Chapter 204 Shen Jingyi is out of danger
After her mother left, Song Qingwan lay on the bed and rested for a while.
When she thought of the scene of her son being taken away by his mother, her heart ached and tears flowed.
Her child is so young that he has to leave his mother as soon as he is born.
Child, don’t blame your mother. I wanted to save your father first.
Since it was a normal birth, Song Qingwan recovered quickly.
On the fourth day after giving birth, she was able to get out of bed freely. Song Qingwan first dismissed the servants and then slipped into the space.
She checked on Shen Jingyi's condition. Since Shen Jingyi had been in the space with tubes inserted and receiving nutrient solution, Song Qingwan was not worried that his condition would suddenly take a turn for the worse.
Because Song Qingwan can monitor the situation in the laboratory in real time while lying on the bed.
Shen Jingyi's fever has subsided, and his physical signs have stabilized. New tissue has grown where the rotten flesh on his wrists and ankles had been cut off.
This means that Shen Jing can leave the laboratory by himself, but where should he be placed?
Song Qingwan thought about it and decided to go find the eldest princess, thinking that only the eldest princess could help them now.
The eldest princess was reading in her room. When she saw Song Qingwan come in, she quickly stood up to greet her.
"You just gave birth and you're still in confinement. If there's anything, just let the servants report it. Why bother coming here yourself?"
Song Qingwan held the eldest princess' hand and bowed with a smile.
"Qing Wan thanks the Princess for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my child and I wouldn't be able to survive."
"You don't have to be so polite to me. Why should we be so clear about the difference between you and me? Besides, the child in your belly is the flesh and blood of the Zhao family. How can I not care about it?"
The eldest princess now completely regards Song Qingwan as her own, but she cannot take direct action to stop the emperor from dealing with Prince Huai's Mansion.
Ever since the emperor was poisoned, his temperament changed drastically and the relationship between her and the emperor became much colder.
In the past, whenever the emperor did something ridiculous in government affairs or in handling matters in the harem, the eldest princess would be there to point it out.
The emperor was also happy to listen to the advice of his own sister. The two siblings could talk about anything and had an extremely close relationship.
But now the princess could not interfere with any of the emperor's decisions. If she tried to dissuade him, the emperor would scold her for a long time.
After a long time, the princess became discouraged and stopped caring about him.
The eldest princess knew early on that the emperor was going to deal with Zhao Huaijin, and she had advised the emperor against it.
But the emperor was still stubborn. What he meant was that even if Zhao Huaijin did not fight for it now, there was no guarantee that he would not suddenly want to pull down a prince and take the throne himself in the future.
The emperor had always been skeptical about Zhao Huaijin's background. He believed that Zhao Huaijin was most likely the flesh and blood of the Dongyue Emperor.
If one day Zhao Huaijin becomes the emperor of the Great Sage, then wouldn't the country be renamed and belong to the Tuoba family?
The princess also questioned on behalf of Concubine Shun, what is it about Zhao Huaijin that doesn't look like a child of the Zhao family? And Zhao Huaijin looks like a pure Central Plains person.
The Tuoba family all have foreign facial features, so how could Zhao Huaijin be someone else's son?
She later realized that the emperor was just feeling unhappy and therefore disliked Zhao Huaijin, so he just found a random reason to suppress him.
But the eldest princess never imagined that the emperor would be so cruel as to massacre Zhao Huaijin's palace.
And she intuitively felt that the emperor did this because he wanted to kill Song Qingwan, because everyone in the capital knew that Song Qingwan was Zhao Huaijin's biggest weakness and also his biggest help.
It is conceivable that if Song Qingwan was really killed by the emperor, how crazy would Zhao Huaijin go?
Zhao Huaijin would surely rise up in rebellion to avenge Song Qingwan, and then the emperor could legitimately capture Zhao Huaijin in the name of capturing a rebel.
In this way, Prince Yu can secure his throne without any worries.
This move was extremely vicious. The eldest princess did not agree with the emperor's approach, so she rarely went to the palace.
This time, it was her spy in the palace who came to report to her, saying that Song Qingwan had entered the palace. The princess immediately felt that something was wrong and rushed to Prince Huai's Mansion.
The eldest princess also approved of Song Qingwan's decision to send the child away. It seems that only the Pang family can protect Zhao Huaijin's child now.
"There is one more thing I would like to ask the princess for help with."
"what's up?"
"Princess, please help me prepare a remote courtyard where I can recuperate."
"Yes, there is a house I bought in my early years near the farm outside the city. You can use it anytime you want."
"Thank you princess."
The eldest princess was a little surprised why Song Qingwan wanted such a yard. She had just given birth to a child and was weak and not suitable for running around.
Besides, Song Qingwan can still stay in the Princess's Mansion for confinement, so there is no need for her to leave in a hurry.
Song Qingwan was silent for a moment, but finally told the reason.
"Princess, to be honest, it was Shen Jingyi."
"Shen Jingyi? You mean he was taken out by you?"
"Yes, I have arranged for her to stay in a safe place, waiting to recuperate in the Princess's Villa."
When talking about Shen Jingyi, the eldest princess's face was full of guilt. She had promised Song Qingwan that she would protect Shen Jingyi.
So after Song Qingwan left, she went to see the emperor and asked him not to kill Shen Jingyi, and the emperor naturally agreed.
The eldest princess proposed to take Shen Jingyi away but was rejected by the emperor on the grounds that Shen Jingyi had to stay with him in the palace and they brothers wanted to reminisce about the past.
Although the eldest princess knew that the emperor certainly had bad intentions, she was powerless to stop him because no matter how powerful she was, she could not surpass the emperor.
Song Qingwan also noticed the eldest princess's unnatural expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Princess, don't blame yourself for Shen Jingyi's matter. You have done your best."
"But I still didn't expect that Shen Jingyi was actually locked up in the torture chamber by my brother..."
"No, it still works. Although the emperor imprisoned Shen Jingyi, he still let him live, which shows that he still gave you, the princess, some face."
What Song Qingwan said was not a compliment. Even if the emperor wanted to deal with Shen Jingyi and them, he could not completely ignore the eldest princess.
The eldest princess is not only the emperor's biological sister, but also his savior. If he really disappoints the eldest princess, he will be deserted by everyone.
The eldest princess was indeed comforted, and the guilt in her eyes had turned into heartache for Song Qingwan.
"What are you going to do?"
"I have to go back to Prince Huai's Mansion first to see if there are any clues."
"you mean…"
"Sometimes an order is given by one person, but whether the executor will faithfully follow the order is uncertain."
"Who do you suspect?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I don't believe these things are decided by the emperor alone."
