"So Hanzhang Garden is even more terrifying than before." Xiangzhu sighed, then suddenly remembered something and said to Murun, "The Princess Consort also mentioned you."
"Mention me? Why would you mention me?" Mu Run wondered.
"In the end, you'll have to arrange someone for the prince's quarters anyway, so you might as well arrange your own. That's exactly what they're talking about, isn't it?"
Mu Run didn't respond to that, but took a bright yellow pear from the fruit plate on the table, which smelled sweet and fruity. "There's no tea, have some fruit."
"Don't be so polite with me." Xiangzhu took the pear and looked at her face. "It's not looking good. Why don't we get a doctor to come and take a look?"
"I'm fine, except for feeling a little dizzy, nothing else is wrong."
"Is she pregnant? The princess first felt dizzy, and then found out she was pregnant."
"..." Mu Run was speechless. "I've only been married for a few days, how could I be pregnant so quickly? It should take at least a month to find out."
Besides, her relationship with Shi Xuan was just an act, it wasn't real, so where would the child come from?
Hanzhang Garden.
Princess Yan, the wife of Prince Sheng, carefully trimmed the flower branches with scissors and placed them in a white jade porcelain vase.
A few steps away, on a needle board, knelt a pair of twin palace maids. They had been kneeling for almost an hour; their beautiful faces were deathly pale, and their knees were bleeding profusely, a truly pitiful sight.
"I am not such a narrow-minded person. As long as you serve the Prince well, I will certainly not mistreat you," Madam Yan said, glancing at their knees as if they were nothing.
"This servant will obey the Princess's instructions." The twin palace maids spoke in unison, their voices trembling.
Qitong rushed in from outside, "Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."
Madam Yan's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile. Then she looked at the two palace maids and said, "Get out of here! You dare to disturb the prince? You'll be expelled from the manor immediately."
"Yes, this servant wouldn't dare."
The two palace maids were immediately taken away by the other maids, along with the bloodstained needle board.
When Prince Sheng entered Hanzhang Garden, he saw the Princess waiting for him outside the gate with an expectant smile on her face.
But when Prince Sheng saw her, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. Looking at her belly, he frowned and said, "Come in with me."
Lady Yan left all the maids outside and followed Prince Sheng alone.
Soon, the sound of porcelain being smashed came from the room.
"Does Your Highness only have those two vixens in your heart? Why don't you ask your concubine?"
"Hmph! Don't you know how this child came to be? The fact that I didn't tell you to hit him is the greatest mercy I can show you. Don't expect anything more."
"This is also the prince's own flesh and blood, his own flesh and blood."
"Stop talking nonsense, where are those two?"
"Where... Hehe, doesn't Your Highness know? I've always been intolerant of any wrongdoing. I can even give up the maid who has served me since I was a child. What can't I do with two palace maids who have nothing to do with me?"
Prince Sheng's face immediately darkened, and he turned to leave.
Lady Yan stopped him, "Your Highness, you cannot leave!"
"Get out of the way!"
"I will not allow it!"
Prince Sheng shoved her away, shouting, "Jealous woman!"
The princess lost her balance and fell backward...
When Mu Run sent Xiangzhu on his long journey, he saw a steward rushing out, followed by other servants.
Xiangzhu's expression changed, and she quickly stopped a servant, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that she was someone from the princess's entourage, the servant said, "The princess has fallen!"
Mu Run's expression also changed slightly.
