Chapter 1028: Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't come back after this trip (1 reward)
Concubine Wang naturally understood that Concubine Chun was provoking her, and her eyes suddenly darkened!
But in front of the emperor, she didn't show any of it and still looked gentle.
After entering the main hall, Wangpin personally made a cup of tea for Nangong Xuanyu and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Nangong Xuanyu took it and took a sip.
Wangpin knew that the emperor came to Yikun Palace mainly to visit the third prince. If she wanted to keep this favor for a long time, she had to be good to the third prince.
Wangpin wasted no time and said directly to Xiao Tianzi: "Your Majesty has not seen the Third Prince for so long, he must miss him. Go and ask the nanny to bring the Third Prince over."
Odazi replied "yes" and went out immediately.
Soon, the nanny came in carrying the third prince and saluted the emperor and the princess.
Wang Concubine asked the nanny to stand up and took the third prince from her: "Ah Jing, your father is here to see you, are you happy?"
The Third Prince was still the same, with dull eyes, slow reactions, and he liked to stick his tongue out and drool...
He did not respond to Wangpin's question.
Nangong Xuanyu already knew that the child was abnormal, so he was not surprised or disappointed at this moment.
But the third prince was raised to be plump and fair, with clean clothes and appearance, and when he was held by the princess, he was very dependent on her.
It is obvious at first glance that the third prince is well raised by the princess.
Because of this, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Wang Bin with a much gentler look: "This child is very close to you."
Wangpin naturally sensed the change in His Majesty's attitude towards her, and smiled lightly, "It is said that mother and son are connected by heart. The Third Prince and I are mother and son, so of course the Third Prince is close to me."
Your Majesty is not stupid, so how could you not tell whether a person is sincere in treating children?
It seems that her decision to be nice to the third prince from the very beginning was the wisest decision.
This child... is indeed pitiful.
During this process, Wang Bin had been observing Nangong Xuanyu quietly...
Although both the imperial physicians in the palace and the doctors outside said that there was nothing wrong with the third prince's body, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the third prince was different from a normal child...
She didn't believe that His Majesty hadn't noticed.
But from beginning to end, whenever His Majesty's eyes fell on the Third Prince, there was no change, let alone surprise and confusion.
This confirmed the guess in her mind.
Perhaps from the very beginning... Your Majesty knew what happened to the Third Prince.
The imperial doctors kept silent about this, perhaps at the instruction of His Majesty.
This discovery made Wangpin's heart sink...
It wasn't because if the Third Prince was abnormal, she couldn't use him to win favor. But... she was really worried, what was wrong with Ah Jing's body?
After a while, Princess Wang asked the nanny to take the third prince down to rest.
If you want to know the truth, you can only ask His Majesty.
However, Wangpin understood that if His Majesty did not want to say, even if she asked, she would not be able to get anything out of it, and it would only make His Majesty unhappy.
Therefore, Wangpin could only cautiously test the waters: "...Your Majesty, I know that when the Third Prince was very young, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital examined him and said that there was nothing wrong with him."
"But I am the mother of the Third Prince. I spend a lot of time with him and can notice many details that ordinary people cannot notice. I look at the Third Prince and he seems to be a little slow..."
"But the imperial physician said he was fine. I am really worried..."
The princess's expression was not fake, but a true revelation of her feelings.
It was because of this that a hint of complexity flashed through Nangong Xuanyu’s mind.
It is the third prince’s blessing to meet an adoptive mother who treats him sincerely.
But... no one understands the complexity of human nature better than the emperor.
Even if Wangpin treats the Third Prince sincerely now, if she knew that the Third Prince was a child with Tang syndrome, which is commonly known as a fool in the world, no one can guarantee that she will still treat the Third Prince well as she does now.
Moreover, if such a secret were to spread, it would damage the reputation of the royal family.
Nangong Xuanyu did not answer this question, but looked at Wangpin and said: "As long as you take good care of the Third Prince, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Hearing this, Wangpin's heart couldn't help but sink...
Although His Majesty did not directly state what happened to the Third Prince, she was not a fool, so how could she not understand what he meant?
So...her initial guesses were all correct.
Your Majesty has known this for a long time.
The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were also following His Majesty's orders and did not dare to reveal anything.
The Third Prince... Ah Jing... Her Ah Jing was really not a normal child...
At this moment, Wangpin's heart was filled with heartache and worry.
But His Majesty's attitude gave her peace of mind.
At least in His Majesty's heart, he still cares about the Third Prince.
Even if the third prince is not a normal child, it doesn’t matter.
As long as she can give birth to a healthy and intelligent prince, her son will be able to take care of Ajing in the future and also create a future for her!
Thinking of this, Concubine Wang felt a sense of relief as if the dust had settled in her heart, so that she no longer had to wonder every day what had happened to Ajing.
Wangpin exhaled slowly, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, smiled at Nangong Xuanyu and said, "Your Majesty, it is getting late. I will help you go to bed..."
As she said this, she walked towards Nangong Xuanyu and raised her hands to help him undress.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a noise outside.
The emperor frowned slightly.
Wangpin was extremely dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Tianzi, what's going on?!"
Xiao Tianzi walked in from outside and said with a stiff face, "Your Majesty, it was Yingxiang who was beside Concubine Chun who insisted on asking to see Your Majesty..."
"I told her that you and His Majesty had already gone to bed, but she refused to listen..."
Wangpin's eyes suddenly turned cold!
What tricks is Concubine Chun trying to play? !
Nangong Xuanyu was worried about the baby in Concubine Chun's belly, so he immediately said, "Let her in."
Even though Xiao Tianzi was reluctant, he could only say: "Yes..."
Yingxiang showed a smug smile to Xiao Tianzi, then ran to Nangong Xuanyu and knelt down, anxiously saying: "Your Majesty, I know that you and Lady Wangpin have already gone to bed, and I shouldn't have come to disturb you."
"But just now, the young lady suddenly felt unwell. I was worried and wanted to come over to ask you to go see the young lady, but the young lady refused."
"But I, I am still worried about the young lady... I beg Your Majesty to go and see what happened to the young lady!"
Nangong Xuanyu had seen pregnant concubines using their children to win favor.
But there is no guarantee that Concubine Chun is not really unwell.
He glanced at Concubine Wang and said, "I'll go see Concubine Chun."
"His Majesty……"
Concubine Wang nervously grabbed Nangong Xuanyu's sleeve.
Because she knew that once His Majesty left, he might never come back.
