Putting aside the fight between Aunt Ye and the Yang family, on September 19th, Su Ling gave birth to a daughter for Prince Sui at Prince Sui's Mansion.
Both King Sui and Princess Sui felt disappointed. Originally, they thought that there was a male heir in the house who would occupy the name of the emperor's eldest grandson and add support to King Sui's fight for the position of crown prince.
Now that I have given birth to a girl, how can I not be disappointed?
Princess Sui's performance was the most obvious. She was busy before Su Ling was born, as if she wanted to raise the child with Su Ling. When she found out that a girl was born, she didn't even show her face and left a maid. I went over to take a look and picked up some things.
King Sui was okay. Although he was disappointed that it was a girl, she was his own biological child and the only one. He went to have a look, and then ordered people to take good care of Su Ling, and sent someone to the palace to announce the good news.
"Is it a girl?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Su gave birth to a princess."
The emperor was silent for a few moments, then nodded: "The girl is also very good, thank you."
"yes."
When Mrs. Wang learned that Su Ling had given birth to a girl, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that if a girl really gave birth to a son, she would definitely have nothing to do with Prince Sui's palace for the rest of her life.
After giving birth to a girl, it would be easier for Su Ling to take the girl away in the future. If it was a son, he would definitely not be able to take her away. She would definitely not be willing to let Su Ling abandon the child.
At that time, it will be life and death again.
After receiving Master Wuchen's approval, Wang knew that Su Ling's fate was rough and that she could only save her life by abandoning everything. Wang was really worried that she would not let her mind go and would rather die.
Wang went to the Buddhist temple and read scriptures for half an hour, praying for the safety of the mother and daughter.
In early October, when the Jinning Palace began to prepare for the wedding of Su Jian and Murong Xian, good news came from Yuanmingyuan and Prince Sui Palace at the same time. Princess Sui, who had been infertile for many years, and Song Wanting, the deposed crown princess, were expecting a baby.
Zhao Mingqi was overjoyed when he learned that Song Wanting was pregnant. He wrote a letter overnight and sent it to the palace, confessing and begging in every possible way. He also said that Yuanmingyuan was poor and difficult to live, and asked the emperor to let Song Wanting leave Yuanmingyuan to raise the baby.
After the emperor read this letter, he sat quietly for a long time and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Zhao Mingqi really disappointed him. He originally wanted to keep Zhao Mingqi in Yuanmingyuan for the rest of his life.
Since he is incompetent and ambitious, if he is released, he may lose his life one day. It is better to leave him in Yuanmingyuan like this to save his life.
Now that he learned that Song Wanting was pregnant, the emperor thought of his first wife, Queen Yuanming again.
He and his wife had three children, and now Zhao Mingqi is the only one. However, he failed to live up to his expectations. He increased taxes to collect money, and brutalized Chen Fuyin's family. He didn't have the slightest ability to see people, and he dared to kill the king and his father. ...
During this period, even if the emperor favored him, he would not dare to put him in the position of crown prince. Otherwise, the fall of Dong Zhao would not be far away.
He is a father, but he is also the king of a country.
But if Song Wanting gave birth to a son...
The emperor's heart gradually warmed up. He thought of Duke Ning of Jincheng. One day, Duke Ning of Jincheng came to the palace to play chess with him. He talked about family affairs and said that he intended to pass on his eldest son Su Wang and pass the title to his eldest grandson. Su Jian.
Since the son can’t do it, doesn’t there still be a grandson? !
The grandson is also of his bloodline and that of Queen Yuanming...
Although he is older now and his health is not as good as before, he will definitely be able to live another seven or eight years. If he keeps his children by his side and teaches them well, will he be able to do it too? !
Although the child is still in the belly, it is not known whether it is a boy or a girl, but if you have such a plan, should you make some arrangements? Moreover, Yuan Mingyuan's life is indeed miserable. It is really not good for Song Wanting to be there. Nurturing the fetus.
Li Lin also received news from Chen Qi.
Chen Qi's original intention was to kill Zhao Mingqi, but at the same time, he also wanted to save his own life. Therefore, he had been looking for a way out and waited until the time was right to kill Zhao Mingqi.
But if Zhao Mingqi left Yuanmingyuan, it would not be easy for him to kill Zhao Mingqi, so he became a little anxious and wanted to take action in advance, but if he did so in advance, he was worried that he would have no way to retreat.
"Chen Qiyu wants to kill Zhao Mingqi and prevent him from leaving Yuanmingyuan." His subordinates said, "He wants to ask the young master to save his life and let him do whatever he wants in the future."
The expression on Li Lin's face was dull: "Tell him that the promise I made to him in the past was to give him a chance for revenge, but it did not include helping him escape unscathed."
Although Zhao Mingqi is no longer the crown prince, he is still the emperor's biological son. Naturally, Li Lin will not be stupid enough to be involved in such a thing.
He asked himself that he did not have the power to reach heaven and earth, and could not cover everyone's eyes and settle everything. If someone found out, it would be of no benefit to him or even Li Cheng, and it might even cause a conflict between Dong Zhao and Li Cheng. grievances.
Just because he could help someone in need didn't mean that he would involve himself or involve Li Cheng in the grudge.
He is still standing on the land of Dong Zhao, and he still wants to marry Su Wan.
Moreover, Chen Qi didn't have much ability to make him pay such a high price to protect him. No matter how much he sympathized with Chen Qi's experience, he would never do such a thing.
"My subordinates told him the same thing, but he said that if the young master doesn't help him, and if something happens to him, he will definitely tell the whole story, and the young master will not be able to survive by then."
Chen Qi's words were considered a threat.
The visitor lowered his head, not daring to look at the expression on Li Lin's face.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Then tell him that if something happens to him, I will never give him a chance to speak again and let him make his own decisions. His life is his own. If he wants to live, he has to think on his own." Method."
"Go down."
"yes."
After the person left, Li Lin sat in front of the desk for a while, gently rubbing the white jade squirrel's jade pendant in his hand, and then sighed softly.
The next day, Tai Chi Hall went to court early.
Someone stood up to plead for Zhao Mingqi, saying that Zhao Mingqi had repented, and now that his wife was pregnant, Yuanmingyuan was a poor place, not easy to care for, and asked the emperor to rearrange the couple's residence.
"Although Zhao Mingqi, a commoner, has great faults, after all, the child is a descendant of the royal family. Now your Majesty only has one princess born to the concubine of Prince Sui's palace. Although Princess Sui is also pregnant now, there are not many, and the royal family's heirs are very few. ....."
"This is exactly the reason. I agree, heirs of the royal family must be cautious..."
"Your Majesty, you must be careful."
