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

Chapter 96 I want him to feel distressed

Jiang Wanyue lowered her head.

"I'm fine, but how is your injury, Your Majesty? Are you feeling better? By the way, didn't the Emperor let you stay in the palace to recuperate? Why did you come back so soon?"

"You gave birth to a child, how could I not come back to see it?"

"Have you been to see the child?"

"I've seen it. This little guy is quite strong and healthy, just like me! Haha!"

Li Ce laughed twice, his brows full of joy.

This could be considered his fourth son, but he was the one who looked most like him.

Jiang Wanyue wrinkled her nose, looking resentful.

"I went through so much hardship carrying the baby for ten months, and I lost half my life to give birth to a child, but the child's eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth don't look like me at all. I don't know why this child has only the good features."

Li Ce was even more pleased to hear this.

"Hahaha! The child is smart, just like you."

Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As a result, this smile pulled the wound, and she frowned in pain and clenched her fists unconsciously.

Li Ce also felt a pang in his heart.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Jiang Wanyue showed an expression of trying hard to hold back the pain: "I'm fine..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly bit her lips.

Li Ce hugged her lovingly and shouted a few times outside, urging people to call Doctor Zeng.

Soon, Dr. Zeng was dragged into the house at a trot.

It was a very cold day and sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

Without even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face, Doctor Zeng quickly walked to the bedside and began to take the patient's pulse without saying a word.

He didn't like to talk while taking the pulse, he just kept his brows furrowed and didn't move.

Seeing this, Li Ce became more and more anxious and worried.

"How is he? Say something!"

Doctor Zeng frowned and glared at Li Ce unhappily.

"Your temper has also increased after becoming the crown prince? Why are you so anxious! Am I not checking the pulse right now? If you keep urging me, it will affect my pulse diagnosis. If I check it wrongly, will you be responsible?"

Li Ce had experienced Doctor Zeng's temper, so he quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

At this time, Doctor Zeng also withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, and asked Jiang Wanyue a few more questions.

Although these questions were somewhat embarrassing, Jiang Wanyue still answered them truthfully.

Doctor Zeng nodded.

"It's not serious, just a bit of bleeding. Take two doses of medicine first and wait for the lochia to be discharged. The baby is big and you have a small frame. It's inevitable that you will have lacerations during delivery. You must rest carefully and don't get out of bed if you can."

Doctor Zeng said this and glanced at Li Ce.

"Did you get out of bed just now? You guys are really annoying. You always pay attention to these red tapes and don't care about your health."

Doctor Zeng caught the two of them and talked to them for a long time before he asked the maid to go to the outer room to write a prescription.

As he left, the pain in Li Ce's eyes grew more intense.

"Doctor Zeng is right. It's all my fault."

Jiang Wanyue was surprised.

She did feel a little pain just now, but it wasn't that serious. She just pretended to be in serious condition to make Li Ce feel distressed.

Doctor Zeng should have been able to see it, but instead of exposing himself, he spoke up for himself... This is not something Doctor Zeng would do!

What stimulated him?

Jiang Wanyue was very puzzled.

Li Ce helped her lie down.

Doctor Zeng had just finished writing the prescription when a servant from the main courtyard came to tell him that the third bath was about to begin and asked His Highness to come over.

Li Ce comforted Jiang Wanyue with a few words, told her to have a good rest, and then he took his people out.

As soon as he left, Jiang Wanyue hurriedly called Xiuchun in.

"Where's Doctor Zeng?"

Xiuchun held the prescription in her hand and said, "He left right after writing the prescription. Do you have anything else to talk to him about?"

Jiang Wanyue frowned slightly.

"Forget it, let's go boil the medicine first!"

Although I don't know what Dr. Zeng is thinking, but judging from what he has done, it does no harm to me. In this case, some things don't need to be said too clearly, as long as everyone knows what's going on.

Xiuchun took the prescription to the warehouse to get the medicine, then went to the small kitchen and watched the servants boil the medicine.

After the medicine was boiled, Jiang Wanyue took a dose and fell asleep soon after.

At the same time, the child's third day baptism was over.

Although it was just the third birthday celebration of a bastard's son, there were many guests coming to congratulate him.

Not to mention the first two, even when Lu Qingshuang gave birth to twins, it wasn't as lively as today.

Who made Li Ce the crown prince?

The situation is clear now. I don't know how many people want to heat up the market and take the opportunity of today's third day of the lunar year to give gifts in a legitimate way.

Lu Qingshuang's performance was flawless, and her reception and seeing off were impeccable.

She had figured it out. No matter how favored the concubine was, no matter how many illegitimate sons and daughters she had, as long as she and her son did not make any mistakes, they would never have a chance to succeed.

What she had to do now was to protect her son. When Li Ce ascended the throne, her son would be the crown prince, and she would be the queen, and later the queen mother.

This is the most important.

All grace and love are false.

Only the power you hold is real.

After seeing off the guests, Lu Qingshuang's mother took her to the inner room to talk privately and expressed her concern about Jiang Wanyue's child being favored.

But Lu Qingshuang remained calm, stopped her mother from talking, and even gave her a lecture.

His mother was so angry that she didn't even have lunch and got on the carriage and left.

Lu Qingshuang did not stop her. After watching her mother leave, she turned and went to the study.

Li Ce raised his eyebrows when he saw her.

"Anything else?"

Lu Qingshuang bent his knees and asked respectfully.

"Your Highness, there is something I have been forgetting to tell you. Princess Qi... Wei wants to see you."

Li Ce was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

He has been too busy these days and has never thought about Wei Fuxue.

Until then.

Thinking of Wei Fuxue whom he met under the banyan tree that day, Li Ce couldn't help but recall what Wei Fuxue looked like when he was young.

She seemed to have not changed much.

Li Ce lowered his eyes.

He could probably guess why Wei Fuxue wanted to see him, it was simply because she wanted to know the situation of her two children.

Seeing that Li Ce remained silent, Lu Qingshuang felt a little uncertain. She couldn't help but look at him twice and asked tentatively.

"If Your Highness does not want to see her, I will send her back immediately. However, she is the Princess of Qi after all, and it is not a long-term solution for her to live in our house all the time. Your Highness plans to...what do you plan to do with her?"

This is a bit subtle.

Li Ce raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Qingshuang.

Lu Qingshuang's heart tightened and she hurried to explain.

"I have no other intentions, but this matter concerns the King of Qi. It is a serious matter. I am a weak woman and dare not make a decision. I can only ask for your instructions."

Li Ce withdrew his gaze, and the expression on his face seemed to have not changed.

In just a day or two, his princess immediately adapted to her new identity and her attitude became different from before.

She became more docile.

This seems to be a good thing.

Li Ce didn't think much about it, patted the armrest of the chair and stood up.

"I will go and see her. After this matter is settled, you can find someone to send her back to the Wei family."

At this point, Li Ce paused and his tone turned cold.

"Li Jian has been demoted to a commoner. There is no King of Qi in this world. There is only the sinner Li Jian. Naturally, there is no Princess of Qi either."
