Jin Palace.
Prince Jin was drinking heavily early in the morning.
He was in a very good mood at the moment, just because he heard the news from Prince Qi's Mansion.
"The eldest grandson of the emperor, huh..." He turned the wine glass, "It's just a stillborn baby, don't even think about taking up this title."
Before this, he had always been worried that Mo Yaohua would really give birth to a son, so he asked his spies to find an opportunity to drug her but failed.
Now that others have done what he wanted to do but couldn't do, he can reap the benefits and finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he was also a little curious about who was so powerful that he could do something right under Chu Xuanhan's nose.
The woman who was waiting on the side was his new favorite concubine. "What the prince said is absolutely right, so you still have a chance to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jin was displeased, "Why don't you try harder? I have given you so many chances, but you can't even give birth to a son."
The concubine was servile and fawning, "It's all my fault. I wanted to give birth to a son for the prince as soon as possible, but unfortunately my belly is not doing well."
King Jin's face darkened, "My patience is limited. If you can't get pregnant again, don't blame me for being ruthless. Try changing your clothes."
Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. For him, limbs can be broken, but clothes can be changed whenever he wants, after all, clothes are better when they are new.
The concubine was also anxious, "Yes, my lord, I will try my best. Please give me a chance and don't abandon me."
Even though she knew that after giving birth to a son, she would not be able to raise him under her name, she could still gain status as a mother because of her son, and from then on she could truly live a life of luxury.
The Prince of Jin is fickle-minded and his favor alone cannot last long. Most of the women in the backyard of the mansion hope to give birth to a son.
At the same time, Lantingyuan.
Li Ying had finished her breakfast and was taking a rest, preparing to go to the front yard to do housework later.
Meixiang had just learned about what happened in Prince Qi's mansion and hurried in to report it.
Li Ying listened with deep sighs, "The son I risked my life to give birth to turned out to be stillborn?"
Meixiang nodded, "That's what's being said outside, it shouldn't be wrong, now the prince can rest assured."
If it was fake news, the Prince Qi's Mansion would have already taken action. How could they allow it to spread? Only true news can be allowed to spread.
Li Ying thought of the child she had lost, "This must be fate. I couldn't keep the baby after seven months of pregnancy."
Cai Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Ah... There are only the principal wife and concubines in the backyard of Prince Qi's mansion. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
Li Ying reminded her, "Have you forgotten that when that person miscarried, we were the only ones in the backyard, me and her?"
It was for this reason that Prince Jin and Shen Xiyue both agreed that she was the one who did it, and later on, in order to seek revenge, they even killed her child.
Her child was too young at the time and turned into a pool of blood. She didn't know whether it was a son or a daughter.
Cai Qing suddenly realized and said, "I understand now. This is not just a matter of jealousy between women, but may involve the court."
Since it involved the court, they would not discuss it further. Li Ying rested for a while and then went to the front yard with two maids.
***
House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
Mo Yun took a leave today and wanted to go to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Mo Yaohua is his daughter, and now that such a tragedy has happened, he should go and see her.
He first sent someone to deliver the visiting card, and then went to Yishoutang and told him about Mo Yaohua with a frown.
Madam Mo wore a headband on her head and leaned against the headboard weakly, "How could this be? He is the eldest grandson of the emperor."
She has not recovered since she caught a cold last month. Her condition has been fluctuating and she has been bedridden most of the time.
Mo Yun couldn't stop feeling regretful, "Who says it's not true? But he died at birth, so he can't possibly be the emperor's eldest grandson."
After the child is born, he must be named first. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, he may need to be named by Emperor Wenzong before he can be reported and recorded in the royal imperial book.
As long as it is successfully recorded in the Jade Book, even if the child dies the next moment, it will not be affected and the child will still be the emperor's eldest grandson.
But this was a stillbirth, so there was no need to give it a name. How could it be qualified to be recorded in the Jade Book? Mo Yaohua gave birth to a son in vain.
The moment Mo Yun heard the news, he was heartbroken. This was not only Mo Yaohua's reliance, but also his greatest hope.
Madam Mo blamed, "Doesn't Prince Qi like the concubine? Why didn't he send a few more people to protect her? He let the concubine fall into such a scheme."
Mo Yun explained, "Prince Qi naturally dotes on his concubine, but it's hard to guard against people's hearts, and there are so many people in Prince Qi's mansion, it's hard to guard against them, there's nothing we can do."
Madam Mo opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly she felt an itch in her throat and couldn't help coughing, "Ahem..."
She didn't have time to raise her hand, and her saliva splashed when she coughed. Although Mo Yun was beside her, she tilted her head and faced him when she spoke.
As a result, Mo Yun, who was sitting on a chair beside the bed, was unable to dodge and was sprayed with saliva in his face, which faintly smelled foul.
His eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed his displeasure and asked with concern, "It's been more than a month, and mother's cold hasn't healed yet?"
Nanny Liu hurriedly came forward with a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Madam Mo's mouth. Then she stepped aside with her head down, not daring to look at them.
She knew better than anyone why the old lady had been ill for so long. It was simply because of the medicine that Jinqiu had given her.
Madam Mo wiped her mouth, her expression still awkward, "I'm old and useless now. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the New Year."
Seeing her like this, Mo Yun couldn't help but feel a little sad, "The doctor's medical skills are not very good, how about asking King Qi to find an imperial physician to come and take a look?"
His father had passed away long ago, his two daughters were married, and his wife had divorced him, leaving only his mother, two concubines, and illegitimate son.
The most important thing is that the Qiao mother and son are not close to him. If Madam Mo really leaves, he will only have Lan Ruyu and Mo Shenghua.
The huge Shangshu Mansion was so bustling a few months ago, but now its population has declined to this point. How could he not feel sad?
"Prince Qi is very busy now, how can we cause him trouble?" Old Madam Mo thought, but it was a pity that he said it too late, now was not the right time.
"How about..." Mo Yun weighed the pros and cons again and again, and asked tentatively, "Son, go find Princess Yu and try?"
Although the assassination happened a long time ago and the imperial physician of Prince Yu's Mansion had already returned to the palace, it was just a small matter for Prince Yu to ask for the imperial physician.
Madam Mo's cloudy eyes flickered, but she asked in a pretentious manner, "Will this be too much of a embarrassment for Yun'er?"
"What does it matter if a son is in trouble for his mother?" Mo Yun said this righteously, but in fact he hoped that she would refuse.
He really didn't want to face Mo Zhaohua, especially since Chu Xuanchi might be there too, so he didn't want to go to Prince Yu's Mansion even more.
Madam Mo was afraid of death and wanted the imperial physician to come and see her. She readily agreed, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Yun'er."
Mo Yun had a hard time expressing his feelings. He had wanted to pretend to be filial, but now he had to be truly filial and go to Prince Yu's Palace for her.
