d and took his hand, saying softly:"All dreams are reversed. You suffered for the first eighteen years of your life, but you will live a carefree and happy life in the second half, with many grandchil...When the prince saw Lianyi, she was leaning on the bed. Lanzhi carefully fed her congee.

When Lian Yi saw the Crown Prince, her eyes turned red and she choked back tears:

"Your Highness, I believe I haven't seen you."

The Crown Prince immediately stepped forward two paces and sat down by the bed, pulling Lian Yi into his embrace. He said with tenderness:

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense, this isn't bad at all Don't say such inauspicious things."

He was very satisfied with the fact that ripples had given him three children, in this regard he was far ahead of his other brothers.

"Your Highness, you wouldn't believe it. I fainted when I saw the last child. My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and in my hazy vision, there was a beam of light that attracted me, pulling me along."

Just as I was about to cross that threshold, I suddenly heard His Highness calling for me. When I turned around, I saw His Highness holding three children and urged me to come back quickly.

"Only now did I realize what was happening. I ran towards Your Highness, but Your Highness turned and left. I simply couldn't keep up with Your Highness's pace. In my haste, that's when I woke up."

Ripple leaned against the prince's arms, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

The prince listened intently and gently patted Lian's back while soothingly comforting her.

It seems Lian Yi is troubled, that's why she escaped this calamity.

Of course, this concubine's heart belongs only to Your Highness. Now, with three children, none can be missing.

The ripples immediately giggled softly.

"Alright, you shouldn't overthink things now. Just open your heart and focus on taking care of yourself. That's the most important thing right now."

The prince said sincerely.

"I understand that once my body has recovered, I will bring the children back."

The ripples immediately laughed and said.

This time, the prince hesitated for a moment. He obviously didn't want to bring the three children back, but he didn't say it now.

The ripples are evident, but she hasn't exposed it. This dog thing doesn't want the child to be close to her. But there's no need to rush now, wait until she "recuperates" before talking about it. She has ways to bring the child back.

After the prince communicated his feelings with Lianyi, he hastily left. He still had to deal with those who plotted against the crown princess. He wouldn't waste his title as prince if he didn't take this opportunity to peel back a layer from his second and third younger brothers.

At this time, the atmosphere in both the Second Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion was extremely low. This was because their plans had failed, and now the Crown Prince had given birth to the eldest grandson before them, which put them at a further disadvantage.

Both parties had arranged for people to take action, but none of them were successful. Now that the person has been captured, they are somewhat on the defensive.

They weren't worried that people who got their hands dirty would drag them into it. Those capable of such acts were tight-lipped, and they had weaknesses held in check. They wouldn't dare to implicate them. However, since this had happened, it was inevitable that some eyes would be turned towards them.

After all, if the prince's offspring had any problems, the results would be most beneficial to them. So recently they decided to keep a low profile.

Although the Emperor was old, he had experienced a struggle for the throne. Although there was no evidence on the surface pointing to his other two adult sons, everyone knew what was going on.

So for a period of time, the Second and Third Princes were reprimanded by the Emperor. He was practically scolding them face-to-face.

The emperor's favoritism has caused even those who were previously fence-sitters to start leaning towards the prince. After all, the prince is the rightful heir apparent to the throne.

Now that the Crown Princess has given birth to three more children, her position is secure. The Crown Princess is backed by General Meng from the border, who holds military power. As long as the Qianglang Tribe remains rebellious, the Emperor will not take back General Meng's authority.

This became the prince's capital and backing, now the child has become the bond between the two families. Even if not for their daughter, for their grandson, General Meng would stand on the prince's side. The situation in the court immediately became clear.

The concubines of the Imperial Harem, both the noble Consort and the kind Lady, were deliberately neglected by the Emperor. They didn't even have a chance to plead for their sons. The two were furious, but they could only lower themselves and visit the Empress every day to show their respect.

Though pleased in her heart, the Empress remained as composed as ever. Just as she had been before, so she was now. Both Consort De and Consort Liang brought up the prince several times, but the Empress ignored them entirely.

The De Fei and Liang Fei were indignant and anxious. When they spoke frankly, the Empress dismissed them with a wave of her hand, saying "The inner court is not allowed to meddle in state affairs." She didn't pay any attention to their back-and-forth arguments at all. Then she pretended to have a headache, senting everyone away.

On such occasions, on both counts, the two noble concubines realized they had overstepped. They could only temporarily cease hostilities, but their frustration remained unfulfilled within them.

Because of giving birth, the ripples' health was affected and she had been recuperating in the East Palace. The Empress exempted her from the daily court greetings, and during this period when there were some fluctuations in the court, the Empress excused all concubines from their court greetings, only meeting them once a month on the first and fifteenth day of each month, citing the need to take care of the imperial grandson.

The harem fell silent for a time, seeming to regain its former tranquility and peace. However, even the maidservants and eunuchs within the palace became more cautious in their actions. The ladies of the court also sensed the undercurrents swirling beneath the surface of this apparent calm.

Over here, ripples are forming. She refuses to let those around her inquire about palace matters. As for others intentionally leaking information to the maidservants and grand-nannies surrounding her, she simply treats it as a joke, without any reaction.

"Your Highness, the old servant feels that there have been some changes in the palace recently. The Imperial Guards patrolling have increased a lot, especially around the East Palace."

Grandma Sun still couldn't help but say to Lian Yi.

Although she had always stayed within the inner courtyard, as a woman in a general's residence, she was still quite sensitive to the movements of samurai foot soldiers.

After hearing this, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the old grandmother sent by the Meng family to monitor her actually had some vision.

"Grandmother Sun, this is the East Palace, where the Crown Prince resides. It should be the safest place. I'm not feeling well right now, so all you have to do is take care of me. Don't ask about anything else."

Ripple said calmly.

"Yes, this old slave has taken note."

Grandmother Sun bowed respectfully and said.

That evening, just as the whirlwind had visited three children, it leaped through a window and brought Ripple an unexpected message.

"Master, the three children are all well, but in two days you won't be."

The whirlwind licked its paws and twitched its whiskers, then spoke.

"What did you hear What do the Queen and the Prince want to do"

The ripples were taking a medicinal bath, not even opening their eyes, and asked directly.

The second and third princes saw that the old emperor favored the crown prince wholeheartedly. Now that the crown prince had three sons, his status was unshakeable. They were preparing to make one last gamble, otherwise, once the crown prince ascended the throne, they would have no chance at all.

Are they going to force a palace coup

Ripple said with certainty.

Yes, and it's a two-pronged attack. Not only are they forcing the old Emperor to abdicate, but they're also planning to have the Crown Prince killed. You and your three children are on their hit list as well.

"Didn't even the prince know"

He knew, and he was prepared to play the game and seize the throne for himself as soon as possible. Sisi. He knew very well that if he beat Feng Sisi today, the Feng family would definitely not let it go. However, if he injured Feng Sisi more severely, even if the other party was dissatisfied, they...
