Chapter 108 Speculation
Song Yuning looked at the baby girl lying next to Gao, a trace of tenderness in her eyes. This little life had just come into the world, and her skin was a light red, but she looked very delicate and cute.
She lay quietly beside her mother and slept soundly, looking particularly well-behaved and cute.
I wonder if the two babies in her belly will be as cute when they are born.
Song Yuning thought for a while before saying softly, "In that case, let's name the child Jinghe! May the years be peaceful and quiet."
After hearing this, Gao kept repeating the name Jinghe, her face showing joy. She felt that the name had a beautiful meaning and she loved it more and more.
After all, Gao had just given birth. After chatting with Song Yuning for a while, she gradually became exhausted. Seeing this, Song Yuning hurriedly advised her to rest and then left.
Although Jinghe's third-day baptism ceremony was not grand, it had everything it should have. Gao's body had not fully recovered yet, and it was not convenient to take the baby out, so the third-day baptism ceremony was held in her delivery room.
Several concubines came and brought basins. Jinghe cried loudly in the basin, and the third nanny kept praising her.
After the third day of bathing was over, Song Yuning specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet so that the maids and concubines in the mansion could have a good meal.
Two days after Jinghe's third day of bathing, the guards outside the palace withdrew without any warning. Then news came from the palace that the cause of the tenth prince's death had been found out and it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with anyone. The tenth prince died of illness.
There is obviously something fishy going on here, but since the emperor has made such a conclusion, the matter is over and no one is allowed to investigate further.
Unable to bear the pain of losing her son, Concubine Yun in the palace suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. The Weiyang Palace was closed to visitors.
The spies and secret guards sent by Song Yuning were all stopped by the emperor's secret guards. It was obvious that the emperor was determined not to let others know the reason.
In order to avoid angering the emperor, Song Yuning had to recall all his troops.
However, she still pieced together the general situation through clues from various sources.
Perhaps, the death of the tenth prince was indeed an accident, but this accident was probably related to the eighth princess Xiao Mulan.
Before the Tenth Prince died, the Eighth Princess went to visit him and stayed in his house for quite some time.
Shortly after the Eighth Princess left, the Tenth Prince died of suffocation due to asthma caused by inhaling cat hair.
Everyone in the palace knew that the eighth princess, Xiao Mulan, had a cat servant whom she loved very much.
“Ever since I informed His Majesty that the Eighth Princess had connections with the Lu family in our mansion, His Majesty has ordered a strict investigation into the Eighth Princess.
Later, they discovered that the Eighth Princess had visited the Tenth Prince before his death. In the past two days, the Emperor had summoned the Eighth Princess to the Weiyang Palace in the suburbs several times. It's unclear what the Emperor, Concubine Yun, and the Eighth Princess discussed, and the Tenth Prince's death has been left unresolved. This was the report the secret guards gave to Song Yuning.
Based on this information, Song Yuning speculated that the cause of this incident might be related to the Eighth Princess.
Perhaps the Tenth Prince's asthma attack caused by cat hair was not intentional by the Eighth Princess, but the matter was later implicated in Xiao Yunzhan, which must have been related to the Eighth Princess.
The Eighth Princess and Concubine Yun are truly worthy of being mother and daughter. They are both so vicious when doing things.
Thinking of Xu Hui's peach blossom eyes, Song Yuning suddenly felt that the Eighth Princess, with her temper, was really not worthy of Xu Hui.
As the matter of the tenth prince was over, the gate of Prince Xuan's mansion was opened, and Princess Shun and Song Yuyan were the first wave of people to come.
When the two saw Song Yuning's belly, they were a little frightened. Princess Shun quickly held Song Yuning's hand and said, "Are you okay? Looking at your belly, I feel scared! Sit down quickly and don't get up."
Song Yuyan also came to the other side, and the two of them helped Song Yuning sit down: "You have suffered this for no reason, Ning'er, you have suffered."
Song Yuning looked at the two people who were so nervous that they couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile, "I'm fine, really fine. Please sit down and do as you please. I won't greet you."
"Such a big thing happened and Prince Xuan was not here. Fortunately, you managed to hold on by yourself, otherwise..." Song Yuyan's eyes were full of unconcealable worry.
"Yes, we were scared to death at that time, fearing that something might happen to you." Princess Shun echoed.
"Thank you for your concern for me, but I'm fine now, right?" Song Yuning said with a smile.
However, Song Yuning's smile faded, and he sighed, "Alas... what an unexpected disaster! But fortunately, the emperor has already investigated everything thoroughly, and it can be regarded as a restoration of our innocence.
Otherwise, the prince and I will never be able to hold our heads up high in this life, bearing the reputation of killing our own brother." After saying this, Song Yuning sighed deeply again.
The Princess of Shun and Song Yuyan thought so too, but since this matter was related to Concubine Yun, they also had the ability to judge. Concubine Yun was probably feeling unfair and wanted to drag them into this.
Just as he was speaking, someone suddenly came to report that Old Madam Song and the wife of the Duke of Huguo had arrived. Song Yuning quickly asked someone to invite them in.
When Old Madam Song saw Song Yuning and looked at her huge belly, she couldn't help but said distressedly: "My son, you have suffered so much!"
"Grandmother and aunt are here? Please sit down. I'm really fine. Thank you for coming here." Song Yuning looked at the old lady and Madam Li, and the smile on her face became warmer. She was able to get out of the palace so quickly thanks to the help of the Song and Li families in the previous dynasty.
Madam Li bowed and sat down: "We originally wanted to come yesterday, but it was a little late, so we came to take a look today.
The princess is still pregnant with twins, and after all this, we were a little worried about you. But seeing how the princess looks now, we are relieved.
Song Yuyao had come too, and seeing that Song Yuning looked fine, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Ninth Sister, are you okay? Are the two little nephews in your belly bothering you?"
Song Yuning smiled and shook his head: "They are very well behaved and didn't cause me any trouble."
The old lady looked at Song Yuning, her eyes full of concern. She reached out and patted Song Yuning's hand, "Yuning, you've really suffered. But fortunately, everything is over. You should relax. The most important thing now is to take good care of the baby and don't worry about other things.
If you need anything, just tell me. No matter what, my old bones are still useful and I will definitely take good care of you."
Song Yuning nodded: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Princess Shun looked at this scene and raised her eyebrows slightly. Everyone said that Princess Xuan was a concubine's daughter, but now it seems that this concubine's daughter also has connections in her family, and is not much weaker than the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families like them.
Prince Xuan does have good vision.
