Chapter 401 Production
The maid replied, "The closest one is the Crown Princess's bedroom."
The Crown Prince: "Well, go and tell the Crown Princess."
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Crown Princess's palace. The Crown Princess had received the news and was waiting at the gate.
When she saw a few people, she hurriedly said, "Prince, Lord Pei, the palace has been cleaned up. Please take your wife in quickly." As she spoke, she glanced at Song Ci's face and belly, and there seemed to be pity in her eyes.
Pei Ji walked in a few steps, went to the bed, checked to make sure everything was alright, and then carefully put down the Song porcelain.
"Song Ci, can you hear me?" Pei Ji called.
In response to him, Song Ci's painful murmur was heard.
Pei Ji's eyes were moist, and a strong murderous intent burst out in his heart. He now wished he could chop Qiao Yun to death.
He turned around and resolutely walked out of the palace, telling Tian'er: "Take good care of the lady."
Tian'er nodded and cried, "Yes."
Immediately, he came to the prince and drew his sword. Everyone was shocked, and the princess immediately stood in front of the prince.
"Sir Pei, please talk nicely!" The Crown Princess said softly, her voice trembling a little.
The prince glanced at the thin figure of the Crown Princess with complicated eyes, then looked at Pei Ji.
"I know you're angry, and I'll definitely give you an explanation for this. But right now, I should take care of Song Ci first."
Pei Ji's emotions were in turmoil, anger and sadness swirling in his heart. After a while, he concealed the coldness in his eyes and said, "The prince said he would give us an explanation. We are waiting for your explanation."
As soon as Pei Ji left, the Crown Princess's face turned ugly, "This Lord Pei is too disrespectful."
He turned to look at the prince and said softly, "Prince, are you okay?"
The prince hummed, then suddenly asked, "Did you know about Qiao Liangyuan summoning Madam Pei today?"
The Crown Princess lowered her eyes, "I don't know. Otherwise, I would never allow her to do anything reckless."
The prince stared at her thoughtfully, then said after a while, "Since you are the Crown Princess, you must keep an eye on all the affairs of the Eastern Palace, no matter how big or small. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."
The Crown Princess spoke softly, "I understand."
After the prince finished speaking, he turned and walked in.
The Crown Princess raised her head, her eyes complicated. The maid beside her whispered, "Crown Princess, do you think the Crown Prince knows something?"
Changing from her previous gentle demeanor, the Crown Princess glanced at her coldly, "Speak nonsense, slap me in the face. This is also something you can talk nonsense about right now."
The maid shuddered with fear, knowing she had said something wrong, and raised her hand to slap him in the face, "It's my fault, I said something wrong, Crown Princess, please calm down."
After she had hit him about ten times, the Crown Princess finally spoke, "Alright, get off now. Don't let anyone see the wound on your face. I won't need you to serve me until I'm fully recovered."
The maidservant nodded repeatedly and retreated.
The palace maids around dared not even breathe.
She seemed to have recovered and put on a gentle expression as she walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw the prince facing her sideways, his eyes revealing anxious worry and painful struggle.
Such a look frightened the Crown Princess.
She vaguely guessed something, but couldn't believe it.
Perhaps he didn't want to believe it. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened to the crown prince of a country. Coveting the wife of a minister was truly absurd.
"Prince, how is Madam Pei?"
"The imperial physician and the midwife have already gone in, so we don't know yet." The prince said calmly with a normal expression.
If she hadn't seen it clearly just now, the Crown Princess would have thought she was mistaking her thoughts.
She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.
She was fully aware that Qiao Yun had invited Madam Pei to come. However, she did not want to stop Qiao Yun's foolish behavior. Qiao Yun had been too favored recently, and the prince would visit her half a month.
The Crown Princess felt a vague sense of crisis in her heart. Upon hearing the news, she asked someone to help Qiao Yun. Otherwise, she would definitely ask about the minister's wife being summoned in such a high-profile manner.
She raised her eyes to look into the inner room, but couldn't see what was happening through the screen. She could only hear a woman's screams of pain.
An emotion suddenly surged in her heart, why not let Song Ci die here.
After her death, if the child was still alive, the Crown Princess thought, she would treat the child well for the Crown Prince's secret feelings, but Song Ci could not live. Now the Crown Prince had dirty thoughts about Song Ci.
If he ever became emperor, who could disobey him? Then, the Song Dynasty porcelain he longed for might become his biggest obstacle.
The prince can favor anyone, but he cannot love anyone, absolutely not.
Her eyes were deep and she looked quietly into the house.
Pei Ji stood by the screen, ignoring the advice of the imperial physician and the midwife, and insisted on staying here. He witnessed with his own eyes as basins of blood were carried out. It was all Song Ci's blood, the blood of his beloved.
Will she be in pain after losing so much blood?
Pei Ji's mind was full of complicated thoughts, and he stood there stiffly like a statue.
Even when people around him called him a few times, he turned a deaf ear.
Tian'er: "Master, Master!!"
Pei Ji turned around suddenly and asked, "What happened to Madam?"
Tian'er cried out, "Madam has lost too much blood and is now unconscious. The baby hasn't come out yet. The midwife is also very scared and sent this servant out to ask the master, ask the master..."
"Ask the master whether to save the elder or the younger one."
Tian'er finished speaking and looked at Pei Ji nervously.
She thought that if Pei Ji wanted to protect her, she would protect his wife even at the cost of her own life.
There are only two of them here, and she will pretend to convey Pei Ji's intentions to save the lady first.
Under her gaze, Pei Ji quickly made a decision, "Save the lady."
Tian'er was stunned for a moment, and soon burst into tears of joy. "Okay, I understand." Then she quickly walked into the house.
He heard everything that was said through the screen. He suddenly laughed and murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "No wonder she likes you."
The Crown Princess was close by and vaguely heard a few words, and her face changed drastically.
"Prince, I will be the only one guarding here. I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is any news. Why don't you go back and rest first? It is unlucky for a woman to bleed during childbirth."
"It's okay, I'll wait here. She got into trouble because of my Liangyuan. If she's upset, I'll be upset too."
The Crown Princess could hardly hold back the smile on her face.
The prince, a person who attaches great importance to the rules of hierarchy, actually has to stay here and watch the minister's wife give birth.
He is the most old-fashioned person. He doesn't even care about the bad luck of seeing a woman's blood?
The prince really likes this Song Dynasty porcelain?
The Crown Princess thought in disbelief.
Soon, the midwife came out, her voice trembling with excitement, "Oh, where is Master Pei? Where is Master Pei?"
Pei Ji stepped forward stiffly and looked at the midwife.
