The peerless and dark princess

Because of Du Yuanhuai, His Majesty the Emperor actually broke the record and requested that the dissolute Prince Heng Zuo Ci be seated in the court...

So the next day he began to go to court like other officials. If he had known this earlier, he would not have followed Chu Lianyue's plan so easily. Although he felt a little unhappy with himself, he still got up early every day to attend the morning court. Every day, Chu Lianyue would feel that Zuo Ci was looking at him with some resentment, as if he had done something to let Zuo Ci down.

Mu Wange developed in an orderly manner according to the plan, and her kung fu improved rapidly. Even Zuo Jiu was surprised, because Mu Wange was not like her who had been practicing martial arts since she was six or seven years old, and Mu Wange had many things to decide and deal with, and she was even better than Yihua and others.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed, and Muruohan really became pregnant as she wished. So the second prince Chen Yunfeng directly asked for an order to make Muruohan a concubine. If Guan Lianyi had not been chosen as his principal wife at the celebration banquet, Muruohan might have really been able to get the principal wife.

However, Guan Lianyi is not Zhao Yaxin. He gets along well with Queen Meng Yujiao before they get married, and secretly wins over the housekeeper arranged by Meng Yujiao in the Second Prince's Mansion. Of course, he cannot reach into Muruohan's yard. If he could really reach into Muruohan's yard, he could really discover the relationship between Muruohan and Zhou Yu.

Although Guan Lianyi had inquired about Zhao Yaxin, she felt that since she couldn't even compete with Muruohan, a concubine, she didn't take her seriously, which was why she kept her in hiding. Even before Muruohan became a concubine, the story of Mu Yucheng spread like wildfire, even to the Emperor Chen Yan in the palace. Later, the court in Beijing verified the truth, and Mu Yucheng was stripped of his position in the capital and exiled to the kiln. Before he could even reach his destination, Mu Yucheng escaped, and Mu Heng was reprimanded by the Emperor. However, since Mu Heng had never violated the law, he was only fined.

At the celebration banquet, Madam Chu, accompanied by her aunt Yu Yan'er, was also present. Madam Chu, citing Mu Heng's marriage as an excuse for fear of Mu Heng and Qiao Yan having children and mistreating Wange and her siblings, used Chu Lianyao's military exploits to secure a title of princess for Mu Wange. However, the noble ladies present were all envious of Mu Wange. Though she was foolish, she couldn't help but feel that her mother had the support of a family like the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

-

"Since Mu Ruohan is already pregnant, just stay put. Feng'er, you are someone who is going to do great things, how can you be so sentimental? Besides, you will marry your principal wife next month. Could it be that... your concubine is pregnant before the official lady even gets married? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Queen Meng Yujiao was almost driven crazy by her son. If this son was not her only son and she was injured giving birth to him and unable to conceive, she really didn't want to worry about him anymore.

"Mother, this is Father's first grandson. Naturally, I must take good care of him."

"Only the child born to the principal wife is a legitimate son. If it weren't for the fact that Muruohan is pregnant with the eldest grandson, do you think I would allow you to make her a concubine and include her in the royal family? If you don't listen to me, then I will have someone abort Muruohan's belly, so that she won't make trouble in your house all day long..."

Meng Yujiao wanted to throw the child away, because he was just a concubine's eldest son. Only the child born from the wife's womb could be considered her grandson.

Otherwise, if the late queen had given birth to Chen Yunjie, the position of crown prince should have been given to her son Chen Yun.

"Mother, I will obey you and follow the official tomorrow..."

"Okay, Mammy, go and bring Mu Ruohan to live in the palace. There are imperial physicians in the palace to take care of her..."

"Mother!! Can you?"

"No, Mammy, take someone to bring him to the palace immediately and arrange for him to stay at the Songxue Garden next door."

Although the Empress was furious at her son Chen Yunfeng's incompetence, she didn't intend to attack Muruohan. She simply brought her over to prevent her from disturbing Chen Yunfeng's work. Although she didn't like it, after all, Muruohan was pregnant with the first grandson of the Emperor, and even His Majesty had asked about it. However, she didn't know whose child Muruohan was pregnant with.

"Ayu, I'm sorry, this child can only be His Highness's child. You..."

Mu Ruohan hid the ambition in her eyes and pretended to be gentle. In fact, she herself didn't know whether the child was Chen Yunfeng's or Zhou Yu's, because she had slept with both of them during that period.

"Ruo'er, everything I have now is given to me by you. I understand, it's my fault that I didn't have it..." Zhou Yu was a little proud before, being able to be with the prince's concubine, but later he was deeply moved by Muruhan's pretended tenderness, and really fell in love with the woman in front of him.

"Ayu, thank you. You also know... if it weren't for you, I really..."

"Madam Concubine, someone from the palace is here to take you to the Imperial Palace." The maids in the courtyard all knew that Zhou Yu, the servant, was Muruohan's confidant. Most of the time, Muruohan was with him, so they were not allowed to be here. However, now that someone from the palace had arrived, she had no choice but to go outside to tell the Madam Concubine.

"I see. I'll be right there. Please ask Mammy to wait a moment."

When Mu Ruohan heard that someone had come from the palace, she didn't know what was going on. After all, she was still a little scared after doing these things.

"Ah, Ayu, has our story been discovered?"

"It shouldn't be. If we were discovered, they would have come in and taken you and me away right now. Ruo'er, don't panic. No matter what, you're carrying the emperor's grandson..."

"Yes. I'm not panicking. It's just that I'm afraid you can't enter this palace. However, I want you to do something."

Mu Ruohan recalled Mu Yucheng's escape a few days ago. "Go look for my brother Mu Yucheng in secret."

"Looking for the eldest son!"

"After we find it..." Muruhan's eyes flashed fiercely, "Then...Ayu, for the sake of our relationship, I have no choice but to..."

Zhou Yu heard what Muruohan meant, but seeing her embarrassed and sad face, his emotions surged, and his mind got heated, "Ruo'er, I understand. For Ruo'er and our child in your belly, I know what to do. I also know that this is unfair to the eldest master, but if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. Later... I will..."

When Mu Ruohan heard Zhou Yu's words, she knew he understood what she meant. Although Zhou Yu followed her wholeheartedly because of her brother Mu Yucheng, she was very angry at her mother and brother's actions, so she wanted him dead. In fact, the one who deserved to die the most was Mu Wange, but Mu Wange had the Prince of Yan's Mansion and was now a princess.

Muruohan thought about it and decided that no matter what, she should first give birth to the baby in her belly, preferably a son, so that he would be the emperor's eldest grandson.
