After the prince returned from Cining Palace, he continued to kneel in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Eunuch Yang had to wait at his master's side, and Feng Shaojun, as the prince's personal attendant, also had to guard outside the mourning hall.
The guards of the East Palace even opened their eyes wide, watching everyone who was close to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Feng Shaojun was quite tired after staying up for a few days. However, the current situation did not allow her to be careless. Eunuch Yang's heart was with the prince, and she had to keep an eye on the news and movements in the palace. If there was any slight movement, , we must report it to Eunuch Yang immediately.
A figure quietly came to her side.
A familiar scent drifted into my nose.
Feng Shaojun subconsciously raised his head and met Shen You's eyes.
"Can you hold on?" Shen You's voice was very low, and his red eyes were full of concern.
Feng Shaojun felt warm in his heart, nodded slightly, and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, our family can hold on. Guard Shen should also take more care."
Shen You hummed and quickly walked away from her.
The two of them were serving as servants for the prince, but they belonged to different "factions". Asking such a concerned question was already the limit.
After a while, a young chamberlain from Qiu came over quietly and whispered a few words in Feng Shaojun's ear.
Feng Shaojun frowned slightly.
The beauty Man'er, who was brought into the palace by the grandson, has been quiet all the time. Why did she suddenly move tonight? She was even surprised that the grandson moved her fetus...
Concubine Taisun also wants to see Man'er in person.
This matter may be big or small. Do you want to report it?
Feng Shaojun quickly made a decision and quietly entered the mourning hall.
The princes, princes, and grandsons knelt and cried for three days. It was dark now, and everyone was tired of crying. They ate some vegetarian food to satisfy their hunger, and each found an open space to curl up and rest.
There were at least twenty servants serving in the white mourning hall. Feng Shaojun came in quietly and did not attract anyone's attention.
The prince was kneeling in front of the coffin, and Eunuch Yang was beside the prince, visible at a glance.
Feng Shaojun stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Father."
Eunuch Yang glanced at Feng Shaojun, nodded slightly, and walked to the corner. Feng Shaojun quickly told what happened in the East Palace.
Eunuch Yang frowned: "Our family knows!"
Then he came close to the prince and whispered a few words.
The prince was in a gloomy mood, and he could not care about an insignificant beauty. However, at this moment, the emperor's funeral was important, and it was not appropriate for anything to happen in the East Palace.
The prince looked at Eunuch Yang and said, "Let your grandson go back to the East Palace."
Eunuch Yang responded, glanced at Feng Shaojun, and raised his chin in the direction of his grandson.
Feng Shaojun understood and quietly walked to Zhu Yun's side.
Zhu Yun cried for three days, knelt for three days, and his mind was muddled. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhu Yun subconsciously raised his head, and a familiar and delicate face of the chamberlain came into view.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his servant to send a message," Feng Shaojun said in a low and fast voice: "Your Highness, please return to the East Palace immediately."
Back to the East Palace?
Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment before he reacted and nodded.
Zhu Yun got up and walked out.
Feng Shaojun naturally followed Zhu Yun.
As a good and considerate subordinate, she should take the initiative to take care of her boss's worries. She had to go and see for herself what happened in the East Palace. If there was any accident, she could handle it in time.
Zhu Yun walked a few steps and realized that Eunuch Feng was following him. He slowed down and turned his head to take a look.
Feng Shaojun whispered respectfully: "I am following the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince to serve His Highness the Grand Sun back to the East Palace."
Zhu Yun silently withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace.
…
East Palace.
Yuan Min was sitting on the chair, her stomach no longer hurt, her face was a little pale, and her expression was quite calm.
A young woman wearing a light green skirt walked in with her head lowered.
The woman lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly for a while. However, one could see that she had a slim figure.
"Slave Man'er, I have met the Grand Concubine." The woman's voice was soft and sweet.
Yuan Min pursed her lips: "Get up and talk."
Man'er did not stand up, but kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty, I know my humble status, and I have never thought of competing with you. I just want a place to stay."
"My menstrual period is more than half a month late. It's nine out of ten that I'm pregnant. I'm frightened. Please ask your empress to summon the imperial doctor and give me a medicine."
Yuan Min pursed her lips tighter: "Raise your head."
Man'er raised her head in panic.
A very beautiful face came into view. Clear black eyes flashed with pitiful panic.
This beauty was completely different from what she had imagined. She was neither delicate nor charming, and her eyes were pure, as if she were a delicate flower who didn't know anything about the world.
No wonder Zhu Yun would take her back to the East Palace.
What man can resist such a beauty?
Man'er's eyes flashed with water, her body trembled with fear, and her voice was slightly choked: "Mother, I really don't want this child. I only want to survive. I am not worthy of being a mother. I beg your Majesty to grant me permission."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily again.
Yuan Min felt a little bitter in her mouth.
She should hate the woman in front of her. In fact, for more than a month, every time she thought of Man'er, it felt like a thorn in her heart.
When she really saw Man'er, the hatred in her heart suddenly disappeared. She couldn't even feel disgust.
This Man'er is just a chess piece that can't help itself, and is at the mercy of others.
After just one night, I became pregnant. Who can blame me?
"You get up first." Yuan Min closed her eyes and then opened them. She had made a decision in her heart: "I will let the imperial doctor check your pulse."
"If you are really pregnant..."
Man'er shivered, and her heart was enveloped by a strong despair that could not be resolved.
How could the concubine let her go?
Once the medicine is applied, she can close her eyes silently.
No one cares about an insignificant beauty. Even Prince Zhao and his son don't care about her life or death. What she just said was true. She doesn't want children, she just wants to survive!
Two lines of tears fell quietly.
"...The flesh and bones in your belly are the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, so keep them healthy!"
Man'er almost thought she heard wrongly and suddenly raised her head.
After Yuan Min said these words, her heart completely calmed down. Children are innocent. Once they are born, they will be born. Whether they are a bastard or a bastard, they cannot affect the status of her and her three children.
She didn't want to be swallowed up by the darkness, and she didn't want to kill a fetus whose gender was unknown. She was open-minded or soft-hearted. In short, she had made a decision.
Man'er's tears fell softly.
"Min'er."
The urgent voice crashed into my ears along with the hurried footsteps.
Zhu Yun didn't even look at Man'er who was kneeling on the ground, and quickly walked to Yuan Min's side: "Are you okay?"
Yuan Min endured the sourness and whispered: "Your Highness is back just in time."
"Miss Man's letter is more than half a month late. She must be pregnant. Please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look!"
Zhu Yun: "..."
