Chapter 144: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (21)
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I made some Hibiscus Palace Cakes and sent one to Your Highness."
Huipin took the food box from the maid with a smile, hiding the resentment in her eyes:
"I have something private to say to you. Could you please ask everyone else to step aside for now?"
[This woman has bad intentions.] Friendly reminder from the system: [She is pregnant.]
Lucha blinked.
In the original plot, Yuan Ting stopped touching the concubines in the harem only after he met Luo Jinshuang.
In order to stay on the throne longer, maintain the image of a benevolent emperor and avoid being criticized, Yuan Ting pretended to hope for offspring, but actually ordered people to secretly give contraceptive drugs to the concubines who had slept with him.
Otherwise, how could the spices that Huipin had someone mix go undetected by the imperial physician?
Everything happened because of Yuan Ting's tacit consent.
But Huipin is pregnant now...
Oh no!
The male protagonist was cheated on!
Lu Cha raised his hand and called Lingying to his side. He whispered something and then returned to his normal voice: "Take the Prince Consort to the banquet."
Lingying nodded in agreement.
Xun Ji stood up obediently and moved his fingertips hanging in his sleeves slightly.
No one noticed that in the deep night, a black shadow quietly and silently fell into a tree near the octagonal pavilion.
Huipin walked into the pavilion and placed the food box on the stone table. She did not sit down, but with a gentle smile on her face, her words were sharp and sarcastic:
"Your Highness, I suggest that you don't come to the palace banquet in the future. You are a cripple, and it is very inconvenient for you to come in and out in a wheelchair."
"If you are disabled, you should stay in the mansion and recuperate."
Lu Cha remembered it silently.
Next time there is a boring palace banquet, use this reason to refuse!
Seeing that Lu Cha had no reaction, Huipin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Isn't it her biggest taboo to have people say these things? Why doesn't she whip me in anger?
Seeing the look from her maid, indicating that the emperor was approaching, Huipin gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, stepped back repeatedly, and shouted in panic:
"Your Highness, why are you pushing me?!"
"ah!"
Crash——
Huipin fell from the fence and fell into the pond outside the pavilion, splashing a large amount of water.
Lu Cha is disgusted.
It's so fake.
"Anping, you are so brave!" Yuan Ting came over quickly with his ministers and immediately ordered people to rescue Huipin who had fallen into the water. He angrily said to Lu Cha:
"As soon as the confinement was lifted, you killed the concubines. Do you still have me in your eyes?!"
The maid knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, please help my queen!"
"The Empress was kind enough to send palace cakes to the Princess, but His Highness not only humiliated her, but upon hearing that she was pregnant, he deliberately pushed her into the water!"
"?" Yuan Ting was stunned and frowned.
He had indeed visited Huipin in the past few months, but he had put contraceptive pills in her food. How could it be possible...
"What?! Concubine Hui is pregnant?!" Gu Shaofu was shocked and then knelt down:
"Your Majesty! The Princess is plotting to murder the heir to the throne!"
At this time, the palace maids had rescued Huipin, who had fallen into the water and pretended to be unconscious.
Glancing at the officials and their families, Yuan Ting suppressed his questioning and roaring, feigning anxiety: "Send Huipin back to Xuerou Palace! Call the imperial physician!"
He wants to know whether Huipin is pregnant or not!
"Anping! Come here too!"
Regardless of the outcome, perhaps he could take this opportunity to get the military token.
-
Xue Rou Palace.
Fearing that Yuan Ting would give Lu Cha a lenient punishment like last time, Gu Shaofu specially brought several ministers to wait outside.
Inside the hall.
Lu Cha ate palace cakes leisurely, watching the imperial doctors coming and going, taking the pulse of Huipin who was pretending to be unconscious, and a trace of evil flashed in his eyes.
I'm really looking forward to the male lead's reaction.
"Your Majesty, we are incompetent and failed to save Concubine Hui's child." The imperial doctors knelt down in fear.
Yuan Ting's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Huipin, you actually dared to commit adultery!
As luck would have it, Huipin "woke up" and touched her belly in disbelief: "My child... is gone?"
Thinking that Yuan Ting's gloomy eyes were because of Lu Cha, Huipin sat up crying and threw herself into his arms:
"I had intended to wait a few days, until three months had passed, before telling Your Majesty and giving you a surprise. Who could have imagined that the eldest princess would deliberately push her into the pond? Woohoo, Your Majesty, she's killed our child!"
Huipin couldn't help feeling proud.
A few months ago, she heard from her father that all the assassins sent to the Princess's Mansion never returned. Yuan Lucha must have known that they had murderous intentions and took precautions in advance.
Once the confinement was lifted, given the other party's personality, he would definitely come for revenge, so she came up with this plan and took action first.
Although it is crude and dangerous, it can completely defeat Yuan Lu Cha.
After all, as the emperor's firstborn, not only would it attract the attention of all officials, it would also make the emperor hate that bitch and stop shielding her!
She was looking for a man outside the palace and did not leave any clues. After her father knew the plan, he killed the man, so no one could find out!
Giving Lu Cha a vicious look while he was eating, Huipin cried even louder:
"Your Majesty! The eldest princess killed my child! And she feels no guilt or remorse at all! You must help me!"
Yuan Ting wanted to slap Huipin in the face.
However, he wanted to save face and was planning to use this incident to make a fuss. He could only suppress his overwhelming anger and disgust and gently pat Huipin on the back: "I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Anping! Not only did you act recklessly before, but now you dare to murder the heir to the throne! Do you acknowledge your guilt?!"
But at this moment, a eunuch trotted into the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the second daughter of Minister Luo's family is outside the hall asking to see you, and she has brought a doctor with her."
"What is she doing here?" Yuan Ting frowned in confusion.
"I let you have it." Lu Cha ate the last piece of palace cake slowly and leisurely.
"Empress Hui fell into the water and I was very worried, so I asked an old doctor to come and give her a thorough checkup."
Looking at Lu Cha sitting in the wheelchair, smiling and showing no sign of nervousness from beginning to end, Huipin felt inexplicably uneasy.
Why did she ask the miracle doctor to come?
