There was also an imperial decree to demote Shen Liangyuan and Wang Chenghui.
Shen was demoted from a Liangyuan to the lowest rank of Fengyi, and Wang was directly demoted to a commoner.
However, neither of them was able to stand up to receive the order. Thirty blows from the board almost broke their legs.
I lay in bed, not knowing when I would be able to recover.
When Wang woke up and heard the news, she vomited blood and fell into a coma again.
Such a big thing happened, not to mention the harem, even everyone in the previous dynasty knew about it.
In just two or three hours, everyone knew that Liang Yuan in the East Palace was pregnant.
A concubine who was promoted from a palace maid because she saved the prince became pregnant only two months after being canonized.
The old emperor was very happy. It seemed that the prince was not yet destined to have children, but was not childless.
As long as someone is happy, he won't have to worry about whether to depose the crown prince or not.
It’s a good thing that the prince has appointed Liangyuan as his concubine. It’s obvious that she is blessed.
The first time she saved the prince, and the second time she became pregnant with the prince's first child.
He likes such a blessed girl.
So he waved his hand, and a steady stream of rewards flowed into Tu Qingyu's warehouse.
In the palace outside the palace, several princes gathered together.
"How did you get pregnant?"
"Where on earth did this Liang Yuan come from? Why is she the only one who can't get pregnant?"
"Seeing that my father was considering deposing the crown prince, someone unexpectedly showed up. I really..."
"Everyone, don't be too anxious. It's just a pregnancy. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can give birth to the baby."
"Indeed, isn't the Emperor going to tour the capital soon? Then the Crown Prince can either stay behind to act as Regent, or he can go with us."
"If the Crown Prince doesn't go, and Father is not around, we can take action. If the Crown Prince goes, he will definitely not be at ease with this only pregnant child. We can take him with us when the time comes, and we can take action outside."
"Fifth brother, what you said makes sense. The most important thing for us is to keep things stable. The one who can be born will be the crown prince and the eldest son. If not, he will be nothing."
…
It was already evening when Tu Qingyu woke up again.
The rays of sunlight poured into the inner hall through the window, making the room golden.
What caught my eye was Jiang Jingchuan's handsome face.
She was dazed for a moment, then seemed to remember what had happened before, lowered her eyes, turned sideways, and pulled the quilt over her head, indicating that she didn't want to see him.
The moment she turned around, she still saw the surprise and the almost drowning tenderness in the prince's eyes.
The prince's feelings for her seemed to have taken a step further.
"Yu'er is finally awake." He reached out and gently pulled the quilt off her head. "If you don't wake up soon, your husband will be scared."
Tu Qingyu still didn't say anything. He leaned over and wanted to hug someone.
But I didn't expect that Tu Qingyu would struggle more fiercely this time than before, "Let me go! I don't want you to touch me!"
"Yu'er, don't be angry. I can explain the palace search." Jiang Jingchuan saw her waving her hands around and was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he had to let her go and stop moving.
"I won't listen." Tu Qingyu turned around, "Your Highness, there's no need to explain."
"I know you've been wronged. It's my fault for not protecting you and allowing them to reach out to you again and again. I'm sorry."
He leaned over, stared into her eyes, and said seriously, "Believe in your husband, this will never happen again."
She moved her mouth, and finally whispered with a choked voice: "You know I'm not angry about this."
Jiang Jingchuan: "I know, you are angry that I brought people to search your palace and I don't trust you."
"That eunuch publicly accused you of practicing witchcraft in the palace. I trust you, but others don't know your character."
"If I really insist on not investigating anything, I'm not helping you, I'm hurting you."
"There are too many people outside who are eyeing my position. They can't do anything to me, but they will take action against you."
Tears fell from the corners of Tu Qingyu's eyes. Although she agreed with what he said, she still felt wronged.
"At the beginning I said... well..."
Before she could finish her words, someone covered her mouth.
Jiang Jingchuan's expression didn't change at all, he was still very gentle, "I told you not to talk about the palace anymore."
Dabao: "My little master, he claims to have changed."
Tu Qingyu: "I noticed it. This is the difference between love and not love."
He coaxed softly, "If you don't tell me, I'll let you go, okay?"
Tu Qingyu blinked and let go of his hand, but the next second, she was hugged by him.
Still the familiar posture, the familiar breath.
Jiang Jingchuan placed his hand on Tu Qingyu's lower abdomen, "Yu'er, I have another good news to tell you."
"What?" She looked up in confusion.
"You're pregnant, with our first child." He rested his head on her shoulder. "Yu'er, thank you."
Tu Qingyu froze, "I, I'm pregnant?"
"What?" Jiang Jingchuan felt her stiffness, raised his head, and asked with a dark look in his eyes, "Don't you want to have my child?"
"No, no, I just think it's too sudden." She looked down at her belly, as if she didn't quite believe it.
She touched it and said, "How could I be pregnant so quickly? Could it be that the imperial physician made a mistake? The Crown Princess and the others have been pregnant for so long..."
Jiang Jingchuan obviously thought of this as well. Yes, there are so many people in the Eastern Palace, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant for so long.
His daughter Yu'er became pregnant as soon as she entered the palace.
It is truly a treasure given to him by God.
"Yu'er is blessed. You and I are the perfect match, which is why you got pregnant with my child so quickly."
Tu Qingyu didn't say anything else, just kept staring at her belly, then slowly smiled.
Jiang Jingchuan looked at the smile on her lips and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don’t get angry, as long as you don’t mention resigning, it’s fine.
As the first child, he was obviously very excited and had a lot to say to Tu Qingyu.
But before he could finish his words, someone came to report that the Prince's Groom and others were waiting for him in the main hall to discuss matters.
"Be well, I'll be back soon." After taking two steps, he came back and looked into her eyes seriously. "When the child is born, whether it's a boy or a girl, I will submit a memorial to confer the title of Liang Di on you."
Tu Qingyu lowered his head, showing no joy, and simply said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's the concubines or the concubines, as long as His Highness doesn't bring people to search the palace again."
"Otherwise, this East Palace would really be..." uninhabitable.
Jiang Jingchuan didn't say any more promises, but just reached out and rubbed the top of her head, then turned and left.
Afterwards, rewards flowed into Tu Qingyu's warehouse like water.
Dabao: "Master, this is too much money, isn't it?"
Tu Qingyu: "I'm in the palace, there's no use for these."
