Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

Madam Lin hugged her daughter and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Your father and brother are still in the outer hall, not to mention that His Majesty and the ladies are all here."

Chan Yi nodded, feeling a little relieved, but still couldn't help looking around. She noticed that everyone was looking outside in panic, and even His Majesty, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked unhappy.

The lady playing the zither had stopped playing and was standing there at a loss, her fingers still hanging on the strings, as if she didn't know what to do.

After a while, a palace servant came in and called away Mrs. Li and Li Wanqing. For a moment, everyone began to whisper, guessing what had just happened.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jing Hao stood up, walked quickly to the emperor's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Then, he hurried out of the back hall, leaving everyone with a puzzled look on their faces.

"Everyone, please be patient. Someone outside might be drunk and accidentally broke the wine cup. Please don't panic. Miss Wang, please continue playing. I am listening attentively. Why did you stop suddenly?" After all, Empress Xiao was a person who had seen the world. She smiled calmly and said, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"You'er, why don't you pour some wine for your father? Ever since you went to Jiangyin Prefecture, your father and I have missed you so much." Empress Xiao felt very complicated as she looked at the Fourth Prince whom she had brought up since childhood.

"Father," Jingyou held up the golden pot with two dragons and pearls and knelt at the emperor's feet to fill his wine glass, "I have no other wishes, I just hope that father and mother are in good health."

"You'er." The emperor nodded and patted his son's hand gently. "When you get married and have children, your father and mother will be relieved. Jiangyin Prefecture is a wealthy place, but you are alone now, and you are always too lonely."

"Father," Jingyou looked in the direction of Chanyi and was about to speak when he heard someone crying.

"Your Majesty, Queen, please save my Zan'er. He has been well-behaved since he was a child. How could he do such a thing? He must have been framed..."

Mrs. Li pushed the eunuch's hand away with tears and snot, kneeling on the ground and speaking repeatedly.

"Take them out quickly. It's not like they are crying like this at our mother's birthday party. They just drank a few glasses and acted crazy. Do they really think something big has happened?" Jing Hao came in with a few people and took Madam Li and her daughter out.

"Everyone, come, let's raise our glasses to wish our mother a long and healthy life." Jing Hao took the wine glass from the eunuch and said loudly.

Chan Yi vaguely felt that something must have happened to the son of Li Taifu. Could that Mr. Li just now be him? She pondered in her heart, but her face remained calm, only the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She thought to herself: God is watching over us. This wretched man must have drunk too much and done something dirty. He deserves it!

Perhaps because of what happened at her birthday banquet, Empress Xiao looked a little listless and the smile on her face became forced. Even after the palace banquet was over, Empress Xiao still hadn't recovered.

Mrs. Lin originally planned to take the opportunity to stay and mention the matter of the Fourth Prince to Empress Xiao, but seeing her indifferent expression, she had to give up.

She watched the Fourth Prince pursue her daughter relentlessly, and she felt more and more uneasy. She was afraid that he would suddenly ask His Majesty to grant them a marriage. If it really came to that, the situation would be out of control.

Thinking of this, she nervously held her daughter's hand and prepared to leave the palace.

At this moment, Empress Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something important. She called out to them loudly: "Sister-in-law, Qianqian, you two stay for a while and come back to Kunning Palace with me. I have something to say to you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's heart immediately became happy. The longer the night, the more dreams there are. The sooner this matter is said, the better.

The Imperial Study Room of Tai Chi Hall.

Imperial Tutor Li knelt on the ground, his expression solemn, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, my son has just woken up. I think this matter is not simple. No matter how immoral my son is, he would never do such a cruel thing in the palace!"

"Oh." The emperor's eyes were cold. "Taifu, do you mean that the second young lady of the Gu family took the initiative to throw herself into his arms?"

"I dare not. I just suspect that my son has been set up. My son originally went out with Gu Qingfeng, the son of Marquis Changning, but when he came back, he only saw Gu Qingfeng. I suspect that he has set up a trap for my son?" said Taifu Li in a deep voice.

Today, his son had clearly gone out with Gu Qingfeng to get rid of the alcohol, but why did Gu Qingfeng come back fine while his son got into trouble?

"Master Li, how can you say such a thing? Second Miss Gu is Master Gu's biological sister. He must be crazy to do something that would ruin his own sister's reputation." Jing Hao said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, it was clearly this Li Zan who drank some yellow wine and became so bold that he became lustful and did such a thing when he saw my second sister. Now my second sister is determined to commit suicide. I ask Your Majesty to administer justice." When Gu Qingfeng heard what Tutor Li said, he could no longer bear it. He opened the study door, knelt on the ground and cried.

"Grandmaster, they are the victims of Changning Marquisate. They have the final say in this matter." The emperor was a little impatient. "Grandmaster, if you can't even take care of a son, how can I trust you to take care of those important matters!"

"Your Majesty," Li Taifu said in a low voice with a pale face, "I know my crime, but Li Zan is also a victim. Miss Gu pushed him into the lotus pond and he is half dead. He just woke up now and is covered in wounds. Your Majesty, please wait for him to wake up and tell us everything before you punish him."

"Your Majesty, my second sister is a pure and innocent noble lady, but her reputation was ruined by Li Zan. We, the Changning Marquisate, will never let this go. My mother has fainted, and my father will soon be dragged into the palace with his sick body. Your Majesty, please seek justice for our Changning Marquisate."

Gu Qingfeng regretted it deeply. It was all his fault that he left earlier. Otherwise, how could his sister fall into the tiger's mouth? This Li Zan must have looked at Miss Xiao a few more times and had lustful thoughts. He just happened to see his sister...

"Qingfeng, let's wait until Li Zan wakes up before making any plans." The emperor shook his head and said, "Fortunately, this matter has not yet become known to everyone. Once the matter is clarified, you two families can sit down and have a good talk. If this matter gets out, it will not be good for either family."

"Master Li, you should go back and wait for Li Zan to wake up!" Jing Hao said calmly.

Tutor Li walked out of the imperial study with a sullen face. As soon as he reached the outside of the hall, he saw someone waiting outside the hall. The person came over and whispered a few words to him.

"Pei Jin?" Li Taifu asked in a low voice, clenching his teeth, "Is this true or false?"
