Chu Mingcui slowly walked over and continued to sit next to him, holding his hand and covering her belly, saying: "This is our child, our prince."
King Qi was suddenly startled, and suddenly withdrew his hand and stared at her.
Chu Mingcui looked at him and asked coldly: "What are you afraid of?"
King Qi was really frightened. He never knew that Chu Mingcui had such thoughts.
He is a prince now. Even if he is pregnant with a son, he is still the heir apparent at most.
"Tui'er, don't talk nonsense!" King Qi retracted his hand as if it was being burned, and lay on his side, completely ignoring the injury on his arm that was being suppressed.
Chu Mingcui really wanted to slap him.
She was stunned and couldn't believe that she had chosen a loser.
After a long time, she forced out a smile and said, "My grandfather told me that he wanted to make you the crown prince. My grandfather asked me to test your mind. Just now, I was testing you."
King Qi turned around slowly, "Testing?"
"Well, grandpa just wants to see if you have this thought, the courage, and the responsibility." Chu Mingcui said in a cold and authentic voice.
King Qi was silent for a moment, "The first assistant has overthought things. My father has made his own decision. Moreover, my father is still young, so there is no need to rush to establish an heir."
Chu Mingcui sneered in his heart, not in a hurry to establish an heir? Now everyone's eyes are fixed on the position of the prince. Even the civil and military officials are slowly looking for a suitable prince to get closer.
Even King Sun has now begun to make preparations.
He said there was no rush? He was really confused to the extreme.
Chu Mingcui's heart felt a lot colder.
She stood up and said calmly: "You rest first, I'll go out for a while."
She walked out slowly, but King Qi shouted in horror, "Tui'er!"
She turned back and looked at him.
King Qi felt it was difficult to breathe and said with difficulty: "Your... clothes, you have come to believe in them."
Chu Mingcui said calmly: "Really? Then I'll change my clothes."
After saying that, she walked to the cabinet, took out some clothes, and changed them behind the screen.
She didn't look panicked or surprised at all.
King Qi was extremely surprised, "You ordered someone to report to the palace today, but you are not pregnant now. How can you explain this?"
"No need to explain, who knew I was going to send a letter? The palace wouldn't take off my pants to see, right?" Chu Mingcui said coldly.
King Qi couldn't believe that these words came out of her mouth. His eyes were so wide that he could almost stuff a duck egg into his mouth.
Chu Mingcui did not stay, but turned around and went out.
King Qi collapsed on the bed, his hands and feet were cold.
Why did she change all of a sudden?
Chu Mingcui went out and went to the side hall with gloomy eyes.
"Get ready, I want to go back to my parents' house." She told the maid beside her.
"Yes!" The maid went out and ordered someone to prepare the carriage.
Chu Mingcui knew she shouldn't have been like this, but she was really fed up.
She didn't want to keep coaxing and guiding him like this. If it was effective, she might as well.
But he's just a loser.
She didn't know if she could hold on.
She really regretted why she chose him in the first place.
Now that Brother Hao is favored by the Emperor and the Emperor has recovered from his illness, his chances are the greatest.
Returning to her parents' home, she went to stay with her grandmother, who had been ill since she lost her voice.
She kept waiting until Chu Shoufu came back in the evening.
When Chu Shoufu saw her, he said coldly: "Princess, please follow me to the study."
Chu Mingcui responded, "Yes!"
Entering the study, Chu Shoufu took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack. He was dressed in black brocade with bat patterns, looking majestic and solemn.
He sat behind the rosewood desk and glanced at Chu Mingcui with a deep look, "What happened when King Qi was assassinated?"
Chu Mingcui naturally did not dare to hide it and said: "My granddaughter did it."
Chu Shoufu said coldly: "You are becoming more assertive in doing things now."
"My granddaughter is also forced to do so, thinking that this is the only way to divert attention and make people think that things outside the city are also being framed and that someone wants to deal with Prince Qi's palace." Chu Mingcui said aggrievedly.
"Then did your plan succeed? Can you hide it from the King of Chu?" Chu Shoufu said coldly.
A flash of pain flashed through Chu Mingcui's eyes, and she almost choked for breath, "He... my granddaughter never thought he was so heartless."
Chu Shoufu sneered, "Do you think King Chu is really confused? After you got married, he should have figured out that among the emperor's sons, the smartest one is King Chu. Even your little tricks can't be hidden.
He? He simply overestimates his abilities!"
Chu Mingcui knelt down and said sadly: "Grandpa, I regret it. I shouldn't have chosen King Qi in the first place. Please help me."
Chu Shoufu slowly picked up the pipe on the table, filled it with shredded tobacco, and said in a gloomy voice: "Today, I am in the imperial study, and the emperor wishes me good luck."
Chu Mingcui lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Are you really pregnant?" Chu Shoufu lit the tobacco, took a puff, and slowly exhaled. The smoke lingered, making his face look very deep.
Chu Mingcui shook his head and said softly: "No."
"So, what are your plans!" Chu Shoufu seemed to have known it for a long time, and there was no anger in his voice.
A trace of evil flashed in Chu Mingcui's eyes, and she said: "My granddaughter has already thought about it. In a few days, she will organize a banquet in the mansion and invite my sister-in-law and celebrities from the capital to attend. I will also invite Yuan Qingling. By then, my granddaughter will
There is a way to make her bear the crime of causing me to have an abortion."
Chu Shoufu laughed and said, "That's great. I have already thought of a solution."
"Grandpa will never worry about this," Chu Mingcui said.
Chu Shoufu nodded, "Well, in that case, in a few days, the Queen Mother will send the imperial doctor out of the palace to check your pulse and stabilize the fetus. Have you also thought of a way?"
Chu Mingcui said softly: "When the time comes, at most I will give you some money."
Chu Shoufu's eyes flashed, "So, do you think that matters related to the emperor's heir can be solved with a little money?"
Chu Mingcui was startled for a moment, "The salary of the imperial doctor in the palace is not high. Who doesn't like money?"
"Yes, everyone likes silver, but no one wants to see their head fall to the ground. Since Princess Qi thinks she can solve it, then just solve it according to your method." Chu Shoufu obviously had no intention of telling her.
.
Chu Mingcui quickly raised his head and said, "Grandpa, what else can be done about this matter? My granddaughter is confused and stupid. Please ask your grandfather for advice."
"No, no, you are very smart and can make your own decisions in everything. You can even find someone to assassinate your husband. You are very capable."
Chu Mingcui was panicked for a moment, "Grandpa, are you angry? My granddaughter is wrong, and she knows she is wrong. From now on, she will do whatever grandpa tells her to do."
Chu Shoufu then slowly said: "Okay, in that case, tomorrow you will go to the palace to plead guilty, take charge of the city gate matter, and also inform you about the misunderstanding of the pregnancy."
Chu Mingcui was horrified, "Grandpa, how is this possible? You are trying to kill your granddaughter."
Chu Shoufu said: "As long as King Qi has a way to survive, you will have a way to survive. Now that things have happened, I might as well tell you that the emperor has already planned to deal with you. If you go to the palace to plead guilty, you can still get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, let's see what you do.
Are you lucky enough to secure your position as Princess Qi?"
