After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 280 Giving birth to a stillborn baby

Chang'an, in Princess Huaying's mansion.

Princess Huaying began to suffer from abdominal pain and her water broke at noon, but it has been difficult to give birth.

Lu Hang stood at the door, listening to the painful cries inside, his brows were slightly frowned.

Mei Qingyan went in and out and ordered the maids to stay busy for a moment. Mei Qingyan gave birth to three children, and it was easy to give birth.

This time, seeing her daughter-in-law's water broke for two hours and still unable to give birth, she felt nervous, and hearing Hua Ying's cry of pain was even more distressing.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Hearing the voices outside, Lu Hang went out to meet him and said, "Your Highness."

Zhao Jue asked, "How is Huaying?"

Lu Hangdao: "Still alive..."

Zhao Jue listened to the shouts inside, and said slowly: "When Jing Shu was born properly, it was also so difficult, and in the end it hurt her bones."

Lu Hang frowned slightly and said, "It's really not easy for the princess."

Zhao Jue said slowly again: "The Eastern Palace has been childless for the past few years, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor urged her hard, but at that time it was not easy for Jing Shu to give birth to an orphaned child, and it was not easy for the other concubines in the Eastern Palace to give birth to the grandson before her."

Lu Hang said: "The prince is a good husband."

Zhao Jue looked at Lu Hang and said, "It's not easy for Jingshu to be in the palace for the past few years. The emperor's grandmother urged her to recuperate. It's also difficult for her to recuperate. Therefore, I plan to take the child of the woman next to me as Jingshu's, so that Jingshu will be less stressed and anxious. What do you think?"

Lu Hang didn't know why His Royal Highness wanted to discuss this matter with him, so he could only say: "Your Highness, this idea is very good."

Hearing the pained cries of his sister inside, Zhao Jue felt a trace of guilt flash in his heart, but this guilt was only fleeting.

Since the fortune teller has said that Lu Wanzhi and Aheng are both children and grandchildren, it doesn't matter if he wants to leave a child, right?

Lu Hang thought about it for a while, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always benevolent, and he was afraid that the mother and the child would be upset, so he came here to talk to him about his troubles, and he didn't care too much, and his whole mind was on Hua Ying, who was giving birth in the house.

"Ah! Ghost!"

"Freak, freak!"

There were bursts of screams from inside, and Lu Hang went inside.

Seeing Mei Qingyan hugging a freak with no nose and no eyes, covered in bruises, it was so frightening that even the well-informed Wen Po and the imperial doctor were terrified.

"Let me see the child!" Hua Ying stretched out his hand, "Let me see."

Mei Qingyan turned to Huaying, her voice choked up, and said: "Princess, this child died as soon as he was born, you should stop watching."

Mei Qingyan had been looking forward to becoming a grandmother for a child who was pregnant for ten months, but she was not good at women, but she still made small clothes for the child with her own hands.

Even if she knew that Huaying was a princess, the embroiderer beside her would definitely make clothes for the child. Mei Qingyan always felt uneasy and made clothes by herself.

But I didn't expect the child born in the end to be so strange...

"His Royal Highness, this is the place where women give birth, you come in..."

Zhao Jue said: "Hua Ying is Gu's own sister, so she doesn't have so many scruples."

Zhao Jue walked to Mei Qingyan's side and saw the child in Mei Qingyan's hands. Concubine Shumu gave birth to such a freak.

It's just that giving birth to a freak in the palace is not a good thing, it was suppressed abruptly, and no one knew about it except for a few insiders.

Zhao Jue glanced at Huaying, who was crying and wanted to see the child, and asked, "Did you take any medicine?"

Hua Ying continued: "No, all my tonics are given by the imperial physician, brother emperor, my child, let me see my child!"

Zhao Jue looked at Huaying coldly and said, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

Hua Ying bit her lower lip and said: "Brother Huang, this is my child, how could I harm my child by taking medicine indiscriminately, this is the child I gave birth to in October! My child..."

Hua Ying burst into tears, full of sadness, "Lu Hang, let me see our child."

Lu Hang held Hua Ying's hand and said, "Don't watch it, it's sad, we will have children."

Huaying said in pain: "Let me take a look, he is so good in my stomach, why, why did he become a freak? Who wants to hurt me? Who wants to hurt me?"

Lu Hang embraced Hua Ying who was crying bitterly.

Zhao Jue said to the landing channel: "Check, we must thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Lu Hang nodded and said, "Yes."

……

Shanyin City.

Si's house was besieged for almost [-] days, and Zhao Heng finally waited for someone from the court to come.

Seeing that it was Gu Shiyu who came to investigate the case, Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Uncle Huang really loves me and asked you to investigate Si's house. Isn't the silver that was seized by Si's house just for the people of Shanyin?"

But Gu Shiyu said: "Don't be too happy, this case is not trivial, and the money will naturally be reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty will deal with it."

"This Si Yan is from Shanyin, shouldn't his silver be for Shanyin?"

Gu Shiyu said: "I'm from Kuaiji, when did I become a native of Shanyin County? Don't change your hometown indiscriminately, are you short of money?"

Zhao Hengqing nodded and said, "Very short."

Gu Shiyu generously took out the banknote from his purse and gave it to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng smiled lightly and said, "It's just my best brother. By the way, why didn't Meng Ao come with you? I've written several letters to him."

Gu Shiyu said: "Meng Ao has an official position now, so it's not easy for him to leave Chang'an."

"Gu Shizi is here." Lu Wanzhi was in the government office, seeing Gu Shiyu coming, said with a chuckle, "I didn't expect the imperial court to send Gu Shiyu here."

Seeing Lu Wanzhi, Gu Shiyu said, "Princess Princess, this is a letter from Lu Hang entrusting me to you."

Lu Wanzhi took the envelope with both hands and said: "It's true that I haven't received a letter from home for two days. By the way, is Princess Huaying born? Is it a nephew or a niece?"

Gu Shiyu sighed and said, "A few days before I left Chang'an, Princess Huaying was born, and she was stillborn."

"what?"

Lu Wanzhi felt sick to her stomach when she heard the words, and wanted to vomit.

Zhao Heng asked repeatedly: "How could Huaying give birth to a stillborn baby?"

Gu Shiyu said: "It's okay to say it's a stillbirth. I've seen that child who didn't even have a nose and eyes, but only had one mouth. He died as soon as he came out, and his whole body was bruised. He was said to be a monster..."

Zhao Heng took a deep breath, looked at Lu Wanzhi's stomach, "How could it be like this? Isn't my father, mother, elder brother and Hua Ying very sad?"

Gu Shiyu sighed and said: "Oh, when I came, Princess Huaying shed tears all day long, she was very pitiful, she couldn't sit well during the confinement period, and heard from the imperial doctor that her bones were very bad, no wonder you couldn't receive letters, how could the Lu family have the heart to write letters?

This letter from Lu Hang was also reminded of me to take it with me when I knew I was coming to Shanyin. "

Lu Wanzhi opened the letter with trembling hands, in which the eldest brother only mentioned the matter of the child as a dead baby, and wanted her to write more letters back to comfort her parents.

Lu Wanzhi asked Gu Shiyu with his hands, "Did someone intentionally harm Princess Huaying?"

Gu Shiyu said: "I don't know about that. Originally, I wanted to help Lu Hang investigate. When A-Heng's letter arrived, I was sent to Shanyin by His Majesty. I don't know if anyone was found drugged afterwards."
