Chapter 785 Promise (3)
That’s right, Concubine Jin is going crazy now. She just got the news that the assassin of the prince has not been caught yet, but the emperor knows why the prince left the palace. The emperor was originally heartbroken because the prince was chopped to pieces, but when he heard that the prince was assassinated because he kept an actress outside and went out to have fun, he couldn’t help but feel very disappointed with him. In addition, the prince kicked the baby in the prince’s wife’s belly in a frenzy, which made the emperor even more dissatisfied with this person who always doted on his son.
These things were reported by the spy arranged by Concubine Jin to the emperor. After receiving this news, Concubine Jin, who was already very ill, became even worse, and her emotions also soared.
Originally, she was hoping that the Crown Princess would give birth to a son, and then, relying on the Emperor's love and pity for the Crown Prince, she would try to get the Emperor to make that child the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Princess's child was gone. A six-month-old seven-month-old male fetus, the grandson she had given all her hope to, was gone just like that. Not only that, now even the Emperor's pity for the Crown Prince has disappeared. What should she do? Who can she rely on in the future?
"Waste, what a waste, she can't even keep a child, what a coward!"
Jin Guifei lay on the rosewood couch with hollow carvings and inlaid treasures, panting and pounding the edge of the bed and cursing in pain. She was not cursing the Crown Prince who kicked her grandson away, but the Crown Princess whose child was kicked away.
At this moment, Concubine Jin really hated Helanxue, her daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been jealous and cried to her about the prince's raising of an actor and asked her to make the decision, she would never force her son to kill the actor, and she wouldn't have forced her son to leave the palace at night in disguise and be plotted against by traitors. In addition, the princess was proud of her noble status and insisted on giving birth to a legitimate eldest son before allowing the concubines in the mansion to have children. Therefore, although there were many concubines in the mansion, none of them were pregnant.
If there was a male child in the prince's mansion now, perhaps she could find a way to strike while the iron was hot and decide to establish the crown prince while the emperor still had a little pity for the prince. But now there is no one. When the prince's injury healed and gave birth to a son, I'm afraid the new prince would have been established long ago. What would they do?
Li Shanggong bent down, helped her calm down, and said carefully: "Your Highness, don't be too sad. The prince is still young. When he recovers, he will definitely have another child in the future!"
Jin Guifei said fiercely: "What's the use of having another child in the future? By the time they give birth to a son, the new prince will have been appointed long ago, and it will be too late to give birth..."
Li Shanggong said meaningfully: "Oh, yes, it would be great if Your Highness could have a prince, even if he is as old as King Jing or King Xin."
...
The panting stopped abruptly.
Concubine Jin slowly raised her disheveled head and looked at Li Shanggong with a dark look in her eyes. Li Shanggong hurriedly lowered her head and knelt on the ground and said, "I was too talkative at the moment. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
After kneeling for a long time, I heard Concubine Jin's cold voice: "Get up. You are also thinking about me. How can I blame you? It's just that this matter is too hasty. I have to think about it again."
Li Shanggong breathed a sigh of relief, carefully stood up from the ground, and helped Concubine Jin slowly lay down on the pillow and said softly: "My queen, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. You must adopt that gentleman under your name so that the emperor can confer him a title. Otherwise, he will not be grateful to you and will only care about his mother the most!" Concubine Jin narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Since I have raised him, I will not allow his biological mother to live. But, you see, who is better, Prince Xin or Prince Jing?"
