Only the Crown Prince, the Queen and the Emperor knew about the news of Lianyi's pregnancy. After all, the fetus was not firmly seated, so it was not publicized to the outside world. It was just that the Imperial Doctor Liang traveled to the East Palace quite frequently.

The queen also thoughtfully sent a health-preserving nun to cooperate with Imperial Physician Liang to help Lianyi have a fetus. She started taking supplements with medicine and food to try her best to save the child.

The prince's concubine, Ruan Shi, sensed something was wrong. Due to a woman's sixth sense, she did not think that Lianyi was seriously ill as reported by the outside world.

Concubine Ruan spent a lot of money to bribe a sweeping maid in Lianyi's courtyard. She learned that the princess was bedridden during this period, but the maids who served her did not look sad. Instead, they were all in high spirits and acted more cautiously.

"Is she pregnant?"

Concubine Ruan murmured to herself.

Concubine Ruan wandered around her room for a long time, then took her personal maid to see Concubine Liu. The two were bitter enemies before, but now she felt that they needed to form an alliance.

Concubine Liu did not welcome Ruan's arrival. The two of them were just in love, so after the other party sat down, she asked straight to the point:

"Why does Sister Ruan have time to come to my yard today?"

"I didn't want to come, but since you and I are in the same situation, it would be better to come and tell you."

"what's up?"

Concubine Liu hated it the most, so she asked directly.

"The Crown Princess is pregnant!"

"What? Is this true?"

Concubine Liu asked immediately.

"Whether it's true or not, you can find out if you inquire about it. I don't believe you didn't put people in the Crown Princess's yard."

Concubine Ruan said sarcastically.

"Sister, I won't bother you. You came here to tell me this good news. I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions!"

They were both old rivals. How could she not know what the other party was thinking.

"Sister Liu still understands me. As for whether you have good intentions or not, I have to ask you whether you are willing to do it or not. I am not willing to do it anyway. Moreover, this is a good opportunity to get rid of the Crown Princess. It depends on whether you dare to take the gamble."

"Sister Ruan, be careful. What you think is your business. Don't try to drag me into this."

Concubine Liu immediately lowered her face and said displeasedly.

"Okay, I've told you the news anyway. It's up to you whether you want to join forces with me or not."

After Concubine Ruan finished speaking, she turned and left Concubine Liu's yard.

Concubine Liu was left sitting in the courtyard, her expression changing constantly. Finally, she summoned her personal maid, whispered a few instructions into her ear, and the maid hurried away with her skirt in hand.

While Ripple was eating cherries, Duoduo told his master the plot of the two concubines.

"You mean the two of them have formed an alliance?"

"Well, the two of them are already preparing to join forces in order to get rid of the child in your belly and get rid of you at the same time."

"I want them to live for two more days, and they are jumping up and down with joy. It's such an obvious act of handing over a knife. It would be rude if I didn't accept it."

"Master, what are you going to do? I'll help you!"

"Wait for them to take action, and then I will follow their plan."

After resting in bed for more than a month, Dr. Liang checked his pulse and said that the child in Lianyi's belly was stable. On a sunny day, Lianyi took people to pay his respects to the Queen.

She had been nursing her baby before, but now it was basically stable, so she naturally went to pay her respects. However, not far from the gate of the East Palace, the eunuch carrying the sedan fell down and threw Ripple, who was sitting in the sedan, out. Ripple was on the spot. He fainted and his body became red.

Grandma Sun and Lanzhi's faces turned pale. If the child in the Crown Princess's belly was torn apart, none of them, those who were waiting on her, would be able to escape.

Grandma Sun made a decision immediately:

"Lanzhi, go and ask for Dr. Liang now!"

"Yes!" Lanzhi replied with a white face, turned around and ran away.

"You two will carry the Crown Princess back to the palace."

"Yes!"

The ones who were named were two stalwart palace maids. They were the meat pads prepared by Grandma Sun for Ripple. They were the two people who had just timely padded them under Ripple's body.

"Call the guards, lock up all four of them, and wait for the prince to be punished."

Grandma Sun pointed at the four eunuchs carrying the sedan and said through gritted teeth.

"Mammy, we were wronged"

The eunuch who fell was already kneeling on the ground. After hearing what Grandma Sun said, he wanted to die. He really didn't mean it.

Unfortunately, no one listened to his explanation. The palace guards had already rushed over and took all four of them away.

"Go and report to the Crown Prince that something happened here, and ask the Crown Prince to arrange someone to take charge of the situation."

After issuing the last order, Grandma Sun turned around and rushed back to the East Palace.

Doctor Liang arrived first. Looking at the ripples on his face as white as paper and the blood-stained hem of his skirt, he immediately frowned and asked:

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine when you took your pulse in the morning?"

"The Crown Princess said she was going to pay her respects to the Queen after you left. As soon as she left the East Palace, the eunuch carrying the sedan fell down and threw the Crown Princess out."

Grandma Sun explained the reason clearly in a few words.

As soon as Dr. Liang heard this, he knew something was wrong. He immediately took out the pulse pillow and checked Lianyi's pulse. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. This was obviously a sign of miscarriage.

Lianyi woke up leisurely at this time. After looking around for a week, he landed on the face of Imperial Physician Liang, touched his belly and said feebly:

"Mr. Liang, please be sure to keep the fetus in my belly. This is the child that the prince has been waiting for for a long time."

"Prince Princess, please rest assured, I will do my best."

"Doctor Liang, don't worry about me, you must keep the child."

Ripple gave another instruction, and then fainted again.

Just what Lianyi said was heard by the prince who hurried over. He already knew the whole story from Lanzhi. He whispered to Dr. Liang in a low voice:

"You must keep the child, otherwise the ripples will not be able to bear it."

"I will try my best, but this is a three-part poison that will harm the mother's body, and the princess's body is already weak, so I'm afraid..."

"how?"

"I'm afraid the princess won't be able to survive the birth."

Imperial Physician Liang told the prince the speech he had prepared long ago.

The prince was silent for a while, then sighed hypocritically and said:

"Keeping the child is her only wish. I cannot let her down."

"Yes, I know what to do."

Imperial Physician Liang had long expected this answer, but he still felt that he was not worth it for the Crown Princess. Everyone was plotting against her, and she was the only one who cared about her child.

Dr. Liang wrote down a prescription, and the prince asked Quan Fu to get the medicine and brew it himself, and not to use someone else's hand.

When the prince left the bedroom, Grandma Sun knelt down at his feet with a plop and said with tears in her eyes:

"Your Highness, you must make the decision for the Crown Princess. Today is not an accident but a man-made disaster."

"Get up! You did a good job today. I can rest assured that you are with Lianyi. Now you only need to guard the crown princess. I will investigate the rest and give an explanation to Lianyi."

The prince's eyes narrowed. The other party chose to attack at this time. It was obvious that he was targeting his heir. This was something he would never allow.
