Chapter 1165: Strange

Xue Han motioned the maids to go down, and then she told them what happened in the palace today, "Today, the Crown Princess brought two concubines into the palace. Everything was fine, but Concubine Ran's skirt was stained with blood. The imperial physician found out from her pulse that the baby was gone, and he also smelled the scent of musk on Concubine Ran's handkerchief."

Bamboo orchid, "."

It was indeed a big drama. Nothing happened in the emperor's harem, and the prince hasn't even ascended the throne yet, but the drama has already begun.

Xue Han's face turned pale, and she continued, "There were some ladies at the time. It was originally a conspiracy in the backyard that was exposed in front of everyone, and the Queen was furious at the time."

Zhulan understood. How could she not be angry? The prince's backyard had always been stable. Now something happened. The queen must be furious. The harem was not stable. How did the previous dynasty view the prince? Although the struggles in the backyard had been going on and several princes had done many dirty things in their backyards, they had never embarrassed themselves in front of others.

Xue Han whispered, "The Empress and other ladies had all left, and she got angry at the Crown Princess on the spot. Managing the backyard is the Crown Princess' job, so she was punished."

Zhulan said, "The punishment is not light."

Xue Han, "How did mother know?"

"For the sake of the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess's punishment will not be light. However, I don't think the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion would be so stupid."

However, stupid or not, someone has to take the blame, and the Crown Princess is the best candidate.

Xue Han and Rong Chuan were the only two of them. Some concubines in the Ning Marquis's Mansion could not come in front of Xue Han. Xue Han had seen filth, but not much. However, Xue Han also had a brain. After calming down, she thought, "It is indeed strange. There are many children in the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and Concubine Ran is not favored. Who is stupid enough to attack Concubine Ran at such a critical moment?"

Zhu Lan had some thoughts in her mind, "Just tell me about it, but don't discuss it with the Song family and others."

Xue Han said, "Mom, your daughter knows what's going on, so I can only tell you."

But she was puzzled. At that time, the Duchess, Marquis and others in the palace had all left, but the Queen did not let her leave. To be honest, she really did not want to stay.

In the palace, the emperor and the prince sat opposite each other. Seeing his father's expressionless face, the prince said, "I have beaten the backyard hard last time. This is strange."

The emperor thought his son was cruel. His son said that he had beaten him severely, and he must have beaten him severely. "Go back and check the backyard carefully."

The Emperor even sent secret guards to investigate the Prince's backyard. This really irritated the Emperor. He thought he had cleaned it up completely, but he didn't expect there were still some omissions. He just didn't know why they suddenly took action again.

The Queen teased Lin Xi, and said to the Crown Princess who was still kneeling, "Not only did I punish you for not controlling the Crown Prince's backyard, but you are also confused. Go back and calm down."

The Crown Princess was very smart and knew that her mother was using today's incident to give her some advice. "Thank you for your advice, mother."

When the Queen saw the Crown Princess slowly walk out, she couldn't help but say one more sentence, "I know my son well. Once you cross his bottom line, he won't show any mercy."

The emperor educated the prince very well, but too well. The more perfect a person is, the less he can tolerate his own people making mistakes, especially big mistakes.

The Crown Princess took every word to heart. Her heart was indeed confused and she was no longer as calm as before. She had listened too much to her family members. The Crown Prince was in charge of the government, and she was like the mistress of the world, accepting visits and flattery from the ladies of honor.

The Crown Princess thought, having touched power and experienced the taste of power, it really makes people reluctant to let go, it is too wonderful.

The queen hugged her granddaughter and kissed her, "Little Linxi, you must find a husband who will love you wholeheartedly in the future. He must be the best."

The Empress did not want to think too much about the Crown Princess. She was also tired and was just waiting to become the Empress Dowager. The Emperor said that he would take her around to see the world and fulfill his original promise.

With a cheerful laugh, the queen looked at the boy in the maid's arms, and finally sighed.

The next day, Zhulan met Qi. Qi's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had cried a lot yesterday. Zhulan asked, "Didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion today?"

Qi's voice was a bit nasal, "No, the concubine sent a letter saying that everything is fine."

Zhulan understood that no one was allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion. "Don't worry, Concubine Ran has always been aware of this."

Qi, "I have lived a good life in the past two years. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?"

The King of Chu has calmed down, and Qi's life is indeed good. Zhulan doesn't know how to comfort her, especially since the child who is missing may be a boy. The prince is also important to the Ran family. Even if the Ran family has no ambitions, with the support of the prince, the Ran family has roots.

Qi said again: "The concubine is just kind-hearted. I had a nightmare last night."

She dreamed that the concubine was plotted against in the harem and was banished to the cold palace. She was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep all night. She told her husband about it, but he said she was worrying for nothing. She wanted to go and see the concubine but couldn't enter the Prince's Mansion. In the end, she could only come to talk to Yang, but she didn't dare to say much.

Zhulan, "You should be more relaxed. If you behave like this, your concubine will miss you."

Qi was not in a very good mood, and her husband was not in a good mood either. If the child was still alive, forget it, he was gone, and there was no point in thinking about it now.

Zhulan talked to Qi for a while, and Qi calmed down a lot. "Mingyun is also old enough to get married. When do you think we can set a date?"

Zhulan calculated her grandson's age. He is only fifteen this year. "He is still young. There is no rush to wait for two years."

Qi was delighted when she thought of her granddaughter. Zhou Mingyun was not only outstanding, but she would also have a noble title in the future. "She is not young anymore. She was my grandfather back then."

Qi was speechless. Her husband was quite old when he married her.

Zhulan was happy, "There is really no rush. We are waiting for the house to be repaired before moving in. How about I discuss it with you?"

Qi was delighted, "Yes, you still want to move. Okay, I'll listen to you."

After a few days, no one dared to talk about the Prince's Mansion anymore, and even the Ran family stopped worrying about the child.

In Zhoujia Village, the Zhou family's ancestor worship ceremony was over, and Li was also packing her luggage to return to Beijing.

Li was packing her luggage when she heard from her mother-in-law that her sister-in-law's elder sister had arrived. She hurriedly invited her in. Li was very enthusiastic and said, "Big sister, please sit wherever you want. It's a bit messy now. I'll ask them to clean up quickly."

Dong Yiyi looked at the luggage and said, "This must have been prepared by Uncle Li!"

Li smiled and said, "Yes, my parents were afraid that we wouldn't be able to eat the best delicacies in the capital, so they packed some extra for me."

Li was the happiest person when she returned home this time. Her mentality had long since changed from returning to her parents' home for the purpose of showing off to enjoying the atmosphere of her parents' home. She was very happy during the few days she was back home.

The maids and servants packed up quickly and moved the luggage out of the living room. Li said, "Big sister, is there anything you want me to bring to my younger sister-in-law?"
