The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

On this day, Ye Qingyan accepted the invitation of King Zhan and came to King Zhan's mansion.

The maids and old women in the palace were all shocked and looked at Ye Qingyan as if she were a god.

Wang Pozi, who was in charge of the kitchen, smiled and said, "Who said our prince doesn't like women? It's those vulgar women who are not into our prince's eyes.

You see, the prince treats this woman very differently, even holding her hand. I thought I was seeing things because of my old eyesight."

"Mrs. Wang, you're not mistaken, I saw it too.

The prince always has a cold face, but look at the way she looks at that woman, her eyes are full of affection. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and our prince has good taste."

Leng Jiuyuan brought Ye Qingyan to the flower hall and said, "Xiao Qi, General Zhou who lives next door to the palace is going to return to his hometown, so I will buy that courtyard and transfer it to your name.

This house is a gift from me to you. If you hadn't jumped off the cliff to save me at Erhu Mountain, I would have died long ago. You must accept this thank you gift."

Ye Qingyan raised her lips to form a gentle smile: "It's just a small favor, I can't just watch you die.

Thank you for your kindness, I accept it."

Leng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Pick a day and I'll send someone to help you move. Then we'll become neighbors."

"I'll tell you when we're ready to move."

Leng Jiuyuan was secretly happy: when she moved in, there would only be a wall between them, and he would no longer have to cross two streets to get to her yard.

An Yi brought some tea and snacks, and the two of them drank tea and chatted.

After about an incense stick of time, An Yi walked in and clasped his fists: "Master, Eunuch Jiang from the Empress's side has arrived and wants to see you."

"Let him in." Leng Jiuyuan ordered.

Jiang Dazong came in hurriedly and saluted. His voice was hoarse: "This old servant greets the prince!"

Leng Jiuyuan said calmly, "Chief Eunuch Jiang is a very busy man in the Queen's Palace. How come he has time to come here today?"

Eunuch Jiang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the Empress is seriously ill and keeps muttering your name. Nanny Yu asked this old servant to invite you into the palace."

Leng Jiuyuan frowned, his expression instantly turning colder: "My mother is ill? Why has no one ever mentioned it?"

Jiang Zhen lowered his head: "The Queen was afraid that you would worry, so she didn't tell you that she was sick."

Leng Jiuyuan felt that the Queen treated him better than the Consort Xian, so he readily agreed: "The Chief Steward, please go ahead. I will change my clothes and come soon."

"Then we will be waiting for you in Fengning Palace!"

"Manager Jiang, take care!" Jiang Zhen nodded and walked out.

Leng Jiuyuan did not change his clothes. He looked at Ye Qingyan and said, "Xiao Qi, can you come with me into the palace and let my mother take a look? I believe in your medical skills.

My mother has been very kind to me, so I doubt even the imperial physician can cure her illness."

Ye Qingyan blinked her watery black eyes, "Is it okay for me to enter the palace like this?"

Leng Jiuyuan smiled charmingly: "What's wrong with that? Xiao Qi is a leader in the world of metaphysics and is also good at medicine. He is enough to make them take notice."

"All right!"

Ye Qingyan was wearing a snow-white gauze dress today, and only had the jade plum blossom hairpin given to her by Leng Jiuyuan on her head.

She didn't even change her clothes, and she and Leng Jiuyuan took a carriage directly to Fengning Palace.

When I arrived at the courtyard of Fengyi Palace, I felt a cool breeze on my face.

The precious flowers and plants planted in the yard can be vaguely seen to have fallen, and the leaves of the late autumn have been quietly dyed with a thin layer of golden mist, showing a bleak and desolate look.

Nanny Yu paced back and forth in the courtyard, glancing towards the palace gate from time to time.

When she saw Leng Jiuyuan, she hurried forward and bowed, "This old servant greets His Majesty! Who is this?"

Leng Jiuyuan said bluntly: "Divine Calculation Xiaoqi!"

Yu Ma was stunned for a moment, but then she recovered as usual: "Please follow me in."

Leng Jiuyuan and Ye Qingyan followed closely behind and walked towards the bedroom.

The queen lay on the bed, looking haggard and with her eyes closed.

Nanny Yu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has come to see you."

The Queen opened her eyes slightly, a faint smile on her lips: "Old Nine, you're here!"

Although he looked listless, his eyes were full of love.

"Mother, why didn't you tell me that you were ill? This is the divine fortune teller Xiao Qi. She is a skilled doctor, and I have specially asked her to diagnose you."

Ye Qingyan bowed: "Xiao Qi greets the Queen!"

Queen Chu looked at Ye Qingyan and was quite satisfied to see that she was pretty, neither humble nor arrogant, and had extraordinary manners and speech.

Her voice was a little weak: "Thank you, Xiaoqi!"

When Queen Chu saw the plum blossom hairpin in Ye Qingyan's hair, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At that time, Fanjiang presented the finest jasper as tribute. Under the order of the empress, the Imperial Household Department made twelve plum blossom hairpins inlaid with gold and jade for the princes.

Each of them received one hairpin, which they would give to their future wives.

The queen thought to herself: I never thought that Xiaoqi is the one that Laojiu loves.

Ye Qingyan came up to her and said, "My Lady, Xiaoqi will take your pulse."

Ye Qingyan took the pulse, activated the ghost pupil, and let go after a long time.

"My Lady, have you been suffering from severe abdominal pain for more than 20 years?"

The queen's face changed drastically, her eyes froze for a moment, and she nodded quickly: "Yes, ever since I gave birth to the third princess, I have been suffering from abdominal pain.

I also drank a lot of herbal medicine, but it still had no effect."

Ye Qingyan said calmly, "My Lady, there is another baby in your belly, but it has not yet formed and has become a tumor."

"You mean there was another baby that died in the womb? I gave birth to two children at that time, and the other baby boy also died.

Did I do something bad in my previous life? Both of my children left me." After saying this, tears began to flow down her face.

Ye Qingyan was slightly speechless, "My queen, the baby in your belly can't grow up at all, and all the nutrients are absorbed by the other two children.

The other two were able to be born safely, but even if this one was born, it would be difficult for him to survive."

Only Nanny Yu was in the room. The Queen looked puzzled. "You mean this baby can't survive, but the other two can?"

"Not bad!"

"But the baby boy who was born was also stillborn."

Ye Qingyan was neither humble nor arrogant, with only a faint smile on her face: "Your Majesty's face shows that you will have two sons and one daughter in this life.

Did you see with your own eyes that the baby had stopped breathing, or did your close associates see that he was dead?"

Queen Chu was stunned: "I had fainted at the time and was unaware of it.

This is also what the palace maids said later: Yu Ma was not with the emperor when she went to look for him.

Seeing this, Aunt Yu hurriedly asked, "Xiao Qi, you are a fortune teller, can you tell where the child is now?"

Ye Qingyan began to count on her fingers, and after a long while she spoke, "I can only tell that he's still alive, and he's in the capital."

Ye Qingyan couldn't tell Leng Jiuyuan that he was the queen's son.

As for the blood type theory, people in this era simply don't understand it, nor do they believe it. All we can do is let the Empress investigate it herself...
