"You know where Mu Ziyu is?" The other two were somewhat shocked.
The Prince of Jin nodded.
"How did you know?" Qin Li asked curiously.
He had always been very curious about the Prince of Jin's intelligence network.
Unexpectedly, the Prince of Jin raised an eyebrow and said, "You're quite content living off a woman."
Qin Li: Shameless! Shameless!
The audacity he displayed when pursuing Madam Qin is utterly insignificant compared to that of the Prince of Jin.
After they finished discussing their business and left, someone else came later that night.
This is a long-lost relative, Huaishang.
Huaishang clung to the Prince of Jin's leg, on the verge of tears.
Your Highness, you're finally back.
My life is so hard!
Prince of Jin: "Stand up and speak."
Huaishang wiped away his tears and first reported the important matter.
"Your Highness, everything is ready in Dengzhou. If necessary, we can immediately board a ship and cross the sea upon arrival in Dengzhou."
This is the Prince of Prince of Jin's escape route.
I don't want to fail, nor do I want to die trying.
Life is so wonderful, if all else fails, we can always go abroad.
"Furthermore, the Prince of Min's Residence's residence has also prepared ships for a large army to cross the sea to the east, so you don't need to worry."
If you can't win, go conquer Ryukyu; you can still make a living that way.
After finishing their business, the Prince of Jin inquired about the "private life" of the Huaishang.
Huaishang said with a bitter face, "Okay, very good, everything is very good."
The Prince of Jin was amused by his bitter expression. "What's wrong, are you suffering from being burned by money?"
Huaishang could no longer hold back and poured out his grievances. "Your Highness, this is a blessing I cannot bear."
He feared that he would die young and no longer be able to serve the prince.
As for Mianmian, he stopped mentioning her past deeds to avoid being accused of being a grown man dredging up old grievances.
But yesterday, she made four sets of summer clothes for everyone in the mansion, and Huaishang almost couldn't breathe.
Today was even more outrageous; they directly bought out an entire street of shops at inflated prices, just because they were arguing with someone.
Was she just being stubborn?
She's obsessed with money.
Poor Huaishang, who was always Mianmian different from Mianmian, who, after completing all the paperwork for the shops, casually tipped the broker one hundred taels of silver.
Huaishang was so angry that he slapped his thigh repeatedly.
Why didn't she just take a knife and stab him in the heart?
The Prince of Jin, listening to his rambling, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then you should have a good talk with her."
This sugar rooster must have had a really tough time.
Huaishang: "I can't say it, I've wanted to break up with her several times, but my mother told me to get lost."
He almost lost his life trying to get married, and he also lost his mother.
Now, Madam Yao is Mianmian's biological mother, and he is just a pitiful son-in-law who has to be subservient to her.
Prince of Jin: "..."
"Now it's even more complicated, she's pregnant."
There's going to be another person in the family who annoys him.
The Prince of Jin patted him on the shoulder. "Your own woman, be more tolerant. You don't need to be so stingy..."
Huaishang was displeased with this, "Your Highness, I'm not stingy. I just like to be frugal and appreciate the hardships of the past."
Prince of Jin: "Alright, since your wife is pregnant, go back and spend more time with her, be more accommodating. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems, especially since she has mountains of gold and silver of her own."
He couldn't help but recall the time when Tang Zhuyun was pregnant.
Huaishang: Your Highness, I'm not up to it. If something can be solved with money, then solve it with me.
Tang Zhuyun: No need to recall, it's in the present tense.
It seems the child was neglected for the past few months, and when she tried to find him later, Tang Zhuyun vomited violently.
She couldn't eat meat, and couldn't even stand the smell of meat, which was driving Xiu'er and Mingzhu crazy.
Not only meat, but also nutritious foods like fish, shrimp, and eggs, she couldn't eat them at all.
If this continues, not only will the children be affected, but the adults will also collapse.
Xiu'er was so anxious that blisters appeared around the corner of her mouth.
Mingzhu wasn't much better than her.
Mingzhu privately discussed with Xiu'er, "This can't go on."
Xiu'er stamped her foot. "I know it's wrong, but what can I do? I can't just abort the child."
She's straightforward and outspoken, so she doesn't hold back when she speaks.
Then she saw Mingzhu biting her lip, her eyes filled with pain and fierceness.
Xiu'er was startled. "Ancestor, you can't even think about that! The Empress won't allow it! Don't make decisions for her."
Mingzhu said, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Although my sister-in-law is a doctor, she clearly can't see things clearly when it comes to her own affairs."
The child has already been tortured to this extent; this child cannot be kept.
"I won't make the decision for her, but I have to talk to her," she added.
We can't let the pillar of the family be tormented over a child we've never even met.
The most important thing is the person in front of you.
Xiu'er's eyes reddened. "They're all my flesh and blood, how could I bear to part with them?"
Moreover, this is the daughter that the Princess Consort has longed for for so long.
The reaction was so strong this time, it must be a girl; even the Princess herself said so.
"... And after I told her, it made Her Majesty even more upset." Xiu'er wiped her tears with her sleeve. "Let's think of another way."
Mingzhu said, "Haven't we thought of any other possible solutions?"
We made as many dishes as we could find in the sky and on the ground.
However, Tang Zhuyun basically lived on plain porridge, and lost ten pounds in a month.
If she could eat any meat, she would be willing to let Mingzhu and the others cut off their own flesh.
"Miss Huo, Lord Wu is looking for you." As she spoke, the little maidservant timidly came to report.
Mingzhu was annoyed. "No, I'm busy taking care of my sister-in-law, I don't have time."
"No, Lord Wu said he brought a prescription to present to Her Highness the Princess; perhaps it will help."
Despite her skepticism, Mingzhu went out anyway.
Wu Zhenhai felt extremely distressed seeing how much weight she had lost.
--The one in the princess's belly will be born as Nezha.
Nezha, the kind that turns the world upside down.
Look how thin Mingzhu has become from all this trouble.
"I found a prescription, though it's a folk remedy," Wu Zhenhai said, seeing Mingzhu's worried expression, and quickly stepped forward. "But when I looked at it, it was all just ordinary ingredients: jujube powder? And seven or eight other powders mixed together..."
"Will it work?" Mingzhu asked hesitantly.
"I've eaten," Wu Zhenhai said. "It's nothing serious, it's sweet and sour, and tastes pretty good. Why don't you try some first?"
This stuff can't be something men can eat but women can't, right?
"Give it a try. At worst, it won't work, and it won't hurt you," he added.
Mingzhu sighed, nodded, took the oil-paper package from his hand, and thanked him softly, "Whether it works or not, thank you. I'll tell my brother."
Wu Zhenhai: "I have no intention of taking credit, I just..."
He swallowed the words "for you" and replaced them with "want to help."
Mingzhu hurriedly went inside.
Wu Zhenhai watched her retreating figure, feeling a mixture of sweetness and melancholy.
Strangely enough, Tang Zhuyun actually recovered after eating this bizarre thing.
My backache and leg pain have subsided, and my appetite has improved.
Xiu'er was speechless. "Wu Zhenhai, when did you start selling miracle drugs?"
When Tang Zhuyun received the letter from Prince of Jin, she was both touched by Yanran's meticulousness and amused. She quickly replied to them, officially announcing that the family was expecting a new member.
Yanran heard the news, she felt like she had come back to life.
Her mother is alright, and she's going to have a younger sister!
