Chapter 761: The Past (continued)
Lin Jue smiled and said, "You have been stupid for three years since you were pregnant, you have really become stupid." The crown prince is going to be the emperor, do you need to talk about this benefit? Not to mention the power of the favored person's mother's family, the heirs born are also very likely to become the successors, do you think this is worth fighting? Why do you think the Queen Mother beat the mandarin ducks, broke up Concubine Rong and Lu Shilang, and forced Concubine Rong to marry the emperor? On the one hand, it is for the glory and power of her Wei family, and on the other hand, it is also a major event to fight with the Lu family for the subsequent succession to the throne. Concubine Mei's son succeeded to the throne as emperor or Concubine Rong's son succeeded to the throne as emperor, which is more in line with the queen mother's mind? Do you need me to explain this? The prince did not let his mother-in-law and Concubine Rong come and go, because the battle was easy to provoke fire. If it is thought that people are deliberately involved in these things, isn't that a big problem? At that time, the prince had just come out, was he still willing to get into trouble with these things? ”
The princess smiled and nodded: "Lin Jue can still see it clearly, that's what it is." ”
Guo Caiwei nodded, she also understood. However, she quickly looked at Lin Jue with disgust: "Hey, even if you understand people, you don't need to say that I've been stupid for three years, right?" I don't like to hear it. ”
Lin Jue smiled and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm quick to talk for a while, let's listen to my mother-in-law continue." ”
The princess smiled and watched the husband and wife arguing, and a wave of warmth swelled in her heart. When they were newly married, they and the prince were also good honey blenders and quarreled with each other. I don't know when I met with the prince, but I couldn't even say a word or two. It's not a snub, but they know each other well enough that they don't even need to say something. Maybe it's family affection.
“…… We didn't correspond much, Yourong wrote me a letter a month, and I replied to her a letter every two months. We recalled the things we played together when we were in the capital, and we said that we were interested in the fun things, and we didn't mention anything else. It wasn't until a letter in July that told me that she was more than five months pregnant, and I found out she was pregnant. ”
Lin Jue cheered up, he knew that he had finally reached the point. Wei Yourong is pregnant, who is this child? That's exactly what I've always wanted to know.
“…… Yourong is in a bad mood when she is pregnant, and I can see this from her letter. She was under a lot of pressure. In the letter, she said that the queen took her to the palace for a few days, and in those few days, the queen said a lot of things, and she was very confused and didn't know what to do. She said that the queen told her that this time she would give birth to a son no matter what, because the crown princess Yuan gave birth to a son, and the side concubine Lu gave birth to a son, and she must also give birth to a son. There is only one choice, which is to have a son, and there is no other choice. She said that she felt a lot of pressure, and she didn't know if it was a man or a woman in her belly, and the thought of giving birth to a girl would make her go crazy......" the princess said softly.
"Why is that?" The little county lord finally couldn't help but interject.
Lin Jue almost said that she was 'stupid for three years after pregnancy'. The truth is not the same as the previous one, if you give birth to a son, you will be the prince in the future, and you will have the power to fight for something. The woman in the harem palace, what is the fight to the end? It's not that the mother is expensive with the child, and it's not that the stomach is not competitive. Not only the royal family, but also ordinary people.
For Concubine Rong, both the Yuan family and the Lu family gave birth to sons, and if she did not give birth to a son, her value would plummet and she would withdraw from the competition. This was something that Empress Dowager Wei, who was still the queen at the time, could not tolerate. She herself is actually unacceptable. Maybe she didn't want to get involved, but the day she married Guo Chong, she had to participate in this competition. We must do our best to take the initiative. Because the fate of the defeated must be very tragic in the future.
“…… After September, Yourong's letter was broken, and I was very worried about her. In the wax moon, the emperor summoned the prince back to Beijing for a reunion. I couldn't rest assured of Yourong, and I couldn't help but hide from the prince to go to the prince's mansion to see her. The moment I saw Yourong, I couldn't believe my eyes. At that time, Yourong was close to labor, but her whole body was swollen and her condition was extremely poor. Because she was pregnant with a child, Lang Zhong didn't dare to use medicine casually, so she could only let her stay up like that. When she saw me hugging me and crying, she told me that she was afraid that she would not survive, and she wanted me to save her. I asked her what the hell was wrong? She said that she was pregnant with a girl in her belly, and more than a month ago, she secretly invited a miracle doctor in Yingtianfu who specialized in Ximai to call the pulse, and the miracle doctor said that ten percent of what she was pregnant with was a female baby. She didn't dare to tell outsiders that in front of the emperor and crown prince, she acted as if she was pregnant with a boy. She was most afraid of eating sour, but in order to cover up the fact that she was a girl in her stomach, she desperately ate sour things. Because people say 'sweet and sour girls', if you love sour, you are a son. In short, she made everyone think that she was pregnant with a boy, and she did not dare to tell them the truth. She was already going crazy, about to be driven crazy by herself, by the queen. ”
The princess breathed rapidly, and she seemed to return to the moment when she saw Wei Yourong, and saw the woman who was struggling on the bed, with only half a life left, and was about to go crazy and collapse. What a depressing and frightening scene. At that time, she almost escaped with her feet, but she really felt sorry for Wei Yourong. Although they are eight or nine years apart in age, they have similar personalities and similar spleens and stomachs. She is the only wealthy woman who can be called a close friend of the princess, she cherishes Wei Yourong very much, she is sad for her, and she feels sorry for her. But she didn't know what she could do, all she could do was hold her and cry with her.
"That'...... Can the Horn really know if it's a boy or a girl? Not so accurately. Lin Jue said dumbfoundedly.
"You don't understand, in the late stages of pregnancy, the child's pulse will be reflected in the mother's pulse. Experienced Lang Zhong can distinguish six or seven percent. If it is those miracle doctors who specialize in research, it is enough to conclude. Ying Tianfu's miracle doctor knows that his name is Xilaile, and he specializes in diagnosing people's pulses. Because many families know that if they are pregnant with a girl, they will have an abortion. He specializes in diagnosing men and women. The aborted child can clearly see whether it is male or female, so if he didn't have real skills and made a mistake, he would have been beaten to death long ago. He has never made a mistake in his life. He said that if it is a girl, it will be a girl. The princess explained softly.
Lin Jue was stunned and speechless, there are all kinds of strange people and strange things in this world, and Lin Jue is no longer as surprised as before. It makes no sense to measure the world we live in by those things of the afterlife. It's just that this person named Xilale is doing something like practicing medicine or murder? I am afraid that many of the baby girls he has identified have died. Maybe it's not his fault, but the stubborn disease of this patriarchal society that gives this kind of person the name of a miracle doctor.
The little county lord opened his mouth and scolded: "Such a miracle doctor is simply harmful. If I see him, I will smash his dog's head. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "If I see it, I will help you break his dog's head." ”
The little county lord looked at Lin Jue gratefully, and thought: Fortunately, my husband is not that kind of person, he said that it is the same whether I give birth to a boy or a girl, and he is the same joy.
The princess frowned and said, "You two don't talk nonsense, the divine doctor has already passed away." ”
Lin Jue and the little county lord suddenly realized that they were talking about seventeen years ago, and the divine doctor was long gone, but there was one less scourge.
"Mother-in-law, the situation has gotten so bad, have you found a way to help Concubine Rong?" Lin Jue asked.
The princess was silent for a moment, then continued: "What can I do, I don't know what to do about this kind of thing. I know that if she gives birth to a daughter, and others speak coldly, the queen will say something, she will really go crazy and die. I don't want her to die, I want to save her, but I can't think of a way. After returning home from the Prince's Mansion, I couldn't help but tell the prince about it. The prince lost his temper with me, saying that I shouldn't have secretly associated with Yourong. I felt so sick that I cried in my room. I thought he was angry with me, but the next morning, he called me into the room and told me something. I was almost stupefied by the prince's words, how could the prince come up with such an idea. I still remember that morning, after listening to the words of the prince, in a panic, I accidentally broke a jade net bottle. It was the prince's favorite antique, but the prince didn't blame me. ”
The princess's eyes flickered, and she was very flustered, as if until this moment, she still had lingering palpitations about it.
The little county lord said softly: "What did Daddy say?" Let my mother be so flustered? ”
Lin Jue vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he didn't speak, only silently poured half a glass of wine for the princess. The princess glanced at Lin Jue gratefully, picked up the wine glass and drank it with trembling hands. With a long exhale, he continued.
"The prince said that he thought about it all night, and since I wanted to help a group of young people, he had an idea. He said...... He said...... If the child had been born as a boy, everything would have been solved. Therefore, in order to save Yourong, she must give birth to a boy. He said...... If Yourong is really a girl, you can ...... You can find a boy out there and change it. As long as you are careful enough, no one will know about it. He said that this was the only way to save Yourong. Oh my God, I'm out of breath, I'm ...... To this day, my heart is still beating hard when I mention this. The princess's face turned pale, and she clutched her chest, and her face was pained.
Lin Jue and the little county lord were as stupid as clay sculptures and wood carvings. Not long ago, Lin Jue had speculated with the little county lord about the possibility of the tanuki changing the prince, so he was a little mentally prepared for such a result. But what they never expected was that it was Guo Bing, the king of Liang, who came up with this idea, which was unbelievable.
No matter from which point of view, it is incredible for Guo Bing to say such a thing. The purity of the royal blood is the most important thing. It is impossible for Guo Bing not to know this. It is absolutely intolerable to get an outsider to be raised as a child of the royal family. Did Guo Bing faint or go crazy? What was his purpose in coming up with such a crazy and unbelievable plan? Lin Jue didn't believe that he would be stupid enough to come up with such a bad idea just to save Wei Yourong, but Lin Jue was completely confused, and couldn't think of the deep-seated reason why he did this.
"Mother...... You...... Isn't that a joke? Daddy's meaning is actually ...... Fall...... Packet loss? How is this possible? I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. The little lord shouted, his face full of disbelief.
