Chapter 45: Disfigured Palace Lady VS Cold-blooded Emperor 45
After the dissolution of the dynasty.
"My lord, what do you mean by this emperor!"
On the way out of the palace, King Duan looked at the Taifu who was following him and whispered. : "I don't understand, but the child in Concubine Yao's belly..."
He did not continue.
It's nothing more than words that can't be kept.
The Taifu naturally understood what Prince Duan meant, so he came closer and whispered: "I fully support the prince!"
Prince Duan smiled at him and looked left and right. , and then whispered to the Taifu: "I will definitely not treat the Taifu badly!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing to each other, and both understood what the other meant.
Prince Duan quickly returned to the palace, and then went directly to the main courtyard to find Princess Duan.
The main courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion, Xihe Hall.
Princess Duan held a cup of tea in her hand and looked at the garden outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.
Suddenly hearing footsteps approaching, she knew who was coming. She stood up with a smile and went out to greet him.
"The prince is back?"
When Princess Duan saw King Duan, she stepped forward with a smile, naturally took off her robe for him, and then put it aside.
"Is there any movement in the queen?"
Prince Duan casually sat on the couch, half-relying on his body, looking at Princess Duan, and asked.
Princess Duan smiled, walked over and sat next to him, "The queen did take the bait. A few days ago, someone from the queen secretly came to see me, saying that she wanted to take the medicine to my mother. I I gave it, but it was Zi Mu Gui. "
Zi Mu Gui is a powerful poison specifically targeted at pregnant women. As long as it gets a little bit of it, both mother and child will die.
It’s still the kind that can’t even be saved.
"Presumably, that Zimugui will soon be used on Concubine Yao."
Princess Duan looked at Prince Duan and smiled cruelly.
"Well!" King Duan nodded slightly, with satisfaction on his face, "You did a good job."
"Remember to sweep your tail clean, don't let anyone find out." He He warned seriously.
"My lord, don't worry, I understand!"
Princess Duan looked serious and said seriously.
He paused, frowned again and said: "But we can't rely entirely on the queen, we have to be prepared!"
"Then what does the prince plan to do?" Princess Duan leaned closer. Some questions.
Prince Duan glanced at her and smiled mysteriously, "I want to give my good brother some excitement during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Princess Duan seemed to understand but not understand, when she saw the prince He had his own plan and didn’t ask any more questions.
As the sun set in the west, Ye Beichen came to Yuexian Palace under the afterglow of the setting sun.
When Ye Beichen saw Yu Yao, he kissed her forehead, "How are you today? Is the child good?"
Yu Yao took his hand and put it on hers On the lower abdomen, "The child is only more than three months old, and I am waiting for my concubine to be pregnant for five months." When the moon is over, the emperor should ask such questions again!"
Ye Beichen smiled slightly, "I'm really anxious!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor came to ask for Ping An's pulse today. She may be pregnant with twins!”
Yu Yao thought of something and suddenly said.
“Twins?”
Ye Beichen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly fell on her belly.
Twins may be a good thing in an ordinary family, but it may not be a good thing in the royal family.
It would be okay if there were two princesses, or twins.
But if there are two princes, one must be killed.
Especially when there are no other princes and there is an urgent need for an heir, it is even more impossible for the other prince to survive.
Yu Yao knew what he was thinking when she saw his serious expression.
Then he knelt down at Ye Beichen's feet and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you, if you really want to give birth to two princes, please send the other one out of the palace and far away. Yes, give him a way to survive!”
She is not worried at all because she is pregnant with twins, but she still has to do something about it.
Ye Beichen couldn't bear it and gently pulled her up from the ground, sighing lowly, "This is also my child. How could I have the heart to kill my own child."
"I promise. Even if you give birth to two princes, I will definitely save the life of the other one."
He said seriously again.
According to convention, and for the sake of the stability of the imperial power, in this case, there is absolutely no chance that the other one will survive.
How could he bear to kill his child after all?
Yu Yao and Ye Beichen discussed it. It was decided not to break the news about twins yet, and just keep it a secret for now.
It is best to keep it secret until production.
No one knows that if two princes are really born, the other one will be sent away quietly.
Then it was publicly announced that she had given birth to a baby.
Ye Beichen even went to the Imperial Hospital to coerce and induce Imperial Physician Zhou not to reveal the news about Concubine Yao's twins.
"From now on, Concubine Yao's pregnancy will be handed over to you. You should know what should be said and what should not be said!"
Face the emperor's coercion and inducement, Zhou Taiyi suffered. With one face, I had no choice but to agree.
Yu Yao is also very cooperative and tries to wear loose clothes on weekdays.
Although it is only three months now, I am gradually showing signs of pregnancy.
The bellies of twins are much larger than those of singles, so if you cover them up a little, you can prevent others from seeing them.
Ye Beichen even hid this from the Queen Mother, so the less we know about this matter, the better.
Lest others notice her belly, Yu Yao rarely walks out of Yuexian Palace.
But if I don’t go out anymore, I will still go to greet the queen every day.
But the queen seemed not to know that she was pregnant, and still saw her bulging her belly every day to say hello.
That look showed no intention of sparing her greetings.
Today, on her way back from greeting An, she had an accident.
First I almost fell off the sedan chair.
The reason was that oil was spilled on the palace road, and the eunuchs who were driving out the sedan chair could not stand firm.
Yu Yao reacted quickly and flew down before the sedan fell.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her feet landed, a crazy wild cat jumped out from the roadside.
The wild cat pounced straight on her belly.
At first glance, it was clear that someone had been planning for a long time to get rid of her belly.
Yu Yao sneered, and before the wild cat pounced, she slapped the crazy wild cat to death.
Although she was fine, she was somewhat frightened. Fortunately, there was no problem.
When Ye Beichen learned about it, he was extremely angry and immediately sent someone to investigate.
Finally, Qin Gengyi was found, who was the former Zhao Guifei.
Qin Gengyi had a grudge against Yu Yao, and he stabbed villains in the palace every day to curse Yu Yao.
Curse her to a bad death, one dead body and two lives.
After Ye Beichen learned about it, he naturally couldn't bear it, and the affection he had for Qin Gengyi completely disappeared.
She was killed by an imperial edict.
I heard that Qin Gengyi refused to die when he received the imperial edict, and clamored to see Ye Beichen.
Ye Beichen did not go to see Qin Gengyi, but said coldly: "Since she refuses to die, then you will send her on her way yourself."
Qin Gengyi died soon after , was strangled to death by Eunuch Fu's apprentice, Eunuch Zha.
I heard that his eyes were wide open and he would not rest in peace.
The last roll of straw mat was wrapped around his body, and he was just thrown away in the mass grave outside the palace. There was not even a grave.
Pityful, pathetic and hateful.
The matter of Qin changing clothes made the former harem sigh, and it also made more people see the importance the emperor attached to Concubine Yao.
Now, no one dares to offend her.
Of course, there are many people who do this secretly.
The queen was angered by Ye Beichen and punished her several times, even overtly or secretly.
Even on the first and fifteenth day of each month, he did not go to Fengyi Palace to rest.
Just resting in the Yuexian Palace in Yuyao.
Everyone in the harem is laughing at the queen. The queen was not favored before, but now she even has no respect.
The most obvious thing is that when greeting, there are many rebuttals.
He even boldly confronted the queen directly and stabbed the queen from time to time.
My demeanor and sentences are no longer as respectful as before.
