Imperial Physician Yuan and Imperial Physician Yan rushed to the main hall and saw Qingyan clutching her stomach, her face pale with pain. They were worried that her anger had caused a change in her body, which was clearly directed at Qingyan.
"No need for formalities, let's take Xiao Guai's pulse first!" Yin waved his hand, instructing the two imperial physicians to quickly examine Xiao Guai.
After taking each other's pulses, the two exchanged a glance, realizing that the Fourth Princess Consort's pregnancy had indeed been fraught with difficulties.
"Fourth Master, let's find someone," Physician Yuan said, uttering five words.
Yin understood in his heart that his prediction was correct. The Jue Luo clan would not simply allow their two illegitimate daughters to become women in the Fourth Prince's household. According to the investigation, there was a legitimate daughter of similar age, and the Jue Luo clan exempted this legitimate daughter from the selection process.
"Su Peisheng, has your mother-in-law gone back?" When Jue Luo heard that her two concubine daughters had a problem, she took them to Fei Yanggu's courtyard to wait.
"Fourth Master, this servant will first give the Princess Consort acupuncture to prevent miscarriage. The inhalation time was not long, so it should not be a big problem!" Imperial Physician Yuan said helplessly.
The Fourth Prince's twins have attracted a lot of attention. Many people say that the Fourth Prince is blessed, as even the concubine's daughters in the Ulanara family are vying for their affections.
"Hmm." Yin held Qingyan while the imperial physician Yuan administered acupuncture. After watching Qingyan fall asleep, he placed her on the bed and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
He then turned and left with the imperial physicians. She woke up after sleeping for half an hour and found that only Su Lan was left in the room, so she quickly got up.
"Master, please lie down!" Su Lan heard the noise and quickly looked at the bed. Qing Yan had already sat up, wrapped in the quilt.
"Where's Sisi?" Qingyan felt weak and sore all over. She touched her abdomen and thankfully, the children were still there.
"Fourth Master is in Master's courtyard, and Madam is there too!" Su Lan dared not hide anything. Qing Yan's temper was somewhat unpredictable, so they would tell the truth.
Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then threw back the covers and said, "Have someone send me there!"
Jue Luo clan shouldn't make things difficult for her; these children are all her bloodline, so she shouldn't lay a hand on them.
After a cup of tea, Qingyan sat down next to Yin. The two girls brought by Jueluo had changed their clothes, and Jueluo looked at them with even more anger.
"Little darling, drink the pregnancy-preserving tea first!" Jue Luo Shi personally prepared the pregnancy-preserving tea, which can be seen as a mother's concern for her daughter.
She was somewhat flattered; why would her mother care about her so much?
"Lady Jueluo will be here soon, and your cousin might come too!" A cold smile appeared on Yin's lips, and Qingyan couldn't help but shiver.
Inside the hall, two concubine's daughters knelt on the blue bricks, their delicate faces devoid of color. Faced with this situation, they finally understood their legitimate mother's intentions.
The legitimate mother clearly saw them as cannon fodder; the legitimate sister was exempted from the selection process, and she came specifically for the Fourth Prince.
Qingyan had just regained consciousness and her mind was still not fully clear. The image of the cousin Yin had mentioned was still swirling in her mind.
From a young age, Fei Yanggu disliked her going to the old residence of the Jue Luo family; the two Ah Hun spent the most time there.
An hour later, a mother and daughter, both dressed in elaborate attire, entered. The younger one wore a bright pink palace dress, and her hair and face, following Qingyan's custom, were also somewhat plain. Her small face showed a worried expression. The older one had slightly red eyes. After entering, she bowed to Yin and Qingyan and then spoke.
"Sister, are the Fourth Princess's children alright? This is a very serious matter, as it could affect the pregnancy!" Lady Jue Luo didn't even glance at her illegitimate daughter. Qingyan sat in a chair, covered with a brocade quilt, her protruding belly not clearly visible.
"Yes, my sister's children will definitely be safe. The royal family values these twins very much!" The girl couldn't contain herself any longer. If she could catch the Fourth Prince's eye today, the position of Fourth Princess Consort would be hers. Even if those two children were born, they might not grow up safely.
Yin smiled coldly. If he didn't deal with the Jue Luo clan soon, he wouldn't be able to maintain his composure. Were these two here to cause trouble?
"Sister-in-law, why did you make your two illegitimate daughters wear bright red clothes?" Jue Luo was heartbroken. The repeated blows made it impossible for her to have any further ties with her maternal family.
"What?! How could I be so ignorant of etiquette as to let my illegitimate daughter wear bright red!" Lady Jue Luo immediately rejected the idea.
"Your mother, it was clearly you who sent it to us!" The concubine's daughter dared not take responsibility for harming the imperial heir; this was absolutely punishable by death.
The Jue Luo mother and daughter sensed something was wrong. Yin hadn't spoken, and he exuded a gloomy aura. Their worst fears had come true: the scheme had failed, and their two illegitimate daughters were no longer a shield.
"How could you frame my mother like this? She treated you the same way I treated her!" The legitimate daughter didn't want her mother to bear the blame, as Lady Jue Luo was no longer favored.
If it weren't for the fact that Ha Yi-hu, the legitimate daughter of the Gioro clan, was not beautiful and could bring considerable benefits to the Gioro clan, the head of the family would not have given the legitimate wife any face.
"How can you say such things about us? You didn't even participate in the selection, wasn't it all for the Fourth Prince?" The concubine's daughters understood that they had been abandoned. Ha Yi-hu had been valued by her father since childhood and had been given the best tutor in the family.
The word "哈宜唿" means graceful and charming.
The meaning of this Chinese phrase flashed through Qingyan's mind, and she couldn't help but look Ha Yihu up and down. Ha Yihu was only fifteen years old, but her figure was like that of a girl in her twenties. She was indeed graceful and charming.
"For the Fourth Prince! How could that be? I want to stay by my mother's side, unlike you all who, after being rejected, try to get close to men!" Ha Yi laughed coldly, her eyes revealing contempt.
Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder, which perfectly confirmed what Ha Yihe had said.
