Once this thought came to me, it spread like wildfire within me.
As a concubine of the Earl's family, Yun Yuan can marry the second prince, so why can't I?
On the way back to the Annan Marquis' Mansion, I kept thinking about how to divorce Yi Xianyu and how to get in touch with the Second Prince. After thinking about it, I came up with an idea.
Yi Xianyu got into trouble outside and was assassinated.
I was kicked out of the house by my mother-in-law. My father thought it was shameful for me to be kicked out and was unwilling to let me return to the uncle's house. I took the opportunity to go to Yun Yuan for help. As long as I cried pitifully enough, she would help me.
The result was just as I expected. I moved into the Second Prince's Mansion. When I heard that His Majesty was going to make him the Crown Prince, I became even more motivated.
I encountered the Second Prince in the mansion by chance under the pretext of taking care of the child. I chose clothes in a similar style to the one Yun Yuan wore when she rescued the Second Prince. Yun Yuan was wearing my clothes at that time, and I remember the details of the clothes very clearly.
I haven't had a smooth life these past few years, and I even suspected that she had stolen my luck. She was able to save the Second Prince by wearing my clothes, and made the Second Prince have a good impression of her.
The Second Prince really noticed me.
But he said, "You dress in a unique way, but it doesn't suit you. Try changing your style in the future."
I held the handkerchief in my hand and said, "Your Highness, this is how I dressed before I got married. What's wrong with that?"
He said, "If your Highness asks you to change, then change. Why are you asking so many questions?"
My idea of becoming Yun Yuan's substitute failed.
Yes, the Second Prince and Yun Yuan have been in a relationship for five years, and they have three children in between. How could he be easily deceived by me?
That’s right, kid.
I set my sights on those three children and deliberately bribed servants to gossip about them when the Second Prince passed by, saying that the children Yun Yuan gave birth to were not his. Otherwise, why did so many women fail to get pregnant, but Yun Yuan got pregnant, and with three children at once?
The second prince was furious when he heard this and sold out the servant who spread the rumor. He did not go to see Yun Yuan that day, but stayed in the courtyard all day.
I know that the Second Prince has become suspicious of Yun Yuan. When the time is right, I will find a guard from the Marquis' Mansion.
The guard owed a lot of money from gambling, and his family of eight were taken away by the gambling house. Now he regrets it and urgently needs money to save his life. I gave him money and asked him to slander Yun Yuan.
I told him about the marks on Yun Yuan's body, such as the moles and scars on her knees. Those were caused by a fall when she was a child that was not treated in time, and only people who were close to her would know about it.
When Yun Yuan and I were close, we once took a bath together. I also stole Yun Yuan's bellyband and gave it to him, proving that they were having an affair.
The second prince's expression was extremely frightening at the time, and he brought the guard to question Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan refused to admit it because she didn't do it. As for why she was the only one who could give birth to a child among so many women in the backyard, Yun Yuan explained that she took a secret medicine.
But the second prince didn't believe it at all. He hit Yun Yuan in a rage. Yun Yuan was too weak to bear it and fainted.
While the Second Prince was collapsing and confused, I took advantage of the situation, approached him, comforted him, and climbed into his bed while he was drunk.
The second prince thought he had forced me and felt very guilty. I sympathetically said that he was not responsible, but he said he wanted to take me as his concubine.
I firmly refused. My goal was not to be a concubine, but a principal wife.
The second prince felt even more guilty towards me. When he was depressed, I took care of him without taking off my clothes. My hard work paid off, and he gradually developed feelings for me. I took advantage of his trust and tentatively said that I was the one who saved him.
This is actually very easy to expose. After Yun Yuan disappeared, many people saw me in the team. My father, mother and Marquis Annan were all witnesses. I was betting that the second prince trusts me more now.
The Second Prince confronted Yun Yuan again. Yun Yuan, who was only breathing her last, said, "I am no longer able to argue, but these three children are indeed yours. If you don't believe me, bring them here and we'll prove our relationship through blood tests."
I did something in the water.
The second prince overturned the water and walked away.
After he left, I didn't leave. Instead, I told Yun Yuan what I had done and proudly told her that I would be the prince's wife soon.
Yun Yuan looked at me with hatred. "From childhood to adulthood, I have helped you so much. I treated your aunt, let you eat with me, and I lent you clothes and jewelry from the Marquis' Mansion when you wanted to wear them. After you got married and had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion, I also spared no effort to help you and establish your authority. Tell me, what do I owe you?"
I laughed wildly: "You don't owe me anything, but your things are the best I can get. If I want to be the best, I must grab everything I can. It's you who is blocking my way."
Yun Yuan's chest trembled violently, and her breathing became rapid. "I am now at the end of my strength. I will not pose a threat to you. Please let my child go."
"Impossible." I said, "I will have my own children in the future. They are all obstacles in my way."
Yun Yuan suddenly laughed: "Haha, you will regret it. My today is your tomorrow."
The Second Prince came back to find me, and I pretended to be aggrieved. The Second Prince thought I was wronged and his impression of Yun Yuan became even worse.
In the end, Yun Yuan lay on the bed and watched us go out hand in hand with hatred on her face, and she died that night.
The Second Prince didn't shed a single tear and married me as his principal wife two months later. The reason he gave to the public was that his three children were not yet grown up and needed a mother, and he felt more at ease because I had a good relationship with Yun Yuan.
Only I know how indifferent the second prince is to his three children.
I did a good job on the surface. When my three children saw me, they felt like they were seeing their biological mother. But I was impatient inside. I desperately wanted to have my own child, but there was no movement in my belly for a year.
I thought of Yun Yuan. She must have had something to rely on to give birth to three children. I looked through her belongings and found that the dowry she brought when she got married is now mine.
Finally, I found the pills that Yun Yuan had hidden and learned her secret. I took the green pill, then deliberately forced the second prince to drink and made him take the red pill.
A month later, I found out I was pregnant.
The second prince was overjoyed and treated me like a treasure. At the same time, he treated the three boys even less well.
Servants also serve food according to the guests. One night, the third princess was caught in a cold breeze, but the second prince did not take it seriously, so she just left.
The emperor was furious and asked the second prince to investigate thoroughly. The second prince punished a few maids and servants, but the punishment was not severe enough.
When I was six months pregnant, one day, the second prince came back from the morning court with a very bad complexion. When I asked, I learned that the emperor had called him to the imperial study to discuss that if I gave birth to a boy, the child would be adopted by the eldest prince.
Neither I nor the Second Prince are willing.
The second prince thought that only the baby in my belly was his real blood, so he naturally refused to adopt. The emperor suddenly wanted to give the eldest prince a child, which must mean he wanted to pass the throne to the eldest prince.
But I don’t want to be separated from my son. Rather than being a princess, I would rather be a queen, and later a queen mother.
In order to prevent my child from being adopted, the two older children could not be kept either.
