After the wise concubine was sent back to the palace, she was anxious and uneasy.
The Queen Mother has fainted twice because of Princess Chu's fetal injury. If something happens to the Queen Mother, what will the Su family do? Today's Su family relies entirely on the Queen Mother for support.
She thought of what Lao Wu said and was frightened. Does this Yuan Qing Ling know witchcraft? She actually made Lao Wu so obsessed with it that he even said that in a critical moment, he would protect Yuan Qing Ling at all costs.
Doesn't he want his own future? No. Yuan Qingling can no longer stay by his side. Otherwise, if things go on like this, Lao Wu will lose all fighting spirit and become a complete coward.
She had to think of a way.
In the blink of an eye, it was early April, and Yuan Qing had suffered a serious injury. The days of recuperation had not yielded any results. He was still resting in bed.
Everyone thought that Yuan Qingling was going to give birth at the end of March. However, at the beginning of April, there was no movement from her. This was very anxious.
In total, it has been nine months.
I don’t know if the royal family of the Northern Tang Dynasty really committed a crime this year or what. The Queen Mother fell ill, and even the Supreme Emperor suffered from angina pectoris. It was really a leaky house and it rained all night. It was as big as a mountain for the head of Emperor Ming Yuan.
This seems to really confirm what the troubled people said, that the royal family is unethical, which is why the royal family has problems one after another.
Emperor Ming Yuan was anxious and began to feel a little powerless. Whether he admitted it or not, he was already in his forties, and he knew that the reserve position could not remain vacant forever.
In the study room of Prince An's Mansion.
Ah Ru lit the incense and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you at ease now? After all this, Princess Chu may not have the strength to have a child anymore."
King An closed his eyes, but he still had a frown on his face.
Seeing this, Ah Ru came over and asked, "Why is the prince worried?"
King An opened his eyes and looked at Ah Ru with a cold look, "You said that the abbot of Huguo Temple moved into Prince Chu's Mansion early, is it really just for praying?"
Aru thought for a moment and said, "What else can a great monk do other than pray for blessings?"
King An slowly shook his head, "I'm afraid not, but you still remember that Duke Xiaoyao had a good relationship with him. He once gave Duke Xiaoyao many spiritual beasts and strange medicines. Does he know medical skills?"
"The current situation of Princess Chu cannot be resolved by just one or two people who know medical skills. The prince is too worried," A Ru said.
King An waved his hand, "No, we were too imprudent before and underestimated Princess Chu. Now we must not underestimate other people. We must be foolproof. Lao Wu has never believed in gods and Buddhas, but now we invited him early.
When I came to take charge of the palace, I felt something was fishy."
A Ru said: "This Buddhist teaching is boundless, and it may be really miraculous. It's uncertain. However, he is already in the palace of Prince Chu, and ordinary people can't make him leave. Moreover, maybe he just brought medicine. Even if he leaves, then
The medicine is still there and can always help Princess Chu."
But Prince An shook his head and said, "If you just want to deliver medicine, you can just order someone to take it. Why do you have to leave the Huguo Temple and go to the Prince of Chu's palace early? It can be seen that it is not as simple as giving medicine. There must be something wrong."
King An thought for a while and then said: "Now that victory or defeat depends on this one blow, there is no chance that they will have any luck again. Ah Ru, please ask the princess to come over."
Ah Ru said softly: "Your Majesty, what the Princess can do, Ah Ru can also do."
Prince An's eyes flashed slightly, with a look of displeasure on his face, "Aru, remember your identity. You are just a counselor in the palace. You and the princess each perform their own duties. What you can do, the princess cannot do, but the princess can do it."
Yes, you can't do it. Also, don't say anything in front of the princess, let alone let her know what we are planning."
Ah Ru lowered her lonely eyes and smiled bitterly, "Is the prince protecting her like this?"
King An's eyes became increasingly unhappy, "Are you trying to make me angry?"
Aru sighed softly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
When Princess An came to the study, Prince An stood up, held her hand, and said gently: "Why are you wearing so little clothes? Isn't it cold?"
Princess An smiled gently, "It's not cold, the wind is warm."
"Sit down quickly." After King An asked her to sit down, he held her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Princess Chu is about to give birth? Because of her, the Emperor and the Queen Mother fell ill one after another.
This makes me so worried."
Princess An also sighed melancholy, "No, I don't know what happened, but it suddenly became chaotic."
"I had some misunderstandings with Lao Wu before. Although the misunderstandings were cleared up later, there was still a rift. I couldn't go over to say hello. But after all, we are brothers. There is something going on in his house. I, the older brother, don't care about it and I feel sorry for it. Let's do that.
, you go to the palace to find the Concubine Xian and give her a suggestion, it will be considered as our best effort."
Princess An looked at him with some hesitation in her eyes, "Lao Wu brought people over to make trouble that day. He kept saying that you hurt his princess. What on earth is going on?"
She had wanted to ask about this for a long time, but she didn't dare to ask for fear of upsetting him.
King An frowned and said: "I am still confused about this matter. Later I asked someone to investigate and found out that my sister-in-law said something in front of him. It was probably a trick of my eldest brother, but Lao Wu didn't listen to my explanation either.
Forget it, as time goes by, he will eventually know that I have no intention of harming him."
Princess An said softly: "Yes, the prince is worried about him now, but he will always know in the future that the love between flesh and blood is deep, and there is no misunderstanding that cannot be explained clearly."
"Well, yes, then you can go to the palace tomorrow." King An held her hand and frowned again, "You still say it's not cold? Look at your hands, they are all frozen. Don't be so willful, you know?
?”
Princess An smiled timidly, "I know."
The next day, Princess An entered the palace, first greeted the Queen Mother, and then went to the palace of Concubine Xian.
Although the relationship between the Concubine Xian and the Imperial Concubine was not very harmonious, there was absolutely no resentment. After all, the Imperial Concubine's natal family was powerful and she had a high status, but she never had any airs or intention to compete.
Therefore, Concubine Xian also has a good impression of Princess An.
While talking, she couldn't help but talk about her worries. Princess An was also very sad. After thinking about it, she said: "My dear, I don't know if it's because of the unfavorable year. You see, on the day of the Chinese New Year, King Qi was assassinated, and Princess Chu was assassinated.
Up to now, things don't seem to have calmed down. Under this kind of bad luck, Princess Chu is about to give birth, which is worrying. I heard that the abbot of Huguo Temple has arrived in Beijing. Why don't I ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to invite the abbot?
Hosting the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is also a way to pray for the royal family. I hope the Emperor and the Queen Mother are in good health, and I hope Princess Chu will give birth to her child smoothly. How do you feel about it?"
The Concubine Xian is now helpless and is in despair. When a person is desperate, he will want to ask the gods and Buddhas for help.
Princess An woke her up, and she said repeatedly: "You are right, since the people have grievances, then we will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the gods and ask the gods to show their grace."
Princess An nodded, "Yes, now there is no other way but to ask for God's grace."
Concubine Xian didn't waste any more time and said: "I will go over there immediately and I won't keep you here."
Princess An stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now."
Princess An walked out. The light rain season had passed in early April. When she entered the palace, the weather was heavy and now there was raindrops.
The maid held an umbrella and walked out with her.
Princess An suddenly sighed softly, and the maid asked: "Princess, what's wrong?"
Princess An looked at the green mist in the distance with a little sadness in her eyes, "Ah Chen, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."
"Is the princess feeling unwell?" Ah Chen asked.
Princess An thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's go."
