Chapter 261: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 07
Yun'er fell silent. Niu Hulu touched her lower abdomen and then looked at the packet of medicine on the table.
She is now more than two months pregnant. She could have endured it before she got pregnant, but now she can't at all.
She was not like the other women in the backyard, who were suppressed by the concubine and had no ambition at all.
She is ambitious. Why should she, as the wife of the emperor, be so superior while she is just a little princess?
She was born in the Manchu military banner, but the Manchu military banner was also divided into large families and small families. Her background was not as good as that of the wife, and princesses and concubines could not be promoted to wife, so even if the wife died, the most likely possibility was that the prince would marry another wife.
It would be fine if the newly married wife is easy to get along with, but if she is not, it would be a bad move.
Although the current wife is kind to the princesses, she is always unwilling in her heart.
Especially watching her firmly establish herself as the legitimate wife, the prince she gave birth to gradually grow up, and he showed intelligence from a young age.
Prince Honghui is the eldest legitimate son, and he always dominates over all the illegitimate sons.
She also wanted to have a child. She was suppressed by the concubine, and her child also wanted to live under the light of Prince Honghui.
Why.
The way for a woman in the backyard to survive and live well is, first, by being loved, and second, by having offspring.
Of course, the most important thing is offspring, so she pays special attention to this aspect.
Her menstrual period has always been regular, but it was delayed for a long time last month, and it was the same this month, so she thought she was pregnant.
So she asked the palace doctor to take her pulse, and sure enough, she was pregnant.
She did not let the court doctor tell the concubine, but found a reason, saying that she wanted to inform the concubine and the prince in person.
Then he gave a large sum of money to the court doctor.
She was confident that the court doctor would not tell anyone about the huge amount of money he had collected from her, but at the same time, she was also very angry. If she could not just let people go outside to hire a doctor, why would she have asked the court doctor for such a large sum of money?
But what Niuhulu didn't expect was that the court physician was the wife's man, and the court physician would not hide things in the backyard from the wife.
So of course Yu Ludai knew that Princess Nianhulu was pregnant.
She was not angry about this, but just felt that she was really stupid. How long did she think she could keep it a secret?
Several princesses in the backyard have been pregnant. Does she think she can keep it a secret?
You don't even know when your child was killed.
Since she didn't say anything, Yu Ludai would pretend not to know. If she died accidentally, it wouldn't be her fault.
When Niuhulu learned that she was pregnant, she was of course very happy, and at the same time she became more determined.
Since we can't get rid of Fu Jin, then we have to get rid of Prince Honghui.
Without Prince Honghui, Ulanara Yuludai must have been in great pain. Whenever she thought of her haggard and heartbroken face, Nianhulu felt very happy.
In this way, she had no one to rely on, and the poor Fu Jin, who had nothing, was no longer her opponent.
Without a legitimate son, the only one left in the mansion is Prince Hongshi, who looks stupid. Wouldn't that make her son stand out?
It never occurred to her that her child could be stupid.
She is so smart, how could her child be stupid.
Of course, she had thought that her baby would be a little princess this time, but it didn’t matter. If she could have one baby, she could have a second one. She believed that she could give birth to a prince.
So for the sake of her child, she had to take action.
Now that she was pregnant, the timing was just right. If it turned out that Prince Honghui was murdered by someone else, she could use the excuse that she was unwell and very weak to prevent the prince from suspecting her.
After all, who would believe that a pregnant person who is unwell would harm others?
She thought about starting with diet, but hadn't come up with a specific method yet. However, she didn't expect that Concubine De would help her.
Since she was able to climb up step by step from a bondservant family to the position of imperial concubine, Nianhulu knew that she was a thoughtful and extraordinary person.
Besides, Defei's people told her that if she took action, Defei would clean up the mess.
With the help of Concubine De, she no longer has any worries and she will find a suitable opportunity to give the drug.
Yu Ludai found out the real culprit and took action against Concubine De without much hesitation. Of course, she would not let Nianhulu go either. She took them down one by one.
The weather is getting colder now. Concubine De caught a cold last night and developed a high fever.
The people around her took good care of her and even called in a royal physician, but after a day, there was still no sign of her fever going down.
Although Yinzhen was somewhat unfamiliar with his biological mother, Concubine De, he still cared about her, so after learning about this, he immediately entered the palace.
After entering Yonghe Palace, he went to the main hall and saw his mother was still sleeping. He stayed with her for a while, asked the people in the hall to take good care of his mother, and then left the palace.
After returning to the mansion, Yinzhen went to the main courtyard.
In the past, when he came to the main courtyard, his wife would come to greet him, but what happened this time? Why didn’t he see his wife?
After asking the servants, Yinzhen went to the small Buddhist temple behind the main courtyard, only to see Fu Jin kneeling on a mat with a pious look on her face.
Yinzhen broke the silence at this time: "What is Fu Jin doing?"
Yu Ludai was startled by the sudden sound and looked at Yinzhen in surprise. Yu Ludai got up from the mat, twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, and replied: "I heard that my mother was ill, so I came to ask the Buddha to bless her with peace."
As she spoke, she was a little depressed: "I want to go to the palace to take care of my mother, but she has never liked me and won't let me go. But I am really worried about her, so I plan to pray for her in the Buddhist temple and copy scriptures in the next two days."
Yinzhen was relieved but also felt sorry for her hard work: "I know you are filial. You not only have to take care of Honghui, but also take care of the big and small things in the mansion. You don't have to worry about mother. Mother is fine. The imperial physician said that she will be fine in the next two days."
Yinzhen took her back to the main courtyard and asked: "How long have you been in the Buddhist temple today?"
Yu Ludai: "It won't be long, Lord Beile, don't worry."
Yinzhen felt more and more distressed for Fu Jin. He had asked about it when he came just now, and was told that Fu Jin had been kneeling in the Buddhist temple for the entire morning.
Fu Jin is such a good person, why doesn’t my mother like her?
After Yu Ludai's performance, Yinzhen not only did not blame Yu Ludai for going to the palace to take care of his mother, but he felt even more distressed for her.
At the same time, he trusted Fu Jin even more and felt that Fu Jin was a good person in every way.
Before, Song Gege's two little princesses died young, and Li Gege's two children also died young. Did he ever suspect Fu Jin? Yes, he did.
The imperial physician simply said that the baby died because of poor health, but he did not completely believe it and there was always a thorn in his heart.
But he couldn't question Fu Jin either. After all, Fu Jin was the housekeeper and was always thoughtful and had never made any mistakes. He couldn't open his mouth.
But over the years, he saw that Fu Jin was virtuous and generous, and always considered him in everything. Even though his mother didn't like Fu Jin, Fu Jin never blamed her and never made things difficult for him.
Now seeing her praying so sincerely for her mother, all doubts in his heart disappeared, replaced by respect and trust from the bottom of his heart.
