Chapter 432 Protection
How could King Huai be in a good mood at this time?
In fact, the eunuch who delivered the letter did not dare to come over at this time, for fear that if King Huai got angry, he would be in trouble. However, since Concubine Yi had ordered it and he had always been doing it, he had no way to refuse.
King Huai didn't dare to read the letter in the palace. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to the palace, where the princess was waiting for him.
Yu was indeed waiting for Prince Huai to return. Prince Huai knew about Concubine Shun's affair, so naturally someone came to tell her.
King Huai paused when he looked at Yu. He knew what Yu was waiting for him here for. King Huai had been getting along with Yu for some time now and found that Yu was not the type to curry favor with others. She would not wait for him unless there was something important. What else could she be waiting for him today, other than her mother's matter?
He said, "You don't have to worry about mother's affairs. Father said that mother is ill and can't survive. You don't have to take care of her."
As a daughter-in-law, since Concubine Shun is ill, it is natural for her to go and take care of her. Yu was waiting for this to happen today, so naturally she wanted to ask about it.
Yu knew there was something hidden, but after hearing how serious the situation was and looking at King Huai, she couldn't say anything. That was the end of her relationship with King Huai.
Yu respectfully saw King Huai off and returned to her own room. She remained silent for a long while and suddenly felt a little tight in her chest.
I couldn't help but frown.
The nanny beside her looked at Yu and asked, "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Yu had lost her appetite these days, and now the incident with Concubine Shun had happened. Even if the palace didn't spread it, how could those who should know not know about it? This mother-in-law didn't like her at first, and it was a coincidence that she didn't like her either. Now that she didn't have to go to take care of the sick, it seemed that it was okay for Prince Huai to be unfilial.
It can be seen how much the emperor hated Concubine Shun, but at least Prince Huai was not implicated.
Since she married King Huai, she was tied to him anyway, so it was good that she didn't implicate King Huai. As for what happened to Concubine Shun, she didn't care.
"Let's ask the court doctor to come and take my pulse. I feel a little uncomfortable." She just needs to take care of herself. After all, King Huai doesn't need her care.
The palace doctor came immediately after hearing the call. Whether the princess was healthy or not was a big deal for the palace. He asked about the princess's condition and felt her pulse. He was delighted after feeling her pulse and knelt down in front of Yu: "Congratulations, princess, you are pregnant."
Yu was stunned for a moment, and then she was really happy, thinking that she was having a child, and the child came, she was really happy, but she was worried that Concubine Shun was "sick", so she didn't want to be too blatant, so she rewarded the palace doctor privately.
She thought: "Tell the prince this news, and then find him two concubines, who should be decent looking but honest."
King Huai has been married to her for more than half a year. King Huai originally had someone around him, but he was of low status. Now that she is pregnant, he still has to let two of his own people look after her.
It's okay to raise this concubine like this. Just give her contraceptive medicine until she gives birth to the child.
After Prince Huai returned to his room, he took out the letter from Chu Linglong.
He took a look and exhaled. Chu Linglong was in the harem, so she naturally knew about Concubine Xian's poisoning. When Concubine Shun's story came out, who in the harem could not see why Concubine Shun suddenly became terminally ill and was sealed off from the palace? He was not implicated, but Concubine Shun was his mother after all.
Chu Linglong did not shy away from the matter and talked about it in detail, emphasizing that the emperor was still protecting him. Although the matter was serious, as long as the emperor believed in his heart that he had nothing to do with it, then it would be fine. No one dared to discuss it. What she said afterwards made King Huai's heart beat faster.
Chu Linglong said that if Prince Huai wanted to take care of Concubine Shun privately, that was fine, but if he distanced himself too much from the relationship, it would seem that the mother-son relationship was weak.
To say that the mother-son relationship is weak is an understatement. It will make people feel that King Huai is too heartless. After all, she is his mother. Even if something happened to her, would you not even care about her? Someone will catch your small braid and accuse you of being unfilial.
Prince Huai understood Chu Linglong's meaning, and knew in his heart that he would have to have someone take care of Concubine Shun in private in the future. He was grateful to her in his heart, and knew that Xuanyuan Ling was protecting him, but since someone had said it out loud, it meant that everyone had seen it, and this made him feel more at ease.
When King Huai's mood improved a little, good news came from the princess.
He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would become a father, but after hearing it, he was still somewhat happy.
However, it is not a good time to publicize anything on this day. The princess's pregnancy came at the right time. With what happened to Concubine Shun, there must be something to make father happy.
If the princess's baby is a boy, he will be the emperor's eldest grandson.
There was happy event on King Huai's side, but Xiaoliu was hit by a bolt from the blue.
When he came back from the autumn hunt and Shen Qing searched the palace, he actually came back to rest. Later, he went to bed early at night and went to class as usual the next day. The servants around him didn't dare to say anything. The news from Zhaohua Palace was not to be known to Xiaoliu, so they naturally remained silent.
Today, Xiaoliu was planning to go to Zhaohua Palace right after class, but halfway there, he heard two servants saying, "I don't know how the Concubine Xian is doing. Is she poisoned? Is she really okay?"
Xiaoliu felt something was not right when he heard it, so he called the two servants over to ask them about it. His eyes immediately turned red and he ran towards Zhaohua Palace.
However, he didn't expect to run into Xuanyuan Ling, who was also going to Zhaohua Palace. When he saw Xiaoliu running towards Zhaohua Palace with red eyes, he was shocked and hurriedly called Xiaoliu over.
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Ling wondered if the child had heard some rumors, and glanced at the eunuch who was serving behind Xiaoliu.
The eunuch immediately told Xuanyuan Ling everything that had just happened. Xuanyuan Ling knew that Xiaoliu had indeed heard about it. The poisoning was fake, but it was not easy to tell others about it, so he could only say, "Mother's condition is not serious. She will be well soon. Father will go with you and you will know."
Xiao Liu looked at Xuanyuan Ling and pondered Xuanyuan Ling's words in his heart. He had seen mice that died of poisoning, and he knew that death was gone, so the moment he heard that Shen Qing was poisoned, he was really scared.
At his age, this was the first time he felt afraid of losing his mother.
Finally, he nodded.
Xuanyuan Ling was relieved. He pulled Xiao Liu down and looked at him again. Suddenly, he saw that his little face was stubborn. Suddenly, he said to Xiao Liu, "Mother was harmed by someone. Father has dealt with the bad guy, but your mother is still very scared. You must comfort her when you see her later, okay?"
Xiao Liu nodded, thinking that he would comfort her, but then he heard: "Who harmed mother?"
Xuanyuan Ling said, "This time it has been dealt with, but we don't know who will harm father in the future. Xiaoliu needs to grow up quickly. When the time comes, you must protect mother together with father. Don't let mother be harmed by others again, right?"
Xiao Liu nodded firmly when he heard this. At this moment, the father and son had already arrived at the gate of Zhaohua Palace. Xiao Liu looked at Xuanyuan Ling and said solemnly: "I will grow up quickly, and I will protect my mother!"
Xuanyuan Ling felt very pleased when he saw his appearance and rubbed his head. The father and son entered Zhaohua Palace together.
At this moment, Shen Qing was about to eat something when she saw a big and a small child coming over. Xuanyuan Ling saw her sitting and eating cakes and quickly walked up to her and picked her up, and pretended in front of her son: "You are not well yet, how can you come out to get some fresh air?"
