Chapter 615 Return Home
The next day, when it was time to leave the palace, Fei Wan took people to Fengming Palace.
I was surprised to find that Gu Shuer had also packed up and was ready to set off together.
"The Queen asked me to go back to the Duke's Mansion to take a look." She was very happy.
Fei Wan looked at her belly.
The weather started to get hotter, but she still wore a cloak to cover her body.
But Fei Wan knew that if she lifted her cloak, she would see that her belly was bigger than before.
She didn't really lose the child, it was just to lure the snake out of its hole.
Queen Yan also knew about this matter.
Why do you still want to take Gu Shuer to the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion?
Obviously, after testing and investigation, it has been confirmed that the Duke of Zhenguo and Concubine Fan had some connection with the accusation.
Isn't it dangerous to bring Gu Shuer back to the Duke's Mansion?
When she and Gu Shu'er arrived at Fengming Palace, while Linglong was taking Gu Shu'er to choose the carriage decorations, Fei Wan asked Queen Yan:
"Shu'er, was it your sister who suggested that you go back?"
"No."
"That is?"
"It's Your Majesty."
Fei Wan was puzzled: "Why?"
Empress Yan smiled sarcastically, "He told me that Shu'er has been missing her family and must be concerned about the Duke's injury, but her position doesn't allow her to visit her family, so why not take this opportunity to go back with them? I tried to persuade her, but to no avail."
Is that so?
The emperor knew that Gu Shu'er was pregnant. In fact, it was he who took the initiative to ask Shu'er to fake a miscarriage and persuade her to cooperate.
The purpose is to bring out the designer behind the scenes.
Now, although the emperor has not yet found out that the Duke of Zhenguo has had any contact with the bandits, he is obviously suspicious of him.
He sent his pregnant concubine to someone with ulterior motives, and this concubine was believed by the outside world to have miscarried...
Isn’t he afraid of danger?
If anything goes wrong, it will be difficult to hold the Duke's Mansion accountable, after all, Concubine Ling has already had a miscarriage!
The sneer on Empress Yan's face showed that she had already seen through the emperor's coldness.
Nothing is more important than the imperial ambition in his heart.
He'll take advantage of everything.
Fei Wan said: "In that case, we should protect her well."
Gu Shuer still didn't know that there was something wrong with the Duke of Zhenguo.
She was a person who could not hide her true feelings, and her expression could easily reveal them. Therefore, in the whole incident, she only pretended to have a miscarriage according to the emperor's orders, and blamed Queen Yan for killing her child. She knew basically nothing else.
When the time came, the group set off and arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
This visit wasn't a grand one, but a quiet one, so the entourage was light and unassuming. Secretly, she was accompanied by a few guards in casual uniform, accompanied by Jingzhao Prefecture officials and soldiers from the Nine Cities Camp. Outwardly, there were only a few carriages, flanked by servants and guards, like a trip for a wealthy family.
No one was disturbed along the way.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not publicize it to the outside world. It just closed its doors to visitors that day and quietly welcomed Feng Jia to the mansion.
Fei Wan followed Queen Yan out of the car at the inner residence of the Duke's Mansion and was greeted by everyone in the mansion.
Then they settled down in a spacious courtyard that had already been cleaned up.
The Duke of Zhenguo was carried into the house on a rattan bed to meet Queen Yan and his entourage.
Gu Shuer saw that his arm was in a splint and his leg was wrapped in thick gauze, which was not even covered by the hem of his clothes. She was shocked and said, "Is he injured so badly? The Tartars are really abominable!"
"I'm sorry to have worried Concubine Ling. My injuries have healed well and I'll be able to move around as normal in a while. Don't worry. It's Concubine Ling who should take care of yourself. After your accident, your whole family is heartbroken."
The Duke of Zhenguo spoke very appropriately.
Who would have thought that he was the one who caused this serious injury?
Who would have known that there was temptation in his eyes when he looked at Gu Shuer.
Gu Shuer gathered her cloak with her hands: "I'm fine, I'm just afraid of the cold, so I have to wear more clothes."
Princess Qinghe said, "This is what it's like to be in confinement after childbirth. Please take good care of yourself. You shouldn't be out and about doing this, but after this, we don't know when you'll be able to come back. It's best to come back and see us. Your family misses you so much."
"I know. I miss it here too."
Gu Shuer's eyes were red.
She walked over and hugged her sister.
Asked to go back to the room where I originally lived to take a look.
Empress Yan said, "I will stay here with my father and mother. Sister Imperial Noble Consort, you will accompany Shu'er."
Fei Wan supported Gu Shuer and went to a courtyard across the street from the rear residence of the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Shuer's brother-in-law was Empress Yan's cousin, and he didn't live in the palace. After he got married, he was given a large house in the back street. After Gu Shuer went to live with her sister, she lived in this house.
Returning to the boudoir where she used to live, Gu Shuer wiped away her tears with joy.
"Stop crying. It's not good for the child's growth." Fei Wan whispered in his ear.
"Miss Shu!" A round-faced maid jumped in.
"Nice to meet you again! How have you been lately? Are you okay?" Gu Shu'er was very happy to see her former maid, and the first thing she gave her was a small gold ingot.
Hug each other.
However, she carefully held her belly in to protect her child, and only held him for a moment before letting go.
The round-faced maid smiled and said, "It's still the same as always. I'm just a servant. No master is as good to me as Miss Shu."
The two chatted and reminisced for a long time before the maid took her leave.
Gu Shuer lay on her old bed and slept for a while. When she was woken up, she was very reluctant and left reluctantly.
Fei Wan supported her and whispered, "You are not greedy for this place, but for freedom. When there is a chance in the future, I will help you leave the palace and seek freedom."
Gu Shu'er subconsciously touched her belly and nodded, "When I leave the palace, I will find a way to bring all the servants who used to serve me with me and free them from slavery."
Fei Wan had promised her that if she still longed to leave the palace after the child was born, she would find a way to fulfill her wish. When she missed the child, she could visit the palace anytime.
Gu Shu'er loves the baby in her womb, but she's not sure if she wants to raise it after it's born. If she doesn't, she'll give the baby to Empress Yan or Fei Wan to raise, and she'll come back to visit regularly.
She had long planned to travel around the world and bring her friends with her.
Including the maid I just met.
What she didn't know was that as soon as the round-faced maid left her, she hurried to report to the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Your Majesty, I have found out that Concubine Ling is indeed pregnant. When we hugged each other, she deliberately hid herself, but I still felt that her belly was quite big."
The Duke of Zhenguo was originally talking to Queen Yan, but he came out in the middle of the conversation on the pretext of changing the dressing on his wound, just to wait for the results of the servants' investigation.
"Well done, reward."
The Duke of Zhenguo praised it and asked people to give rewards.
The maid received two silver coins and thanked the master quickly.
Inwardly, she felt a little regretful for having informed her master, the Duke of Zhenguo. Miss Shu'er's first move was a gold ingot, and she didn't have to do anything. The Duke of Zhenguo, however, sent her away with a hollow silver coin.
Suddenly, I heard the Duke of Zhenguo say, "If you can accomplish this, there will be a silver ingot as a reward for you."
"Please give your orders, my lord." The maid bowed her head.
"Go find a way to get Lingpin's belly..."
The Duke of Zhenguo made a gesture to eradicate the problem completely.
The maid was startled.
