Chapter 1414 Dont be a cannon fodder (13)
The emperor was very wary of the Chu family from the beginning. He was most afraid of the influence of his relatives. He married the queen to increase his leverage in the fight for the throne. He actually had someone he liked in his heart.
When they got married, they made up their minds not to let the queen have any children. As long as the next prince didn't have the blood of the Chu family, he was not afraid of the Chu family becoming powerful.
At that time, the queen was still a princess and had no children in the first year, so she asked the family to find a female doctor to check her health, and then she found out that she had been prescribed contraceptive pills. The female doctor helped her take care of her health, and she became pregnant soon after.
However, the child was aborted within two months.
At first, the queen thought that the birth control pills and the loss of the child were all the fault of the concubines, so she gave all the concubines the birth control pills.
Without enough time to recover, she became pregnant with her second child and gave birth to her second child in the third month. This time, she wondered if someone from other princes' palaces was involved, and she never thought it was the emperor. After all, it was a troubled time at that time, so she temporarily stopped thinking about it.
After the emperor ascended the throne, she became pregnant twice, but could not keep it. Even if the female doctor checked, nothing could be found.
The queen wondered if her body was not suitable for pregnancy. She could not even imagine that the emperor himself had done this. Only when dining with the emperor did she not ask anyone to check her carefully.
Concubine Ye gave birth outside the palace. She felt that the child would not grow up in the palace, so she came up with the idea of letting the child grow up outside the palace.
To prevent the Queen from worrying about the living children outside the palace, she arranged for someone to stage a play in which people jumped off a cliff with her children to die while being hunted.
In this way, people can still speculate whether the queen did it.
It was clear that her child was dead, so the queen would not pursue the matter further.
After more than ten years, when her child has grown up, she will no longer be afraid of being taken back to the palace. Of course, she couldn't just choose any family to raise her children, so she chose Shangshu's family.
Shang Shu had always been at odds with the Prime Minister of Chu. He also felt that the Chu family was powerful and the son of the Prime Minister of Chu also controlled the military power.
He believed that Concubine Ye never told lies. The queen would definitely harm other princes for the sake of the prince.
How else could the emperor have only one heir, the prince, for so many years? It was done by no one but the Queen.
It happened that the emperor didn't delve into the matter at all, and even indulged the queen and spoke for her.
How did they know that the emperor kept silent because he was afraid that his physical condition would be known and everyone in the world would laugh at him.
