Chapter 599: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (6)
Imperial Physician Chen nodded, "Yes, even if he can survive this time, if he doesn't have any other luck in the future, he will be bedridden for many years."
"what?!"
The imperial concubine thought a lot in an instant. She couldn't let her son marry such a sickly girl, otherwise it would be difficult for him to have children.
But Shuangshuang cannot die now, otherwise the Third Prince will be branded as the one who angered his beloved fiancée to death.
In this case, which minister would be willing to support him?
"Imperial Physician Chen, can the princess's illness be cured?"
"To your Majesty, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate!"
The emperor was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand and issued an order.
"Imprison the Third Prince in the Third Prince's Mansion!
Princess Changning was demoted to Princess!"
When the imperial concubine heard that her son was to be included and her daughter was to be demoted, she was stunned to the ground.
"Your Majesty! I beg you..."
The emperor gave her a cold look and said, "My Lady, you should just pray that the child is okay.
Otherwise, I will not only lose a good brother, but also my daughter and son!"
The imperial concubine knelt down on the cold stone slab with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I will go and chant sutras and pray for Chang'an. May the Buddha bless her with good health!
Please, please forgive our prince this time."
"Humph, as a dignified prince, he actually resorted to such cunning tactics for a woman. How can such a person be worthy of such a great responsibility?"
"No! Your Majesty!
I believe our prince was only temporarily bewitched by that palace maid. As long as that palace maid disappears, he will definitely return to normal."
"Your Highness, only you can come up with such a self-deceiving excuse to fool others.
Hey, you still hope that Chen Aiqing's medical skills can cure Chang'an's child.
Otherwise, with the stubborn character of the Loyal and Righteous King, he would never give up."
The imperial concubine's expression straightened up, "Your Majesty, I believe that Chang'an is blessed by fate, and she will definitely get better."
Perhaps it was because the imperial physician Chen was so skilled, both of them gradually recovered.
Although he is still bedridden, at least he is not as lifeless as before.
The imperial concubine took the opportunity to plead with the emperor to lift the third prince's house arrest.
“Your Majesty, after all, they are an engaged couple.
The wedding is coming up soon, how can you confine your fiancée?"
The emperor had only four sons in total. The eldest prince fell into the water and had a high fever when he was a child, and became mentally retarded.
The second prince has been sickly since he was a child. He has been taking medicine before he learned to drink milk. The imperial physician had long predicted that he would not live past the age of thirty.
Two of the third and fourth princes are healthy.
The fourth prince was still young, so the emperor always placed his hopes on the third prince.
Although they were very angry about what he did, they also knew that they could not suppress him too much, otherwise the ministers would not be convinced by him.
So they lifted his house arrest and ordered him to cooperate fully with the Ministry of Rites to marry Shuangshuang as soon as possible.
This time the Third Prince did not dare to cause any trouble, but he sent secret guards to protect Yang Liu.
On this day, the emperor held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and specifically asked King Zhongyi to bring Shuangshuang into the palace.
Shuangshuang asked Xiaojuzi, "What does the Dog Emperor want to do?"
"It should be because of you and the Third Prince, right?
During this period, rumors that the third prince pretended to be dead for a palace maid became more and more intense.
Although the imperial concubine told someone that he was rescued from danger, who among the dignitaries present that day would believe it except the common people?
Everyone said that Princess Chang'an was fasting and praying for him in Huangjue Temple.
But he didn't show up, but was fooling around with that palace maid in the second princess's villa!
This is too cold and thin.”
"Okay then, we must seize this opportunity."
So on that day, Shuangshuang entered the palace looking very sick.
Because the place to appreciate the moon is naturally the Imperial Garden.
At this time, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and a group of ladies were reciting poems and composing couplets to praise the big and round moon tonight.
As qualified sick people, Shuangshuang naturally would not participate in these activities.
With a dejected look on his face, he left with his personal maid Cuilan.
When they arrived at Taiye Lake, Cuilan didn't know that Shuangshuang was pretending, so she looked at Shuangshuang worriedly.
"Miss, how are you? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"I'm fine. This is in the palace. Don't make trouble."
At this time, Yang Liu actually walked over slowly with her belly bulging.
She held her chin high, stood in front of Shuangshuang with a proud look on her face, and did not even salute.
"Princess Chang'an, if you're not feeling well, you shouldn't come out. It would be bad if you scared others, don't you think?"
Cuilan saw that she was disrespectful to her own girl.
"How dare you not kneel down and salute the princess when you see her!"
Yang Liu held the maid with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and smiled.
"I'm so sorry, Princess Chang'an, I'm already pregnant with the Third Prince's eldest son.
I cannot bow to you for the time being, as it would hurt the child. Please forgive me."
Shuangshuang saw her smug look and asked Xiaojuzi suspiciously in her heart.
"Is this Third Prince so stupid?
He actually brought a pregnant woman into the palace openly, and the imperial concubine didn't even care?"
“It’s not stupidity, it’s conceit!
After all, you are so stupid that you would rather be a widow than marry him."
Both of them gritted their teeth, "That's not me, don't get it confused, thank you!"
Little Orange immediately changed his words, "Yes, it was the original owner who made the mistake.
The emperor has four sons, and at present he is the only one qualified to inherit the throne.
As for the Imperial Concubine, that goes without saying. No matter who gave birth to the child, he would be her grandson, the Emperor's eldest grandson, and this would give her greater control over you and her."
Okay, Shuangshuang just can’t find a reason to cancel the engagement, so why not make use of the reason that’s been given to her?
Seeing that Shuangshuang didn't say anything, Yang Liu thought she would accept it.
He was so proud of himself that he was exchanging glances with the maidservant beside him.
Suddenly Shuangshuang stepped forward and slapped her twice!
With this kind of strength, how can it be like someone who is curing a disease?
After the fight, he loudly instructed the governess beside him.
"You personally send him back to the Third Prince.
Just say that I didn’t let his darling bow, and if I really have to stretch my waist, don’t come to trouble me.”
In an instant, these words attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing the palace maid with her chin raised high, everyone started whispering.
"This Third Prince is too shortsighted."
"That's right. This maid isn't pretty either, but he almost gave up his position as a prince just for her."
"Maybe that maiden has this special talent and is born to seduce men."
"I think so too. Otherwise, palace banquets are so strict, who would bring a concubine to attend a palace banquet?"
These words happened to be heard by the emperor, empress and their entourage who were coming over.
The emperor's face instantly turned cold, and he glanced at the third prince beside him indifferently.
The third prince felt all the pores on his body shrink and was about to speak out to stop it.
But Yang Liu suddenly tried to pour it out in the Taiye Lake, and said loudly.
"Princess Chang'an, why did you push me?"
