Chapter 293: The Little Daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion VS His Royal Highness the Noble Crown Prince (82)

“This, this… this little prince…”

Tang Yu’s hesitant words made the old eunuch impatient. He had an aloof status in the palace, so naturally he disdained to talk to a concubine like Tang Yu.

Hearing this, he knocked on the door.

“My Lady Concubine, you only need to bring the little prince out for me to take a look at, and then you can report to His Majesty when you return.”

Tang Yu sighed.

“Yes, that’s the only way.”

Let Nanny Chen put the one-eyed monster, which was still breathing, inside the quilt and move it to the outer room.

The butler is waiting here.

When he saw Tang Yu and Zhou Liangdi, he simply bowed.

Then he turned his gaze towards the small quilt that was wrapped.

Tang Yu, “Don’t be surprised, General Manager. His Majesty has sent the General Manager to help us out. We don’t know what to do in this situation. Please go back and report to His Majesty and the Queen. It’s all our fault.”

The chief eunuch didn’t understand what she meant.

He just wanted to take a look at the little prince so that he could go back and report to the emperor and the empress, Madam Nian, and the crown prince to reassure them. There was no need to report so much.

So he didn’t take it to heart.

Some even felt that the Crown Prince’s favorite concubine was not worthy of being in public. She was so frightened just because she had given birth to a child and the Crown Princess had already delivered the child safely.

How can I be capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility?

But Concubine Yu is the apple of His Royal Highness’s eye, so even if he doesn’t like her, he won’t show it. If she whispers something to His Royal Highness, he, the chief steward, will be dead.

So he responded with a fake smile.

“Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your concern for me. However, the little prince is naturally cute. Even if I am a rootless person and will never have an heir, how can a child be scary? Madam Concubine, you are being too kind.”

Tang Yu lowered his head and did not refute.

The butler raised his head, shifted the whisk to his left hand, and used his right hand to lift the brocade quilt that Nanny Chen was holding.

Just open a corner.

The old steward was so frightened that he took several steps back, and the arrogance that he had just had on his face was no longer there.

There was only terror.

After a while, the old butler came back to his senses, his lips trembling and he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

“This, this, this, this, what on earth is going on? Is this a little prince? The little prince born to the Crown Princess?”

Tang Yu sighed, sadness filling his eyes.

“Butler, the midwives sent by the Queen are all here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them in person. This is the little prince born by the Crown Princess. I really don’t know how to deal with him, so I was glad that Butler Yu came just now.”

After blinking his eyes, the steward still felt like he was dreaming. He saw something.

A one-eyed civet cat with a huge eye in the middle of its forehead, a deformed face, and sparse hair on its body. It was really, really scary.

Forcing himself to be alert, the manager asked the few dazed real estate ladies with a stern face.

“Let me ask you, did you see with your own eyes that this was the prince born by the Crown Princess? There was no deception at all? You should know that this prince has been long awaited by His Majesty, the Queen, and the Crown Prince. This matter will definitely be investigated to the end. If you dare to deceive your superiors and hide the truth from your subordinates, then wait for your entire family to be executed!!”

“Think carefully, whether there was anything wrong just now. If you tell me in advance, I promise that I will plead for you in front of His Majesty and the Queen!”

Several midwives came back to their senses.

He hurriedly looked terrified, and felt terrified when he thought of that scene.

“Sir Steward, I did see with my own eyes the Crown Princess giving birth to this… this monster. I was terrified, it was so scary. The monster even opened its eyes and looked at us. Its pupils were all black, without any white. It was like a black lantern. It was so scary, so scary… so scary…” The steward impatiently interrupted the midwife who kept repeating the word “so scary”.

“Okay, shut up. Tell me, are you sure you saw the same scene as she did? Tell the truth.”

The other midwife was also trembling.

“Yes, yes, it’s the same. That freak even kicked my hand. It’s so terrible…”

“Okay, shut up too.” Seeing that the midwife was about to repeat the four words “How horrible”, the butler interrupted her in time.

I questioned two more midwives, and they gave the same testimony.

The last midwife left had an ordinary look but looked honest and dutiful, and the manager had already believed her for the most part.

“Tell me, is it the same scene that the four of them saw?”

The ordinary midwife raised her head and glanced at Tang Yu calmly, but then quickly retracted her gaze in an instant without anyone noticing.

It just made people think that she was as frightened and confused as the other midwives, with her eyes wandering.

“To reply to the steward, I also saw the same scene. At first, when I touched the Crown Princess’s abdomen, I felt something strange, but I just thought it was the abnormal fetal position. I also told Nanny Chen that the Crown Princess might have a difficult delivery. Until the evening when the delivery was imminent, I touched the Crown Princess’s fetal position again and found that the fetal position was normal again. So I told Nanny Chen again that the Crown Princess would not have a difficult delivery, but…”

The manager was sweating profusely, “Just what? Tell me quickly.”

“It’s just that I found that the shape of the fetus is different from the ones I have delivered in the past. At that time, I thought that the Crown Princess’s child might be defective. I didn’t expect it to be a freak. It’s so terrible…”

Butler, “Shut up, don’t repeat the words ‘too scary’, I know it.”

He took a deep breath. Today, his old bones were almost scared to death.

“Empress Concubine Yu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty, and several key ministers are discussing state affairs, so they cannot return for the time being. I hope that Empress Concubine will keep the news secret. This…”

Tang Yu nodded immediately.

“I know, I know. I will try my best to prevent this matter from being spread. I hope the steward will report it as soon as possible so that we can make a decision. Thank you for your help in this trip.”

Tang Yu was very polite and warm-hearted, which made the old steward, who had just looked down on Tang Yu in his heart, feel embarrassed.

He was almost frightened to death just now.

This concubine is so young but she is still trying hard to hold on to the situation. He really admires her.

“Yes, I will take my leave and report to His Majesty, the Queen, and the Crown Prince.”

After the old steward left, the maids in the Xingyue Palace continued to be busy. Tang Yu warned everyone not to spread the matter.

Zhou Liangdi kept staring at her, as if she was staring at her to death.

“What’s wrong, Sister Zhou? You’re not feeling well. Go back to the palace. I’ll ask the imperial physician to check your pulse later. You’ve looked a lot more haggard lately, and I’m really worried.”

Zhou Liangdi had a pale face and prominent cheekbones.

“Tang Yu, what on earth are you doing? I don’t understand you. What on earth are you trying to do?”

Everyone around was busy and no one paid attention to this place.

Tang Yu smiled.

“What are you talking about, Sister Zhou? I don’t understand.”

Zhou Liangdi didn’t want to continue pretending to be a close sister to her, and didn’t want to play dumb with her. She was tired of this kind of life.

She said directly, “No matter what your plan is, as long as the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the Duke’s Mansion don’t fall, the Crown Princess will always be the Crown Princess, and you will always be a concubine, never able to step onto the stage, a concubine like me.”

“My Lady Concubine, My Lady Crown Princess is awake!” came the voice of the little maid.

Tang Yu answered distractedly, “Okay, I got it, I’ll be there right away.” Then he whispered slowly into Zhou Liangdi’s ear.

“Then we’ll see.”
