The prince was well aware that the power of the other party who could extend his hand to the East Palace where he lived must not be underestimated, so he took it very seriously and personally interrogated the four eunuchs who carried the sedan chair.
There was nothing wrong with these four people. The eunuch who fell was purely careless and stepped on a pool of oil. As for why the oil appeared in that place, there was no need to guess because someone did it on purpose, and they were targeting the Crown Princess.
The person who could take action outside the East Palace must be the one in charge of sweeping and cleaning, and he must also know the whereabouts of the Crown Princess. Otherwise, how could the other party sprinkle the oil so accurately on the path that the Crown Princess must pass, and even calculate the time so accurately.
You know, if a pool of oil suddenly appeared on the bluestone road, the palace maids and eunuchs walking in the palace would definitely find it, so timing is very important.
The prince was very sure that someone must have colluded with insiders and outsiders to plot against the Crown Princess. This was even more intolerable to him. He had to find out who was betraying him.
Following these two clues, the prince began to continue investigating. This time, the queen also sent capable people around her to help. After all, this was her territory, and someone dared to stir up trouble here, and her authority was also violated.
After much investigation, they found out that the crime was committed by the prince's two concubines. The prince was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand.
"Great! I didn't expect it to be the two of them. Aren't they always at loggerheads with each other? Now they're working together so well that they're actually plotting against me!"
The prince took Quanfu to the concubine's courtyard and directly banned the two of them. He stared at them with gloomy eyes and said:
"You'd better pray that Lianyi and the child are okay, otherwise you will never leave this room again in your life."
"Prince."
Concubine Ruan then became scared and rushed over to hug the prince's thighs, but the prince kicked her hard, and she hit the edge of the table and fainted.
Concubine Liu on the side said tremblingly:
“Please spare my life, Crown Prince. It was Concubine Ruan who instigated me to not let the Crown Princess give birth to a child, otherwise there would be no place for us sisters to stand.
I was so distracted that I agreed to help pass on the message. The rest of you did nothing."
Concubine Liu admitted her mistake immediately, but it was of no use what she said. She was kicked to the ground by the prince and locked up with Concubine Ruan.
With a "clang", the door was closed and Concubine Liu collapsed to the ground. Only then did she feel scared. Killing the royal heirs was a serious crime and a behavior that the emperor would never tolerate.
Suddenly, Concubine Liu smelled blood. She turned her head sharply to look at the unconscious Concubine Ruan, and saw blood oozing out from under her body, dyeing her lotus pink palace dress red in a moment.
Concubine Liu looked at the dazzling red color with a playful smile on her lips. It had not been long since she stopped taking the contraceptive soup, but Ruan was pregnant. However, she was picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. She didn't know if she would regret scheming against the Crown Princess after she woke up.
Concubine Liu would not be so kind as to help the other party call for help, so she simply pretended to be fainted, pushed over a stool beside her, lay on the ground, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
When the palace maid came to deliver food in the evening, they discovered that something had happened to Concubine Ruan and Concubine Liu had also fainted. For a moment, the concubines' courtyard was in chaos and the news soon reached the ears of the crown prince.
Doctor Liang went to the Concubine Court again and brought back some bad news:
"Your Highness, Concubine Ruan had a miscarriage. She was only one month pregnant."
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
The prince was a little dazed and also a little upset. He had lost another child just like that.
What could Doctor Liang say? He just stood there with his head bowed and added:
"Because it was discovered too late, Concubine Ruan's miscarriage hurt her body and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future."
"Forget it, that was her fate. She made the mistake first, and the innocent child suffered for her."
The prince simply put the blame on Ruan with just two words.
"How is Ripple's health?"
This is his biggest concern now.
"The Crown Princess is very cooperative. The child has been saved. However, she will have to stay in bed for the next two months and keep herself in a good mood. It would be best if the Crown Prince could take some time to spend more time with her.
Pregnant women are more sensitive in the early stages of pregnancy, especially since the Crown Princess almost lost her child. I am afraid that the Crown Princess will be depressed, which is not good for the fetus either."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
The prince waved his hand and asked Doctor Liang to go down first. At least one child was saved, which was better than losing both.
Lianyi was drinking blood bird's nest porridge while listening to the latest news from Duoduo. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Concubine Ruan was pregnant.
"In the previous life, the Crown Princess was gone, and the Crown Prince lost his principal wife. The concubines must not get pregnant at this time, otherwise they will be scolded by those sour scholars in their memorials."
The stone mortar suddenly interrupted the conversation between the man and the plant.
"Master, Concubine Ruan's loss of her child has nothing to do with you. First, the prince kicked Concubine Ruan in the stomach and knocked her unconscious.
Then Concubine Liu, who was imprisoned in the same room, discovered something was wrong, but she did not shout out. Instead, she pretended to faint and got herself out.
If she had called for help in time, with the help of Dr. Liang, a gynecologist, maybe the baby could have been saved."
Duoduo said immediately.
"Who told you that?"
"The banyan bonsai tree in their house told me."
Duoduo immediately replied that this was her strong point.
"Poor kid."
Lianyi only wanted to deal with the two concubines who had plotted against her and did not want to hurt anyone else by mistake. It was just that this incident was too coincidental.
"Did that child go to reincarnate?"
This time Lianyi asked about Shijiu.
"what you up to?"
"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but he died because of me. Can you please send that unreincarnated child to my belly?"
"You already have twins, a boy and a girl, in your belly. If you add another one, you'll have triplets."
"It doesn't matter. They are all poor children who died in this palace."
Lian Yi said indifferently.
When she chose to marry the prince, she already had a preliminary plan. Even if it was Cuizhu's body, she didn't want him to be contaminated. But she had to have a child, so she used the method from the previous plane to give birth to those dead souls wandering in the world, which could be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
In order to increase her chances of becoming the Crown Princess, she chose to have twins again this time. The third child was just an accident.
"Okay, let me explain in advance that these children who died young were reincarnated through an irregular path, and they will cost you merits."
"I understand. Just do it."
"Got it. You'd better stop struggling and take good care of the fetus. Otherwise, these three poor children won't be able to be born smoothly."
Shijiu reminded.
"I know. As long as those people don't act like a jerk in front of me, I will be my Crown Princess obediently."
In the following days, Lianyi became the key protected person in the Eastern Palace. There were always four people around her, protecting her and the baby in her belly in all aspects.
"Bang!" A black jade paperweight fell to the ground, and a sinister voice reached the ears of the people kneeling below:
"waste!"
See you tomorrow, my dears~~
