Chapter 995 Undercurrent
When the prince saw Lianyi, she was sitting on the bed, and Lanzhi was carefully feeding her ginseng soup.
After Lianyi saw the prince, her eyes turned red and she choked with sobs:
"Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again."
The prince immediately took two steps forward, sat on the edge of the bed, held Lianyi in his arms, and said lovingly:
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense. Isn't this a good thing? You can't say such unlucky words."
He was very satisfied with the fact that Lianyi had given him three children in a row. In this regard, he was much ahead of the other brothers.
"Your Highness, you don't even know that I fainted after seeing the last child, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier. There was a beam of light in the dim light that attracted me and asked me to follow.
Just when I was about to cross the door, I suddenly heard His Highness calling me, Concubine. When I turned around, I saw His Highness holding three children, telling me to come back quickly.
Only then did I react and ran towards His Highness, but His Highness turned around and walked away. I really couldn't keep up with His Highness's footsteps, so I woke up in a hurry. "
Lianyi leaned in the prince's arms, holding the handkerchief and wiping her tears as she spoke.
The prince listened carefully, patting Ripple's back and comforting her softly:
"It seems that Lianyi was worried about her, so she escaped."
"That's natural. I only have Your Highness in my heart, and now there are three more children. Without anyone, I can't live without anyone."
Lianyi immediately said coquettishly.
"Okay, the most important thing for you now is to think too much and relax your mind. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body."
The prince said sincerely.
"I know that after I recover, I will take the children back."
Ripple immediately said with a smile.
This time the prince hesitated, obviously he didn't want to take the three children back, but he didn't say it out loud now.
Lianyi could naturally see it, but she didn't expose it. This bitch actually didn't want the child to get close to her, but there was no rush now. She would have plenty of ways to take the child back after she "recuperated her body."
After the prince communicated his feelings with Lianyi, he left in a hurry. He still had to deal with those who were plotting against the prince. If he didn't take this opportunity to peel off the second and third brothers, his title of prince would be in vain.
At this time, the pressure in the Second Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion were both very low. It was really because their plans had failed, and now the Crown Prince had given birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson before them, which was even more unfavorable to them.
The two of them arranged for someone to take action, but they were unsuccessful. Now that the person was caught, they were a little passive.
They are not worried that the person who does it will involve them. People who can do such things must be strict with their mouths, and their weaknesses are also caught in their hands, so they will not and dare not involve them. But since the matter has happened, it is inevitable that it will happen. Someone turned their attention to them.
After all, if something goes wrong with the prince's heir, the outcome would be best for them, so they decided to keep a low profile recently.
Although the emperor is old, he has also experienced the struggle for the throne. Although there is no evidence pointing to his other two adult sons, any fool knows what is going on.
So in the next period of time, the second prince and the third prince were both ordered by the emperor, and they were almost pointed at their noses and scolded.
The emperor's partial behavior made the former wallflowers involuntarily favor the prince. After all, the prince was the legitimate heir to the throne.
Now the Crown Princess has given birth to three more children in a row, and her position is stable. Behind the Crown Princess is General Meng at the border, who holds military power. As long as the Qianglang clan persists in their evil intentions, the Emperor will not take back the military power in the hands of General Meng.
This has become the capital and backing of the prince, and now the child has become the link between the two families. Even if it is not for his daughter, but for his grandson, General Meng will stand by the prince, and the situation in the court suddenly becomes clear.
The concubines De and Liang in the harem were also deliberately ignored by the emperor. They didn't even have the chance to plead for their son. They were so angry that they could only lower their profile and go to pay respects to the queen every day.
Although the queen was secretly happy in her heart, her face remained calm. It was the same as it was before, and it is still the same now. Concubine De and Concubine Liang brought the topic to the prince several times, but the queen did not talk to him at all.
Concubine De and Concubine Liang were unhappy and anxious. When they spoke frankly, the queen used the excuse that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" and ignored their singing. Then she held her head and complained that she had a headache, and dismissed all the people who asked her.
After doing this twice, the two noble concubines also knew that they had made the wrong effort and could only temporarily stop their activities, but there was nowhere to vent their unwillingness.
Because Lianyi was "injured" during childbirth, she has been recuperating in the East Palace. The queen exempted her from daily greetings. In addition, there were some fluctuations in the court during this period. The queen exempted all the concubines from paying their respects on the grounds that she had to take care of the emperor's grandson. Sorry, I only see these people on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
The harem became quiet for a while, and seemed to have regained its former peace and tranquility. However, even the maids and eunuchs in the palace became more and more cautious in their actions, and the empresses in the harem also felt the undercurrent surging under the calm surface.
With Duoduo on Lianyi's side, she didn't let people around her inquire about the news in the palace at all. As for the news that others specifically leaked to her about the maids and nuns around her, she just took it as a joke and didn't make any comment.
"Princess, I feel that there have been some changes in the palace recently. There have been a lot more patrolling guards, especially in the East Palace."
Grandma Sun still couldn't help but said to Ripple.
Although she has been guarding the back house, she is still in the military commander's mansion, and she is still relatively sensitive to the transfer of some soldiers and guards.
Lianyi was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that the old nanny sent by the Meng family to monitor her actually had some knowledge.
"Mother Sun, this is the East Palace, where the prince lives. It should be the safest place. I'm not in good health right now. You just need to take good care of me. Don't ask any questions."
Lianyi said calmly.
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Grandma Sun lowered her head and said respectfully.
That night, Xia Feng, who had been visiting the three children, jumped into the window and brought unexpected news to Ripple.
"Master, the three children are fine, but you will not be fine in two days."
Whirlwind licked his paws, shook his whiskers and said.
"What did you hear? What did the queen and the prince want to do?"
Lianyi was taking a medicinal bath and asked directly without opening her eyes.
"The second prince and the third prince saw that the old emperor was biased towards the prince. Now that the prince has three heirs, his status is even more unshakable. They are ready to give it a last try, otherwise they will have no chance at all when the prince ascends the throne. "
"Are they planning to force the palace?"
Ripple said with certainty.
"Yes, and it is a two-pronged approach, not only forcing the old emperor to abdicate, but also preparing to trap the prince to death. You and your three children are also on their killing list."
"Does the prince know?"
"I know, and he is prepared to use the trick to make himself ascend to the throne as soon as possible."
