Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Chapter 137 Mi Qing predicts again

Prince Gong, petrified.

"Twenty-first, October twenty-sixth..." Prince Gong murmured, his thoughts drifting away, recalling the snowy night twenty-one years ago.

He and his wife had a son in their old age. With great anticipation for the new life, they finally waited for Princess Gong to give birth. However, they never expected that it would be the beginning of the little one's new life, but also the end of his wife's life.

Princess Gong was an elderly mother and had a difficult delivery.

After two days and two nights of labor, the baby still didn't come out. Prince Gong went to the palace to invite the imperial physicians, but all the doctors had gone to Concubine Lan's palace. On the same day, the emperor's favorite concubine was also giving birth. Prince Gong couldn't invite the imperial physicians, so he returned to Prince Gong's mansion again. Unexpectedly, he was told that Princess Gong had given birth, but she was only left with one breath.

Just like that, under Prince Gong's reluctant gaze, Princess Gong passed away, leaving behind the infant Zhan Xun.

Coincidentally, Zhan Jian and Zhan Kui were not in the mansion.

"Jian'er, do you think it might happen..." Prince Gong expressed his concerns.

"Father, please be careful with your words." Zhan Jian hurriedly opened the door to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside. After confirming that there was no one, he returned into the house.

"Father, if you think about this matter carefully, there are indeed many suspicious points. The day before mother gave birth, something happened in the military camp. My second brother and I had to leave. Mother was in labor for two days and two nights. What a coincidence, you went to the palace to see the imperial physician and mother gave birth in less than an hour..." Zhan Jian also had doubts.

"Concubine Lan gave birth to the seventh prince. If it is as we guessed, the seventh prince is our younger brother. But the seventh prince looks nothing like us." When Zhan Jian thought of that mediocre young man in the royal family, he didn't feel that the seventh prince had any blood relationship with their Zhan family.

Prince Gong also shook his head.

"Yes, I have also seen the Seventh Prince. He is an ordinary person. If he were not for the title of a royal family, he would be hard to find among a crowd of people. He... cannot be the bloodline of my Zhan family."

Zhan Jian also agreed with his father's opinion. The seventh prince had average looks and average schooling. He lived for twenty-one years and was like a transparent person among all the princes.

"Jian'er, I have a bold guess..." Prince Gong said what he was thinking.

Zhan Jian was also shocked.

"Father, you are so imaginative. Have you read too many picture books?" Zhan Jian raised his thumb. Even picture books might not dare to write like this.

"I'm serious." Prince Gong put away his smile.

Zhan Jian stopped laughing when he saw his father like this. "Father, Jiahui's younger brother works in the Ministry of Rites, and the official in charge of household registration in Jingzhao Prefecture is Jiahui's cousin. I asked them to help check, and then check the midwives and personal maids who delivered my mother that year."

Prince Gong nodded and said, "That's all we can do for now. I'll have someone investigate those people related to Concubine Lan in the palace."

Prince Gong, who had been doing nothing and had been living a life of idleness and waiting for death, suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

After dinner, the family chatted together and Mi Yao took Xun's pulse.

"Mom, why do I feel like you're worried?"

"Well, last night, I dreamed of many scenes. I was busy all night and I am exhausted. Now I am a little sleepy." Xun did not hide it.

"Mom, maybe you were a person from the capital before. When you see everything familiar, you have subconscious memories. Take your time, don't worry, I will give you a few needles." Mi Yao helped Xun to the bedroom and gave acupuncture on Xun's head.

Xun fell into a deep sleep.

At the Anqing Marquis' Mansion, Mi Qing confirmed one thing and knocked on the door of Anqing Marquis Xiao Yushi's room.

"Qing, what's the matter with you coming here so late?" Bian had just been having a little fun with her husband when she was interrupted by Mi Qing. She was in a bad mood, but thinking that Mi Qing would have a warning dream, she didn't dare to offend her.

"Aunt, it's Qing'er's fault for disturbing you at this time, but Qing'er has something important to report to uncle." Mi Qing looked anxious.

"Come in!" Xiao Yushi also packed his clothes and sat upright in the main seat.

"Qing'er greets uncle." Mi Qing bowed.

"We are family, no need to be polite. What do you want to see my uncle about?" Xiao Yushi's attitude towards Mi Qing became much better. After all, Mi Qing would have predictive dreams, which was beneficial to both him and the Anqing Marquisate. Who knows, one day, he would get the upper hand and win the emperor's favor, and promotion would be just around the corner.

"Uncle, Qing'er was a little tired this afternoon, so she took a nap and had a dream."

When Xiao Yushi heard that Mi Qing was indeed dreaming, he immediately became alert and looked at Mi Qing closely.

"Qing'er dreamed that half a month later, envoys from Xirong, Nanmao and Beishenghui came and arranged for several princesses and young ladies from aristocratic families to marry with several princes and sons of important officials of Dongqi. At the hunting ground, there was an ambush and the emperor was ambushed and seriously injured. The other three countries took the opportunity to send their troops to the border and put pressure on Dongqi to cede land and pay compensation, otherwise the three countries would send troops together to divide Dongqi." Mi Qing said while watching Xiao Yushi's reaction.

Sure enough, Xiao Yushi’s whole body stiffened. This dream was too scary.

If it was true, how would she tell the Emperor? If things didn't develop as Mi Qing had imagined in her dream, she would be guilty of deceiving the Emperor and cursing him. If things went wrong, she would lose her title and perhaps her life as well.

But if it is true, then my contribution is huge. Saving the emperor is a great achievement. Moreover, I knew the conspiracy of the Three Kingdoms in advance, made arrangements in advance, and saved the soldiers and civilians from the war. What a great achievement!

Xiao Yushi was in a great dilemma. It was too difficult to make a decision between these two extremes.

"Anything else?" Xiao Yushi asked.

"No, Qing'er woke up with fright after dreaming about the emperor being assassinated." Mi Qing also knew that after Emperor Dongqi was injured, several adult princes who were scheming started to take action, recruiting soldiers, forming gangs, and winning over important officials in the court. However, Emperor Dongqi was not destined to die. After more than four months of recuperation, his body recovered, and the open and secret struggles among the princes subsided.

"Uncle understands. You can go back and have some rest." Xiao Yushi smiled and waved his hand.

"Qing'er, take your leave." Mi Qing's etiquette is now quite good, and she is quite like a daughter of a wealthy family.

After Mi Qing left, the ambiguous atmosphere between Xiao Yushi and Bian was gone.

"My Lord, could what Qing'er said be true?" Bian was also very nervous.

"It's hard for me to say. Qing'er's previous dreams all came true, but this time, the scope of the matter is too wide. However, I think it is true." Xiao Yushi said.

"Why?" Bian asked hurriedly.

"At the morning court today, the emperor mentioned that envoys from the three kingdoms will be arriving in Beijing soon and he has asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a reception for them. We only learned about this news during the morning court. Qing'er is a girl who never goes out of the house, so she would not have known about it at all." Xiao Yushi said.

"Yes, I didn't know about this." Bian also believed it a little.

"As for marriage and hunting, these are things that have not been arranged. Qing'er had them in her dream, so let's wait and see. If these two things are as she said, then the rest must be told to the emperor." Xiao Yushi felt that he should still be cautious. After all, there was still more than half a month.
