Chapter 884: Good News!
Chapter 884: Good News!
A look of disbelief flashed in Gu Huan'er's eyes. "Hasn't Princess Liang been married for several years and still hasn't conceived a child? Many people believe she can't have children."
"Your Highness, this news is indeed very sudden. It just came out today, and we are still unsure whether it is true or false."
The maid's expression was complicated. "When I heard the news, I went to ask if it was true or not. It was said that Princess Liang was unwell and a doctor was specially invited to see her. As a result, it was discovered that she was pregnant."
"After being disfigured, Princess Liang should have fallen out of favor, but unexpectedly, she has such good luck."
His Highness Prince Liang has no children yet; this is his legitimate son. As long as the child is safely delivered, even if Princess Liang is disfigured, she will still have someone to rely on in the future.
Gu Huan'er's personal maids all felt sorry for her. Their young mistress had become pregnant not long after getting married, which should have been a joyous occasion, but she was framed by the people of the Liang Prince's Mansion.
The baby in her womb is still very young and could very well die, but the person who started this whole thing is pregnant herself. No one could accept that.
Gu Huan'er's face darkened; she felt that things weren't so simple.
"Why did Qi Qingyi get pregnant now of all times? Could it be fake?"
Now that she is married and has experienced so much, her mindset is completely different from before. She is no longer as naive as she used to be, and she doesn't just look at things superficially.
According to his own lord, Prince Liang is currently in a lot of trouble, but if Princess Liang is pregnant, perhaps the Emperor will make an exception for the sake of the child.
"fake?"
The two maids looked at each other in dismay. If it was really a lie, then that would be quite a big deal.
Chu Yungui brought the tonics into the room and saw Gu Huan'er seemingly lost in thought. He asked, "Huan'er, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Huan'er raised her eyes and glanced at the two maids. The maids immediately and tactfully retreated, closing the door behind them.
Seeing this, Chu Yungui knew something must have happened, and sat down in front of him with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Gu Huan'er shook her head. "I just heard the news that Princess Liang is pregnant."
Chu Yungui was slightly taken aback, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, "Qi Qingyi is pregnant? Didn't she get disfigured recently?"
"This news just came out today. Do you think it might be fabricated to save Prince Liang from punishment?"
Gu Huan'er looked serious. In the past, when her parents told her about the cruelty of the royal family, she never took it to heart, thinking that things were not that serious.
However, after experiencing these things herself, she gradually realized that she had been too naive.
Chu Yungui understood her meaning and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible, but besides that, I think there's another possibility."
"What's possible?"
“Naturally, it’s all for the sake of winning favor.” Chu Yungui raised an eyebrow. “I never realized that the Prince of Liang had such wolfish ambitions. He hid them so well. I even thought it was really difficult for him, given that he had been in poor health since childhood.”
Now that he knows he's kept this a secret all along, and considering Qi Qingyi's personality, he would absolutely never tell her his plans.
Chu Yungui carefully analyzed the whole matter, "Qi Qingyi is not steady in her actions and likes to show off. She can't keep secrets at all."
If the King of Liang had told her, the matter would have been exposed long ago.
Now that she is disfigured and rejected by the King of Liang, she will try to salvage the situation, and pregnancy is a woman's ultimate weapon.
"Whether her husband dislikes her or not, he will not be indifferent to their offspring."
Chu Yungui now understands Liang Wang quite well. Since he is ambitious, he must care about having offspring.
Gu Huan'er nodded. "I originally thought that husband and wife should be one, but perhaps she deliberately spread this news because she saw that the Prince of Liang was trapped."
Now it seems like it was just a coincidence, and I was overthinking it.
As she spoke, Gu Huan'er suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you think it's true or false that she's pregnant?"
"I'm not sure about that."
Chu Yungui frowned slightly. Pregnancy was something that couldn't be faked in ordinary families, but he had grown up in the palace and had seen a lot of the tricks of vying for favor.
Pregnancy is often used as a means to gain favor, and may not necessarily mean that the person is actually pregnant.
Gu Huan'er pouted, a deep resentment rising in her heart. "They've ruined me like this, yet they have a child themselves. Fate is so unfair!"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Yungui's eyes. "Huan'er, I won't let you suffer in vain."
When Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting returned to the Yunwang Mansion, it was already dark.
"Royal brother, royal sister-in-law, why are you so late?"
Chu Yungui looked surprised, but seeing the two of them looking travel-worn, he suddenly understood something:
"You guys haven't been busy with interrogations in the prison until now, have you?"
Chu Junting nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Thanks to your sister-in-law, we came here specifically to tell you this good news."
When Gu Huan'er heard that Song Ruozhen and the other person had arrived, she rushed out and heard the good news. Her eyes lit up with anticipation.
"What good news?"
Upon seeing Gu Huan'er, Chu Junting swallowed back the words that were about to spill from his mouth. Just as he was about to make up an excuse, he heard Chu Yungui say:
“Brother, there’s no need to hide it anymore, Huan’er knows everything.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen were slightly surprised, but considering that there was already good news, it wouldn't hurt for Huan'er to know.
"Zhen'er successfully located the woman's whereabouts through questioning Master Xuanyang."
After these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the courtyard.
After they came to their senses, their faces immediately lit up with delight.
"Brother, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Chu Yungui was somewhat incredulous. He had been hoping for good news every day recently, but the woman was well hidden, and the King of Liang's methods in this regard were not to be underestimated.
Despite spending a lot of time and effort, they still haven't found any definite news.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you about something this important."
Chu Junting patted Chu Yungui on the shoulder, "We went looking for that person after we left the palace. He was hiding outside the city, and we've found him now."
Gu Huan'er covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Song Ruozhen with emotion, "Cousin, thank you so much!"
"I thought I wasn't meant to be with this child and might not live to see him born safely."
"Don't be silly, such a good child will definitely be born safely."
Song Ruozhen held Gu Huan'er's hand, her delicate eyes filled with a smile, "Don't worry, after bringing the person back, I will use my magic to return everyone to their places."
