cold heart prince

Chapter 116

Keyi walked out of the Zhengqing Hall, only to see Yiyue walking in the corridor nervously.

"Aunt Yue?"

Keyi let out an exclamation, and Yiyue turned around when she heard the words, and happily ran to Keyi, looking up and down.

"Are you OK."

"I'm fine, thanks to King Jing for saving me." Thinking about it, it's really strange why two drops of blood would melt together: "Aunt Yue, why are you here?"

Yiyue said nothing, and glanced at Yu Jing behind Keyi, with an unnatural expression on her face, but Keyi was suspicious, but she didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Lin De walked up to the crowd and bowed: "The emperor invites Prince Wen and Prince Jing to the imperial study."

Wen Xiu and Yu Jing looked at each other, they would have guessed in their hearts that the emperor would summon them, Yu Jing walked up to Keyi and Yiyue, and said softly, "Let's go."

Ke Yi paused, didn't he only call King Wen and King Jing?Why do you want her to go with Aunt Yue, and seeing Aunt Yue's appearance, she seems to have known it long ago.Kong Ping couldn't think of anything, but Ke Yi followed behind them together with Yi Yue.

"See Your Majesty."

The four knelt down in front of the desk and called out in unison.

"There are no outsiders here, you are welcome." Yu Nuoyang walked down from the desk, came to them, and then looked at Yu Jing: "Uncle Emperor, what is going on here?"

His question was also a question in Wenxiu's heart.

"Your Majesty, I only learned about this matter from Mother Yue today."

For a moment, several people's eyes were all on Yiyue, waiting for her answer. Now, only she knows the whole truth.

Yiyue took a deep breath, and slowly narrated...

Miss is He Wanqing, the daughter of the governor of Jiangnan. Back then, before the master passed away, he entrusted her to the old prince to take care of her. It's a private decision for life, but the old princess doesn't like the young lady. Since the old prince died in the battle, he has become more and more mean to the young lady.

20 years ago--

Because of the strong objection of the old concubine, when Prince Jing was not at home, she and I were kicked out of the house. At that time, the young lady was pregnant with flesh and blood for three months, and the child was Prince Jing, yours.

Yiyue's eyes met Yu Jing's, and there was complaint in her words, and a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, complaining for the young lady who died young.Feeling guilty, Yu Jing lowered his head, but his heart ached.

No one blamed Yiyue for being rude, everyone quietly listened to her...

The young lady knelt outside the gate of the palace for a day and a night, trying to impress the old concubine's heart, but it was not easy. The old concubine hated the young lady for more than a day or two. How could it be possible that because of the young lady kneeling, she would express her thoughts to her.

The young lady did not eat or drink for a day and a night, even though she could bear it, the child in her belly could not be ignored. In the end, the young lady decided to leave first, give birth to the child, and then make a decision.

After leaving the palace, I realized how difficult it is to live. I wanted to find a house outside to settle down, but the money we brought was not enough, so we had to stay in the inn temporarily. Unexpectedly, it was only two months, and we didn’t even have the inn. Unable to stay, the lady and I were kicked out again.

When Yiyue thought of the situation at that time, she couldn't help feeling sad, and tears welled up in her eyes.

We had nowhere to go, so we could only rest in the ruined temple, and three meals a day were a problem, let alone buying supplements to make up for the young lady.Seeing that the money on my body decreased little by little, from one or two to one penny, and then to penniless.I went out every day looking for work, hoping to make even a little money, but it always didn't work out.

Once, I couldn't stand the hunger, and fainted on the side of the road. When I woke up, I found that I was not in the ruined temple, but in a wing room. Later, I realized that it was the eldest lady of Tong's mansion who passed by. saved me.Afterwards, the eldest lady heard my experience and felt very sympathetic. She said:
"Yiyue, if you want, you can come to be my maid, okay."

Hearing this, Yiyue knelt down and kowtowed gratefully: "Mrs. Xie, Yiyue is willing, Yiyue is willing." The restless heart that has been anxious for days finally fell to the ground. At least, Miss and I don't have to go hungry up.

The eldest lady not only brought me back to Tong's mansion, but also found a place for the young lady to live outside. Although it is small and small, I can always settle down, and it is not far from Tong's mansion, so it is very convenient for me to take care of it.Back then, Tong Qianming hadn't become the prime minister yet. Among the many wives, only the first and fourth wives were the kindest. They didn't like to be jealous. The two had similar temperaments and got along quite well. Because they were pregnant at the same time, their relationship was even closer.

Not long after I entered Tong's mansion, because the maid serving the fourth lady left Tong's mansion, the eldest lady asked me to serve the fourth lady.

until……

The night was shrouded in darkness, the sky suddenly poured down with thunder and lightning, the servant girl next to Da Furen suddenly found Yiyue, and said that Da Furen was in pain suddenly, and she was afraid she was about to give birth. She couldn't find anyone she could trust, so she had to come Ask her for help.

In a courtyard of Tong Mansion, there were bursts of shouts...

"Ma'am, if you hold back, Possession Wen will be here soon."

Yiyue stood beside the lady's bed anxiously, comforting her.

"Ah—Yi...Yiyue, it hurts so much, ah—" Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her hair was wet.But at this moment in the room, there is no servant in sight, and the son is out of the house to find the stable woman.

The eldest lady gave birth prematurely, half a month early, and everything happened so suddenly that people were in a hurry.

"what--"

Her hoarse, heart-piercing cry came out of the yard.

"Here we come, Mrs. Wen is here." After a while, Huan'er took Mrs. Wen into the room, brought hot water and scissors, and Yiyue stayed by the lady's side until the child was delivered.

Because of her weak body, the eldest lady has been in a coma since the delivery. It was not until the next morning that Tong Qianming dared to come after hearing the news, but he only took a look and then left, ordering them to call the doctor to come and have a look.

It can be seen that he doesn't care about his first wife, his favorite is the fourth wife, Yuan Xueyun.

At that time, Yuan Xueyun had just given birth to Miss San and she needed to take care of her. But fortunately, there was a nanny watching over Miss San and she had very little time, so she helped Huan'er to take care of the eldest lady.

However, in the afternoon of the second day, Huan'er hurriedly found Yiyue who was taking care of the still-awakened eldest lady in the room, with a pale face and ashes.

"What's the matter, Huaner?" Yiyue smelled something wrong and hurriedly asked.

Huan'er glanced at the woman on the bed first, and then pulled Yiyue aside: "It's not good, Miss Fourth has passed away."

"what?"

Yiyue stared and cleared her eyes, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Why did you suddenly die?"

"I don't know. The child suddenly stopped crying and making no fuss. I thought it was strange. After sniffing her breath, I found out... I found out that Miss Si is out of breath." Huan'er's voice was trembling, and one The little face was full of panic, and she was about to cry.

"What to do, Yiyue, what to do?"

Hearing it suddenly, Yiyue also panicked, and she was a little dazed.Suddenly, the person on the bed woke up and called out to their backs: "Huan'er, Yiyue."

Hearing this, the bodies of the two of them froze suddenly, and they turned around slowly, with unnatural expressions: "Ma'am."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you frowning?" The woman said weakly, her voice was as low as a mosquito.Suddenly, her heart tightened, and she spoke hastily, but she coughed violently: "cough...cough...isn't it, cough...my child..."

"No, no, Fourth Miss is fine." Before she could finish speaking, Yiyue hurriedly interrupted: "Fourth Madam, the doctor said you were born prematurely, so you shush, take a good rest, don't get too excited."

Hearing this, the woman's heart was relieved: "That's good, daughter, I want to see my daughter." After saying this, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained, and her chest was tight. It was difficult to breathe. After a long time, she seemed to realize something and smiled faintly.

Huan'er and Yiyue looked at each other in blank dismay, responded with a reply and then retreated.

"Yiyue, what should we do? Shall we take Miss Fourth's body to show to the eldest lady? The eldest lady is already so ill, I'm afraid she will...will..." Huan'er couldn't continue. , couldn't help crying.

Yiyue bit her lower lip tightly, as if she had made a big decision, she looked directly at Huan'er, gritted her teeth, and said: "You go and bury the fourth lady properly, I will go to the fourth lady's place first and bring the third lady here Let the lady see."

"Is it appropriate to do this?" Huan'er asked uneasily with lingering fear.

"It doesn't matter. Miss San was born only a few days ago. The eldest lady should not be able to tell. We will return after reading it. The time is short, so no one will find out."

The eldest lady is kind to her, she must help her fulfill her wish to see her daughter, she can't let the eldest lady be greatly irritated that she can't even see her own daughter.Worse.

Yiyue said to Yun Xiang'er that the eldest lady suddenly wanted to see Miss San. Yun Xiang'er didn't feel anything wrong, and thought that the eldest lady took good care of herself. Now that she has given birth, it is inconvenient for her to move, so she asks the child to replace her go and see.

Therefore, Yiyue carried the child in front of the eldest lady very smoothly. The eldest lady was so weak that she couldn't hold the child, so she put it beside her, on the inside of the bed, teasing the child with a loving face.

Yiyue and Huan'er who were on the side looked terrified and worried.

Not long after, Huan'er stepped forward, intending to take the child away from her side: "Ma'am, Fourth Miss should be nursed by the nanny."

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady slapped her hand away: "I am her own mother, so naturally I will feed the milk."

Huan'er was startled, and looked at Yiyue for help.

"Ma'am, you need to rest. The child is always tossing and tossing. I'm afraid I won't be able to let you rest well." Yiyue was also anxious. If she was found out after a long time, she would not be able to confess.

"I'm not afraid. If she's not by my side, I can't feel at ease." The woman's attitude is very firm. In fact, she knows in her heart that her time is running out. She hopes that her daughter can be with her in the last days. around.

She doesn't hate or complain, as long as the child is born safely, she is content, but she regrets not being able to see her grow up day by day.

For a while, Yiyue and Huan'er didn't know what to do.As a last resort, Yiyue went back and lied to Yun Xianger again, saying that the eldest lady wanted the third miss to stay with the fourth miss for a few more days, and she herself was not willing for the third miss to come back so soon, so the third miss might have to Come back a few days later.

Although she would be thinking about not seeing her daughter for a few days, Yun Xiang'er still didn't feel anything wrong and nodded in agreement.

Even so, Yiyue's heart was still in panic, up and down, but things often happened together. Someone told her that someone was looking for her outside. After she went out, she saw that it was the aunt who lived next door to the young lady, and she said , Miss is dying.

All of a sudden, Yiyue felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and stumbled to He Wanqing's side. At this time, she was already dying, and beside her lay a newborn child.

She held Yiyue's hand tightly, and looked at the child beside her: "Yiyue, child... I will leave the child to you, please...please take her to find her father, please...please... ..." After finishing speaking, her hands dropped heavily.

Yiyue broke down in tears, and the aunt who went to her before told her that the young lady died because of dystocia.With the help of that aunt, Yiyue quickly finished He Wanqing's funeral, and then returned to Tong's Mansion with her newborn child.

She thought, after the matter in Tong's mansion came to an end, she would take the little miss to find her father.When she returned to the house, she sneaked back from the backyard. She thought that it would be better for the child not to be discovered. She took the child back to her residence and kept it by her side for the time being. Without milk, Yiyue secretly went to the kitchen to milk it. some goat milk for the baby.To Yiyue's relief, the child is very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing, as if she knows about Yiyue's inconvenience.

It's been five days. I don't know if it's because of the goat's milk that the baby has grown stronger.

However, on this day, the eldest lady finally passed away. The doctor said that the eldest lady gave birth prematurely, and it was impossible to survive these days. It is a miracle that she can close her eyes today, and Yiyue understands that because the fourth lady is with her By her side, it was Miss Si who gave her the motivation to live.However, it still failed to save her life.

While grieving, Yiyue thought about taking the child back to Yuan Xueyun's side. After all, five days had passed, and no matter how long the days were, the Fourth Madam would ask about it sooner or later, and it would be difficult to explain at that time.

Unexpectedly, Tong Qianming suddenly appeared, followed by a nanny, who was carried away by the nanny and lay next to the eldest lady. It should be the child of the fourth lady, and Yiyue didn't even have a chance to touch it.

"Yiyue, what happened, how can I explain to the Fourth Madam now?" Huan'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, at a loss for what to do.

It's not just her, Yiyue is even more anxious, the disaster is caused by her, and she must bear it.

"I'm going to take the baby back secretly."

"But when the master asks about Miss Fourth's whereabouts, what should we say?"

"This..." Yiyue was at a loss for words for a moment, why didn't she think of this.

Suddenly, a flash came to her mind, and she thought of the young lady's daughter: "I think, I have a solution."

Yiyue hurriedly walked back to her residence, this may be the arrangement of God, Tong Qianming loves the Fourth Madam so much, she will definitely love her daughter, and the little miss may not be loved by the old princess when she goes back, miss, I'm sorry, sorry Yiyue can't do what you want.

The eldest lady is kind to her, and she doesn't want her to go uneasy under the nine springs, and the fourth lady has affection for her, and she doesn't want to make her sad.

Yiyue carried He Wanqing's daughter in front of Yun Xiang'er, she was still nervous that she would be seen staring at her. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen the child for a few days, or maybe it was because the child was too young, Yuan Xueyun didn't notice anything wrong with the child.

From then on, the daughter of He Wanqing and Prince Jing became the third miss of the Tong family, while Yun Xianger's real daughter became the fourth miss of the Tong family by accident.
