the eldest son has moved out, the eldest daughter has become the queen, and is pregnant with the prince.
He should have been the most glorious father-in-law of the emperor, but because of his wrong choices, he became a laughing stock among the ministers.
Now even newly appointed officials dare to ridicule him for being blind.
I wanted to find some comfort from Mrs. Wu, but I heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and I was immediately furious.
He walked in, picked up a chair and threw it at the mother and daughter.
"If you want to die, get out of here and die! Prince Qin is on fire, and you still dare to rush over to him."
"How could I have such a shameless daughter like you? It's such a misfortune for our family, such a misfortune for our family."
Staring at Wu, Prime Minister Xu hit her mercilessly again and again.
Even though Wu's head was bleeding, she didn't stop.
"It's all your fault, bitch. Otherwise, how could I have separated from my two children? It's all your fault, all your fault."
Xu Youran was dumbfounded and scared. She hugged herself and hid in a corner, watching her mother turn into a bloody person without a sound.
A month later, Xu Jinyi learned that Wu had fallen ill and passed away.
Xu Youran also married Lu Daqiang, a soldier under her father.
I heard that Xu Youran had a hard life after getting married, and her mother-in-law was a powerful one.
He couldn't stand Xu Youran's pretentious look every day, so he found work for her every day.
Originally, she didn't think it was that excessive because she was the prime minister's daughter, but after she found out that the prime minister didn't care about her, she became even more excessive.
He seized a small portion of her dowry and complained about how little the dowry was for a prime minister's daughter.
Even the maid was taken by the mother-in-law as a concubine for her son so that the family could have more children.
To put it bluntly, I don't want to spend money to take a concubine for my son. Of course, I can't refuse a concubine who can give birth to children for free.
Now that the maid has become the master, although she is not as pretty as Xu Youran, she is more humble.
Lu Daqiang was very satisfied with her sex life, so he doted on her quite a bit.
So when he saw the maid bullying Xu Youran, he didn't say anything, but instead stared at Xu Youran sinisterly.
After several months, Xu Youran was tortured to the point that she looked several years older.
"Lu Daqiang——"
"No matter what, I am still the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. How dare you treat me like this? You let a lowly maid bully me."
"My father is your boss. Aren't you afraid of what will happen to you if he finds out?"
Lu Daqiang lowered his eyes, his expression darkening as a hint of sarcasm crossed his lips. "Xu Youran, you don't think you're still some young lady, do you? When your father handed you over to me, he said that once you enter our family, your life and death will be our Lu family's business."
"Do you think he'll still care about you? You're just a bitch who's been played with."
Lu Daqiang had a gloomy look on his face and was quite dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xu.
He thought that Prime Minister Xu was suddenly so nice to him and married his beloved daughter to him in order to promote him.
Who would have thought that he would be treated as a scapegoat and a daughter who had been played with so much would marry him as his wife.
Thinking of the wedding night, when he was happily preparing for the bridal chamber, he tore off the wedding dress and saw the woman's body covered with bruises and marks of ambiguity.
Lu Daqiang felt furious. Of course he knew what those marks were.
Although he has not married, it does not mean that he is inexperienced and does not understand these things.
In the past, I would go to a brothel with my brothers to meet our needs.
All the women in the brothels have such marks on their bodies.
And the wonderful marks on Xu Youran's body are even more outstanding than those on the girls in the brothel.
You can imagine how dissolute they are in this regard.
How many people have slept with this body, and how many people have laughed at him behind his back for marrying such a piece of shit?
He was so complacent about marrying a rich lady, it seemed the Prime Minister disliked his daughter and wanted him to take over.
I have to say, Lu Daqiang really believed it.
This was exactly what Prime Minister Xu meant. After all, his daughter was already a fallen woman, and who knew what embarrassing things she would do if she stayed at home, so he simply turned a blind eye.
Although he was angry, Xu Youran was still his boss's daughter after all, so it was impossible for him to return the goods.
Unless he no longer wants this position.
Since there was no way to find trouble with Prime Minister Xu, Lu Daqiang could only vent all his anger on Xu Youran.
No one knew what happened in the bridal chamber that night. All they heard was Xu Youran's extremely miserable scream.
