Starting from the next day, all the poems written by Prime Minister Wang in his early years were suddenly spread, and one of the poems even reflected that the current emperor's succession to the throne was not legitimate.
The disturbance lasted for several days, and Princess Changping's father came to the court and directly impeached Prime Minister Wang.
The emperor's early succession to the throne was not legitimate, so he was most annoyed when people brought up his past. However, he thought that this was the prime minister's early work, and it was normal for young people to act without thinking. After all, he knew the prime minister well, and he had no intention of rebelling.
But how could Empress Pei allow the Emperor to let him go so easily? She gathered a group of ministers in the court to impeach him, and finally put the entire Wang family into prison for being disloyal. However, since Wang Qingluo had already married the Crown Princess and was pregnant, others naturally did not dare to arrest her.
But how could Wang Qingluo feel good when she learned that her entire family had been arrested?
When Crown Prince Gu Tang came back, he saw her holding her belly in pain and breathing rapidly. He quickly went forward to pick up his wife and shouted, "Go find the imperial physician! Go find the imperial physician!"
Wang Qingluo still maintained her rationality at this time, "It's already dark now, the imperial doctors must have already returned to their respective residences. Qiu'er, Qiu'er made some medicine for me earlier, just ask the kitchen staff to bring it here."
The prince quickly agreed and ordered someone to get the medicine. He then shouted to the side, "Go get the medicine for the Crown Princess!"
The maid went there immediately after hearing this. He then asked the person standing nearby, "Why did the Crown Princess suddenly have a miscarriage?" The person standing nearby shuddered and dared not say anything. Wang Qingluo got up from the bed, grabbed the Crown Prince's sleeve and asked, "Is there something wrong with my father's family? Is everyone in my house locked up?"
The prince was speechless by her question, and turned around and scolded the servants, "How could you do such and such a thing? Didn't I order that the Crown Princess must not know about this?"
Wang Qingluo covered her belly and sneered, "The prince wants us mother and son, but these people want our lives." After experiencing so many assassinations, even the dumbest brain should have become more intelligent. The prince had clearly ordered not to tell her, but these people had the guts to come and tell her.
Even though she was worried about her father, she couldn't let these people who wanted to harm her live!
"Crown Princess, please spare my life. I just feel that I cannot hide this from you. I know my crime, I know my crime!" The palace maid who had just entered the room to report knelt down and kowtowed madly.
But looking at Wang Qingluo's pale and angry face, how could the prince forgive her? He was about to speak.
Wang Qingluo said, "The affairs of the inner palace of the East Palace should be handled by me, the Crown Princess." Since she said so, the Crown Prince did not speak. Then she said, "I was too lenient to you servants before. Now each of you wants to kill me and harm my child! If I don't treat you today, will you put a knife to my neck tomorrow?"
"Someone, drag her away and beat her to death with sticks!"
"Please spare me, Crown Princess. Please spare me, Crown Princess!" The maid struggled like crazy. If she had known that the Crown Princess, who was always kind, would punish her like this, she would never do such a thing.
"Hurry up!" the prince urged loudly.
The guard quickly carried the palace maid away. He looked at Wang Qingluo in his arms, who looked exhausted and tried to hold on, so he asked the servants to leave.
"Why do you have to be so angry and harm yourself? I will always protect you." The prince stroked her forehead with pity.
Wang Qingluo held her belly, "Now my family is all gone. If I don't stand up, will I be slaughtered? After all, you are the prince, and you can't always stay with me in the backyard." Wang Qingluo looked outside with a sad face, "The only person who can enter the East Palace and do such a thing is probably..."
Wang Qingluo didn't say it because she was afraid that the prince would think she was trying to sow discord between him and the queen.
No matter how close a couple they are, he and the Queen are, after all, biological mother and son.
"It's mother." The prince said it himself.
Wang Qingluo became more and more worried. She couldn't bear to see her father and mother die in prison. If that happened, she would rather die at that time. Thinking of this, she felt even more heartbroken and her abdomen began to ache.
The prince noticed her abnormality immediately and said, "Quick, where is the medicine? Where is the medicine the princess brought last time?"
"Your Highness, the medicine is here!"
The maid came running over with the medicine to Wang Qingluo and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I made this under my supervision. There is absolutely no problem." This maid was brought by Wang Qingluo as a dowry, so there was naturally no problem with her. The prince hurriedly took the medicine from her hand, blew it to cool it down a little, and then fed it to Wang Qingluo.
Physical illness can be cured by taking medicine, but mental illness is difficult to cure.
A few days later, the baby, who was originally well, suddenly had spotting. The imperial doctors in the palace came and said with a bitter face that there was nothing they could do. Wang Qingluo's people were getting thinner day by day. The prince did not dare to delay any longer and quickly asked someone to invite Shen Qingqiu over.
——
From the time Shen Qingqiu returned to Beijing to now, it has been another autumn.
The master of the East Palace was ill, the Crown Prince had no interest in romance, and many of the flowers and trees that had originally blossomed in the palace withered in an instant. Shen Qingqiu entered the East Palace, stepping on the fallen leaves.
Before I saw Wang Qingluo, I could already smell the strong odor of medicine.
She walked over and looked at Wang Qingluo's pale face, and just sighed softly. Wang Qingluo leaned in the prince's arms, tried to sit up, and smiled at Shen Qingqiu, "Qiu'er, you're here."
Shen Qingqiu still remembered the first time he met her, she came to his embroidery building with her teeth bared and claws bared to cause trouble, how bright and beautiful she was at that time? But time is really so powerful that it has carved the young girl back then into the decayed appearance she is now in just a few years? Shen Qingqiu knew Wang Qingluo's current situation very well, but he didn't feel her pulse, and just said to the prince who was watching him at the side: "I can't cure this disease either." Wang Qingluo's disease is a heart disease, and heart disease naturally needs to be cured with heart medicine.
The prince was stunned for a moment, and only said: "Is there no way?"
"Yes, tell her to be happy and stop thinking about these things and she will be fine without any medicine." She can cure a person's body, but she cannot cure his or her heart.
Wang Qingluo smiled bitterly. Her entire family was sent to jail because of her, and her mother-in-law wanted to harm her and her unborn child. She couldn't sleep at night, and she couldn't even force herself not to think about it.
Shen Qingqiu looked at Wang Qingluo's bitter smile, and even though he was anxious, he could do nothing.
She has a mental illness, so taking medicine is of course useless. Even if she is prescribed medicine, it can only be some medicine for nourishing the body, which will not help.
Before leaving, Shen Qingqiu looked at the prince with cold eyes, "Since Prince knows why she is upset, why don't you let her go?" Gu Tang was stunned.
Shen Qingqiu said: "She is just worried about her parents getting married and the baby in her belly. She can only wait for death in your Prince's Mansion. If she leaves here with me, maybe she can save her life."
Gu Tang was stunned for a moment, and did not refuse, nor did he agree directly, "Let me think about it carefully."
"Don't delay it too long." Shen Qingqiu said, then turned around and left the East Palace.
Perhaps it was because of seeing the current state of her old friend, Shen Qingqiu was in a bad mood after returning today. Jin Cai saw her like this and knew that it might be because the Crown Princess was not in good health and the girl was worried. But there was no way to persuade her, fortunately at this time Mother Chen came over.
"Girl, the lady said you should go there when you get back."
Shen Qingqiu nodded. It was getting late at night and it was tiring to comb her hair with a hairpin, so she asked Jin Cai to help her remove all her hair. Then she went to meet her mother with her hair loose.
The night was as dark as water, and Liu was getting ready for bed. Her long, satin-like hair was draped softly over her shoulders.
And the baby in the red jacket behind her was grabbing her long hair, and now she could even utter the word "mother". Shen Qingqiu looked at the warm scene in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're here." Liu looked up and saw her daughter coming.
Just as she was getting a little annoyed by her son's noise, she picked him up and stuffed him into Shen Qingqiu's arms, "Help me keep an eye on him." Then she took out her embroidery from the side. Shen Qingqiu asked while holding his brother, "What are you embroidering, mother?"
Liu said, "Since you're getting married soon, I have to sew something new for you."
“Why do you do this so late at night? It hurts your eyes.” Shen Qingqiu said, “It’s not like there’s nothing in the embroidery building.”
Liu glared at her and said, "How can you be careless about things for a girl's wedding? I will make them for you myself to feel at ease." Then Liu asked her daughter, "Didn't you meet Dao Yue today? What do you think of him?"
In fact, Liu was quite satisfied with the Dao family as a whole.
Although her family background was far inferior to that of the Marquis's Mansion, she did not care about it. What did birth matter? Dao Yue was a capable man and had become a fourth-rank military general at a young age. The Dao family also had a good family tradition.
Shen Qingqiu curled his lips and said, "As long as Daddy and Mommy are satisfied."
It's just a marriage to evade the emperor, so just deal with it.
Liu frowned when she heard this, "It's fine if we don't get married, but since we have to get married, there's no point in just coping with it." She looked at her daughter again, "Qiu'er, I know you're not settled yet, and you wouldn't understand anything if I asked you to get married now. Although there's nothing we can do now, mother also hopes that you'll be happy after you get married, and you won't marry someone you don't like."
Shen Qingqiu tilted his head. Like it?
"Do you like Dao Yue? Do you want to marry him?"
She thought about it and said, "It's okay." There are not many people she likes. Since she doesn't hate Dao Yue, that means she likes him.
"He's a nice guy, I'm willing to marry him." Anyway, there's no one else I want to marry, so what's wrong with marrying someone I like and solving the current crisis at the same time?
When Liu heard this, she felt relieved.
"I have already communicated with Dao Yue's mother, Qin, and she is very satisfied with you. I think Qin is indeed an easy-going person. If you have such a mother-in-law, you will be relaxed and comfortable in the future."
