Chapter 498 The Prince's Only Blood
Huayi took another step back: "Greetings, Princess. It's almost time!"
She had a respectful look on her face, but her eyes were full of defense and vigilance, as if Shen Wantang was going to kill her and the child in the next moment.
Qin Xin rolled her eyes at her and said, "Hua Yi, have you become deaf after getting pregnant? Why didn't you answer the Crown Prince's Consort when she asked you a question? I think you don't take the Crown Prince's Consort seriously!"
Huayi covered her stomach and knelt down: "I dare not, please punish me, my wife!"
Qin Xin was shocked, she never expected that Hua Yi could be so cruel, kneeling down with her big belly.
She was angry and anxious: "What are you doing? The Crown Prince's Consort hasn't said anything yet, but you're kneeling down. When I was serving the Crown Prince's Consort in Wutong Garden before, I never saw you like kneeling so much! You clearly know that the Crown Prince's Consort never punishes people to kneel, but you insist on kneeling down to beg for punishment. What are you thinking?!"
Hua Yi knelt there, swaying: "I know I was wrong. I deserve to die. I offended the Crown Prince's wife. I only ask the Crown Prince's wife to spare my life and the child's life because I am pregnant with the Crown Prince's posthumous child! This is the Crown Prince's only flesh and blood. Please have mercy on me, Crown Prince's wife!"
Qin Xin looked at her in disbelief: "You!!! How can you spit blood on me?! When did the Crown Prince's Consort say she wanted you and the child's life?"
Shen Wantang said calmly, "I never punish servants randomly on weekdays, but if you insist on being punished, then I am not unreasonable and will satisfy your wish. Since you like kneeling so much, then kneel here. Kneel for a night, and tomorrow your habit of forcing others to kneel will naturally be cured."
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
Qin Xin felt relieved all of a sudden. She spat at Hua Yi and said, "You deserve it! You really thought you could scare the Crown Prince's wife by kneeling down. You are so arrogant now that you have achieved your goal!"
Huayi suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up: "Ah, my stomach... Help, is there anyone who can save me? My stomach hurts so much, my child!"
Qin Xin was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Shen Wantang: "Princess, what should we do?"
Shen Wantang looked indifferent: "Don't worry about it. If she wants to take the child to reunite with the prince, then let her go. The prince must not have gone far. The mother and son can catch up with him."
Qin Xin was relieved when she saw that she didn't care about the prince's posthumous child at all.
She glanced at Hua Yi who was wailing on the ground and said, "You can just pretend. This kind of clumsy trick can't control the Crown Prince's Consort at all!"
After she finished speaking, she followed Shen Wantang away.
There was resentment in Huayi's eyes, but she still lay on the ground wailing, and her howling became louder and louder.
She just didn't believe that the prince and princess would not hear her crying and shouting while lying at the gate of the princess's yard!
Sure enough, not long after, Nanny Quan came out with her people. She first leaned over to check on Huayi's condition. Seeing that she had neither spotting nor any other bad symptoms, she knew that she was pretending to be like this on purpose in order to attract the attention of the prince and princess.
"Don't shout. The princess has heard the noise outside. Get up and follow me into the yard. The princess has something to tell you."
Huayi stretched out a hand weakly: "Please help me, Ma'am. I'm heavy and my stomach hurts. I really can't get up."
Nanny Quan is an old and experienced person who has seen all kinds of monsters and demons. She doesn't take Huayi's little tricks seriously at all.
She said with a fake smile: "Miss Huayi is now precious, and she needs help to get up. However, I am old, weak, and my hands and feet are not nimble anymore. I dare not help Miss Huayi, or I might fail to hold you firmly and you might fall, and hurt the little prince in your belly, which would be a sin."
Huayi looked weak and helpless: "But if Madam doesn't help me, I really can't get up."
Nanny Quan spoke sincerely, "It's okay. Just lie down and wait for a while. When the pain in your stomach stops, try to stand up slowly. The princess can't wait. When you get up, I will take you to see the princess. Even if you can't get up until tomorrow, the princess will wait for you. You are the biggest person in the world, and you are the most unique person in the whole palace."
Huayi heard the threat and sarcasm in Nanny Quan's words. She knew that she could not make trouble anymore. It was unwise to offend Nanny Quan now. It would not be too late to deal with those who looked down on her after she gave birth to a son!
She gritted her teeth secretly, supported herself on a tree beside her, and slowly stood up.
Nanny Quan looked disdainful, but she did everything she could to save face, so as not to give the princess a chance to talk about her: "Shanhu, Liuli, each of you hold Huayi on one side, don't let her fall again. She is different now, and she is pregnant with our little prince, so there can be no mistakes."
The two maids responded in unison, stepped forward and held Huayi tightly, as if they were afraid that she would fall.
"Okay, let's go. We've been delayed for so long, the princess must be getting impatient."
The group walked through the door and into the yard.
Qin Xin saw this scene from afar and ran back to Wutong Garden.
"Princess, Huayi didn't continue to kneel down. She was taken into the princess's courtyard by Nanny Quan!"
Shen Wantang nodded: "Well, it's not surprising. She suddenly ran to the princess's courtyard with the intention of meeting the princess. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so enthusiastically."
"Did she deliberately perform this act for the princess?"
"Of course. She must be afraid that I would harm her, or that I would take her child away, so she went to the princess for shelter."
Qin Xin was angry: "Hua Yi is such an ungrateful person. You were so good to her in the past, but she didn't know how to be grateful. She only kept guarding against you! She didn't even think about who sent her to the dead prince, and who helped her fight against Aunt Chu! She is such a jerk. She has completely forgotten your kindness!"
Shen Wantang took a bite of the golden bird's nest and said calmly, "Not everyone knows how to be grateful. What's more, I sent her to the deceased prince for ulterior motives. Her defense today is also within my expectations."
She didn't care much about Huayi's behavior. What she cared more about was whether she could keep the baby in Huayi's belly.
If she remembered correctly, Huayi had been pregnant for nearly seven months.
Huayi always avoided her before, so she rarely saw her belly. But today, she found that her belly was a whole circle smaller than a normal seven-month pregnant belly, which showed that the fetus was very small.
"Qinxin, how is Huayi's food, clothing and living these days?"
"It's not good, Crown Prince's Consort. Huayi has been displeased by the Crown Prince recently and has been feeling depressed. Moreover, she is very suspicious and always suspects that this person or that person is trying to harm her. The kitchen steward saw that she was very thin and specially sent her a bowl of beef soup, but she refused to drink it and quietly poured it away!"
