Chapter 425 Entering the Palace at Midnight
Jin Yuyao said in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Princess Jin said with a smile, "Yesterday during the court session, the old tutor actually reported to the emperor about the situation at the Chengwang Mansion. How come you didn't hear about it?"
Jin Yuyao shook her head: "I didn't go out yesterday."
"No wonder"
Jin Yuyao then looked at Princess Jin in confusion: "Teacher Yang?"
Princess Jin nodded and said, "That wasn't what my prince originally intended to say. Who knew that Taifu Yang would actually say it in advance?"
Jin Yuyao said, "Then Taifu Yang wasn't present the night before yesterday, so he didn't know what exactly happened."
Princess Jin said, "Teacher Yang has been ill for a while now. He hasn't been attending court lately. He was waiting for His Majesty today, but who knew he would run into Prince An on the way? It was Prince An who told him everything."
Jin Yuyao said, "So that's how it is? What did the Emperor say?"
Princess Jin said, "What else can I say? After the Grand Tutor said it, Prince An and my prince were both here to confirm it. Of course, he was severely reprimanded in front of all the civil and military officials, and was ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and not to go out."
Jin Yuyao said, "Doesn't the emperor love him the most? How could he bear to reprimand King Cheng?"
Princess Jin took a sip of tea and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It happened in front of so many people. If it hadn't happened in front of the Emperor, it would have been fine. But there were so many people there that night."
Jin Yuyao said nonchalantly, "I never thought I'd encounter something like this even when I went to see a doctor. It's truly an unprovoked disaster. Who could have imagined that Princess Cheng would deliberately frame me? I never thought she would get the upper hand. The ones who got hurt must be Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng."
Princess Jin said, "Yes, how could a nanny have the right to fight like that? But that's all we can do. You are military commanders, and when you came to the capital, there must be someone who wanted to win you over. Did you reject him?"
Jin Yuyao said, "To be honest, we just want to live a good life. Wang Jingshan also wants to protect his country and let the people live a peaceful life.
Concubine Lin has been hinting at it, but I've been avoiding it. I never expected to face it head-on."
Princess Jin comforted her, "Don't worry, even if they are rampant, they can't do anything to you, and now you have the favor of the Queen."
Jin Yuyao smiled bitterly: "We just want to do our best."
Princess Jin nodded: "Then you must be more careful in the future."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
Jin Yuyao went to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion to express her gratitude. It was because she had gone to see Prince Jin that day. She had also come here to see the old lady, but she didn't make it.
After learning from Lady Jingyuan that the old lady was fine, Jin Yuyao and Wenzhu said goodbye.
On the way back, Jin Yuyao held Wenzhu's hand and said, "I should thank you the most. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get away so quickly if you went to find Prince An and the others. You can take whatever you want from the things Prince Cheng gave you."
Wenzhu said, "Really?"
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Of course, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come out so early."
Wenzhu said, "But I don't like any of that."
Jin Yuyao looked at her and said, "What do you like? I can buy it for you."
Wen Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything I want right now. How about I tell Madam when I have it later?"
"Okay, then if you still don't have anyone you like, how about I prepare a dowry for you when you get married?"
Wen Zhu said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
The two of them were laughing and chatting in the carriage, feeling very relaxed.
The atmosphere in Concubine Lin's palace was very tense.
Concubine Lin asked, "How is Huaisu? Has he seen the emperor?"
Huaisu said cautiously, "The Emperor said he would not see anyone."
Concubine Lin said viciously, "Isn't this just because you clearly don't want me to plead for mercy?"
Huaisu persuaded her, "My Lady Concubine, I think the Emperor has always doted on you. He must be worried that you might have punished the Prince after you left. However, he didn't punish you severely. Your Lady Concubine, don't worry."
Concubine Lin said: "This princess can't even do this right. Since the child is dead, she has to find a scapegoat. She is too impatient. They don't think about the county lady's excellent medical skills. Many people in the capital have benefited from her kindness. I didn't expect that the queen would come.
Cheng'er is still a little too hasty."
Huaisu said, "The prince is probably afraid that after the general returns home, although he doesn't take sides on the surface, he has always followed Prince An and is afraid that he will be detrimental to the prince. However, Wang Jingshan is not in the capital now. If someone dies after being cured, even if she is a miracle doctor, no one will want to see her."
A smile finally appeared on Concubine Lin's beautiful face. "I was the one who pushed him up to the position of County Lady, so I can pull him down. They are just too hasty. Why should they be so anxious when I'm here? Since the Empress has no legitimate son, my son is the most likely to become the Crown Prince."
Huaisu nodded on the side.
Concubine Lin thought that she must find an opportunity to pin Jin Yuyao to the pillar of shame so that she would never be able to turn over. Since she didn't know what was good for her, don't blame her for being rude.
She couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the backyard of Prince Cheng's mansion.
Huaisu said puzzledly, "The Imperial Concubine has already figured out what to do next. What's there to sigh about?"
Concubine Lin rubbed her brows and said, "Look at the concubines in Cheng'er's house. For some reason, they either don't get pregnant or miscarry after three or four months.
I don't know what happened and now I don't have any offspring, but if you say that someone framed me, it's unlikely.
It's impossible for everyone to have a miscarriage. Princess Cheng hired someone to take care of her this time. I don't know what's going on."
After hearing this, Huaisu said, "Is it not yet the destiny for the prince to have an heir?"
Concubine Lin said, "I don't know what's going on. Huaisu, can you tell Cheng'er to come see me?"
"I'll arrange it right away."
After saying this, he walked out.
At night time.
Huaisu walked in with a man in a black cloak.
Concubine Lin knew that the emperor would not come in the next two days, and she was afraid that she would cry to him if he came.
Concubine Lin has been in the palace for so many years and understands the emperor's temperament very well.
The man in the cloak came in, took off his hat and saluted. "Mother, is there something important that made you ask me to come so late? Father just reprimanded me and forbade me to go out."
Concubine Lin asked, "What exactly happened? How could you, the princess, have miscarried after only a short period of pregnancy? Have you consulted the imperial physicians? What did they say?"
When Prince Cheng heard Concubine Lin's words, his expression turned even more sinister. He said, "It's all because of those useless women in the backyard."
Concubine Lin said, "You said there's a girl in Prince Chen's mansion. Look, none of the women in your mansion have given birth to a child. What do you think the Emperor will think? Even if your father dotes on you, it's a big deal that you don't have any children."
