Chapter 31 Bag Swapping
With the sound coming from Ningcai’s palace, Cui Xiu looked over. The emotion in her eyes was indifferent. She took away both the autumn wind and the spring breeze, but the child Put it in the palace and ask the nurse to take care of it.
Cui Xiu knew that if she went on this trip, her child would be replaced by Ning Cai. Since Ning Cai wanted to exchange the civet cat for the prince so much, she would comply with her wishes.
This can be regarded as taking a step back to make progress, giving her child a relatively stable growth environment. He will not receive too much attention, may also be ignored, and endure hardships that he should not have to endure at that age. .
When Cui Xiu thought of this, her heart twisted inexplicably. She had just given birth to a child and her body was very weak. If she hadn't had the foundation to practice martial arts in the past, she might not even be able to get out of bed now.
Cui Xiu's eyes turned to her bedroom, thinking of her brother Cheng all the time in her heart. Although she couldn't bear it, she had to be ruthless for the long-term plan.
After Bu Zhu drove away, all that was left in Chu Xiu Palace was Cui Xiu’s back. The ups and downs gradually faded away. The spring breeze and autumn wind followed him as he walked beside him. Cui Xiu’s indifferent eyes were gone forever. Also, a deep look followed.
She will remember this day forever. No matter how many coincidences or calculations there are, she will not let go easily as long as it is the person who forces their mother and son to separate.
Who can live alone in this palace? Everyone is fighting, fighting, and even if she doesn't move at all, she will become a stumbling block, a thorn in the side, and a thorn in the flesh of some people.
In this case, she might as well follow some people's water and push other people's boats. Don't these people like to fight? Then she would set up a stage for them to entertain them.
When they arrived outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Bu Chu could no longer go in. Cuizhu turned around and said to Cui Xiu, "My Lady, Concubine Jia, this Bu Chu can only go so far."
"Please take care of the rest of the way. Let's go up." Cuizhu said to Cui Xiu politely, but she was holding something back in her heart. She knew that Cui Xiu had just given birth, and going up the stairs was undoubtedly a trial for her now.
Chunfeng and Qiufeng on the side saw this and just wanted to complain about Cui Xiu, Cui Xiu said: "Chunfeng, help me."
Cui Xiu knows that this road is now She had to leave. Cuizhu had obeyed the queen's order and had the emperor's tacit approval. All of this was because the royal people wanted to give her and the Cui family a blow.
It is also possible that she was overthinking it. The emperor and the queen did not mean this. They may not have known that she had just given birth, so they hurriedly sent someone to call her.
But this ready-made opportunity was placed in front of her. Even if the emperor had no intention of giving power to the Cui family, she could not let this opportunity go.
She had to walk up, and she had to walk upright and upright. She could not embarrass the Cui family, nor could she "lose face" to the emperor.
We want to tell all the dignitaries in the capital to see how the emperor treated the Cui family "specially". The Cui family has to suffer before this reward is received.
Cui Xiu knew that the emperor wanted to put on a show of loving his courtiers, but this show was not casual, it had to be done carefully, and it would not work to fool around.
Chunfeng helped Cui Xiu come down, Qiufeng walked on the other side, and Cuizhu walked in front, leading the three of them and walking up.
Cui Xiu could accept the first few steps, but as she went further, a slight cold sweat broke out on Cui Xiu's white forehead. She held Chunfeng's hand tightly. Chunfeng noticed something was wrong with his empress, and asked in a low voice. : "Mother, are you okay?"
"If you can't leave, Chunfeng will carry you up." Chunfeng saw that Cui Xiu's expression was not right, and she was worried, so she offered to carry Cui Xiu up on her back. She made the suggestion because she felt sorry for her mother-in-law, who had just given birth to a child and still had to suffer here.
It is not easy to give birth to a child, and it is even more difficult after giving birth. You must take good care of the child and not be affected by the cold. If you do not take good care of the child and get the root of the disease during the confinement period, you may not be able to survive in the future. Give birth again.
Leaving aside the issue of childbirth, even this body will never return to what it was before. You can't get away from coughing all day long, and you can't get a little cold, otherwise you will have a headache. "It's okay, I can leave." Cui Xiu immediately rejected Chunfeng. She has not reached that level yet, and even if she has reached that point, she cannot stop. How can this person who is doing the hard work give up halfway?
If the skill is not enough, then some people will see it as fake. The success or failure of many things lies in the little details. If you think carefully, you can succeed, if you don't think carefully, you will fall short.
Cui Xiu wants to walk up and give people a feeling of being harmless but also being obstructive. The reason is that she cannot lose the momentum of Concubine Jia, and cannot lose the face of the Cui family.
The hindrance is to let people see how the emperor treats the families of meritorious ministers, how he treats his own concubines, and how he does not know how to be considerate.
Even if the emperor can shirk the responsibility to the queen and the queen is forced to take over this burden, then the emperor and the queen will be separated in the future, which is also a good situation for her.
At the same time, over at Chuxiu Palace, Ning Cairen also woke up. She asked Xia Zhi to bring her child to her for a look.
Xia Zhi carried the child to Ning Cairen. She weakly raised her hand, touched her child, and said, "Are there any marks on the child?"
Ning Cairen was determined. The idea was to change the child, but before changing the child, she had to know how to recognize her child as her own.
For example, if there are any birthmarks or special moles, everyone is born unique. Ning Cai believes that her child will be the same.
"Reply to the queen, there is a black mole on the back of the little prince's neck. When the nanny was scrubbing the little prince just now, the servant saw it."
Ning Cairen listened to Xia Zhi's words. , she motioned to Xia Zhi to show her the child's mole, and Xia Zhi immediately understood what Ning Cairen meant.
Li Ruoyan was very noisy, kept crying, kept crying, Xia Zhi wanted to turn around for him, but couldn't do it for a while.
Ningcairen saw that Xia Zhi was a little helpless, so she said, "It doesn't matter, you pick up the child and expose his neck."
Xiazhi followed Ningcairen's instructions and Li Ruoyan's neck was exposed, and there was indeed a black mole there. The child's cry surrounded the entire palace.
Ning Cairen learned that Cui Xiu had gone to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. Now there was only a nanny and a group of maids guarding Cui Xiu's child in Chuxiu Palace.
This is the best opportunity to make a move. She can no longer hesitate. If she misses this opportunity today, she may not have another chance in the future.
"Xia Zhi, you should do as I told you before." Ning Cairen said, turning around and looking into the bed. She was afraid that she could not bear to see the child being taken away, so she wanted to stop it.
Xia Zhi heard Ning Cairen's words. After coaxing Li Ruoyan, she hugged Li Ruoyan and bowed to Ning Cairen before walking outside.
Ning Cairen has already placed people in Cui Xiu's palace just for today.
