On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 823: 823: The Detestable Side

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: The Detestable Side

The Emperor couldn’t be bothered to speak and turned his head to signal Eunuch Ma beside him to speak.

Eunuch Ma stepped forward and roughly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Consort Xian’s smile faded as she reached out and held Zheng Liqi’s hand. Although she said nothing, it appeared to everyone that Consort Xian was comforting Zheng Liqi.

This action was seen by Prince Duan and his wife as Consort Xian supporting Princess Liang, making the couple feel uncertain.

Now that Consort Xian managed the harem, although she did not hold the title of Empress, she had real power.

Zheng Liqi, who had pondered a solution the entire way, suddenly reversed her hand to grip Consort Xian’s hand.

“Mother Consort, your child is already heartbroken from the miscarriage and doesn’t want the dical woman to examine . I hope Mother Consort can speak to Father Emperor for .”

Her voice was mournful, and tears rolled down, truly presenting a pitiable state.

Consort Xian felt disdain, but did not show it on her face.

She patted the back of Zheng Liqi’s hand with her other hand: “The Emperor has lost a grandson and wishes to ascertain the truth. This is his thoughtful intention as a grandfather. As a daughter-in-law of the Tian Family, Mother Consort knows that you understand reason and propriety. Now that things have reached this point, justice naturally needs to be sought.”

These words cald Zheng Liqi’s anxious heart, as she interpreted it as Consort Xian having bribed the dical woman, and she would help her seek justice no matter what.

This made Prince Duan and his wife even more apprehensive.

Consort Xian subtly withdrew her hand from Zheng Liqi’s grip and instructed the eunuchs carrying Zheng Liqi to take her to the guest room in the side hall.

With just a turn of the head, Consort Xian saw her own son, Ye Zhengmo.

Ye Zhengmo frowned and shook his head slightly.

Consort Xian slightly raised her eyebrows and loudly instructed the two dical won: “Have a good look at what’s going on with Princess Liang.”

The dical won acknowledged and promptly went to the guest room in the side hall.

The rest of the people waited in the main hall of Chenglan Palace.

That brief exchange of glances between Consort Xian and her son Ye Zhengmo was not noticed by others, but Ye Yiheng saw it clearly.

This move actually made things easier for him.

Though he originally didn’t trust the dical won from the Imperial Hospital, now they seed trustworthy.

Only one cup of tea later, the two dical won returned to the main hall.

One of the dical won reported: “Reporting to the Emperor, no undeveloped fetus was found in Princess Liang’s abdon.”

The Emperor frowned: “What does this an? Make it clear!”

The other dical woman said: “No fetus was found and based on Princess Liang’s current bleeding, the actual miscarriage likely occurred yesterday or the day before.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Princess Duan almost cried with laughter, tightly gripping Prince Duan’s hand: “Your Highness, I am innocent!”

The Princess who can give him a pair of children must be right, Ye Zhenduan nodded: “I have always believed you!”

Suddenly thinking of sothing, Princess Duan released Ye Zhenduan’s hand, walked up to Leng Yu Yan, and respectfully curtseyed: “Many thanks to the Crown Princess Consort, this concubine expresses gratitude!”

Consort Xian shifted her gaze to Leng Yu Yan, wondering what today’s incident had to do with her?

She had no ti to ponder further as the Emperor pounded the table with a clenched fist and questioned Ye Zhenyu: “I recall that your concubine also miscarried earlier; now your Princess has miscarried too. Fourth, don’t you owe an explanation?”

Ye Zhenyu knelt and said: “Father Emperor, I thought Liqi miscarried today because she was pushed. I didn’t expect that woman even deceived !”

The truth was exposed; this man promptly shifted all the bla onto the woman.

Leng Yu Yan shook her head, suddenly feeling truly sorry for Zheng Liqi.

As the saying goes, ‘The one who deserves pity also has a point of hatred.’ In this case, it fits perfectly.

Ye Jiu said: “Fourth Brother should ask Fourth Sister-in-law properly why she said I gave her an illness? I’m just feeling unwell, where did the illness co from? Thinking back, it’s Fourth Sister-in-law who is ill. She miscarried early, seeking so benefit or to fra soone. In any case, she’s scheming!”

The matter finally ca to light!

The princes and princesses invited to Prince Liang Mansion began discussing.

Soon everyone reached the sa conclusion: everyone invited to Prince Liang Mansion today was a target of Zheng Liqi’s sche.

Consensus reached, everyone asked the Emperor: “Please, Father Emperor, give a fair handling!”

The noise in the main hall intermittently reached the side hall.

Lying in bed, Zheng Liqi couldn’t hear clearly but vaguely heard many people ntion Princess Liang and heard that she would be dealt with…

Her heart raced with panic, and she hurriedly put on shoes and got up.

When she returned to the main hall, the Emperor was staring at her with a face full of anger.

Ye Yuan considered that he had many children, and indeed many grandchildren, but most were grandsons and granddaughters through the female line.

As for grandsons and granddaughters through the male line, he only had one pair from the Fifth son.

With so many sons, yet no one able to give birth to even one boy or girl.

Uncertain why Zheng Liqi miscarried, today’s false accusation, whether from Zheng Liqi herself or Ye Zhenyu, this couple had evidently grasped his desire for grandchildren, hoping to use him, the Emperor, to remove those they disliked.

Power struggles among princes were the norm.

But using tactics on him, the Emperor, was intolerable!

Ye Yuan glanced at his sons present. Ye Zhenxian was already a eunuch, so there was no hope in him.

The Crown Prince was rumored to have a hidden ailnt before, though the rumor proved false, whether the Crown Prince could bear children was another matter.

The Seventh Ye Zhengmo had a backyard full of won, willing and unwilling alike, yet hadn’t produced even a fart from him.

The Eighth hadn’t reached adulthood, and the younger princes were too young and thus set aside for now.

Thus, the capable of bearing heirs seed only the Fifth Ye Zhenduan and the Fourth Ye Zhenyu.

Though the Fourth hadn’t yet had any children, at least two won had been pregnant by him.

After mulling over this, he said loudly: “The Fifth couple was indeed wronged today, Princess Duan suffered great injustice. Later, I’ll have soone send so items to Prince Duan Mansion.”

Prince Duan and his wife imdiately kowtowed in gratitude: “Thank you, Father Emperor, for your discernnt!”

Addressing the Tian Family’s issues of progeny, having only the Fifth capable isn’t enough, it needs the Fourth added for assurance.

Ye Yuan didn’t want to delve deeper into what role Ye Zhenyu played in today’s false accusation, only solemnly stated: “The Fourth’s failure to manage his Princess properly, starting today, you’ll carefully reflect at the mansion. Princess Liang, Mrs. Zheng, sched and accused others at the banquet. Considering your miscarriage and noble birth, I’ll demote you to concubine. From today, you’ll reflect at the mansion along with the Fourth.”

Ye Zhenyu kowtowed: “Thank you, Father Emperor!”

With Zheng Liqi demoted to concubine, she lost the identity of the Tian Family’s daughter-in-law and could no longer address herself as “child” before the Emperor.

“Thank you, Emperor!”

She knelt weakly, and the next mont, her entire body collapsed to the ground.

“Consort Xian, you should take charge of the Prince Liang Mansion’s affairs.”

The Emperor coldly left this sentence, flicked his sleeves, and departed with the support of Eunuch Ma.

Consort Xian bowed her head and agreed.

Seeing Zheng Liqi supported and her eyes closed yet still pretending to be in pain, Princess Duan couldn’t help but say in exasperation: “Really knows how to faint at the right mont.”

Her voice was low, but Leng Yu Yan still heard it.

“Fifth Sister-in-law must be starving. Hurry back to the mansion for dinner.”
