When the prince saw Lianyi, she was leaning on the bed, and Lanzhi was carefully feeding her ginseng soup.
When Lian Yi saw the prince, her eyes turned red and she choked up and said:
"Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again."
The prince immediately took two steps forward, sat down beside the bed, held Lianyi in his arms, and said lovingly:
"Don't talk nonsense. Isn't this all right? You can't say something so unlucky."
He was very satisfied with the fact that Lianyi gave birth to three children in a row for him. In this respect, he was far ahead of his other brothers.
"Your Highness, you don't know that I fainted after seeing the last child, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the dim light, a beam of light attracted me and asked me to follow.
Just as I was about to step over the closed door, I suddenly heard His Highness calling me. When I turned around, I saw His Highness holding three children and telling me to come back quickly.
I finally reacted and ran towards His Highness, but His Highness turned and left. I couldn't keep up with His Highness, so I woke up in a hurry."
Lianyi leaned in the prince's arms, wiping her tears with a handkerchief as she spoke.
The prince listened carefully, patted Lianyi's back, and comforted her softly:
"It seems that Lianyi was worried, so she escaped."
"Of course, I only have Your Highness in my heart. Now with the three children, I can't do without anyone."
Lianyi immediately said in a delicate voice.
"Okay, the most important thing for you now is not to worry too much. Relax your mind. The most important thing now is to take good care of your health."
The prince said sincerely.
"I understand. When I recover, I will bring the children back."
Lian Yi immediately said with a smile.
This time the prince hesitated for a moment, obviously not wanting to take the three children back, but he didn't say it now.
Lianyi naturally saw it, but she didn't expose it. This bastard didn't want the child to be close to her. But there was no rush now. She would wait until she "recovered her health". She had plenty of ways to take the child back.
After the prince had communicated with Lianyi about his feelings, he left in a hurry. He still had to deal with those who plotted against the crown princess. If he didn't take this opportunity to skin his second and third brothers, his title of prince would be in vain.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Second Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion was very low. This was because their plans had failed, and now the Crown Prince had given birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson before them, which was even more disadvantageous to them.
The two of them each arranged people to take action, but neither succeeded. Now that the people have been caught, they are in a passive position.
They are not worried that the person who did it will implicate them. People who can do such things must keep their mouths shut, and their weak points are in their hands, so they will not and dare not implicate them. However, since the incident has already happened, it is inevitable that someone will turn their attention to them.
After all, if something happened to the prince's offspring, the result would be in their best interest, so they decided to keep a low profile recently.
Although the emperor is old, he has experienced the struggle for the throne. Although there is no evidence pointing to his other two adult sons, even a fool can understand what is going on.
So for the next period of time, the second prince and the third prince were reprimanded by the emperor in court, and he was almost scolded.
The emperor's partiality made the previous fence-sitters involuntarily tend to favor the prince. After all, the prince was the legitimate heir to the throne.
Now the Crown Princess has given birth to three children in succession and her position is secure. Behind her is General Meng at the border, who holds the military power. As long as the Qiang Wolf tribe is unwilling to give up their evil intentions, the Emperor will not take back the military power from General Meng.
This became the prince's capital and backing. Now the child became the bond between the two families. Even if not for his daughter, for his grandson, General Meng would stand on the prince's side. The situation in the court suddenly became clear.
The Defei and Liangfei in the harem were also deliberately ignored by the emperor. They didn't even have the chance to plead for their sons. The two were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they could only lower their posture and pay their respects to the queen every day.
Although the Queen was secretly happy in her heart, she remained expressionless. It was the same as before. Defei and Liangfei brought the topic to the prince several times, but the Queen simply ignored them.
Defei and Liangfei were indignant and anxious, and when they spoke bluntly, the empress ignored them and said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs." Then she held her head and cried about a headache, and sent away all the people who came to pay their respects.
After two such incidents, the two imperial concubines realized that they had made a mistake and could only stop their actions temporarily, but they had no way to vent their resentment.
Because Lianyi was "injured" during childbirth, she had been recuperating in the Eastern Palace and was exempted from daily greetings by the Queen. In addition, there were some turbulence in the court during this period, so the Queen exempted all concubines from paying respects on the grounds that she had to take care of the emperor's grandson and only met with these people on the first and fifteenth of each month.
The harem became quiet for a while, and seemed to have regained its former peace and tranquility. However, even the palace maids and eunuchs became more cautious, and the ladies in the harem also felt the undercurrent surging beneath the calm surface.
Lianyi had Duoduo with her, so she never allowed people around her to inquire about the news in the palace. As for the news that others deliberately leaked to the palace maids and wet nurses around her, she just treated it as a joke and did not make any comment.
"Crown Princess, I feel that there have been some changes in the palace recently. The number of patrolling Royal Guards has increased significantly, especially in the East Palace."
Nanny Sun couldn't help but say to Lianyi.
Although she had been guarding the back house, it was after all a military general's residence, so she was quite sensitive to the transfer of some soldiers.
Lianyi was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that the old nanny sent by the Meng family to monitor her actually had some knowledge.
"Madame Sun, this is the East Palace, where the Crown Prince lives. It should be the safest place. I am not feeling well right now, so you just need to take good care of me. Don't ask any other questions."
Ripple said calmly.
"Yes, I've made note of it."
Nanny Sun bowed her head and said respectfully.
That night, Tornado, who had visited the three children, jumped into the window and brought Lianyi an unexpected news.
"Master, the three children are all fine, but you will be unwell in two days."
Tornado licked his paws, shook his whiskers and said.
"What did you hear? What do the Queen and the Crown Prince want to do?"
Lianyi was soaking in a medicinal bath and asked directly without even opening her eyes.
"The second and third princes saw that the old emperor was biased towards the crown prince. Now that the crown prince has three children, his position is even more unshakable. They are ready to make one last attempt. Otherwise, when the crown prince ascends the throne, they will have no chance at all."
"Are they planning to force the emperor to abdicate?"
Ripple said affirmatively.
"Yes, and they are using a two-pronged approach. Not only are they forcing the old emperor to abdicate, they are also planning to kill the crown prince. You and your three children are also on their kill list."
"The prince knows everything?"
"Yes, and he plans to take advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne as soon as possible."
