Chapter 79: Marriage Decree
In the Third Prince's Mansion, Chi Zhuoxu stood in front of Bai Qingyou's bed with a livid face.
"I told you not to go to the night market before, but you insisted on going. As a result, you lost the child. This is my eldest son."
He completely forgot that he himself had allowed it and put all the blame on Bai Qingyou.
Bai Qingyou had suffered a miscarriage and her face was as pale as paper. When she heard Chi Zhuoxu say that, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
"Your Highness, someone must have harmed our child. I am in good health, how could I have a miscarriage after going out?"
"You said someone was trying to harm you. Where's the evidence?"
Bai Qingyou pointed angrily at Concubine Zhang behind Chi Zhuoxu and said, "Tell me, is it you? You brought them to my yard last night and asked me to tell you about Qilin Street."
"Is it because of the musk on your body that caused my miscarriage?"
Concubine Zhang knelt down and cried to Chi Zhuoxu, "Your Highness, I am innocent. I haven't been out for several years since I came to the mansion. I want to hear Sister Bai talk about the grand scene of the night market. How could I harm her child?"
"Musk is such a precious spice, and I cannot even touch it."
"If Sister Bai doesn't believe me, you can check the pharmacy in the mansion and the mansion's purchase records."
Concubine Zhang was so sure in what she said, and she didn't seem guilty at all, that Bai Qingyou almost believed it.
But she believed in her intuition more and believed that they must have harmed her.
The other concubines all said almost the same thing, crying out that they were wronged.
Bai Qingyou wished she could kill them all. It was these bitches who had harmed her child.
That child is the foundation of her life.
They are so cruel. They cut off the source of her trouble. She won't be able to become a concubine in a short time.
If her father hadn't been there, they would have stepped on her head.
She hates it so much!
Without evidence, she couldn't do anything to these concubines and could only shed tears to Chi Zhuoxu.
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me."
Her eyes were wet with tears and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, which made people feel pity for her.
Chi Zhuoxu was angry just now, but now he softened his heart.
After all, she was pregnant with his child. He sat down beside the bed, half hugged her, and comforted her silently.
"My poor child..."
“Wuwuwu…”
Although the crying was not heart-wrenching, it made people cry.
Concubine Zhang and the others also wiped their eyes with handkerchiefs, seeming to feel the same way.
The imperial physician next to him checked the entire room but found no clues and shook his head at him.
Chi Zhuoxu believed that these concubines did not have the courage to do so.
So he said, "Qingyou, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods."
What this means is that there is no evidence.
Bai Qingyou secretly hated herself, thinking that those bitches must have destroyed all the evidence in advance. It was a pity that she was in such unbearable abdominal pain that she didn't have time to discover anything.
"Your Highness? This is our first child! He left before he even had a chance to see this world."
"My child, how can I not feel sorry for you? But the imperial physician also said that you got this because of a cold."
"Take good care of him, we will have children in the future."
Bai Qingyou was sad about losing her child, but Chi Zhuoxu's words were like a knife, piercing her heart.
What does it mean to have children in the future?
Was her child harmed in vain?
Your Highness doesn't believe her!
Concubine Zhang also took the opportunity to say, "I have also heard from the older maids that a woman's pregnancy is extremely unstable in the first three months and she needs to rest and take care of the baby. Qilin Street was full of people last night. Did Sister get hit by something?"
Chi Zhuoxu's patience with Bai Qingyou was indeed almost non-existent. She was fine at first, but he insisted on going out. Whether she was bumped or caught a cold, it was all her fault.
Originally, if she could give birth to a child, it would increase his chances of becoming the crown prince, and he could also make her a concubine, making Prime Minister Bai even more devoted to him.
Kill three birds with one stone.
As a result, her ignorance caused her to suffer great losses.
"Your Highness, believe me, someone must have murdered him."
If we don't investigate now, we will never find evidence in the future.
Bai Qingyou secretly swore in his heart that he must avenge himself and his child and let Chi Zhuoxu open his eyes and see what vicious people his concubines were.
"What you said is all lies, just take a rest."
Chi Zhuoxu stood up and prepared to leave.
He was also upset now and was in no mood to coax a woman.
Bai Qingyou was about to say something when Eunuch Changlin, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion, ran in.
"Your Highness, an imperial decree has arrived."
Chi Zhuoxu was shocked. How could there be an imperial edict at this time?
However, since it is not a festival, there should be no rewards.
Could it be that...he is going to be made the crown prince?
Long live father!
"Changlin, hurry up, light the incense and set up the case, and prepare to receive the decree."
He strode happily towards the front yard, his heart filled with ecstasy, and his steps became faster and faster.
Seeing Chi Zhuoxu's joy, the concubines were extremely happy.
This is definitely a good thing. If His Highness gets a reward, he will definitely reward them.
He ignored Bai Qingyou and took people to inquire about the news.
Bai Qingyou was no longer able to care about being sad, and quickly asked the maid to go to the front yard to find out the news.
forecourt
The one who came to announce the decree was the emperor's personal eunuch, General Shengde.
When he saw Chi Zhuoxu coming, he swung his whisk and said, "Third Prince, accept the order."
Chi Zhuoxu and his group knelt respectfully on the ground.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Feng Jingshu, the legitimate granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's House, is gentle, virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, and is specially granted as the principal wife of the Third Prince. Gao Xinyao, the daughter of Jingzhao Yin Gao Zhao, is both virtuous and beautiful, and has a kind disposition, and is specially granted as the Third Prince's concubine. The marriage will be completed in ten days. I decree this!"
Chi Zhuoxu was confused. Why was the marriage granted suddenly?
Why didn't her mother inform her?
Grand Tutor Feng is about to retire, and his grandfather took over the position of Prime Minister many years ago. What use can his granddaughter be?
And there is Gao Zhao, he is my grandfather’s man.
What does my father mean by giving him two women who can't help him at all?
He was so shocked that he even forgot to receive the order.
Chief Steward Shengde was displeased: "Does the Third Prince intend to disobey the Emperor's order?"
"I dare not. I accept your order and thank you!"
He hurriedly accepted the order, sent Eunuch Shengde away, and then went in to discuss with Concubine Yun.
When the concubines heard the news, they were all heartbroken.
Originally, there was no mistress in the Third Prince's Mansion. Except for the conflicts between the concubines when they racked their brains to compete for favor, they were all concubines, and no one was nobler than the other.
They lived a good life. They slept until noon every day. Chi Zhuoxu was generous with what they wanted to eat, and the kitchen would not make things difficult for them.
No one made them follow the rules, and no one tortured them.
But now they have a principal wife and a concubine at the same time. Will they still have a good life in the future?
I was so sad that I couldn't help but cry.
I was just thinking about the reward. It would be great if I could keep my life in the future.
After hearing this, Bai Qingyou couldn't breathe and fainted.
Her position as concubine!
......
Harem, Yeonbokgung Palace
Concubine Yun was having a tantrum and there were broken pieces of porcelain all over the floor.
Chi Zhuoxu stepped over the threshold at this time and was almost injured by mistake.
"Mother!"
