Chapter 268 Still alive
Fuqing was the chief eunuch beside the emperor and was well-known for his power.
Not to mention the palace maids, even the concubines had to give him some respect.
The group of people allocated to Lady Yinzhuang were personally selected by Fuqing, and they were even more respectful to him.
"I still don't want to eat."
These people were at a loss.
When they were first chosen, they were happy and thought it was an opportunity to turn things around.
Who knew that this emperor was so picky and so difficult to serve?
Fu Qing dismissed the others and said, "You guys go down first."
Madam Yinzhuang sat aside and watched coldly.
"Madam, you haven't seen the little prince for many days, don't you miss him?" Fu Qing did not force her to eat, but mentioned her youngest son.
Madam Yinzhuang's youngest son, who is also the emperor's youngest son, is an illegitimate child who just celebrated his tenth birthday last month.
"He is a bastard. He should not have come into this world." Madam Yinzhuang did not show any joy when she mentioned her son. Instead, her face was full of disgust and she did not even want to pretend.
"Why is Madam on a hunger strike? What will happen if she leaves the Emperor?" Fu Qing was not in a hurry to tell the Emperor the news he had received. Instead, he wanted to find out her intentions.
He had been with the emperor for many years and knew the position of Madam Yinzhuang in the emperor's heart.
He did not dare to be arrogant in front of Madam Yinzhuang.
Fu Qing thought of the lovable little prince and couldn't help asking, "As a mother, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the prince, you should still protect him. The prince's identity has been revealed, and there are many more dangers around him. Don't you have any concerns at all?"
"Why should he deserve my love and care for an unexpected child?" Lady Yinzhuang was a little excited. "He is not my husband's child. In my eyes, he is a beast."
She tightened her hands in her sleeves and continued to say things against her will.
"In that case, since Madam doesn't love the young prince, she must be thinking about the two children in front, right?" At this point, Fuqing no longer hid it and told the news directly.
"The two children are still alive, Madam, are you willing to starve to death like this?"
Madam Yinzhuang raised her head suddenly. "What did you say? Are the two children still alive?"
"Of course! The emperor truly loves you, how could he bear to make you sad. If you are submissive and serve the emperor well, the whole Dazhuang Dynasty will be at your disposal."
Fuqing saw that this news could make Madam Yinzhuang change color, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Almost all of the emperor's other sons and daughters died in this disaster, leaving only the eighth prince. The eighth prince was injured in the leg. If he cannot recover, you will be the emperor's only heir."
Fu Qing was being polite, but he was already selecting more people to guard in the dark.
The first thing we need to do now is to stabilize Madam Yinzhuang and prevent her from committing suicide and distracting the Emperor.
"So what! I don't want this kind of wealth and glory. Tell me the news about the two children."
Madam Yinzhuang was not interested in the throne. Her family had long been destroyed and she was just living a miserable life. It had nothing to do with her who sat on it.
"Madam, I have a piece of advice for you. If the emperor is happy, he will agree to any request you make. Be nicer to the little prince and smile when you meet him. The other two children will also live well."
Fuqing's words were full of ulterior motives, and Madam Yinzhuang naturally understood them.
"I understand. I won't make a fuss anymore. Where are the two children now? How are they doing?"
"The elder one is quite famous, the younger one is just average, both of them are living well, with fine clothes and delicious food. As for where they are, I don't know, only the emperor knows."
Fuqing only knew these and nothing else.
The emperor should have someone special to keep an eye on these two children.
Madam Yinzhuang wiped away the tears on her face, her face becoming even more beautiful. "Thank you!"
"I don't deserve it! What we do in the future and whether your family can be reunited all depends on my madam. I'll take my leave now." Fuqing quickly turned his eyes away, bowed and left the tent.
When they got outside, the palace servants came up to greet them, "General Manager Fuqing, how is the Madam?"
They were also very cautious towards Madam Yinzhuang, fearing that she would commit suicide and implicate them, the palace maids.
As arrogant as they were before, they are as frustrated now.
They knew that many palace maids had died because of this lady.
These people were driven out by Fuqing and were feeling uneasy.
I was a little excited to see him come out.
"It should be fine now. You go in and serve carefully, and try to make the lady happy. The emperor will naturally reward you." Fu Qing gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.
When the palace maid went in again, Madam Yinzhuang was already eating the food on the table.
They breathed a sigh of relief and came forward to serve.
Madam Yinzhuang allowed them to serve her, but her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
"I can't eat anymore. Bring it down and share it among you!"
With hope in her heart, Madam Yinzhuang naturally had to plan for the future.
If you want to escape in the future, you must make these people relax.
The palace maids didn't dare to leave her alone, so they took turns eating.
Madam Yinzhuang sat quietly on the couch, and the smell of decay on her body magically disappeared.
She wants to live!
Prime Minister Bai came out of the emperor's tent and hurried to the area where he lived.
"Go and call the master. I have something to tell you."
I feel a little dizzy after hearing the news I heard from the Emperor today.
The boy that the emperor placed in his home for foster care turned out to be the emperor's own flesh and blood.
The Bai family's grandfather came in, still wearing a helmet and armor, "Father, what do you want to call me for? I'm still on duty!"
"Hurry up and send someone to bring Yuchan back. Jucheng is going to be in chaos. Also, how do you treat that child in your first house? You must not treat him harshly. He is a prince."
Bai Xiang explained the matter in a few words, but the Bai family's master's face changed, "Prince? Father, are you sure?"
Seeing that he was getting nervous, Bai Xiang's face turned dark. "The emperor said it himself, how could it be false? Did your wife mistreat the child?"
Mr. Bai answered carefully, "How could my wife treat a man who is kept by the emperor harshly? She is just a little cold to him, but she has never been stingy with his food, clothing and other expenses."
"You! A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. I really shouldn't have agreed to let you marry her! If Yuchan's mother were still alive, she would definitely be able to properly arrange for the child."
Prime Minister Bai let out a long sigh. No wonder the Emperor often asked about the child and occasionally let him bring him into the palace. So there was this relationship.
"You should give your wife a good warning and don't let this matter spread." If this child is the emperor's only heir, their Bai family will strive to be the one to follow him.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiang could not hide his excitement, "Leave the child here with me to raise him, don't waste time in the backyard."
Mr. Bai nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything more.
"Yuchan escaped from marriage this time. The emperor will not pursue the matter. Go and bring her back."
Bai Xiang gave the order again.
The Bai family's eldest uncle smiled awkwardly, "Father, this wild girl faked her own death and escaped. I don't know which boy seduced her away."
