Gu Qianxue's residence is Xuezhi Pavilion, located at the westernmost part of the East Palace.
Xuezhi Pavilion was a residence specially chosen by the Crown Prince for Gu Qianxue.
Xuezhi Pavilion is located next to the back mountain of the East Palace. The area is full of flowers and has a picturesque view, making it a great place for relaxation.
Gu Qianxue lost too much blood after giving birth to the prince and only gradually regained her senses three days after delivery.
She groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Granny Zhang, who had been sent by the Emperor.
Where is my son?
As soon as Gu Qianxue regained consciousness, she looked around in alarm, tugged at Granny Zhang's sleeve, and asked anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang, unlike her usual unruly nature, stepped forward obsequiously to offer her congratulations.
"Congratulations to the Crown Princess on the birth of your son and your promotion to the position of Empress!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianxue's heart tightened, and her indifferent eyes suddenly lit up.
She seemed somewhat skeptical of Granny Zhang's words and continued to press for answers.
"What did you say? What Crown Princess?"
"Because the Crown Princess gave birth to the Emperor's grandson, she made a great contribution to the royal family!"
The Crown Prince specially brought his grandson to the Emperor to request that you be elevated to the position of principal wife.
From now on, you and Crown Princess Li will both be Crown Princesses.
As Granny Zhang finished speaking, Gu Qianxue's heart pounded, and an irrepressible smile spread across her face.
"The Crown Prince has indeed not let me down! The Crown Prince has not let me down!"
"Yes! Now the Crown Princess only needs to rest well, and after her confinement period, she can go to see the Emperor's grandson."
"You can only see me after my confinement period is over? What do you mean by that?"
I am the mother of the imperial grandson, why must I wait until after my confinement period to see him?
Where is he now? What have you done to him?
Gu Qianxue felt tense, upon hearing that she wouldn't be able to see her son for another month.
A scene of brutal palace intrigue flashed through her mind, and she roared in anger.
"No! The baby was just born and can't leave me!"
Ignoring the pain in her lower abdomen, Gu Qianxue threw off the covers, put on her coat, and went outside to search.
In fact, it was the current empress who made this decision.
Since Gu Qianxue had already obtained the title of Crown Princess, the Empress was worried that General Chu would be unhappy.
The Empress secretly decided to temporarily entrust Gu Qianxue's child to Chu Li for care.
"You are the Crown Princess. From now on, you and Gu Qianxue will take good care of the Crown Prince and raise the imperial grandson."
Gu Qianxue is still recovering, so please take care of the child for her for now!
It's good to learn about childcare in advance, so I can definitely have many children for the prince in the future!
Chu Li was simple-minded and obedient to her elders. She took the baby from Granny Zhang and softly agreed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! I will take good care of the Imperial Grandson and not let Crown Princess Xue worry."
"Granny Zhang! Keep a close eye on Gu Qianxue and make sure she recovers well. Once she's out of confinement, we'll return the imperial grandson to her."
When Granny Zhang recalled the Empress's instructions, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After all, she was also a mother, but she had no choice but to obey the Empress's orders.
"Your Highness! You have just woken up and cannot leave your palace!"
"Don't worry! Crown Princess Li will help you take care of the imperial grandson!"
At Granny Zhang's command, the Imperial Guards surrounded Gu Qianxue.
"Your Highness, this is the Empress's order! Please forgive me!"
A chill ran down her spine, Gu Qianxue's eyes darkened, and her body went limp.
"How dare you use muscle relaxant powder on me?"
"Crown Princess, this is the Empress's intention."
As long as you behave well, we will definitely not make things difficult for you.
Don't worry! The effects of this cartilage-softening powder will wear off in an hour!
Gu Qianxue leaned weakly on Granny Zhang's shoulder, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Granny Zhang, since this is Her Majesty the Empress's decree, I don't want to make things difficult for you."
I just want to see it once, just once, okay?
Granny Zhang lowered her head, her gaze sweeping over Gu Qianxue's pale face, and felt a pang of pity.
"Good! After all, the Crown Princess is the birth mother of the imperial grandson. They are blood relatives and have a deep love for their child."
Granny Zhang wasn't heartless; since the Crown Princess wanted to see it, Granny Zhang granted her wish.
Xuezhi Pavilion is not far from the Crown Prince's bedroom, Zhi'en Hall, but Gu Qianxue is in poor health and should not travel too much.
"Someone, prepare a sedan chair for the Crown Princess."
Soon, Gu Qianxue and her entourage arrived at Zhi'en Hall.
Granny Zhang stepped forward and helped Gu Qianxue down from the sedan chair.
"Your Highness, let this old servant take you to see the imperial grandson!"
"good!"
The two slowly approached the window of the main room of Zhi'en Hall. There happened to be a window that was slightly open, leaving a gap through which one could peek into the room.
Gu Qianxue's heart tightened as she looked towards the window. Laughter and playful sounds drifted out from inside.
"Your Highness! Look! The little grandson is smiling at me!"
Chu Li nestled the baby in her arms, gently rocking his body while humming a beautiful tune.
The young prince seemed quite pleased with the action, and burst into laughter.
Then, a hint of softening appeared on Li Zhiyan's expression.
He must see you as his mother.
Upon hearing this, Chu Li looked at the baby in her arms, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes, and softly replied,
Yes! I am your mother!
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan seemed very happy and joined Chu Li in teasing the little prince.
Gu Qianxue stood by the window, watching the two people inside from afar, and a sharp pain shot through her heart.
Chu Li! I saved the Crown Prince, and I gave birth to the Imperial Grandson. What right do you have to be so close to him?
Chu Li, once I'm out of confinement, I'm going to take back everything that's rightfully mine.
Whether it's Li Zhiyan or the young imperial grandson.
