It's bad! The cub raised in the space met the prince and called him daddy

Just at this moment, another young eunuch rushed in, knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted,

"My Lady, this is bad! Something big has happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion! All the cheating cases in the exams over the years and the impersonation have been verified.

They said… they said that your half-brother and half-brother were behind this to collect high bribes. They have been arrested by the Ministry of Justice. Your Majesty, can you think of a solution?"

It seemed as if the end of the world had come, and the young eunuch was so anxious that he almost fainted from crying.

"Ah? How could this happen? How could this happen?"

The two senior palace maids, Chunhua and Qiushi, were the first to exclaim.

Aunt Yao was even more shouting "Impossible, impossible" but her legs and feet suddenly went limp and she sat down on the ground with a plop.

Suddenly, she beat her chest and burst into tears.

"My queen! What can we do? Please go and ask the emperor to save the prime minister! How can the prime minister endure the suffering in prison?"

Hearing Aunt Yao's wailing, Chunhua wiped her tears and went to help her.

"Madam Yao, you get up first. Get up first! Wuuwuwu..."

Aunt Yao pushed Chunhua's hand away, slapped the floor tiles and cried bitterly,

"My queen, wuwuwu... my poor queen! Prince Rui has just been seriously injured, and something happened in the prime minister's residence. This is really a double whammy!"

Upon hearing this, there was a sudden cry in the inner hall.

Qiushi and Chunhua, who were at a loss, stepped forward and tried their best to support Aunt Yao.

What no one noticed was that at this time, Concubine Xiao's face had already become abnormal.

*

suddenly,

She cried out "Ouch!", her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

The two senior palace maids had just helped Nanny Yao up when they saw this and screamed and ran to help Concubine Xiao.

However, he was still a step too slow and was knocked to the ground by the fallen Concubine Xiao.

"Ah, blood... bleeding!"

Chunhua got up and felt something sticky on his hands. He looked up and started screaming in fear.

When Nanny Yao saw this, she no longer cared about crying for her Prime Minister!

He hurriedly helped Concubine Xiao up and shouted,

"Quick, hurry and send the queen to the delivery room. She's going to give birth prematurely! Call the midwife, go and call the midwife."

"Yes, yes."

There was a commotion in Ruyi Palace. Fortunately, the midwife had been kept in Ruyi Palace. The young eunuch was so frightened that he hurried to ask for the imperial physician!

*

at this time,

Emperor Kun was in the imperial study, furious because of the trouble caused by Prime Minister Xiao's family.

Eunuch De knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! After hearing about his father and brother, the Imperial Concubine became pregnant and is likely to give birth prematurely!"

Emperor Kun was stunned and put away his angry expression.

"What? I remember that the imperial concubine's pregnancy was less than eight months. Which gossipy servant went to spread the message and disturbed her? If he is found out, he will be beaten to death."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch De responded and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Dezi, follow me to Ruyi Palace."

Emperor Kun then stood up as well.

"Yes. Your Majesty."

The emperor hurried to Ruyi Palace.

*

In the Cining Palace over there,

Queen Qin, who was worshiping Buddha with the Queen Mother, also learned the news.

"Mother, Concubine Xiao is having a miscarriage and may be giving birth prematurely. Your daughter-in-law will go and take a look."

Although the Queen Mother disliked Concubine Xiao, she thought that she was carrying a son, so she stood up and said,

"Queen, I will go with you. This is such a sin! The baby is only eight months old, and I don't know if it can be saved.

What a fool she is. She is so old but she doesn't care about her own health. She only cares about her family.

If they really wanted to do good for her, why would they do such unscrupulous things as buying and selling official positions, extorting money, etc.? ! "

The Queen Mother angrily blamed Concubine Xiao. At this time, she didn't know that her second grandson, Prince Rui, was injured.

Queen Qin hurried forward to support and comfort her.

"Queen Mother, please don't worry. With the imperial physician and the experienced midwife, nothing will happen."

"Oh! I hope so! Amitabha."

After a while, the Empress Dowager and Queen Qin also hurried to Ruyi Palace.

*

The news that Concubine Xiao's father, the prime minister, and half brothers had committed serious crimes quickly spread throughout the palace.

When Concubine De and Concubine Xian gathered together, secretly rejoicing that Concubine Xiao's family was going to be in big trouble this time, they heard the head palace maid hurriedly report,

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is having a miscarriage and is going to give birth prematurely!"

"Premature birth? Wasn't she only eight months old?"

Concubine De was a little surprised.

The virtuous concubine curled her lips and said,

"Sister Defei, do you think her belly looks like it's eight months old?"

"Don't talk nonsense, are you questioning the emperor?"

De Fei's reprimand made Xian Fei realize that she had said something wrong. Her face turned pale and she tried to make amends by saying,

"Sister Defei, I said the wrong thing. But I'm curious, her belly is so big, why didn't Imperial Doctor Niu say how many there were? Why let people guess blindly?!"

"You! It's understandable that people keep it a secret since the child hasn't been born yet."

Concubine De, who was holding a string of jade beads in her hand, scolded again.

*

The virtuous concubine rolled her eyes and said angrily,

"If she gave birth to twins, wouldn't her fame go up to the sky?

Maybe, the serious crime committed by Prime Minister Xiao and his family this time will be reduced to a minor one? ! Alas! It is really frustrating to compare yourself with others. "

Concubine De rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily,

"Xianfei, be careful with your words! Do you think our emperor is a soft-hearted person? Don't forget, ever since Concubine Xiao became pregnant and didn't go out easily, the emperor has visited her less often. Haven't you thought about it?

The crown prince was deposed, and the Xiao family encountered troubles one after another. I always feel something is strange. I don’t know if this is a deliberate move by the emperor.”

Xian Fei was stunned, her mind was a little confused, she blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion,

"Ah? Sister Defei, does the emperor want to make our third prince the crown prince?"

After saying this, she slapped her forehead and said,

"That's not right! Sister Defei, the matter of the private soldiers has not been investigated clearly yet.

You and I both know that our two families were framed and wronged, but we have no evidence and cannot prove our innocence.

Now my father and your father are still confined at home waiting for the result. You said, after our two families collapsed...

Could it be... Could it be that the Emperor's real intention is to make the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince?"

After hearing this, Concubine De was silent for a moment.

*

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said,

“Remember, stay constant in the face of change.

The emperor must have a plan in mind regarding the private army.

Regardless of whether the Xiao family collapses or not, whether Prince Rui and the Fourth Prince will be able to compete for the position of Crown Prince in the future.

The next step will be a test for our Third Prince. Please give him some instructions."

The virtuous concubine nodded heavily.

Then I heard Concubine De say,

"Let's go! Concubine Xiao is about to give birth, let's go and take a look."

After a while, the two of them went to Ruyi Palace together.

*

Not long after the two left, Concubine Wan, who had received the news, smiled strangely and said to her personal maid,

"Let's go, it's time for us to go to Ruyi Palace."
