Chapter 187 The Maid Who Married in Place 21
Of course, the old lady would not be allowed to interfere in the rough housework, but if Cheng's mother, who had suffered for half her life, had some free time.
I guess the problem with my body has come back.
Not only did Mu Chen find a famous doctor in the capital's medical clinic, he also prescribed a set of medicinal recipes for the old lady.
He also found a martial arts master and gave him the Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin boxing techniques.
Let him come and teach the girl around the old lady every day, and then go back to practice with the old lady.
It doesn’t matter how much Cheng’s mother can learn. The main thing is to let her exercise and keep fit.
As for collecting those medicinal herbs, of course they were all for Sirong.
Sirong can open his system backpack. He can put the things in it and wait for Sirong to take them out.
Being a father for the first time, Mu Chen was even more nervous than Si Rong, and he had no way to be there to accompany her.
This is the only way to collect as many precious medicinal herbs as possible and give them to Sirong.
In fact, Sirong was fine. She didn't tell Muchen that she had given birth to a baby in her previous life when she was destitute.
Although it was a test-tube baby, Sirong went through the entire delivery process.
It was not until ten months of pregnancy and the baby was born safely that Muchen finally put his heart at ease when the clear cry echoed throughout the delivery room.
Prince Duan and Princess Duan, who were anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, immediately broke into happy smiles when they heard the baby's cry.
When Prince Duan and Princess Duan saw the midwife bring out a fair and clean grandson, they were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
Prince Duan looked at the child in Princess Duan's arms and murmured to himself, "They look alike, so much alike!" It was not known whether it was just their inner feelings, but this child looked exactly like Li Hao when he was a child.
Prince Duan went to the palace at night, found the old emperor, and asked for an imperial edict to establish his grandson as the heir. Princess Duan went to Liu Ruyi's courtyard again and tortured her.
After coming out of Liu Ruyi's yard, he began to prepare for the baby's third-day baptism ceremony with a refreshed mind.
The current Liu Ruyi is no longer the same as before.
On the night she returned, Mrs. Zhou was killed. The maids she had brought into the palace were also killed, as they were all ordered by the princess to be beaten to death.
The news that Prince Duan was killed by a wild beast in the back mountain of Guanyin Temple spread throughout the capital that day.
The matter reached the old emperor's ears, so when Prince Duan led his men to sweep away Hong Xiuzhao, he did not blame her too much.
The owner behind Hongxiuzhao is actually the property of the old emperor’s third son.
On the surface, it was the business of the Third Princess's family, but in this huge capital city, what could really be hidden from the old emperor who had all the power in the world?
In fact, the old emperor knew very well that his son was secretly running such a brothel.
However, he has always taken a tacit attitude towards this.
He had never appointed a crown prince, and among the many princes, the third prince was one of the sons he valued the most.
His son has grown up and has his own little thoughts, but as long as they don't threaten his position, they don't matter.
After all, it is possible to pass the throne to him in the future.
The third prince was also a smart man. After Prince Duan swept away Hongxiuzhao, he took the initiative to find the old emperor and confessed that Hongxiuzhao was his property.
The purpose is to get some private information about the officials in Beijing.
Although the imperial court had clearly stated that officials were not allowed to visit prostitutes, they had many workarounds in private.
For example, inviting people to your own villa, giving them wine or singing a song as compensation.
After listening to his son's confession, the old emperor was silent for a moment, looking at the third prince with deep eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "You've grown up and have your own ideas and plans. That's good. But you must know that the road to power is thorny and full of obstacles. You must be cautious at every step."
The Third Prince bowed and said sincerely, "I understand your father's teachings."
The old emperor nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
He knew that his son, though scheming, was not heartless and ungrateful. His confession this time also showed that he understood Prince Duan's feelings and would not pursue the matter.
At the same time, he also wanted to go to Prince Duan's house to apologize. It was his own failure to manage his subordinates that led to today's consequences.
He came to see the old emperor to ask his opinion. After all, he was a prince, and it was not appropriate for him to apologize to Prince Duan.
The old emperor was very satisfied with such a son, who knew how to advance and retreat in moderation, how to adapt, and how to weigh the pros and cons.
As long as he is guided well in the future, he will be a qualified monarch.
"Okay, I already know about this matter. You can leave. After all, you are a junior. At Li Hao's funeral, you just need to apologize to Prince Duan." The old emperor waved his hand, signaling the third prince to leave.
After the third prince left, the old emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up again.
What he is considering now is how to balance the various forces in the DPRK and ensure a smooth transition of power in Lingjiang Kingdom.
Seeing his sons and their little movements in secret reminded him of the time when he was the crown prince.
After that, Liu Ruyi lost all her support and no one around her was her true friend.
She doesn't even know whether her mother is still alive or not.
Every time Princess Duan tortured her, she would ask someone to call the court doctor to give her some simple treatment.
No need to cure it, just keep it alive.
Her son died in such agony to save her, with his intestines pierced and ripped apart by wild beasts. She must have endured enough pain before she could die.
There was someone watching her in her yard 12 hours a day, making it impossible for her to commit suicide.
Liu Ruyi found an opportunity to swallow the gold when Sirong's child was having a one-year-old party.
There was a grand banquet in Prince Duan's mansion that day. The maids who were guarding her were lazy and drank some wine. When no one was paying attention, they opened the secret compartment in her room.
That was the place where she hid her gold and silver jewelry. She had used the banknotes and loose change to bribe the maid who was guarding her and gave her normal meals.
Ever since Li Hao's death, Princess Duan's servants have been feeding her rotten food and not a single meal has been normal.
Even if she spent money, at most she could get a few coarse flour buns to eat.
Now, the only thing left in this secret compartment was a pair of gold-inlaid ruby hollow earrings that her mother had given her. The workmanship was so exquisite that she had never been willing to exchange them for food.
Now she was completely hopeless and just wanted to die quickly, so she resolutely swallowed the earrings.
He struggled in bed for several days before dying unwillingly.
