Only when the Jiang clan found out from the imperial physician that there was a way to cut open the abdomen to obtain a child even if there was danger, did they calm their hearts.
In the end, the Jiang clan was worried that if the child was given birth too long, it would have an impact on the child. Even though the imperial physician indicated that they could look for another method, they still insisted that the child was the only son of Prince Chen and he had already lost interest in her. Naturally, he agreed, and when the child was safely born, he died because of excessive blood loss.
The story did not end because of Huang Qide's death. Because Huang Qide was worried about the child that had just been born, a wisp of his soul remained at the Duke's Mansion, unwilling to leave. The past few months she had been floating in the air in a muddled state, as if there were a lot of things that she had seen, but not in her own mind.
But there was one thing that she remembered very clearly, she remembered that after she died, the wangfei seemed to have found evidence to prove that her death was not simple, and that was because of the side concubine of the West Branch. No matter how much Prince Chen liked that one, he could not show favoritism towards her under the influence of so many witnesses and materials, and on top of that, during Huang Qiqi's pregnancy, the wangfei had found many beauties to present to Prince Chen.
At this moment, the wangfei held his only son and wailed that she would seek justice for Huang Qide. Just for the sake of his only son, he had to express his stance.
Thus, Prince Chen had reduced the position of the man from the West Branch and banned him from taking a post.
Only at such a young age would he be happy to have such a noble son. Prince Chen had everything he needed right now, and since his son's name was in the name of the imperial concubine, he came to the main courtyard for no reason. Only after so many years did the imperial concubine finally have a sole favor.
In the beginning, this child was single, so whether it was the prince or the wangfei, they both held him in high regard. The wangfei didn't really love this child, she only felt that this child was beneficial to her consolidating her position.
Huang Qide was wandering around the palace and saw that his son was living a good life. Although he had heard many secrets of the imperial concubine and knew in his heart that the imperial concubine was a good person, he still thought that his son still needed her protection, so he didn't have any thoughts of pursuing the matter.
Only after three years had passed did Huang Qide begin to feel a faint sense of unease. In these few years, she had become more and more familiar with the character of the wangfei, especially in the middle of the night when there was no one around. Listening to her mother and wangfei discussing how to frame their newly favoured concubine in the backyard, she couldn't help but worry.
At the start, Princess Huang didn't know if she was carrying a woman or a man, and she still felt some affection and affection for Huang Qide's son. However, as her own son was born, she began to dislike him more and more, thinking that this eldest son of hers was obstructing her son's path.
But Prince Chen liked this eldest son of his very much. He believed that this eldest son had brought him the fate of a child, so after so many years, the princess had finally gotten pregnant.
Jiang Wangfei didn't dare to blatantly frame Prince Chen, so under the suggestion of Sun Yiyi's mother, she took the method of praising and killing.
Moreover, when she died, she was still a fool, so she did not have a single trace of grievance. Being able to stay in the mortal world was only because of a worry, and under the impact of so many years of yang energy, not to mention being unable to maintain her soul, she did not even have the power to maintain her stability. Now, seeing her own son being slaughtered by the wangfei day after day, getting more and more reckless, in her heart, she could do nothing.
She had tried thousands of times to enter a dream to remind her son, but because of her low magic power, she couldn't even approach the human body, much less enter a dream.
As Jiang Wangfei's son progressed, Huang QIqi's son became more and more notorious in the capital. Initially, the prince liked to tolerate this son of his, but as he listened to so much gossip outside, he gradually lost his patience.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Jiang Clan secretly arranged for a beautiful actress to appear in the busy city and then have someone lead Huang Qiqi's son there. In addition, they also had another famous playboy from the capital go there with them.
Because Huang Qide's soul was weak, he couldn't leave the palace. She knew all the schemes, but she could only do what she wanted; nothing could stop her.
While she was extremely anxious, she was waiting in the shadow of the prince's mansion, hoping that her son would return safely. In the end, the only one waiting for her was a son covered in blood, and the servants of the prince's mansion hurriedly called for the imperial physician.
For the first time, hatred welled up in Huang Qide's heart, but no matter how low her level of cultivation was, no matter how much resentment she had, she was unable to fully cultivate. Yet, there was no way she could force her to give up and return to the Underworld, so she went looking for Yuanling, hoping to use the power of Yuanling to save her son's life. She had no other requests, she only hoped that her only bloodline could live on in peace, and whether or not she could inherit the throne didn't matter, the most important thing was that anyone who wanted her son's life, she wouldn't allow them.
He clearly knew that the wangfei was not a good person, and even his own son was killed by her, yet he did not have any thoughts of revenge. His only wish was to let his son be safe, but she had forgotten. She wanted her son to be safe, but would the wangfei Jiang allow it?
Prince Chen didn't really care about the affairs of the inner mansion, he only believed that men cared about the power struggles of the outer mansion. The inner mansion only had the function of relaxing their emotions, and the role of a heir continued, so he didn't care about how the women of the rear mansion schemed against him. As long as it didn't affect his reputation outside, he would happily watch these women fight for his jealousy.
As for the imperial concubine, the Jiang clan, because of her age, what she really cared about was not the favor of Prince Chen. What she cared about was her absolute authority in the backyard, otherwise, she wouldn't have sent all the beauties to Prince Chen's bed in order to consolidate her position.
The reason she had shown so much affection towards Prince Chen in front of Huang Qide was simply to convince him that she was a good person and that all her plans were for the love of the Prince, with no ulterior motives.
It was as if in the name of love, any mistake could be forgiven, and the truth was the same. In the years Huang Qide had worked for Chen Wangfei, wasn't it because of the name of love? Although he sometimes felt that Wangfei's methods were a bit excessive, he didn't doubt her character at all? In fact, because she wanted to repay this favor, no matter what request Jiang Wangfei made, she would fulfill it without any wariness.
It was only when Huang Qide had become a part of his soul and saw what his wife did, not only in public but also in private, that he was able to see her true appearance.
The only one who had caused the Jiang Dynasty's fear was the secondary wife of the West Branch, Huang Qide's status was low, and the chances of him being in direct contact with the secondary wife of the West Branch were very limited. The only few times he came in contact with her, he only saw a blurry silhouette from afar, and before she could react, he was ordered to kneel down.
She was, after all, a servant born as a concubine. She did not feel wronged after being punished by her master, but because of Wang Concubine's orders, she still had to put on an appearance of a delicate, wronged little girl. Afterwards, she also went to complain to Prince Chen.
It was said that the only reason why she had married into the prince's mansion was because she had a proud temperament and had been schemed against. She did not wish to enter the prince's mansion, nor did she have the heart to please his highness, making her a dejected person, so even though Prince Chen liked her appearance, he was often angered by his haughty personality. That was why he gave the other women in the backyard the opportunity to compete for his favor.
Thinking of such a character, the corners of Qi Qi Qi's mouth curved up in a smile. It seemed like she had found her way out of this predicament.
Every time, his strength was neither painful nor itchy. Even if he cried in front of the prince and had Prince Chen ban his foot, who knew if he would care about that or not. Maybe he was happy because of a quiet opportunity.
It would be a little too difficult for her to have a child in peace, so that the wangfei wouldn't have the ability to leave a mother behind and use her status and appearance to seduce Prince Chen so that he would take care of her and protect her. Moreover, she didn't want to sell her looks to seduce a person she didn't really like, so she decided to start with this wangfei and let her fight with the Jiang clan.
Of course, she wouldn't place all her hopes on someone else. This would be too passive, and she could prepare a way out for herself while the two of them were fighting.
First, she had to let the two fight.
After making up her mind, Qi Qi didn't waste any more of her brain cells. She called out to the servants who were waiting outside to prepare a good table of food, and it had been several hours since she had woken up. The sky had already darkened, and it was time for her to eat.
She had never eaten such an exquisite dish before. For the first time in her mission, she came from a rich and powerful family, so the food she ate was pretty good, but how could modern people care about the taste of the dishes? The dishes in the mansion had already been lost since the day they arrived, so she had managed to get some benefits this time.
