When Xiao Fei became the crown prince, Xiao Yi had already been imprisoned in the cold palace. In order to humiliate him, Xiao Fei often stripped him of his clothes and made him crawl like a dog in public.

Later, Ye Yanran was made queen by King Zheng because of her beautiful appearance. Xiao Fei specially brought Xiao Yi to Ye Yanran's coronation ceremony in order to humiliate them both.

In the end, Xiao Yi couldn't bear it anymore and died by hitting his head against a pillar in the hall where Ye Yanran was crowned as the Queen.

But Ye Yanran didn't care. At that time, Xiao Fei and Ye Yanran were fighting to the death. The death of Xiao Yi could not hurt Ye Yanran at all.

If Xiao Fei had not died young and accidentally fell into the frozen river and drowned while fighting, it would be hard to say who would win between him and Ye Yanran.

Thinking of this, Ye Jintang wondered if he could make use of Xiao Fei. As long as Xiao Fei was strong enough, he would be able to restrain Xiao Yi and Ye Yanran in a short period of time, leaving them no time to care about them who were far away in Ningchuan Prefecture.

Ye Jintang immediately told Xiao Mo what he was thinking.

"I will write a letter to Wu Wei in a while, asking him to pay attention to Xiao Fei. If Xiao Yi bullies someone too much, he can give him a hand and make sure Xiao Fei doesn't die."

"Jintang, you think too highly of Xiao Fei. He was too dull in the Zheng Palace before, so he was not liked by the Zheng Prince. Otherwise, how could he be sent as a hostage?"

Xiao Mo didn't know that Xiao Fei would be a murderous man in the future. Judging from the current situation, Xiao Fei had almost no use.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This Xiao Fei is definitely not as simple as he appears to be."

Although Xiao Mo didn't know why Ye Jintang was so optimistic about Xiao Fei, he still chose to trust her and everything went according to her plan.

At the same time, Xiao Yi had just finished the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince and was feeling very proud of himself when suddenly news came from the backyard that Concubine Gu was pregnant and had been pregnant for more than two months, and the fetus was very stable.

Ever since Ye Yanran gave birth to his eldest son, Xiao Yi has had many women around him, but none of them could give birth to a son or daughter for him. Because of this, Xiao Yi has been often criticized by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.

Now that Concubine Gu was pregnant, Xiao Yi was naturally very happy.

"Let's go and check on Concubine Gu."

Xiao Yi went to Gu Congyun's Zuiyunxuan very happily.

A lot of rewards came with him, so Xiao Yi naturally stayed in Zuiyunxuan that night.

Ye Yanran also received the news that Gu Congyun was pregnant at the first opportunity.

"How is this possible? Hasn't Gu Congyun been taking contraceptive pills? How could she be pregnant?"

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Maybe Concubine Gu stopped taking tonic medicine recently, which is why she got pregnant by accident."

Su Shu, the maidservant beside Ye Yanran, carefully handed a cup of tea to Ye Yanran.

This incident was quite irritating to her, and she hoped she could drink a cup of tea to calm down, so that those who served her would not suffer the consequences.

"What a bunch of idiots! If Concubine Gu stopped taking the tonic, why didn't you guys give any news?"

Ye Yanran raised her hand, and the teacup in her hand flew out and landed right at Yu Xiang's feet, scaring Yu Xiang so much that she almost cried.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Gu brews tonic medicine every day, and I also put contraceptive pills in it on time. I really don't know why Concubine Gu suddenly got pregnant."

"None of you can make this Crown Princess worry-free. Come up with a solution. Concubine Gu cannot keep this child."

Ye Yanran knew very well that if Gu Congyun gave birth to a little grandson, it would directly threaten his son's status.

At least before her son was ten years old, she would never allow any other boys to be born in the Prince's Mansion, and even if there was one, she would find a way to kill it.

"Your Majesty, this may be a bit difficult. Concubine Gu never likes to go out, and now that she is pregnant, I am afraid she will not leave Zuiyunxuan even more."

"If she doesn't want to come out, then you can just reach into Zuiyunxuan. Madam Yao left so many poisons in the past. If you take out any of them, it will be enough to make Gu Congyun drink a pot of poison."

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

Although Su Shu was unsure, she had no choice but to agree.

Ye Yanran was in a bad mood, and none of them had an easy time.

Similarly, since Gu Congyun had finally gotten pregnant, she naturally had to be extra careful.

"Your Highness, ever since I found out I was pregnant, I have always felt uneasy. I want my mother to stay at the Crown Prince's Mansion for a while and leave after the pregnancy is stable."

Gu Congyun leaned against Xiao Yi very gently. She was not supposed to sleep with him today, but she thought of other ways to serve Xiao Yi to his satisfaction.

Now she said she wanted her mother to stay at the Prince's Mansion for a while, and he agreed readily.

"Take good care of Xiaoyun. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse and ask for it. You must take good care of this baby."

Xiao Yi was in a good mood and gently stroked Gu Congyun's belly. He had only one child and was looking forward to this one.

"I will definitely protect Lin'er well."

While saying this, Gu Congyun looked indifferent, but he had already cursed Ye Yanran in his heart.

If it wasn't for her, how could she have miscarried her first child.

Let's wait and see, she doesn't believe that Ye Yanran can reach out to her again.

Gu Congyun's mother was Aunt Su, a concubine in the Prince of Changping's Mansion. Because she was promoted from the princess's maid to a noble concubine, she had quite a bit of status in the Prince of Changping's Mansion.

Early the next morning, she brought several capable maids to stay at the Prince's Mansion.

"My lady, are you all right?"

Aunt Su looked at Gu Congyun's rosy face and her eyes turned red with excitement.

If it wasn't for the benefit of the palace, she really wouldn't be willing to send her daughter to the prince's palace to be a concubine.

After all, the so-called concubine was nothing more than a concubine. Even if Xiao Yi ascended the throne as emperor in the future, she would still be just a concubine and would always have to kneel down to the empress.

She herself was a concubine, so she naturally knew the hardships involved. She had thought about it before. She didn't seek wealth and glory, but only a stable life. She wanted to find a woman from an ordinary family to be Gu Congyun's wife, and live an ordinary life there.

As a result, after many twists and turns, she still became someone else's concubine. Whenever Aunt Su thought about it, she felt uncomfortable.

Especially after her first miscarriage, she regretted it deeply.

"Mom, don't cry. I'm pregnant now. If you cry, I will cry too."

Gu Congyun gently wiped the tears from the corners of Aunt Su's eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, mother."

Aunt Su wiped away her tears and it took her a long time to calm down.

She asked the maid who served her to watch outside the house and not let anyone approach.

"Xiao Yun, it seems that the tonic you take on a daily basis has indeed been tampered with, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get pregnant as soon as you stopped taking the medicine. Have you asked someone to check what's going on?"

"I have been sending people to keep an eye on the tonic, but I didn't find any clues in the past few months. I finally found the flaw recently."
