Chapter 1340 Give Me Justice
After Lianyi dealt with Qingran, she left Yunzhou and headed towards Fangzhou. Her destination was always Kyoto.
Gu Die'er in the harem didn't know that her good sister was approaching her little by little. She was listening to Lancao reporting the latest news in the East Palace.
"Miss, Concubine Min had a miscarriage. I heard that the baby was only one month old. She didn't even know it. It was discovered because musk was added to the incense she burned in the place where she lived. General Manager Su is taking people to check."
"Didn't the Crown Princess intervene?"
"I heard that the Crown Princess was shocked. When Nanny Gu beside her found out, she immediately went to check the incense that the Crown Princess usually used, and then went to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
I heard that the Crown Princess's incense was also added with ingredients, but because the Crown Princess was cautious, she had not used any incense in the house or on her clothes since she became pregnant, so she didn't get caught. The Crown Prince was furious, so he specially asked Su An to check."
After hearing this, Gu Die'er said with disdain:
"I'm afraid it's not the thief crying catch thief!"
"Miss, what you mean is that this is the work of the Crown Princess."
"Who else can have such a long hand except her? The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't have such courage."
"But Concubine Min didn't show pregnancy when she took her pulse two months ago!"
Lan Cao said puzzledly.
"That's because the Crown Princess knew that I was tricked and I was sure I couldn't have children, but Concubine Min should have escaped her trick, so she had a second trick. It's just that Concubine Min was careless and didn't even know she was pregnant, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of her."
"Miss, you are the only one in the Crown Prince's backyard who is not pregnant and nothing happened. Do you think the Crown Prince will suspect you?"
"You are right. The Crown Prince is suspicious. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you should spend money to invite the imperial physician now. Remember to avoid those who often diagnose the Crown Princess's pulse and find a new person to come and check my pulse."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."
Lan Cao hurriedly went to invite the imperial physician with her skirt lifted.
In addition to the Crown Princess, Concubine Xu and Wu Liangdi also suspected Gu Die'er. After all, she was the only one among the five women in the Crown Prince's backyard who didn't make any moves. Maybe the other party was jealous, so they took action.
However, the two still focused their suspicion on the Crown Princess. After all, no matter which of the three of them gave birth to a boy, it would be a threat to the Crown Princess's belly. Since it was a threat, the Crown Princess would definitely take action to solve it.
Gu Die'er spent money to ask the new rookie in the Imperial Hospital to take her pulse, and then the news that she had lost her fertility spread throughout the Crown Prince's backyard in an instant.
When the women heard the news, their expressions were different.
Crown Princess: How did this idiot get smart this time?
Concubine Xu, Concubine Min, and Wu Liangdi: It turns out that this unlucky guy got caught in the first round. As expected, she is the daughter of a merchant and is not qualified to fight with them.
Gu Die'er: I just spread the news that I can't have children, make myself a victim, and see what the Crown Prince will do.
Xin Yuan frowned and asked the reason when he heard Su An come back and said that Gu Die'er fainted.
Su An hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Gu Die'er was frightened by Concubine Min's miscarriage, and was afraid that she would be like Concubine Min, losing her child without knowing it, so she asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, and the result was..."
"What was the result? Don't hesitate, just say it!"
Xin Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and then said in a stern voice.
"Your Highness, I don't know when Gu Die'er got into trouble. The imperial physician diagnosed that she has lost her fertility."
"What? Is it true?"
"It is true. It was the imperial physician Xiao Yu, the grandson of the director of the Imperial Hospital, who took her pulse. Gu Liangyuan couldn't bear the shock and fainted."
The prince's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect that these women in the harem were so cruel. They actually cut off Gu Die'er's retreat under his nose. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Su An, check for me. I want to see who did it. If I don't give Gu Die'er an explanation for this matter, the Gu family will definitely not be my money bag. A marriage without an heir is unreliable."
"Yes, I will check it right away."
Xin Yuan couldn't sit still anymore. He ordered some medicinal materials and took people to Gu Die'er's residence.
Gu Die'er had put on a sickly makeup to make herself look like she was hit hard. When she saw Xin Yuan, her tears fell like beads from a broken string. She struggled to get off the bed and knelt down, saying with a choked voice:
"Your Highness, you have to make a decision for Die'er!"
"Get up quickly, don't be sad, I will definitely make a decision for you!"
Xin Yuan felt very uncomfortable and immediately stepped forward to help the kneeling Gu Die'er up.
Gu Die'er grabbed Xin Yuan's arm tightly with both hands, and her strength was so strong that Xin Yuan felt pain, but in this case, he couldn't pull his hand back, so he had to help her sit on the bed.
Gu Die'er seemed to realize that she had overstepped her boundaries, so she took her hand back, and then said to the people in the room:
"All of you go down, I want to talk to the prince alone."
Lan Cao immediately bowed and withdrew with the maids and the old women, but the people around the prince did not leave.
Gu Die'er looked disheartened and said to Xin Yuan:
"Prince, let Eunuch Su stay and serve, and everyone else can go out. I have something to say to His Highness."
Xin Yuan came here to appease Gu Die'er, so he naturally had to go along with her, so he waved his hand and asked everyone else to go down, leaving only Su An by his side.
Gu Die'er wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, stared at Xin Yuan with a pair of sad eyes, and said softly:
"Your Highness, from the first time I saw you, Die'er knew that you approached me for a purpose. There was admiration and curiosity in your eyes, but no love, Die'er could feel it.
Die'er was young, and she only thought that she had made a friend with profound knowledge. Die'er thought that she had not given Your Highness any wrong hints, but an imperial decree broke my life. Only then did I know that Xin Yuan was the current prince.
Everyone around me praised me for being lucky, and being valued by Your Highness, a phoenix that flew to the branches, and would definitely be rich and powerful in the future. Only my mother hugged me and cried on my shoulders.
At that time, I didn't understand why I had to marry someone I didn't like, and as a concubine, even if the other party was this... The most noble person in the world, I am not happy either.
Die'er's heart is very small, it can only accommodate one person, I just hope that someone can love and protect me in this life, cherish me, and have a child of ours, then it will be perfect.
But all these were buried the day I was carried into the East Palace!
Die'er doesn't understand what great undertakings are, but I respect my mother's hard work, and pity my younger brother who is too young to manage the family, so I put away the past and put all my thoughts on His Highness, and regard His Highness as my heaven.
Die'er doesn't want anything, even if it is an exchange of interests, I hope His Highness can protect me a little, so that I can live a stable life, and I don't even expect His Highness to give me a child.
But now Die'er has lost even the right to be a mother. If this is what His Highness means, then Die'er naturally knows how to deal with herself in the future. If not, please give me justice. "
