Chapter 298 Fetal Insufflation
"In terms of deeds and heart, Qing'er has never done anything wrong to me. As for those rumors outside, the Queen Mother has lived to an old age and must know the truth of not distinguishing paper mulberry leaves from leaves."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly. She not only couldn't stand Su Yichen's arrogance, but also couldn't stand the way he doted on Xu Ruqing.

This made her think of the old King Wei. When the old King Wei was alive, he also doted on Jiang. He was really just like his father, both of them were infatuated.

"Do you think I'll hurt you? Or her?"

Su Yichen didn't want to waste time talking to them. He just wanted to take her Qing'er away from this place of trouble and not let her be negatively affected. "The Queen Mother said she would not harm me, but in fact, she has stirred up a lot of trouble. The friendship between the late emperor and my late father was so deep that I don't care about the past. If the Queen Mother continues to make trouble and slander Qing'er for having two hearts towards me, I don't mind discussing with the Emperor and the old ministers whether the Queen Mother was really loyal to the late emperor back then."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes, as if he could see through the ugliness and filth behind her soul: "Do you really think you have done it perfectly?"

The Queen Mother got goose bumps all over her body and her round, almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly. She knew what Su Yichen was referring to.

How dare he threaten her!
"Su Yichen, don't take advantage of the fact that our Su family is the only royal family outside the family recognized by the late emperor to boss me around! Don't forget that people in the world today are surnamed Long, not Su. It's not your turn to tell me what to do!"

She was so desperate that she didn't even care about her image. She looked like a shrew with her eyes wide open: "As long as Long Fei is still the emperor, you will still be his subject. There is a huge difference between the emperor and the subject. It's not impossible to make an exception and depose you as the prince."

"Okay, I'll wait with my eyes wide open." Unexpectedly, Su Yichen's tone was calm and he didn't take the Queen Mother's threat seriously at all: "I'm also very curious, Queen Mother, if that day really comes, will you still have the confidence to talk to me like you do now?"

"You!" The Queen Mother felt dizzy as her blood and energy surged, and then she felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat.

Although Emperor Yan Qian was very afraid of the existence of Prince Wei's Mansion, he knew in his heart that now was not the time to offend Su Yichen.

The old Prince of Wei passed away earlier than the late emperor. When the late emperor was still alive, Su Yichen had already been helping with state affairs. At that time, Emperor Yan Qian was thirty-five years old and had nothing to do, while Su Yichen was only fourteen or fifteen years old and had already gained great popularity.

The late emperor looked down on his incompetent son from the bottom of his heart. Emperor Yan Qian was not his preferred choice for the crown prince. Later, he was able to reap the benefits and ascend the throne smoothly thanks to the strong power of the empress dowager. She killed her brothers and sisters step by step, which led to his current situation.

The abolition of Su Yichen would certainly cause demoralization, and the first to be affected would be the imperial court. The Su family controlled two-thirds of the military power of the entire Dongyuan. If the Su family's army was not stationed in the four borders of the east, west, south and north, it would be a disaster for Dongyuan. It is not impossible for him to revolt at that time. The army trained by the palace is far less powerful than the Su family. With only one-third of the military power of the Zhennan Palace, even with the weaklings in the palace, there is no chance of winning.

When everyone was afraid to speak and couldn't help gossiping and whispering, Emperor Yan Qian had to step out to break the situation and ease the atmosphere. "The Queen Mother is unwell and her emotions are unstable. Why don't you help her down and let her rest."

Seeing this, the two maids helped the empress dowager down from the left and right.

Emperor Yan Qian had a flattering smile on his face, and his rough beard moved with the rhythm of his speech: "Just now, my mother said that she wanted to abolish you. It was completely a woman's opinion. She was instigated by Chu Yu to make things difficult for Princess Wei. For the sake of her being my biological mother, Yichen, don't bear it in your heart."

"Your Majesty is the ruler, whatever he says is what it is."

Emperor Yan Qian paused for a moment, but soon recovered. "It doesn't matter who this banquet is for. They are all the King of Wei's people. No matter Chu Yu or the Queen of Wei, whoever takes the lead will win glory for the King of Wei. Chu Yu, don't be so petty. Besides, when have I ever treated you badly in this palace? Is it necessary to fight for such a small profit?"

Chu Yu was dissatisfied, and she couldn't swallow this anger. "Your Majesty, even the Queen Mother can see that Xu Ruqing has bad intentions, how can you..." "Okay, you don't have to say anything more. You are the one who made the mistake first. Apologize to the prince and princess quickly, and let this matter be over."

He then added: "Don't forget, the Prince of Wei's Mansion is your home. You will live there in the future. After all, you and the Princess of Wei are sisters. There is no obstacle that you can't overcome."

Chu Yu was angry but had to bow her head, and said unwillingly: "I'm sorry for offending you before, please forgive me, sister Princess..."

Xu Ruqing, who had been watching the situation quietly, said, "You can ruin my reputation with just one slander. Even the child in my belly will be cursed by you. Now you want to make up for the harm you have done to me with just one apology?"

Chu Yu frowned: "What else do you want?"

Xu Ruqing said nothing, but pretended to be in pain as if she had suffered a great injustice, and covered her stomach tightly with both hands: "It hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."

The most nervous person was Su Yichen. He quickly held her in his arms with concern and shouted, "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!"

After a while, Doctor Wan came over. This was the second time he was summoned today.

"The pulse is disordered and the uterine muscles are unstable. These are symptoms of a miscarriage."

Chu Yu suspected that she had heard it wrong. She thought Xu Ruqing was just pretending, but she didn't expect that she was really pregnant: "You mean she is really pregnant? Are you sure you didn't make a wrong diagnosis?"

Doctor Wan didn't know what had just happened in the Imperial Garden, so he said truthfully, "How can I fake the pregnancy? Besides, I am very sure about this, and I can't be wrong."

"The fetus is still young, and the first three months are the most critical. If you want to keep the baby, you must not get angry. The mood of the pregnant woman is very important."

After hearing this, Su Yichen felt worried but more happy.

He knew that the fertility soup would definitely work, and this child was here to save him.

"Chu Yu, did you hear that? If you speak rudely to Qing'er again in the future, I will hold you responsible if anything happens to her." Su Yichen had a shuddering expression. If looks could kill, Chu Yu would have been cut into pieces countless times.

Chu Yu was so angry that she could do nothing but suppress her anger.

Su Yichen coaxed, "Since you are weak, let's go back. We don't want this kind of banquet. When you are about to give birth, I will hold a more grand one for you."

"Do you also think that I said I was pregnant just to steal Chu Yu's limelight?"

Su Yichen quickly explained, his tone slightly flustered: "No, that's not what I meant."
