They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Amid the noise, Jiang Wanyue, who was half asleep, was awakened and shouted subconsciously.

"Xiuchun?"

"The servant is here."

In the darkness, Xiuchun's voice came from nearby, and Jiang Wanyue felt relieved.

"Light up."

chap!

There was a slight sound, and the candle on the table was lit.

Xiuchun walked to the bedside with a candle.

"Miss, do you want me to go out and ask around?"

She asked in a low voice.

Jiang Wanyue shook her head and sat up.

After Xiuchun put down the candle, she picked up the kettle on the stove and poured her a cup of hot water.

Jiang Wanyue drank a glass of water in small sips, let out a long breath, and woke up completely.

"With such a big commotion, something must have happened to Aunt Luo. We can't go out and ask around at this time. Any action we take will easily give people a handle and frame us. Where are Xing'er and the others?"

"I have already told them that no one can open the door and leave without your order." Xiuchun replied, "They have agreed on the surface, but I don't know if they will do it. If they are secretly contacting someone, we have no way of knowing."

Jiang Wanyue calmed herself down and smiled.

"If there really is such a person, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to catch him?"

Xiuchun was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

"That's true, but it will affect you to some extent. The prince cares a little about you, and if you ruin your favor in the prince's heart because of this, it will be more trouble than gain."

Xiuchun sees things very clearly.

In this mansion, the prince is the boss, and nothing is more important than the prince's impression.

Although the prince is still concerned about his young lady, how can you trust a man's heart? You never know when he will change his mind.

Xiuchun sighed, "Young lady may not like what I say, but I still have to say it. Young lady, please have a child as soon as possible! You see, Aunt Luo was not favored at first, but when she got pregnant, the prince took extra care of her."

Jiang Wanyue took Xiuchun's hand and patted it gently.

"I know what you mean. We need to have a child, but not now."

She stood up, stretched, and looked at the candle flame.

"Outsiders only know that a mother's status is due to her son, but sometimes it is also the case that a son's status is due to his mother. If Prince Jing is only concerned about his children, it is not a long-term solution. Prince Jing has many children, and there will be more in the future. I can't guarantee that my child will be smarter than others. Instead of relying on my child, I might as well work hard on my own."

Of course, it is necessary to have children. Without children, no matter how much love one gets, it will be a castle in the air. When Prince Jing ascends the throne, without a son, he will not be able to compete for the throne.

But when the child is born and who gives birth to the child are all different.

For example, in the previous life, after the Princess of Qi entered the palace, she soon became pregnant. Prince Jing treated the Princess of Qi like a treasure, but he did not like the child.

After that, the Princess of Qi became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter, but Prince Jing loved her especially, even more than his legitimate son.

There were rumors outside the palace that the first child might be the King of Qi's posthumous child.

Although I don’t know whether this rumor is true or not, Prince Jing is indeed biased.

This is true for children born to the same mother, let alone children born to different mothers.

Therefore, there is no need to rush when it comes to children.

As the two talked, daybreak came unknowingly.

Soon, Xing'er and several maids came in with hot water and fragrant dew to serve.

After washing up, Jiang Wanyue changed into a light purple-pink dress and put on a plain jade hairpin.

Just as I was dressed, there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!

The voice is impatient.

The little maid ran to open the door.

It was the old nanny beside the princess.

She brought four or five old women with her, pushed the maid aside, walked quickly into the house, and spoke directly and sternly without any greeting.

"The princess invites Aunt Jiang to go to the main courtyard."

Jiang Wanyue showed a look of surprise at the right moment.

"What's wrong? Mammy doesn't look very happy. Is there something wrong? I was planning to go and pay my respects to the princess!"

The old lady pursed her lips.

"When Aunt Jiang goes there, she will know."

She refused to say, but from her serious expression, Jiang Wanyue could guess that something must have happened to Aunt Luo, and the fetus might not have been saved.

And why was he in such a hurry to call me... Did someone complain to the princess?

They reacted quickly.

Jiang Wanyue straightened her sleeves, turned around and gave some instructions to Xing'er and Mi'er, then took Xiuchun out.

Following the old nanny all the way to the main courtyard, Jiang Wanyue saw several maids standing under the eaves at a glance.

With a quick glance, yes, everyone is here except the concubine.

She walked into the house calmly.

The room was full of people.

In addition to the princess and several concubines, there was also an old man with a white beard and seven or eight maids, all kneeling in the middle.

The princess sat at the head, her face stern and majestic.

"Aunt Jiang is here."

The princess glanced at her.

Jiang Wanyue stepped forward and knelt down in greeting.

"I pay my respects to the princess. Why are there so many people here today? Did something happen?"

She looked innocently confused.

A voice floated over from the side.

"Such a big thing happened in the mansion, and everyone is worried. Aunt Jiang eats well and sleeps well, and her son just came now."

You can tell it's Xie Lanxi's voice without even having to listen.

Jiang Wanyue turned her head and glanced at her.

"What do you mean, Aunt Xie? I was not feeling well yesterday and went to bed early. I did hear some noises in the middle of the night, but I was just a concubine who had just arrived and I should behave myself and not cause any trouble. I was just helping out, so I did not come out to ask."

She blinked and turned back to the princess.

That's a clever way of saying it.

She was a law-abiding person, so the man who was running around last night to inquire about the news and came to complain early in the morning must have ulterior motives.

The princess raised her eyebrows, looked at Jiang Wanyue meaningfully, and then spoke.

"Aunt Luo had a miscarriage last night."

Jiang Wanyue exclaimed.

"What? But didn't Bai Ri say she was fine yesterday? How did she suddenly have a miscarriage? Is Aunt Luo okay?"

"Don't be so hypocritical! Aunt Luo had a miscarriage, you must be so happy that you want to applaud! Who are you pretending to be like this for?"

Xie Lanxi jumped up again.

Jiang Wanyue was really annoyed with her.

She turned around and glared at Xie Lanxi.

"How do you know what I'm thinking, Aunt Xie? Are you the worm in my stomach? Or do you think the same way, so you think other people think the same way?"

Xie Lanxi’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Jiang Wanyue to refute like this.

"You, you, you...you're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

She denied it hastily.

The princess glanced at her calmly.

"Aunt Xie, sit down and don't interrupt if it's none of your business."

Xie Lanxi bit her lip and sat down.

The princess turned her gaze back.

"Madam Jiang, Madam Luo's miscarriage was caused by someone. Now someone has accused you of being the one who did it. Do you have anything to say?"

Jiang Wanyue really predicted this.

There are people who really want to use this incident to throw dirty water on her.

But if you want to bring her down just because of this, you are underestimating Jiang Wanyue.
