PFC Chapter 198 Return to the Palace
Chapter 198 Return to the Palace
The sound of "bang bang bang" of night watchmen was heard outside, and it was late at night.
Captain Wang then spoke up.
"Madam, we have to make a choice. Do you remember what your husband said to you? You must have a clear attitude today."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuxuan immediately thought of which side to take. After all, she was born into an official family and was not like the ordinary women in the mansions who knew nothing.
Looking at her husband, she asked anxiously,
“My dear husband, I shouldn’t interfere in your men’s affairs, but it involves Sister Qingge.
And we have also made a lot of money doing business. I just want to ask, what do you think? "
Wang Zhenhao clenched his fist and whispered,
"Madam, the battle for succession is a life-and-death battle.
If one day we stand on the wrong side, are you afraid? Not only our family will be implicated, but your family and my family will also be implicated and all will be affected."
"This? Let me think about it."
Captain Wang’s words really frightened Wang Yuxuan. She didn’t speak for a moment, and her hands were shaking when she lay down.

She kept her eyes open until midnight, and then she whispered to her husband, who closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep,
"I will listen to you. If I stand on the side of His Royal Highness, I am not afraid as long as Sister Qingge is here. If I am really unlucky and make the wrong choice, I will die without regrets."
After she finished speaking, she didn't expect Wang Zhenhao beside her to suddenly open his eyes. His pupils were so bright that they didn't look sleepy at all.
"Madam, although I have been secretly on the side of the Crown Prince in some matters in the Beijing Camp, I have never responded to him directly. To be honest, I am worried about you and your mother.
Since fate has made it so, we have to make a choice. If it really comes to that, our whole family must be together no matter what. "
After saying this, he hugged his wife tightly as if saying goodbye.
What Captain Wang, who was holding his wife, did not say was that because of the rumor in the military camp that the emperor favored Concubine Xiao alone, most people had already sided with the second prince.
Captain Wang, who was well aware of the situation in the court and the cruel struggle for the throne, had too many things on his mind, and the couple stayed awake all night.

Let's say,
When the Crown Prince, Fang Qingge and her mother returned to the East Palace, it was already very late.
After getting off the carriage, he changed directly to a sedan chair and entered the Yi Qiu Courtyard of the Eastern Palace without showing his face.
So no one noticed that there were two more children and a kitten.
Nanny Jiang led the two wet nurses into the East Palace without being noticed.
Yiqiuyuan,
Xiao Douzi has heard from his godfather about the love story between the prince and Fang Liangdi, which was full of ups and downs, and how they went through hardships and finally got together.
Besides being pleasantly surprised, I could not help but feel thankful when I thought that he was one of the people who knew about it.
Tonight, he stood outside the gate of Yi Qiu Courtyard with great anticipation.
In the yard, only Xiao Douzi knew that the prince and Fang Liangdi had gone to pick up the children.
The other eight people didn't know. They were still wondering why Xiaodouzi was so absent-minded tonight? !
*
When they saw Fang Liangdi and the prince go out and come back with not only three adults but also two cute little babies and a snow-white kitten, they were all so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them.
The prince took Fang Qingge and the children directly into the main house.
Eunuch Fu looked at the dumbfounded faces in the yard.
"Ahem." He coughed twice as a reminder.
After being surprised, the few people, as if waking up from a dream, followed the instructions of Xiaodouzi and Nanny Jiang and hurriedly added firewood to the fire, served tea and water, and started to serve.
When the masters had finished cleaning up, Fang Qingge also sent the two personal maids out of the room.
*
in the yard,
Nanny Jiang waved to Xiaodouzi, who understood.
In a short while,
Everyone in the courtyard was quietly called into the hall for a meeting. After listening to Xiao Douzi's introduction of the people in the courtyard, Nanny Jiang nodded slightly.
then,
Nanny Jiang cleared her throat and said,
"Let me introduce myself. My last name is Jiang. From now on, you can call me Madam Jiang. I used to be the prince's wet nurse. Now I am the head nanny of our Yiqiu Courtyard.
Xiaodouzi, Liu Pozi and Wang Pozi knew each other before. It has been two years since I left the palace.
I won't say any more nonsense. I hope that everyone in Yiqiuyuan can live in harmony and be united.
"Put your master first in everything, serve your master well, and don't do anything that would betray you. If you are found, you will not be forgiven."
"Yes, I have heard clearly what Nanny Jiang said."
Everyone assured in unison, lowering their voices.
"Okay, you saw the two young masters just now. Yes, they are the twins born to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Fang Liangdi.
But as long as the masters don't let it spread, you just need to know it in your heart and keep your mouth shut and don't let it leak out."
"Here! Don't worry! Madam Jiang."
When several people heard that this was really the biological son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Liangdi, their eyes were filled with ecstasy and excitement. After looking at each other, their mouths were tightly closed.
*
Madam Jiang was very satisfied with their attitude, so she ordered,
"Now let me arrange the division of labor. Qi Wutong and Sun Cuihua, as the wet nurses of the young masters, you will continue to take good care of them.
Xiaodouzi still works as a runner, giving his master an extra pair of ears and eyes and reporting any news in a timely manner.
"Liu Pozi, you take Xiaohua girl and continue to work in the small kitchen. When the young masters come, the stove will be lit at any time."
"Don't worry, Madam Jiang. I'll save the trouble. I guarantee you won't miss meals."
"Well, Wang Po, you should take Xiaocao, Xiaoshu and Xiaomu, the three palace maids, to arrange the laundry and cleaning work. And keep the gate safe."
"Madam Jiang, don't worry! We will definitely do a good job."
Wang Pozi and three young palace maids made this promise.
"Muman and Haitang, you must fulfill your duties as Fang Liangdi's personal maids."
"Well, Madam Jiang, don't worry."
The two senior palace maids nodded in assurance. After learning that their master actually had two children of that age, the smiles on their faces never faded.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's do our jobs!"
"Here."
Everyone's voices were deliberately lowered but were extremely firm.
*
In the main house,
The two children came into the house and looked around curiously with their big eyes blinking, as if they were patrolling their territory.
My sister Xiao Huajiao said with an exaggerated expression,
"Wow! Mom, Dad's house is so big! The yard is big, and the house is big too."
My elder brother Xiao Bajiao also nodded and commented,
"This room is twice as big as the one we live in!"
"Yeah, yeah, brother is right! Mother, are we going to live in this house?"
Little Pepper asked with an excited giggle.
Then she stretched out her little hand to the prince.
"Daddy, give me a hug."
Looking at the delicate little girl, the prince picked her up and said,
"You two's rooms are next door. This is the room where daddy and your mother live."
"Ah? My brother and I don't live here? No no no, I don't want to be separated from my mother."
When Little Huajiao heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and he pouted his lips in unhappiness.
