Su Jin said: "Tomorrow, I will pretend to be sick and ask Qian Taiyi to come over. When the time comes, I will inquire about the reason for Zhang Shi's abortion."
Dong Shuang is clearly not the meaning here. Zhang Shi's miscarriage is nothing.
There is an avoidance child soup in the East Palace, and Zhang Shi escaped the avoidance child soup, intending to become pregnant before the princess. This should cost her life.
Even if Zhang Shi gives birth to a child, it is actually not worthy of Su Jin giving a second glance.
The prince was not anxious about his heirs, and the royal house had always been lush with heirs. Each emperor in this dynasty had at least ten sons.
Now that the prince has no children, he is just waiting for the princess to become pregnant and give birth to a legitimate and legitimate first son.
Wait for a few years, and the princess will give birth to children. The children in the East Palace will be born one by one.
Therefore, the meaning of Dong Shuang is that by taking advantage of Zhang Shi's miscarriage, let Qian Taiyi prescribe a powerful medicine, and directly send Zhang Shi to hell.
If the prince still loves Zhang Shi, then he can hold a tablet to commemorate her.
Inside the house, it was all Su Jin's trusted confidants. Dong Shuang spoke directly about her plan.
After listening to Dong Shuang's words, Su Jin couldn't lift his spirits at all. He just calmly listened, but didn't say whether he would do it or not.
Dong Shuang was anxious in her heart and said, "Miss, the prince is just confused by Zhang Shi. He still likes you, you..."
"I don't like him."
Su Jin paused for a moment and spoke in a more determined tone: "I detest him!"
The hatred has reached the point where I cannot bear to be his wife, even as his widowed wife.
Dong Shuang was stunned.
Qiu Lu and the others all thought that Su Jin's current state was because of the prince.
The prince struck Su Jin without distinguishing right from wrong because of Zhang Shi.
Qiu Lu and the others don't need to ask or check to know the prince's reasons. It's all because they think that Su Jin caused Zhang Shi's pregnancy, or because they think that Su Jin didn't take care of the East Palace properly, leading to Zhang Shi's miscarriage.
But even if Zhang Shi gives birth to a child, it will not pose any threat to Su Jin.
The crown prince is second in line among his brothers, with an elder brother who is three years older than him. However, the elder prince is a minor figure both within and outside the palace.
Especially because he is older than the prince, he suffered more unfair treatment. The emperor always favored the prince and suppressed the eldest son, proving that the prince's status is stable.
This is similar to the situation with the King of Qi; the more similar in age a brother is to the crown prince, the harder it is for him to endure in the palace.
However, it is the brothers who are ten years younger than the prince and will not pose any threat to the prince who will occasionally receive a little fatherly love from the emperor.
This has always been the case in the country, so Su Jin will definitely not take action against Zhang Shi.
The prince walked in and questioned Su Jin without any reason, which can only mean one thing: the prince is biased towards Zhang Shi.
Whether it's because of Zhang Shi's child or because of Zhang Shi's complaints, the end result is physical violence, which can prove that the prince did not respect his lawful wife.
In the prince's eyes, there is no difference between wife and concubine.
Such a husband is certainly not a good thing for a wife.
So, Su Jin can't just watch coldly as the prince favors others, and he has to take action himself.
Dong Shuang and the others didn't want Su Jin to directly go after the prince's heart and compete with the concubine for his favor.
The miss raised with gold and jade is not to learn bed matters and please men everywhere, catering to the prince's every wish.
Dong Shuang wanted Su Jin to control the concubines in the East Palace, at least not people like Zhang Shi.
The prince is still depraved, but life must be lived, and there's always a way to live it.
But if Su Jin says it's not because of the prince, then what could it be?
Su Jin pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
The real reason that made Su Jin lose her composure was... she realized that her life was over.
From the moment she stepped into the East Palace, she would be bound to the prince, come what may.
But she detests being marked as the prince's.
What tired her more was that she loved Chu Han, this love that had been accumulating for years, was like a stream slowly flowing under the glacier.
A few years ago, Su Jin was not aware of this love.
Now, as she peeks into this love from the gaps of the ice mountain, the sound of the stream echoes in her ears, and the noise becomes louder and louder.
She thought this love was not enough, that she could simply forget this love.
But as the cracks in the ice grow larger, she realizes that she loves Chu Han far more than she had ever realized.
Su Jin always unconsciously thinks of Chu Han, only to be pulled back by reality and told that he is her brother-in-law.
People who can never be together for the rest of this life.
Even if he is not her brother-in-law, Su Jin also cannot be with anyone else.
Because she is the prince's wife, the future queen.
The mother of the country…
With such a noble status, even if the prince were deposed, she couldn't remarry anyone else.
Unless the great Qí disappeared, she will not be subject to such humiliation. As the prince's wife and the future queen of Qí, she will not be insulted.
Even if the great Qí disappeared, if she has any dignity, she should kill herself instead of serving the enemy.
So, none of it should exist.
But——
Su Jin pressed her heart, if feelings could be controlled, there would be no so much sorrow and happiness.
Su Jin's condition was so poor that Dong Shuang dared not call Su Jin.
Dong Shuang feared that if he opened his mouth, it would jolt Su Jin out of her emotions, making her emotional state even worse.
But everything has a time to pass.

The second day was a day of continuous rain.
As Qian the physician was led into the room, he subtly surveyed his surroundings, noticing no other palace attendants.
He immediately realized that something was not right.
Qian Taiyi stood outside the beaded curtain, unable to see Su Jin's expression or the terrifying marks on her face. But as he heard Su Jin's hoarse voice, his heart dropped instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Good heavens, did the prince cause trouble for the princess yesterday?
Doctors, especially those specializing in fetal care, have developed good skills in observing people's expressions and gestures. This is more important than medical skills.
The latter could at most admit that he is not skilled enough and be kicked out of the Imperial Hospital, but the former, it could involve the lives of the entire family.
Especially when it involves issues of descendants.
"Qian Taiyi, does your family have a grandson studying?"
Qian Taiyi bowed and said: "Yes, he is very stupid, and we are preparing to send him back to his hometown."
Su Jin said indifferently, "I'm sure you all know about my favored status at home, so there's no need for me to elaborate on that."
"I'll only tell you one thing. I grew up in my father's study, and I've seen him handle many official matters."
Qian Taiyi was sweating more than ever, although the current flow of news was all about Su Shaoxian's good reputation, whether it was his imitation of Zhou Guo's governance, his kindness to others, or his indiscriminate teaching of his students...
But time can cover up many things.
Such a person as Su Shaoxian was able to govern the country during the emperor's youth and when the king suddenly passed away, ushering in a period of prosperity, and outshone all other assistant officials with his methods. This was no simple feat.
Qian Taiyi had witnessed Su Shaoxian's methods twenty years ago. At this moment, listening to Su Jin's words, he subconsciously understood her implied meaning.
While benefits can entice others to act, threats can also be used as a means.
Su Jin is not without a family to rely on.
