Chapter 758: Your Majesty even suspects Consort Liang (130 million votes plus additional content)
Concubine Sun said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has asked someone to take good care of me, and the child is very well behaved."
"That's good."
Nangong Xuanyu suddenly fell silent.
Because everything needs to be compared to see the difference.
As a concubine who also took care of pregnant concubines, Nian Nian took good care of Concubine Sun and made her plump and beautiful, even requiring her to avoid certain foods to prevent her from getting too fat.
And under the care of Concubine Liang...
Although the reason was that Concubine Hao was frightened by Wu Changzai and had a miscarriage, which led to a series of subsequent events, if Concubine Liang had been as devoted to Concubine Hao as Nian Nian was to Concubine Sun, Concubine Hao and the Fifth Prince would have had a better ending.
Even though everyone said that it was not Concubine Liang's fault that Hao Bin had a premature birth, at this moment, Nangong Xuanyu still felt dissatisfied with Concubine Liang.
Of course, he did not show these emotions on his face, and nodded and said: "You should have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."
Concubine Sun nodded and said, "Yes."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After leaving Zhongcui Palace, Nangong Xuanyu's face darkened instantly, and he asked coldly, "Can you recruit Doctor Xu?"
Li Changde lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Xu has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for a few days, but he insisted that Concubine Hao's pregnancy was unstable and premature birth was normal. This incident was just an accident."
Nangong Xuanyu said: "Continue the trial!"
"By the way, check... whether he has any secret relationship with Concubine Liang."
Li Changde was shocked.
Over the years, if there is one person who has gained His Majesty's trust, Concubine Liang is one of them.
But now, Your Majesty even suspects Concubine Liang?
……
It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Shen Zhinian brought Fuqiu and Xiao Zhouzi, wearing a black cloak, and avoided the guards patrolling the harem all the way, and went to Shufangzhai.
As you enter Shufangzhai, you will see a figure standing behind the stage.
Hearing the footsteps, she quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, I greet you, Your Highness. May you be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
Shen Zhinian took off the hood of his cloak and said, "No need to be polite, get up."
Little Zhouzi consciously retreated to a dark place to keep watch.
Fuqiu still stood beside Shen Zhinian to accompany her.
Their alliance has never been made public, and Kang Guiren and Shen Zhinian have not met alone many times. Naturally, she knew that Concubine Chen had not asked her to meet here for no reason.
Concubine Kang asked straight to the point, "I wonder if Concubine Chen has any instructions for me to come here so late at night?"
Time was running out, so Shen Zhinian didn't waste any words: "You Ran, do you want to raise a child?"
Concubine Kang understood instantly that Shen Zhinian was talking about the fifth prince.
After all, Concubine Hao suffered hemorrhage after giving birth to the fifth prince, and almost everyone thought she would not survive, and they secretly speculated about the fate of the fifth prince.
But later, when Concubine Hao's health was no longer a problem, everyone gradually stopped worrying about it.
After all, the fifth prince’s biological mother is the queen of a palace, so how could anyone else raise him?
Hearing Shen Zhinian's question, Concubine Kang couldn't help but feel confused: "Concubine Chen, are you talking about the fifth prince? But isn't Concubine Hao still fine..."
Shen Zhinian's eyes darkened. She didn't explain the matter, but just said, "To be honest, it was Concubine Hao who asked me to find a suitable foster mother for the fifth prince. I thought of you, and I wonder if you are willing?"
Smart people often don't need to be too thorough when they speak.
Concubine Kang has understood, but she is afraid that Concubine Hao's true situation is not as optimistic as people say...
Otherwise it would be impossible that she was in such a hurry to entrust her son to the care of others when the fifth prince was only a few days old.
Concubine Kang suddenly became excited!
The emperor's heart is fickle, and no matter how favored the women in the harem are, they are no different from floating duckweed. Only the children are the support for the rest of their lives.
Which concubine in the palace doesn't want a child? Especially a prince!
Even if he didn't dare to think about that position, the prince would at least be a prince when he grew up, with his own fiefdom. At that time, as long as His Majesty showed mercy, he could take his mother to the fiefdom to live a free and happy life.
The fifth prince has just been born. What's the difference between bringing him back home to raise now and giving birth to one yourself?
Concubine Kang was so happy that her breathing quickened a bit: "My Lady Concubine Chen, to be honest, ever since Liu Ruyan killed my baby in my womb, I have dreamed of having another child..."
"But I know that I am not very favored, and the newcomers in the harem are better than the old ones. This wish is nothing but wishful thinking."
"Hearing you tell me this good news, I simply cannot believe that such a good thing will happen to me..."
Seeing Concubine Kang's excitement, Shen Zhinian sighed and said, "You Ran, don't be too happy too soon."
"The imperial physician said that the fifth prince was born prematurely and is not in good health. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't live past the age of twenty..."
The smile on Concubine Kang's face froze instantly.
It was not because his dream of enjoying a good life in his fiefdom was shattered, but because he felt sorry for the Fifth Prince and Concubine Hao.
How pitiful it would be for a child who is destined to not live past the age of twenty...
How distressed his mother must be facing such a fact...
Shen Zhinian said: "You can think about this matter carefully and reply to me when you have made up your mind. But... we don't have much time left."
"Empress Chen!"
Concubine Kang stopped Shen Zhinian who was about to leave and said, "I have made up my mind. I am willing!"
She admitted that she had her own selfish motives.
Even if the fifth prince didn't live past the age of twenty, he was still a prince after all. Whichever woman in the harem raised him would get more attention from His Majesty.
Your Majesty has been to her palace more often, and she might get pregnant with her own child.
Even if it is impossible, men born in the royal family usually have several children by the age of 20. Even if the fifth prince is gone in the future, her grandchildren can already be her support.
Concubine Kang didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea.
After all, which woman in the palace doesn't have selfish motives?
As long as she took good care of and raised the Fifth Prince while he was alive, she would be at peace with her conscience.
Shen Zhinian nodded: "I understand."
Concubine Kang was just overwhelmed by joy, and only then did she react: "My Lady Concubine Chen, only the head of a palace can raise an heir to the throne. I am just a concubine. How could His Majesty and the people in the palace agree to let me raise the fifth prince?"
Shen Zhinian asked back, "You Ran forgot how Wangpin came to power?"
Concubine Kang suddenly realized.
She did not ask Shen Zhinian how she could get the emperor to agree to this matter and make her a concubine.
Because she knew that since Concubine Chen said so, she must have some plan in mind.
On the way back, Concubine Kang's steps were still a little erratic...
She didn't do anything, so how could she become the mistress of a palace and the adoptive mother of the fifth prince?
