Chapter 107 Gao's Production
"I am giving orders, not discussing this with you, Concubine Yun. Are you still planning to disobey my orders?"
The emperor stared at Concubine Yun coldly, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty.
Concubine Yun's body stiffened instantly, as if suppressed by an invisible force, and her originally confused mind became a little clearer.
However, Concubine Yun was still unwilling to give up. She choked up and said, "But Yueya hasn't confessed yet. What if Prince Xuan really did this? If we release Princess Xuan, won't she have the opportunity to destroy the evidence?
It's not that I don't want to release him, but I only want to seek justice for our poor Yang'er. Your Majesty, our child died so unjustly!" As she spoke, Concubine Yun burst into tears again, crying very sadly.
Facing Concubine Yun's sobbing, the Emperor seemed very impatient. He snorted coldly and said sternly, "Prince Xuan's mansion has been searched and nothing has been found. What evidence do we need her to destroy when she returns?"
"Concubine Yun, please stop being unreasonable. Princess Xuan is pregnant, so let her return home to recuperate. As for Prince Xuan's mansion, I will send someone to guard it until the truth is revealed."
If you say one more word, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship. Considering that you just lost your son, I will forgive your transgression this time. If you do it again, I will strip you of your title and demote you to a commoner!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately left. Concubine Yun fell to the ground with tears streaming down her face, her eyes full of resentment.
In the afternoon, Song Yuning returned to the palace. Looking at the guards outside, Song Yuning said nothing, entered the palace, and closed the door. It was more comfortable to be at home. After returning, Song Yuning immediately showered and changed clothes, and then asked the small kitchen to serve some of his favorite food, and ate it in a good mood.
"How is it at Gao's?" Song Yuning asked Baozhu after finishing his meal.
Baozhu said, "Everything is fine. The midwife checked this morning and the baby is already in the pelvis. She said it should be in labor in another seven or eight days."
Song Yuning nodded: "I must take good care of that place. By the way, has there been any unusual movement in the mansion during the few days I was away?"
Baozhu nodded seriously and said, "I have something to report to the princess. Concubine Lu in the south courtyard has died."
Song Yuning raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's going on?"
Baozhu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly said, "As soon as the princess left, she couldn't help wanting to let the maid next to her go out. As a result, she was discovered by the guards, and the maid was beaten to death on the spot after being interrogated.
I don't know what Concubine Lu was afraid of, so she took poison and committed suicide."
Song Yuning frowned, feeling that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't say much. He just nodded to show that he understood.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Did the little girl say anything before she died?" Baozhu shook her head and replied, "She only said that Concubine Lu asked her to help Concubine Lu's father and mother. But I asked someone to check and found that Concubine Lu had entered the palace since she was a child and had no relatives.
However, following this line of inquiry, I did find something: the person standing behind Concubine Lu wasn't Concubine Yun, but the Eighth Princess." Baozhu's expression was a little strange.
Song Yuning was stunned. She originally thought that Concubine Lu was Concubine Yun's person, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Princess was involved.
"The Eighth Princess? She and Concubine Yun are mother and daughter, and Lady Lu is Concubine Yun's person, so it's normal for her to have some connection with the Eighth Princess. But have you found out what message she wants to convey to the Eighth Princess?"
Baozhu shook her head: "There is no news on this matter for the time being."
Song Yuning pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, you should continue to have people monitor the Eighth Princess to see if she makes any moves. As for the surface, we haven't cleared our suspicion yet, so don't worry about anything. Just stay here and be quiet."
As soon as Baozhu left, Song Yuning began to think about the Eighth Princess.
The Eighth Princess had just been engaged to Xu Hui a year ago, and their wedding was next February. Logically, she should still be living in the palace. But why was she in contact with the Lu family?
Could it be that the death of the tenth prince was not an accident, but a drama written and directed by Concubine Yun?
After all, the women in the palace are ruthless and can do anything.
It was not impossible for Concubine Yun to kill her son, who was already dying, to frame Xiao Yunzhan.
But in this case, it would be hard to explain why the Eighth Princess suddenly got involved in this matter.
It is absolutely impossible to tell the story of Concubine Yun killing her own son.
Since he couldn't figure out the connection, Song Yuning simply stopped thinking about it and directly called the secret guard to tell the emperor about the secret collusion between the eighth princess and Lu.
I believe the Emperor will thoroughly investigate this matter and uncover the truth behind it. As for the final outcome, we can only wait and see.
After receiving the news, Song Yuning no longer cared about the matter. She packed up the palace and stayed there to take care of her pregnancy.
After three or four days, Gao was about to give birth.
Although Song Yuning was in a heavy mood, he was still very concerned about Gao's condition.
It was inconvenient for her to go in person, so she sent four experienced midwives and the gynecological expert Dr. Liu to stand by in Gao's yard.
Although she had made sufficient preparations, Gao still had some difficulties because it was her first child. After a whole day and night, she finally gave birth to a daughter weighing six kilograms.
Only after the delivery room was cleaned up did Song Yuning go to visit Gao and the newborn baby girl.
"Greetings to the princess." When Gao saw Song Yuning walk into the room, her face turned pale and she struggled to get up from the bed to salute. Ningshuang beside her hurried forward to support her.
“You just gave birth and need to rest, so there’s no need to be so polite.
The imperial physician said that you and your child are in good health. Since we cannot go out now, you can use this time to take good care of your health.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold a baby's third-day baptism ceremony, so I thought we could just baptize her ourselves.
"When she's one month old, I'll definitely prepare a spectacular one-month ceremony for her to make up for this regret." Song Yuning said gently.
Unless a child is born weak and sickly and is afraid that he will not live for more than a few days, every child must have a baptism. This is a blessing for the newborn baby.
Gao knew that things were different now and she no longer held out any hope for her child's third-day baptism ceremony.
But she didn't expect Song Yuning to be so thoughtful, and even remembered her daughter's third-day bathing ceremony. Gao suddenly felt a little sad: "Thank you, Princess. I will listen to you.
We, mother and daughter, will always remember the princess' kindness and will never forget it.
Princess, the prince is away now and we don't know when he will return. Please give her a name."
