Chapter 307 Problem

Seeing that Lin Chan looked strange, Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Lin Chan's good upbringing prevented her from vomiting out the food she had eaten, so she swallowed it hard, and the feeling of nausea became even stronger.

The old lady made some guesses, and after dinner she invited a doctor to consult Lin Chan.

The doctor took his pulse carefully and congratulated the old lady: "Congratulations, old lady, your eldest aunt is very happy. It's just that the month is still young, so you have to be careful."

The old lady was overjoyed and gave the doctor a generous reward.

"How long?" Lin asked.

Lin Chan's face turned red: "My menstrual period was a little late, and I just feel uncomfortable today..."

"So, Shangshufu doesn't know yet?"

Lin Chan nodded slightly.

"In that case, go back and rest early, and do not move much in the past two months." The old lady told her confidant, "Cuixiang, you can send my eldest aunt back in person."

On the way back, Han Baocheng was still confused. He squeezed in the carriage and asked Lin Chan in a low voice: "Why do you still use the grandma next to the old lady to send you?"

Lin Chan couldn't say anything for a moment, and finally said: "You will know when you get back."

When she returned to Shangshu Mansion, Lin Chan didn't need to worry about how to speak. Aunt Dou, whose maiden name was Cuixiang, told Han's mother the good news.

Mother Han couldn't help being overjoyed. She sent Aunt Dou off politely and immediately asked a doctor to check her pulse.

Soon the Shangshu Mansion was enveloped in an atmosphere of joy because of Lin Chan's pregnancy.

Some are happy and some are sad. The atmosphere in the palace has been a bit gloomy recently.

The war was won. After the most urgent problems were solved, new problems were placed in front of Emperor Tai'an. One was the problem of the people being displaced due to the war and the treasury being empty, and the other was the problem of the vacant crown prince's position.

One has no money, the other has no one.

In the eyes of civil and military officials, having no heir is more terrible than having no money.

At court that day, the ministers brought up this topic again.

One of the censors was determined to go all out and put forward the suggestion of adoption.

Another minister mentioned Prince Liang euphemistically.

Emperor Tai'an turned away with a dark face and waved his sleeves, leaving the ministers looking at each other in confusion and talking as they walked out in twos and threes.

Prince Jing rushed back to the palace and told Princess Jing what had been discussed at court.

"It's bad, the emperor may adopt the prince from the clan!"

Princess Jing stood up and said, "Did you choose our family?"

"No, a minister just mentioned this matter, and the emperor didn't seem too happy about it." Prince Jing walked in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead, and he drank several large sips of tea to moisten his throat.

Princess Jing was speechless: "Then why are you so anxious, Your Majesty? I thought someone had chosen someone."

Prince Jing shook his head pessimistically: "Even if you don't want to do it now, it's only a matter of time. Is it possible that you really want to reinstate Prince Liang?"

If that's the case, why go to all the trouble to attack Beiqi? It will be over sooner or later anyway.

"If you really want to adopt, you have to choose someone younger. Shuo'er and Huan'er are both older, so you can't choose them." Princess Jing didn't panic.

Even if a rich local man has no son and wants to adopt him from the clan, it is best to choose a son who is close to the blood, young, and forgetful, so that he can be raised well.

"What the princess said makes sense. It was because of Shuo'er that I became famous and left an impression on the emperor..."

Princess Jing lowered her voice: "Even if you choose Shuo'er, it's not a bad thing, right?"

Just now she was led astray by the prince's eagerness, but now she thinks about it, once she is chosen, she will be the prince!

"Think about the old prince Qi Ming."

Princess Jing's smile faltered.

"Think about King Liang again."

Princess Jing's expression became even stiffer.

"There is no job more dangerous than that of a prince. Although wealth can only be gained through risk, we are already rich enough and it is not worth taking the risk."

Princess Jing nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right, please pay more attention outside. The Emperor has made a decision earlier, so we can feel at ease."

Princess Jing’s thoughts are exactly those of the noble officials.

Whether it is to restore King Liang or to adopt him from the clan, Your Majesty, please decide as soon as possible!

Emperor Tai'an had not experienced such aggressive persecution from his ministers for a long time.

It was late at night, and the palace lights in the bedroom were still bright.

Emperor Tai'an sat quietly and did not move for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please rest early." Liu Chuan advised softly.

Emperor Tai'an sneered: "When you wake up, you have to listen to the noise of those people again."

And the difficulties he faced could not be avoided by covering his ears and not listening.

The crown prince is related to the inheritance of the country and is not a family matter.

Over at Prince Liang's Mansion, Prince Liang also didn't take a break at this time.

He was too excited to sleep!

"Has my chance come?" He walked barefoot on the bluestone bricks under the moonlight, not feeling cold at all.

The personal attendant looked at King Liang's appearance, feeling happy and uneasy at the same time.

There was a voice in the court to re-establish King Liang, and as the close servant of King Liang, he was naturally excited, but the sight of King Liang who had torn away his disguise in front of him made him murmur.

He didn't dare to say it, but he always felt that King Liang was not normal.

"Why don't you speak?" King Liang stopped and stared at the servant and asked.

Those eyes were pitch black and inexplicably frightening.

The chamberlain looked away and said respectfully: "I have little knowledge, and I don't dare to discuss such a big matter..."

King Liang kicked him: "Trash, what use do you have!"

These dog slaves now are indeed not as useful as those in the East Palace before. When he comes back, he must replace all these useless ones.

When the chamberlain saw Prince Liang's cold eyes, his heart trembled, and he threw away his worries and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Emperor only has your son, this is all a matter of course..."

"It's a matter of course -" King Liang liked this word very much, "Yes, it's a matter of course, hahahaha..."

In the silence of the night, undisguised laughter could be heard far away. The waiter looked very confused whether he wanted to persuade her or not.

Throughout Prince Liang's palace, some people who heard the laughter were surprised, and some shook their heads. The next morning, someone delivered the news to the palace.

"Prince Liang was walking outside barefoot and laughing wantonly?" After hearing the report, Emperor Tai'an's expression changed again and again, and finally he became calm.

"Liu Chuan."

"My slave is here."

"Go and let the news about Guiren Wu out."

"Yes." Liu Chuan responded respectfully, sighing for Prince Liang in his heart.

The eldest son with a good foundation and a good reputation can always cut off the opportunity to become the prince at critical moments, which is his true ability.

On that day, news came out from the palace: Wu Guiren has been pregnant for three months.

Originally, a small nobleman's happiness would not even cause a small splash in a normal harem, but now it is like a stormy sea, sweeping from the harem to the imperial court, affecting many people.

The emperor's concubine is pregnant, so the voices of the adoptive clan son and the reinstatement of Prince Liang can be stopped for a while. At least there is no need to make the emperor unhappy before Wu Guiren gives birth.

When the news reached Prince Liang's Mansion, Prince Liang's eyes went straight: "Impossible, impossible!"

Unable to accept the reality at all, King Liang rolled his eyes and fainted.
