Chapter 32 Concubine Hui had a conflict with someone and lost her child

Concubine Dun was extremely shocked, with waves of fear in her heart, and she stood up suddenly.

At the age of fifteen, he got into trouble, was demoted to a commoner, and finally died on the street?

When it was late at night and she was filled with resentment and resentment, she even had the thought that it would be better if the child was gone.

But when she really heard such an ending, the scene of the baby in her arms, with eyes full of her and softly calling her mother emerged in her mind, and her heart was filled with intense pain.

Also, she was banished to the cold palace, killed herself, and still, still smelled bad?

Just imagining it, Concubine Dun's stomach also began to churn. She immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, turned her head away, and gulped silently.

Seeing Concubine Dun's horrified look, the Fifteenth Prince stood up out of habit, wanting to hug her and ask, "Mother, are you okay?"

But as soon as he took a step, he realized the current situation, his feet stopped, and he couldn't move anymore. He felt very sad.

It turned out that not only he died, but Empress Dun also died, and in such a tragic way. The boy felt as if his heart was being pulled up by a huge hand and he could hardly breathe.

Just now, Tong Tong said that Concubine Dun regretted her decision later on. That means she still loved her son, right?

When he thought of this possibility, the little boy's eyes lit up again, hope rose in his heart again, and he looked at Concubine Dun eagerly.

Seeing that Youyou was about to vomit out of hatred, the system immediately blamed itself and confessed: "I'm sorry, Youyou, I was wrong. I forgot that you are still a little kid. 】

[It's okay.] Ji Jinyou felt very uncomfortable in his stomach. He lay on the edge of the couch and vomited again. He really didn't have the energy to say more.

The queen quickly reached out and picked up the little girl, letting her lie across her lap and gently stroking her back.

I couldn't help but blame that Tong Tong in my heart. If he said Concubine Dun was dead, he should just say she was dead. Why did he say such a smelly thing in front of such a young child? This is what a three-year-old child should hear.

The Royal Consort also stood up and walked over. She took the plum from the little girl's hand and put it aside. She then took the cup of water from the palace maid and waited on the side.

Ji Jinyou lay on the queen's lap for a while, then sat up after recovering from the shock. "Everyone, is it too rude of me to suddenly do this? If everyone asks me, what should I say to fool them?"

The system made a mistake, and the voice was weak: [How about you pretend to be sick again? ]

Ji Jinyou felt bad: [Not good, I just pretended to be a doctor two days ago to help my sister-in-law. ]

If she pretends too much, what if she really feels unwell one day? Then no one will believe her.

Seeing that the system was helpless, the little girl's mind raced, trying to find a suitable excuse for her sudden behavior.

The Imperial Concubine glanced at the Empress, and quickly fed the cup of water to her mouth, and found an excuse for her: "This plum is too disgusting. Our little Jiu almost vomited after eating it."

The Eighth Princess cooperated and took a bite of a plum, then spit it out with a "Puh" sound, her face wrinkled into a ball: "It tastes so bad, no wonder Xiaojiu wanted to vomit, I want to vomit too."

Ji Jinyou was puzzled. The plums she had just eaten were very sweet and not unpalatable at all. However, she did not say anything and quickly nodded her head: "The plums are too unpalatable."

Several people gathered around the couch, asking the little girl about her well-being and coaxing her with concern.

Concubine Dun and the Fifteenth Prince stood quietly on the ground, each with mixed feelings in their minds.

The queen looked up at the two of them and saw that Xiaojiu looked better after drinking the water. She stroked the little girl's head and told the Seventh and Eighth Princesses, "This room is too stuffy. You two should take Xiaojiu out for some fresh air."

The Seventh and Eighth Princesses knew that the adults were going to talk about something, so she nodded in agreement, picked up the chubby girl and walked out.

The Royal Concubine warned: "Find a cool place and don't get caught in the sun."

After the three princesses left, the queen turned around and looked at the mother and son who were still standing.

Concubine Dun was stared at by the empress's inquiring eyes, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

She didn't know what was going on between the Ninth Princess and that man, but after listening to their conversation, she instantly realized what the Queen and the others meant by those meaningful looks. It was obvious that they already knew about her affairs.

Although nothing has happened to Shiwu yet, things have come to this point and her dirty thoughts have become known to everyone. She has no choice but to apologize.

Having the intention to harm the heir to the throne is an unforgivable sin. The queen said with a stern face: "Go ahead."

Concubine Dun knelt down and told Concubine Shu about her grievances and the whole story, including her true love for Fifteen and her subsequent change of mentality.

At first, she was very calm, but when she talked about the fifteenth prince, her tears could not stop flowing.

The fifteenth prince knelt down with Concubine Dun and listened to her talk about the past, crying softly with tears and snot.

After a while, Concubine Dun finished speaking and knelt there quietly, waiting for her fate.

The Queen first asked the Fifteenth Prince, "Fifteen, knowing all this, are you still willing to follow Concubine Dun?"

The fifteenth prince had no hesitation at all and nodded immediately, looking at Concubine Dun eagerly: "As long as mother, as long as Concubine Dun is willing to want me."

This child is really loyal and righteous. The Queen sighed and decided to ask more clearly: "You also heard it with your own ears. Concubine Dun wanted to harm you. Are you still willing to follow her?"

The fifteenth prince lifted his sleeves and wiped his face. "My mother accidentally caused Concubine Dun to fall into the water. She was at fault first, and she didn't apologize to Concubine Dun. It's the mother's fault and the son's fault. Concubine Dun wants to seek revenge on me, and I don't blame her."

"What's more, that Tong Tong said that my mother entrusted me to Concubine Dun because she wanted me to be filial to Concubine Dun and make up for her mistakes."

The boy clenched his fists, his small body stood straight, and his childish voice was loud: "So, as long as Concubine Dun wants me, I will still recognize her as my mother."

The Queen and the Royal Concubine looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.

Fifteen. This child may be naughty, bearish, and annoying, but despite his young age he is very responsible and a real man.

"I know your intentions," the Queen said softly, looking at Concubine Dun: "Concubine Dun, what do you say?"

"Concubine," Concubine Dun's face was pale. After saying "concubine", she remained silent.

She never expected that the child Fifteen would say such a thing. Although this child is no longer the soft little dumpling he was when he was a child, his heart is so sincere.

At that moment, Princess Dun felt proud. She wanted to hold the child's hand and show off loudly, saying, "Look, this is the child she raised with her own hands. She taught him to be like this."

But when she thought of the dirty thoughts in her heart, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and that sense of pride disappeared in an instant.

She is not worthy of being the mother of such an innocent and sincere child.

Seeing that Concubine Dun's eyes flickered and her expression changed several times, and she remained silent for a long time, the Queen did not urge her, but comforted her: "This is a serious matter, you should think it over carefully before answering."

Concubine Dun nodded with a complicated expression. After a long time, her panic-stricken eyes calmed down.

She leaned forward and kowtowed to the Empress: "Your Majesty, I have not gotten over the pain in my heart yet, and I cannot guarantee that I can treat the Fifteenth Prince the same way I did at the beginning. Moreover, my mind is filthy, and I am no longer ashamed to be the Fifteenth Prince's mother. I hope Your Majesty will grant me your blessing."

The fifteenth prince had been kneeling straight, but when he heard this, he immediately hunched over, his head drooped to his chest, and tears fell from his eyes.

The queen looked at the little boy and couldn't bear it. She confirmed with Concubine Dun again: "Have you really thought it through?"

Hearing the little boy sobbing beside her, Concubine Dun paused for a moment before nodding: "Yes, I have thought it through."

The Queen nodded and said, "The Fifteenth Prince is old enough and should have lived in a separate palace. From today on, the Fifteenth Prince will move out of Qiushi Palace and move to Jingming Palace to live with the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince."

Concubine Dun knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Her Majesty."

At this point, there was no room for maneuver. All hopes in the Fifteenth Prince's heart were shattered, and he no longer expected Concubine Dun to change her mind.

He stopped crying and calmed down immediately. He followed behind and kowtowed, choking with sobs as he said, "Thank you, mother."

The Queen asked the little boy, "Fifteen, do you have anything else to say to Concubine Dun?"

The fifteenth prince moved his knees, turned around, faced Concubine Dun, and kowtowed three times solemnly: "The fifteenth prince thanks Concubine Dun for her years of education."

Concubine Dun was kneeling facing the empress without turning to the side. When she heard the words, her body stiffened and she turned her head to the other side, not looking at him, but tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

The Fifteenth Prince stood up and saw that Concubine Dun didn't even look at him. He sadly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that blocked his eyes and kowtowed three times again: "My Lady Concubine Dun, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother, Concubine Shu. I'm sorry for what happened that year."

The eight-year-old child has a childish voice, but his tone is so mature and heavy.

This childish "I'm sorry" was like a sledgehammer that shattered the shackles that had been in Concubine Dun's heart for many years. She could no longer hold back, and covered her face with her hands, crying bitterly.

The fifteenth prince held back his tears, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to quickly hug Concubine Dun. Like when they were children, he put his head on her shoulders and rubbed it affectionately.

Then he stood up and bowed respectfully to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, "Mother, Mother, I will take my leave first and go back to move."

The queen looked reluctant and said, "Go ahead."

The fifteenth prince lowered his head, bowed, took a few steps back, turned around and walked out the door. There was no fault in his manners and etiquette.

The Empress and the Royal Consort had never seen him so well behaved before, and they felt a little upset.

The fifteenth prince walked out of the palace gate step by step steadily. The moment he stepped over the threshold, the little boy could no longer hold back, burst into tears, and ran away wildly.

Listening to the sad cries coming from outside, and looking at Concubine Dun lying on the ground crying, the Imperial Concubine and the Empress sighed. What a sin.

---

The fifteenth prince ran back to Qiuhua Palace crying. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw everything that was familiar. He closed the door, bolted it, sat down on the ground, and cried loudly.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were busy outside heard the noise and knocked on the door, asking what happened, but he ignored them and just burst into tears.

She cried for a long time, until she had no more strength to cry. Then she stopped, picked up her clothes to wipe her tears, stood up and started to pack her things.

He gathered his clothes and belongings and packed them into several bags. He also did not forget to take the cloth tiger that had been placed on the head of his bed. It was made for him by his biological mother, Concubine Shu, after he was born. Later, when it became old, Concubine Dun sewed another layer of cloth on the outside for him. This cloth tiger, sewn with the love of two mothers, accompanied him for eight whole years.

But now, he has no mother at all and only has this rag tiger.

The young eunuch beside the Fifteenth Prince went to get something and came back. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was surrounded by palace servants, who told him that the young prince was crying. He hurriedly knocked on the door, and the Fifteenth Prince opened it and let him in.

The young eunuch was startled when he saw the mess in the room. "Your Highness, are you looking for something? Tell me and I will find it."

The fifteenth prince turned his back and wiped his tears. Then he turned around and looked at the eunuch who had been with him for several years. He forced a smile and said, "Chang Xing, I have grown up. The Empress asked me to move out."

Chang Xing noticed that the little prince looked a little strange. Thinking of the change in Concubine Dun's attitude towards the little prince, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately started to pack up his things: "Where are we moving to, Your Highness?"

Fifteenth Prince: "Jingming Palace."

Chang Xing nodded and put the two big bags on his shoulders. He then went to pick up the others and also carried the fifteenth prince on his back.

A moment later, the master and servant left the palace gate with their bags. Other palace servants in the courtyard came forward to ask about it, and Chang Xing smiled and replied, "The young prince is moving to Jingming Palace."

People are puzzled.

"Why do you want to move out suddenly?"

"Yes, Your Highness, moving is such a big deal, how can it be done without the Queen? How about we wait until the Queen comes back?"

Looking at the boy's determined thin back, Chang Xing explained with a smile: "Your Highness should have moved out when he turned seven last year. He has lived here for an extra year. It was the Empress who ordered him to move."

When everyone heard that it was the Empress' order, they stopped talking and said goodbye with a smile.

The fifteenth prince walked out with his head down all the way. After he left the gate of Qiushi Palace, he looked back, then turned around and walked straight to Jingming Palace.

---

Princess Qiba carried Ji Jinyou out of Fengyi Palace. After walking for a while, she saw that the little girl had fallen asleep.

The Eighth Princess looked at the fat baby in her arms, smiled and whispered, "Seventh Sister, look, Little Nine looks like a little pig when he falls asleep."

The Seventh Princess smiled and glanced at her: "Don't blame me, Xiaojiu. You were also this fat when you were a child."

The Eighth Princess was dissatisfied: "Seventh Sister, you are only one year older than me, how do you know?"

The Seventh Princess: "I heard from my mother and mother."

The Eighth Princess didn't believe it: "Seventh Sister, you are talking nonsense, why haven't I heard of it..."

The two sisters quarreled in low voices all the way back to Mingzhu Palace. They put the chubby little girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and then they leaned on the left and right side of the little girl and took a nap.

When they woke up, someone came from Emperor Wen Zhao's place and told the three of them to go to Chongde Hall for dinner.

Princess Qiba quickly re-combed Xiaojiu's hair and carried her out. Ji Jinyou wanted to walk by herself, but her two sisters wouldn't let her. They said, "You hold her for a while, I hold her for a while," and they carried her all the way.

Emperor Wen Zhao was so exhausted after a busy day of government affairs that he called the empress over to ask her what Xiaojiu and Tongtong had talked about today.

The empress did not hide anything and told him about Concubine Dun and Concubine Shu, as well as the fact that the fifteenth prince had moved to Jingming Palace.

Although the emperor was usually quite strict with the princes and princesses, he was very protective of his son. When he heard that Concubine Dun was actually planning to harm Fifteen, he immediately turned gloomy and slammed the table, "Go, demote Concubine Dun..."

The emperor is so powerful that it is difficult to take back what he has said. The queen interrupted him hastily: "Your Majesty, please wait, listen to me first."

Emperor: “You say.”

The Queen: "Your Majesty, what Concubine Dun did was wrong, but Concubine Shu was also wrong first, so you can't blame Concubine Dun entirely."

As a mother, she felt very bad seeing Fifteen crying like that today. She could see that the child still had feelings for Concubine Dun and was dependent on her, which showed that Concubine Dun was really good to him in the past.

At the same time, as a woman, seeing Concubine Dun's pain, she could empathize with her and feel sad for her.

Concubine Dun was not a bad person by nature. Even though she had known the truth a year ago, she had not done any substantial harm to the Fifteenth Prince in the past year.

If one day she repents, and if Fifteen is still willing to recognize her at that time, perhaps they can still be mother and son again.

After all, when the fifteenth child was just born, Concubine Dun helped Concubine Shu to take care of him. The mother-son relationship for eight years was irreplaceable and not so easy to erase.

When Emperor Wen Zhao thought that if Xiaojiu was not there, Fifteen might be ruined, he became furious and snorted coldly: "Then what do you say we should do?"

The Queen patiently advised, "I feel that their fate as mother and son may not be over yet. Why not leave it as it is for now without any action? According to age, Fifteen should have moved out long ago."

"Your Majesty, when I think of what Tong Tong said, that everyone in the palace will have to line up to get their lunch boxes, and there will only be a few left in the end, I get nervous."

"Since we live in a palace struggle, I think the reason why everyone died in the end may be the key to this word 'fighting'. If everyone does not fight, then everyone will survive."

"So I thought, if we encounter any problems in the future, we should take it slow and not rush to deal with them. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Wen Zhao had not yet served as emperor for long enough, so he certainly did not want to die. He nodded without even thinking, "What the queen said makes sense. I will do as you say."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "I, on behalf of Concubine Dun, thank Your Majesty."

Emperor Wen Zhao helped the empress up and patted her hands: "In this harem, it is my empress who is most capable of taking care of the overall situation. Over the years, it is thanks to you that I can rest assured in the former dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I am not as good as you say." The Queen smiled softly, but in her heart she rolled her eyes like the Royal Concubine.

If you really think she is so good, why not just stay with her? Why do you have to keep adding new people to your harem?

Emperor Wen Zhao said angrily: "Your Majesty, why should you be so modest? In my heart, the Empress is..."

The heartless man kept telling lies, and the queen was too lazy to listen. Suddenly, she interrupted him with a cry, "Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you that the eldest prince's wife is pregnant."

The eldest prince is His Majesty's first child. The feelings towards the first child are always different. Moreover, the eldest prince is capable of both civil and military skills, and is respectful, prudent and filial. He still likes this eldest son very much.

However, he has not had any children for so many years, which makes him quite worried.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen Zhao was in a very good mood. He patted the empress on the shoulder with his big hand and laughed: "Good, good, this is really good news."

Emperor Wen Zhao was also a talented warrior with great strength. In his excitement, he failed to control his strength and slapped the empress on the shoulder, causing her to lower her body and almost fall to the ground.

Fortunately, the Empress subconsciously reached out and hugged Emperor Wen Zhao's waist, and then he stood firm. She was so angry that she said, "Your Majesty, how can I stand you hitting me like this?"

As the two of them grew older, the Empress rarely showed her little womanly attitude in front of Emperor Wen Zhao. Such a resentful remark reminded Emperor Wen Zhao of the warm time when they had just got married, and his heart sweetened.

He laughed heartily, holding the empress's hand and walking out: "Come on, let's go and meet Xiaojiu. If Xiaojiu is fine after this Double Ninth Festival, I will appoint her as the crown prince."

The empress suddenly looked towards Emperor Wen Zhao. She had just said that the eldest prince's wife was pregnant, and His Majesty said that a crown prince should be appointed. Did he mean that the eldest prince should be appointed?

The queen was delighted and wanted to ask tentatively, but thinking of the emperor's suspicious nature, she suppressed her impulse and pretended nothing had happened as she followed him out.

As soon as I reached the gate of the palace, I saw those two troublesome guys using their four arms to make a chair, carrying Xiaojiu and walking into the courtyard.

The chubby little girl put her arms around her two older sisters' necks, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing. Just looking at her made me feel better.

The emperor and the empress both laughed, and untied their hands at the same time. They simultaneously reached out to the little girl and said in unison, "Come here, Xiaojiu."

This damn tacit understanding made the two of them look at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Princess Seventh and Eighth did not expect that the Emperor and the Empress would actually come out to greet them. They immediately put Xiaojiu on the ground, and the three of them bowed and paid their respects.

Emperor Wen Zhao shouted, then bent down and waved to Xiao Jiu: "Come here, father."

Ji Jinyou walked forward, raised her little head, looked at the tall emperor, and called him "Father" sweetly.

Emperor Wen Zhao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's chubby waist and picked her up. "Xiao Jiu, do you miss your father?"

Ji Jinyou nodded in response. Your Majesty, you didn't even know me yesterday, and you want me to miss you today. How is that possible?

The Queen saw this and recalled the time when she asked the same question and the little girl leaned close to her face and said she missed her. She couldn't help but smile with pride.

You see, children are the most sincere. If they miss someone, they don’t hide it at all. If they don’t, they just nod their heads without saying a word.

The emperor carried Xiaojiu inside, and the empress followed with the seventh and eighth princesses. The eighth princess looked around and didn't see the imperial concubine, so she asked curiously, "Mother, isn't my mother here?"

Emperor Wen Zhao, who was walking in front, snorted coldly: "I don't want to see her recently. What is she doing here?"

The Eighth Princess recalled how her mother had made His Majesty so angry that he almost called the imperial physician. She secretly made a face at the Seventh Princess and dared not say another word.

The seventh princess covered her mouth and giggled, then reached out and pinched her, signaling her to be good.

Ji Jinyou wondered: [Tongzhu, why did His Majesty lose his temper with the Imperial Concubine yesterday? He even didn't want to see her anymore.]

System: [Who knows? The old emperor is so shameless. Thanks to the imperial concubine who really loved him, the two of them were very affectionate for a while. Who would have thought that he would kill the imperial concubine for another woman in the end? It can be seen that he is a beast.]

Ji Jinyou sighed: [Your Majesty's concubines are so unlucky. ]

Emperor Wen Zhao listened to Yi Wa Yi Tong secretly cursing him, reflected on himself, and felt that what he had done was wrong.

After all, the Royal Concubine already knew that he was the one who killed her in the end, but she never made a fuss and never blamed him. It was obvious that he was still in her heart.

Emperor Wen Zhao had no idea that when a woman doesn't even blame you, it means she has completely given up on you.

He thought about it for a while and told Liang Quan: "Send someone to Furong Palace to invite the imperial concubine to have dinner together."

Liang Quan responded and turned around to give instructions.

Soon, the Royal Consort arrived. She first walked up to His Majesty and apologized and expressed gratitude. Her deliberately flattering attitude was completely different from her usual behavior.

The emperor was a calm person, but he could hear some strangeness in her gentle words, and he was so angry that he had a heart attack. "Okay, hurry up."

As soon as everyone sat down, Liang Quan hurried in to report that someone from Concubine Hui's palace had come to bring good news.

A concubine came to announce the good news, which meant she was pregnant. The Empress and the Imperial Concubine looked at each other and both frowned.

Emperor Wen Zhao was in a good mood, so he nodded and said, "Come in, I want to hear if there is any happy event today."

The maid from Concubine Hui's palace came in, greeted everyone one by one, and then smiled and said, "This old servant congratulates Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Royal Concubine. Concubine Hui is pregnant."

When Emperor Wen Zhao heard this, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Really, this is a great joyous event."

The Empress and the Imperial Concubine said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of another son."

Emperor Wen Zhao liked what he heard. He laughed and stood up, and hurried out: "Empress, you take the children to eat, I will go and take a look."

Ji Jinyou wondered: [Tong, what exactly is this Concubine Hui capable of? Why does His Majesty like her so much?]

The system sneered: [She doesn't have any great ability, she's just good at flattering. Every time the old emperor goes to her, she says things that the old emperor likes to hear. How can he not like her?]

Ji Jinyou: [Being able to speak is a skill, and knowing what His Majesty likes to hear is an even greater skill.]

The Queen looked at the Imperial Concubine. Listen to what Xiaojiu said. Even a three-year-old child understands this principle, but you don't understand it and always go against His Majesty.

The Imperial Concubine didn't think so. She didn't care about putting herself in a difficult position to please a man.

Ji Jinyou asked again: [Did Concubine Hui survive in the end? ]

The system flipped through it: [No, the character summary shows that the final ending is also death.]

Ji Jinyou: [What about her child? ]

System: [According to the data, the child was never born. It was said that she had a conflict with someone and the child died in her belly.]

Ji Jinyou: [Who did the conflict start with? ]
