After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

At that time, Zhao Jianing didn't know why she wanted to raise Ye Zhiqiu's child by her side. Maybe it was because she had just lost her child, or for some other reason, she no longer remembered.

In short, although she kept the child, she really didn't like her.

So since childhood, she threw Shen Yihuan into a dilapidated yard and randomly found a few people to serve her.

Because of her neglect, everyone in the prime minister's mansion knew that the second young lady in their mansion was not liked by her own biological mother.

Except for the midwife and a few imperial doctors, no one in the mansion knew the truth. No one else knew that the baby had died when the princess gave birth.

This child, the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion, was actually stolen from the palace. Apart from the wet nurse, only a few capable maids around Zhao Jianing knew about this.

Therefore, the people in the mansion could never understand why a biological mother could be so cruel to her own flesh and blood.

But later, a rumor gradually spread that the reason why the eldest princess did not like the second girl was because she had asked for divination at the temple that year, and the result was obviously a boy, but it turned out to be a girl. How could the eldest princess not be angry?

Therefore, the eldest princess took out all her anger on the innocent Shen Yihuan.

As for the Prime Minister, because he has a long-term bad relationship with the eldest princess, he doesn't like the second daughter, let alone the eldest daughter.

So although he found Shen Yihuan's experience strange, he chose to ignore it because it was Zhao Jianing's child.

The servants in the mansion were all people who knew how to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Seeing that even her own parents did not love the Second Young Lady, they became even more presumptuous in front of her.

Cold words are still good. Some people even withhold food and clothing. Little people sometimes shiver with cold in winter.

It can be said that Shen Yihuan's entire childhood was unfortunate. She did not understand at the beginning and longed for maternal love. As she grew up, she recognized the reality and accepted it. However, she could not understand why her mother loved her sister so much, but she was not even as good as a blade of grass.

Every time I went to see her, she looked impatient and didn't want to see her at all.

It was because of her attitude that her life in the prime minister's mansion became difficult.

To be honest, when she was very young, she felt resentment and didn't understand why her mother hated her so much. But as she grew up, she gradually stopped worrying about it and gradually became indifferent to it.

After all, it's not worth it if you care too much about someone who doesn't love you.

These are all things that happened later. As for what happened now, when Ye Zhiqiu woke up in the palace, the first thing he did was to look for his child.

But she was told that she had given birth to a dead child. When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he felt like he had been struck by lightning and was unwilling to believe it.

That was the child she had worked so hard to give birth to. She risked her life and gritted her teeth to give birth to the child. At the moment the child was born, she clearly heard the child's loud cry, but now someone told her that her child was dead. How could she accept this?

"Child, where is my child?!" Veins bulged on her forehead and she screamed loudly.

The palace maid standing beside her walked towards her hesitantly, holding a swaddling baby in her arms.

Ye Zhiqiu seemed to realize something. He suddenly jumped off the bed and walked barefoot to the swaddling clothes.

When she was still one meter away from the cradle, she stopped and suddenly felt a little timid in her heart. She stretched out her hands slightly and found that her hands were shaking badly.

Her face turned even paler. She took a deep breath and, as if she had used up all her courage in her life, slowly walked towards the cradle.

Ye Zhiqiu gently lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes and saw the baby's purple face. With slightly trembling hands, she reached towards the tip of the baby's nose.

When the hand reached under the child's nose, tears suddenly flowed out.

"My child, my child!!!"

This is the sound of a mother who lost her child and couldn't bear it for a moment, so she screamed. Miserable, sad, and desperate.

At the same time, Zhao Yong felt something in his heart while offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple. He touched his heart, which was suddenly beating wildly. He had a premonition that something had happened to his beloved concubine. After having this feeling in his heart, he could not calm down, so he asked his secret guard to go back to the palace to calm his mind.

As a result, when the secret guard came back and told him that his beloved was really in trouble, he was extremely worried. On the one hand, there was a sacrifice to the ancestral temple, which all emperors of all dynasties could not miss, and on the other hand, his beloved concubine was heartbroken because of the loss of her child, and it was the time when he needed to go back and comfort her.

However, for the emperor, things have their priorities. No matter how much he cares about Ye Zhiqiu, he cannot abandon such a big thing.

In the end, it was Shen Guihong who discovered that something was wrong. When he asked why such a thing had happened in the palace, he immediately volunteered.

When Zhao Yong saw how active he was, he was so angry that he almost threw the thing in his hand at him. He knew that this guy still had feelings for his beloved concubine, but it was really infuriating to see him being so unscrupulous in front of him.

However, no matter how angry he was, at this point, he was the only one who could go back to help.

So, Zhao Yong suppressed the bitterness in his heart and agreed to let Shen Guihong go back first.

After getting Zhao Yong's permission, Shen Guihong rode back at full speed overnight. After arriving in Beijing, he did not go back to the prime minister's residence, but went directly to the palace.

After hurrying along the way, he finally arrived outside Ye Zhiqiu's palace. He was a little hesitant. He suddenly felt a sense of homesickness.

After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind and took the first step.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" The palace maids in Ye Zhiqiu's palace were stunned when they saw that the visitor was a foreign official.

Shen Guihong knew that it was not right for him to appear in the harem with his identity, which was why he could have come here without telling Zhao Yong, but he went to the trouble of asking for his consent.

Seeing the other party's suspicious face, Shen Guihong quickly explained: "Your Majesty knows that the queen is in trouble. Because he has to perform the sacrifice and cannot get away, he asked me to come and see the queen."

As he spoke, he took out the token of his majesty. It was thanks to this item that he was able to enter the palace without any obstacles.

When the palace maid saw the token, she quickly made way for him and walked quickly inside with Shen Guihong while replying.

"You don't know, my Lord, that the Empress has been devastated since she found out that her baby was gone after giving birth. She hasn't had a drop of water or food for several days. You should go and try to comfort her."

Shen Guihong didn't expect the situation to be so bad. He became worried and walked faster.
