Chapter 194 Cannon Fodder Lady's Counterattack 11
"Is the fetus in trouble? This is too much."
Aunt Liu said excitedly, "That's right. I heard that he discovered that the courtyard had been robbed, and he got so angry that he covered his stomach and cried out in pain."
"It's not just her courtyard that was robbed. I heard the prince's storehouse was also robbed. Now he's lying in bed cursing every day! I wonder who is so powerful that he could turn the entire palace upside down."
To be honest, she really admired that man. If she had this ability, she would have stolen the indenture contract early. Then she could be as free as a fish in the sea and as high as a bird in the sky. She would not need to suffer in this palace.
Alas~ Different people have different fates!
"Are you envious?"
Before she could finish her imagination, Luo Anliang's whirring voice echoed in her ears, startling her back to her senses immediately, "I dare not!"
Luo An didn't want to argue with her, so he immediately changed the subject, "You said that Tong had just gotten pregnant, and so many things happened in the mansion..."
Before Luo An finished speaking, the sensible Aunt Liu immediately got her point, and her old eyes flashed with a bright light, "The fate of the child in Tong's belly is unknown!"
Luo An glared and said disapprovingly, "Mammy, how can you say that? The child is innocent."
Nanny Liu disagreed in her heart. She said that there was no such thing as innocent children in the royal family. It was a matter of either you die or I die. It was too hypocritical to say this, but she did not dare to say what was in her heart and could only agree.
"Fu Jin is so kind, but it's a pity that those people outside are not like Fu Jin. They want to kill the little prince. I feel so unfair for Fu Jin and the little prince."
“Hey~”
Luo An sighed softly, and his teeth almost felt sore.
It can be said that its host has no conscience to some extent, but it doesn't have much conscience at all.
The most likely reason for him to act like this is that he is acting. It just so happens that there are people acting with him in such a bad play. Don’t you feel angry?
Nanny Liu's years in the palace were not in vain after all. She didn't care what Luo An said at all. After reporting the matter, she contacted the maids and servants in other courtyards.
"What? You said the child in Concubine Tong's belly is an ominous sign?"
"Have you heard? Concubine Tong is pregnant with a monster. Since he came, there has been no peace in the mansion."
"Have you heard? The prince didn't become like this because of an assassin's attack. It's all because of the monster in Tong's belly! It's a pity that we servants have been troubled by it and have a hard time."
......
Three people make a tiger, and people just follow the crowd. The words will change their meaning as they are passed around.
Xiao Heng was lying on the bed, and he always felt that the people serving him were often looking at him with slightly sympathetic eyes. He was a little confused about the situation for a while, but this did not prevent him from being angry.
Even if he can only lie in bed now, he is a prince after all. They are a bunch of dogs and slaves looking at him with such eyes. If this is not a sign of wanting to die, then what is this?
"Sword One."
"The servant is here."
A man in black suddenly appears in an empty room, which can scare people to death.
"What happened in the mansion recently?"
Jian Yi is Xiao Heng's secret guard. He is loyal to Xiao Heng all his life and is always aware of every move in the mansion. Seeing that Xiao Heng wants to know about the things in the mansion, he tells him everything he knows clearly.
But when talking about Tong, he paused for a few seconds, thinking about how to organize his words more appropriately.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Has Tong been restless recently?"
Jian Yi immediately shook his head, "Tong has been bedridden since her miscarriage and has never been out to join in the fun."
Seeing that Xiao Heng's eyes were still on him, Jian Yi thought for a moment and said, "There's a rumor circulating in the mansion recently. They say that the child in Tong's belly is an ominous thing..."
Sure enough, this one sentence successfully made Xiao Heng's face turn black.
Jian Yi immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Xiao Heng stared at the ground for a long time without saying anything. After a while, he said slowly, "What did they say?"
Jian Yi understood his temper and knew that these words meant that he should tell everything he knew, and this matter could not be blamed on him. So he repeated everything that the people in Tianfu said, but he only repeated it. He did not dare to speculate about his master's affairs.
Xiao Heng thought about it for as long as Jian Yi knelt on the ground.
He shouldn't have doubted it, but what everyone said made some sense. Calculating the dates, his bad luck and that child had arrived at the same time...
"Jian Yi, do you think what they said makes sense?"
Jian Yi really wanted to curse. Was this the question he should answer? They were the prince's woman and son. If his ideas were inconsistent with the prince's, would he still want to keep his head?
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense!"
No matter how Xiao Heng looked at him, Jian Yi never raised his head to meet his gaze.
"Forget it! Just do your own thing!"
Xiao Heng was angry, but he knew even more how much it would cost to train a Jian Yi. After his warehouse was robbed, he no longer had the money to train another Jian Yi.
Jian Yi disappeared immediately, and only when he returned to his dark little corner did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The group of brats below envied him, but they didn't know how difficult this job was, and they would die if they were not careful.
Although he left, Xiao Heng kept thinking about what had just happened. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Tong's child. Even if it was not an ominous creature, it would definitely not bring good luck to him, otherwise why would he have been lying in bed for more than two months and still not recovered.
Of course, the people around Tong also heard the rumor, but they only dared to tell a few words to those they were close to, for fear that someone would report it to Tong, and they would definitely be in trouble.
So Tong had no idea about the rumors outside, nor did she know that Xiao Heng began to dislike her, including the child in her belly, because of these words.
As for the statement that she would let her child become the crown prince, it was said, but it was not something that could not be taken back.
After three months, Xiao Heng's injuries were mostly healed, and Tong's pregnancy was stable. It happened that there was a banquet to report the incident in the palace, so Tong dressed up and went to find Xiao Heng.
"Your Majesty, I can finally come and see you. It's been so long since we last met. How is your injury healing?"
Tong left all the maids outside the door and wanted to attack Xiao Heng as soon as she entered. She had done this before, but she didn't expect that Xiao Heng quickly dodged before she could get close to him.
Tong's joy faded, replaced by disbelief. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Tong reached out and touched her face. Did she become ugly after getting pregnant?
That shouldn’t be the case! Before leaving the house, she carefully examined her face. Due to proper maintenance, her current condition was exactly the same as before she became pregnant!
Could it be that some vixen took advantage of the opportunity while I was protecting the fetus?
