Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Hearing this, the queen felt relieved and relaxed.

"The child was just anxious for a moment. If he knew that His Majesty still valued him so much, he would definitely not act rashly."

"Cough cough cough..."

The night wind blew in through the window, bringing a hint of coolness, which reminded the queen of her illness and made her cough a few more times.

Seeing this, the emperor held her hand, turned sideways and patted the back of her hand, "You have done so much for me, and your contributions are great."

"You are not feeling well now, so you should rest well. Let Concubine Rong take over the power of the six palaces temporarily. The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow. You should rest well and do not need to participate."

The Queen's heart tightened, and she could only agree: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Then the emperor shouted, "Haidehong, send the queen back to Fengqi Palace."

The Queen stood up and bowed, "I will take my leave."

……

The next day.

The wedding of the Third Prince and Princess Dayan was successfully completed.

Everything is going smooth.

Jiang Ningwan drank too much and fell asleep as soon as she returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

Qin Shuangchi took off her shoes and socks and covered her with a quilt.

In the silent night, Zhou Tingxu's crying could be heard from afar, and Qin Shuangchi simply closed all the doors and windows.

The sound became a little quieter.

But Jiang Ningwan still heard faint crying sounds in her sleep and cried all night.

When Jiang Ningwan woke up at dawn, she felt dizzy.

Li Chun brought the hangover soup, "Princess, the hangover soup is here. Drink it and your headache will go away."

Jiang Ningwan finished the drink in one gulp and asked, "Was anyone crying last night? I seemed to hear crying all night long."

Li Chun sighed: "It's Zhou Tingxu crying."

"She cries every day, especially at night. The doctor says that if she continues to be depressed like this, it will be bad for the fetus. But we can't cover her mouth all the time. There's really no other way."

At this moment, Qin Shuangchi walked into the room and brought her a bloody handkerchief. "Xiao Lan and his men stopped Qingyun who went to the Zhou family to report the news early in the morning and found this on her."

Jiang Ningwan opened it and took a look in confusion.

I couldn't help being surprised.

It turned out to be a letter written in blood.

The handwriting was crooked, and it was obvious that the person had bitten his finger and wrote it secretly.

It was a letter written in blood asking for help.

She wanted her parents to rescue her.

The blood letter also admitted that the child was not the King of Chu's, and if she stayed in the King of Chu's mansion to give birth to the child, she would be dead.

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and handed it to Lichun, "Return it to Qingyun and ask her to go back to the Zhou family and deliver the letter."

Lichun was slightly surprised, "Really?"

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "The Zhou family won't save her."

"The Zhou family is already overwhelmed by the Crown Prince's affairs. Zhou Tingxu is pregnant before she's even married, which is a shame for the Zhou family."

"Her only value is staying in the Prince Chu's mansion, and having the chance to become a concubine."

"Once she is taken back to the Zhou family, she and the baby in her belly will become a burden and a laughing stock to the Zhou family."

"Since Zhou Tingxu wants to seek help, let her give up on this idea completely."

Then Lichun went to return the blood letter to Qingyun.

Qingyun was shocked, but immediately rushed back to Zhou's house for help.

In the evening, Qingyun returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the Prince Chu's Mansion, she was immediately brought before Jiang Ningwan.

Seeing Qingyun's pale face, Jiang Ningwan asked, "What did the Zhou family say?"

"The master said that the young lady should abort the child at all costs. She must not let the child be born and implicate the Zhou family."

Qingyun bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

As expected, it was similar to Jiang Ningwan’s guess.

"Go tell your lady."

"If she had an abortion at this age, it would have easily resulted in two deaths. This clearly shows that the Zhou family didn't intend to keep this child, nor did they intend to keep her as a daughter."

Qingyun went to Zhou Tingxu's room in tears.

He told the Zhou family the truth.

After hearing this, Zhou Tingxu couldn't recover for a long time, his eyes red with disbelief, "Did my father really say that?"

Qingyun nodded, "I dare not deceive you, young lady."

At that moment, Zhou Tingxu's only hope completely collapsed.

He curled up on the bed and cried bitterly.

Zhou Tingxu cried for a long time, until his voice became hoarse and he couldn't speak, and his eyes were red and swollen.

When Imperial Physician Zhang came to check Jiang Ningwan's pulse, he said worriedly, "She's feeling depressed. Although the tonic soup can temporarily stabilize the pregnancy, if this continues, I'm afraid she won't have much time left..."

"Besides, she's been crying a lot lately. Crying is bad for the body and the eyes. I'm afraid her eyes won't be healed for long."

After listening to this, Jiang Ningwan's expression became serious.

Although Zhou Tingxu is annoying, it's not to the point where she needs to be killed.

What's more, people cannot die in the Prince of Chu's palace.

By then, the Zhou family will definitely make a big fuss about this matter.

"Prescribe some tranquilizers first, try to calm her down, or if that doesn't work, let her get more sleep."

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "Okay."

After Zhou Tingxu took the boiled medicine, he fell asleep, and the crying in the yard finally stopped.

Then Jiang Ningwan sent people to keep an eye on the Zhou family.

……

Two days later.

The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the sky is clear.

Jiang Ningwan came to Zhou Tingxu's room and had the chains on her feet untied.

He ordered someone to change Zhou Tingxu's clothes and tidy him up.

Zhou Tingxu knew that she was just a puppet now and it was useless to struggle, so she obediently let the maid change her clothes.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere today."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingxu's dim eyes lit up a little, "You want to let me out?"

Qingyun was there, and three maids followed her.

Although it is strictly guarded, it is rare to be able to step out of this door.

He got on the carriage and went straight to the residence of Grand Tutor Qin.

Zhou Tingxu was a little surprised and didn't understand why she was brought here. The two of them entered through the back door and came to the inner courtyard.

Walking through the corridor, deep laughter came from the garden in front.

"It is Yu'er's blessing to be praised by the Grand Tutor." Zhou Lin looked proud.

In the open space, Zhou Yu had just finished a performance of spearmanship and walked forward to salute Grand Tutor Qin. "Although my martial arts skills are decent, I haven't read much. If I can get some guidance from Grand Tutor, I will definitely not let you down in the future!"

father?

Zhou Tingxu immediately clenched her palms. Zhou Yu was her uncle's son, so why did he call her father "Dad"?

Grand Tutor Qin smiled and said, "Since you are so eager to learn, how can I not teach you? But I must be frank: my rules are very strict!"

Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Grand Master, please discipline me! No need to be polite to him!"

Listening to the conversation between several people and hearing his father's laughter, Zhou Tingxu's face gradually turned pale.

Leaning weakly against the wall.

Jiang Ningwan spoke slowly, "You see, your father has already adopted your cousin. He's been taking Zhou Yu to visit prestigious ministers in the court quite a bit lately, doing everything he can to pave the way for Zhou Yu."

"Speaking of which, your father has quite a few connections."

"For a guy like Zhou Yu who is so unlearned and unskilled to be able to get Grand Tutor Qin to agree to teach him, it shows that your father has put in a lot of effort."

"But with all these connections and energy, no one is willing to use it on you."

Her words were cold and sharp, piercing Zhou Tingxu's heart.
