"Lan'er, you are pregnant and don't want to take good care of your baby in the palace. Why are you here?"
"Dad!" Wen Qinglan was a little in disbelief, "Brother is the only person who can take care of you until you die!"
Uncle Wen laughed: "Lan'er is confused. Ming Qian is my concubine, and Ming Xuan is the legitimate son. It is natural that Ming Xuan will be the one to take care of him until he is old."
But Wen Qinglan still refused to give up. She turned her head and looked at Wen Qingzhu: "Aren't you worried about Yue Niang?"
"Yue Niang? I took it over too?" Wen Qingzhu's smile became more and more meaningful.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yueniang walked in holding a baby who was babbling.
In Wen Qinglan's shocked eyes, Wen Shuquan looked at Yueniang tenderly: "Why are you carrying Mingyao here? You will be tired. Come on, give me a hug."
Yueniang looked at Wen Shuquan, who had no flaws, and her smile did not diminish: "I am still recuperating, so I can't trouble you."
She hugged the child and walked to Wen Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, look, this child will soon be able to call her sister?"
Wen Qingzhu touched Mingyao's face, and he suddenly chuckled.
Wen Qinglan couldn't believe this happy look.
She turned back to look at Wen Shuquan, only to see him looking at Yueniang and her son with a smile on his face.
"This... how is this possible!" Wen Qinglan couldn't believe it at all.
Mingyao was Wen Shuquan's disgrace, but it was he who found Wen Mingqian and sent a message to the Prince of Chu's Mansion asking for help!
Later, she visited her home. At that time, Uncle Wen wished he could eat Yueniang and her son.
Now he looks gentle!
The final outcome was that Wen Qinglan lost control of her emotions and felt a little unwell, so she left the Hou Mansion.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down.
Everyone's smiles disappeared, and Uncle Wen looked at the people on the throne expressionlessly: "Is Mrs. Ping Guohou still satisfied?"
"I'm satisfied. I hope Mr. Wen will cooperate well. If nothing else happens, Concubine Lan will give birth prematurely."
Wen Shuquan didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, and only said the last words: "Detoxify me as soon as possible!"
At night, Jiang Yuancheng came back exhausted.
After listening to Mammy's report, Jiang Yuancheng asked attentively: "Did she say that?"
"Yes!" Grandma nodded.
Jiang Yuancheng suddenly thought of something and turned around to send someone to find Dr. Mei.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yuancheng took Dr. Mei to Wen Qinglan's yard.
She was flustered when she got home.
She only now recalled everything that happened during the day. Wen Qingzhu was plotting against her.
Just as he was anxious, a report from a servant came from outside.
King Chu came over.
Wen Qinglan quickly thought of a reason, but when King Chu came in with Dr. Mei, she felt cold all over.
Jiang Yuanguo was really going to test the baby in her belly.
"Check Concubine Lan's pulse." Jiang Yuancheng gave the order expressionlessly.
Doctor Mei said he was offended and stepped forward to grab Wen Qinglan's wrist.
After careful analysis, Doctor Mei told Jiang Yuancheng: "Reporting to Your Highness, the child in Concubine Lan's belly is indeed more than nine months old."
"More than nine months." Jiang Yuancheng curled his lips. He remembered clearly that he did not leave Wen Qinglan at that time.
Seeing Jiang Yuancheng's increasingly cold eyes, Wen Qinglan knelt down regardless of her bloated belly, crying and praying: "Your Highness! This child is really yours! The person who served Your Highness that time was a concubine, not Wen Qingzhu!"
After letting Wen Qinglan cry and beg for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yuancheng still gave the order: "Give Concubine Lan a chance to give birth, and then drop her blood for a blood test!"
Hearing these words, Wen Qinglan finally stopped weakly.
She looked at Jiang Yuancheng's cold eyes and felt a sense of despair in her heart.
Next, Wen Qinglan was dragged to the room.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, painful screams came from inside.
Compared with the normal amniotic fluid breaking, Wen Qinglan was induced by drugs and was in extreme pain.
She kept shouting for more than two hours before the baby was born without any risk.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion had prepared Wen Po early, so the child was taken out as soon as it landed.
A bowl of water was placed in front of him. Jiang Yuancheng cut his finger and squeezed a drop of blood into the bowl.
Although Po Wen felt sorry for her child, she had no choice in front of the powerful.
She took out the baby's little hand, opened the baby's fingers with all her strength, and as His Majesty drew the baby's blood, Wenpo also dripped the baby's blood into the bowl.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two drops of blood slowly merged together.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuancheng's eyes became warmer: "Take the child down and take good care of it!"
"Yes." Wenpo hugged the child and stepped back.
Seeing that Jiang Yuancheng seemed relieved, Doctor Mei hesitated and said, "The concubine hasn't fallen asleep yet. She wants to see His Highness."
"No need!" Jiang Yuancheng stood up and left without even asking whether the child was a boy or a girl.
Doctor Mei glanced briefly, then sighed and walked away.
Early the next morning, news came from the Chu Palace that Concubine Lan had given birth to a daughter.
When going down to court, Jiang Yuancheng stopped Fu Lie and said, "Master Marquis, can you please give me the honor to chat with me?"
Fu Lie knew what happened in Prince Chu's Mansion yesterday, and it seemed that Jiang Yuancheng also knew the truth.
"good."
The place where the two people chatted was outside the Jinluan Hall.
Standing in front of the stone railing of the outer corridor, Jiang Yuancheng and Fu Lie stood side by side, looking in the direction of the palace gate.
After the courtiers retreated, Jiang Yuancheng asked directly: "Is the child yours?"
"The King of Chu is joking. The child born to my wife will naturally belong to me." Fu Lie showed a rare strength.
Jiang Yuancheng looked sideways and met Fu Lie's eyes.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and finally Jiang Yuancheng spoke: "Were you also in the Chu Prince's Mansion that day?"
"Yes." Fu Lie did not hide it.
Jiang Yuancheng already knew what he should know. Fu Lie cupped his hands and said goodbye.
When Fu Lie retracted his hand, Jiang Yuancheng saw a faint scar on his palm.
This made Jiang Yuancheng instantly understand the blood on the bed that day and the injury on Fu Lie's hand later!
"Fu Lie!" Jiang Yuancheng had never been so angry that he couldn't help but move his hands.
It's a pity that Fu Lie's martial arts skills are unparalleled.
The moment Jiang Yuancheng made his move, Fu Lie blocked the attack faster and said indifferently: "No one else can blame the King of Chu for being careless."
Shaking off Jiang Yuancheng's hand, Fu Lie turned and left.
Jiang Yuancheng stared closely at Fu Lie's leaving figure, and then slapped him hard on the stone railing!
"You forced me to do this!"
In mid-October, Marquis Pingguo received the imperial edict to confer the title of Crown Prince, and the capital was in an uproar.
If you invite Prince Feng at this time, aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening
Immediately afterwards, Pingguo Houfu sent an invitation to the full moon wine.
According to Wen Qingzhu's wishes, it would be best to invite everyone who has contacts with Fu Lie.
But Fu Lie was worried about an accident, so he only invited two people with whom he had a good relationship.
Even so, there are still many customers.
The day of October 28th arrived as promised, and Marquis Pingguo did not invite anyone from the Prince of Chu's palace.
But early that morning, Jiang Yuancheng came uninvited and brought Wen Qinglan and her daughter with him.
Fu Lie came after hearing the news and stopped the people from Prince Chu's Mansion before they entered.
"Master Hou, are you not letting people in?" Jiang Yuancheng asked with a smile.
Fu Lie glanced at Wen Qinglan and his daughter who were following behind him, and simply said: "Your love has just spoken out. It would be better for King Chu to take his concubine and your love home to rest."
"Lan'er, what do you mean? Do you and Zhu'er need a rest?" King Chu looked sideways at the person behind him, with a cold and threatening tone.
"No, no need." Wen Qinglan held the child, lowered her head, and murmured in reply.
Fu Lie frowned, what did he hear just now
Jiang Yuancheng called Zhu'er
Seeing that Fu Lie's eyes fell on the child in Wen Qinglan's arms, Jiang Yuancheng said meaningfully: "This king has given her a nickname, Zhu'er. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Faced with such a provocation, Fu Lie turned sideways and gave way without changing his expression: "Your Highness, please come inside."
Immediately afterwards, Fu Lie looked up and saw the emperor's honor guard appearing at the end of the road.
The Marquis Mansion held a full-moon banquet, which was not originally a happy event.
But once the emperor arrived, the event seemed to be particularly festive.
At this moment, many people are regretting not having a good relationship with the peaceful country.
But inside the Hou Mansion, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Wen Qingzhu appeared, but without his children.
Along with Jiang Yue, in addition to Concubine Wei, there was also Concubine Luo, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
She went over to salute and say hello, and Jiang Yue raised his hand to let her get up.
"Where are you praying for blessings? Why don't you take it out and have a look?"
Wen Qingzhu had already prepared his words: "I got sick two days before reciting the blessing. I have been afraid to let him see the wind for the past few days. Please forgive me."
Thinking of Wen Qingzhu giving birth to a child in such a way, Jiang Yue had always heard that the child was in poor health.
So much so that Ping Guohou and his wife went to Fengguo Temple every two days.
Every time I go there, I either donate money for incense or invite Jade Guanyin.
Dr. Gan has also been to the Hou Mansion several times. Premature children are weak and difficult to raise.
When Fu Lie invited him to be the crown prince, Jiang Yue was still a little worried.
But seeing how much the couple cared about this child, Jiang Yue understood two things.
After asking a few simple questions, Wen Qingzhu sat down.
But as soon as he sat down, a particularly discordant voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"My sister and the Marquis were married less than eight months ago, but the child was born two months ago. Can a child who is less than six months old really survive?"
Such a sharp question, even if there were occasional rumors in the capital, they were overshadowed by the incident of caesarean section.
What's more, the Marquis of Pingguo is at the peak of his powers, holding great power, and Wen Qingzhu saves the people from danger, so most people won't deliberately say anything.
But today, Wen Qinglan put this issue out bluntly.
The scene was quiet for a moment. Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing. He slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't it true? The six-month-old child really survived. If Concubine Lan is curious, wait for the child Won’t you know when you come here and take a look when you are one year old?”
Wen Qinglan didn't expect that Wen Qingzhu would dare to say that. Not to mention that eight months was considered premature, and seven-month-old babies rarely survived.
According to previous calculations, Wen Qingzhu's child was indeed born more than seven months ago.
If you give birth to a baby in six months, it can only be a stillbirth!
But what she never expected was that Wen Qingzhu would admit it like this.
For a moment, no one dared to question it. After all, Wen Qingzhu’s medical skills were peerless. What if there really was a miracle!
This is what the common people thought, but people in high positions knew that Fu Lie's urgent request for marriage must be because Wen Qingzhu was pregnant.
It is not that unmarried pregnancies are not uncommon among the powerful in the capital.
As long as your status is high enough and your power is powerful enough, no one over there will dare to question anything.
For example, Li Qing, who was almost four months pregnant before entering Prince Ning's Mansion, gave birth to her child in less than six months.
Just because of the power of Prince Ning and Marquis Jingyuan, no one dared to question it.
The same goes for Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie.
It's just that Wen Qinglan said it at this juncture, I'm afraid...
Everyone looked at Jiang Yuancheng quietly. After all, Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuancheng had an unclear relationship before.
Wen Qinglan was speechless, but Jiang Yuancheng came out and explained: "I'm sorry, I scared Madam. It's really because Lan'er loves her daughter so much. She gave birth to Zhu'er early, and the child had the root cause of the disease. I heard that Madam His medical skills are unparalleled. If he can save a child less than six months old, he must be able to save Zhu'er as well."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became subtle.
The King of Chu called his daughter Zhu'er? !
