Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Since that day, the young couple's relationship has become better, and Yinreng has become even more attached to Wanyu.

The two of them are often stuck together.

Gradually, a lot of Wanyu's things appeared in Yinreng's study.

There is even a slightly smaller desk next to his desk.

On weekdays, when Yinreng was handling government affairs, Wanyu would obediently stay by his side to handle palace affairs.

Occasionally, the two of them would look up from their work at the table and glance at each other, their eyes filled with friendship and happiness.

Such a happy and sweet day made the two of them indulge.

Even the people in the entire East Palace found their work much easier because of the mood of the two masters.

There is no need to worry about the master taking his anger out on you when he is in a bad mood.

However, Wanyu's good mood did not last long.

A message from the Fourth Prince's Courtyard in the Southern Third Building entered the Eastern Palace.

Wanyu jumped up from the couch.

"What did you say? Second sister is about to give birth?"

Yu Cui replied worriedly, "Yes, Master."

Wanyu asked anxiously, "Second sister was still two months away from giving birth, why did she suddenly go into labor prematurely?"

She knew that her second sister had always had difficulty in getting pregnant, so she had sent people to secretly protect her in the past few months.

But unexpectedly, she gave birth two months earlier than expected.

Could it be that someone is attacking my second sister again?

But now is not the time to pursue the matter, the most important thing is that my second sister gives birth!

She was a little restless.

"Is the midwife arranged by Concubine Mu a trustworthy person?"

Yu Cui reported, "Master, don't worry. Concubine Mu knew she was likely to give birth prematurely, so she found a midwife long ago."

Wanyu looked very bad and she walked back and forth in the hall anxiously.

Suddenly she was heading for the door.

"No, I'm worried about my second sister giving birth. I have to go to the South Third Institute and keep an eye on it myself."

Nanny Sun knelt in front of Wanyu and blocked her way.

With a respectful yet firm look, he stopped her and said, "Master, no!"

"I know you are worried about Concubine Mu."

"But if you, as the Crown Princess, personally go to the Fourth Prince's backyard and watch a concubine give birth, it is really against etiquette."

Wanyu complained loudly, "Madam Sun, that's my sister, not just a prince's concubine!"

Nanny Sun said even more respectfully, "This servant knows that the master and Concubine Mu have a special relationship."

"But my lady, please listen to me. If you still don't change your mind, you can do as you wish and punish me. I will have no complaints!"

Wanyu sat back on the kang beside her and said seriously, "Madam Sun, please speak."

Nanny Sun kowtowed to her master on the ground, and then expressed her worries with a desperate look on her face.

"Master, although you are the Crown Princess."

"But in the backyard of the Fourth Prince in the Southern Third House, the people who make the decisions are the Prince and his wife."

"If you insist on going to the Fourth Prince's backyard in person to watch the concubine give birth, it will not be a good thing for the concubine."

"Others will think you don't trust the Fourth Prince and his wife, and they might even think the concubine's premature birth was caused by the Prince and his wife."

"When the time comes, the prince and his wife will lose face and feel uncomfortable, and it will be the concubine who will suffer in the future."

"My lady, you should understand how important your reputation is to your survival in the palace."

After Nanny Sun gave this instruction, she stopped talking.

Wanyu was stunned, her heart tightened, and she began to hesitate.

But she really couldn't feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.

However, Nanny Sun's words of advice were not without reason.

Because she already understood what Nanny Sun meant.

If I did something bad with good intentions, and if my second sister was disliked by her two masters, her future would be almost blocked by me!

Seeing that her master really took her advice to heart, Nanny Sun continued to comfort her master and told him her countermeasures.

"If the master is truly worried about the concubine, I, as the head nanny of the Crown Princess, can personally watch over the concubine during her birthing."

As a servant who had served her master since childhood, Xia He was very aware of the deep sisterly love between the Second Princess and her master.

Naturally, I can understand the master's worries and difficulties at this time.

Although Nanny Sun had good intentions, she had only served the master for a short time, only three or four years. The master did not trust Nanny Sun as much as he trusted the other elders.

So she walked up to Wanyu, knelt down to salute, and volunteered.

"Master, I think what Madam Sun said makes sense."

"Master, it is not convenient for you to go to the South Third Residence to see the Concubine, but this servant can take your place and go and look after her in person."

"If the master is worried, I can go to the South Third House with Madam Sun."

Wanyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Oh~ Go ahead."

"Before you go, take the hundred-year-old ginseng from the warehouse with you, just in case."

The two bowed and replied, "Yes."

Wanyu hesitated for a moment and finally gave some advice.

"If...if the birth is not smooth and there is a dystocia."

"Remember to save the master! Save the master first!"

She stared sternly at the two confidants kneeling in front of her.

"If the concubine encounters a difficult labor, in the name of this Crown Princess, tell the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady that I will protect her!"

"Also, remind Imperial Physician Cui and Imperial Physician Yang that as long as Concubine Concubine is alive, their lives will be as well."

"I am a person who helps my relatives but not others!"

"If anything happens to Concubine Fujin, I will be the only one to vent my anger on her."

The two of them were shocked and responded in unison: "We understand."

"Master, rest assured. We, the servants, will definitely protect Concubine Jin!"

After the two left, even though Wanyu was worried at the moment, when she thought of her second sister's sudden premature birth, she hated the person behind it.

【Princess De! 】

[Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude! ]

After the two of them went out with their master's orders, Wanyu turned to look at Yucui beside her.

Then he stared at her.

"Didn't I ask you to arrange for someone to protect Concubine Mu's baby? Why did she suddenly go into premature labor?"

Yucui knelt down in panic and kowtowed to apologize.

"The concubine gave birth prematurely suddenly, and I haven't received any news yet."

"Please punish me, Master. This is my fault."

There was a strong sense of oppression in Wanyu's eyes when she looked at Yucui.

She ordered sternly, "Go check for me right now and find out why Concubine Fujin suddenly gave birth prematurely!"

"Find out for me whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose!"

"If this is truly an accident, then I will forgive you."

Her dark eyes were filled with ice, which made Yu Cui feel cold all over.

"If someone did this on purpose, then I will have no choice but to punish you for dereliction of duty!"

Yu Cui kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity."

"This time, I will not let my master down again and will find out who is behind this."

Wanyu's expression softened a little.

"Go."

"This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible!"

Yu Cui: "Yes."

After Yucui left, Xia Lian and Xia Lu went into the hall to serve Wanyu.

Wanyu thought about it, walked to the desk in the east room, took out paper and pen, and quickly wrote a letter.

【Humph! 】

[Since you've used the Wuya family's influence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cause trouble, I will make sure your Wuya family never rises again!]

She handed the letter to Xia Lu and said seriously.

"Take this letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and quietly hand it over to my uncle, Lord Maska, without letting anyone know."

Xia Lu took the letter and lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I will go right away."

After Xia Lu left, Xia Lian replaced Wanyu's cup with hot tea.

"Don't worry, Master."

"Fujin Mu's delivery this time will surely go smoothly."

Wanyu said worriedly, "I hope so."

She always had a bad feeling and wondered if it would come true.
