Chapter 306
"Hey, Ruirui, don't go!"
Concubine Cui wanted to go forward but was stopped.
Ruirui changed places and continued playing.
Looking at the child squatting on the ground, Concubine Cui, who was standing in the dark, gritted her teeth and said, "This little brat, forget it!"
The maidservant beside her had a pointed chin and hesitated to persuade her: "But master, you have waited for so long, and finally encountered such a good opportunity, plus you..."
The maid looked at her abdomen suggestively.
Concubine Cui couldn't help but cover her stomach.
The pointed-chin maid continued, "People in the palace have long known that Concubine Ji has fallen out of favor. Now, I don't know what method she used to use the child to please the princess.
What if the princess sees that the fourth young master is cute and registers the child under her name? Wouldn’t our fifth young master suffer in the future? "
Another maidservant looked a little confused and jumped out to object: "Master, let's not listen to her. After all, you are pregnant with the prince's son, and the prince will not ignore him in the future.
Even if Concubine He gives birth to a boy first, our young master will probably be ranked lower.
Although the more children you have, the less attention they will receive, they are still the prince's children after all."
The more children you have, the less attention the prince pays you.
Concubine Cui gently stroked her belly and made up her mind.
Looking at Concubine Cui who made the decision, the two maids secretly exchanged glances.
While the two maids were harassing Ruirui's two maids, Concubine Cui quickly stepped forward.
"Ouch!"
She fell to the ground, holding her stomach with both hands, with a look of pain.
Concubine Cui said in a sad and angry tone: "Fourth Master, even if you don't like me, there is no need to harm your brothers and sisters, right?"
The two maids saw the commotion and hurried forward, asking nervously, "Fourth Master, are you okay? What happened?"
Seeing this, Cui's two maids also came forward crying and shouting, "Master, Master, are you okay?"
"Ah, there's blood!"
"Oh my God, my master, my period hasn't come this month, and now I'm bleeding. Please call the palace doctor, please call the palace doctor!"
"Master, Master, wake up!"
"Master, Master, are you okay?"
The two maids were in a state of panic.
At this time, a deep and majestic voice sounded: "What's going on?"
Ruirui was stunned by the sudden scene in front of him. He had been squatting on the ground and had no idea how this man fell.
He looked up when he heard the voice and saw someone who looked familiar.
——Unlike other beautiful sisters in the yard, this person is said to be a man, and he came with another beautiful woman.
Ruirui thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Are you the prince?"
That's what it should be called, right?
On the other side, when Cui Shi Concubine's maid saw the newcomers, she started to cry and scream:
"Please, Your Majesty, please help. Our master just saw Young Master Ruirui here alone and wanted to come over to ask him, but he was pushed down by someone!"
Concubine Cui was in the arms of the pointed-chin maid, dying, and said weakly: "My lord, I don't know what's going on. My stomach... my stomach hurts so much."
Ning Lan, who was accompanying the prince, seemed very reluctant to see this and said softly:
"Your Highness, Concubine Cui is outspoken and may have offended the young master without paying attention."
"It's a pity for Concubine Cui's unborn baby..."
Ruirui didn’t know Concubine Cui, and because he was young, he had never been exposed to what a “fetus” was, but he knew that the young master was referring to him.
Explained loudly: "I don't know this strange person, and I don't know how she fell."
Ning Lan's eyes flashed, and her body trembled: "Young Master, don't be anxious. It's too scary for you to speak so suddenly."
The maid behind Ruirui became more and more anxious, and even said that the Fourth Young Master's words were scary. Does this mean he can't even speak?
Jinbao said quickly: "The Fourth Young Master didn't even meet Concubine Cui..."
Ning Lan asked directly: "Did you see it?"
Jinbao and Ruyi looked at each other and said, that’s not the case.
They were a little annoyed. If they had known this would happen, they would have asked someone to notify their master first.
"Why are you scaring them?"
Ruirui suddenly spoke. He spoke clearly and was not frightened by inexplicable people or things.
But he was pointing at Concubine Cui on the ground: "You two cried and shouted that you wanted to go and get the palace doctor, why didn't you go and get him?"
The pointed-chinned maid next to Concubine Cui asked with red eyes, "Fourth Master, you said it lightly, but why did you push our master?"
As she spoke, the pointed-chinned maid knelt down and kowtowed to King Zhao: "Please, my lord, save my master!"
Another square-headed maid also began to kowtow frantically: "Your Majesty, what has our master done wrong?
She just thought the Fourth Young Master was cute and wanted to say something, is that not okay?"
Concubine Cui also looked at the silent and superior Prince Zhao with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Highness, I was just thinking that when the Fourth Young Master was a child, I held him in my arms!"
Seeing the two people asking for help, Ruirui suddenly realized what was going on.
"So the prince is the court doctor. Then, prince, please come and save this concubine Cui. She is bleeding."
bleeding?
Concubine Cui's heart skipped a beat. This time she was really scared.
Is it possible that her child is going to leave her after only being here for a few days?
How is this possible?
There is no time to delay. We must quickly call the court doctor to save her child!
Concubine Cui looked anxiously at Ninglan who was accompanying King Zhao. Didn't they agree that they would not really hurt her child?
"My child, my child..."
Her eyes were full of hope, hoping that the court doctor would arrive as soon as possible.
Ninglan gave her a reassuring smile where no one else could see.
Do not worry!
It'll be okay.
Concubine Cui felt a little relieved.
Ninglan smiled even more widely, it would be better if the child was gone.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
If he were gone, her child in the future would be the princess's legitimate son, and no one would be able to match his glory.
Ninglan glanced lightly at Ruirui who was standing aside. So what if she was smart?
Who told you to approach the princess in an attempt to win her favor?
"Your Majesty, this concubine Cui is really pitiful. She just wanted to say a few words to the Fourth Young Master.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this? Poor her, she was forced to be separated from her child just after she became pregnant."
King Zhao glanced at Ruirui, who looked confused and immature, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
If we could take advantage of this opportunity to send the child out of the palace, wouldn't that be the most appropriate method?
What happened today will certainly not be uncommon in the future. If the child can be sent away far away, it will not only keep him away from disputes, but also change future events.
After making up his mind, King Zhao said after a pause: "I already know what happened just now. Although the child doesn't know the seriousness of the matter--"
