The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 546: predictable
Chapter 546: Predicting things like a god
She hated herself for being stupid, and also hated herself for being instigated by her brother, which almost harmed Changmao. Fortunately, Princess Zhenguo did not take direct action, otherwise she would have no place to cry.
When Bai Qingyan stepped into the gate of Dong Qingyue’s study, Dong Qingyue’s staff had just come out of Dong Qingyue’s study and saluted to Bai Qingyan one after another.
Bai Qingyan nodded slightly and stepped into the study, where he saw Dong Qingyue holding a cup and drinking tea.
“Uncle!” Bai Qingyan stepped forward and saluted.
“Here it comes…” Dong Qingyue pointed at the letter on the corner of the table with his hand holding the lid of the teacup, “It’s from the capital city, take a look!”
Dong Qingyue and his staff had just discussed the matter of Princess Mingcheng of Dayan for a long time. He was already very thirsty after talking so much. He drank a cup of tea and poured another cup before saying, “I’m afraid Princess Mingcheng won’t make it. There will be three days at most. The Dayan army stationed in Beirong and the Beirong Imperial Court have sent people to welcome her. They should arrive tomorrow. By then… I will hand Princess Mingcheng over to them, and the matter will be over.”
Bai Qingyan paused as he was opening the letter and looked up at Dong Qingyue.
Bai Qingyan knew in his heart that this solution would be in the best interests of the State of Jin…
If the people were returned to Dayan and Beirong while Princess Mingcheng was still alive, Dayan and Beirong would owe Jin a favor.
Then, will General Xie, who grew up with Princess Mingcheng of Dayan, come? If he can come… maybe Princess Mingcheng can survive.
“Uncle, most of the doctors in Beirong are witch doctors. They are not as good as the doctors in our Jin State. Uncle, why don’t you send a doctor to go with us? Maybe he can save Princess Mingcheng’s life…” Bai Qingyan said.
Bai Qingyan was full of admiration for Princess Mingcheng, a woman who was willing to give up her love for her children and marry for the sake of her country.
If possible, Bai Qingyan really wants to save Princess Mingcheng.
Dong Qingyue said, “That’s what I meant, but… the aides in the palace are right! If we send a doctor over… and the method used by the Northern Rong witch doctor is different, and our Jin doctor fails to bring the patient back to health, then… it will be a sin for Jin!”
Logically, Bai Qingyan agreed with Dong Qingyue’s words, but emotionally… Bai Qingyan still wanted to try his best.
“Take the doctor with you and see the patient as usual, but… let Dayan make the decision whether to use the witch doctor’s method or the Jin doctor’s method. The princess of Dayan has not yet married the king of Beirong. She is still a princess of Dayan, so Dayan should make the decision. We… just have to do our best!” Bai Qingyan said solemnly.
Dong Qingyue stroked the edge of the sweet porcelain teacup with plum blossoms in his hand, frowned and thought carefully: “It is… feasible.”
Seeing that Dong Qingyue was thinking carefully about whether this matter was feasible, Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes, opened the envelope in his hand, and read the letter carefully.
Bai Jinxiu told Bai Qingyan in the letter that the Queen was diagnosed with pregnancy on the third day of August, and the whole country celebrated that the Queen was pregnant with a son again. However, the Queen missed Prince Xin during her pregnancy and her pregnancy condition was not very good. The Queen’s brother begged the Emperor during the morning court session to bring Prince Xin back to the capital city for the safety of the Queen Mother and the son to comfort the Queen Mother, and the Emperor agreed.
At noon on the same day, the Crown Princess was diagnosed with pregnancy, which had been going on for more than three months, and the Emperor was extremely happy.
Then there is the white deer, the sacred beast of the Jin State, which the prince presented to the emperor. It has been confirmed that it died of poisoning, but all the people involved were beaten to death when the emperor was furious. The emperor now singled out King Liang for a detailed investigation of the matter.
Prince Liang was highly valued by the Emperor, and his palace began to openly make elixirs. As his superiors led their followers to follow suit, the custom of making elixirs became increasingly popular among the noble families in the capital.
Li Mingrui, the son of the Left Prime Minister, had not been to the Prince of Liang’s Mansion for a while since the fire broke out there. Now, after the Emperor appointed Prince Liang, he started to visit the Mansion again.
At the end of the letter, Bai Jinxiu wrote about the fact that she had given birth to a son prematurely on the fourth day of August.
Bai Jinxiu said that mother and child were safe and asked Bai Qingyan not to worry. The child had not been named yet and his nickname was Wangger. Because he was born prematurely, his body was a little weak, but it was not a big deal. Doctor Hong said that he would recover if he was taken good care of.
When Bai Qingyan saw the end of the letter, his palms tightened.
Bai Jinxiu always reports good news but not bad news. She absolutely did not believe that Bai Jinxiu would give birth prematurely for no reason. Something must have happened, but Bai Jinxiu did not want to make her worry, so she downplayed it.
However, the letter was written by Bai Jinxiu herself, so she should be safe!
Bai Qingyan will have to investigate the reason why Bai Jinxiu had a miscarriage after returning. If the two girls from the Qin family are responsible, they will go to the temple to accompany their mother!
Seeing the murderous look in Bai Qingyan’s eyes, Dong Qingyue put down the teacup in his hand and asked, “What happened?”
Bai Qingyan restrained his emotions and said, “Jinxiu gave birth to a son prematurely, both mother and child are safe! And the Queen and the Crown Princess are also pregnant!”
Dong Qingyue frowned: “The Queen is pregnant… Is Prince Xin going back to the capital?”
“Uncle is very good at predicting things.” Bai Qingyan stood up in front of Dong Qingyue’s desk, lit the letter and put it in the pen wash, “It seems that the queen is pregnant… for Prince Xin!”
Perhaps it was because now that the Crown Prince’s position was secure and the Emperor had appointed Prince Liang, the Queen could no longer sit still.
The emperor does not have many children, especially his only legitimate son, Prince Xin. Now the queen is pregnant… I think the emperor will treasure this baby no matter it is a boy or a girl.
The Queen, for the sake of her good-for-nothing son, first wanted to force the emperor to abdicate with General Fu Ruoxi and rebel to let Prince Xin ascend the throne. When she saw that Fu Ruoxi refused, she became pregnant again and recalled Prince Xin back to the capital city on the pretext of having an heir.
It looks like the metropolis is going to be busy again.
“Uncle, General Fu Ruoxi… Uncle should be more cautious. General Fu has a close relationship with the Queen!” Bai Qingyan thought of the letter that Miss Lu had sent to Shuoyang before, and reminded Dong Qingyue.
“Are you closely related?”
Bai Qingyan nodded and did not hide it: “The Queen once wanted to ask General Fu to welcome Prince Xin back to Dadu, force the emperor to rebel, and support Prince Xin to ascend the throne, but General Fu did not agree! But the Queen actually told General Fu about the rebellion, I think the relationship between the two must be unusual.”
Dong Qingyue was stunned. He knew that Bai Qingyan would not speak without a purpose. He clenched the teacup in his hand and frowned in thought.
“The Fu family… seems to have no connection with the queen.” Dong Qingyue calculated carefully.
“The depth of the water behind the aristocratic family is unknown until the end of the road… How many connections are involved behind the aristocratic family.” Bai Qingyan said, “Now that General Fu is in control of the Anping camp, uncle still has to be on guard.”
Dong Qingyue nodded: “I understand!”
After finishing his business, Dong Qingyue put down his teacup and asked with a smile: “Did you send Lupin out of the city?”
“I asked him to disguise himself and go to the heartland of Nanrong to take a look.” Bai Qingyan concealed the fact that the ghost-faced general might be Ayu.
“In that case, can you stay a few more days to accompany your grandmother?” Dong Qingyue had a warm smile between his eyebrows.
Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile: “Well, stay a few more days.”
