After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.
Chapter 652 Do you want to be a queen?
Hongxuan came out of the main room, and the emperor asked what was going on inside.
"Your Majesty, I have done my best."
As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Hou's screams came from inside again. Zhou Lihuai raised his eyebrows at Liu Yunxiang and hurried into the house.
The screams came one after another, as if she was starting to exert force.
Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan and saw that he stepped aside, lowered his head, and was reciting some scriptures. He didn't know whether he was praying or repenting.
As the sky darkened, Mrs. Hou's voice became weaker and weaker. Platters of blood and water were brought out, and the faces of the maidservants who came and went became more and more green, until a group of imperial doctors came out and knelt down in front of the emperor.
"I am incompetent, and Mrs. Hou has passed away."
The emperor frowned, "Where is the child? How is the child? But the little prince?"
The emperor doesn't care what happens to Mrs. Hou, he only wants a child.
Zhou Lihuai prostrated on the ground and said, "The little prince died when he was born."
The emperor stood up suddenly and his eyes widened, "So he was really the little prince...but he died in infancy."
The imperial doctors were all prostrate on the ground, and some of the timid ones were trembling, fearing that the emperor would convict them.
"Your Majesty, when Pindao went in, Mrs. Hou's face already had a lifeless look on her face. She had a stillborn fetus in her belly long before giving birth. That's why she was delayed these days and didn't give birth until a few days later." Hongxuan stepped forward and said.
The emperor's face turned livid, "According to what you mean, the child in her belly is indeed mine, but it has died long ago."
"Yes."
"Humph, now that he's dead, what else is there to say!"
The emperor flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, but he forgot that his feet were injured and almost fell.
The fourth prince wanted to step forward to help, but the emperor ignored him and waved to Yan Mu, "Old Qi, come here and help me."
Yan Mu changed his carelessness and responded. He also told Liu Yunxiang that she should go back to the palace first while he escorted the emperor back to the palace.
Yan Mu still carried the emperor on his back and carried him all the way out of the courtyard.
The rest of the matter was left to Shangguan Xu and others to handle. The emperor did not punish him, and the several imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shangguan Du Gong, please put the bodies of Mrs. Hou and the child in the hall first. The poor Taoist will save them." Hongxuan said to Shangguan Xu.
Shangguan Xu shook his head: "There's no need to bother. Let's inform the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion first. If the Marquis Mansion refuses to take over, we can just bury it in a mass grave."
Hongxuan pursed his lips, and then said: "In this case, adults and children will be equally resentful if they die."
At this point, he paused and said, "For the sake of the emperor's health, I still have to transcend."
Hongxuan said this, Shangguan Xu and others could no longer refuse, which would only cause a lot of trouble.
"When they are saved, Pindao will arrange for Mrs. Hou and the child to be buried."
Shangguan Xu smiled and said, "Then I'll bother Taoist Priest Hongxuan."
Since they had nothing to do here, Yan Mu and others withdrew, and the fourth prince also left.
Zhou Lihuai was still there and said to Liu Yunxiang: "It's getting dark now, and Lao Qi is taking the emperor back to the palace, so I'll take you back to the palace on his behalf."
Liu Yunxiang glanced at the door of the main room and saw Hongxuan standing there, arranging some matters, "Mrs. Hou died in childbirth?"
Zhou Lihuai was amused, "What else?"
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I just feel it's a pity."
"Mrs. Hou doesn't want to live, nor does she want her unborn child to live, but Taoist Hongxuan said something wrong."
"what?"
"The fetus was not stillborn in Mrs. Hou's belly. There was still fetal movement during delivery. It seems that she was unable to give birth and the baby was suffocated to death."
Liu Yunxiang was silent, Hong Xuan said this, probably because he wanted the emperor to believe that the child in Mrs. Hou's belly was his, so as not to let him have any other suspicions, or even involve the innocent Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
It was probably Mrs. Hou who begged him, and he agreed out of past friendship.
"Just wait a moment."
Liu Yunxiang gave Zhou Lihuai instructions and then walked towards Hongxuan.
"Customize the best coffin, dig a grave in the mountain behind the Taoist temple, and bury Madam Hou and the child together. As for the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, there is no need to notify them."
Hongxuan arranged it in an orderly manner, and the servants followed it one by one.
After Hongxuan finished explaining, Liu Yunxiang walked to him.
"Why didn't you notify the Marquis?" she asked.
Hongxuan sighed, "She said that even if the old lady took pity on her and asked her to be buried in the ancestral grave, she didn't want to. That place was a cage for her. She was in a cage during her lifetime, and she hoped to be freed after her death. She also said that I feel sorry for the child in my belly, I want to be buried with him, and I will accompany him whether it is the road to hell or the underworld."
"Mrs. Hou told you about your funeral?"
"Ah."
"It sounded like she was sure she was going to die."
Hongxuan turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang and took a deep look at her, "You know you like to refine some tonics. Although they can strengthen the body, the effect of prolonging life is just for boasting. Some of these tonics are for promoting blood circulation. I fed her them. One pill would be fine for ordinary people to eat, but she..."
Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "This will cause her to collapse."
"Yes, the bigger the portion, the better the effect will be."
"You killed her!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan in disbelief, "How could you kill a woman and a child? You are so cruel!"
Hongxuan sighed, "She said she was determined not to survive, and she didn't want this child to live like Yan Mu. It's too difficult and painful."
Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment. She thought of Yan Mu who just wiped away her resentment, put on a smile, and left with the emperor on her back...
"Yan Mu can meet you, but that child may not be so lucky."
Hongxuan turned around and sat on the steps, shook his head and smiled, "This is the last thing I can do for her."
Liu Yunxiang returned to the palace and waited for Yan Mu for a long time before returning.
She hurriedly stepped forward to help him take the cloak, "Look, your face is turning blue from the cold. Go and bake in front of the stove."
Yan Mu pulled her down and kissed her, "The emperor asked me to go to the study to serve you early in the morning."
Liu Yunxiang's thoughts turned around, "Is he considering whether to make you the crown prince?"
"Only me, not the Fourth Prince."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The third prince and the fourth prince are more stupid than the other. He knows it."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so eager to have another little prince, and I really have no choice in choosing Yan Mu.
Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang, lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck, "Do you want to be a queen?"
"what?"
"I got it for you to play with?"
Liu Yunxiang chuckled, "Okay, I'll try to see if it's fun."
The next few days will be nice and sunny every day.
Early that morning, Liu Yunxiang stayed in bed until almost noon. After lunch, she was playing in the yard with her two children when Su Rumeng came in a hurry.
"Third sister-in-law looks like this, but what happened?"
Liu Yunxiang clapped his hands, walked to Su Rumeng, and asked her worriedly.
Su Rumeng sighed, "It's not me who is in trouble, it's... it's the Fourth Imperial Concubine!"
"Your Majesty, I have done my best."
As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Hou's screams came from inside again. Zhou Lihuai raised his eyebrows at Liu Yunxiang and hurried into the house.
The screams came one after another, as if she was starting to exert force.
