I just want to rob you of your luck

Lin Jiuer gently covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and her face suddenly changed.

The slightly bulging belly has deflated.

Zhu Heng held Lin Jiuer's hand and couldn't help but choked up with sobs.

"Jiu'er, we are still young and we will have children in the future. Don't be too sad. Take good care of yourself first."

Lin Jiuer closed her eyes and sobbed, "That's my first child, a child that no one can replace!"

Zhu Heng was also feeling very uncomfortable at this moment. This was also his child whom he had poured a lot of fatherly love into.

After learning that Concubine Wan was pregnant, he came to accompany her every day. He often told stories and composed poems to Lin Jiuer's belly, and even talked about how to govern the country.

But the child died so suddenly, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Your Majesty, I want to know how Your Majesty will deal with the Second Prince?"

Zhu Heng paused, feeling a little guilty. At this moment he had a deep sense of powerlessness.

On one side was his beloved unborn child, and on the other was the child he had loved for many years.

He was in a dilemma, but he also knew that the dead are gone and the living must look forward.

He couldn't sacrifice his living child because of his deceased child, not only because he didn't have many offspring but also because he couldn't bear it.

But he is not yet ready to completely break off relations with the Zhaoguo Mansion.

Now that Concubine Zhao has been demoted to a concubine, if he does anything excessive to Zhu Zhi again, the Duke Zhao's Mansion will be forced into a corner, and it will be troublesome if they directly rebel.

He could only bite his tongue and said, "Concubine Zhao has been demoted to a concubine and confined to Yuqing Palace. The Second Prince has been imprisoned in the Prince's Residence for half a year."

Lin Jiuer looked at Zhu Heng with deep disappointment in her eyes, and then her eyes became dead silent.

"I understand. Your Majesty, please go back."

"Jiu'er, I know I have wronged you this time, but..."

"Your Majesty, I know you have your reasons. I am tired and want to rest."

Zhu Heng was speechless and couldn't say anything to comfort him, so he had to get up reluctantly.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest first, and I will come to see you later."

After Zhu Heng went out, Lin Jiuer did a somersault and got to the ground to stretch her muscles.

I felt uncomfortable every day during the period of false pregnancy, but it has finally been resolved, but the result is a bit regrettable.

It seems that Zhu Heng is still reluctant to send Concubine Zhao to the cold palace, but that is normal. As long as Duke Zhao's Mansion has not collapsed, nothing can happen to Concubine Zhao.

The second prince probably has little hope of becoming the crown prince after this incident.

That's fine. Basically, His Majesty no longer has any good feelings towards Concubine Zhao. No, it's Concubine Zhao.

Lin Jiuer opened the system task interface and saw that the task progress had reached 65%.

Well, it's okay. She happily picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea. As she was drinking it, she saw Yuling walking in with a worried look on her face.

When she came in, she was startled to see Lin Jiuer sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely.

"My lady, how can you just go out of bed? Director Liu said that you have to stay in bed for at least 30 days.

Otherwise, if she develops any disease, it will be bad for her to have children in the future."

Lin Jiuer was speechless. They wouldn't really let her lie down for thirty days, would they?

She feels refreshed now and can't wait to go out and run a thousand meters.

She was almost suffocating from pretending to be pregnant during this period of time. She couldn't do this or that.

But she can't let herself go too much, in case people suspect her of something.

She pretended to be obedient and said, "I was just a little thirsty, so I got up and poured myself a cup of tea."

Yuling blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault for coming late. The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent a lot of supplements to the queen, and I went to register them for storage.

Just now, I saw that His Majesty seemed very sad and lost when he left. In my opinion, His Majesty cares about you very much, and he must be very sad. Your Majesty, please don't be angry with His Majesty."

Lin Jiuer stared at something absentmindedly, and then sighed for a long time: "Yes, he is also feeling bad, I shouldn't take my anger out on him."

Yuling certainly hopes that His Majesty and Concubine Wan can reconcile as before, so that there will be a little master sooner or later in the future.

"Don't worry too much, madam. I will help you lie down and rest."

In Yuqing Palace, Zhao Ronger sat on a stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.

Yes, this Yuqing Palace is the most remote palace in the harem and is very close to the cold palace.

She is now just a small concubine and cannot even live in the main hall, but can only live in the side hall.

The facilities in the side hall were so rudimentary that they were not even as good as the servants' rooms in her original Yaohua Palace.

Zhao Ronger felt a tightness in her chest and didn't want to stay in the house, so she could only sit on the stone bench next to the stone table in front of the door.

Nanny Cai stood beside her, looking worried.

She didn't go with them today, and this happened. She is already old, and seeing Zhao Ronger playing such a big game every day, she feels like she can't take it anymore.

But Zhao Ronger was her child after all, and seeing her become like this, she couldn't bear to say anything to her.

"Master, don't be too sad. The Duke Zhao's Mansion is still there, and His Majesty will restore your position sooner or later."

Zhao Ronger smiled bitterly: "Mammy, His Majesty will not forgive me this time. This time, Zhier has harmed his heir, and even the queen mother who loves Zhier so much did not speak up for him."

Madam Cai suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard that the eldest master won the battle this time and will be returning triumphantly."

"He has always loved his master, and he will certainly plead for you when the time comes."

Zhao Ronger was a little confused. Now she didn’t know what would happen even if she went out.

She had made mistakes in the past, but at least the Second Prince was still there, so she still had hope.

But this time the second prince made such a mistake, Zhu Heng must have been angry with him, so how could he still have any hope of becoming the crown prince.

Nanny Cai knew that her honor and disgrace now all depended on Zhao Ronger, so she could only keep encouraging her to cheer up.

Seeing that Zhao Ronger was still listless, she couldn't help but continue to encourage her:

"Master, your father is a powerful Duke, your elder brother is a general with a large army, and your second brother is the Minister of Finance who controls the country's purse. You don't have to be afraid.

Otherwise, with the mistakes made by the Second Prince this time, other concubines would have been banished to the cold palace."

Zhao Ronger was a little puzzled: "Although my father and brother's achievements can protect me from death, what else can I do now? What's the difference between this place and the cold palace?"

"My dear lady! Do you know that the Duke Zhao's Mansion was able to support His Majesty to ascend to the throne, and it is also capable of overthrowing His Majesty's regime?"

Zhao Ronger was shocked and looked at Madam Cai in disbelief.

Even though she was now in a state of destitution and had resentment towards Zhu Heng, she had never had such a rebellious thought.

Aunt Cai looked at her with a smile: "My dear lady, please listen to me!"
