Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

The harem was quite quiet for two or three days after Yun Zhaoyi's miscarriage, but starting from the third night, rumors began to spread about the child who had not been saved.

This rumor happened to be related to Concubine Li, and coincidentally, the Crown Prince and his wife of the Eastern Palace were also involved.

It was said that Concubine Yun was in abdominal pain during labor, so it was inappropriate to let the Crown Princess be in charge. After all, if the baby was a prince, the Eastern Palace would definitely not be happy about it.

Even if this little prince does not bring trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he still needs to be settled down.

In Yufu Palace, Concubine Li was listening to Ping'er telling her these rumors, and she was so angry that her face turned blue.

"Who the hell was that bitch who started saying this nonsense?" Empress Li said angrily, "You framed me. Seeing that the Emperor didn't come to my Yufu Palace, you think I, Empress Li, am easy to bully, right?"

Ping'er walked behind Concubine Li, raised her hand and stroked her back, trying to calm her down. In the past few months, Concubine Li had been feeling very aggrieved and her temper had become much worse than before.

I haven't seen her that fragile and graceful look for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious..." Ping'er advised, "This matter, the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess..."

"Okay, I'm already anxious, and you're telling me not to be anxious. Who can help me at this time? You all just start spreading rumors without saying anything."

Concubine Li said angrily, "I wasn't the one who pushed Yun Zhaoyi. She lost her balance and fell. Even if I could be blamed, I should have given birth to her at that time, or the fetus was unstable and she was born prematurely."

"As a result, the due date predicted by the imperial physician was passed by a full ten days. In my opinion, the child must have been suffocated inside." Concubine Li said. She originally wanted to say "suffocated to death", but when the words came to her lips, she changed her words.

She had given birth to two children and knew the mentality of a mother. She couldn't bear to say harsh words to mistreat the unlucky child.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words." Ping'er said, "These matters also involve the Crown Princess. She will handle it."

"Crown Princess?" Concubine Li sighed. "She no longer has any respect for me. Can I count on her?"

Ping'er shook her head slightly. "Your Majesty, you are the Crown Prince's biological mother, and the Crown Princess is the mistress of the Eastern Palace. There's no way to separate them clearly. Besides, she was the one who presided over the events that day."

Concubine Li snorted coldly and said, "Let me see how I can deal with this Crown Princess. Can I still turn the west wind into the east wind?"

"Yes, you just wait, don't do anything, let alone say anything." Ping'er said, raising her hand to help Concubine Li massage her temples.

Gu Qinghe naturally couldn't turn the west wind into the east wind, but she could make the wind stop.

Xiao Jingheng and Gu Qinghe were playing chess under the Albizia julibrissin tree in the yard to pass the time. Gu Qinghe always thought carefully about every move and calculated Xiao Jingheng's strategy.

"Crown Princess, Zhou Qingxi hasn't come yet?" Xiao Jingheng put down his child, looked up at the door, and looked a little anxious.

He was not worried about the impact of the rumors in the palace on himself, but he was a little worried that these rumors would make the Crown Princess feel uncomfortable.

After all, this seems to be a thankless task.

"It will be here in a moment, Your Highness, don't worry." Gu Qinghe said, placing the black piece, and then casually took the five white pieces in his hand.

Han Desheng watched the Crown Princess making and collecting chess pieces without mercy, and he began to feel sorry for the Crown Prince again. To be honest, the number of times the Crown Prince lost to others was not as many as the number of times he lost to the Crown Princess.

He was really delayed by beauty, so Han Desheng sighed.

Xiao Jingheng heard Han Desheng's sigh and glanced at him sideways. "Han Desheng, I told you before that sighing will make all your good luck go away. You should try harder to breathe in the future."

Han Desheng widened his eyes and asked, "Listen, what is the prince saying?"

It seems that the Crown Prince doesn't need his sympathy. Maybe he is willing to lose to the Crown Princess.

Instead, the Crown Princess smiled when she heard this, and then the Crown Prince also laughed twice, and finally Yingchun and Wangchun also laughed.

Sure enough, the Crown Princess affected the Crown Prince's emotions, and the Crown Prince controlled Han Desheng's emotions.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, Steward Zhou is here." Zhang Jinbao's voice interrupted everyone's laughter, and Han Desheng's embarrassing situation was relieved.

"Your servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Zhou Qingxi came forward and bowed quickly.

Xiao Jingheng didn't say anything, just looked at the Crown Princess.

"Get up." Gu Qinghe raised his hand. "Butler Zhou, tell me how to deal with these rumors spreading around the palace."

Zhou Qingxi looked at the Crown Princess's expression, which was calm yet majestic, and she looked awe-inspiring without even getting angry. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He thought again and again, "In reply to the Crown Princess, I am conducting a thorough investigation. Please give me five days, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Gu Qinghe smiled upon hearing this, "An explanation? But I can't guarantee that it will satisfy me."

Zhou Qingxi's forehead began to sweat. "Slave, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Gu Qinghe waved his hand. "Do you want to send him to the Ministry of Punishment and torture him severely until he gives a confession that you think will satisfy me?"

Zhou Qingxi was speechless for a moment and just looked at the Crown Princess.

"No need. Go back and tell them. If anyone says something without proof and gets caught, they will be fined half a string of silver each time. If they do it more than twice, the eunuch will be expelled from the palace and the palace maids will be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum."

"Yes, I obey your command." Zhou Qingxi quickly responded.

He secretly thought in his heart that the Crown Princess's trick was not very upright. Sending the eunuch out of the palace meant that he basically had no other way out except to work as a waiter in a restaurant.

Palace maids who were sent to guard the imperial mausoleum were poorly treated and would never have a chance to get ahead.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. I'm just afraid that these unpleasant rumors will become more serious and disturb the peace of my father and grandmother." Gu Qinghe said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand the Crown Princess's painstaking efforts." Zhou Qingxi echoed.

"Go ahead, Zhang Jinbao, take Manager Zhou out."

"Please come in, Mr. Zhou." Zhang Jinbao said with a smile.

Gu Qinghe came back to his senses and saw Xiao Jingheng supporting his chin and staring at him, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, are you still going to play chess?" Gu Qinghe chuckled softly, "You lose again."

Xiao Jingheng came back to his senses, "The Crown Princess looks so beautiful when she's serious—her skills are superior. I'm convinced and willing to lose."
