The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 349

Fengyi Palace had already prepared life-saving medicine. Qi Siliao helped Hu Luanfei change the wet, cold and bloody towel. Seeing him half dead, he cried with heartache.

Hu Luanfei raised his hand to wipe it off for him and said with a smile: "A dignified war king is ashamed to change that thing for a woman, and you still have the nerve to cry."

Qi Siliao turned his face away and tears fell.

"I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand you. Pour me a cup of hot water." Hu Luanfei drank the spiritual spring water. The bleeding stopped immediately and his expression became much more relaxed.

"Why did you hide this from me?"

"What am I hiding from you?"

"About the pregnancy."

Hu Luanfei chuckled, "Silly boy, I'm not pregnant, I'm fine."

Qi Siliao's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "How could Imperial Doctor Li's diagnosis be wrong?"

Hu Luanfei explained: "The queen framed me, so I had to do something to fight back against her. This happened naturally, and it was a little painful in the process."

"You idiot!" Qi Si Liao's whole body collapsed, and he relaxed deeply, "I thought you..."

"Don't be afraid. Even if we have a second, third, fourth, or fifth baby, it will be safe. The most important thing right now is the Queen Mother. She is old and may not be able to give birth. You should go out quickly to arrange for the imperial physician and the midwife to do your best to save them and their child."

“……”He doesn’t have the final say on this matter.

The Queen Mother suffered a difficult labor, which lasted three days and three nights. At dawn on the third day, the baby's cry was accompanied by a shrill howl and was heartening.

"It's born, it's a prince..." The midwife was speechless and knelt down hurriedly holding the child.

Because of premature birth, the baby did not absorb enough nutrition from the mother, was thin and small, and his crying gradually became softer.

Qi Sili ordered the matter to be kept silent and the child was handed over to the temple to be raised.

The Queen Mother had suffered from the difficult childbirth and was no longer as well as she used to be.

The Queen Mother’s birthday banquet was never held.

Rumors were spreading in the palace, from top to bottom, from left to right, inside and outside. Outside the palace, in the streets and alleys, the storytellers were most in need of works that would attract a lot of attention.

Strike while the iron is hot, storytellers from all walks of life smell the scent of getting rich like dogs, and tell the secrets of the palace in an exaggerated way.

Some said that Princess Zhan had no respect for her elders and offended her mother-in-law, causing her mother-in-law to suffer a miscarriage and was in danger of dying.

Some said that the empress dowager was unfaithful to her husband and brought shame to the late emperor.

Some even said that the Queen and Prince Zhan were having an affair, and one night a few years ago, the two were flirting with each other at Tonghua Terrace.

Hu Luanfei was lying in bed recuperating, drinking bitter medicine spoonful by spoonful by the bedside.

The person involved in the scandal had been sleepless and her eyes were dark. After she finished drinking the medicine, he immediately took it.

She dodged, he chased.

She was angry, and he comforted her.

She hid, and he was shameless.

He didn't say a word about the rumors.

She suddenly found it magical. How did this rumor spread around and eventually lead to the story of him and the Queen?

"What do you think of the Queen?"

Qi Siliao's eyebrows tightened, "She and I are innocent."

He must be tired of saying the word "innocence".

"I know you two have a good relationship... ugh!"

The thick palm blocked the words she was about to say.

When Qi Siliao looked at her, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and his slightly raised eyebrows hid a bit of indifference. "She is trying to climb the social ladder, likes power, and is two-faced."

"Oh?" Hu Luanfei was surprised by Qi Siriao's evaluation. "I thought she was your white moonlight, forcing you, but you were reluctant to say a few unpleasant words to her."

Qi Si Liao did not hide it, "She was once my fiancée."

"Damn, you two are having an affair!"

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Si Liao gave her a slap on the face. "Since her mother's family lost power and I suddenly fell out of favor, she began to shift her focus to Qi Si Li."

Hu Luanfei rarely showed a look of compassion, "You are so pitiful..."

Qi Siliao hung his head, looking like a stray dog ​​that had been heartbroken in the storm.

"She has never been, is now, or will ever be better than you."

Hu Luanfei's ears turned red, and she punched his chest with her little fist, "You are the only one who knows how to coax people."

His hand was grabbed, and his warm lips touched the back of his hand. Hu Luanfei's face also turned red. "Instead of playing with me, you might as well think about how to get back your grandparents' property."

"Confiscated."

Hu Luanfei put his hand to his lips and coughed a few times, "Why?"

"The Queen Mother's immorality has brought disaster to my mother's family. The Emperor ordered the closure of all of the Queen Mother's properties. Upon investigation, it was found that the Queen Mother's relatives not only evaded taxes, but also took human lives. The Emperor was furious and all nine clans were punished. The men were sent to the border to do hard labor and were never allowed to return to the capital. The women were sent to slavery and were not allowed to become good people for generations."

Hu Luanfei suddenly froze, feeling cold all over, "What about Yuling and her mother?"

"Because of her meritorious service in exposing the Yu family, the emperor showed her special favor and conferred the title of fifth-rank Xiaoyi on Yu Guiji, and her mother was conferred the title of first-rank imperial consort."

"The ending is not bad, but you haven't answered my question yet, why was my grandparents' property confiscated?"

Qi Siliao looked away, not intending to respond, but forced her down, pulled the quilt over her, patted her, and signaled her to go to sleep.

The Queen Mother's problem was solved, and Yuling was promoted. A palace banquet was held and the whole palace celebrated.

For a time, Yuling was in the limelight, and the wives of officials who wanted to use their connections raised their glasses to celebrate.

The atmosphere at the palace banquet was high, with singing and dancing going on.

During the banquet, the queen entered the palace alone, her plain clothes loose, and said, "I beg the emperor to grant me death."

Everyone thought she was asking the emperor to spare her mother's family.

But she spoke, unexpectedly.

Tonight is the family banquet for Yu Guiji's promotion to Xiaoyi. Although her position is not high, the banquet is very grand because she is pregnant.

Foreign ministers, eunuchs, royal relatives and concubines all attended the ceremony in their best attire.

Only the Queen was kneeling on the ground with her clothes disheveled.

The Queen is Yuling's cousin.

Today, Yuling couldn't sit in the high seat any more, so she stood up and knelt down together, "Your Majesty, please have mercy, the queen was just confused."

She is the only one left from the queen's maternal family.

Her brothers were implicated and sent to the frontier, and her sisters were exiled as slaves. She lived a life worse than death, but she had to live.

It is a capital crime for a concubine to commit suicide, which will implicate her surviving brothers and sisters. She dares not and does not want to live.

I could hear Yuling's urgent plea in my ears.

She seemed to recall the past when she had made a mistake and there was a young man who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy for her.

Her phoenix eyes moved slightly and fell on Qi Siliao who was picking up food for Hu Luanfei. He loved her madly when he loved her, but he wouldn't even look at her when he didn't love her.

Qi Sili's black eyes narrowed and he threw the wine glass in front of the Queen. The fragments scratched the Queen's fair face. Everyone was terrified and knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"I have never deposed you, and you are still the queen of Daqian. Are you acting like this today because you are dissatisfied with my decision?"

The queen lowered her head even lower, raised the corners of her mouth, and gave a sarcastic smile, "You are the emperor, who dares to interfere with the emperor's decision?"
