Chapter 113 Shadow of a Lifetime

It stands to reason that everyone should take a look at the baby in the swaddling clothes, but Nanny Li covered the child's face and body tightly, as if she was afraid that the timid concubines would have nightmares after seeing it.

Fenyun took two steps back, went around Nanny Li, and with the help of Queen Zhu's cover, she reached out to pull the little prince's swaddling clothes.

With a "swish", although Nanny Li reacted quickly and hugged the little prince tightly with both hands, the cloth above the swaddling clothes was still torn open.

When she saw the little prince's condition clearly, Fenyun was so scared that her face turned pale, and she screamed and fell backwards to the ground.

Then she reacted quickly, got up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, spare me, I didn't mean it."

All the concubines present saw it, but they all suppressed the scream in their throats and didn't shout out.

Concubine Shu... gave birth to a monster!

They all saw it, and Emperor Xuanwu naturally saw it too. The fatherly heart in his heart immediately disappeared, leaving only fear and anger.

"Wang Dequan, there is no need to bury him in the Prince's Tomb, just worship him in Sheng'an Temple."

Many wealthy families also have children who died young. In order for them to be reborn into a good family in the next life, parents usually cremate their children's bodies and place them in temples to enjoy incense and worship.

But the little prince is a royal flesh and blood after all. If he cannot be buried in the Prince's Tomb, it is equivalent to depriving him of his status as a prince.

Wang Dequan understood instantly. The emperor also felt that Concubine Shu had given birth to a monster. He was afraid that burying him in the Prince's Mausoleum would scare the other princes and the former crown prince who died young and were buried in the imperial mausoleum.

He was even more afraid that he would see such a "monster" in the underground a hundred years later.

Lian Xin was the only one in the audience who felt sorry for Concubine Shu. Everyone else felt unlucky, and they also felt that Concubine Shu was weird and scary.

In addition, after Concubine Shu was taken care of by the palace maids, Doctor Bai deliberately showed her ghost-like face. When Emperor Xuanwu saw her sweaty and sloppy appearance, he almost vomited in disgust.

Jiang Xinyue changed into a comfortable pajamas and lay on the bed. The cool mat under her was cooled by the palace maids with an ice basin. It was neither cold nor hot, and very comfortable.

Frost was fanning her, the breeze was gentle, and she almost fell asleep.

Noisy footsteps sounded, and soon disappeared. Jiang Xinyue opened her sparkling eyes: "Is Concubine Shu back?"

Xiaoxuanzi came in with a pregnancy-preserving medicine: "Your Majesty, the Emperor ordered people to carry Concubine Shu back to Kunning Palace."

He was a good man this time and didn't let Concubine Shu continue to poison her ears.

If Emperor Xuanwu felt sorry for Concubine Shu's body and didn't let her move around, and let her stay in Hexi Palace to recuperate, Jiang Xinyue could almost imagine how Concubine Shu would use the dangers of her own childbirth to scare her in the days to come.

If you are brave enough, you can get through it, but it will definitely increase your nervousness. If you are not brave enough, you may prefer to have a miscarriage rather than have one. It

may become a shadow for your whole life.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinyue is not a real woman from the Great Yan Dynasty, otherwise she will definitely be scared.

Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps at the door. Jiang Xinyue quickly poured the pregnancy-preserving medicine into the vase beside her, covered it with a thin layer of silk quilt, and pretended to fall asleep.

"Your servant comes to see the Empress."

"Where is Concubine Zhen? Was she frightened today?"

"To answer the Empress, she was very frightened. When the Emperor came, Concubine Zhen had fainted. The Emperor asked Imperial Physician Yan to prescribe a pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Our Concubine drank the medicine and fell asleep."

Although he said this, he had no intention of opening the door.

Concubine Liang was already holding back her anger, and when she saw this dog servant was still making excuses, she became furious.

"Pa!"

Jiang Chuan was stunned by the slap. He had served Concubine Zhen for more than a year and he had never been scolded, let alone slapped.

But he did not think that Concubine Liang's slap was undeserved because of Concubine Zhen's kindness. He was a servant, and it was normal for a servant to be beaten by his master.

Moreover, he had hindered the Empress several times and had long been prepared to be beaten.

He knelt on the ground and put his head on the ground: "Empress Liang, please calm down. The emperor specifically told us to take good care of Concubine Zhen and not let her work hard. I dare not disobey the emperor's wishes."

What's the point of showing off in front of a servant like him? If you

have the guts, go and talk to the emperor.

"You..."

The dog servant used the emperor to pressure her, and Concubine Liang became even angrier. But Jiang Chuan was kneeling, and she couldn't slap him again, so she could only kick him: "I'll spare you this time, you dog servant. If you dare to disrespect the empress next time, I will peel your skin off."

Jiang Chuan rolled on the ground and got up and knelt again.

Xi Que peeked through the crack of the door, her fists clenched, and she walked to Jiang Xinyue's bed and complained, "This Concubine Liang is too much. She usually calls our Concubine sister, and our Concubine is spoiled. But she is the first one to jump out and oppose our Concubine. What is she thinking?"

Shuangjiang replied, "What else can she think? Our Concubine can only live worse than her, not better than her!"

"Alright."

Seeing that it was almost time, Empress Zhu also had the steps to go down, so she pulled Concubine Liang and said, "Concubine Zhen is not feeling well, but she didn't mean to avoid seeing me. Don't make things difficult for the people below."

"Hypocritical!"

Xi Que said "Pah": "Why didn't you say this earlier? Why did you wait until Jiangchuan was beaten before you said it? She is the only one who can be a good person."

After Empress Zhu led everyone away, Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang came out from the inner room, pulled Jiangchuan to look left and right, and smelled the odor on his body.

Nanny Li's face changed drastically: "Hurry up and change this clothes, someone spilled something dirty on you."

It was non-toxic when it was smelled alone, but if it was mixed with the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Concubine Zhen drank, it would cause miscarriage.

Nanny Li had seen a lot of these vicious methods in the harem of the previous emperor, and she didn't expect that someone would use them on Concubine Zhen.

Jiangchuan quickly stepped back a few steps and walked away from the door before he dared to turn around and run back to his room to change clothes.

After everything was dealt with, Jiang Chuan came over with a big bump on his head, and Jiang Xinyue was upset again.

In front of Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang, she lost her temper: "No wonder Concubine Liang came to see me before and said something like the Emperor was going to make me a concubine. It seems that the Empress has already told her that she will be made Concubine Xian, so she dared to treat me like this. If she is really made the head of the four concubines, how can I live a good life?"

Xi Que knew that her queen was acting again, and immediately took over the role: "It is said that you should not hit people in the face. When Concubine Liang hit Jiang Chuan in the face, wasn't it hitting you, your queen? Your queen... The emperor dotes on you so much, can you tell the emperor not to make Concubine Liang the head of the four concubines? Even if it is Concubine De, it will be fine!"
