Chapter 475 Lu Huaining is missing
In the room, Xiao Chenyan's eyes flashed with concern, and he asked anxiously: "What's going on with Shen Ruzhou?"
Jun Wu reported respectfully: "Your Highness, Miss Shen arrived at the imperial concubine's palace, talked to the imperial concubine for a while and then rested. Nothing happened."
Xiao Chenyan was relieved to hear that Shen Ruzhou was okay.
Next to him, Jun Wu hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the newly discovered news, "Your Highness, when I just came back from the palace, I saw Lian'er, the personal maid next to the imperial concubine, sneaking out of the palace to buy medicine."
Xiao Chenyan was full of doubts, "If you want any medicine from your concubine, you can just go to the Imperial Hospital to get it. Why do you have to buy it secretly outside the palace?"
Jun Wu followed: "My subordinates also felt strange, so they followed secretly and found that what Lian'er bought was anti-fetal medicine, but I didn't know who it was for?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan stood up from his chair and sneered: "Who else could it be but Shen Ruzhou?"
A cold feeling rose in Xiao Chenyan's eyes. He originally blamed himself for asking Shen Ruzhou to rush back to Beijing this time, which made her feel so uncomfortable. But now it seems that she is actually pregnant.
She and Shen Ruzhou had only been separated for a few months, but she actually had someone else's child so quickly.
Thinking again about this period of time, Shen Ruzhou and Bei Xiuyan spent time together in Beijing City. This child must be from Bei Xiuyan. At this time, Xiao Chenyan's internal organs felt like they were falling into a blazing fire, and he was burning with pain.
There was a scarlet color in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Very good!"
In the Qingju courtyard, Zhang San looked around with thief eyes, and when he saw no one was there, he knocked lightly on the door.
Ling'er was already waiting by the door, opened the door and brought him to Mu Wanrong.
Zhang San told the news verbatim.
Mu Wanrong was so angry that she pushed all the tea cups and snacks on the table to the ground.
After a crackling sound.
Mu Wanrong fell down on the couch with a pale face, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
Zhang San was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. He stood aside and walked away, neither staying nor leaving.
At this time, the maid Ling'er had the courage to step forward and persuade her: "Concubine, your anger is hurting your health, and you are still pregnant with the young prince."
Hearing this, Mu Wanrong put her hands on her belly, and her words were full of despair: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already abandoned me, and now he can keep me by his side only because I am pregnant with the child. Now Shen Ruzhou is also pregnant, What else could I expect?!”
Seeing that his master was in pain, Ling'er comforted him and said, "Concubine, don't worry. Even if Shen Ruzhou is pregnant, you are the eldest son and she can't get past her."
"Pa." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wanrong raised her hand and gave Ling'er a slap, and scolded sternly: "You shallow-sighted thing, what's the use of just taking the name of an eldest son? After all, he is a bastard."
After saying that, Mu Wanrong's beautiful face was filled with anger and her eyes were fierce.
"The child in Shen Ruzhou's belly must be prevented from being born."
She hooked her finger at Zhang San, who leaned over and asked, "What are your orders from the concubine?"
Mu Wanrong whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhang San nodded and retreated.
In the imperial concubine's palace, Shen Ruzhou drank a bowl of brown sugar water and slept well before feeling much better. The imperial concubine thoughtfully asked someone to bring a hand stove and gave it to her.
"There is mugwort in it. You can put it on your belly to warm it."
Shen Ruzhou took it and thanked with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ruzhou, if you keep thanking me, I'll get angry. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. I owe you such a huge favor. Now it's just a small effort, but you are now more polite to me." The imperial concubine said coquettishly. With a sound, he turned away his face pretending to be angry.
Shen Ruzhou smiled and said in a soft voice: "I said the wrong thing, and I will never be polite to you again."
The imperial concubine nodded helpfully. Seeing Shen Ruzhou's weak appearance, she felt distressed again, "You are so good at medical skills and can cure any serious illness. Why can't you take good care of your own body?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou looked very helpless. She had been fighting and traveling all night these days. She couldn't care about her own body. It was good to hold on and not fall down.
"By the way, let me tell you something." After the imperial concubine said that, she turned around and glanced at the door. Then she waved her hands, and the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace all retreated out of the palace.
When Shen Ruzhou looked at the imperial concubine, he knew he was going to say something important, so he moved towards her unconsciously.
"There are rumors outside that the legitimate son born to the late queen is still alive. The emperor had sent people to look for him secretly before he fainted."
The late queen's legitimate son is still alive?
Shen Ruzhou was shocked. When Beixiu Yan told her that Emperor Yong'an had the late empress's newly born child taken out of the palace and buried alive, Shen Ruzhou was still heartbroken. Fortunately, with God's blessing, the child survived.
"Why search in secret?" Shen Ruzhou was confused. Since he is still alive, should he be found with great fanfare, welcomed into the palace, and make amends?
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and replied: "The emperor only learned the news after he made Xiao Chenyan the crown prince, so naturally he had to find it secretly."
Shen Ruzhou understood this. If the former empress's child is really alive, he will be the emperor's only legitimate son. According to court law, the throne must be inherited by the legitimate son.
With Xiao Chenyan's temperament, if he knew that Emperor Yong'an was sending people to find his legitimate son, he would probably kill the child by any means necessary.
Here, the imperial concubine sighed and said with regret: "Looking at the time, this child should grow into a twelve-year-old boy. I wonder if he can be found."
As soon as the imperial concubine finished speaking, a name suddenly flashed in Shen Ruzhou's mind: Lu Huaining.
When she first saw Lu Huaining, she felt that his facial features were somewhat similar to those of Emperor Yong'an, but at that time she thought it was just the similarities between things and people, so she didn't think much about it.
Later, she discovered that Beixiuyan had very strict requirements on Lu Huaining's homework, and told her, "Huaining is different from other children. He is destined to never have an easy life since he was born."
Now it seems that Lu Huaining is probably the legitimate son of the late empress, and Beixiu Yan knew about it.
This thought made Shen Ruzhou feel excited all over.
She suddenly grabbed the concubine's hand and asked, "Has there been any movement in the Regent's Palace recently? Is Young Master Lu okay?"
The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment and her eyes widened in disbelief, "You haven't heard in the North that Young Master Lu has been missing for a month."
disappeared?
Shen Ruzhou was secretly frightened, but then she thought about it. She had been with Bei Xiuyan these days, but she had never seen any worry on his face.
That could only be because Beixiu Yan hid Lu Huaining in advance.
