Chapter 327 - Changxing Has a Miscarriage and Madam Shen Has a Son

When Song Yixiao heard about this, she naturally hurriedly summoned Aunt Yun to go to Princess Changxing’s mansion with the messenger. Then she hurriedly changed her clothes and also rushed over.

When she arrived, Grand Princess Jinguo, Commandery Princess of Qingjiang and Lady of Earl Shouchun were already there, all three with sullen faces!

“Has Aunt Yun gone in?” Song Yixiao was surprised to see this, and after saluting, she asked in a soft voice.

“Aunt Yun has already gone in, but, according to the judgment of the imperial physician, I’m afraid…” Grand Princess Jinguo was clearly in a very bad mood and did not answer. Commandery Princess Qingjiang and Lady of Earl Shouchun looked at each other and said with a sigh, “Let’s wait. Maybe there will be good news.”

Song Yixiao looked at the scene and did not dare to say more. She went to the seat beside Lady of Earl Shouchun and waited together.

Aunt Yun had not yet come out. The palace also got the news. The Empress Dowager and the Empress both sent people, and immediately afterwards, Princess Consort of Su and the wife of Earl Fuyang’s heir also arrived.

Although many people were concerned about Princess Changxing, after a long time, Aunt Yun still announced the news that Princess Changxing unfortunately miscarried!

After hearing this, Grand Princess Jinguo fell into tears on the spot, “Poor child!”

Yuguo sent by the Empress Dowager and Fangyu sent by the Empress also had their eyes turning red, but after the sadness, there was anger, “Her Highness was depressed in the heart before. But since the pregnancy, Her Highness has been much more cheerful. There is also an imperial physician who comes to check pulse for Her Highness every day. How can she miscarry?”

This reminded Grand Princess Jinguo. In view of Princess Changxing being too upset at this moment, she has taken the tranquilizer soup to fall asleep. The Grand Princess did not have to go inside to visit and comfort her, so she simply asked Jiayue to take care of Princess Changxing for the time being and called all the people who were serving Princess Changxing to the drawing hall to interrogate.

Princess Changxing’s accompanying marriage maid kneeling at the bottom, said with running nose and tears, “Her Highness was doing well this morning. At noon, she had two small bowls of green stalk rice porridge for the staple food. At that time, I joked that Her Highness ate more than usual, and the fetus in the womb must be strong and lively. Who would have thought that after she took a walk in the garden with the servants in the afternoon after lunch, not long after Her Highness came back, she felt uncomfortable!”

Yuguo and Fangyu looked at each other and said at the same time, “Where is Her Highness’s lunch? Is there anything left?”

At this moment, there was a little maid poking her head in and looking about outside.

When Grand Princess Jinguo saw this, her face sank and she ordered to bring her in, “What are you looking at? Who are you serving? What are you doing here?”

The little maid warily kowtowed before timidly reporting, “I am from Concubine Shen’s courtyard. Concubine Shen…seems to be giving birth!”

At these words, the mood of the people became heavier in the drawing hall. Originally, it had long been known to even outside world that Jian Yiyou favored Concubine Shen and had discord with Princess Changxing.

The news of Princess Changxing’s pregnancy came out not long ago, and all people thought that her relationship with her husband could turn better. Who thought that in only a few days, Princess Changxing had a miscarriage? The worst thing was that Concubine Shen was going to give birth at this time. No matter whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, how would Princess Changxing feel when she found out?

No one said anything for a long time. The little maid thought about Shen Qimo’s situation. When she was about to remind them, she saw the angry face of Grand Princess Jinguo, so she wisely took back her words.

In the end, it was Fangyu, as the person sent by Princess Changxing’s own mother, who said in a low voice, “After all, it is the child of Prince Consort.”

Grand Princess Jinguo said in a cold voice, “Since she is about to give birth, why do you not go to the midwife but come to me? Do you want me to personally deliver her baby?”

The little maid hurriedly said she didn’t dare. In fact, Shen Qimo was close to giving birth, so the midwife and other manpower were already prepared. But at this time giving birth was a dangerous thing, and Jian Yiyou was not at home. The servants around were afraid of taking responsibility, so they decided to come to Princess Changxing to inform.

Unfortunately, Princess Changxing was just having a miscarriage. It seemed like she was trying to make the thing worse.

After sending away the little maid who could not judge the situation, Grand Princess Jinguo asked about Jian Yiyou’s whereabouts and learned that he had gone outside the city yesterday to go to a friend’s appointment and had not returned yet. She was very angry, “Then why don’t you go and find him?”

At this time, the people who went to the kitchen to check the leftovers at noon of Princess Changxing also came back to report, saying that the food was normal and there was no problem.

In fact, there should not be a problem. Even though Jian Yiyou favored Shen Qimo, this was not the Jian Family’s mansion, but the Princess’s mansion. The one in charge was not the Prince Consort, but the Princess.

Even if Jian Yiyou and Shen Qimo wanted to do something about Princess Changxing’s pregnancy, they might not have the ability to do so.

“Since it is not the lunch that was tampered with, you guys think about it more carefully. What goes wrong?” Grand Princess Jinguo frowned, “Don’t say you didn’t find. How could a healthy lady miscarry?”

This matter was investigated from near evening to almost curfew. Still, they failed to get a clear answer, and they finally could only think that Princess Changxing had been depressed in the heart for more than half a year and was hard to recover, so she failed to keep the child.

In the meantime, Jian Yiyou came back in a hurry and was scolded by Grand Princess Jinguo when he just entered the door, ordering him to accompany Princess Changxing and not to go elsewhere to fool around. These words are obviously worried that that Jian Yiyou would visit Shen Qimo after he learnt that she was in labor and hurt Princess Changxing’s heart again.

Although Jian Yiyou was pressured by his own mother and did not dare to visit Shen Qimo, it made everyone speechless that when they were about to leave, the news that the mother and son were safe came!

Jian Yiyou subconsciously showed joy, but he was fiercely glared at by Grand Princess Jinguo. Then he hurriedly took back his emotions and said flatly, “Got it!”

But the joy on his face was obvious to anyone with high emotional quotient.

After the people left the mansion, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for Princess Changxing.

Who would have thought that the only legitimate daughter of the Emperor and Empress, the noble Princess would be reduced to the present situation, being treated worse than a concubine?

After Song Yixiao returned to the Duke’s mansion, she specially dismissed servants and asked Aunt Yun privately, “What happened to Changxing’s miscarriage this time? Did Aunt find anything?”

“It does seem to be the result of too much depression.” Aunt Yun said in a low voice, “But as far as I know, some abortion medicine can also help reach this result. I’m not sure if it’s because she didn’t take care of it or stabbed in the back. The Princess is the master of the Princess’s mansion. The Prince Consort is certainly not very close to her, but I do not think he has the ability to turn the tables while the Emperor and the Empress are still alive, right?”

Song Yixiao also thought so, sighing, “Since no one can hurt her, and she can’t have harmed her own child, it seems to be truly an accident!”

But when it came to “could not have harmed her own child”, she suddenly remembered Cui Jianlian, and then she smiled. People who were so ignorant were few in the end. Among normal women, no matter whether they were noble or ordinary, who did not hope to have many children and many blessings?

For example, Xie Yiren. Even if Song Yixiao gave birth to a daughter this time, she was very envious!

Song Yixiao sighed with emotion and packed some nourishing herbs and some ornaments to relieve boredom. She ordered someone to send them to Princess Changxing’s mansion early the next morning. The person who sent stuffs come back and told her, “His Majesty has decided to let Jian Yiyou go away to Jiangnan after this autumn, and he will take the Princess with him.”

“What about Concubine Shen and their son?” Song Yixiao asked.

The man said, “It was not mentioned.”

Since it was not mentioned, it was most possible that they wouldn’t be taken with him. The Emperor’s intention was obviously to keep Shen Qimo and her son in the imperial capital, so that the Princess and her husband could cultivate their relationship alone. And the location was chosen in Jiangnan. It was also expected to make Princess Changxing go there to take good care of her health, and strive to conceive again as soon as possible. From then on, the couple would be in harmony and have children.

As for Shen Qimo and her son, it was estimated that the Emperor did not care after the relationship between the Princess and her husband got better.

After all, he was the Princess’ own father, not Shen Qimo’s.

Song Yixiao felt pity for Shen Qimo, who was a pawn of Elder Lady Duanmu, and at present was apparently going to be an outcast. She thought of the girl who was bright and interesting when they first met. Song Yixiao felt that the worldly human emotion was like frost, it can’t be seen or touched, making people confused and disoriented

Of course, she was also sorry for Princess Changxing. So after thinking about it, she thought the worst was still Jian Yiyou.

But these thoughts were just kept for her own. It would be not good to say them out.

A few days after the miscarriage of Princess Changxing, it was the birthday of Jian Likuang and Jian Limiao.

But this year, the younger generation did not have to go both sides. Jian Likuang had said he was ill a few days ago, and said he could not attend the birthday banquet. Therefore he let the juniors not bother and go to send congratulations to Jian Limiao.

Commandery Princess Qingjiang asked Grand Princess Jinguo very carefully about her stepfather’s condition, and Grand Princess Jinguo was very upset when she heard it, “What? You think I have treated him badly again?”

The Commandery Princess hurriedly smiled and said, “Mother, what are you talking about? I am just concerned about the elders.”

“If I want to give him hell, when can I not?” The Grand Princess said disdainfully, “Do I need to cover up?”

Then she answered her daughter’s question, “It seemed that he fell ill after drinking wine and blowing the cold wind? Who knew the details? The subordinate did report it, but I was impatient to hear it and told people to just get him a doctor. At such an age, he didn’t know how to look after himself. Did he want me to serve him?”

Commandery Princess Qingjiang dared not ask any further questions.

On the way to congratulate Jian Limiao, Song Yixiao quietly asked her husband, “Just now, it seems that Yiyou talked to you?”

He said, “It is said that Mother back then, in order to marry Father, had forced Father’s original wife, Madam Wen, to give away her position.” His feelings could not be seen from Jian Xubai’s light look, “So Mother is sincerely into Father. What is the reason that Father and Nother were estranged and HYPERLINK “../../../software/YoudaoDict8.9.6/Dict/8.10.3.0/resultui/html/index.html” l “/javascript:;”hostile to this? Even in front of the children, they are not willing to pretend that everything is going well.”

Song Yixiao did not know whether to take the words. But Jian Xubai himself continued, “I said that father doesn’t treat me well anyway, and mother doesn’t treat father well. Why do I care? He feels wronged for her father, so he should talk about it to Mother. Does he want to drag me in?”

He replied like this, and the two naturally dismissed unhappily.

The two of them did not talk to each other when they arrived at Jian Limiao’s mansion. The guests who came to congratulate all saw that and the atmosphere was affected, and the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month of this year passed bleakly at last.

The weather on the birthday of the brothers, Jian Likuang and Jian Limiao had been relatively hot. When the birthday banquet was finished, naturally, it was time to pack up and prepare to go to Mount Cuihua to escape the heat.

Song Yixiao originally thought that with the experience of last year, this year she should be able to handle it. But she didn’t expect that with a new daughter, two more carts of things were brought for Jian Qingyue alone.

After a good deal of mess, when they finally arrived at Mount Cuihua, Jian Qingyue actually had a fever, not knowing whether it was because she didn’t adapt to the sudden change of place, or to the cool climate on the mountain. Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao were scared to death, and even the Empress Dowager and Grand Princess Jinguo were alarmed, and sent people to ask every day.

The good thing was that Aunt Yun was very good at medical skill. A few days later, Jian Qingyue’s fever subsided. She recovered and started to make a fuss again as usual.

Then Song Yixiao was relieved, and was about to order someone to bring in the invitations and other items that had accumulated over the past few days to deal with, when it was reported, “Master Song is here!”

“What is he doing here?” When Song Yixiao heard that Song Yuan had come, she was so surprised that she stood up, and then thought, could it be that her mother had urged her stepmother to ask her grandmother to bring the Yijiao back to her side. Then her father found out about it, and he came to blame her?

She felt funny. She didn’t do it, and at that time also tried to remind her stepmother. These two mothers, one had too much thoughts, and the other had too shallow mind. What could she do, as a daughter caught in the middle?
