Glory all the way

Chapter 306 Edge
Back in Yixin Garden, seeing the familiar furnishings in the house and the concerned faces of Chen Xiang and the others, Bai Yingluo's tense mind gradually relaxed.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of Brother Yan in the cloak, Bai Yingluo realized that there were already densely packed little crescent moons embedded in her palms, and at this moment, she felt pain like needle pricks.

With Bai Yingluo's rank, she could only bring one maid into the palace, but this time because she was going to bring brother Yan into the palace, she only brought a wet nurse.

In the room, when the wet nurse talked about what happened in the main hall of the East Palace at noon, she still had lingering fears.

A quiet room.

When Bai Yingluo raised her head again, she saw Du Xuan standing outside the door with a livid face, and the two hands hanging beside her were tightly clenched into fists. The gloomy breath of people.

Getting up and going forward, Bai Yingluo took Du Xuan's arm and dragged him into the house.

"Isn't my son and I doing well?"

Pretending to be relaxed and speaking, Bai Yingluo didn't notice it, her hands were still cold without any warmth.

In the main hall of the Eastern Palace, only the palace lanterns in the corner emitted a soft light, while the rest of the people, because they dared not move around, did not have time to light up the lights, and there was a gloomy chill in the whole hall.

"You said, if the First Prince had a spirit in heaven, would he choose to be born in your belly?"

The prince looked at the princess who was kneeling in front of him and asked.

The weeping gradually became louder, and it turned into a loud cry. The princess shook her head and said to herself: "It's not me, it's not me, it's them, they killed Rui'er, it's them..."

As she said that, the princess looked up at the prince, full of resentment, "Since you don't like me, why did you give me this child? But what have you done? Are you a qualified father? You are all about them, why have you ever given me this child?" Have you thought about it, there are still your wife and your eldest son who need you to cherish?"

Painful guilt appeared on the prince's face, and he couldn't answer a single word to the princess' question.

And the grievances that had been suppressed in the princess's heart for a long time erupted at this moment, "We are all pregnant with your flesh and blood, but how did you treat her and me? You are also the prince, Rui'er is still the eldest son of the prince. , How did you treat them? Since you don't want our mother and child, what right do you have to say that about me?"

The tears on her face dried up layer by layer, and the original delicate makeup was already worn out. The princess who always pays attention to her appearance didn't care at all, she just sat on the ground, clutching the handkerchief in her hand, and said to herself: " My Rui'er, he is so cute and beautiful, but he hasn't even called me mother, my Rui'er...it's you, it's you who killed him..."

Saying that, the Crown Princess straightly got up and walked to the inner hall with heavy steps. She seemed to be sitting in front of the bed and hugged the eldest prince's already cold body, and sang a familiar tune.

I learned the truth from Imperial Physician Xu that the Eldest Prince's time is running out, and it was the Crown Princess who wanted to blame Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo, so she used medicine to forcibly delay the Eldest Prince's life until today.

At this moment, the prince didn't even know how to deal with this matter.

Did you say that the crown princess killed the eldest prince?But all of what she did was caused by herself. In the final analysis, it was all her own fault.Even if she didn't do anything, the First Prince would still have this day.

The crown prince's fault was that she shouldn't have thought about letting Lin Zhimei and the second prince be buried with the eldest prince.

What's more, Bai Yingluo and Brother Yan were also involved.

With a headache, the prince sat alone in the main hall for a long time.

On the second day, a white curtain was hung in the East Palace to mourn for the First Prince.

Because the Eldest Prince is not yet one year old, the palace cannot hold a funeral for him, nor will there be a grand funeral. The Crown Princess can only set up a simple mourning hall for the Eldest Prince in her capacity as a mother, and bury his tiny body. The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the coffin to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

If this was not a child born to the Crown Princess, but from any side concubine or concubine, at this moment, it could only be wrapped in swaddling clothes and thrown on a mass grave outside, let alone a mourning hall.

Although the eldest prince's early death was caused by the crown princess, but considering that the eldest prince was already weak and the crown princess had experienced the pain of bereavement, the queen just ordered the crown princess to stay in the East Palace. Take a step outside and copy the Lotus Sutra [-] times to atone for your sins.

It was the end of October when the matter subsided, and the crown prince was still waiting for the door to apologize with generous gifts. For a while, the originally complicated and confusing matter was close to the truth in the word of mouth of the people.

"The second prince is so pitiful. If the madam and Concubine Lin hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been killed by the princess."

In the afternoon when the weather was warm, Brother Yan took a bath, Liusu handed a handkerchief to Bai Yingluo and wiped Brother Yan's body, remembering what the wet nurse said that day the second prince had a rash all over his body because of that sinful new coat, Liusu sighed with some fear.

Bai Yingluo paused in her hand, and there was some unexplained gleam in her eyes.

The new coat with goose feathers and catkins floating out is the "masterpiece" of the Crown Princess, but Bai Yingluo felt that those red rashes on the second prince's body could not be the work of the Crown Princess. When the prince's single clothes cried out to the queen mother and queen, the princess was clearly shocked in disbelief.

What's more, Bai Yingluo asked herself, in that situation, if she changed herself, she would definitely hold the child and cry to Emperor Jiayuan, because at that moment, Emperor Jiayuan was closest to Lin Zhimei.

But Lin Zhimei didn't. Instead, she showed it to the queen mother and queen, and then cried and accused the princess who had been stunned.

Because only mothers who have experienced the hardships of pregnancy in October can deeply understand the pain, so Lin Zhimei chose the queen mother and empress.

There was an inconceivable helplessness on Bai Yingluo's lips.

Today's Lin Zhimei's quick response, quick response, and vicious intentions are far beyond what the old Lin Zhimei could compare to.

This time, the eldest prince died early, and the concubine temporarily lost power because of that scheming, while Lin Zhimei, because of the wronged and wronged, and the second prince who had suffered, almost won a complete victory.

Now only Lin Zhimei has given birth to the second prince in the Eastern Palace. From then on, Lin Zhimei will become the No.

"As long as she thinks it's worth it..."

After saying this in a vague way, Bai Yingluo wrapped Brother Yan in a warm quilt, hugged him and sat in front of the charcoal basin, and wiped his hair with a soft handkerchief.

In the long corridor, the creaking sound of the wheels seems to be more and more empty, and the occasional sound of a solitary bird is frightening.

In the carriage, Dou Xiuqiao seemed to be extremely cold, tightly hugging the hand stove that had long lost its temperature, curled up in the corner of the carriage.

What she saw in the East Palace just now made her feel a little trembling when she recalled it. In just a few days, the originally haggard princess was already skinny. The godless sluggishness made the hearts of those around him unstoppable.

Dou Xiuqiao regretted a little: If she had known this, she shouldn't have said those words that day.

If grandfather, father and mother knew that they had advised the princess and done these things...

Dou Xiuqiao didn't dare to think about it.

"Hurry up, let the carriage hurry up, I want to go home..."

Speaking quickly, Dou Xiuqiao threw away the hand stove and hugged her shoulders tightly.

Back at Fang Mansion, as soon as she entered the room and sat down to drink two sips of hot tea, Dou Xiuqiao heard the rumor from the maid that Aunt Na came to visit Madam.

Na Duo came to Fang's mansion for a month, and was raised to be an aunt at Fang Congjiang's request. Although Dou Xiuqiao was anxious, she thought that General Fang and Mrs. Fang would return to the mansion next month. , you can use their hands to deal with Na Duo, so, at Fang Congjiang's request, Dou Xiuqiao gave orders the next day.

After buying a table of banquets and sending them to Na Duo's room, and sending two bolts of brocade as a gift, Na Duo became the aunt Na of the Fang Mansion.

Seeing Na Duo, who was dressed in a water-red long jacket covered with flowers and covered with a squirrel cloak, flashed from under the curtain, her face was extremely delicately made up, and knowing that she was dressed up specially when Fang came back from Jiang, Dou Xiuqiao felt in her heart The suppressed anger suddenly burst out uncontrollably.

"Why, the master didn't come back and came after me?"

Said with a sneer on her face, Dou Xiuqiao stared at Na Duo.

The curtain was raised, and the other two concubines followed in, standing behind Na Duo.

Looking at the three Na Duo who are also from Xili, Dou Xiuqiao couldn't help but think of what her mother said again.

Since Fang Congjiang likes beauties, it would be better to have more beautiful concubines. You can't let Na Duo take all the favor and lead your husband to give birth to the eldest son or eldest daughter, right?

Thinking like this, Dou Xiuqiao suppressed her anger, and when they greeted her, she hurriedly waved them to retreat.

After hearing that Fang Congjiang had just returned from outside, Na Duo invited her into her room from the second door. Dou Xiuqiao couldn't bear it anymore, and threw all the tea bowls and saucers on the table under her feet.

After disposing of several little maids one after another, Dou Xiuqiao still felt perplexed. Seeing that there was a rather pretty little maid secretly wanting to leave, Dou Xiuqiao stepped forward a few steps, grabbed that maid and slapped her face several times. On the side, the wet nurse had already come over and stopped her by shouting "Miss carefully, your hand hurts".

Sitting on the edge of the warm kang again, the warmth spread up from below her body, and Dou Xiuqiao felt the convulsions and pains in her lower abdomen.

Seeing that Dou Xiuqiao's complexion was not right, the nurse hurriedly ordered the servants to invite the doctor with the right cards, and at the same time, sent someone to Aunt Na's house to invite Fang Congjiang.

Fang Congjiang's complexion was very bad, and Na Duo, who came with him, had a pretty face flushed. Dou Xiuqiao frowned when she saw it, but her lower body also ached.

When the doctor came and diagnosed that she was two months pregnant, Dou Xiuqiao was stunned for a long time and did not recover.

Having children, Fang Congjiang was very gentle and considerate that night, and ordered his mother-in-law to take Na Duo back to the house. Fang Congjiang carefully hugged Dou Xiuqiao, and became the gentle and careful husband when he was newly married.

There was a smug smile on Dou Xiuqiao's face.
