Chapter 94 The Crown Princess Dies

The Crown Princess Guaerjia went there.

Yihuan was very shocked to receive the news. She knew that the Crown Princess had been taking care of her health for the past year. Although it would have an adverse effect on her offspring, it had nothing to do with her life span. There were also imperial physicians in the palace who specifically took care of the Crown Princess's health. How could she pass away so suddenly?

The Crown Princess's illness struck very suddenly. She coughed up blood and fainted in front of the Crown Prince's window. She died before the imperial physician arrived.

The prince was so grief-stricken that his headache symptoms, which had lasted for more than a month, miraculously recovered.

The imperial physician concluded that the Crown Princess died suddenly from overexertion and exhaustion.

How to say it, Yihuan also saw some news in her previous life, saying that a doctor from a certain university died suddenly after four days and three nights of sleepless experiments. She felt that these people should have some heart diseases and died of suffocation due to lack of blood supply to the brain.

The Crown Princess had a ruddy complexion and spoke forcefully before, it didn't look like she would die suddenly after taking care of an ill person for more than a month.

Besides, she is one of the two bigwigs in Yuqing Palace. Although she is said to be taking care of the sick, there is actually not much she does personally. She just shows up in front of the prince all the time, and the real hard work is done by the maids and eunuchs. How can she really work the Crown Princess to death with this?
However, the palace had already made its final decision, and the Crown Prince wrote several articles in grief to mourn the Crown Princess. For a time, people from all walks of life in the court and the country were all sighing at the Crown Prince's affection for the Crown Princess.

The ten-day examination was suspended that day. Hongxi and Hongjin went back to mourn for the Crown Princess, kneeling in mourning and holding banners. They had no time to bother with Honghui.

However, when Honghui came back and told Yihuan privately, his two brothers Hongxi and Hongjin did not show any sadness at all. They only pretended to be calm in front of the crown prince, and did not shed a single tear at other times.

The funeral of the Crown Princess was much more grand than the one when the wife of Prince Zhi died. Yihuan brought the eldest princess, Honghui and Hongyun to burn incense for the Crown Princess.

The concubines that the Crown Princess usually looked down upon were kneeling on both sides and crying bitterly. Yihuan sniffed carefully and found that the air was filled with the smell of ginger and chili. It must be that these people really couldn't cry, so they resorted to external means.

After the worship, Yihuan planned to take the children to Yonghe Palace. Dong E, wife of Prince Cheng, came over and said, "My sister-in-law is going to Yonghe Palace. Let's go for a while. I will also take them to pay respects to mother."

The children consciously fell a few steps behind, leaving enough distance for Yihuan and Dong E to chat.

"What do you think?" Dong E pointed behind her and said in a low voice.

"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a deep love for each other. I only hope that if the Crown Princess is still alive, she can come into the Crown Prince's dreams and comfort his grieving heart." Yihuan said slowly.

Dong E sneered: "You are such a mischievous ghost. If this really is a dream, you will be scared to death."

Yihuan heard someone calling her from behind and stopped immediately. Everyone knew that the Crown Princess's departure was suspicious, but could such things be said in the palace? Dong E liked gossip, but it was really inappropriate for the occasion. Hongqing and his mother were ten times as similar in this respect.

"Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law." The person behind was none other than the Fourteenth Lady. She was also going to the Yonghe Palace and was on the same route as Yihuan.

"Fourteenth brother's wife, you've come at the right time. Last time I came to pay my respects to the Empress, you were not feeling well and didn't come. The Empress is worried about you." Yihuan glanced at Wanyan's waist, which was a little too wide, and had some guesses in her mind.

As expected, Wanyan straightened her back and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I came here today to give mother the good news. Although our master doesn't allow us to tell you, you are all my sisters-in-law, so let's talk quietly. I have been pregnant for more than a month."

"This is good news, congratulations." Dong E rolled her eyes slightly. There was nothing to brag about. She was not from the Fourteenth Mansion.

"This place is close to the Empress' palace. I'll go first. You two sisters, please walk slowly." After saying that, Hong Qing and Hong Sheng followed her.

"Are you feeling unwell on a day like today? The funeral hall is filled with smoke, don't be stubborn." Yihua asked with concern. "Thank you, fourth sister-in-law, this child is very well-behaved and never makes trouble. I feel better than ever." Wanyan touched her belly and said happily.

Yihuan thought that if the baby hadn't taken shape for more than a month, it didn't mean it wouldn't make trouble. It would have to be at least four or five months old before it started to somersault in the belly.

"Well, if there's anything you want, just send someone to my house and I'll find it for you." Yihuan said these polite words. Concubine De would give the same order later anyway, so she might as well say it first and do her a favor.

Sure enough, when Concubine De heard the good news about Wanyan, she couldn't stop smiling, and Yihuan became a complete background figure.

"Liuliu, look at Aunt Fourteen's belly. Is there a little brother or sister inside?" Defei coaxed Liuliu. It is said that children have sharp eyes and can see things that adults cannot see. What they say is basically true.

Liuliu wanted to speak but was interrupted by Yihua: "Replying to the Queen, what does Liuliu know? Sometimes she can't even tell whether she is a boy or a girl, and she just goes crazy."

"Liuliu, are you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep with Nanny Lu?" Yihuan lowered her head and glanced at Liuliu.

When the little girl received the message from her mother, she immediately yawned and looked up: "Mamu, Liuliu is sleepy."

"Go to sleep." Upon hearing this, the eldest princess reached out to hug Liuliu and personally sent her to the side hall.

After paying his respects to Concubine De, Honghui followed the eunuch to look for Yinzhen, leaving only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the palace.

Concubine De looked unhappy: "There is good news at the Fourteenth Prince's house, and the Fourth Prince's house should hurry up. Two sons are still not enough. As a concubine, you should persuade the gentlemen to share the rain and dew equally. This is your duty."

"Yes, daughter-in-law, listen to the instructions."

Defei's words openly expressed her dissatisfaction with Yihuan, and secretly warned Wanyan. After all, she had a big fight with the Fourteenth Master when she was newly married, and the lawsuit even reached Yonghe Palace.

Yihuan deliberately didn't let Liuliu answer. The so-called children being smart and clear-eyed were all nonsense. If she had mentioned younger sister, both of them would be unhappy. If she had mentioned younger brother and younger sister came instead, she would still blame Liuliu for talking nonsense.

What's worse, if Liu Liu really said it right this time and it gets out, she will have a bad reputation in the future. Why bother to get involved in gossip?

"The Crown Princess was unlucky. She passed away without leaving any offspring. Recently, the capital city will become bustling again. I guess the Emperor already has an idea of ​​who will be the next Crown Princess." Having said this, Defei glanced at Yihuan meaningfully.

Yihuan was a little confused. She couldn't be the daughter of their Ulanara family.

A month later, Yihuan finally understood what Concubine De meant.

Kangxi issued an edict to marry Tong Guining as the new Crown Princess, and the wedding was held on an auspicious day.

Who is Tong Guining? She is the legitimate daughter of a branch of the Tong family. She has never been assigned a marriage. Her family originally wanted to lobby for her to be allowed to marry on her own, but most of the Tong family went bankrupt, so she was left there and has not been married yet at the age of nearly 20.

Life's circumstances are so magical that a poor person who was ignored by everyone suddenly becomes a princess.

Tong is such a nice surname!
