The prince nodded a little heavily: "Yes, I have promised it in front of my mother and my father!"
Mo's face was full of tears and her eyes were still red. When she heard these words, she did not hide her happiness. She even breathed a sigh of relief in front of the prince. Great! From now on, that A woman will never appear in front of her again! She has been looking forward to this day for too long!
The prince felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her relieved expression. However, seeing that Mrs. Mo was agitated and had just cried, the prince was not in the mood to care about it. He just said lightly: "Let her live in Zhuangzi from now on." Come on, don’t treat her harshly in terms of food and clothing. Send an honest and reliable mother-in-law to take care of her."
When the prince said this, he was probably using practical actions to reassure Mr. Mo. If Mr. Mo was still worried about Shen Qiuyu, he could send one of his confidants to watch Shen Qiuyu's every move.
Mo did not speak, but nodded slightly. She thought more deeply. On the surface, the prince's move seemed to appease her. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, it was not a way for the prince to protect Shen Qiuyu's safety. In this way, , on the contrary, it eliminated the possibility of Mr. Mo secretly taking action against Shen Qiuyu. Otherwise, if something happened to Shen Qiuyu, Mr. Mo would be the first to bear the blame.
…
In any case, the biggest thorn in his side was finally removed. Generally speaking, Mo's mood at this time was relatively happy. She soon returned to her usual calmness and calmness: "I have asked the nanny to take good care of the child. Whatever mistakes the adults make, the children will always be at fault. In my opinion, the full moon ceremony should still be held. It just so happens that the excitement can counteract the bad luck in the house."
Mrs. Mo is indeed qualified to be a mistress. She has considered every aspect carefully.
The prince thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave the child's affairs to you! After... everything is settled, the child will be raised in your name." [
When the prince said that everything had been done properly, he of course meant after the child's biological mother, Yoona, was buried.
Mrs. Mo immediately understood: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take good care of the children." As a princess, this kind of heart is a must. She is the nominal mother of all the children of the prince, and she has a lot of responsibility to take care of the children. What's more, , now that the child has no biological mother, it is simply a son given to her in vain.
Shen Qiuyu, Shen Qiuyu, you worked hard to have a son. Unexpectedly, you ended up taking advantage of me...
A glimmer of light flashed in Mo's eyes, and his mind quickly calculated all the things he had to do next.
…
Several midwives were quietly silenced, and each family received a generous sum of money as burial expenses. No one dared to ask the reason behind it.
Mother Qiu died of her injuries. The little maid who had served Yoona fell into the water and died unexpectedly. Yoona hanged herself in the house in the middle of the night. When she was found the next day, her body was stiff and cold. The king in the palace The imperial doctor left a final letter and then drank poison and died.
In just a few days, everyone involved in this matter was dealt with cleanly.
Shen Qiuyu, on the other hand, was under house arrest in a remote Zhuangzi, with only a mother-in-law to serve her. She said she was "serving", but it was actually surveillance. She couldn't even leave the room every day. She stayed alone in the room. .
The Prince's Mansion took a series of actions quickly, trying to minimize the impact of this matter. But strangely, instead of being suppressed, the news spread more and more. At first, it was still circulated in the aristocratic circle. Soon it spread It spread throughout the teahouses and restaurants, and became a favorite topic for common people to talk about after drinking.
The prince was secretly upset, but rumors were something that could not be seen or touched. If someone had a mouth, how could he control what others said behind his back?
What makes the prince even more angry is that when everyone sees him recently, their expressions are quite subtle. Although they would not mention Shen Qiuyu to his face, the look of sympathy and pity mixed with looking at the fun is enough to make the prince I feel useless and depressed.
Of course, among these people, there were some who were bold enough to stab him in the face without hesitation.
"Brother Emperor, I have long heard that Concubine Shen in your residence is pregnant. She should have given birth long ago. Why don't you invite me to a wedding wine?" The sinister tone was matched with a mocking smile. , of course it must be the third prince.[
The prince was extremely annoyed, but with a faint smile on his face he said: "I don't know where the third emperor heard the news. There is indeed a new daughter in my house, but he is born to a girl from the same relationship. Concubine Shen's body is dyed She is seriously ill and has long been sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate. How can she possibly give birth to a child?"
This is also what the prince has said to the outside world recently - everyone knows the truth, but this layer of fig leaf is still needed. When it is said many times, even the person who said it often begins to think that this is the case. The prince I have been repeating these few sentences lately, and my expression remains smooth as I say them.
If it had been anyone else, the conversation would probably have ended there.
But the third prince seemed to be deliberately trying to cause trouble for him today. He deliberately raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is this really true? Brother Huang must have remembered it wrong! I remember very clearly. In April last year, the emperor What my brother advertised to the outside world was that Concubine Shen was pregnant. Why is she now the girl with the same relationship as her?"
Seeing the prince's forbearing and ugly expression, the third prince felt a burst of joy in his heart, and continued to rub salt into his wounds: "By the way, I heard some rumors recently. It was said that Concubine Shen was using it as an excuse. The attention of the pregnant woman actually deceived the emperor's brother. I didn't find out until I entered the delivery room when I was about to give birth. I wonder if this rumor is true?"
"Of course not!" The prince secretly gritted his teeth, but maintained a calm demeanor on his face.
The third prince smiled calmly and said: "I don't think it is possible. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he wouldn't have been fooled by a woman for so long!" After a pause, he said with concern: "But outside, The rumors are really spreading too much. This is really detrimental to the emperor! The emperor is the current prince and the future prince. Now he is said to be a confused person who doesn't know right from wrong, let alone the emperor. Brother, even my brother was really unhappy when he heard about it!"
Bah! A cat cries and a mouse is hypocritical!
The prince looked at the proud look on the third prince's face, and his heart suddenly moved. This rumor was so fierce that it was as if someone was secretly instigating it to spread it. When thinking of the third prince's provocative demonstration today, it was natural to think of it.
The main messenger behind this is most likely the third prince!
The prince was not a soft persimmon to be rubbed around. He pretended to smile indifferently: "I am so busy all day long, how can I be in the mood to care about what those troublemakers say behind my back." After saying that, he patted me again.
He patted the third prince on the shoulder: "You have nothing to do anyway, so how about you help me investigate?"
This time, it hit the third prince's sore spot. After the third prince was imprisoned for several months, he returned to the court and was obviously more honest and calm. But even so, the emperor did not treat him at all.
He lost his original respect and preference and did not arrange any important errands for him. The self-righteous third prince finally tasted the feeling of being left out and idle.
The third prince could hardly stop laughing, and his handsome face was slightly distorted: "It's really not convenient for me to interfere in brother's family affairs. I'd better ask my brother to hire someone else!"
The two of them were going back and forth, both of them smiling. After the third prince left, the prince's face suddenly sank, he took a deep breath, and walked away with his sleeves rolled up.
What's even more sad is that, despite being so arrogant, I don't even have a place to talk.
Of course, it is inconvenient to mention it to Mr. Mo, and it is even harder to talk about it with his subordinates. He even has to pretend to be serious, so as not to spread more rumors.
At this time, the prince missed Gu Xinian very much. In any case, at least they were cousins who grew up together. There were some things that were inconvenient to say to others, but in front of Gu Xinian, he didn't have so many scruples.
Thinking of this, the prince could not wait to see Gu Xinian.
It was a coincidence that in two days it would be the full moon day of Gu Xinian's twin twins. Originally, such a happy event only needed Mo's intervention. But the prince insisted on going with Mo. Mo also got a little glimpse of it.
The prince had little thought, but he didn't ask any questions. He just carefully prepared the full moon gift. Then on the same day, he ordered the carriage to be prepared early.
The prince felt relieved that Mr. Mo was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He had long forgotten the unhappiness of that day. Now that he no longer has Shen Qiuyu by his side, he can't quarrel with Mr. Mo every day anymore!
The Duke Dingguo's mansion was filled with laughter and lively at this time.
Since the birth of her two children, Ye Qinglan's life has suddenly become busy and fulfilling. Of course, this kind of busyness and fulfillment does not mean that she really has anything to do. She is still in confinement, and her most important task every day is
Just eating, sleeping and eating are exactly the same as the habits of certain animals. A pair of children are taken care of by several nannies, and the mother-in-law takes good care of them. She doesn't need to move a finger at all, and the children are taken care of.
Take good care of.
But even if she didn't have to do anything, as long as she quietly looked at the faces of the two children, she felt satisfied and happy.
With these two children, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt that she was complete and happy now. The memories of her previous life gradually faded away, leaving only a distant but beautiful silhouette in her mind. Her current life is trivial and
Calm, warm and grounded.
Finally, on the day when the child was one month old, Ye Qinglan’s confinement period was officially over.
Ye Qinglan woke up early in the morning and took a comfortable hot bath. She changed into clean and brand-new clothes, combed her hair into a beautiful bun, and then went to look in the mirror with great interest. (To be continued. If you like
