Chapter 263: Possible premature birth
Lord Sun had a face full of regret. Everything he did was for the family and for himself to be able to go one step further, but he didn't expect...
Sun Ruxiang looked at her father in disbelief: "Dad, I, I don't know anything!"
Hearing this, the light in Lord Sun's eyes dimmed even more.
He didn't expect that after the accident, his daughter would actually deny everything, but his daughter didn't think about it. At this point, how could the emperor let her go!
In fact, he knew from the beginning that what he did was unacceptable to the world.
If the emperor knew, he would definitely not have a good end, so he has been cautious all these years.
Including going out to collect butterflies, he also asked people who had nothing to do with him to collect them.
He didn't know why he was reported to the emperor. The girls who were killed were actually bought by him.
In a family like theirs, no one would pursue the matter if they beat a few servants to death. But when it comes to the emperor, it's a different story.
"Xiang'er, you..." Madam Sun looked at her daughter in disbelief. She didn't expect that her always pampered daughter would push the matter away at the critical moment.
At this time, she didn't expect her daughter to protect them, but she definitely didn't expect her daughter to be so ruthless.
Lord Sun looked at his wife and shook his head silently.
He had been tortured, and now even shaking his head was very uncomfortable, and his whole body was in pain.
But his meaning was very clear, asking his wife not to say anything.
The two of them had no way to survive, and it would be a good thing if his daughter could get away.
After all, this was his daughter who was raised with all her charm.
"Haha, it's true that the father is unkind and the son is unfilial?"
The emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand. Eunuch Wei had someone drag the imperial physician Wu over.
Lord Sun took a lot of effort to recognize him and his eyes widened in fear.
"Your Majesty, he..."
What else did the emperor not understand at this time? It turned out that this person knew about the affair between Sun Ruxiang and Imperial Physician Wu.
But for the sake of his future, he still sent Sun Ruxiang to the palace.
"Lord Sun, your good daughter, Sun Ruxiang, has entered the palace as a concubine and even been given the title of a lady, but she is still having an affair with Wu Xiong, hugging and kissing him, and was caught red-handed!"
Lord Sun felt a black screen before his eyes. He originally thought that the emperor was investigating her because he had killed a few girls.
But now he knew that his daughter had done something big without making a sound, and this would punish the entire clan!
Lord Sun stared at Sun Ruxiang with his eyes wide open.
Sun Ruxiang shook her head with tears in her eyes, sobbing: "I didn't, I didn't..."
She ran to the emperor's side, trying to grab the corner of the emperor's robe with both hands: "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I and Doctor Wu didn't..."
With a bang, the emperor raised his foot and kicked Sun Ruxiang.
Sun Ruxiang's body slid back several steps and fell to the ground.
Lord Sun closed his eyes in despair, and Madam Sun couldn't believe it. How could her daughter do such a stupid thing.
"Your Majesty, I, I am really innocent!" Sun Ruxiang was still shouting, and Eunuch Wei had someone come forward, blocked her mouth, and dragged her out.
"How shameless!" The emperor was stunned by Sun Ruxiang's shamelessness.
It is said that Miss Ruxiang died suddenly, Lord Sun was corrupt and accepted bribes, all the male relatives of the Sun family were executed, and all the women were exiled to the music school. Mrs.
Sun was heartbroken and died of illness that night. As for her other children, brothers and sisters, they all died suddenly for no apparent reason.
The same was true at the home of Doctor Wu.
Of course, Yuan Baobao didn't know about this news.
When she got home, she climbed onto the bed with a grunt. But Liu Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked her up and carefully put her on the bed.
The little girl laughed and said, "Mother, the baby is tired and wants to sleep!"
How could she not be tired? She didn't stay all day. Liu Jiaojiao also felt distressed when she saw this, and coaxed Yuan Baobao to go to sleep quickly.
Yuan Baobao slept contentedly. Fortunately, the emperor did not call her again later. She lived a happy life and could be with her beautiful sister whenever she had nothing to do.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Yuan Baobao was still half asleep when she was carried to the palace.
"Baby, wake up quickly?" Hearing her mother's gentle voice, Yuan Baobao opened her eyes reluctantly. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, the little girl's mind was still confused.
[Where did my mother take me? ]
[I was sleeping in the bed last night, and when I woke up, I was moved to a different place. ]
[Are you going to sell me? ]
Suddenly, I was hit on the buttocks. It didn't hurt, but it was extremely insulting.
[Oh my, my mother doesn't love me anymore. She even spanked my little butt!]
Liu Jiaojiao was very upset and quickly explained, "It was your grandfather who asked you to enter the palace. It seems that Concubine Chan is in bad condition!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Baobao's eyes widened.
Concubine Chan? I haven't heard of this name for a long time. I only know that she was locked up in the palace to recuperate, waiting for the baby in her belly to be born.
The emperor attached great importance to the child. I heard that he invited three imperial doctors to take turns.
Many concubines in the palace had opinions. The emperor hasn't doted on a woman so much for a long time. Some people also went directly to the imperial concubine.
Since the death of the queen, the imperial concubine has become the backbone of the palace.
"What's going on?" A dignified voice sounded. Yuan Baobao looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old lady with white hair and beard, with two maids beside her, carefully supporting her.
Half a step behind her, followed a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties.
The woman's face was as beautiful as a flower, and she was so beautiful that she could conquer the country. It was probably related to her age. The woman's figure was slightly fat, but she had a more round and smooth beauty.
The one who spoke was the old lady in the lead.
The emperor was the first to greet her: "Mother, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell your son when you came back? Your son went out to pick you up!"
Yuan Baobao's eyes widened in shock. The emperor called this old lady "mother". Could this be the legendary queen mother?
Didn't the queen mother go out to pray for blessings? It has been three years since she left. Unexpectedly, she came back all of a sudden. And the beautiful woman following her should be her father's mother, that is, her grandmother.
The queen mother looked around with a sharp look, and finally fell on Liu Jiaojiao.
"Princess Yi, you are pregnant. It's not auspicious here. You should go back and rest first!"
Liu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly, "Jiaojiao thank you, the great grandmother!"
[Is this the queen mother? She has a similar aura to the legendary old Buddha. ]
[Her eyes are so sharp, I feel scared at a glance! 】
【But the Queen Mother is very pretty. She must have been a very beautiful lady when she was young. 】
【This is also my great-grandmother. I wonder if she will like me? 】
