Zhang Yao couldn't help but hold the child tightly in his arms and whispered softly: "Isn't she here to hold a grudge against me?"
Jue Chan said with a smile: "I'm sure something like this will happen. You have to be prepared, but..." She paused, and seeing Xing'er's indifferent expression, she couldn't help but say, "The Emperor is so kind to you."
, you still have to accept it proudly, and show some aura of being favored, that will be good for the child, now that you no longer depend on others and live a good life for yourself, Concubine Yi and the others will not dare to bully you."
Zhang Yaosheng's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his head and continued to focus on the child in his arms, and responded softly: "I understand."
Over here, Lan Qi hurried to her elder brother's house. Sure enough, Aunt Sumala would invite Concubine De to come. As soon as she arrived, she was led to her younger brother's house. The maid and eunuch were waiting outside the door.
Two imperial doctors and Aunt Sumala were there. Aunt Sumala was sitting outside. When she saw Empress De Fei coming, she quickly stood up. Lan Qi helped her sit down and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
She didn't dare to say "Isn't it good?" too directly, but grandma said: "Children are in danger. Children with congenital deficiencies are not easy to feed."
Not long after, an imperial doctor came to report that my little brother was very weak and whether he could survive or not depended on God.
Lan Qi went to the cradle and took a look at the child. As expected, he was the flesh and blood of a noble man. He had long, slender eyebrows and a handsome nose. A child less than a month old was so beautiful. But the little life was lifeless and lifeless, unlike her daughter who had died young.
Likewise, Lan Qi couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but as soon as she turned around, her grandma pulled her to a deserted place and said softly: "My dear, don't be sad, let this child go."
Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then she continued: "The imperial doctor came, but it was just for show. They didn't do any treatment for the child. The child will live as long as he can. If he doesn't, it's his fate. But the imperial doctor also said that he was born with deficiencies.
Even if you receive treatment, you may not be able to survive.”
"Mommy, what does this mean?" A cloud formed on Lan Qi's face. Even though she didn't like Mr. Ping, the child was innocent. How could such a beautiful boy be given up so easily? No wonder those imperial doctors,
I usually walk in the Qianqing Palace. It seems that the emperor is showing favor to Ping Gui and his children, but in fact it is...
Mammy's face was solemn and she said solemnly: "Long live the Lord and the slave said that this child is not his."
Lan Qi's whole body was shaken, and her grandma sighed: "It seems that Hesheli couldn't hold back and did the most ridiculous thing."
"There are records in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After Ping Guiren was reported to be pregnant, we checked it. Why?" Lan Qi didn't understand, but suddenly remembered that Ping Guiren was guarding against outsiders like a wolf at that time, and felt strange.
, asked anxiously, "What went wrong? How did the emperor know that the child was not his?"
Mammy said: "After the little brother was sent, the emperor came to my brother's house in the name of visiting the child. He told the slave in private that it was up to God whether the child could survive. He said that the records of the time when the noble peace was together
The things that happened were all false, just to give Mr. Ping the face. They had never had an affair. The emperor said that he remembered it clearly, so Mr. Ping must have taken a risk and made a big mistake. The emperor said that it was his fault.
It was a shame, but he could only endure it."
Lan Qi felt her ears ringing, remembering the scene in the garden last year. She was injured and lay in bed for several months. She didn't know anything about the outside world. She couldn't guarantee whether Mr. Ping would do such a thing.
But she felt strange, why could Xuan Ye tolerate the birth of this child despite being cuckolded?
"What if the child is lucky enough to survive?" Lan Qi couldn't figure it out. "The emperor will look back at this child, won't he be sad?"
Grandma recited the Buddha's name and responded: "I was so scared at the time that I didn't think of asking these questions. Now that I think about it, I probably heard the Queen Mother's teachings in the past. Even if this child is not a flesh and blood, he is still innocent.
The child, Long Live Lord can't do it. What's more, there is no real evidence, Long Live Lord can't say to the outside world that he has not committed adultery with the Peaceful Lord. The Hesheli family is guarding the Peaceful Lord and the fetus, and those few
Yue Li can't do anything about it. In short, this matter ends here. As long as the empress knows, you and the slaves should leave the rest of the matter alone."
Lan Qi said worriedly: "Mom has told me now that I will inevitably be embarrassed when I see the emperor next time. How can I pretend that this is not the case?"
Mammy advised: "How clean do you think this palace is? It's just that this matter is unbearable when you see it. There are countless dirty things that can't be seen in the corners. Please be at ease, Madam. If the Emperor talks to you later,
Get up, you should know how to comfort him. Of course, if I dare to say these words to you, it is because of the instruction of Lord Long Live. After all, Lord Long Live cannot say this himself."
Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "How to comfort? This is the biggest shame for a man." Her heart was heavy. The old relationship between Jue Chan and Nalan Rongruo made her feel pity and hatred for Jue Chan. Fortunately, Jue Chan didn't
It would be better to do anything to disgrace the emperor, just emotionally and mentally, and to betray Xuan Ye for the rest of his life than to be so shameless as Ping Guiren.
Aunt Sumala advised Lan Qi: "The Emperor will definitely impose sanctions and containment on Ping Gui. Ping Gui has a guilty conscience and probably can't cause any trouble. In short, you can just watch with cold eyes and don't sympathize with her."
Lan Qi nodded and responded: "Don't worry, mama, I have already thought about it this time, and I will stand by and watch."
Before leaving her brother's place, Lan Qi went to look at the child again. She wondered if she had a grudge in her heart. Although the child was beautiful, she also deceived herself into thinking that the child looked nothing like Xuan Ye. She tried hard to convince herself that she was cruel.
Don't worry, the imperial doctors have repeatedly said that even with treatment, they can't save her. Thinking about her daughter who died young, even though the imperial doctors tried their best, Lan Qi believed those words.
Concubine De had just left here, and what happened in the elder brother's office quickly spread to Qianqing Palace. Eunuch Liang got the word, and after a group of ministers left, he went to the emperor and relayed what Grandma Sumala and Concubine De had said.
To the emperor, Xuan Ye raised his eyes and asked: "Can she believe it?"
Eunuch Liang smiled bitterly and said: "My wife considers everything for the emperor, so naturally I feel sorry for the emperor."
"That's it." Xuan Ye responded indifferently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it was Eunuch Liang who was worried and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why do you have to let grandma tell De about this matter?"
Where is the concubine? She will be embarrassed when she sees you in the future."
Xuan Ye sneered: "Ping Guiren knows that this child is my flesh and blood. If my brother fails to take good care of the child, she will definitely make trouble when she recovers. What if she becomes soft-hearted? She has also lost a child.
It is inevitable for people not to have sympathy, but now even if Pinggui makes trouble to the sky, she will not sympathize with her. What I want is this result."
Only then did Eunuch Liang come to his senses and said repeatedly: "Long live my life, it's better to think carefully."
Xuan Ye lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand, saying to himself: "I just understand her."
Having said that, Emperor Yun Danfengqing's indifference to things put heavy pressure on Lan Qi. She had been feeling sorry for Xuan Ye ever since she left her brother's office, so much so that even after meeting Xuan Ye several times, she also
He was more attentive and considerate than before. Although he did not mention the above matter, Xuan Ye knew why she suddenly felt so sorry for him and felt funny in his heart. But the causes of these things were always a bit sad. After all, he did something cruel and cold-blooded.
Since he was a cuckold, he didn't want Lan Qi to see his ruthlessness.
Days passed by, Zhang promised to be in good health, and the little princess was healthy and healthy. Yanxi Palace was full of joy every day, as if this place was full of blessings. On the first day of March,
, the news came from the elder brother, Ping Guiren's new little elder brother died. The child finally survived the confinement, but he could not live longer, and passed away in just over thirty days.
At that time, Ping Guiren had not yet been allowed to leave the confinement period, and before she had time to go to her elder brother's home to see the child, her son was gone. When she rushed to her elder brother's home like crazy, the child had already been buried and was about to be sent away.
, as a mother, she has never seen what the child looks like since she gave birth. The weak person cried and fainted directly in her brother's place, and she didn't even have the strength to make a fuss.
These things were spread to the harem one after another, and there were many people in the palace who were gloating about the misfortune. Too many people had been bullied by Ping Guiren, and they all said that she had done too many evil things and harmed her children. It was even more fortunate that she could not continue to do so after losing this child.
Prestige brings blessings.
When they first learned that Ping Gui had given birth to an elder brother, they all wondered if she should be promoted to concubine and would bully others in the future. Now they were relieved, thinking that even if the emperor took pity on her and promoted her to a higher position without the support of her children,
, she has less confidence after all. Moreover, I heard that Ping Guiren's vitality was greatly reduced after giving birth, and I saw her fainting from crying in her brother's place. It seems that her body will not be healed in the future, and she will no longer be able to stay in the palace in the future.
They all applauded secretly for their tyranny. As for the loss of a new life, they just sighed at that moment without any sympathy or mercy.
For Lan Qi, the child was finally gone, and a stone fell in her heart. She always felt that with this result, Xuan Ye's shame could be eliminated. She pitied the little life, but if the child survived, in the future
What should I do? Every time Xuan Ye sees that child, he will think of unbearable things, which may lead to a greater tragedy in the end. It is better to end it now. As for Ping Guiren, I am afraid Xuan Ye will never care about her again in his life.
When the sisters got together, they lamented that Ping Guiren's situation was the retribution for her past evil deeds. At that time, Tong Bin sneered: "She can't blame me now, the child was born, and the child can't survive on its own."
Lan Qi looked at Tong Bin, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that Tong Bin had framed Ping Guiren's palace maid for having an affair with his bodyguard earlier. Why did it seem even more strange now?
