Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 879 Huan'er in a Coma

When Song Ruozhen heard Chu Junting say this, she knew that this Master Xuanyang was no ordinary person.

In truth, the matter of fortune is inherently mysterious; its ebb and flow is a natural phenomenon.

Originally, the Song family's fortune had been completely exhausted, and the entire family had died tragically, with no one able to die a good death.

Because of her transmigration into the book, the situation began to change, and as their luck gradually improved, some people's luck naturally disappeared.

Ultimately, Master Xuanyang was simply unlucky; otherwise, everything would have unfolded as he had envisioned.

"Father is extremely dissatisfied with this matter and sent people to torture Master Xuanyang, but so far no news has come out. It seems unlikely that he will tell us everything."

Chu Junting was well aware of the punishments in the palace; most people simply couldn't endure them and would reveal the truth long ago.

The fact that Master Xuanyang has been able to endure this long means that he has remarkable patience, and other forms of torture probably wouldn't have much effect on him.

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen pondered and said, "Why don't I go see him? Maybe I can get some information out of him."

"No need. The situation is sensitive right now. If you go, someone will inevitably make a fuss about it."

Chu Junting played with his wife's soft, boneless hand and laughed, "Even if he doesn't say anything, it doesn't matter. Without Master Xuanyang, the Prince of Liang won't be able to cause any trouble."

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly. Master Xuanyang was Liang Wang's right-hand man. Without him, and with Liang Wang already embroiled in trouble, it would be no easy task for him to cause any more trouble.

"Now that Master Xuanyang has been captured, Father should also know very well that all of this was Liang Wang's idea. Is there a decision?"

"Not yet."

Chu Junting shook his head, recalling his father's expression today, and said, "My second brother had an accident a few days ago, and now there are many people in the court watching him. My fourth brother is also under house arrest because of his affair with Wu Yue'er."

If the punishment for the fourth son is announced at this point, many rumors will likely spread.

In my judgment, Father will not announce any further action until the fourth prince's confinement ends.

As if worried about Song Ruozhen's concerns, Chu Junting added, "Don't worry, Father has a clear conscience, he knows everything."

"I see."

Song Ruozhen nodded. They had already gained a significant advantage in this contest, so there was no point in saying anything more.

If you keep following behind and insisting on getting an answer, it will only annoy your father.

As Song Ruozhen carefully re-bandaged Chu Junting's wound, she instructed the kitchen to bring him chicken soup to nourish him.

"You were busy all night yesterday and didn't get a proper rest. I'm not in a rush to go back home right now, so why don't you get some sleep first?"

Chu Junting nodded, "I'll do whatever Madam says."

However, at that moment, news came from the Prince Yun's residence.

"Has something happened to Huan'er?"

Upon hearing the news from the Prince Yun's residence, Song Ruozhen immediately guessed that something must have happened to Huan'er.

Huan'er was only newly pregnant before, so the situation wasn't serious, but now, as time goes on, the symptoms are gradually becoming more prominent.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, our Princess has been feeling unwell since early this morning. She vomits everything she eats and just fainted."

The prince originally did not want to disturb them, but given the current situation, the imperial physicians are helpless, so he requests that Princess Chu make a trip there.

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting exchanged a glance. Master Xuanyang had just been captured, and Huan'er had already shown symptoms. What a coincidence!

"Let's go to the Prince Yun's residence."

When Gu Ruyan and the others saw that Chu Junting had just returned and the two of them had left in a hurry, their eyes immediately filled with surprise.

"Zhen'er, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Mother, don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just that Prince Yun has asked us to come over," Song Ruozhen reassured her.

Seeing this, Gu Ruyan nodded, relieved. "Then please be careful, the young master is still injured."

On the carriage.

Thinking that Huan'er was unconscious, Song Ruozhen said in a deep voice, "Prince Liang must already know that Master Xuanyang has been captured. Now he is desperate and is using everything he can."

"Based on my understanding of the King of Liang, he probably won't budge now that things have come to this."

Chu Junting's eyes darkened slightly. The outcome between the two was uncertain before, and this was just a pawn in a game. The King of Liang might not be so lenient.

However, now that the King of Liang's situation has been fully exposed, the punishment that follows will certainly not be simple.

Even if he were to offer this as a bargaining chip, it wouldn't be of any use; he might as well make them unhappy.

Song Ruozhen understood what Chu Junting meant and said, "He's given up now and only thinks about how to make us unhappy."

"That's right." Chu Junting nodded, his eyes filled with worry. "It's just a pity for your wife. She's such a good child, and now she's encountered such a thing."

Song Ruozhen remained silent, silently pondering whether her current methods were sufficient to resolve the issue.

When the two arrived at the Yunwang Mansion, they saw the anxious Chu Yungui.

"Royal brother, royal sister-in-law, you've finally arrived."

Chu Yungui hurriedly stepped forward, like a headless fly finally finding its leader, and hastily told the whole story.

"Actually, Huan'er has been fine these days, and there's nothing wrong with her."

But starting this morning, she lost her appetite and vomited everything she ate.

I knew morning sickness was common during pregnancy, and she said she wanted to eat plums, so I had someone buy some. She happily ate two, but then suddenly fainted for some reason.

"The imperial physician just came to examine her and said that Huan'er is pregnant and her body is weak, which is why she is experiencing this condition. He also prescribed some medicine to help prevent miscarriage."

However, I suspect things aren't that simple; it might involve some kind of underhanded tactics.

Chu Yungui's expression was solemn. Ever since he learned about the child's situation, he had been worried sick every day.

Even though I know that day will eventually come, I wish that day would come later.

"Don't worry, let me take Huan'er's pulse first."

Song Ruozhen walked quickly to Gu Huan'er and carefully examined her pulse. She found that the pulse was very weak, and the child's pulse was almost imperceptible.

Seeing Song Ruozhen's brows gradually furrow, Chu Yungui's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Sister-in-law, is the situation serious?"

"It seems that the woman's condition is not good either; she may not be able to save the child."

Song Ruozhen turned to look at Chu Yungui and the other person. In fact, the tire that was being changed was a stillborn tire.

The woman was nearing the end of her life, and the child was still absorbing her life essence. This was a calamity for Huan'er, but for the woman, it was a death sentence.

"Can't save them? That means we won't make it to the end, and we can't bring our child back?"
