After the two of them had walked a certain distance, the third prince finally walked out from behind the bead curtain. He was not sure whether the emperor's wife had noticed him just now.
However, he couldn't take the initiative to get involved in such a matter, otherwise it might arouse the suspicion of the emperor's wife.
However, just when he was thinking about whether to go to the Yangxin Palace to see how his father would deal with it, a palace maid suddenly walked over quickly and whispered.
"Your Highness, just now Princess Lin'an asked her servant to tell you that you should go to the Ministry of Justice immediately to have a look. She is worried that something will happen."
"Did the emperor's sister-in-law just discover me?" Feng Yujun's expression instantly turned ugly.
He was already so careful. How talented the emperor's sister-in-law was, she could still detect his movements.
"The princess said she has no other comment. Anyway, please just go to the Ministry of Justice and have a look first."
"Okay, I'll go right away," Feng Yujun couldn't wait to see what kind of show the emperor's wife had arranged for him.
When Wang Yiyao and the concubine arrived near the Yangxin Palace, they found that the queen and Mu Dongling were kneeling at the entrance of the palace, followed by several maids and eunuchs who were taking care of them.
She has practiced martial arts for many years, and her eyesight is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Seeing that Mu Dongling's body seemed to be shaking a little now, and his face was too pale to look like, she whispered to the concubine: "Has the queen already taken action?"
"Yes, the person I arranged for it said it personally. Half an hour ago, the Queen sent someone to deliver a decoction to the Crown Princess. It was said to be anti-fetal, but there was something added to the decoction. It is estimated that it will take up to two-quarters of an hour for the Crown Princess to
There's going to be an attack over there."
The imperial concubine has also stayed in the palace for more than twenty years, so she is very familiar with this kind of trick.
And even though the Crown Princess's pregnancy was not widely publicized, just by looking at her usual movements and the way she subconsciously protected her belly, you knew that there was definitely a child in her belly.
After counting the days when she and the prince were given a marriage, what else does she not understand now?
It is estimated that the two of them have already been in contention for a long time, but they are just worried that if someone finds out about this, they will laugh at her and the prince behind their backs, so they want to hide this matter, right?
Now that the Queen wants to keep the Xu family or the Grand Master, she will naturally want to take risks with the child in her belly.
"But now, Mu Dongling should still be kept in the dark, right?" Wang Yiyao didn't know what she thought of, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.
Maybe this is also a great opportunity for her.
"Yes, what does the princess plan to do?" The concubine wanted to know her plan.
She is a smart person and naturally knows that the relationship between the princess and the crown princess is not good.
"My Majesty, don't worry. You just need to cooperate with me later. I am almost certain that this matter can be handled beautifully. My Majesty just needs to promise that you will not go back on what you promised me just now."
"Princess, please rest assured. I guarantee that my family will still have their lives. I will definitely do what I promised you!" The concubine beamed with joy. It seems that this matter has been settled.
"Easy to say." Wang Yiyao exchanged glances with the imperial concubine, then walked around in a circle.
After the imperial concubine informed the emperor that the tonic soup stewed in the small kitchen had been delivered, she slowly led them to the entrance of the Yangxin Hall.
Seeing the queen and Mu Dongling kneeling at the door in a polite manner, the imperial concubine gave them a look of surprise.
"Why is your Majesty still here? Look, the Crown Princess's complexion is not very good. It's better to send her back to rest. Didn't the imperial doctor also say that the Crown Princess needs to stay in bed to rest?"
When Eunuch Chang'an saw the imperial concubine coming, he immediately changed from expressionless to flattering. He respectfully took the food box and shouted into it: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has specially sent you a tonic soup.
"
"Let the noble concubine come in," the emperor's voice sounded.
The imperial concubine smiled proudly and followed Eunuch Chang'an in in front of the queen.
The emperor had obviously become more haggard in the past two days. Seeing Wang Yiyao still following the imperial concubine, he was a little surprised, but he soon understood.
Now that the queen's party has lost power, the third child will surely follow the trend.
But it doesn't matter. He has come to this position from the competition among several princes, and he doesn't mind the private competition among his sons.
As long as he has the ability to come to him, the emperor will feel that his son has not been trained in vain.
The imperial concubine smiled tenderly and stepped forward to salute the emperor. Wang Yiyao followed behind: "See your majesty."
"How long has it been since we last met, and you don't even know how to call me?" The emperor glared at her pretending to be angry, and then asked the two of them to sit down on the stool next to them.
"Come to see me today, what's the matter with you?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm just worried about your majesty's health. I heard that your majesty hasn't been to the harem much recently, and he was busy with affairs in the previous dynasty. I don't understand those things, so I can only ask the small kitchen to stew some tonic for your majesty.
"
The imperial concubine's smile was just right and her voice was gentle and graceful. The emperor instantly felt that all those messy things seemed to be far away from him. He looked at the imperial concubine with satisfaction and said, "You are still sensible."
Thinking of the queen who had been making some small moves in the harem recently, the emperor became even more dissatisfied and snorted: "Did you see the queen and the crown princess when you came in just now?"
"Of course I saw it." The imperial concubine stood up and persuaded gently.
"Your Majesty, when I came in just now, I found that the Crown Princess didn't look very well. Didn't the Queen just say that the Crown Princess was unwell, so she took her to the harem to rest? In that case, why not let the Crown Princess get up?
You're still young, so you can't hurt your body." These words were a bit serious.
However, the emperor did not take it seriously. After taking two sips of the soup, he praised the imperial concubine and then said: "If she is willing to follow the queen's mischief, then let her do it. It doesn't matter if she kneels outside the Yangxin Hall for a few more hours."
It's not like there are storms, rain, wind or sun. What's the big deal? Who allowed her to be so presumptuous? She should be allowed to have a longer memory.
She had been told to stay in the Prince's Mansion and not come out, but somehow she got in touch with the Queen again, and ran to the harem on the pretext of feeling unwell. Who knows what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are discussing these days?
Seeing that the emperor's mood seemed to be getting a little worse now, Wang Yiyao did not dare to say anything and waited quietly.
Anyway, seeing how Mu Dongling looked when he came here just now, he would definitely not be able to hold on for two quarters of an hour. Then we would have to see what the emperor would do.
Sure enough, after the emperor slowly finished the soup, he chatted with the imperial concubine about common things. Before he could tell her what to do, he heard the empress' exclamation from outside.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please come out and take a look. The princess has fainted, Your Majesty!"
"What's going on?" The emperor stood up immediately.
