A Timely Wife

The two of them returned to their rooms and when they changed their clothes and were about to go to bed, Cheng Dong suddenly asked, "Didn't the steward surnamed Liu say that the current emperor is going to have an heir? He also said that he is called Prince Ding." Now, why Zhang Guanshi said that the imperial concubine is pregnant, I always feel something is wrong."

"This matter is actually quite easy to understand. Regardless of what Guanshi Liu said, he is just the manager of the shop. The news he can get access to must not be the exact news from the palace. Instead, it may be when he talks to other people on weekdays. This is one of the inquiries. The second is that Prince Ding has four sons and six daughters. Among them, the eldest son was born to him by his side concubine. His side concubine and the current empress are sisters of the same mother. .

The queen was born in the Ding family, and the Ding family was the founding hero of the Great Chu. Since the establishment of the Great Chu, no matter which emperor it is, the Ding family's Marquis position has always been very stable. If it weren't for a daughter who became a queen but had no children, a The daughter became a prince's side concubine but raised the eldest son. It just so happens that the emperor has not had a prince in the past few decades, and the Ding family may have some thoughts. "Li Ruosong said lightly.

Chengdong frowned, and said: "The Ding family is not afraid that Prince Ding will become the emperor, but will destroy the Ding family or establish another prince or something. Prince Ding is not the only son who is the eldest son of the concubine. You must know that no matter who it is , would not wish to have a relative who is too powerful, and the higher the status, the less they want such a big obstacle."

"That's something that Prince Ding has to consider after becoming the emperor. At this stage, they must join forces. Prince Ding's son is born with a disability and cannot inherit the throne. The other two concubine's birth mothers are too poor, so they just want to fight." There is nothing to fight for, without the support of the mother clan, it is extremely difficult to fight for the throne." Li Ruosong explained.

"That's it, by the way, now that Ruo Shan has come out, isn't the princess in the palace gone for no reason?" Cheng Dong asked suddenly.

"Although Guanshi Zhang didn't go into details, if I'm not wrong, that princess is probably no longer alive." Li Ruosong continued after a moment of pondering: "I've never met this aunt, but I also understand that here At this time, if you want to completely dispel other people's suspicions, death is the best result."

"Then someone died instead of Ruo Shan?" Cheng Dong asked a little bit impatiently.

"You have to give up to get something. The child who replaces Ruoshan is likely to be a beggar. If there are family members, then all those who know about it will not be able to survive in this world." At this point, Li Ruosong paused and continued. Said: "It seems that we have to prepare in advance. I am afraid that there will be no peaceful days in the next few years."

Cheng Dong came to his senses, "I'm thinking, the one in the imperial concubine's stomach must be a boy? What if it's a girl?"

There is no way to say for sure that it is a boy or a girl. This place is not the modern age he lives in. You can tell whether it is a boy or a girl with a B-ultrasound scan. He felt that it should be impossible to detect the gender of a man and a woman so accurately just by feeling the pulse.

When Li Ruosong heard Cheng Dong's words, he slapped Cheng Dong's forehead with a smile, "Even if she gave birth to a daughter, the imperial concubine would make her a son, and the Ding family is not the only one who is bound to get that position."

Chengdong rubbed his forehead, rolled his eyes at Li Ruosong angrily, and said, "Yes, yes, you are the only one who is smart, and you are the only one who is amazing. You are sleepy and sleepy."

After finishing speaking, Chengdong turned over, facing inside, ready to sleep, but Li Ruosong didn't give Chengdong a chance to sleep well. Leaning into Cheng Dong's ear, he said, "Fu Lang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, um, shouldn't it be today, what does Fu Lang think?"

Chengdong's ears turned red, and he struggled and said, "Hey, aren't you tired at all? What time is it, don't you know that you have to get up early tomorrow? Hey, what are your hands doing, etc. , don't, uh."

Li Ruo let go and blocked Cheng Dong's refusal, but the dead of night could not be quiet.
