Chapter 432 Wu Qiqi invites herself out of the government
On October 19, it snowed heavily in Beijing.
The second prince stayed in the palace for seven or eight days before he had time to return home.
"Your Highness, the snow is really heavy today, can I help you find a carriage?" The entourage saw heavy snow covering the sky, and could see up to five feet away.
"No need," the second prince refused, "if we had to look for the carriage, we would have already walked halfway."
After saying that, he got on his horse and cracked his whip twice.
The horse knew the way and immediately started running.
The attendant couldn't help but smile, thinking that His Highness must be anxious.
I haven't been home for several days, and both the Crown Princess and Aunt Wu are pregnant. No wonder His Highness is thinking about it.
Because the snow was too heavy, it was difficult to walk fast on the road. When the second prince returned to the mansion, his body was already covered with snow.
The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said hello to the second prince while clearing the snow.
"How are the princes and concubines doing these days?" the second prince asked Jin Lingyi.
"Back to Your Highness, the Crown Princess went back to her parents' home on the fourteenth day, and several guests from the Jin family came, and they were all close relatives," the housekeeper said.
"That's right!" The second prince didn't know about this, "Then prepare some gifts for me! I'll go over and have a look when the snow stops."
The housekeeper quickly agreed.
The second prince asked again: "Where is Aunt Wu? Is she feeling better?"
Hearing her mention Wu Qiqi, the housekeeper was speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong?" The second prince turned around and asked.
"This... Your Highness, calm down, Aunt Wu... had a tire slip a few days ago..." The housekeeper knew that no matter how difficult it was to say, he would still have to say it.
The second prince was really shocked after hearing this: "What? She had a miscarriage? How could it happen? Wasn't it already prescribed anti-fetal medicine?"
"It's not convenient for me to know the specific situation." The housekeeper said, "That day when the princess left the mansion in the afternoon, when it was time to turn on the lamp, Fengmei ran over in a hurry and said that Aunt Wu felt bad, please hurry up and ask for help.
doctor.
The old slave then ordered someone to invite Doctor Zhang, and after a great deal of confusion, he still couldn't do it."
"Does the princess know?" the second prince asked.
"I'd rather ask Aunt Hua to tell her over there," the housekeeper said. "The prince and concubine are naturally concerned about it, but firstly, they just arrived at the mansion and met their relatives, so it's hard to leave. Secondly, this
The weather has been bad for the past few days, and we are afraid that the princess will get sick."
"I understand, I'm going to Qiqi's side to have a look." The second prince was in a very low mood.
Wu Qiqi's face was as white as paper, and her tears fell like broken beads when she saw the second prince.
"Qiqi, you have suffered." The second prince quickly stepped forward and took her into his arms.
Wu Qiqi gently shook her head in the arms of the second prince.
Seeing this, the people waiting below all retreated, leaving only the two of them in the room.
"Stop crying, you have to take good care of yourself now," the second prince comforted her while wiping her tears, "We will have children in the future."
Wu Qiqi cried even harder after hearing this, and shook her head vigorously.
"Be obedient, don't be sad anymore." The second prince coaxed softly, "I'm too busy these days to take care of you. I will definitely spend time with you when I have some free time."
Wu Qiqi held back her tears, broke away from the second prince's embrace, knelt on the bed and kowtowed to him several times.
"What are you doing?" The second prince was puzzled.
Wu Qiqi took the pen and paper next to her and wrote the words "Let me go".
"Let you go? Where are you going? Why are you leaving?" the second prince asked with a frown.
"I am ominous." Wu Qiqi wrote three more words on the paper.
"Who said this?" The second prince was a little angry, "You are mine, who in this house dares to say that you are unlucky?"
Wu Qiqi refused to say anything, but kowtowed and begged.
The second prince knew that he couldn't get anything out of her, so he said, "I'm too busy in the palace these days. I'll go wash up first and talk to you later."
Wu Qiqi nodded obediently. She was always extremely considerate towards the second prince.
"Fengmei, come out with me!" The second prince walked outside and called Wu Qiqi's personal maid.
Fengmei followed the second prince to the main room with an anxious expression, and knelt down as soon as she entered the door.
"What happened these days?" The second prince asked her with a stern face, "Tell me the truth, or I will beat you to death!"
"Yes," Fengmei trembled with fright, "His Highness is not at home these days, and our life is really difficult.
I don’t know who had a bad tongue and said that the month of birth of the child our princess was pregnant with was not good. These words spread for some days, but we didn’t take it seriously.
Two days later, I heard that the princess had settled with an expert because the child in our aunt's belly had blocked the luck of the emperor and grandson. They also said that our aunt had a bad horoscope and was a hindrance to the emperor.
Everyone in the mansion began to dislike us. His Highness was not at home and there was no one to protect us.
Especially the people in this courtyard don't have a good face when they see us, and they criticize us from time to time.
On the fourteenth day, Sister Vanilla stopped us and asked us to get out of the house quickly.
Ask us why we are so thick-skinned and refuse to leave?
Naturally we had to argue a few words and ended up quarreling.
Your Highness knows our aunt's temperament and she never causes trouble.
Seeing that we were arguing too much, she wanted to come forward and pull me back, but she was pushed by Sister Vanilla.
Then Sister Vanilla left, and then I heard that the princess had returned to her parents' home.
At that time, the servant thought that it would be a good thing for the prince and concubine to return to her natal family, so that we would not make others angry again.
But after a while, our aunt's face changed, and a lot of blood came out from her lower body. I hurriedly ran to ask the housekeeper to call a doctor, but it was already too late..."
"Is there such a thing? How did the princess do it? Didn't she even ask?" the second prince asked.
"We want to see the princess. After all, even if she is depressed, it is not the servant's turn to speak. But every time we come to say hello, we can't see her," Fengmei cried. "That morning, our aunt stood in the cold wind for nearly half a day.
For an hour, I just wanted to see the prince and concubine, but we were never allowed in."
From what Fengmei said, it was obvious that Jin Lingyi allowed the people below to treat Wu Qiqi harshly and even asked her to leave here.
"Your Highness, why don't you let Aunt Wu go! She is so pitiful. If she continues to stay, I'm afraid she won't even be able to save her life." Fengmei pleaded, "Aunt Wu also told us that her leaving would be harmful to everyone.
Good, so as not to displease the princess and cause trouble to His Highness."
The second prince was silent for a long time, the snow outside the window was still falling, and Wu Qiqi's sullen face always appeared in front of him.
The second prince cared very much about Wu Qiqi. He had met her in the ice and snow and couldn't bear her starving and freezing, so he bought her back to his home.
Later, Wu Qiqi was poisoned by Ma Feiyan and became mute from then on.
It was that incident that made the second prince furious and determined to push Ma Feiyan to death.
But Jin Lingyi shouldn’t be the second Ma Feiyan!
She is so gentle, considerate, tolerant and virtuous.
Does she have two faces?
Or is she willing to kill other children for the sake of her own child?
