Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 298 Pregnant

Qin Muyan glanced at him sideways, "Why have you been insisting that I contact my royal uncle? Could it be that you've already made connections with him?"

"Let me tell you, I have the ambition to seize the throne, but I have no intention of killing my father. Do not try to lead me to become a patricidal rebellious son!"

Wei Gongming: "..."

“I have no doubt about your caution towards His Majesty, but think about it, will His Highness the Crown Prince tolerate you? If the Crown Prince is also involved with Prince Chun, you will be treated as a rebellious son even if you are not one.”

"?!!!"

Qin Muyan took a breath, wanting to scold him.

Wei Gongming gave Qin Muyan another bombshell: "Today, my wife entered the palace to pay her respects to all the ladies. I heard that the Crown Prince's concubine has not appeared in public for a long time."

Qin Muyan was momentarily surprised, not understanding why he brought up Fang Ziqing.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Wei Gongming could only put it more bluntly, "Madam Fang goes to the palace to accompany him every few days, and the women in the palace speculate that Consort Fang may be pregnant."

Qin Muyan clenched her fist instantly. "Just a concubine."

Wei Gongming said, "But Consort Fang's family is not ordinary. If she really gives birth to a son who will be favored by His Majesty..." Qin Muyan was completely devastated.

Qin Muyan remained silent, wondering when it had started and why nothing seemed to be going smoothly for him.

Could it be that he can only succeed by taking an unorthodox path?

"Why didn't I hear my mother mention this?" Consort Yu was also in the palace, but it was Wei Gongming who told him the news.

"Naturally, the matter of the Crown Prince's Palace will not be known to the Imperial Concubine. My mother-in-law has a good relationship with the ladies, so she knows more about it." Wei Gongming disliked Li Shu, but he trusted his own mother even less, and was very enthusiastic about Madam Li's side.

Qin Muyan pondered, and what he said did make sense. "So how would it be more appropriate to spread this news to the west?" He had no choice but to muster his courage and take the initiative to make contact.

"If Your Highness trusts me, then I will handle it," Wei Gongming said, offering his surrender.

Qin Muyan had no choice but to agree, "You must be careful not to let anyone misunderstand me!"

Although Wei Gongming readily agreed, he couldn't help but despise Qin Muyan for being cowardly.

In his past life, he was full of vigor and seemed not to be so narrow-minded and timid. How did he become so foolish in this life? Wei Gongming couldn't figure out the answer, so he could only do his best.

Because he has already chosen this path, and there is no turning back...

August 15th has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Qi Xiao received a letter from the west, delivered by Prince Chun.

He informed Emperor Qi Xiao that he wanted to return to the capital to visit his elder brother and hoped that the emperor would agree.

This news shocked almost the entire court.

Prince Chun, who has been away for over twenty years, is suddenly returning? Who knows how much shady business is involved?

Emperor Qi Xiao appeared cheerful, and even shed tears in the court, expressing his longing for his younger brother.

However, he also privately summoned several scholars and high-ranking officials to discuss whether to allow Prince Chun to enter the capital...

Liu Yuechu was spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Princess's residence at this time.

Princess Chen was a lively person and invited many people to celebrate together.

Liu Yuechu was four months pregnant, and her belly was slightly protruding.

Huang Wanwan was also invited to join the family reunion dinner.

After seeing her father off, she began to cause trouble for the Huang family. The Huang family has been in complete chaos lately, and rumors and gossip have spread throughout the capital!

Because Huang Wanwan completely let go.

She simplified things for those who wanted to be treated simply, and drove away others. Some of the maids were troublesome, but she completely abandoned all pretense of dignity and reputation, and like a shrew, she beat them with a board and drove them away.

"You two are really something. Before, everyone in the capital was talking about the beginning of the month, but now that things have calmed down a bit, you've become the talk of the town in teahouses and restaurants again." Lin Mengyu couldn't help but gloat.

Huang Wanwan was so sharp-tongued that neither the Huang family nor anyone else had anything good to say about her.

But Huang Wanwan didn't mind. "This is not enough. Now that there are many people in the mansion, the expenses are high. I hope to help Father get rid of two more concubines."

Lin Mengyu's eyes widened. "You actually did this?" Her mother and mother-in-law were already quite domineering, but they hadn't dared to drive away her father and father-in-law's concubines.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Father has already gone to the west, and he was already prepared to never come back. Why should I support these idle people?” Huang Wanwan had already calculated it on her fingers.

When her father left, he was accompanied by two concubines, so including Concubine Chun, there were a total of four concubines in the household.

After all, Aunt Chun had given birth to three unreliable children for my father. They couldn't be driven away, and it seemed like the struggle would continue until the very end. Of the other three, only one had left a child for my father, while the other two were childless and were accomplices of Aunt Chun.

Huang Wanwan and her younger brother had suffered a lot of ostracism and targeting from those two aunts before, and she would not let go of the opportunity to take revenge.

"Let them go, it's not a big deal. We can just give them more money to help them out. The capital will probably be in a bit of a predicament for a while, so we should try to resolve this as soon as possible." Liu Yuechu had just heard the news from Chen Zhongyao that Prince Chun was going to return to the capital.

Huang Wanwan pondered for a moment, "What you said is right. My father went, but Prince Chun wanted to return. I don't know if these two things are related."

"Something unusual must be going on. We should just assume there's something going on and prepare accordingly." Liu Yuechu was also extremely shocked.

She was overwhelmed with thoughts but didn't know where to begin to piece together the clues. She could only put aside her worries and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival first, waiting for Chen Zhongyao to return so she could ask him for advice in detail.

"Have you two heard the news? Ziqing is pregnant," Huang Wanwan asked. She was closer to Fang Ziqing before, and when she went to pay her respects to Madam Fang a while ago, Madam Fang secretly told her.

Liu Yuechu naturally shook her head. She hadn't been to the palace for a long time and now lived in Princess Chen's residence. The Empress wouldn't summon her often, which saved her from having to attend social events.

Lin Mengyu could not possibly know that she and Fang Ziqing were not very familiar with each other to begin with.

“If she can give birth to a son, her position in the Eastern Palace will be secure.” Liu Yuechu had seen her in the Eastern Palace and knew her difficulties.

Huang Wanwan sighed, "Giving birth peacefully is indeed not an easy thing. Now everyone is watching her, whether they are hoping for it or resenting it. She is a very sensitive person, and I don't know if she can withstand the pressure."

"Why don't we just say it's a daughter? If it's a little princess, no one will care about her anymore," Lin Mengyu suggested, offering a terrible idea.

“How can she be a daughter just because she says so? She’s no longer under my control.” Huang Wanwan was even more glad that she hadn’t followed her family’s arrangements and could choose her own marriage.

The thought immediately came to her, and she naturally thought of Liu Musheng.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked Liu Yuechu, "There's still no news from your elder brother? Could it be that he's just left you at the Princess's residence and then abandoned you?"
