Chapter 218 Royal Heir
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Are you pregnant? !
The imperial physician’s expression, which was almost used to announcing good news and was trying hard to hold back, made Shen Tang feel his eyes go dark.
In her previous life, Chen Tang had been pregnant and knew what morning sickness felt like, but she had only felt nauseous for the first few days and it had not become so severe all of a sudden, so she only thought that Chen Xian had deliberately sabotaged the Marquis's Family Return Banquet and caused trouble for the Marquis's Mansion, but she never expected that she was actually pregnant.
But it hasn’t been long since Shen Xian got married…
Chen Tang asked, "How long?"
The imperial physician said, "It's still a short time since the pregnancy began, so the diagnosis is not very accurate. It should have been during the Queen's birthday banquet that she got pregnant."
Chen Xi's happy face turned pale quickly after she heard the imperial physician's words.
Chen Tang's heart also fell to the bottom.
This pregnant woman is most likely the son of Marquis Changping.
The green hat of the King of Qi is embedded in his head and cannot be taken off.
However, no one doubted the paleness of Shen Xi's face and the panic in her eyes. After all, it was normal for her to be in a bad mood after vomiting like this.
The Fourth Madam looked at Chen Tang, "Should we send someone to escort Princess Qi back, or should we send someone to report to the King of Qi first?"
The only person who came to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate today was Chen Xi, the King of Qi did not come.
Before Chen Tang could say anything, the imperial physician said, "It is better to report to the King of Qi. The Queen of Qi is having a miscarriage..."
The maid asked, "How could the fetus be disturbed?"
The imperial physician said, "Ying, he must have been angry..."
Chen Xian covered her belly and glared at Chen Tang, "If anything happens to the baby in my belly, you will be the one to blame."
Chen Tang laughed when he heard this. "You are angry because your father has a concubine and an illegitimate child, and your mother is angry. What does it have to do with me? Has anyone seen me angry with you?"
"you!"
Chen Xi was so angry that she wanted to vomit again.
Chen Tang just said a few words to Shen Xi in the garden, but no one heard them having a conflict, let alone at the banquet just now. Chen Tang didn't speak to Shen Xi at all. She was just rude at most, and the blame of making Princess Qi have a miscarriage could not be put on her.
The fourth wife said, "Help Princess Qi go to the side room to rest first, and wait for the King of Qi to come and pick her up."
At the banquet, the old lady was happy and talked and laughed with everyone.
The maid went in and said, "Madam, Princess Qi is pregnant..."
This is good news for everyone.
But the old lady's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. The maid continued, "The imperial physician said that the queen got pregnant on the day of her birthday banquet. She has been vomiting non-stop and has some miscarriage. The fourth wife has already sent someone to the Qi Wang Mansion to inform the Qi Wang."
The maid's voice was so loud that everyone at the tables in the room heard it.
If this were a normal situation, we would definitely congratulate the old lady, but now it's not right to congratulate, but it's also not right not to congratulate. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
The old lady felt very dizzy, she had not forgotten what Chen Tang told her about what Chen Xian had done.
The Prince of Changping took advantage of Chen Ying and was unwilling to take responsibility, so he wanted to push Chen Ying to the Prince of Jingyang. However, something went wrong and he was thrown to the Prince of Qi by the eldest prince.
It would be fine if Chen Xi was pregnant after marriage, but if it was at the Queen's birthday banquet, it could be the child of the Marquis of Changping's son.
Confusing the royal bloodline is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!
The old lady only felt a bloody taste in her throat.
She was still holding on, not daring to reveal the slightest bit of emotion. Mother Wang stepped forward and called the old lady. The old lady came to her senses and continued to invite everyone to sit down.
The news that Chen Ying was pregnant spread throughout the banquet like a gust of wind. When it reached the ears of the Prince of Changping, his hand that was picking up the food trembled.
The Queen conceived on her birthday...
Then there is a 90% chance that it is his.
That day, Chen Xi did not go to the Jokhang Temple, but went to the small courtyard where she had been before. When she was changing clothes, he couldn't help but have sex with her, and then he went into the palace to celebrate the queen's birthday.
But after that incident, he seemed to be sick and could no longer touch women, and no medicine worked.
I have seen more than a dozen doctors and taken a lot of medicine recently, but none of them worked.
Fortunately, although he has not married, he has had sex with many women. The child in Wang's eldest young lady's belly is his, so there will be no extinction. The child in Shen Xian's belly is also his...
It will be more secure.
I have two babies. I don’t believe I would be so unlucky to have both babies be girls.
However, both the aunt and the King of Qi were dissatisfied with Shen Ying. They felt that she could not provide any help to the King of Qi in his bid for the throne, and they would most likely not let her give birth to the baby in her belly.
The Prince of Changping was sitting there, his mind was full of thoughts. He didn't hear anyone toasting him with wine.
Everyone at the table looked at me and I looked at you, not daring to make a sound to disturb the Prince of Changping.
Recently, the Prince of Changping Marquis has been acting like he has taken the wrong medicine, with a bad temper. He hasn't been to brothels to look for girls or flirted with other girls for many days. He has been behaving like a different person, and is acting in a law-abiding manner. Is this lustful problem still possible? Isn't it said that it can't be changed even if you are buried in the ground?
They were all privately wondering if the Prince of Changping was threatened by the masked man, who would kill him if he flirted with the girl again, and he was frightened.
Well, as a follower of the Prince of Changping, he naturally knew that the person who was hung on the city wall that day was not the one who really injured the Prince of Changping. That person kicked the Prince of Changping down the hillside and broke one of his ribs, and he is still at large.
No one knew who it was, but they had caused trouble. The Marquis of Changping's mansion almost turned the capital upside down, but they still couldn't catch the person.
After a brief discussion about the Princess of Qi being pregnant, everyone calmed down and the banquet went on as usual.
Halfway through the banquet, the King of Qi, who received the news, came to the Marquis's Mansion in person to pick up Chen Xi.
But there was no joy on his face.
The King of Qi has no shortage of women who can give birth to his children. He doesn't even want Shen Ying, so it would be strange for him to value the child in Shen Ying's belly, especially since the child was conceived on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet. In the eyes of the King of Qi, this is a shame.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Chen Xian was after all the wife the emperor had married him to, and she was pregnant. More importantly, all the civil and military officials were in the Marquis Pingyuan's mansion. The Princess of Qi was pregnant, and he, the King of Qi, did not come to pick her up in person, which was too cold and indifferent.
What people say is scary.
The King of Qi has no choice but to come.
The King of Qi helped Chen Xi leave.
As she left, Chen Xian glanced at the Prince of Changping.
Originally, there was a 90% certainty that the Prince of Changping was his, and with just one glance, it was 100%.
Looking at the back of King Qi as he left, the Prince of Changping Marquis had no idea what he was thinking about. A delighted smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
…
The ancestral banquet lasted for an hour and a half before it ended.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, Shen Sui and the third and fourth masters saw the guests out of the house.
After everyone left, Chen Tang was exhausted.
Chen Tang wanted to go back to Qingyi Garden to rest, but was called away by the old lady.
Besides, there was no one else in the room. The old lady said in a trembling voice, "The child in Princess Qi's belly..."
Chen Tang knew that the old lady wanted to see her for this matter. She really didn't like the old lady to be in charge of these things. Who could the old lady control? Chen Xi and the second wife were in the mansion and couldn't control them, let alone now.
Even if Shen Xian is pregnant with the child of the Marquis of Changping, what can the old lady do? Can she abort the baby in Shen Xian's belly?
Chen Tang dismissed the old lady with just one sentence——
"Grandmother, plotting to murder the heir to the throne is a capital crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan."
