Chapter 356 -352: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 62_3

“Right? Right? And now, after all these seven years, the Crown Prince has never left the Imperial Palace and has always been by Ruanruan’s side, assisting her with all sorts of matters. Your Majesty, in my opinion, there’s definitely more to their relationship,” the Empress guessed, stroking her chin. But soon after, a hint of distress appeared on her face, “If what the servants say is true, and a concubine has appeared beside Ruanruan, what will our Crown Prince do after he hears this news?”

“That brat isn’t going to lose his mind and go kill the man with a sword, is he?” The Emperor was suddenly startled, and he became visibly flustered.

“This concubine doesn’t know either, let’s wait and see tomorrow,” she said.

Meanwhile, the news had spread among the concubines in the harem.

Su Zhiruan’s four children were playing in the harem with the concubines, who were talking amongst themselves, leaving the four children to their own devices.

Although they oversaw important matters in various departments of the Shen Kingdom, they were in the end only seven-year-old children. Plus, being of the Rabbit Clan, they had much longer lifespans than humans. Thus, at this stage in the Rabbit Clan’s lifespan, they were just infants, still innocent in nature.

As the servants passed by, they failed to notice the four children huddled together. They walked by, gossiping, thinking no one was there to hear them.

“Hey, hey, have you heard? The Princess brought in a concubine yesterday, and he’s strikingly handsome, even more beautiful than Pan An. He’s outstandingly attractive, and most importantly, he’s the first man to appear beside the Princess.”

“Ah, what about the Crown Prince then?”

“What do you mean what about him? The Princess is the Crown Prince’s sister, after all. What exactly are you implying?”

“Who doesn’t know by now? The streets and alleys of the Shen Kingdom are abuzz with it; the Princess is a fairy sent from the heavens, appearing to save the Shen Kingdom, and not actually the Crown Prince’s sister.”

“Never before have we heard of a concubine by the Princess’s side, so why would there suddenly be one now? Moreover, I heard it was the Princess herself who ordered that the concubine move into her bedroom,” one remarked.

…

The servants continued their hushed conversations as they walked, their chatter unceasing.

At this moment, the four children also overheard their dialogue, and they stood hand in hand, looking at each other, quite unsure what to make of it all.

Xiaxia was the first to speak. She had always been perceptive, and now, upon hearing such news, she didn’t panic. “Another man has appeared by our mother’s side?”

Lin An looked up at the departing servants, his voice heavy with concern. “Could it be just the servants wagging their tongues? I’ll have them all dealt with later.”

“Big brother, wait a moment,” Xiaxia shook her head, took his hand with a gentle and coquettish tone, “I think it would be quickest to find out by going directly to ask Mother.

“Xiaxia, we’re all children, if we go ask Mother directly, might she not feel embarrassed?” Lin You’s face showed a glint of concern, feeling that Su Zhiruan must have her reasons for her actions.

“Then I’ll take it upon myself to find out,” said Xiaxia, rubbing her hands together and ready to dash off to Su Zhiruan’s bedroom.

Although these four children were not old, they were all very bright and independently minded. At their tender age, they were already intelligent and received admiration from everyone in the Imperial Palace. Sometimes, even Shen Qingman couldn’t help but lovingly stroke their heads and remark that he was nothing compared to these four when he was their age. It was clear he genuinely cherished Yun Xia and the others.

The three brothers watched Xiaxia’s retreating figure, shaking their heads in unison but saying nothing; after all, being a girl, she might have an easier time asking about this matter by acting a little spoiled.

Speaking of the last person in the Shen Imperial Palace to hear this news and also the most shocked, it must have been Shen Qingman.

These days, he had not let up in his pursuit of Su Zhiruan at all but had become even more intense.

Fighting time and again, failing and returning to the fight.

In fact, his pursuit was so evident that many could plainly see it.

When the busy Shen Qingman received this news like a bolt from the blue, he nearly collapsed, utterly confounded.

Upon hearing it the first time, he even wondered if he was hallucinating from being too busy.

“What did you say? Say that again,” Shen Qingman gripped the servant’s collar, disbelieving, urging him to repeat, “You mean to tell me Su Zhiruan has taken in a gigolo!”

“Yes… yes…” The servant was too frightened to speak further.

“Prepare the carriage! I’m entering the palace this very moment,” Shen Qingman couldn’t sit still any longer!
