He Tiantian: ...I was originally worried that Princess Qi would be suspicious if she saw her face.

Now it seems that her worries were in vain.

Not to mention that He Tiantian couldn't see the noble Princess Qi at all, but even if she did, Princess Qi was only concerned about her mother's condition, so she didn't have the heart to think too much.

Instead of wondering why a woman looks like you, you might as well do more to help your mother.

For example, ask to see the emperor and ask him to visit the eldest princess.

Emperor:...I don’t want to see Aunt Anle.

Because the emperor knew that if he went there at this time, his aunt would definitely hold his hand and "persuade" him to adopt him!

He doesn’t want to adopt!

His queen, concubines, and five or six young concubines were all pregnant.

In a few months, a baby will be born.

There are seven or eight pregnant women, even if there is only half the probability, there will still be three or four princes.

He will soon have his own son, why would he adopt someone else's son?

Not even my nephew or my benefactor’s aunt’s biological grandson!

Rather than rejecting my aunt in person, it would be better not to meet her to save everyone from embarrassment.

The emperor was not really heartless and refused to see his aunt for the last time.

The director of the Taiyuan Hospital is stationed at the princess's residence, and he reports on the condition of the eldest princess every day.

When it comes to the last lesson, the emperor will invite me to visit and see my aunt off for the last time!

Forget the rest for now.

Of course, the emperor could not directly refuse Princess Qi's request.

He is simply "sick"!

Prince Qi and his wife were disappointed again, but also had a faint expectation in their hearts.

If the emperor was seriously ill, he might adopt his son directly and then make his son the crown prince.

In this way, the eldest princess can rest in peace, and Prince Qi's palace can also get the honor and wealth they deserve.

However, this is just the best extravagant wish of Prince Qi and his wife.

The emperor was indeed ill, but not to the extent of lingering on his sick bed.

When people are recovering from illness, they can also summon the ministers of the political hall to discuss politics and handle some important government affairs.

But the eldest princess really couldn't afford to delay her, and she soon reached her deathbed.

The emperor dragged his sick body to the princess's mansion.

The eldest princess looked eagerly and wanted to say something, but she was too weak and could not even speak a complete sentence except for a few scattered words.

The emperor deliberately pretended to be stupid and only said nonsense like "Auntie, don't worry, you will definitely get better."

The eldest princess:......

I will never die with my eyes closed.

She breathed her last breath with concern for her daughter and grandchildren.

The emperor cried bitterly and held a grand funeral for the eldest princess.

Princess Qi's soul seemed to have followed the eldest princess. She survived the funeral in a daze and personally escorted her mother's coffin to the imperial mausoleum.

On the way back, Princess Qi slowly came to her senses and suddenly realized that her mother's funeral was considered a national mourning, but the queen and concubine seemed to have only made a few appearances.

There were no cries, no vigils, this, this...

"There's something weird! Something must have happened in the palace!"

All Princess Qi's sense came back, and she suddenly became vigilant.

But, it's too late.

She wanted to ask to see the queen, but was refused on the grounds of "observance of filial piety".

Princess Qi used nails buried in the palace to investigate, but found no news.

On the contrary, at the back door of the palace, the corpses of many eunuchs and maids who had been killed were quietly thrown out.

In addition, the queen also released many elderly maids and eunuchs on the pretext of praying for the eldest princess.

Among them, there are naturally the connections established by the eldest princess, Princess Qi and her daughter over the years.

"Your Majesty, things are not going well! Something big must have happened in the palace!"

Without the eyeliner, Princess Qi really had a dark eye on the palace, and the uneasiness in her heart became more intense.

In fact, not only Princess Qi, but also King Qi also had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Not to mention anything else, only the emperor's attitude towards him has changed.

It can't be said that the emperor's brother suddenly ignored him, but he didn't seem to be as indulgent towards him as he was in the past.

After the Spring Festival, there were great changes in the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, and several officials in the Qi Prince's camp were promoted and demoted openly and covertly.

This, is this a plan to suppress Prince Qi's Mansion?

It shouldn’t be!

King Qi is the emperor's younger brother. The emperor has no children, so he still needs his adopted nephew to inherit the throne.

Not to mention that Prince Qi and his wife were secretly surprised and suspicious, even the courtiers were a little confused.

But, soon, the answer was revealed——

After six months, the sound of babies crying could be heard in the palace.

The queen gives birth to a son.

Before the courtiers, who were shocked by the news, could react, news came one after another from the palace:

Concubine Shu gave birth to a second princess;

A certain Zhaoyi gave birth to a second prince;

A certain man gave birth to a third prince;

The imperial concubine gave birth to a daughter;

A certain showgirl...

For two or three months in a row, there was constant good news in the palace.

Either a prince or a princess.

The King of Qi and his courtiers were completely deceived.

In just three months, the emperor who originally had only one sick princess suddenly had four sons and three princesses!

The eldest son is still the legitimate eldest son of the middle palace, the proper eldest son, and the most orthodox heir!

Ma:...How is that possible!

The emperor is almost infertile. How could so many children be born?

who is it?

Who is it?!

By this time, Ma no longer doubted the "butterfly effect".

This is not a change that a small person like her can cause.

But something happened somewhere she didn't know about.

For example, someone cured the emperor's infertility.

In fact, it was not just Mr. Ma who was so suspicious. Even Prince Qi and his wife, who were about to collapse, also wanted to know the reason.

However, the emperor was well hidden, and without the greatest help from the eldest princess, it would be impossible for the Qi Palace to investigate the emperor!

However, the emperor did not leave everyone wondering for too long.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor found an excuse to confer the title of Prince of Dongchang to the Prince of Dongchang County, and his two legitimate daughters also had to be granted the title of County Princess.

Among them was Wei, the second young lady of the Nanning Hou Mansion who was already married!

"It's him! Prince Dongchang! He's the one who did it secretly!"

King Qi was so hateful. He never took this half-brother seriously. He didn't expect that he would secretly give him such a heavy blow.

On Ma's side, there is no suspicion about Wei.

The plot seemed to have collapsed, things were seriously out of control, and Ma's mentality was also a bit broken.
