Chapter 79: Conversation in the Palace (Part 1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After everyone had left, Zhu Qiyu rushed to Jingyang Palace with Xing'an who came to report the news without stopping.

Although he looked calm and composed in front of all the ministers and the Queen Mother just now, he was already extremely anxious in his heart.

After all, he took too many risks this time. If anything happened to Wu and Wang, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Under Zhu Qiyu's urging, he arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace in just a cup of tea.

The palace maid guarding the door saw Jianyu approaching from a distance, so she hurried in to announce the news. Not long after, Qingzhu came out with others, bowed her knees and saluted.

"Bless me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu got off his shoulder, waved his hand and asked.

"No need to be polite, where are the mother-in-law and the princess? Are they okay now?"

Qingzhu said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is fine. She is resting in the palace. The Princess is also resting in the palace. The imperial doctor said there is nothing serious. She should wake up in about half an hour."

"Okay, take me in quickly."

Zhu Qiyu felt slightly relieved and urged Qingzhu to go inside.

It had not been long since Xing'an went to report the news. There were not many people in Jingyang Palace, so the courtyard messed up by Li Yongchang and his men had not yet had time to clean up.

The further inside it became, the more messy it became. Looking at this scene, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Fortunately, he had made arrangements in advance and asked his mother and concubine to find a way to get to Changchun Palace.

Otherwise, if only the concubine and the Wang family were in this Jingyang Palace, then Li Yongchang would not know how to show off his evil...

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, they saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the couch, holding a tea cup in her hand, with a calm expression, not at all like she had just experienced a tense situation.

Zhu Qiyu stepped forward, bowed, and said a little apologetically: "My son has already heard about what happened in the palace. It was his carelessness that frightened his mother and concubine."

Mrs. Wu put down the tea cup, but she didn't have any big reaction, and said: "It's good that things are settled. It's just that Yun Niang has been wronged. Since you are here, go and see her first."

After saying that, Wu stood up and took Zhu Qiyu into the side bedroom of Nuange.

There was a charcoal fire in the room and it was warm. When the maids around saw Zhu Qiyu coming in, they all knelt down and saluted and whispered hello.

Zhu Qiyu took two steps forward and saw Mrs. Wang lying on the bed. Her pretty face was a little pale, and a white cloth was wrapped around her forehead. Through the white cloth, she could vaguely see a blood stain on her temples the size of a baby's fist.

"Why is it so cold?"

Although he had expected it, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the bright red blood marks on his forehead. He sat next to the bed and gently held Wang's hand. Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly and turned around to ask Qingzhu

.

"What did the imperial doctor say?"

Qingzhu replied: "Back to your lord, the imperial doctor said that the injury on the princess's forehead is just a superficial wound. It looks scary. She will recover in a few days, but..."

When Zhu Qiyu heard Qingzhu's hesitant tone, he frowned and asked, "But what?"

Qingzhu glanced at Wu and saw the latter nodded slightly, Fang said.

"However, the imperial doctor also said that the princess had just given birth and was just about to nurse her body back. She has worked hard these days and has lost both her energy and blood. Although the time is still short and nothing can be seen, if things go on like this, she may...

…can affect fertility.”

how come……

Zhu Qiyu frowned, feeling surprised.

You know, in the previous life, Wang's health was always very good, and even in the first year of Jingtai, Wang gave birth to their second daughter.

How can it affect fertility?

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu asked: "Aunt Qingzhu means that it will be difficult for the princess to get pregnant again?"

This time it was not Qingzhu who answered, but Wu.

Looking at Zhu Qiyu's confused look, Wu shook her head and said.

"It's not that it's difficult to get pregnant. A woman's body is prone to loss, especially childbirth, which is the most draining of energy. Yun Niang just gave birth to her eldest daughter half a year ago. She has been busy these days, and her body's energy has been lost.

Make up for it, if this continues, you will have one more pregnancy at most, and it will be difficult to get pregnant again."

At this time, Qingzhu also said: "The imperial doctor also said that if the princess's current body is not properly taken care of, even if she has another child, she will not have enough energy, which may be harmful to the youngest child..."

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly and turned his gaze back to Mr. Wang.

Qingzhu's words reminded him of an incident in his previous life.

When the Wang family gave birth to their second daughter, the delivery time took longer than usual.

After birth, the child was smaller than ordinary children. The imperial doctor once diagnosed the child and said that the child was born with deficiencies that would prevent him from getting married when he grew up.

But it turns out that the crux lies here.

If you think about it carefully, the reason why he was deprived of the throne in his previous life was because he had no legitimate son.

Seeing that Ji's child was the daughter of a side wife after all, for the sake of his reputation, he forcibly helped the Hang family to be in the right position, which caused a lot of discussion in the world, and everyone said that he was too cold and cold.

If there was no abolition of the queen, even if the court officials opposed the abolition of the prince, at least they would not be so alienated.

If you don't know, that's fine. Now that Zhu Qiyu knows it, he naturally wants to avoid the situation in his previous life from happening again.

"Did the imperial doctor tell me how to nurse him back to health?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult. Ordinary women do not give birth like this. The reason why Yun Niang is like this is because she has been too busy and troubled during this period of time."

"I think there is no shortage of medicinal materials and supplements in your palace. The imperial doctor left a prescription and prepared the medicine according to the prescription. She will take good care of it by herself without worrying about it. Don't worry about it. In about a year, it will be enough."

I can survive, but..."

At this point, Wu seemed a little embarrassed and did not continue. Zhu Qiyu felt a little strange and asked.

"But what?"

Wu didn't speak, but Qingzhu came close to him and whispered.

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor specifically ordered that you and the princess cannot have sex during the period of her recovery. The imperial doctor also said that the princess's health is partly due to her uncontrolled sexual intercourse after childbirth..."

Even though he has been a man for two generations, Zhu Qiyu still couldn't help but blush.

No wonder Wu is not easy to talk about this kind of thing.

Well, he has an impression of this. In his previous life, he was just an idle prince in Beijing, with no serious errands to do. In addition, he was timid at that time and did not have many side rooms. There were only Wang and Hang in the mansion.

The two of them are a bit...ridiculous.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's performance, Wu shook her head slightly and said slightly reproachfully: "Do you understand?"

Zhu Qiyu lowered his head and said: "I understand, mother and concubine, don't worry, my son knows what's appropriate."

Mrs. Wu nodded and said: "That's good. Yun Niang is also weak now, so let her rest first. You can come out with me."

So Zhu Qiyu obediently followed Wu out of the bedroom and returned to the Nuan Pavilion to sit down.

After sending away all the idle people on the left and right, leaving only a few confidants standing by, Wu finally spoke.

"You asked Yun Niang to come into the palace early in the morning and send a message to the Ai family, asking us to find a way to go to Changchun Palace to avoid trouble. It seems that there was a big move outside. Now that we are safe and sound, your affairs can't be dealt with.

Is it done?”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and then told Wu in detail what happened in the outer court, from the big fight at the court meeting to the forced remonstration in the Jiyi Palace, Wu frowned and sighed again.

nervous.

After a long while, after Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Wu said.

"The Ai family has long expected that you would take action today, but they never thought that you would be so bold. That's all. Although the matter was dangerous, it was done in the end. It was not in vain that the Ai family had been worried and afraid for many days, but you

Now that you have come to the palace, what do you want to tell the Ai family?"
