The prince's strangeness finally caused the prince's concubine to express surprise: "What's wrong with you today? Why do you look so strange?"
She scolded her son, why did the prince, his biological father, look so weird?
It was as if a sore spot had been stabbed.
The prince came back to his senses, with a slightly tired look on his face: "After my father left, I haven't slept for several days and nights. Now my head is buzzing and the pain is severe."
When the princess heard this, she felt distressed and anxious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Go and rest quickly! We have to go to the mourning hall tomorrow morning."
Others can be lazy and rest, but the prince has no right to be weak and shrink. Emperor Long'an has passed away, and he is the backbone of everyone.
The prince nodded tiredly.
The Crown Princess said again: "You rest first, I'll go see Min'er."
After the Crown Princess left, the Crown Prince stood there for a moment, with many complicated emotions flashing through his eyes. Then he let out a long sigh.
Kneeling to observe filial piety, he was not allowed to bathe or change clothes. The prince undressed and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the tent, a distant scene flashed in his mind.
"Your Highness, I was confused for a moment and did something wrong." The woman knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face and trembling: "Please, Your Highness, spare my life."
He was so angry that he held the sword tightly in his hand and pressed it against her neck. If he exerted any force, that despicable and shameless woman would be killed by the sword.
At that moment, he really wanted to kill Jiang Xue with one sword.
Murderous intent is as real as substance.
Jiang Xue was filled with fear, and her teeth kept chattering: "If Your Highness kills me, how should I explain to my sister? My sister is pregnant and the fetus is unstable. She has been lying on the bed to raise the fetus. What if the news about me and Your Highness comes to my sister?
, how can my sister endure it? If I hurt my sister and the child in her belly, Your Highness will regret it..."
He was furious, and with a little force, the tip of the sword was close to her skin: "You don't deserve to call her sister!"
Jiang Xue's whole body was trembling: "Yes, I am not worthy. I will leave right now, and from now on, I will never appear in front of His Highness and Your Majesty."
He really wanted to kill this bitch with one sword.
But when I think of my delicate wife who cannot withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain while lying on the bed, this sword cannot penetrate her.
He tightened and loosened his right hand, loosened and tightened, and finally took back the sword, saying in a cold voice: "Get out!"
"Get away."
"From now on, you are not allowed to appear in front of me again. Otherwise, I will kill you."
Jiang Xuehua turned pale and crawled away.
Since then, he has not been seen again.
Before he had time to rejoice, he heard the news of Jiang Xue's pregnancy from Yuan Xiang.
Yuan Xiang, who knew nothing, was happy for his adopted sister, but he was filled with anger and regret. He only hoped that the child in Jiang Xue's belly was Shen Rong's.
A few months later, the child was born. Eunuch Yang went to the Shen Mansion and brought back a drop of blood.
That drop of blood blended with his blood.
...The prince closed his eyes hard and pushed all the unbearable memories out of his mind.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
After a long time, the Crown Princess came back. She also couldn't bathe or change clothes, so she just lay down next to the Crown Prince fully clothed.
"Min'er has fetal motility again." The princess sighed: "I drank the anti-fetal medicine and is still lying on the bed."
"Shunshun Dangdang was pregnant with twins three years ago, and she really suffered a lot during this pregnancy."
"I'm so relieved to see her. No matter whether Man'er has a boy or a girl, she can be named as she pleases and raised in the backyard. Don't be upset about it. You have to move forward with life, right?"
The prince remained silent and stretched out his arms to hug the princess tightly.
The Crown Princess did not notice anything was wrong and continued to sigh: "No matter what, the child is innocent and pitiful. Not to mention Min'er's cruelty, if it were me, I wouldn't have the heart to vent my anger on the child..."
"It's so late, go to sleep!" The prince interrupted the princess softly.
The Crown Princess felt tired and snuggled into the Prince's arms. She soon fell asleep.
…
The East Palace blocked the news, and the pregnant beauty continued to stay quietly in the small courtyard.
Yuan Min lay down for two days and continued to kneel in the mourning hall during the day.
Everything is as usual, at least there is nothing unusual on the surface.
After the first seven days, the rules of kneeling became a little more lively. Several old and frail officials fainted in the mourning hall, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an order telling these officials to go back to their homes to rest.
Some weak female relatives also fainted one after another and were sent out of the palace.
This month's holiday was naturally gone. Shen You stayed with the prince for several days, and when he had some free time, he returned to the East Palace to take a rest.
Shen You closed his eyes and slept for a moment, then suddenly woke up and suddenly reached out to grab the other hand: "Who is it?"
A familiar chuckle sounded: "Don't worry, it's me."
The tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Shen You's hands also relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Why are you here?"
The husband and wife are both in the East Palace, and each has his own residence. On weekdays, Feng Shaojun never comes to Shen You's house. Mainly because this row is the residence of the East Palace guards, and a chamberlain running over would be too conspicuous.
"There are funeral arrangements in the palace right now, and no one has the time to pay attention to you and me."
Feng Shaojun laughed softly and said: "I asked specifically before I came here. Third brother happened to be on duty and won't be back within three hours. I simply sneaked over here."
Except for Shen Jiahui, almost no one comes to Shen You's house on weekdays.
Shen You laughed, got up and bolted the door, then hugged Feng Shaojun: "I'm very tired. You have been busy these days, so you must be very tired too. Let's sleep together for a while."
Feng Shaojun also didn't sleep well for several days. He yawned and lay in Shen You's arms.
Almost as soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep immediately.
Both of them were young and energetic. After sleeping for two hours, they woke up in high spirits.
"Did something happen in the East Palace?" Shen You asked in a low voice in her ear.
Feng Shaojun hummed and told Shen You that Man'er was pregnant.
Shen You: "..."
No wonder the prince has been sullen and in a bad mood these past few days.
His Highness the Crown Prince is emotionally restrained and does not express his emotions or anger. As a personal guard, Shen You spends more time with the Crown Prince than others. He can clearly detect the Crown Prince's abnormality in the past few days.
Feng Shaojun lay lazily in Shen You's arms: "Your Highness, have you been in a bad mood these past few days?"
Shen You nodded: "That's not good. Your Majesty will kneel down. If you do anything wrong, His Highness will angrily scold you."
Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed slightly and he raised his eyes to look at Shen You: "Do you feel that the prince's reaction to this matter was a little too much?"
Shen You frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully: "I can't explain clearly. In short, I feel something is not right."
Those secret suspicions and guesses have no basis, but they often linger in my mind.
Shen You was silent for a moment and said, "What's wrong or wrong has nothing to do with us. We just have to live our own lives."
Feng Shaojun took a deep look at Shen You and nodded.
