Chapter 426 The Wise Prince Kills Song Yin's Child
They were as they always were: he would write, she would grind the ink, and he would tell her what he was writing. Or he would hold her hand and teach her to paint.
It was as if there had never been any discord between them.
When Gui Shan learned that the Prince Xian was with Song Yin, she only asked, "What did Consort Hu say?"
The maid replied, "Your Majesty, Consort Hu is doing well."
Gui Shan frowned. She always felt that Hu Manman wasn't such a docile person, and there seemed to be something she didn't know about.
Ultimately, I'm still worried.
Gui Shan then said, "Let me see the prescription for the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine that the doctor gave to Miss Song Yin."
The prescription was perfect, and the herbs presented by the woman in charge of purchasing were all normal.
However, another steward in charge of the Prince's expenses mentioned, "The Prince sent someone to buy safflower the other day. Some was taken away, but there is still quite a lot left. Safflower is inconvenient to store, so please give instructions, Your Highness."
Safflower promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, and Gui Shan's first reaction was that the Prince Xian was injured.
How could she not know that the wise king hadn't gone out much in a long time and was injured?
"The prince ordered the safflower to be bought? What does he intend to use it for?"
"I don't know."
Gui Shan became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, and quickly got up.
"You may all step back for now."
She lifted her skirt and jogged towards the inner study, her heart pounding.
The prince's sudden kindness towards Song Yin didn't seem unusual to her at first, since he genuinely liked her. However, there was another possibility: the prince didn't intend for Song Yin to have the child.
Things are different now. Hu Manman is powerful now, and although we don't know what methods she used, it's definitely not through women.
The prince was not interested in women; power was far more important to him than women.
Gui Shan was lost in thought. When she arrived at the outer study, she didn't ask anyone to announce her arrival and pushed the door open to go in.
But then they saw Song Yin lying weakly in the arms of the Prince Xian, who held her tightly with tears in his eyes.
There was obvious blood between Song Yin's legs.
Gui Shan was terrified and cried out repeatedly, "Someone, please get a doctor! Please get a doctor quickly!"
She went forward to help Song Yin, only to find that Song Yin was trying to push away the Prince Xian, but she was too weak to do so.
This child was indeed the work of the wise king.
Gui Shan was furious and disregarded her status. She forcefully pushed away the Prince Xian's hand and hugged Song Yin, saying, "I never knew that Your Highness was such a vicious person. The child in Song Yin's belly is Your Highness's own!"
The wise prince let her push him away, his hands and body covered in blood, but he didn't care. He just looked at Song Yin with longing and pain.
Song Yin asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Ah Xu... why!"
The wise king sat on the ground and said in a low voice, "This child... came at the wrong time. Ayin, we will have more children, we will have more. In the future, after the situation stabilizes, you can have as many children as you want, okay?"
Song Yin cried her heart out, and with all her might shouted, "Get out..."
The Prince Xian refused and stepped forward to hug Song Yin. He was strong, and Gui Shan was no match for him.
Fortunately, the doctor arrived very quickly.
Gui Shan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Miss Song Yin is weak. Please have a doctor examine her immediately. Your Highness's presence here will only hinder the doctor's examination."
The wise king carried Song Yin to the couch, but still refused to leave, holding Song Yin's hand and sitting beside her.
After examining the woman and prescribing the medicine, the doctor sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's still early in the pregnancy, and the mother is fine. However, the baby cannot be saved. Your Highness and Your Highness, please remember from now on that pregnant women must never use safflower."
The Prince Xian kept his lips pursed and remained silent. Gui Shan then sent someone to fetch the medicine and carefully asked the doctor what precautions he needed to take.
The doctor suspected that the maid was pregnant with the prince's child, and the mistress, displeased, had given her safflower to induce an abortion. But why did the mistress seem even more concerned about the child than the prince?
When Gui Shan went back into the inner room, she saw Song Yin arguing with the Prince Xian.
Song Yin held the hairpin tightly against her neck: "Xiao Jingxu, those are my children! You killed two of my children! Let me go, let me join them!"
"No, Ah Yin! It's my fault!" The wise king grasped her hand, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.
But Song Yin was just a woman, and her strength was no match for the Prince Xian. The Prince Xian quickly took the hairpin away.
She covered her face and burst into tears.
As for the medicine prepared by the palace maids, she simply spilled it, refusing to drink a drop, let alone eat anything.
He just lay there on the bed, staring blankly at the curtains.
The Prince was frantic, and Gui Shan tried to comfort him, but Song Yin seemed not to hear her. In the end, she just turned her head away, closed her eyes, and ignored them.
Gui Shan sighed and said, "Your Highness, Miss Song Yin is very tired. Let her get some rest first, and we shouldn't disturb her."
The wise prince pursed his lips and walked out, but refused to leave, pacing back and forth in the courtyard. His face was grim, showing some annoyance, but more so a solemn expression.
Gui Shan suppressed her anger inside the room, not letting it erupt until now, when she coldly stared at the Prince Xian.
"Is Your Highness satisfied?"
The wise king was taken aback, probably not expecting that the usually docile Gui Shan would say such cold words.
Gui Shan sneered: "I used to think that Your Highness just didn't care about me, after all, from the beginning, there was only exploitation between us. But I thought that you at least truly loved Miss Song Yin."
“Of course,” the wise king retorted, displeased.
Gui Shan asked, "Really? I thought Your Highness only loved your own power and status! You keep saying you love Miss Song Yin, but what have you done?"
"She is still just a servant. You don't care about her status or her feelings. The only thing you care about from beginning to end is yourself."
The wise king wanted to say that he cared about Song Yin, and that when he had the ability in the future, he would give Song Yin a suitable position; it was just that the time was not yet right.
But then he thought of Hu Manman. If he revealed his plan, Gui Shan, who was on good terms with Consort Wan and was a foolish woman, would surely ruin things.
Suppressing his anger, the wise prince turned and called his personal maid: "Arrange for several maids to take turns watching over Song Yin at all times. If anything happens to Song Yin, you will all be dead."
Mom agreed.
As the wise prince was about to leave, he turned back and saw Gui Shan still standing there, which eased his expression somewhat.
"Gui Shan, you are my principal wife after all. As long as you listen to me, I will not treat you badly in the future. In the entire palace, Song Yin is on good terms with you, so spend more time with her."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Now that he had finished his business, he needed to quickly calm Hu Manman down.
It would be best if Hu Manman gave birth to a son as soon as possible, so that Song Yin could be more at ease.
Gui Shan watched his retreating figure and sighed deeply, unsure whether it was sadness or relief. Although she depended on this man for survival, she had never been moved by him from beginning to end.
Otherwise, she would have to endure the same suffering as Song Yin.
