If she hadn't heard that Fang Qingyi had really seen blood, the princess wouldn't have come over in the middle of the night. She looked at Fang Qingyi's frightened expression and asked, "What's going on?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Madam just gave a few suggestions." Fang Qingyi wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
The word "ti dian" can be big or small. It can be ordinary advice or a reprimand.
"Maybe it's because I'm pregnant and tend to have wild thoughts. I'm just a concubine now, and my status is different from before. Madam's suggestion made me have wild thoughts and that's why I got pregnant. It's not Madam's fault..."
The princess frowned, looking at Fang Qingyi with a look of disappointment. This was her sister's daughter, a child she had watched grow up.
"You also know that you are just a concubine now? You also know that your current status is different from before?" Princess Jinnan sighed, "Our Fang family is a marquisate with generations of nobility. You followed your mother back home and changed your surname to Fang, making you the golden branch and jade leaf of our marquisate! You don't want a bright future, but insist on being a concubine! You have brought yourself down from the clouds to the mud with your own hands!"
The Princess of Jinnan became more and more angry as she spoke, and she felt more and more uncomfortable for Fang Qingyi. As a woman, she knew too well how lowly the status of a concubine was in this world.
Fang Qingyi's hands on her knees were tightly clenched around the handkerchief, the knuckles turning white. She lowered her head, tears falling on the back of her hands.
Every word Princess Jinnan said was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
She regretted it, she regretted it a long time ago!
But she had come to this point, what else could she do? As the legal wife, she could still fight for a peaceful divorce, but as a concubine, she could only ask for a divorce letter at best, and end up being sold and abandoned.
There was no turning back for her.
Determination gradually emerged in her tearful eyes. She slowly raised her head, her gaze lingered on the Jinnan Princess's belly for a moment longer before she looked up at the Princess and said, "Aunt, Qingyi really knows she was wrong. She didn't protect the child well, got the miscarriage, and made Aunt come here so late to make trouble. It's Qingyi's fault!"
"It's too late. Let's go back." The King of Jinnan stood up. These matters in the harem were his son's affairs, and he didn't want to get involved. But the princess was pregnant now, and this was considered a child in old age, and he valued it very much. He was worried about the princess coming alone, so he followed her in person.
Princess Jinnan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone: "Take good care of your pregnancy. If you are really suspicious, go out less, and you will feel at ease."
"Yes..." Fang Qingyi stood up, holding Lu Shu's arm, "I'm seeing my uncle and aunt off."
"You take a rest. There's no need to see me off." The princess said, and turned around and walked out with the Princess of Jinnan.
Although the princess didn't need to see her off, Fang Qingyi still saw her off to the gate of the courtyard. She stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the princess' waist, her eyes fixed.
Fang Qingyi turned around and walked back. Hongzhan came out from the corner and came towards her. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
Fang Qingyi glanced over coldly and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you being so shy?"
There was a bit of struggle in Hongzan's eyes. She had been working for Fang Qingyi since she was very young and knew her very well. Although she couldn't guess what Fang Qingyi wanted to do, she could see that Fang Qingyi must be planning something.
"Master, you are pregnant with the prince's child now. Why don't you give birth to the child well and serve the prince well?" Hong Zan advised in a low voice.
Fang Qingyi smiled.
She looked at Hong Zan and said, "You want me to be more content and spend my time trying to please the prince?"
This is exactly what Hong Zan meant, but it was not stated so bluntly.
Fang Qingyi found it even more ridiculous.
"Becoming a lowly concubine, serving the same man as my former maid, and even competing for his favor?" Fang Qingyi stopped laughing, "Hongzan, you were originally a slave, but I was not!"
Not only was she not a slave in the past, she was also the precious jewel in the palm of the marquis's mansion.
How could she be willing
Impossible.
Fang Qingyi flicked her sleeves, turned and walked into the house, leaving Hong Zan standing in the darkness of the yard with her eyes lowered sadly.
On their way back, the King and wife of Jinnan met their subordinates who were rushing over.
"Your Highness, something happened in the palace!" This man was called Yu Ning, and he was the confidant of the King of Jinnan.
King Jinnan frowned and asked, "Has the real culprit behind the assassination of Prince Qi been found?"
King Jinnan asked this, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart. To be able to assassinate the eldest son of the prince under the feet of heaven and earth, this behavior is bold and arrogant? I'm afraid that wanting to assassinate Chen Qi is fake, and wanting to frame someone is the real thing. But now the smoke is so thick that it's hard to tell the truth from the false. His father's suspicion is getting worse and worse. King Jinnan has no intention of fighting for the throne. Now that the princess has a child, he doesn't want to get involved in those things.
Everyone in the court knew that the emperor was not very satisfied with the crown prince. As his father got older, the matter of re-establishing a crown prince was imminent. In the past six months, His Majesty had often summoned the emperor's grandchildren to the palace, and it was inevitable that there was some reference in it.
King Jinnan was pondering the current situation and noticed that Yu Ning looked troubled.
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and asked coldly, "Is the prince in trouble again?"
Yu Ning's face was extremely ugly. He struggled a lot before he spoke tentatively: "Today, several princes had a small gathering in the palace. Maybe they drank too much..."
When he heard that he had drunk too much, the corners of King Jinnan's forehead twitched.
Yu Ning swallowed his saliva and continued, "The prince may have been confused after drinking. I don't know how he got into a conflict with Prince Xun and even overturned the table. The queen tried to persuade him, but he yelled and refused to let the queen speak..."
After Yu Ning finished his report, he knelt down with a plop.
The King of Jinnan was furious and was about to lose his temper when the princess next to him swayed. He quickly supported the princess, suppressed his anger, and gently advised: "Don't be angry! Your health is more important! You are two people now!"
The princess sighed tiredly and leaned on the arm of King Jinnan.
Seeing the princess like this, King Jinnan hurriedly picked her up and sent her back first. He didn't care about Chen Anzhi, and before leaving, he told Yu Ning to wait for Chen Anzhi to come back and give her medicine to sober her up before going to see him.
When Yu Ning reported to the King of Jinnan, Chen Anzhi had already returned to the palace. He had lost control of himself after drinking in the palace and had been given a sobering soup. Now his mind was half sober and half still had the effects of the alcohol.
In other words, the irritability medicine that Fang Qingyi fed him gradually took effect. The medicine that Fang Qingyi fed him was not a poison, but it made Chen Anzhi become extremely irritable after drinking.
Fang Qingyi had given him this drug on the day he married You Yuji. That was why he acted so absurdly on the day of his wedding—speaking without restraint and behaving out of line.
As soon as he came back, Chen Anzhi learned from Wangshan that Fang Qingyi had seen blood. He swayed his body and ran straight to Anxiangyuan.
Fang Qingyi didn't know that Chen Anzhi had caused trouble in the palace and was punished, and was very angry. But she knew that after Chen Anzhi drank, the drug would take effect.
She said nothing, but just looked at Chen Anzhi pitifully with tearful eyes.
"I've heard from people that when you went to Wan'an Temple to pray for your child today, you met You Yuzhi. That vicious woman scolded and scared you, which caused your miscarriage!" Chen Anzhi felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. This fire kept burning, making him feel very suffocated. This fire was running rampant in his body, looking for an outlet.
"No." Fang Qingyi shook her head gently. "Madam is kind to others. She just gave me a few advice. She definitely didn't mean to harm our child. Cousin, please believe me! I am the one who loves to imagine things. It has nothing to do with Madam... Cousin, please don't misunderstand Madam because of me and our child..."
"It's already this time, and you're still speaking for her?" Chen Anzhi paced back and forth in the room angrily. The fire in his heart made him angrily throw the bottle of red plums on the high table, and the porcelain shattered all over the floor.
Fang Qingyi hurried over, pulled Chen Anzhi's sleeve, and said with a sob: "Cousin, please don't be like this. Let's make a big deal out of a small matter, okay? Our child is fine, my husband..."
"You should have a good rest here." Chen Anzhi walked out with a gloomy face.
When he reached the door, he said to Wangshan in a cold voice: "Let's go to Tanxiang Yingyue!"
Fang Qingyi didn't know that even though there was the influence of drugs, the reason why Chen Anzhi was so angry was not only because of the baby in her belly. It was also because he heard about Chen Qi's assassination on the way back. When he first heard about it, he was really worried about Chen Qi, but he also heard that You Yuji was there at the time.
—Could it be that these two people were having a private meeting at that time
Fang Qingyi stood at the door, watching Chen Anzhi walk away with tears in her eyes, and then turned away. She sat back on the couch, sneered, and slowly cracked pumpkin seeds.
Hongzan stood at the window, listening to the noise outside and sighed softly.
When Chen Anzhi arrived at Tanxiang Yingyue, You Yuzhi had already gone to bed.
"You Yuji, come out!" Chen Anzhi rushed in.
Zhenxu and Baohe quickly put on their coats, stood up, and blocked the door to the inner room to stop the aggressive Chen Anzhi.
"Madam has gone to bed. Young Master, please talk tomorrow if you have anything to say." Zhenxu advised kindly.
"Get out of the way!" Chen Anyi pushed the pillow away.
Bao He stretched out his arms to block the door and raised his voice: "The prince is drunk, go back and rest!"
Madam Jing heard the noise, and hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, and hurried over with several maids. When she arrived, she saw Chen An kicking Bao He down.
Madam Jing took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked out—to the front yard to invite the princess.
Just as Chen Anzhi was about to kick the door, it was opened from the inside. You Yuzhi stood at the door, frowning and looking at him.
Chen Anzhi came in from outside and walked such a long dark road. His vision had not yet fully recovered when You Yuji's beautiful face, as bright as jade, suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was dazed.
The burning flame in my heart seemed to stop for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
You Yuji bent down and helped Baohe up from the floor. Then she turned to look at Chen Anzhi and said calmly, "Did the prince come to my place to act drunk?"
Chen Anzhi took a deep breath. He thought he would ask about Wan'an Temple, but what he said was: "Did you have a secret meeting with Chen Qi?"
Chen Anzhi bit the tip of his tongue.
You Yuji's gaze was cold, distant, and calm.
You Yuji's indifference hurt Chen Anzhi even more. Why? Just because he was drunk and confused on the wedding day, she treated him like this? She abandoned the wife and didn't care about him at all? Why couldn't she be like a wife - gentle and considerate
At least, you should care about him.
She was his wife! But she looked at him as if he were a stranger!
The fire in Chen Anzhi's heart burned more and more intensely.
"Evil woman! An unfaithful evil woman!" Chen Anzhi didn't want to see You Yuji's cold eyes again. He looked away, turned around, walked around the room, and angrily smashed the vase with red plums in it one after another.
The ground was in a mess.
The pillow was so angry that she almost cried. There will be guests tomorrow. Each of these vases was carefully picked up by the maids! It took most of the afternoon to finish.
Si Que heard the noise coming from You Yuji's side and frowned unhappily. He endured the headache, put on his clothes and walked out, standing under the eaves in the cold wind, looking towards You Yuji's house.
Madam Jing had not returned from her visit to invite the princess, but You Heng had already stepped into Tanxiang Yingyue. The servant who tried to stop him from reporting was grabbed by the collar and thrown away.
