Chapter 132 Sun went crazy after giving birth

At this time, it was the Palace of the Prince of Han.

Zhu Zhanqi paced back and forth outside the door, surrounded by the anxious figures of maids and old women passing by.

Zhu Zhanqi couldn't help but pull out a maid and ask, "How is the queen?"

"Don't worry for now, Your Highness. The Concubine's fetus was in an abnormal position just now. The doctor has already given her acupuncture and the position has been corrected now."

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Zhanqi finally felt relieved after hearing this.

When the concubine gave birth, it was inconvenient for the Princess of Han to come in person. However, when she heard that the situation was not very good, she still sent someone to watch.

"Your Highness, the princess sent me to ask how Concubine Sun is doing now?"

"It was a difficult birth just now, but now it's out of danger, but the baby hasn't been born yet."

"I understand. The princess asked me to tell Your Highness that women have never given birth so quickly since ancient times. Your Highness should not be too anxious."

"Your Highness understands."

The maid went to report to the Princess of Han, and the Crown Prince's wife was also nearby.

"It seems that the situation has improved. Mother can rest assured now." said the Crown Princess.

"I'm glad you're alright. Fortunately, His Majesty only let Zhanhe go with him this time, and didn't let Xiaoqi go with him."

"Your Majesty must have taken into consideration that Sister Sun is about to give birth."

"That's right. Let's go and see if the prince has returned. This is the first child in the mansion. May the Buddha bless everything to go well." Princess Han prayed.

"Don't worry, mother. Sister Sun is a blessed woman and will give birth to the baby safely." The Crown Prince's wife said.

"hope so."

After returning to the palace, Hu Shanxiang first went back to Qingyun Hall to change her clothes.

"What's wrong with you, sister? Why are you injured?" Cao Wanyi and Chu Xuanying came to find her and were surprised to see the wound on her forehead.

"There was a little accident. I accidentally bumped into something. It's nothing serious."

"Sister, do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look again?" Cao Wanyi asked.

"It's just a minor skin injury. It's already been treated. There's no need to make such a fuss. What's the matter with you coming here?" Hu Shanxiang saw the two of them coming here together and thought that there must be something going on.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. Are you going out, Your Majesty?" Cao Wanyi looked at Hu Shanxiang's actions.

"I just came back from the palace. I haven't returned the palace badge I got from the Imperial Concubine yet. I'm about to go to the Yikun Palace."

"Since Your Majesty is busy, we won't disturb you. Your Majesty, please go and do your work. We will take our leave now." Cao Wanyi and Chu Xuanying bowed to her and said goodbye.

"It's really okay." Hu Shanxiang was afraid that they might have something wrong and didn't tell her.

"It's really okay."

"That's fine." Hu Shanxiang then went to Yiku Palace with peace of mind.

On the way back, Chu Xuanying muttered, "I wanted to talk to the queen."

"If I want to talk to the queen, I can go there anytime. There is no rush now."

"That's true. Now that His Highness is not in the palace, he has more opportunities to visit Her Majesty." Chu Xuanying said after thinking for a while.

"Speaking of which, I've always found it very strange. You seem to have always been afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why is that?" This matter has always puzzled Cao Wanyi. Chu Xuanying has an eccentric personality, but she particularly doesn't like to have anything to do with Zhu Zhanji.

"This, how should I put it? I can't explain it clearly. I'm just scared from the bottom of my heart. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not interested in me. This is the happiest thing for me. Sister, you have always been smart. You said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me, so why did he choose me to stay in the palace?" Speaking of this, Chu Xuanying was also very puzzled.

"Maybe you're cuter?"

"Ah?" Because she's cute, what does that mean.

Cao Wanyi recalled what Zhu Zhanji said to her the night before he went to Jining.

"Do you know why I chose you two?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Cao Wanyi shook her head and said, "I am stupid and don't know."

"If you are stupid, there will be few smart people in this world." Zhu Zhanji looked at her meaningfully. "Among all the concubines, the others want to be selected, but you and Chu are the only ones who can't wait to leave the palace, so you two are the best choice."

"Don't you understand, your servant?" Cao Wanyi became more and more confused the more she listened.

"To put it simply, I need to find an assistant for the future Crown Princess. You are very smart and can handle affairs for the Crown Princess in the future."

"Your Highness wants to find someone capable and much smarter than this humble servant. Why..."

"There is another most important thing. Because you don't like me, Your Highness. Even if those people are capable, they will compete with the Crown Prince's Consort for favor in the future. I am looking for helpers for the future Crown Prince's Consort, not making enemies."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will change in the future? You are His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. Who among all the women in the world doesn't want to marry you? How can you be sure that I will always be like this?"

"I believe you won't." Zhu Zhanji would not do this without absolute certainty.

For the first time, Cao Wanyi saw trust in a person's eyes. Zhu Zhanji seemed to be able to see through her, as if he knew what was in her heart. If she had hesitated before whether she could keep her heart in the future, then now she had no doubts.

"I have another question. Since Your Highness is interested in my talent, then why did you choose Sister Chu?" Cao Wanyi really couldn't understand why Chu Xuanying was chosen.

"Well..." Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, "Just treat it as an extra happy fruit, so that the Crown Princess will have someone to chat with in the future."

Although Cao Wanyi felt that this statement was too far-fetched, she did not dare to ask Zhu Zhanji any further.

"Anything else you want to ask?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Your Highness, there is no more." Cao Wanyi shook her head.

"Since that's gone, I need your help with a few things now."

"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."

"Sister, sister."

"Well, what's wrong?" Cao Wanyi was lost in her memories.

"What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond?"

"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about the injury of the Crown Princess."

"Yes, how could you get injured just because you left the palace?"

Yikun Palace

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Best wishes to Her Majesty."

"Hurry up and get up. It's okay for you to get up later, kid. You just came back, right?"

"My granddaughter-in-law might forget it later, so she'd better come and return it first." Hu Shanxiang said as she stood up.

"Ouch, what's wrong with your forehead? Come here and let me take a look." Hu Shanxiang looked up, and Concubine Wang saw the wound on her head.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I just bumped into something accidentally on my way back. I've already applied medicine." Hu Shanxiang stepped forward and said.

"How can you be so careless?" Concubine Wang said with concern.

"Yes, granddaughter-in-law, please be more careful next time."

"Your Majesty, there's news from Prince Han's Palace that Concubine Sun has given birth." As the two were talking, a palace maid came to report.

"Oh, it's born, a boy or a girl." Concubine Wang asked immediately.

"The person who came to announce the good news said it was a girl."

"I understand. When the time comes, prepare the rewards as usual." Concubine Wang said calmly.

"Your Majesty?" Hu Shanxiang saw that Concubine Wang was a little disappointed.

"You don't know, Zhanqi has always wanted Sun to be his principal wife, and His Majesty has said that as long as Sun gives birth to a son, it will be granted. I'm afraid now."

"Zhanqi and the concubine are both young, so there is no need to rush." ​​Hu Shanxiang said.

"There's no rush to have a son, but Zhanqi can't have only a concubine without a principal wife. There can't be palace banquets without a principal wife, right? Zhanqi used to find all kinds of excuses to shirk, but I'm afraid he can't do that this year." Concubine Wang explained.

"I didn't expect this granddaughter-in-law." Hu Shanxiang understood after hearing what Concubine Wang said.

"Okay, forget about her. Remember not to get your wound wet."

"Yes."

"Why didn't Your Majesty explain today's incident to the Imperial Concubine? They were clearly people from the Prince of Han's Palace." Lingzhi felt sorry for her.

"Why would you bring up this trivial matter in front of the Imperial Concubine? Besides, the situation was urgent at the time. Sun's difficult labor was life-threatening. I didn't have a serious problem, so why make a big deal out of it?"

"My lady..."

"Okay, don't mention this anymore."

"Yes."

Han Palace, Sun Ruoji's room

"My Lady Concubine, you are awake."

"Am I... a boy?" Sun Ruoji fainted after giving birth. She didn't even have time to take a look at the baby, and didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.

The maids beside her didn't know how to respond for a moment. They knew how much the concubine wanted a boy, but...

"Why aren't you talking? Where's the child? Go and bring the child to me." Sun Ruoji almost got up when she saw no one responded.

"My Lady Concubine, you have just given birth. The doctor said you cannot move around. I will go and get the baby right away." The maid stopped her from moving around.

"Then go quickly."

"Yes."

The wet nurse brought the baby over and placed it next to her for Sun Ruoji to see. The baby had just been born and had not yet opened its eyes.

Sun Ruoji opened the swaddling clothes and took a look. His eyes instantly widened with an expression of disbelief: "How could this be? Didn't I give birth to a son? How could it be a girl? How could this be? Did you switch my children? Did you?" Sun Ruoji suddenly questioned like a madman.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the maid asked someone to call Zhu Zhanqi over.

"Ruoji, Ruoji, what happened to you?" Zhu Zhanqi was also shocked when he came over and saw the bed was a mess. Sun Ruoji pointed at the maid and shouted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you came at the right time. They are all bad people. They hid my son and said that I gave birth to a daughter."

"What are you talking about? I saw with my own eyes the daughter you gave birth to. Look how much our daughter looks like you."

"Your Highness, have you also been deceived by these people? I gave birth to a son." Sun Ruoji still didn't believe it. She worked so hard and was pregnant for ten months, but she gave birth to a daughter. What's the point of giving birth to a daughter? She still couldn't become the queen.

"No, it's her. It's because of her that I can't become the queen." Sun Ruoji said as she tried to grab her daughter and strangle her.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhanqi went over and took the child in his arms.

"What are you going to do? Are you crazy? This is your own daughter." Zhu Zhanqi didn't expect that she would actually... actually want to attack the child. It was simply unbelievable.
