Chapter 243 Is the Imperial Heir Su Yu's Son? Dong Wan and Fu Shou's Scheme!
"This humble woman, Wang Guan, greets Lord Sikong, Lord Weiwei, and Uncle Cai."
Cao Cao, Su Yu, and Wang Lang did not know each other.
But Cai Yong was Wang Lang's senior fellow apprentice, a relationship that Wang Guan was naturally aware of.
Cai Yong quickly led Wang Guan to sit down and asked him how Wang Lang was doing.
As she spoke, Wang Guan couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
Sun Ce may seem sunny and cheerful, but he is actually ruthless!
Without exception, all the forces in Jiangdong that opposed him ended up badly.
Even Liu Yao's son, who surrendered voluntarily, died mysteriously half a month after surrendering to Sun Ce.
These achievements of Sun Ce made Wang Guan very worried about the whereabouts of his father, Wang Lang.
Su Yu and Cao Cao exchanged glances secretly.
Sun Ce's way of doing things presents a lot of opportunities to exploit!
As for whether Wang Lang is alive or dead, Su Yu believes that the probability of him being alive is far greater than that of him being dead.
Historically, after Wang Lang's defeat, he intended to immediately head north to join Cao Cao.
However, due to Sun Ce's obstruction, Wang Lang had no choice but to change his route to Jiaozhou, where he spent a full twelve years with Shi Xie.
On the eve of the Battle of Red Cliffs, Wang Lang finally surrendered to the imperial court, returned to Xuchang, and was treated with courtesy by Cao Cao.
That is to say, Sun Ce was a fool who didn't know what was good for him, and he regarded Wang Lang as an enemy.
In fact, a great Confucian scholar like Wang Lang, who brought his own resources, would have been treated as an honored guest by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Liu Bei.
Su Yu comforted Wang Guan, telling her that Cao Cao's camp would send intelligence guards to search for Wang Lang's whereabouts.
Wang Lang is a lucky man, destined for great wealth and honor, and will certainly not die easily at the hands of Sun Ce.
Sometimes, good looks are everything.
Su Yu's words calmed Wang Guan down.
However, considering that Wang Guan was, after all, a woman, Su Yu and Cai Yong discussed having Cai Yan do some psychological work on Wang Guan.
And so, Wang Guan entered the Guard Commandant's Office.
Cai Yan was not afraid of letting the wolf into her house.
She is, after all, the daughter of my father's junior apprentice. If she is to be brought into the household, we will know her background well.
Of course, that's a story.
Cai Yan's due date is approaching.
Zhang Zhongjing diagnosed that this pregnancy was definitely a boy.
In other words, Su Yu is about to have a son.
Su Yu was very much looking forward to it.
With Diao Chan and Mi Zhen also expecting children, the Su family is sure to have a large and prosperous household next year.
……
Imperial Palace Bedchamber
Dong Wan touched her increasingly large belly.
In fact, Dong Wan was already pregnant before Su Yu set off for Runan.
It has been almost five months now.
That is, Dong Wan is thin, so her belly is not so obvious.
But no matter how much you try to cover it up, it's impossible to hide it completely.
Dong Wan has done this more than once to register her son's household registration.
Ironically, Liu Xie has never actually touched Dong Wan.
However, every time Su Yu stayed overnight at the palace, Liu Xie would get "completely drunk".
After that, Dong Wan would send Liu Xie a nourishing soup.
It was called a health-preserving soup, but in reality, it was meant to make Liu Xie lose his sexual desire.
In other words, only when Su Yu stayed overnight at the palace could Liu Xie hear about his display of prowess from Dong Wan and Fu Shou's accounts.
But in reality, he is still a child.
Suddenly, a palace maid ran up to report to Dong Wan:
"Consort Dong, Her Majesty the Empress invites you to sit in her bedchamber."
A hint of doubt appeared in Dong Wan's eyes, but she immediately got up and left.
Upon arriving at Fu Shou's bedchamber, they saw Fu Shou acting as if she had done something wrong, pulling Dong Wan to sit on the edge of the bed and then dismissing the surrounding palace maids.
"It's all your fault!"
I think I'm pregnant!
Fu Shou rubbed her stomach with a resentful expression.
Delayed menstruation, vomiting, increased appetite, and excluding malicious palace intrigue, these symptoms most likely indicate pregnancy.
Of course, Fu Shou doesn't dare to openly seek out the imperial physician for a consultation right now; she only has a pillar of support when Dong Wan arrives.
Dong Wan gently patted Fu Shou's belly and smiled:
"What are you afraid of?"
"If it's there, it's there."
"I'd even like to have twins at once!"
"you……"
Fu Shou shook her head; she had no right to criticize Dong Wan either.
Because the two of them are now in the same boat.
Having done similar things, there's no going back.
Dong Wan sighed softly:
"Actually, if you are timid, when you give birth to this baby, you can ask Brother Ziyi to make arrangements and say that it was a difficult labor."
"Anyway, Liu Xie has no idea what happened."
"After you give birth, find a corpse to be your substitute, and you can go to Brother Ziyi's mansion with the child to enjoy a life of luxury."
Fu Shou was completely convinced.
Well, she used to think Dong Wan was foolish.
They've thought everything through; if it really comes down to palace intrigue, they're definitely a master.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Dong Wan bid farewell to Fu Shou and returned to her palace for a good night's sleep.
As for whether or not to keep the child in the palace as the heir to the throne.
Isn't that obvious?
In Dong Wan's eyes, this was Ziyi's child and hers, so why should it be left to that disgusting Liu Xie?
At that time, Dong Wan and Fu Shou will both escape with the child, leaving Liu Xie immersed in the grief of losing his prince.
Who cares whether Liu Xie lives or dies!
Once a woman turns evil, she can be this ruthless!
……
Wancheng
Zhang Xiu was in a great mood.
He and the head of the Zou family have reached an agreement after discussions.
The marriage between Zhang Ji and the eldest daughter of the Zou family was thus cancelled.
Instead, Zhang Xiu tried to arrange a marriage between Zou's eldest daughter and Su Yu.
Although she was a concubine, given Su Yu's status in Cao Cao's camp, the Zou family was definitely not at a disadvantage.
If the wedding goes smoothly.
From now on, the Zou family's influence in Wancheng will far surpass that of the other families of the same level.
People are happy when they are happy.
Zhang Xiu solved the problem that had troubled him for many days, and as he walked, he began to hum a popular tune from the north.
But when he returned to his residence, his good mood was instantly shattered.
Liu Biao actually sent an envoy over!
Moreover, the envoy was Kuai Qi, Kuai Yue's nephew.
"My name is Kuai Qi. I greet General Zhang."
Kuai Qi smiled and bowed to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu quickly gestured to Hu Che'er, who was standing nearby, to go find Jia Xu.
He himself chatted with Kuai Qi intermittently.
Kuai Qisheng, being gentle and refined, didn't seem to care much about Zhang Xiu's occasional outbursts of profanity.
But as they talked, Kuai Qi suddenly looked serious and said:
"General Zhang, may I ask you if you have any intention of defecting to Cao Cao?"
In an instant, Zhang Xiu broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously reached for the spear that had accompanied him in earning his title as the King of Spears in the North!
