Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 299 Alliance
"Then I can't leave. I'm already here. If I turn back halfway, people might accuse me of bullying my concubine and seducing my master so much that he doesn't even bother to come to the banquet." She couldn't leave now. If she left, her play would be in vain.

It was within her expectation that she would summon the imperial physician to take her pulse. Even if she did not take the initiative, Chu Yu would inevitably instigate discord between them in the future. It would be better for her to take the initiative and let everyone present witness it with their own eyes to confirm the fact that she was pregnant.

If something goes wrong at the banquet, Chu Yu won't be able to deny it...

"But your body..."

"It's okay." Xu Ruqing naturally untied his hand, "If Your Majesty really cares about me, just let me do what I want."

Su Yichen had always known that she was a person with her own opinions. Seeing her determined look, he stopped trying to persuade her.

The music and singing were in the air, and the dancer's stunning song brought the rhythm of the banquet to a climax.

The emperor and the people from the Prince of Wei's mansion were naturally sitting together. Only those who were close could hear the noise just now. After a few idle words, everyone forgot about it and continued to chat and laugh.

"Princess, please have some tea." A woman dressed in a maid's clothes came over with a wine pot. Because she was pregnant, she replaced the wine with tea.

He took the opportunity to slip a small note into Xu Ruqing's hand.

Xu Ruqing looked up when he heard the voice. It was Lika.

Lika nodded slightly as if to indicate, and then left.

She secretly read the note when no one was paying attention. She felt terrible after reading it.

Chu Yu... ate her own child.

She suddenly thought of Ouyang Bihua. She had suspected that there was something wrong with her memory. The recent changes in these two people were earth-shaking. It turned out that they were both relying on cannibalism to survive.

Xu Ruqing felt nauseous and couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Ugh..."

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Yichen asked hurriedly.

Xu Ruqing's hand holding the note turned slightly pale. She tried her best not to let anyone notice anything unusual. "It's nothing. Maybe I'm tired of eating. I'll just drink some tea to calm down."

"Your Highness Prince Wei, don't be nervous. Pregnancy is like this. Morning sickness is normal." Seeing this, Concubine Guo came over and wiped the tea stains from the corners of Xu Ruqing's mouth with a handkerchief. "This place is not far from my Peach Blossom Garden. If you can't stand the hustle and bustle, why don't you move to my place and rest for a while?"

Xu Ruqing met Concubine Shu's eyes, and after thinking for a while, she nodded: "Okay."

Su Yichen held her hand and wouldn't let her go, his eyes full of worry.

He was worried about leaving it to Concubine Shu.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am also a woman and I understand how Princess Wei feels right now. Don't worry. I will take good care of Princess Wei and send her back to you in one piece."

Since she didn't have the courage, Su Yichen had to let go.

Arriving at Taohuayuan, Concubine Guo sent away the servants in the house. "Concubine Shu, just say what you want to say."

Concubine Guo Shu smiled gently: "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. Tell me why you came to me."

"I know the maid who poured you tea. She is not from the palace. She is Lika, the one who was beaten to death in the Su family."

Concubine Guo Shu stopped beating around the bush and her expression became serious. "I also know that she used to serve Chu Yu, but was later bribed by you. There is also a man who acts as a spy beside Chu Yu and sends you messages every now and then."

"You know a lot." As expected, Xu Ruqing was not very surprised.

From the moment she intentionally or unintentionally pushed the whole thing forward at the banquet, Xu Ruqing knew that Concubine Shu must have other purposes.

"Not only that, I also know the secret of how Xianpin, Ouyang Bihua, and Chuyu stay young and beautiful. I don't know what magic Bai Yuesheng used to make them more and more beautiful, and Ouyang Bihua is becoming less and less like herself."

"Chu Yu's child is gone, so she wants to use this banquet to frame you and put you to death on the charge of murdering your offspring. Today, all the important people in the capital are here, including ministers and officials from the court. Regardless of whether you are punished in the end, it will not be a good thing for you and the Prince of Wei's Mansion if the news spreads among the nobles. It will shake the reputation of the Prince of Wei in the court."

Xu Ruqing's eyes were calm and peaceful. She knew the key points without Concubine Shu telling her, "The Hongmen Banquet is the usual foreplay before the royal family kills and burns people. It's naturally not that simple."

Concubine Guo Shu was a little anxious. Xu Ruqing was able to keep her composure even when the situation was urgent. "Princess Wei, I know you are not someone who will sit and wait for death. You must have come prepared today. What are you going to do?"

"Why should I tell you?" Xu Ruqing looked up at her. He had no habit of forming alliances.

"Because our goal is the same, we both want to find out who is behind this. You know my child..."

When Concubine Guo Shu said this, she subconsciously touched her belly and couldn't help choking up. "My child disappeared inexplicably the day after Ouyang Bihua met Bai Yuesheng. My people found out that she had to keep eating human flesh to maintain her beauty. She went from street to street and bought many premature babies. At first, I thought my child was killed by Ouyang Bihua. Later, I continued to investigate along this clue and found that my child was killed by Concubine Xian..."

"She has been confronting me for a long time, especially since Yuan'er has been very favored by the emperor in the past year. She feels that her position is threatened, so she has tried every means to harm me. Unfortunately, my child has not even been born yet, but he has become her dead soul..."

"You are also a mother, you can understand my reluctance, right?"

Xu Ruqing withdrew her gaze. She had always known about this.

At first, she was also curious about why Concubine Guo's child disappeared for no reason. There were no wounds on her lower abdomen, nor any signs of miscarriage. It was as if the child had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing suddenly.

Later, Ouyang Bihua's appearance changed drastically, and she began to pay attention to Bai Yuesheng, the man who was known as the best master in the capital. He had the ability to keep people young forever. Even Chu Yu had looked for him. She thought that he must have extraordinary abilities, and it was not impossible for him to make people lose their children silently.

What she didn't expect was that the Xu family was also involved.

"I just care about what benefits I can get from helping you?"

Concubine Guo Shu said: "The Queen Mother protects Chu Yu because she is interested in Gaochang's power and wants to win over Gaochang. The same is true for the Xu family. Otherwise, how could Xu Ruxian dare to do evil with only a small concubine position?"

"My goal is to make Xu Ruxian pay with blood, and your goal is to eliminate Chu Yu. It is inconvenient for you to move around without being in the palace, and the Queen Mother's power is blocking you everywhere. With me working for you from inside and outside, I will definitely make this happen without any loopholes."
