C156 Wan-fei's parturition
C156 Wan-fei's parturition
He wanted to stay behind to take care of his uncle. Besides, he hadn't lived together in so many years, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know him more.
King Xian naturally didn't have any objections. The world could be considered peaceful now, and Liu Qingfeng no longer had to toil so hard to get back and forth.
Originally, King Xian felt that it wouldn't be very convenient for him to stay outside by himself and wanted him to stay at the mansion, but Liu Qingfeng found something for him to do. Even though there was a limit to the number of patients he could treat every day, he did find something for himself to do.
This was also good, he wouldn't be too tired or bored, so everyone silently agreed to this matter. With King Duanren and Eunuch Liu supporting him, no one else in Liu Qingfeng's small clinic dared to cause trouble.
It was winter, and the capital had completely turned cold by the time the first snow fell. The house was full of land dragons, so at first she didn't have to wrap herself up completely, but she could still run around the room.
The floor was covered with a thick blanket, and her walk was steady, so she didn't have to worry about knocking against it.
As the start of the year gradually grew, the empress dowager's liking for her didn't decrease in the slightest. In fact, she grew more and more fond of her. In addition, her empathy was now even more genuine.
After that, Shen Qi would frequently bring her into the palace. Because of Xi Shi's protection, Shen Qi was a lot more at ease, even though she had to be extremely careful every time she entered the palace.
However, this day was supposed to be the day to pay respects to the empress dowager, but when King Duanren returned, he suddenly stopped her. "Imperial Mother ordered that there's no need to bring junior disciples to the palace today. You stay at the estate and take care of them as well."
Shen Qi was startled when she heard it, didn't they always send people to pick him up on good days, and when they finally arrived, they actually stopped him from entering, what happened? She waited for him to answer.
Then, he took off the cloak Chu Yu was wearing, making it easier for her to move around. After doing all this, he turned to Shen Qi and said, "Something bad has happened at the palace. Imperial Mother is not in a good mood, so I was afraid that something might have happened."
Shen Qi frowned, what had happened? She couldn't help but be a little worried, "What's going on?"
Seeing her so nervous, Duke Xian walked up and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's just a birth in Wan-fei." Her Majesty felt that the child's eyes were too clean, for fear that she might see something and be frightened.
Shen Qi heard this and frowned. Although she always thought that Yan Wan was so high-profile that she might lose her life at any time, she couldn't help but sympathize with after she had really given birth to a child. After all, children were innocent, but the women that came out of the palace never thought like this.
At this time, she could understand why the empress dowager was in such a bad mood. Not only did the Wan-fei look forward to this birth, even the empress dowager looked forward to it, thinking that once she gave birth to a prince, she would be able to protect the wealth of the estate for decades.
That was why he had immediately sent his mama to take care of Yan Wan the moment he felt happy, and had even opened the door for her.
Now that the child couldn't protect the empress dowager's heart, the empress dowager definitely wouldn't feel good. She had spent so much effort in exchange for this. How could she not feel sad?
However, Shen Qi was concerned about another question, "Is it an accident or ??" Because she thought of how Shen Fei would always look at Yan Wan with that gaze that would cause people to tremble.
King Xian naturally knew what she wanted to ask, but since this had just happened, he wouldn't send his men to keep an eye on her imperial brother's harem. Thus, he didn't know what had happened, but he comforted her, "The situation is still uncertain, so don't worry, nothing will happen."
Even if it was the Shen Fei s, they wouldn't implicate the wangfei.
Shen Qi naturally knew that nothing would happen to her, but she would still worry. Where's my brother? It has to be said that harming an heir was a huge crime, even if the emperor wouldn't hold his father accountable, but would the Lady Xu let him go?
Since she couldn't get her father to do it, he would definitely go and find her some of her older brothers or even more. With Xu's love for her, she would definitely be able to do this kind of thing like lowering her head in front of her.
He could not help but sigh, hoping that the Shen Fei was not the one who brought this upon him, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome.
However, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to let it go and accompany Chu Yu. Since she no longer needed to enter the palace, she could settle the matters of the mansion today.
His Imperial Majesty didn't look too good when he returned, so he knew that the palace was probably going to be lively again. His Imperial Mother would definitely demand a thorough investigation, so don't think that you can hide things from the emperor's eyes.
In the past, when he couldn't find the real culprit, he either didn't care that he wasn't doing his best or he was just deliberately protecting him. But now, with his mother urging him on, this time, he couldn't fool her even if he wanted to.
After that, he couldn't help but say to Shen Qi while looking at his daughter who was happily playing, "Before this matter is made clear, do your best not to bring anyone who has just entered the palace. I will tell mother about this matter."
Shen Qi nodded in agreement. Even if King Duanren didn't say it, she would still think the same. The palace was already filled with trials and hardships, it was not certain whether they would be able to stand firm in the palace. She didn't want others to use her as a target and a shield.
Prince Xian's guess was right, as expected, the palace began to thoroughly investigate the situation. Yan Wan had tripped when she was out of the door, and then immediately became red. Despite calling the imperial physician, she was still unable to keep her child.
Afterwards, they checked the place where Yan Wan fell and found that someone had poured oil on the ground. In addition to a few snowstorms these past few days, no one paid attention to the wet spot and it became a tragedy.
When the empress dowager was in distress, she hated the main culprit to the bone. She directly asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter, and her reason was very reasonable, "The palace cannot tolerate such a cruel person to openly murder an emperor's heir. Does she still have an emperor in her eyes?
S@@
When Shen Fei heard this, she could not help but sneer in her heart. Only Wan-fei had such treatment. What did the empress dowager and the emperor say when her fifth prince was born prematurely?
Why didn't they talk about the murder of their son at that time? to Wan-fei, it was only a restriction, how could that be?
It was disgusting to hear a righteous voice speaking such noble words!
Shen Fei turned his head and smiled. So be it, who's afraid of who?
Because this matter was related to the Shen Fei, Shen Qi was also constantly paying attention to the progress of the situation. She had a faint premonition in her heart, and that this matter must definitely have something to do with the Shen Fei.
felt that there was something wrong with her every time she looked at Yan Wan's strange eyes. Moreover, the Fifth Prince's premature delivery was also caused by Yan Wan.
If the Fifth Prince was healthy and no different from an ordinary child, the Shen Fei might not hate Yan Wan that much. However, that was not the case.
Shen Fei, while feeling heartache for the Fifth Prince for having to suffer such pain at such a young age, and for the bitter medicine that he drank like he didn't want money, was also worried every single day, afraid that the Fifth Prince would be sick again.
And this was all because of the Fifth Prince's premature birth. Not only did the culprit who caused his premature birth live on with limitless glory, he even relied on that piece of meat in his stomach to become even more unrestrained.
Shen Qi was not the only one thinking this, everyone in the palace had their eyes fixated on Shen Fei, if one were to say who was the most suspected culprit behind the incident in Wan-fei, it would definitely be him, and she was also the main suspect in the investigation.
The Shen Fei naturally knew of the suspicions and probing from the people outside, but she didn't care. If she had the ability, she would scout her out, otherwise, no one would be able to touch her.
During this period of time, the Emperor was also mentally and mentally exhausted. The Wan-fei cried and complained all day long, and the Queen urged him to find out the truth of the matter, so he handed the matter over to the Queen. The harem was her territory, and there was no reason for him to take care of it.
Both the empress and the emperor were dissatisfied with her for something like this happening in the palace. After all, she was the empress dowager, and now that she was in such a mess, it meant that she hadn't been strict with her laws. This was a problem with her abilities.
The emperor only handed the matter over to her and told her to investigate wholeheartedly. The person beside him didn't say anything, but the empress dowager wasn't that easy to deal with. The words that came out of her mouth hit her many times, so he wanted her to properly manage the imperial harem and find out who the real culprit was.
The empress dowager's way of doing things was like lowering her head to help the Wan-fei gain momentum, but she couldn't say anything. After all, something like this had happened in the harem she was managing, so no matter what, she had to take responsibility for it.
Those with a little brain would know that in truth, the children of the Wan-fei were not even a threat to the First Prince. Forget about their age, even the Emperor had to consider the fact that the Wan-fei had a maternal family, so she could not be bothered to harm the First Prince.
It would not be worth it if he could dirty his own hands for an insignificant person and provoke a body full of bad blood.
She also knew exactly who did it, but because there was no evidence, she still had to endure the pressure from the Empress Dowager every day.
However, as long as someone did something, they would be exposed, so the empress quickly found a clue and found the body of a small palace maid, but she was still a step too late. By the time they found the palace maid, she was already a corpse.
That palace maid was only a third-class palace maid who served far away in the courtyard and would not approach Master, but someone still remembered which courtyard she was from. Someone then suggested, "Isn't that the green cloud of the Hall of Jade River?"
Just one sentence was enough to cause an uproar, it was actually someone from Yu Xiang Hall?
Who lives in the Yuxiang Hall? Of course, it was the Xiang Fei that attracted the attention of the entire palace. In the beginning, the Xiang Fei did indeed act arrogantly and did not see the situation clearly. However, after she became seriously ill for a while, she became completely different.
To have such a thing happen so suddenly at this time, it had to be shocking and unexpected. Could Xiang Fei be the mastermind? Why?
This was what everyone was thinking. Why? Then, everyone looked at each other in dismay. The empress was also surprised, but no matter who they found out, it had nothing to do with her. All she had to do was to arrange the evidence and give it to the emperor and the empress dowager to deal with.
