Chapter 110 Prince Yong sent someone to take his wife out of the palace
A fierce look crossed Prince Yong's face. He said, "If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. The person the Guo family must support is always the Crown Prince. Cooperation with me is merely a temporary measure. How do you know that Prime Minister Guo is not also thinking about how to distance himself from the matter, or even put the blame on me?"
Lin Ji nodded, feeling that this was reasonable, and immediately bowed and stepped back to carry out King Yong's order.
At this time, Qiuyao was in Lingbo Garden.
The afterglow of summer shines on the lotus pond outside the yard, the waves are shimmering with golden light, and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom. The yard is paved with neat blue bricks, and a few lanterns are hung under the corridor, adding a touch of tranquility to the twilight.
It should have been hot in the house, but because of the several ice basins placed in the house, a slight cool breeze was coming out, making the air in the whole house fresh and pleasant.
Qiuyao was lying on her side on a small couch at the moment, eating the fruit handed to her by Xiaocui while enjoying Xianghe's massage. She felt so comfortable.
Since she had a one-night stand with Prince Yong in the palace three months ago, she became pregnant with Prince Yong's child. After that, she entered the palace as a concubine. By clinging to the princess's thighs and fighting wits and courage with Concubine Su and her group, she finally gained a foothold.
Princess Murong Zhi had been married to the palace for five years and had been childless, while Concubine Su had given birth to a son and a daughter in succession. Her status and position were almost on par with Murong Zhi's.
Until Qiuyao's arrival, she had been looking for opportunities to gain favor in front of King Yong, and from time to time she would show off her talents and poems, etc. Gradually, she gained some favor.
Qiuyao had already agreed with Murong Zhi that once she gave birth to a little prince, she would adopt the child under Murong Zhi's name and make him the prince of the palace.
In this way, Murong Zhi had a child, and she herself could also get Murong Zhi's protection and survive in the palace.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
But until the day before yesterday, she had just made a few provocative remarks in front of Su Wan'er, and Su Wan'er punished her by making her kneel in the sun. As a result, she fainted not long after kneeling.
When she woke up again, she was delighted to hear that she was already three months pregnant.
For this purpose, King Yong specially moved her to a courtyard with beautiful scenery, and brought people to reward her with many gold and silver jewelry, brocade clothes and other things.
Not only that, Su Wan'er was also confined to her house for harming the heirs of the royal palace, and she could not be released until Qiuyao gave birth to the child safely.
For Qiuyao, this news was like a dream.
She reached out and stroked her belly. This pregnancy came at the perfect time. Not only did it bring her better treatment, it also dealt a heavy blow to her biggest competitor, Su Wan'er.
It’s just too beautiful.
Just when Qiuyao was feeling proud, a little maid opened the door curtain and walked in, bowing and reporting:
"My aunt, the prince is already heading towards Lingbo Garden. He will arrive in about half a cup of tea."
Upon hearing this, Qiuyao immediately stood up, told Xiaocui to remove the fruits and snacks from the table, and asked Xianghe to help her lie down on the bed, pretending to be very weak.
Just as she lay down on the bed, she saw Prince Yong pull open the curtain and walk into the room, walking straight towards Qiuyao's bed.
All the maids in the room bowed to Prince Yong. After hearing this, Qiu Yao also made a move to stand up, but Prince Yong stepped forward and stopped her.
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so please don't bother with these formalities."
His words were no longer as cold and resistant as they were at the beginning, but instead contained some pity and tenderness towards Qiuyao.
Upon seeing this, Xiang He and the others immediately bowed and tactfully left.
For a moment, the couple were the only ones left in the room.
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
"The servants are making such a fuss that Your Highness has to make such a trip. I will have a good talk with them later. They are not allowed to bother Your Highness with such trivial matters again."
After a while, Qiuyao took the lead and broke the silence.
When Prince Yong heard this, the annoyance in his heart was instantly suppressed a lot.
I heard from the servants that Qiuyao was the one who fought the most fiercely with Su Wan'er in the entire backyard, and they were almost incompatible.
In the eyes of Prince Yong, Su Wan'er is like water. Although she is a little domineering at times, she still has the agility and cuteness of a woman.
Qiu Yao gave him the feeling of an icy beauty who was now being conquered by his charm and slowly melting. He even had to use some means to win his favor.
This greatly satisfied the vanity of King Yong, so much so that he gradually became more and more amiable and gentle towards Qiu Yao during their subsequent interactions.
"It's just a short walk. Yao'er, there's no need to worry about me. As for you, is the baby in your belly okay?"
Although he had some intentions of taking advantage of Qiu Yao, his feelings were not completely false.
Qiuyao is beautiful and now she is pregnant with her own child. No man can ignore it.
He already had few children, and if Qiuyao could give birth to another son for the palace, Prince Yong would be very happy.
Qiu Yao shook her head and buried her head in Prince Yong's chest. She said, "The child is fine, but I have been in the palace for quite some time now, and I miss my mother very much. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to see my mother to comfort my longing for her."
Her mother and sisters were still in the Criminal Court. If Qiuyao wanted to see them, she had to get the prince's permission and send someone to bring them out of the palace.
Qiuyao did this because she felt that she was about to win and couldn't wait to share this good news with her mother and sisters, especially Qiuning.
Secondly, she also wanted to test her weight in Prince Yong's mind and see whether Prince Yong was willing to really go to the palace to ask for this grace for her.
After hearing this, Prince Yong hesitated for a moment, then quickly put on a warm smile and said:
"Since Yao'er has such a wish, how can I refuse to agree?"
"Leave this matter to this king."
Qiuyao's eyes were filled with joy, and she looked at him lovingly: "Really?"
"Will this be too much trouble, Your Majesty?"
Prince Yong's large hand slowly moved to Qiuyao's lower abdomen, and he spoke in a gentle voice, "For the sake of our child, even if it means a little hardship for me, what's the harm?"
For a moment, the room was filled with sweet love and affection.
On the other hand, when Qiu Ning returned to the palace, Yueya told her that Zhang had been taken out of the palace by Prince Yong's men along with her two concubine sisters, Qiu Chan and Qiu Xue.
Qiu Ning didn't even have time to change his robes before he turned around and asked:
"Leaving the palace? Mother and two sisters?"
"You said that Prince Yong sent someone to pick him up?"
Yueya replied, "That's right. When you were away, it was the steward of Prince Yong's mansion who came to pick up the lady and the two young ladies. He said that the eldest young lady missed her mother, so Prince Yong asked the Emperor for permission to let the lady leave the palace to be with the eldest young lady."
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this.
But for some reason, Qiu Ning felt something was a little strange. It was hard to put into words.
