The palace was preparing for the marriage of the young princess, and good news came from outside the palace. Princess Chaoyang was happy.
It was said that there had been news three months ago, but since the fetus was unstable, they did not announce it. Now that it is full term, they rushed to the palace to report the good news. The emperor learned about this and gave many rewards. He also invited the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.
Went to Princess Mansion again.
Only when you are sure that the fetal image of Princess Chaoyang is safe can you feel at ease.
The consort Qin Huai entered the palace to express his gratitude and stopped by the Queen's Palace. Speaking of which, Si Ningchi had not seen Qin Huai for a long time.
Qin Huai didn't want to just take the title of a prince consort and take on some rich and noble jobs. Now he has transferred to the imperial guard as a commander. He is busy all day long without his feet touching the ground. Even so, he does not rest in the guard, rain or shine.
Running back and forth, guarding Princess Chaoyang every day.
"I see you, the Queen." Qin Huai leaned over to greet him.
"Excuse me." Si Ningchi waved his hand to signal Qin Huai to take a seat. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Huai and said, "I heard that Chaoyang is pregnant. I asked someone to carry some gifts and take her out together when we leave the palace later."
"Thank you, Queen." Qin Huai stood up and bowed.
"How could Chaoyang's pregnancy be hidden for so long, and even I wouldn't reveal anything about it?" Si Ningchi frowned slightly and stared at Qin Huai and asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's all my fault." Qin Huai was not as careful when facing Si Ningchi as he was when facing the emperor. He hesitated but made it clear that in fact, the matter was originally reported earlier because Princess Chaoyang was assassinated.
.
Princess Chaoyang was assassinated when she was out and was frightened. The fetus in her belly could hardly be saved. The assassin was a colleague of Qin Huai, but this person was impeccable in his work. Qin Huai could not find any evidence. It was also the time when King Lu came to Beijing. Qin Huai did not dare to make too much publicity. On the other hand,
Princess Chaoyang didn't allow him to make a big show of himself.
This matter was kept secret. Princess Chaoyang's fetus was unstable and could slide at any time. If the emperor was alarmed at this time, Princess Chaoyang would have to worry about the emperor's mood, so she suppressed the matter.
During these days, Qin Huai finally got hold of the evidence and sent his reckless colleague to prison. He felt relieved now that the matter was over.
"You are becoming more assertive now, and I don't even say anything about such a big matter." Si Ningchi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he suddenly thought of his child who died young and felt fear in his heart.
"It's all my fault. Please punish me, the Queen." Qin Huai lifted his robe and knelt down without saying a word. It was obvious that the reason why he came to the palace to see the Queen today was to apologize. As the consort, he failed to keep the princess safe.
, he deserves death.
"Chaoyang is used to it!" Si Ningchi glared at Qin Huai, frowned and said, "Are you sure the thief is dead? No one else was behind it?"
"Now that General Han has left the capital, it is the time for the emperor to employ people. As the consort, you may inevitably attract jealousy, so you need to be careful in your actions." Si Ningchi frowned and told Qin Huai.
"I already know about this matter and will secretly let people investigate it." She raised her chin and said: "Tell Princess Chaoyang to leave the princess mansion easily. Since she is pregnant, she will stay in the mansion peacefully. If I have some free time,
, leave the palace incognito with the emperor and then go see her."
Qin Huai quickly thanked him, and finally told Si Ningchi some things about the guard station, and then left the palace with a bunch of rewards.
During dinner, Zhao Zongheng came over and asked Si Ningchi what Qin Huai had said to her. Si Ningchi changed his words and only said that it was not easy for Chaoyang to get pregnant. She was prone to miscarriage if she was not active, so she hid it.
