The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 170 The Plague Comes
The news of Ning Xianyun's pregnancy soon spread throughout the Third Prince's mansion. The Third Prince was so excited that he gave a big reward to the entire mansion. He also asked Ning Xianyun to move to the side courtyard of Liu Xiangling's yard. Liu Xiangling's people served her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
It seems that she regards this pregnancy as very important.
Even Madam Liu came to visit Ning Xianyun. She was extremely cordial and brought many supplements.
"Just tell the people below what Concubine Ning needs. There's no need to be so rigid." Madam Liu has been feeling a little depressed these past few days.
Queen Liu was punished with house arrest, and Liu Meir was also under house arrest.
The old lady fell ill, and Madam Liu wanted to go forward and serve her, but the old lady didn't want to let only Madam Second serve her.
Madam Liu had her free time and only went to pay her respects in the morning and evening. As for what the old lady said, she pretended not to hear it.
When the Third Prince's Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter, Madam Liu could no longer hide the smile on her face and rushed over without saying a word.
Before leaving, she saw the old lady faint again.
"Thank you, Madam Liu." Ning Xianyun seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looked terrified. Seeing this, Madam Liu waved her hand and asked everyone else to leave.
"If Concubine Ning has any concerns, please speak up."
Ning Xianyun said: "Mrs. Bo comes to the Third Prince's Mansion every day and finds different ways to see me. I get a headache just by smelling her fragrance, but Mrs. Bo uses her status as His Highness Qiao's aunt to pressure me."
Hearing this, Madam Liu frowned.
"I don't know how the Third Prince's wife is doing in the palace. If she could come back earlier, maybe she could stop the people from the Bo family." Ning Xianyun muttered.
Madam Liu frowned even more deeply, and didn't care in front of Ning Xianyun: "Logically, Concubine Xu De should feel bad for the Bo family. How did she offend Ling'er? I also sent people to find out the news. Although they didn't make things difficult for Ling'er, they just kept Ling'er by their side every day. When will it end?"
Madam Liu blamed Concubine Xu De.
As the two were chatting, Liu Xiangling's voice came from outside the door: "Mother is here too."
Liu Xiangling was so excited that she smiled and said, "Concubine Xu De didn't make things difficult for my daughter. Instead, she got along very well with her."
Seeing Liu Xiangling coming back with numerous rewards and a bright smile on her face, Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and chanted "Amitabha": "I will go to the temple to fulfill my wish another day. We are finally going to make it through this."
Liu Xiangling raised her hand and touched Ning Xianyun's flat belly: "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you. I will accompany Concubine Xu De every day for a while. You can live here peacefully. No one dares to disturb you."
"Yes." Ning Xianyun nodded.
Time flew by quickly and a few days passed. Ning Xianyun was sitting in the corridor, reading a scripture with great interest in her hand.
Suddenly, news came from outside: "Concubine Bo has been diagnosed with pregnancy."
Ning Xianyun raised her eyelids slightly and hummed lightly. Not only was she not surprised, but even Liu Xiangling was not surprised. She went to accompany Concubine Xu De during the day and sometimes even stayed in the palace.
Two concubines in the Third Prince's Mansion became pregnant at once, and both were pregnant with boys. The first one who lost her patience was Queen Liu.
She was confined to Changchun Palace, but was well-informed.
After hearing this, he was so angry that he untied the string of the Buddhist beads in his hand. Dozens of beads fell to the ground, bounced high and scattered.
"I was too careless." Queen Liu held her breath, her eyes full of ruthlessness. She had raised the Third Prince for so many years, but in the end, she was still plotted against by him.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled him to death!" Queen Liu was so angry that she felt a fishy smell in her throat. She gritted her teeth and swallowed it down. She asked again, "Is there any news about the crown prince?"
The nanny who answered shook her head.
Queen Liu frowned: "It's been so long, and the prince didn't even bring back a message?"
"No, no."
Queen Liu held her breath and began to curse Liu Mei'er, the idiot: "So what if Concubine Han has a child? Why did you insist on making trouble? Now look what you did, you made room for the third child for nothing."
After being under house arrest for a period of time, Queen Liu regretted that she should not have argued with the Emperor of Northern Qi, which put her in a very passive position now.
"Your Highness, you and the Emperor are married after all. If you bow your head and admit your mistakes, the Emperor might let you go. Concubine Xu De is very close to the Third Prince's residence. I am worried that Concubine Xu De might get pregnant again..."
The nanny's words were hesitant and touched the heart of Empress Liu.
She took a deep breath, picked up a pen and wrote a letter and asked the nanny to hand it to the Emperor of Northern Qi. The Emperor of Northern Qi did see the letter, but Concubine Xu De was also next to her.
Concubine Xu De raised her narrow eyebrows and said, "Since the Empress has come to admit her fault, Your Majesty should release her. I am new here and don't understand many things. It is safest to leave the harem to the Empress."
The Emperor of Northern Qi also wanted to let Queen Liu come out, so he took the opportunity to step down and lifted the house arrest for Queen Liu.
In the previous dynasty, there was news that there was a plague in Hecheng, and countless people died and injured.
"What's going on?" The Northern Qi Emperor was instantly furious: "Why is such a big thing being reported only now?"
The minister said, "Your Majesty, it was the Crown Prince who ordered that no report be made to the court. He also ordered that the city gates be sealed and no one be allowed to enter or leave. As a result, the plague in the city became increasingly serious, and the people panicked, and a large number of them have already fled."
"Crown Prince?" The Emperor of Northern Qi frowned.
"The prince... the prince left Hecheng with Concubine Han after blocking the city gate." The minister said tremblingly.
How could the Emperor of Northern Qi bear it when he heard this?
He slammed the table and stood up: "You mean the prince abandoned the people of the city and fled?"
The minister was so frightened that he dared not speak, and kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was his acquiescence.
The Emperor of Northern Qi was very angry and cursed his son as a rebellious son!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The most urgent task is to arrange people to go to Hecheng as soon as possible to appease the people. Otherwise, I am worried that the news will spread to Nanliang, and Nanliang will take advantage of the situation." Concubine Xu De suggested in a gentle voice.
The Northern Qi Emperor looked at Concubine Xu De meaningfully, then nodded: "My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense."
