When the palace attendants went to check on the queen, Mu Chenjing suddenly saw a sharp knife coming at him, someone was assassinating her!
Mu Chenduan immediately arranged for Zhan Yiming to escort Zhaoruo and Qi Chuchu away, and he joined the melee with the others.
"Protect the Queen!"
Someone yelled, and all the palace attendants had no choice but to help Rong Yuan retreat. After all, she was already older and today was too dangerous.
After Rong Yuan got on the carriage back to the palace, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her stomach started to move. Was she about to give birth prematurely?
"Queen, please hold on. You must hold on for the sake of the little prince." Jinxiu anxiously held Rong Yuan's hand and burst into tears.
"Quick, get back to the palace!"
The Hua Chao Banquet turned into a mess due to this unexpected situation, and ordinary people fled. The turmoil did not last long. Mu Chenjing rushed back to the palace, while Qin Yu stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
In the palace, Fengyang Hall.
The lights were brightly lit inside and outside, and a large number of palace maids came in and out, bringing out basins of blood. Mu Chenjing and the other concubines were guarding outside.
"What's the situation inside?" Mu Chenjing asked.
"Your Majesty, Po Wen and the imperial doctor both said that the fetus is not in the right position, which may mean difficult labor..."
Bang, Mu Chenjing dropped the rosary beads in his hand and angrily shouted, "If we can't save the queen and the prince in her belly, let them all be buried with her!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."
After another three hours, Rong Yuan's screams came from the hall, and the baby cried once and then made no more noise.
Rong Yuan had fainted, but Po Wen and several imperial doctors all looked pale.
This, giving birth to a stillborn baby...
As expected, Mu Chenjing became furious and punished everyone who delivered babies today. Then he was helped back to the palace by the chief eunuch, leaving a few of the remaining concubines here to attend to the illness.
Only Mu Chenjing himself knew whether losing this child was more disappointing and sad for him, or more comforting.
In short, the queen was frightened at the Hua Dynasty banquet, gave birth to a stillborn child due to dystocia, the emperor was sad and was dying, and the news of the seven-day absence from court soon spread throughout the eastern capital.
Qi Chuchu, who was picking flowers in the mansion, couldn't help feeling a little scared when she heard this.
"Princess, you seem to be looking a little bad, why don't you go and rest." Qian Yu said, holding Qi Chuchu's arm.
Qi Chuchu went to sit down at the small table nearby, took a rest, and suddenly said, "When a woman gives birth to a child, it is true that she has to go to hell, and so does the child..."
"Everything in the world is impermanent. Princess, you and our young prince will definitely be safe."
"I also hope that he is a young prince." In this way, it will be easier for him to live in this world in the future. Being born as a woman in this world will always have many difficulties.
Mu Chenduan also arrived at the flower room at this time. When he saw Qi Chuchu sitting there, he quickly asked her if she was feeling unwell. He asked her several times before he felt relieved.
The two of them came out of the greenhouse together and went to Dongchuan Tower for a big meal, which they ate with Mr. Fu.
It turned out that on the day of the Hua Chao Banquet, Mr. Fu also went to Dongdu City to join in the fun. He hadn’t seen Qi Chuchu for a long time, so he came to catch up.
"Girl, how many months are you now?"
"Almost five months." Qi Chuchu replied with a smile.
Mr. Fu drank a glass of wine and said with a heroic smile, "Since he is your child, when he is born, I will give you a big gift! How about letting this little baby recognize me as his grandfather?"
Qi Chuchu and Muchen looked at each other and said in unison, "Of course that's fine."
The few people chatted happily, but Qi Chuchu couldn't drink, and Mu Chenduan didn't dare to drink too much. In the end, only Mr. Fu drank to his heart's content and was a little drunk.
Mu Chenduan arranged for someone to send Mr. Fu back. When they came out of Dongchuan Tower, they bumped into Youchuan and Yun Luoran.
"What a coincidence that I bumped into His Royal Highness Prince Duan and Princess Duan here." Youchuan nodded slightly, his smile not reaching his eyes.
Mu Chenduan just nodded lightly and was about to leave.
Only then did Yun Luoran notice Qi Chuchu's bulging belly, and the jealousy in his eyes was burning.
"Is Princess Duan pregnant again? She is truly blessed. Congratulations." Yun Luoran said.
Qi Chuchu paused and was polite. After all, there were people coming and going at the door of the restaurant, so even if Yun Luoran didn't mean it, he still had to be polite.
After watching the loving couple leave, Youchuan's expression turned cold and he walked in without caring about Yun Luoran.
Yun Luoran watched the carriage of Prince Duan's Mansion go further and further away before walking into Dongchuan Tower.
After a few months, Yun Luoran returned to the Eastern Capital again. Her mood was no longer as good as before. She now only had strong hatred for Mu Chenduan and Qi Chuchu.
Due to the Queen's affairs, Yun Luoran went to see her sister Yun Guifei without any fanfare and went quietly.
"Luo Ran, how come you have lost so much weight after being in the North for several months? Then Prince Youchuan..., how does he treat you?" Yun Feiran asked.
"Sister, Prince Youchuan has no real affection for me. Most of the time he just ignores me. But with my father here, he doesn't dare to neglect me."
"I heard that the Queen was frightened and gave birth to a stillborn fetus?"
Yun Feiran sneered and said with great disdain, "Isn't it because she is unlucky? It's been seven months and the child has not survived."
