It's probably because the authorities are confused, but bystanders know clearly.
As the former commander of the Royal Forest Army, Yan Wei didn't know much about the emperor. Now he stayed out of the matter and did not participate in any party's struggle for power. Naturally, he understood that the prince's assassination was not as simple as it seemed.
However, he did not need to speculate too much. Not to mention whether the prince had any accidents or not, the fact that the empress and the Situ family had suffered many setbacks was enough to prove that the emperor had reached the limit of his tolerance for the Situ family.
Who is Situ Wan?
If the Crown Princess is really pregnant, then the child in her belly will be the Emperor's only legitimate grandson. If Situ Wan dares to go to the palace to complain, her intention to murder the Emperor's grandson will be revealed, which will only destroy the Situ family faster.
Sent to a dead end.
Situ Wan was beaten to the point of dying that night. There were only two female officials in the room who took good care of him, cleaning the wounds, applying medicine, decoction and feeding. Every movement made Situ Wan twitch in pain, and he almost fainted several times.
After a long day of work, not only did Situ Wan suffer a serious crime, but the two female officers were also exhausted.
That night, Prince Rong and his wife secretly went to meet several princes and princesses from the clan, trying to persuade them and pull them into their own camp, so that they could visit the prince together tomorrow morning.
On the same night, Yun Zishu began to dream again. In the dream, a woman dressed in noble clothes was trapped in a deep palace. She was so proud, but there was always forbearance and sadness in her eyes. The mountains of books on the desk seemed to be a long and lonely time.
The only comfort in the deep palace.
The scene turned, showing a gentle and handsome man, dressed in bright yellow to show his noble status. The palace man next to him lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and brought a bowl of liquid. The woman stared blankly at the crystal-clear bowl, her eyes seemed to be full of appeal.
Endless sadness.
After an unknown amount of time, she slowly stretched out her hand to take the crystal clear jade bowl. The slender one was so pale that there was no trace of blood...
Yun Zishu's heart ached and she suddenly woke up with cold sweat on her forehead.
"Shu'er?" Si Cang was keenly aware of something wrong with her breath, and quickly reached out to hold her in his arms, "What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?"
Yun Zishu didn't say anything, and slowly sat up from the bed, leaning on the head of the bed a little tiredly, reaching out and caressing her lower abdomen.
Sicang sat up and called the maid on duty outside: "Bring in a glass of water."
"yes."
There was a lamp left in the inner hall. The light was slightly dim but did not affect his vision. Sicang's eyes fell on Yun Zishu's face and saw that her face was extremely pale, her heart was slightly stagnant, and her thin lips were slightly pursed.
After a while, the maid came in with hot water. Si Cang took the water and motioned for her to go out, then handed the water to Yun Zishu: "Drink a glass of water to moisten your throat."
Yun Zishu glanced at him, took the cup without saying a word, and drank half of the cup with a low eyebrow.
"I don't know if this is a nightmare." Yun Zishu said calmly, with a hint of silence in her voice, "I feel like I dreamed about Queen Dongshu."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes: "What happened to her?"
"Sicang." Yun Zishu did not answer his question, but instead asked, "Did Queen Dongshu in history leave any heirs?"
Sicang's expression changed slightly: "No."
"Emperor Wen once liked her so much, but there were no children between them?"
"It is recorded in historical books that Queen Dongshu was pregnant twice, but she could not keep her pregnancy."
Yun Zishu's tone was calm: "She has such a noble status, why can't she keep her child?"
Sicang said: "The first time I accidentally took the miscarriage medicine, the baby was not saved. The second time it might have been an accident."
Accident?
Yun Zishu put her palms against her abdomen, narrowed her eyes and asked calmly: "If one day, I have as noble and prominent status as her, will the child in my belly not be able to keep it?"
"No." Si Cang's expression changed and he spoke subconsciously, his voice as cold as ice, "No one dares to do this."
"What if there is?"
"He will die without a burial place."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything. She knew in her heart that Concubine Gua would not give up. She would spare no effort to remind her of the past. What would happen to them if those past events that should have been forgotten were revived from the dusty memories bit by bit?
"Sicang." Yun Zishu said calmly, "Is there any way to make Concubine Gua die suddenly?"
Si Cang was silent: "You want her to die?"
"May I?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "As long as Shu'er wants her to die, she must die."
Yun Zishu asked calmly: "She is good at divination and can be considered a superpower. If you kill her, will there be backlash?"
Sicang reached out and hugged her: "It doesn't matter, she was going to die anyway."
"...Forget it." Yun Zishu closed her eyes gently and had to give up this unrealistic idea, "Her life may just have to wait for God to take it. I want to accumulate blessings for my child."
For the sake of the little life that was about to take shape in her belly, she did not dare to take risks.
Yun Zishu couldn't help but wonder, had Dong Shu in her previous life had to compromise on something because of the unborn life in her belly?
Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.
But sometimes children are a woman's biggest weakness.
"Go to bed." She put the cup on the table beside the bed and didn't want to think about it any more. "I have to deal with those people with ulterior motives who come to my door tomorrow morning. I have to recharge my batteries."
Sicang's eyes seemed to be full of worries. Hearing this, he just held her tighter, pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
This night was another sleepless night for him.
The next day, Princess Rong arrived very early. Even before Yun Zishu and Sicang got up, the front yard began to "force the palace" in a noisy manner.
"As the concubine of the royal family, we have the right to confirm that His Highness the Crown Prince is well." Princess Rong had a tough attitude, "If the Crown Princess has no evil intentions, we should be allowed to see the Crown Prince with our own eyes instead of blocking visitors every time.
Outside the door."
The ladies who came with her nodded in unison: "Yes, we are all here to visit His Highness the Crown Prince. We have no other intentions. The Crown Princess should not block us from the door."
"The safety of the prince concerns the country, the country, and the country, and also affects the hearts of the civil and military officials of the court. Please allow us to meet the prince!"
"Please allow us to meet the Crown Prince!"
Leng Shuang, who was ordered to come, looked at the battle in front of him and said coldly: "The Crown Princess has taken care of His Highness the Crown Prince for several days until midnight. She is too tired and is catching up on her sleep. If someone wakes up the Crown Princess and disturbs her belly,
I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder this responsibility if I'm pregnant!"
Fetus in the belly?
The royal wives looked slightly shocked: "Is the Crown Princess pregnant?"
"What did you say? The Crown Princess already has a fetus in her belly?" Princess Rong's expression suddenly changed and she stared at Leng Shuang in disbelief, "No, this is impossible!"
Leng Shuang's tone was cold: "Why is it impossible? The prince and the princess have been married for three months. It is incredible to be pregnant?"
