Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

Nanny Li thought to herself that the outside world was talking about Concubine He's favor. She really wanted to stand up and tell those people not to speculate. Remarks like "being favored by the emperor" were simply absurd.

"Master." Nanny Li called softly.

Zhang Tianai turned to look at her, "What's the matter?"

Nanny Li hesitated to speak, silently praying in her heart that her master and the emperor would have a deep and lasting love and live in harmony and happiness.

"Madame Li, you seem to have something to say?" Zhang Tianai noticed her abnormality.

"Master, I heard the gossip when I woke up this morning. I don't know how many people are talking about this matter." Nanny Li finally spoke.

Zhang Tianai nodded slightly, "I already know about this matter. Gossip is just gossip. Don't take it too seriously."

"But my lord, how did Lady He save you?" Nanny Li was puzzled. How could it be such a coincidence?

Zhang Tianai's eyes flickered with a ripple when she heard this, but then she regained her composure, "This matter will have its own destiny, we don't need to worry too much."

After hearing this, Nanny Li felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't help asking, "Master, are you really not angry?"

Zhang Tianai smiled calmly, "Why should I be angry? He's just a talented person, not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li understood her master's magnanimity and broad-mindedness even more clearly. She looked at her master's belly, where the little prince was nurtured, their shared hope.

Zhang Tianai also gently stroked her abdomen, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination. Nanny Li echoed, "Master, you don't need to be afraid of anyone."

However, recalling the Autumn Hunt, how the Emperor was not only in danger but also rescued by Miss He, and subsequently canonized as a talented person and taken into the harem, Li Ma still felt a little unhappy. If it weren't for the Autumn Hunt, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

"What are you still thinking about?" Zhang Tianai asked softly when she saw Li Ma was in a trance.

Nanny Li quickly came back to her senses, "Nothing, Master."

She thought of how the Emperor had stayed by his master's side last night after conferring the title on the new bride. This was the Emperor's residence, which was enough to show how much his master held in his heart.

"I thought everyone already knew it last night." Zhang Tianai muttered to herself.

Nanny Li didn't hear her master's words clearly, and was about to ask, when Chunmei walked in. Chunmei looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianai smiled and said, "Girl, do you want to talk about He Cairen?"

Chunmei was stunned for a moment, looked at her master and Nanny Li, and understood what was going on.

"I already knew it last night." Zhang Tianai said lightly.

Chunmei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Ma, "Chunmei, the master said she knew, I have already told the master."

After hearing this, Chunmei had no choice but to shut up.

Zhang Tianai looked out the window, thinking to herself. She wished the people around her would speak frankly and not hesitate.

"Master." Nanny Li and Chunmei called out in unison.

Zhang Tianai turned to look at them, "What else?"

As soon as the voice fell, a palace maid came in and saluted and said, "Empress Liang, the old lady is here."

Zhang Tianai's heart trembled slightly when she heard this. Could it be that Grandmother came here at this time because of He Cairen's matter?

She asked the palace maid to invite her grandmother in, and she stood up to greet her. Old Madam Yuan of Weiyuan Marquis's residence walked into the room with Nanny Yu. Her eyes lingered on Zhang Tianai for a moment, and she pondered inwardly.

"My dear." Yuan called softly.

"Grandma, did you rest well last night?" Zhang Tianai asked with a smile on her face.

When she saw her grandmother's hesitant look, she knew that she, like Chunmei and the others, had some concerns in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Yuan felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her beloved son's thoughtfulness gave her some peace of mind. She smiled and said, "My dear, Grandma is resting well. She's never felt so peaceful in recent days."

Zhang Tianai heard this and became even more certain that her grandmother had come because of He Cairen's matter. Not wanting to worry her grandmother, she changed the subject and asked, "Grandma, did you just get up too?"

Yuan nodded. "Grandmother had just gotten married when she heard that the Emperor had issued an edict conferring a title on the newlyweds."

Zhang Tianai's smile widened upon hearing this. "Grandmother, are you here for Consort He as well?"

Seeing her granddaughter's smile, Yuan knew she already knew about this and didn't mind. She no longer tried to hide it, but nodded and said, "Grandma is indeed a little curious."

Zhang Tianai asked Chunmei to tell her grandmother and Yu Mama everything about He Cairen. After Chunmei finished speaking, both Yuan and Yu Mama felt that the emperor did not seem to take the matter too seriously.

Zhang Tianai left her grandmother to have breakfast together and asked the emperor if he had eaten yet. After learning that the emperor had not yet eaten, she immediately had a meal prepared and sent to the study.

On the other side, Murong Shuo looked at the breakfast that was delivered. After eating some, he learned that Concubine Liang had already eaten it, so he didn't say anything more.

The Empress Dowager sent someone to visit He Cairen. The Empress and others also sent people to express their concern. When Zhang Tianai learned about it, she also sent someone to visit.

While the Queen sent people to visit, she also received the people sent by He Cairen privately. She listened to He Cairen's words of gratitude and said lightly: "Thank you later, there is no need to be so polite now."

After she finished speaking, she told them to go back and serve He Cairen well. After they left, the people she sent out also came back to report on the situation.

Gradually, everyone heard the truth about the Crown Princess's premature birth and stillbirth, as well as the news that another woman in the Eastern Palace was pregnant. The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to throw something, but she didn't. At this time, she learned the news of another pregnancy.

"This...that...Crown Princess!" The Queen Mother's hand holding the thing trembled slightly. She wanted to reprimand the Crown Princess for her mistake, but she was speechless for a moment.

She knew that this matter concerned the royal bloodline and could not be handled lightly. However, her anger towards the Crown Princess was difficult to quell. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, and thought about how to deal with this sudden change.

With a bang, she sat back down, her eyes darting to the person next to her as she demanded, "What on earth is going on? Huh?"

Nanny Qin spoke slowly: "The Crown Princess gave birth to a stillborn baby due to premature delivery a long time ago, and since then..." That was all she had to say.

The Queen Mother's heart gradually calmed after hearing this. Yes, time has diluted all emotions. She wanted to be angry, but she found that it was all in the past.

However, she only learned at this moment that the Emperor had been keeping the news secret, unwilling to let anyone know. This truly infuriated her. The Crown Princess knew it was a stillbirth, yet she still framed others for causing her premature birth. This behavior was truly despicable.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince still had a son in the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince had met with an unexpected accident, what would have happened? The Queen Mother pondered in her heart and decided to reward the pregnant concubine well, but then she thought again, fearing that it would cause more trouble, and she couldn't help but feel helpless.

Seeing this, Nanny Qin gently consoled her, "Empress Dowager, we can make plans for this matter after we return to the palace."

"Go back to the palace?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her gaze to Nanny Qin, already having a plan in mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nanny Qin responded respectfully.

The Queen Mother secretly wondered to herself who had heard of this matter and how many people were discussing it in private.

"Whatever," the Queen Mother sighed softly, deciding to return to the palace as soon as possible and set off immediately. At the same time, she instructed Nanny Qin to inquire about the Emperor's opinion.

Nanny Qin took the order and left. The Queen Mother secretly swore in her heart that the Crown Princess would never be forgiven in this matter!

At the same time, the queen also sent people to look for the emperor, and others were asking about the matter.

On the other side, Zhang Tianai and her grandmother heard the rumors outside.

Seeing that her grandmother was worried about Zhang Tianci, Zhang Tianai comforted her and said that all this was Zhang Tianci's own fault.

Before he could finish his words, Concubine Xian walked in.
