During the day, after Su Wanliang made a scene in Fangfei Hall, Ye Liyuan sent Eunuch Zhang to bring some gifts.
Eunuch Zhang said with a worldly smile: "Concubine Yao, you look a lot better today. Haha, the emperor has been thinking about you every day these days. Didn't he send me some gifts?"
Bai Qiqian stared at the gifts, her eyes a little dull, and she just smiled silly.
Yunran knew that the smile did not penetrate deep into his heart.
Ziyuan said sarcastically: "Eunuch Zhang, you have to talk to the emperor. Concubine Su has a very bad temper right now, and she doesn't take our empress seriously. She actually brought people with her to search Fangfei Palace.
"
Eunuch Zhang quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Miss Ziyuan, to tell you the truth, this Concubine Su has a very bad temper. However, she is pregnant with a child now, so the Emperor can only let her go."
Yunran stood up: "What's wrong with having a baby? Does she think it's great that she's pregnant with a baby? Does the whole world have to hang around her?"
Ziyuan also spoke up and said, "That's right, as long as you are a woman, you can give birth to children. What's there to be proud of?"
Eunuch Zhang raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Oh, my aunts, but she is pregnant with the emperor's child."
Yun Ran slammed the teacup in his hand onto the stone table, and the teacup immediately broke into pieces.
She glanced at Eunuch Zhang coldly, then looked at the gifts that Ye Liyuan had sent, then turned and walked into the house.
Eunuch Zhang sighed and said to Bai Qiqian: "Concubine Yao, if Concubine Su had not been pregnant with a child, the emperor would not have allowed Concubine Su to act like this. To tell you the truth, it is Concubine Su who wants the stars in the sky right now.
, the emperor will also think of ways to help her take it off."
Bai Qiqian smiled stupidly: "Eunuch Zhang, I understand, I understand everything. Your Majesty, he only tolerates her so much for the sake of his children, right?"
Eunuch Zhang nodded: "Concubine Yao, I know you are a sensible person."
Bai Qiqian smiled gracefully. She knew that she was not a kind person and wanted to avenge Bai Yi. But every time she caught Ye Liyuan's gaze, she hesitated.
That man was so eager to have a child, and he loved the child in Su Wanliang's belly wholeheartedly.
Su Wanliang relied on her children to be unscrupulous.
At first, she herself wanted to use the child to make Ye Liyuan compromise. When Ye Liyuan compromised, the child was gone.
Eunuch Zhang kept talking in Bai Qiqian's ears for a long time. Finally, he looked up at the sky and left with a group of servants.
Fangfei Hall was as quiet as usual.
The weather is getting colder, and Yunran's health is getting worse and worse. She has been in prison and her body has been severely injured. Although the physical injuries have healed, there will still be a shadow in her heart.
On this day, Ziyuan came to Yunran to serve her. Yunran suddenly asked: "Ziyuan, how many months old is the fetus in Su Wanliang's belly?"
Ziyuan raised her head and counted on her fingers: "About six months."
Bai Qiqian sat aside with a bitter smile. She touched her belly and said sadly: "It's been six months. She will be born soon."
Yunran was silent. After a moment, she suddenly asked: "Fuyao, you should know medical skills, right?"
Bai Qiqian pondered. When she was in Split Zhang Kingdom, Yun Yizi often taught her some medical skills. Although she can't be called a miracle doctor, she was much better than the average doctor who traveled around the world. So, she nodded: "Yeah, I understand.
Somehow, Yunran, if you feel unwell, you should call the imperial doctor over to take a look."
Yun Ran asked: "Fuyao, for what kind of disease does Gastrodia Teng need to be used? For what kind of disease does Perilla Che need to be used?"
Fuyao answered them one by one.
Ziyuan was still laughing next to her: "Yun Ran, when did you become so interested in medical skills?"
Yunran shrugged: "Don't I just lie here all day and feel a little bored?"
However, two or three days later, something went wrong again. Yunran's health got worse, and he suffered from almost all the symptoms Bai Qiqian mentioned that day. Therefore, in Fangfei Hall, the imperial doctor would send medicine from time to time.
Every time he saw the imperial doctor delivering medicine, Yun Ran was very happy, and he was rewarded with a lot of money.
Another half month passed when Yunran's health felt better.
At dusk, the news of Su Wanliang's birth came from the Jinjiao Palace. Ye Liyuan did not bother to review the memorial and hurried to the Jinjiao Palace and stood guard outside the door.
Su Wanliang's shrill shouts came from inside the house.
Ye Liyuan was pacing back and forth outside. He suddenly thought, if Bai Qiqian was giving birth, would she also scream in pain like this?
Then, he smiled again. With Bai Qiqian's temperament, even if it hurt, she would just grit her teeth and bear it without saying a word. It was as if after losing Bai Yi, she would rather drive herself crazy than face him.
Cry and make a fuss, venting all the emotions on him.
In fact, this kind of Bai Qiqian made him feel even more distressed.
However, he could not give her justice, nor could he give Bai Yi justice.
After a while, the midwife came out with a baby in her arms, with a pleasing smile on her face covered with makeup: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Su has given birth to a little prince. Both mother and child are safe."
Ye Liyuan looked at the little prince. The baby was ugly, with wrinkled skin all over its body, but it was a living little life.
The midwife coaxed the baby and said pleasantly: "The little prince is so fresh and healthy just after he was born."
Ye Liyuan stared at the child for a long time and said expressionlessly: "Is this child born prematurely?"
The midwife looked at Ye Liyuan blankly: "Premature birth? No, this child is born at full term and healthy. It is definitely not premature. However, sometimes it is normal for the fetus to be born a month early.
"
Ye Liyuan's eyes were dark and unpredictable. It was normal for him to be born a month early, but now he was born four months early. This was too abnormal.
If Su Wanliang had a fetal movement and was really premature, he would admit it.
However, the midwife said that the baby was very healthy and it looked like he was born at full term.
The midwife was still talking a lot, and she would say whatever was auspicious. She just wanted to make the emperor happy and give her a big reward. But the more she talked, the darker Ye Liyuan's face became.
Ugly.
Ye Liyuan was getting more and more depressed and waved his hand: "Go back and receive the reward."
The midwife then stopped talking, handed the baby to the maid beside her, knelt down to thank her, and left happily.
Ye Liyuan took the child from the hands of the maid. Maybe he sensed that the person holding him was his father. The little prince actually opened his eyes and smiled at Ye Liyuan.
Then, he closed his eyes again and lay quietly in his swaddling clothes to sleep.
At this moment, Ye Liyuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Becoming a father for the first time should be a happy thing. If this child is not his, then he will not be happy no matter what.
Seeing that smile, he even felt that it was a great irony for him.
The jade-white hand stretched out to the baby's tiny neck, and the warm touch made him feel a little dazed.
At this moment, Ye Liyuan was like a demon, starting to exert force bit by bit. The infant prince began to have difficulty breathing. He cried and struggled.
His legs and hands were shaking wildly, but the little strength was not enough to make him break free.
Ye Liyuan's eyes were filled with a look of despair. He closed his eyes. Finally, he calmed down and squeezed hard. The little prince finally became silent. He handed the child to the maid who was lying on the ground, coldly.
Said: "When Concubine Su wakes up, tell her that the child was stillborn."
The maid took the dead baby and nodded mechanically.
The maid did not expect that the emperor, who was always as humble and gentle as jade, could do such a cruel thing. He actually killed his own child with his own hands.
The emperor always loved Concubine Su so much, how could he kill his and Concubine Su's child?
The maid looked at the child at her feet at a loss, wondering what to do.
At this time, when the maid who took the midwife down to receive the reward came back, she saw such a scene and was horrified: "Jing'er, what on earth is going on?"
Jing'er seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and grabbed her hand: "Sister Aya, the little prince is dead. Let's get rid of him quickly. He can't be discovered by others, otherwise, he won't be alive by then."
Aya calmed down and said calmly: "You go and take care of Concubine Su first, and let me take care of this child."
Jing'er nodded: "Sister Aya, I leave everything to you."
Aya smiled, held the little child in her arms, and walked towards the house where she lived. Not long after, she walked out carrying a bamboo basket, which was also covered with blue cloth.
.
The night was already very dark. Aya walked towards the back garden. When she came to a place with thick flowers and plants, she stopped and imitated the cat's meow.
Someone came out from behind the rockery: "Aya, I'm here."
Aya hurriedly walked over, told the person about what happened in Jinjiao Palace in general, and then handed her the bamboo basket.
The man took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to Aya: "Aya, take these banknotes and find an opportunity to leave the palace and live incognito."
Aya nodded: "Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. I'll be able to leave the palace tomorrow."
The woman carried the bamboo basket and left gracefully.
The smile on the corner of her mouth was a bit ferocious, and under the darkness of night, it made people feel a bit scared. Her low voice was like a sigh, with a bit of schadenfreude and a bit of sadness: "Unfortunately, this child is innocent
Of."
The child is innocent. He opens his eyes, takes a look at the world, and then leaves.
The wind blew, mixed with the whine of the leaves, which seemed to be mourning for the child.
