The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

"In the past few days, I have thought about it over and over again countless times, and I really can't think of anything strange or suspicious. I even thought about it carefully before and after Concubine Gu's miscarriage, but I can't think of anything special..."

Yan Muxi interrupted Yan Muqing hastily, "Gu Yunlan also had a miscarriage?"

Yan Muqing nodded and shook her head, "It's not a miscarriage. She went into labor eight months early, and after a day and a night of difficult labor, she gave birth to a male fetus that was lifeless."

Although Yan Mujun had not watched many palace fighting dramas, she had heard of quite a few of them. She felt that Yan Muqing and Gu Yunlan must have been tricked by others.

"Does the Crown Prince have many wives and concubines? The wives and concubines in your Eastern Palace fight too much and that's why they are harming each other's offspring."

Yan Muqing thought about it and denied Yan Muyun's statement, "I can be sure that the miscarriage has nothing to do with the fight between the wife and concubine."

In his previous life, the crown prince had only three concubines besides her and two concubines, and they were all given to him by Empress Xue. The three concubines were old ladies who served Empress Xue. After entering the Eastern Palace, they were very well behaved and did not cause any trouble until the Eastern Palace was destroyed.

If it wasn't for the wives and concubines fighting, who else would want to persecute the children of the Eastern Palace? Yan Muxi suddenly remembered that in Yan Muqing's dream, the prince was persecuted to death by Prince Rui, "Could it be that Prince Rui and Concubine Li did it?"

"It's unlikely. In addition to the fact that the Eastern Palace has no children, the Rui Palace has not had any healthy children born in many years. Only a concubine of low birth gave birth to a baby boy, but he was an idiot and died before he was one year old."

Besides the fact that there were no children in the Prince Rui's Mansion, Yan Muqing felt that it was unlike Concubine Li and Prince Rui to use underhanded means to harm their offspring. The methods used by Concubine Li and her son were all openly displayed. It was not that they were so upright, but that they could not harm people without anyone knowing.

Yan Muxi was really shocked this time. Yan Muqing had been the Crown Princess for twelve years, but when she died, Prince Rui was already over thirty years old and had no children.

"Besides Prince Rui's Mansion, what about the other princes? They don't have any offspring, do they?"

Seeing Yan Muqing nod, Yan Muxi was so shocked that he couldn't describe it in words.

There are only two possibilities for the royal family to have no descendants. One is that they were cursed. The other is that there is a mastermind behind the scenes who does not want the Yu royal family to have any descendants.

After the shock, Yan Muxi thought of Yan Yongchen first.

In Yan Muqing's dream, Yan Yongchen sat on the position of a powerful official, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and he was still not satisfied. He must have greater ambitions and intentions.

But to overthrow the imperial power, ambition alone is not enough. Even if it is a rebellion, one must hold military power, win the support of the majority of the people, and have a legitimate excuse to ascend to the throne.

How could Yan Yongchen, a farmer's son with no background, possibly usurp the throne?

Yan Muxi retracted her thoughts and returned to the problem she was facing. "Who knew that my elder sister was pregnant?"

Regardless of whether the miscarriage was caused by supernatural powers or human intervention, the child was already in Yan Muqing's belly and she couldn't give it up, so she could only find a way to keep the child.

"I only told you two." Yan Muqing thought for a moment, "I haven't changed clothes for more than a month. Lan Shuang and He Ying, who serve me personally, probably guessed something."

"Mother didn't tell me, right?" Yan Muxi felt a little uneasy. If Su knew about it, it meant that Yan Yongchen also knew about it. If the person behind it was related to Yan Yongchen, the child would probably still be difficult to save.

Yan Muqing shook his head and denied it, "No."

In fact, Yan Muqing also suspected Yan Yongchen. In her previous life, she always thought that Yan Yongchen was King Rui's man. Now King Rui was easily deprived of his title, but Yan Yongchen was not affected at all and was still the emperor's favorite. This was enough to show that Yan Yongchen was not truly loyal to King Rui.

"Then don't tell anyone. It's fine if only a few of us know that my elder sister is pregnant." Yan Muxi felt that it was impossible to keep it secret openly, so she could only try to cover it up. As long as she kept it a secret well, there would be hope that she could survive until full-term delivery.

As for what happens after the baby is born, we'll talk about it later! Anyway, there is no better solution at the moment.

Yan Muqing thought about it for a while and understood what Yan Muxi meant. Yan Muxi wanted her to hide the fact that she was pregnant, but how could she possibly hide it!

The most she could do was to stay in the East Palace and the West Palace before giving birth, but every month the Imperial Hospital would routinely check her pulse. The body could conceal the truth, but the pulse could not be deceived.

Yan Muxi had thought of her concerns long ago. "There are drugs that can change a person's pulse. Big sister, you should handle it on your own for a while. I will send someone to Jiangnan. The results will be available in more than a month at the latest."

Minghui can make pills that can weaken people's pulses, and should be able to make medicine that can confuse people's pulses. Now he must help Yan Mucheng cover up his pulse and deceive the imperial physician.

After coming out of Yaqingyuan, the three sisters met Yan Muruo.

Yan Murou was led by her personal maid and greeted the three people obediently.

"Where are you going, Sister Rou?" Yan Muxi asked with a smile.

Yan Murou looked at the maid beside her, and the maid hurriedly said, "I will accompany Miss Nine to Fuju Garden."

Yan Muxi asked again, "Is it grandma who wants to see my ninth sister?"

"Yes, the old lady said she was bored and wanted Miss Nine to come over to keep her company and have some fun." The maid replied honestly.

The old lady was so bored that she asked a mute child to keep her company. Yan Muxi couldn't guess whether she was really bored or just pretending to be.

Yan Murou has been in the Yan Mansion for more than half a year, but she still doesn't speak. She communicates with people by nodding and shaking her head, just like a mute.

The old lady has always been impatient to deal with her granddaughters, so why is she interested in a disfigured little mute?

Yan Muxi squatted down, looked at Yan Muruo at eye level, and asked softly, "Sister Rou, have you been eating well recently?"

Seeing Yan Murou nodded timidly, she continued, "As long as Sister Rou is willing to eat well and listen to Mother, Second Sister will bring you a lot of delicious cakes, beautiful silk flowers, and beautiful clothes."

Yan Muruo's eyes sparkled, and she nodded repeatedly at Yan Muxi, and patted her chest to show that she would be obedient.

Yan Muxi rubbed her bun and said, "Then Sister Rou, go to Fujuyuan quickly, don't let grandma wait anxiously!"

When she heard that they were going to Fujuyuan, the light in Yan Murou's eyes dimmed instantly, but she still followed the maid obediently.

It was obvious that the little girl didn't like going to Fujuyuan to accompany the old lady.

Seeing the master and servant walking away, Yan Muqing asked Yan Muxi, "Second sister seems to like ninth sister very much?"

"Who can not like such a well-behaved and sensible child?" Yan Muxi stood up, walked to Yan Muqing, and briefly told Yan Muqing about the female witch doctor and also told her his own guess.

Hearing her say that Yan Muruo was the daughter of a witch doctor, and that the witch doctor might be a relative of the old lady, Yan Muqing suddenly remembered something.

In her previous life, when Gu Yuelan gave birth to a stillborn baby, an imperial physician had speculated that since the fetus looked normal, it did not die from suffocation, but rather from an attack of a poisonous insect.
