Chapter 288 Royal Offspring
"Mom, you said Lu Zhiyi is pregnant?"
Ye Xinran widened her eyes and looked at Leng Qingyu in disbelief.
Leng Qingyu nodded with difficulty.
"Yes, after she told me that, I asked a doctor to check her pulse, and she was indeed pregnant."
"Whose child?"
"She said she was the third prince's!"
Leng Qingyu's face looked extremely ugly.
If this scandal were to become known to others, it would ruin the reputation of their family.
Chang Qing had just been conferred the title of loyalist to the king. If others knew that his sister was having an affair with someone else, they would definitely ridicule him behind his back.
"If it was an ordinary family, it would be fine. At most, they could just give the child a bowl of medicine and make him disappear without a trace.
But it is hard to tell whether Lu Zhiyi's words are true or not. If it is really the Third Prince's child, once the investigation is carried out, it would be murder of the royal heir, and we cannot afford this crime."
Leng Qingyu's tone was heavy.
“I think it’s probably true!”
Analysis by Ye Xinran.
"Lu Zhiyi shouldn't be so bold as to casually link up with the Third Prince. Besides, doesn't this incident explain why the Third Prince helped them deal with us? It turns out there is such a relationship!"
"So what should we do now?"
Leng Qingyu was at a loss for a moment.
"Since it's the Third Prince's child, let's send a message to the Third Prince. If he really wants to marry Lu Zhiyi, he will send someone to propose marriage. If he doesn't want to marry Lu Zhiyi, then the Third Prince will deal with the child himself."
Ye Xinran suggested.
Leng Qingyu finally calmed down after hearing what Ye Xinran said.
She had been worried just now. If Lu Zhiyi gained the upper hand, Ning Yuer and Lu Changning would also be protected. Was she just going to watch this family show off in front of her again?
But after Ye Xinran's reminder, she realized that this child might not be recognized by the Third Prince.
Instead of covering up this matter and letting it become a bomb that could hurt you at any time, it is better to expose it directly and let everyone know.
After figuring out the relationship between them, Leng Qingyu finally felt better.
"I need to think carefully about how to do this so that it will be foolproof!"
"I will tell King Rui about this tomorrow, and let him know what's going on." Ye Xinran said.
The three of them had made their decision and finally had a peaceful dinner.
Ye Xinran told the two about today's treatment. She only briefly mentioned the treatment process, but described the reactions of Chen's father and daughter in detail.
"I see that everyone in this family treats Chen Yan as a treasure. For Chen Yan, they seem to be willing to give up even the palace."
"Sister, if it were me, I would rather trade the throne for you!"
Lu Changqing rushed to express his opinion.
Ye Xinran was really touched by his words and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you have me in your heart. Be good, I will spoil you in the future!"
"I don't need you to pamper me. I want to be the big tree in our house, protecting you and mother from wind and rain!"
"Row!"
Leng Qingyu also laughed.
The next day, Ye Xinran got up and went to Prince Rui's Palace.
When they arrived, Prince Rui was still standing in Chen Yan's room, looking at him in a daze.
Chen Yan remained in the same state as yesterday, without moving a single movement.
Ye Xinran greeted Prince Rui, then came to the bedside, checked Chen Yan carefully, stood up and said, "Everything is normal, Prince Rui, don't worry."
King Rui calmed down, moved his legs which had been numb from standing for a long time, and said casually: "I'm not worried, I just came to see him."
Ye Xinran swiftly took out a few bags of medicine, gave Chen Yan an IV drip, and then walked out of the room with King Rui and went to the front hall.
"According to my experience, it will take at least seven days for him to wake up in this condition, but it would be good for him to sleep a few more days, so that he can recover faster."
Ye Xinran comforted King Rui with understanding.
King Rui sighed: "I feel relieved when you say that. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to say a word to him before I leave."
"The New Year is coming soon. Is Prince Rui going on a long journey at this time?"
Ye Xinran asked immediately.
Prince Rui did not hide the truth from her: "Didn't you ask me about the Northern Frontier before? Something went wrong with the military rations shipped there, and now the court needs to urgently raise a batch of military rations and transport them there again.
Now the Xixia Mountain in the northern border has been blocked by heavy snow, and the Kexi tribe is eyeing it covetously, so we must have someone familiar with the terrain to lead the team. The emperor is worried, so he can only give this task to me!"
"Excuse me for being blunt," Ye Xinran frowned after hearing this and said, "The situation over there is so tense. Is the emperor really sending Prince Rui over here to save the people inside?"
Ye Xinran spoke cryptically.
He did not directly ask whether King Rui should be sent there as cannon fodder.
However, Prince Rui immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Although the emperor is quite cunning, he is still polite to me. Besides, my offspring are dying and pose no threat to the imperial power. The emperor will never take action against me.
The main reason why he was so nervous this time was because Xixia Mountain was so important.
If they fail, the Kosi tribe will launch a massive attack.
Besides, there is another important person in Xixia Mountain. The emperor feels guilty towards him and does not want him to die because of this.
The imperial court has raised so many elite soldiers, but in the end, an old man like me has to go out in person. How can this not be a tragedy!"
King Rui finally sighed.
Ye Xinran only listened to half of it. By the end, her mind had already flown far away.
The situation in the northern border is so serious, what about Xiao Huaian? How is he now?
The emperor sent someone to call him to the northern border. So, was the person that the emperor valued mentioned by Prince Rui Xiao Huaian?
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Prince Rui calling her, "Miss Lu! Miss Lu?"
Ye Xinran came back to her senses immediately and said to King Rui embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just thought of something else and was distracted."
King Rui didn't care.
"I've said too much. You girls are not interested in these things anyway."
"No," Ye Xinran said quickly, "I'm very interested. I just thought, if King Rui wants to go to the Northern Frontier, can he take me with him? The Northern Frontier is covered with ice and snow, and people living there will definitely suffer from typhoid fever. I have a special prescription that can cure typhoid fever, frostbite, and febrile diseases!"
"The northern border is bitterly cold, how can we do this?"
King Rui waved his hand and told her to give up the idea.
However, he was very interested in the miraculous recipe she mentioned: "Miss Lu, why don't you tell me the prescription? I'll have someone prepare the medicine and bring it over!"
"No one else can use my prescription!"
Ye Xinran shook her head. "Just like the treatment I gave Chen Yan, I dare say that no one can learn this skill except myself."
Ye Xinran was telling the truth.
Although King Rui did not ask in depth what kind of treatment Ye Xinran gave Chen Yan, he could tell at a glance that no one else in the entire Daliang had this ability!
"We will discuss this matter again!"
King Rui still did not agree, but this time he did not refuse so bluntly.
"When does the prince plan to leave?"
Ye Xinran asked again.
"Fifteen days later! The emperor gave the Ministry of Revenue fifteen days to raise military rations!"
"Fifteen days is enough!" Ye Xinran said, "Within fifteen days, I guarantee that Chen Yan will wake up. At the same time, I also plan to tell the prince a piece of news, hoping that the prince will agree to let me go to Northern Frontier!"
