Chapter 231 Just wait!
Once you enter the palace, you can't ride in a sedan chair and have to walk on your own two legs.
The Forbidden City is so big that it takes a long time to walk from the palace gate to the Yonghe Palace where Concubine De lived.
If you go before dawn, you will be left out in the cold or be bullied.
For example, helping her wash, feeding her, and drinking tea...
Just thinking about it makes me want to cover her face with the vegetable bowl.
But in ancient times, daughters-in-law had to be tortured like this.
Thinking of something, Luo Yao chuckled.
"No need, my mother is still waiting for me to pay my respects to her, I can't waste time like this."
Hearing her say this, Jianqiu raised her head in confusion.
Is Concubine De waiting for her master?
Isn’t it always the case that Concubine De only comes out after they have been there for a long time?
But since the master said so, she didn't dare to refute.
She just helped her master to wash and dress with some heartache, thinking of bringing some snacks in the carriage later.
Let the master eat something at least.
I'm pregnant with my little master, how can I not eat well every day?
Luo Yao quickly finished washing up, changed into a simple and thin outfit, and got on the carriage.
Looking at the gray sky, the chickens haven't even woken up yet, and she's going to pay her respects!
Just wait, Wu Ya, there will be a day when you will have to pay the price!
The carriage wobbled as it headed toward the palace.
As there was a pregnant woman sitting inside, the driver did not dare to drive too fast.
By the time we were almost at the gate of the palace, it was already dawn.
At this time, people gradually appeared on the streets, and those who set up stalls and opened shops to do business had already got up early to work.
It was at this moment that the moving carriage suddenly jolted.
It was just a small stone that was rolled over by the wheel.
But it was just this one stone that caused the entire carriage to overturn!
With a loud "boom", the carriage fell directly to the ground.
The two people in the car were naturally thrown out, and Jianqiu rolled on the ground several times like a rolling gourd.
But she didn't care about her own injuries, and crawled towards her master on the ground.
"Master, Master, are you okay? Don't scare me, Master!"
Luo Yao on the ground was actually not seriously injured. She was quite experienced in rolling out of the carriage!
But she showed a look of pain on her face and covered her stomach with one hand.
"I.....my stomach hurts a little..."
If it were a normal pregnant woman, not only would she have stomach pain, but she might even have miscarriage on the spot!
So Jianqiu suddenly panicked.
She screamed in surprise.
"Master, please hold on. I will go find the Fourth Prince. I..."
She was about to ask the coachman to go to the palace to call someone.
Now Yinzhen still follows Crown Prince Yinreng all day long, and sometimes stays in the palace to help him with things.
So the person is in the palace, so he is quite close.
Luo Yao grabbed her.
"No! I still have to go pay my respects to my mother. Help me up. I can still walk!"
The stubborn look of him enduring the pain made Jianqiu cry.
She was not yet the majestic Aunt Jianqiu she later became.
At this time, Yixiu was only 16 years old, and Jianqiu, her dowry maid, was not very old either.
She advised with tears in her eyes:
"Master, it's already this late and you're still thinking about paying respects. The most important thing now is to go find a doctor!"
But Luo Yao just disagreed and struggled to stand up from the ground.
The swaying figure, blown by the wind, looked as weak and pitiful as a young poplar.
"No, no... I have to go and pay my respects, otherwise the Fourth Master will be blamed by Mother again... Jianqiu, help me walk."
The voice was just right, not too loud, but just loud enough to be heard by the onlookers nearby.
The fall of the carriage was already very eye-catching.
Seeing two women falling out, they became even more curious because they were obviously women from a wealthy family.
They came closer to watch.
Then I heard the conversation between the master and servant.
The woman in plain clothes was only in her early twenties, but she was already pregnant, and her belly was frighteningly big under her thin clothes.
If an ordinary family had a pregnant woman like this, not only would they keep her at home every day, but they would also definitely not let her run around outside all day.
The morning wind whistled past, blowing up the woman's slightly messy hair, it was a breathtaking beauty.
Her pale face could not conceal her exquisite appearance. She was already a stunning beauty even before she fully grew up.
There is an unremovable sorrow and weakness between her slightly furrowed brows, which makes people feel distressed.
"Whose lady is this? I seemed to have heard the maid talking about the Fourth Prince just now."
"Fourth Prince's family, which lady are you going to pay respects to? You are so pregnant and you are still asking me to pay respects, it's really..."
"The driver seems to be unconscious. Will this cause any loss of life?"
"..."
People around were whispering and talking about it, and were very enthusiastic about being a spectator.
Living in the imperial city, what they like to hear most is royal scandals!
It happened that the driver fell unconscious at this time, leaving behind two weak women, each weaker than the other.
No one stopped them, so the discussion became more and more heated.
It was not until they saw the woman in plain clothes faint after taking two steps out that they stopped talking.
Naturally, it was impossible for Luo Yao to really go to Concubine De's palace to pay her respects.
So he took two steps and pretended to faint.
He even found the right angle and fell right into Jianqiu's arms.
Jianqiu was frightened by this scene and wanted to ask the coachman to call for help.
When I turned around, I found this guy lying on the ground motionless.
What can she do?
She could only try her best to support her master's body while shouting to the people around her:
"My master is the wife of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince is in the palace now. If anyone of you goes to tell me the news, I will give him ten taels of silver as a reward!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. As soon as this was said, someone immediately stood up.
And more people ran towards the palace gate.
They certainly couldn't get into the palace, but they just had to report the matter to the guards at the door.
The message will be passed up layer by layer.
The imperial guards who were guarding the gate saw a group of ordinary people running towards them and thought something had happened.
"Stop! This is a forbidden area of the palace, no entry!"
The leader of this team shouted.
The shift change is about to begin, and nothing can happen while he's on duty.
Some people were frightened by him, but some still stepped forward.
The young commander was about to draw his sword to intimidate when he heard the man running in front shout:
"Sir, don't do it! I'm just here to report the news!"
"The Fourth Prince's wife fainted over there, we are here to report the news!"
Sanmao, who ran the fastest, simply explained what happened at the fastest speed, fearing that he would be chopped off in the next second.
The young commander was stunned.
The Fourth Prince’s wife?
Does he have a wife?
