"Master, please calm down, it's the slave who did something wrong!"
The kneeling man in black robe buried his head on the ground and confessed.
"Didn't you say it's foolproof? How come Meng Lianyi is still alive now?"
The man above is very young. If you look closely, he looks very similar to the prince, but his expression is a bit ferocious. , destroying the noble temperament of the whole person.
"The person assigned by the slave did complete the task. Meng Lianyi fainted on the spot. It was the prince who personally sent him back to the palace. However, after Meng Lianyi entered the palace, our people were able to detect it. The information is limited. I only know that the Crown Princess is in poor health and the Emperor authorized Dr. Liang to accompany her.”
"Hmph! Dr. Liang is a master of gynecology and is not good at detoxification! Besides, my staff in the palace have already spread the news that the Crown Princess is three months pregnant.
Just because the Prince's backyard is uneasy, the two The concubine was unwilling to give up and wanted to plot away the child in the crown princess's belly, so she exposed herself and revealed the news of the crown princess's pregnancy.
Fortunately, I didn't interfere in this matter, I just helped. If you open the door to convenience, my third brother will suffer a loss this time."
The second prince said coldly.
“Master, what should we do next?”
"In less than two days, the news of the Crown Princess's pregnancy will come out. At this juncture, we'd better wait and see what happens. Don't reach out when you shouldn't. I know best how much my father cares about his children."
The second prince sat on a chair, tapped the table and said calmly.
“Master, if the Crown Princess gives birth to the emperor’s eldest grandson, it will be even worse for you.”
“It’s not good for me, it’s not good for the third child, even if you’re anxious, it won’t be. I am alone, and my top priority is to marry my wife back, and giving birth to a grandson is the most important thing.”
The second prince’s eyes narrowed, and he already had his own plan, which he wanted to get rid of before. Meng Lianyi separated General Meng from his father. Now that the plan failed, he would choose other ways to succeed.
"Wu Ming, let your men continue to keep an eye on what's going on in Third Brother's Mansion. If they take action against the prince, you can encourage them, but remember not to expose your own power."
"Yes, Master! "
"As for the prince and the princess, don't do anything for the time being. Once you give birth in ten months, you will be out of the gate of hell. We still have a chance."
" Yes, I obey!”
The man in black robe finally respectfully exited the second prince’s study. After leaving, he looked up at the study, concealed the unwillingness in his eyes, and turned around to leave the second prince’s residence.
Because the second prince and the third prince are both adults, they have already left the palace to build a mansion. Although there are two mothers and concubines in the palace to take care of each other, they are very cautious in delivering news. After all, the emperor will not like his adult son to frequently come in and out of his palace. Harem.
The news about Lianyi's pregnancy was not fully announced until she was almost four months pregnant. Rewards from the emperor and the queen were sent to the East Palace in a steady stream. The four concubines also sent gifts.
The four of them are all old people in the harem, so they naturally know what to give as gifts without being eye-catching, and they will not be used to make a fuss by interested people, so Ripple accepted all these things as ordered.
Just to be on the safe side, after Grandma Sun inspected the items, she asked Imperial Physician Liang to take a look at them again. She made sure that there was nothing wrong with them before putting them into the treasury. Anyway, she did not plan to use them before the child was born.
Lianyi received a wave of gifts, and the prince also looked proud of the spring breeze. He was more patient with the pregnant Lianyi. He followed the instructions of Dr. Liang and came to talk to her from time to time.
Lianyi was impatient to see this man, so she pretended to be well-behaved and persuaded:
"Prince, I feel much better now, and my pregnancy is good. The fetus is stable. You still have to pay attention every day." I have to go to court and listen to the government, and I have to learn a lot from my father. You don’t need to accompany me every day.”
“I am also worried about you. I was pregnant before, and this is the first time for you and me. I just didn’t expect it.
Let’s not mention it. I almost caused you to lose your child last time, and I felt very guilty. I was worried that you would feel sick, so I wanted to spend more time with you to make you feel better. "
The prince took Lianyi's hand and explained gently.
"Of course I understand your Highness's intentions. I blamed my carelessness last time. This kind of thing will never happen again. Even though the prince is busy with court matters, he can just have dinner with me when he is free." Ripple also replied. He shook the prince's hand and said softly.
"Lianyi, thank you for your hard work! You are still sensible."
The prince is very happy now. The princess is not arrogant because of her pregnancy, and she always thinks of him. Coupled with the child in his belly, he now has a better impression of the Crown Princess.
“Have you got your pulse on peace today?”
After the prince pulled Lianyi to sit down, he asked as usual.
"Your Highness, I have good news to tell you today."
Lianyi smiled charmingly and touched her belly.
“What good news?”
“Your Highness, I am pregnant with twins.”
Lianyi said with a smile.
"Is this true?"
The prince was even happier after hearing this, with an unstoppable smile on his face. Two children at a time, one of them will definitely be a boy. , in this way he can be regarded as having a successor, which adds another bargaining chip for him to ascend to that position.
Lianyi nodded with a smile and said:
"It's true. Dr. Liang could vaguely feel the double pulse before. It was just because the child was too young and he almost had a miscarriage before. It was impossible to be sure. This time the fetus was stable and it was four months old. Doctor Liang was sure.
I didn't let him tell the news. I thought it would be best to tell His Royal Highness the good news in person, and it would be best for His Highness to tell his father. "
Lianyi explained with a smile.
"Okay! good! good! It seems that Lianyi is still lucky. I would like to say that your belly does not look like it is four months old. It turns out that you are pregnant with two. I must tell my father this good news personally. "
The prince was very happy, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the back of his ears.
"This is not my blessing. It is obviously the blessing of His Highness, and I have also benefited from you. ”
Lianyi immediately gave him a tall hat, which made the prince even happier. He also told the people serving in the East Palace to be more attentive, and then he hurried to the imperial study with Quan Fu to announce the good news.
The emperor was also very happy when he heard the news, but he was not surprised. After all, Dr. Liang was the one who arranged it, so he knew it one step ahead, but he still had to express what should be expressed.
"Hong'er, you are going to be a father now. You have to be more steady in the future. There are many people staring at you from top to bottom in the court, so you can't relax at all."
The old emperor immediately began to tighten the screws.
“Yes, my father’s point is right. My son will definitely be more humble and prudent, handle my duties well, and live up to my father’s expectations for me.”
"Well, if you have time, spend more time with the Crown Princess. Her body may not be able to bear the burden of having two children at once."
The emperor hinted.
"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Lianyi."
When the matter was over, the news slowly spread, and now there was envy, jealousy and hatred There are even more people there. The second prince and the third prince each lost a set of the four treasures of the study, and then they went in and out of the harem more often than before.
