PFC Chapter 198 Favor
Chapter 198 Favor
Prince's Mansion.
"Why didn't you destroy the Bai Mansion back then?!" Shen Bishui walked in aggressively. Prince Zhou Huangquan was leaning on a recliner, letting his maid feed him fruit.
Seeing her coming back, Zhou Huangquan waved his hand to signal the maid to leave. He stood up, swayed to Shen Bishui's side, sat down and hugged her: "Hey, who messed with my crown princess?" As he said this, he touched her face teasingly.
Shen Bishui was in a bad mood and slapped his hand away: "The second young master's wife of the Bai family, Tang Wanru!"
"What do you want to see her for?" Zhou Huangquan asked.
"She had a prescription in her hand, and I heard that it could help with pregnancy, so I wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect her to be so eloquent and even asked me to apologize to the Bai family! I'm a princess consort, how can I ever apologize to anyone? She's going too far!" Thinking of what happened today, Shen Bishui was still extremely annoyed.
"The Bai family is indeed difficult to deal with." Zhou Huangquan recalled what happened before, "Otherwise Bai Yanli would have died at my hands last time."
"How can he, a merchant family, be so difficult to deal with?" Shen Bishui didn't understand.
"The King of Wei is one of the reasons for his support." Zhou Huangquan said, "Bai Yanli also has a very powerful team in private, otherwise the King of Wei would not rely on him."
Hearing this, Shen Bishui became even angrier. She couldn't swallow the anger she had encountered in Bai Mansion today.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Huang Quan, I discovered something when I went to Prince Wei's mansion today."
"Oh?"
"Since we can't deal with Bai Yanli, we can start from other places to bring down the Bai family." Seeing the prince's curious face, she stepped forward and said, "Bai Yanli and that Tang Wanru are indeed difficult to deal with, but the Bai family has a brother named Bai Songrong. He and his wife are soft persimmons. It will be much easier if we start from here."
Shen Bishui's words reminded Zhou Huangquan, and he thought this method was not bad.
He turned to look at Shen Bishui and said with a smile: "Didn't you go there to ask for the prescription? Why are you asking me for military intelligence?"
"You." Shen Bishui felt better when she saw him looking at her like this. She hit him coquettishly and said, "I don't know how you are so lucky. You have your mother to help you in the palace, and I to help you at home, and you are still not satisfied."
Zhou Huangquan was so embarrassed by her that he laughed: "I am content, I am content. How dare I not be content?"
Having said that, Zhou Huangquan pushed her down.

White House.
Ye Qinghe sat alone in the room, with a bowl of steaming medicine on the table. But she couldn't drink it at all, she sat there blankly, holding a handkerchief in her hand.
Just at this time, Bai Songrong came back.
It was already evening and it was getting dark. Seeing that the room was dark, Bai Songrong asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you light a lamp?" As he spoke, he went to light a lamp.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands hugging him from behind.
The soft little hands belonged to Ye Qinghe. She put her arms around him and leaned her slender body against his back, as if she felt safe this way.
Bai Songrong gently pressed her hand: "Ah He, what's wrong? What happened?"
His wife had always been a bit sensitive. She was kind and fragile, and even though she was the mistress of the house, she seemed to be able to keep her composure on the surface, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not her nature.
"Songrong." Ye Qinghe's voice was filled with sobs, "I'm sorry Wanru."
Like?
Bai Songrong was amused. Although he had not had much contact with Tang Wanru, he knew that she was kind to her family. What was Ye Qinghe thinking about?
Bai Songrong gently held her hand and turned around. Seeing that she was crying with tears in the corners of her eyes and traces of tears on her thin face, she looked even more lovable. He smiled and said, "Then tell me, how have you done anything wrong to Wanru?"
She glanced at the medicine bowl on the table with tearful eyes and said, "I can't drink that medicine."
"If you can't drink it, then don't drink it." Bai Songrong was amused by her little wife, "Then drink it tomorrow."
When she said this, Ye Qinghe cried even more aggrievedly. She pouted her lips and tears kept falling like beads from a broken string. "I can't drink it tomorrow either. Wanru carefully brought me medicine every month, but I never drank a single sip. Now Wanru is troubled by the Crown Princess for bringing me medicine. She has paid so much for me, but I let her down... wuwuwu."
After saying all these words out loud, Ye Qinghe could no longer hold back and burst into tears in his arms.
Rather than the grievances she cried about, he thought she was cuter, so he held her with one hand.
I couldn't help but smile.
How come he married such a delicate and lovely young lady?
"So that's why." Bai Songrong rubbed her head and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Then tell me why you didn't take the medicine."
Having said this, Ye Qinghe suddenly stopped crying. She suddenly grabbed his sleeve and looked up at him.
Bai Songrong stared at her deeply, waiting for her answer.
Ye Qinghe wanted to say something, but she felt like her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't speak for a while.
"Aho?"
A trace of despair emanated from her pupils, and the despair spread everywhere, causing the smile on Bai Songrong's face to disappear little by little.
She bit her lip and finally said, "Because I know that I won't be able to get pregnant even if I try again."
"Songrong." She tightened her grip on his clothes a little bit, as if she had used up all her strength, "I will never have a child in my life."

Bai Mansion, Qingyu Courtyard.
Tang Yue'er and Liu sat together. Tang Yue'er stroked her four-month pregnant belly and said, "Mom, don't worry. I have bribed the palace doctor of the Marquis' Mansion. The baby in my belly is now six months old. There is no problem at all."
"He also prescribed me some Chinese medicine that could help the baby grow quickly. I told them it was a pregnancy-maintaining medicine. I took it on time every day. When the baby was born, although it was only eight months old, it was no different from a full-term fetus."
Liu nodded. Now that things have come to this, what else can be done? It is best not to let the Marquis's Mansion know.
"What about the Zhao family?" Liu asked, "The child in your belly is that Zhao Huandi's, he doesn't know, right?"
"Of course I don't know." Tang Yue'er said, "How could I let them know?"
"Yes, yes, you dare not." Liu said, "If the Zhao family knew about it and told the Marquis' Mansion, it would be the end of us."
"Besides, Brother Zhao Huan is a troublemaker. If he starts making trouble, your world will fall, Yue'er." Liu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, mom. I know what I'm doing about this." Tang Yue'er replied.
At this moment, Liu Qiu ran in angrily from outside and said, "Isn't it just knowing a lady in the palace? What's so great about it? Why is it so great?"
Tang Yue'er was stunned: "Liu Qiu, what happened?"
Liu Qiu looked back and found that he was too angry just now and actually rushed into the room shouting. Seeing Tang Yue'er asking, Liu Qiu lowered his head and said nothing.
"What happened?"
"It was the servants of Changfeng Court. They said that the eldest lady came to the palace and met the queen, and now her position is higher than yours, the wife of the prince. I was really angry when I heard it, so I cursed at her."
"Tang Wanru met a lady?" Tang Yue'er didn't know about this.
Liu said, "Yuer, don't you know about this? When Tang Wanru came to chat with Lin Yunrou that day, she mentioned that she had met Empress Chen in the palace. Empress Chen also gave her a jade pendant, as if she liked her very much."
"Tang Wanru?" Tang Yue'er frowned. The Bai family didn't have any official positions, so how could Tang Wanru go to the palace?
"That's right." Liu guessed, "It must be because of the relationship with the King of Wei that she followed the second son of the Bai family into the palace. You also know that the status of the King of Wei is different now. The emperor seems to have taken a new look at him and attaches great importance to him."
"It is possible that she entered the palace because of this."
Thinking of this, Liu asked, "Yuer, do you have a favorite queen in the palace?"
She has a fart!
Tang Yue'er's face turned dark when she was asked. Since she entered the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Du had never taken her anywhere, let alone introduced her to the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liu guessed most of what happened. She told her, "Yuer, if you have the chance, you should meet the important people. You are preparing for your escape every day, but it's not as good as a word from the people in the palace. If someone is willing to protect you, even if something happens to the Marquis' Mansion, you will be safe."
Tang Yueer frowned slightly.
She couldn't think that far ahead about this matter now.
The only thing she was unwilling to accept was why Tang Wanru was favored by the Empress in the palace.
