Chapter 161 There is fetal movement!
The third and fourth princes were frightened to death. Before the palace maid could slap them on the face, the two children fell to their knees on the ground, raised their hands and slapped their cheeks non-stop.
Both children were born to beauties of low status. For some unknown reason, they had been plagued by misfortunes since birth. They almost died of illness in their infancy. After they finally grew up to be able to walk, eat and go to school on their own, they were found to be completely unable to concentrate on listening to the tutor's lectures.
The two princes had extremely weak comprehension and memory, and were stubbornly naughty. Even the tutor who taught them was puzzled. Why couldn't these children, who were obviously normal in intelligence, study hard?
Prince Jiajing was extremely angry about this. Later, Lu Shufang came forward to persuade him, saying that the children's IQ was inherited from their mother of low status. She had not attended school for many years, so it was understandable that the two children did not like their homework.
Lu Shufang also said that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with its own unique characteristics. Even though these two princes had no interest in studying, they would surely develop other strengths when they grew up. They were still young, so they should just be raised well.
Because of Empress Lu's words, Prince Jiajing, for the sake of the two princes' future, specifically gave the two princes' custody to Empress Lu. Now being scolded by Empress Lu, the two children were naturally terrified.
"Prince Yu, have you seen the imperial physician yet? Oh, I almost forgot, Princess Yu is a medical expert herself. Prince Yu, please rest assured, with Princess Yu here, even if you are ugly or blind, she can cure you..."
Lu Shufang couldn't hide her inner ecstasy, and said with a gloating look at Prince Yu, whose face had been completely disfigured.
As the saying goes, when the sky is wild, it rains; when people are wild, they bring disaster. These two previously caused great harm to King Qi, and now they are finally being punished by heaven! I also heard that they are clashing with the Mingye Palace of the Xiao Kingdom! Great, if the Mingye Palace could take their lives, that would be the best!
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. With me here, Prince Yu's injury is nothing! Whether it's on his face or his eyes, I can heal him! Your Majesty, there's no need to worry about it!"
"But if the illness is in the heart, it's very difficult to cure. A rotten heart, liver, and lungs, even if on the surface one appears normal, will inevitably endanger life over time. Your Majesty should know the severity of heart disease!"
Fang Qingqing had been searching all the way over when she heard the slapping sound from afar. She looked up and saw Lv Shufang with a sly grin on her face. She couldn't help but frown, not even bothering to greet him. She simply came over to support Li Zhenting and walked out.
Seeing the two naughty children kneeling in the corner, slapping themselves until their mouths and noses were bleeding and their cheeks were swollen, Fang Qingqing shook her head helplessly.
Since ancient times, the harem has always been plagued by constant disputes. Concubines without natal families to rely on, without power and without the ability to protect themselves, are truly trapped in the sea. Even the custody of the child is not decided by her. Even though she knew that the child would become a victim of the struggle if he was with Lv Shufang, she was powerless to do anything and could only watch them suffer.
"I've heard that the Empress is virtuous and kind. How could she bear to let two children be abused like this? If this matter gets out, I'm afraid my father will be displeased..."
Fang Qingqing snorted coldly.
Hearing Fang Qingqing's words, Lu Shufang immediately became anxious. She stepped forward and kicked the two children to the ground, then slapped each of them twice on the face.
Prince Jiajing had always favored Fang Qingqing, so she would naturally tell the Emperor about her mistreatment of the Third and Fourth Princes. The Emperor had been neglecting her for a series of events. If he knew that the Third and Fourth Princes had been mistreated by her, wouldn't he be even more resentful of her?
In addition, her son Li Huating now relies on large amounts of Ma Fei San to survive because of the pain in his penis and the fact that Princess Yuan Qi had an affair with Wanyan Honglie behind his back. He is drowsy all day and cannot even take care of himself. She is afraid that the emperor will vent his anger on her, and she is afraid that she will lose her position as queen!
She walked out in a hurry. Li Huating's problem had to be solved as soon as possible!
Fang Qingqing supported Li Zhenting and walked slowly out along the Imperial Garden. To be honest, she had never taken a walk with him since she came into this body.
"Why did you come out by yourself? Why didn't you call me..."
Li Zhenting walked forward with his eyes blank and wooden. Although he was blind, his hearing had improved since childhood. He could even tell the direction by the sound of the wind. The reason he walked out without telling her was that he wanted to test this ability of his.
"I'm disfigured and blind. If that's how it's going to be in the future..."
He suddenly stopped and gave a helpless grin.
"Qing'er, I've made up my mind. I agree to divorce you. You can go to the emperor tonight to sign the divorce agreement. After the divorce, I will also give you enough property to raise a child. You can return to Ruyi Garden and live a good life with Madam Fang and Xin'er..."
"If you're worried that the people from the Dark Night Palace won't let you go, I'll ask my father to arrange for guards to protect your safety. Qing'er, you can rest assured..."
The appearance of the Night Palace was by no means sudden; they were simply using the Fang family's affairs as a prelude to eliminate him, the crown prince of Yan. He was now disabled, and he couldn't let her get in trouble anymore.
She was a pregnant mother of two, and even with all her skills, she couldn't handle the assassins of the Dark Night Palace, known for their unorthodox methods. Shang Wu had killed over twenty assassins in one go, and word of this must have reached the Dark Night Palace, who would surely not let this go.
He had been thinking about this since he learned of his injury. If he could divorce her smoothly, she could live a stable life with her children, without having to live in fear of swords and spears.
Now seeing the miserable plight of the Third and Fourth Princes, he felt even more that his idea was necessary. Rather than letting the children live in the heartless imperial family, it would be better to let them live the life of ordinary people.
After a long while without a reply, he faintly heard a sobbing sound.
His heart suddenly felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Ever since she married him, she had been through so many things because of him. Now she was pregnant with twins and her body was inconvenient. She almost fell into the hands of Mingye Palace. He was in this state now. Wouldn't it hurt her heart if he proposed a divorce at this time?
But if she doesn't harden her heart, she will definitely be implicated!
Although he told himself to be hard-hearted and not to be soft-hearted, his arm rose involuntarily, gently stroking her smooth cheek and wiping away the cold tears on her cheek.
"Even if we divorce, I'm still the father of my children. When things are peaceful again, I'll visit them often..."
His hands were suddenly held tightly by Fang Qingqing, and she placed his hands on her bulging belly.
He suddenly felt her belly move slightly, and then his other hand felt the same vibration, like ripples caused by a small fish swimming across the water.
It was as if a feather suddenly brushed across his heart, and he was so nervous that his body suddenly trembled slightly.
"This is, this is..."
"This is our baby moving. In a few months, the baby will be born..."
"Our children cannot repeat our mistakes. We should let our children live in a home with a father and a mother. This is the complete home..."
Fang Qingqing said while choking up.
