Chapter 1119: Chapter 1113 Empress Anxious
Jin Zijin looked at the letter and didn’t say anything, just casually put it into the drawer.
Xiang Chun, puzzled, mustered the courage to ask, “Where did she go? She always takes advantage of being the Crown Prince’s wife to deceive and be slippery, wouldn’t she have run off to play again?”
Xiang Chun didn’t know Lun Yu’s true identity; in her view, Lun Yu was just a wild girl without manners.
Jin Zijin replied indifferently, “She may not co back in the future, just tell people… she redeed herself and returned to her hotown.”
“Huh?” Xiang Chun looked completely baffled, but did not say anything further, gave a bow, and then left.
Gu Youyou ntioned to Miss Du that she had decided to move with Jin Zijin to another courtyard.
After all, the residence was large enough, with plenty of courtyards for them to live in.
Miss Du naturally felt that it was inappropriate, saying, “How could I let you, the hosts, move places? I should be the one moving instead.”
Gu Youyou said, “Why bother with so many rules? To , your safety is more important. Tomorrow, I will find two craftsn to co, and say that the house needs so repairs. Oh, right, change the windows of the study room to glass ones.”
Although Miss Du still felt that this action was inappropriate, Gu Youyou insisted, and she could only comply with her arrangent.
…
Two major events occurred in the Crown Prince Residence: one was the Crown Prince’s sudden and dusty return, and the other, their mistress, did not gain weight but was pregnant.
The child was already seven months old, yet no one knew about it.
It was deeply hidden, truly making people sigh endlessly.
This was a great joy, why hide it? Not disclosing this early, the reasons are clear to the discerning, but no one ntions them.
The Crown Prince was not in the capital, and she, a common woman with no background, naturally had to be cautious regarding such a significant matter of pregnancy.
The Empress hadn’t even gotten a grandchild yet.
anwhile, the Empress was furious.
“Gu Youyou is pregnant? She is a weakling, barely holding onto her own life, and now she is pregnant? Mdm. Li, such a big matter, why has no one inford ? Was nurturing them all in vain?”
The Empress was so angry that she smashed her favorite glazed vase.
Now, she gets irritated whenever she sees glaze.
Mdm. Li, who was usually very composed, could not maintain her composure this ti.
She said, “Empress, Gu Youyou herself is a doctor, she was pregnant and did not seek pulse diagnosis, and now that the weather is cooler, she always wraps herself like a rice dumpling when she goes out, everyone thought she gained weight because a hen flew into a phoenix nest and ate well, no one suspected she was pregnant.”
“With so many people watching, didn’t anyone notice?” the Empress threw a stack of papers into the furnace, all reports sent back by her spies.
All trivial matters, not a single spy hit the mark.
Mdm. Li wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, “Gu Youyou hid it very tightly, she even went to Xiguang Residence a few days ago, with so many people watching, yet no one noticed her pregnancy.”
And it’s been seven months, the child could survive if born.
The Empress knew too, just thought she had underestimated Gu Youyou. She had even summoned her to the palace before, and hadn’t noticed her pregnancy.
This woman was truly a thorn in her heart, one that must be removed for relief.
“What now? Even Gu Youyou, that weakling, is pregnant, and there’s still no news from King Jin’s place. The Emperor is getting older, this palace has fought for a lifeti, surely it cannot lose to them because King Jin might be infertile. Mdm. Li, you have been by my side for decades, the longest one, and the one I trust most, you know how heartbroken and unwilling I am…”
