The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

Compared to Zhu Xiaoyan's plan to use Cuiping to expose the affair between Xiao Chenshi and Lu Yan, there was something that surprised Gu Qingwan even more.

"What did you say? Gu Hanjiao miscarried?"

"Your Highness, yes, Consort Gu miscarried, and I heard it was a fully formed boy."

"How could this happen? Gu Hanjiao has always cherished this pregnancy, how could this be..."

Faced with Gu Qingwan's question, Siqi quickly recounted what she had heard.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but I heard that the Third Prince removed it himself."

Baoqin said, somewhat unable to accept it, "Shouldn't the Princess know such details? After all..."

"What's wrong with that? Our Princess is a healer, what doesn't she know? Sister Baoqin, you're being a little too cautious," Siqi said disapprovingly.

Baoqin suddenly realized that she had been protecting the princess too tightly, making her forget that the princess was actually a divine physician.

"princess……"

“It’s alright, Baoqin. I know you’re just trying to be nice to me. There’s no need to deliberately avoid these kinds of things. You’re just worried that I don’t have any children yet and that these dirty things will offend my ears. But if we’re here and don’t know how to be careful, we won’t be able to avoid these kinds of private matters sooner or later.”

"Your Highness is right. I was being narrow-minded."

"Alright, you guys don't need to stand anymore, sit down and talk. I think the plum-flavored melon seeds that Ruhua made taste pretty good."

The four maids looked at each other, then each found a suitable place to sit down, all waiting to hear the gossip from Siqi.

"This matter has spread far and wide. It's said that an adult shop opened at the east end of the brothel alley, and the things they sell there... well, they're despicable, but the business is booming. They're full of novelties. Consort Gu sent people to buy things in order to keep the Third Prince's favor."

"Everyone was wondering who owned this shop. Eventually, someone with ulterior motives dug it out: it was Consort Gu. Consort Gu has now shot herself in the foot. Perhaps she played too cleverly, because that very night, screams came from her room, waking up the entire Third Prince's residence. Sure enough, Consort Gu started bleeding, and later suffered a postpartum hemorrhage. She couldn't save the baby, but thankfully, the mother managed to stay afloat..."

After hearing this, Ru Hua still couldn't help but sigh, "Amitabha, a true immortal, so the Third Prince is... well, will the Third Prince really become impotent in the future?"

"Pfft..." Baoqin spat out a mouthful of tea. "Cough cough cough."

"Oh dear, Sister Baoqin, what's wrong? Let me soothe you."

"It's okay, I'm fine," Baoqin waved her hand.

Gu Qingwan and the others couldn't help but laugh. She said seriously, "What Ruhua said is not without reason. If a man is frightened in this regard, he may really have a problem in the future."

"Oh? That Third Prince is really pitiful."

“What’s so pitiful about Consort Gu? I think Consort Gu is a bit pitiful.” Siqi continued, “I heard that the imperial physician who came said on the spot that Consort Gu’s chances of getting pregnant in the future are not high. I guess that’s a very conservative estimate. It’s very likely that she will be unable to have children.”

"Hmph, that's because they didn't meet our Princess Consort. If our Princess Consort were to take action, she would seize even the slightest chance of survival!"

“Ruhua is right!” Shishu chimed in from the side.

In the days that followed, the Emperor was indeed furious. This was the first grandchild in the royal family, and the young couple had ruined him. The Emperor issued an edict reprimanding the Third Prince, Xiao Yuheng, saying that he was neglecting his duties in the inner chambers and had damaged his private morality... In short, he scolded his son severely and ordered him to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes. He handed over all his work to the Second Prince, Xiao Yuhuai.

Xiao Yuheng's anger cannot be described as mere exasperation. He has not only lost his political advantage but has also become the laughingstock of the entire capital.

No matter how Gu Hanjiao asked people to call him, Xiao Yuheng ignored her.

Besides being a little angry, what made Xiaoyu even more embarrassed was that whenever he saw Gu Hanjiao, he would remember what happened that night, which made him fearful of matters between men and women.

"Third Prince, Chunlu, who serves Consort Gu, has come to invite you over again. She says that Consort Gu's condition is not good."

"If you're not feeling well, go find a doctor, ask the imperial physician. What use is it for me, a prince, to consult a doctor?"

Yu Xinqiu's eyes flickered, and she turned around to personally present the bird's nest she had brought to Xiao Yuheng.

“Cousin, Sister Gu’s health is indeed not good now, and with Prime Minister Gu gone, Sister Gu must be suffering in silence. Alas, Sister Gu has lost both parents, and the only people left in the world besides the Third Prince are the Princess Consort of Chu, but the Princess Consort of Chu does not acknowledge Consort Gu as her sister.”

Xiao Yuheng frowned and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could the Princess Consort of Chu recognize a concubine as her sister? You can't say things like that in the future."

"I know I was wrong." Yu Xinqiu stood beside Xiao Yuheng, gently touching the back of his neck with her hand, which was quite seductive. "Two days ago, my father said that he had obtained a fine coral. It was completely red and extremely beautiful. I will have my father send it in in a couple of days."

Normally, if Xiao Yuheng received something good, he would definitely pamper Yu Xinqiu. Moreover, the things sent by the Yu family were always priceless, and several more boxes of gold and silver would be sent as tribute later.

His original intention was to stay overnight at Xinqiu Courtyard, but just as he pulled Yu Xinqiu into his arms and tried to get close to her, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially that one spot, which not only did not react at all, but also felt a little painful.

Xiao Yuheng was furious. He pushed Yu Xinqiu away and left the mansion without looking back.

Xiao Yuheng felt very complicated. Although some time had passed, Gu Hanjiao's appearance that night was still vivid in his mind. She was still looking seductive under him, but in the blink of an eye, her face turned pale. Both of them were covered in blood, both on their bodies and on the bed.

It was really bad luck; he washed for a long time but still felt it wasn't clean.

When Consort Yu learned of this, she sent someone to Qingquan Temple to request talismanic water, saying it was to ward off evil spirits and ensure the safety of the Third Prince.

But what's going on now? He's a man, surely he can't be impotent because of this? Logically speaking, he should go see a doctor he trusts.

But this kind of thing concerns a man's dignity, so how could he go to see a doctor? The only way to prove that he is not in any problem is through a woman.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yuheng headed straight for the brothel.

When Yin Ping heard from her servants that the Third Prince had been seen in the brothel, she was initially taken aback.

"Are you sure you're seeing clearly? Is it really the Third Prince?"

"Boss lady, this young man wouldn't lie, he really is the Third Prince."

"Just the Third Prince by himself?"

"The Third Prince came with a servant. He was in a hurry. He told us to find a clean girl to send over, and then he didn't say anything else."
