Xie Yanci entered the inner hall and came to the side of Concubine Wen. Seeing her pale face and her anxious and restless stroking her abdomen several times, he felt sorry for her.
"Your Majesty, what did the imperial physician say?"
"The imperial physician said it's a matter of constitution, and everyone's situation is different. Yuexi, you're more likely to have it when you're pregnant..."
"So what should we do?!"
This child is her hope for a comeback!
If she died without knowing why, she would never forgive herself in her life!
Xie Yanci glanced at Eunuch Yang, who understood and quickly invited Yu Pei in.
"Master Yu?"
"Your humble servant greets the noble lady Wen, and wishes good luck to the young lady."
"Your Majesty, why is he here?" Concubine Wen's brows were filled with anxiety. "It's my child. Is there something wrong?"
"That's not the case."
So the emperor ordered Yu Pei to tell him the whole story and asked for her opinion.
"Yuexi, you know that there's no place for you to rest near the city gate. But if the astrological conflict comes true, not only you, but your elder sister will also be in trouble. I've thought about it over and over, but I can't think of a good solution. What do you think?"
"I'll think about it."
She was worried about not being able to think of a good solution, so she asked Xie Yanci to let her go home to take care of the baby. As a result, God gave her the opportunity.
Is there such a good thing?
Noblewoman Wen suppressed her inner joy and pretended to hesitate: "In fact, my mother is very good at preparing meals to support pregnancy. The old mother beside her is also my wet nurse and has taken care of many pregnant women. If they were here, I would..."
As she spoke, she raised her head to examine Xie Yanci's expression, then rejected the idea on her own, "However, this matter certainly violates the rules of Yonghua Palace. My rank is not high enough to allow my family members to enter the palace at will."
Xie Yanci was obviously also considering the feasibility: "Yes. Moreover, your mother entered the palace, and the Imperial Concubine..."
Tsk, a concubine is qualified to step into the Yonghua Palace?!
Noblewoman Wen scoffed inwardly, but maintained her usual expression as she leaned into his embrace. "I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty, nor do I want to make my elder sister unhappy. So, Your Majesty, please find a reason to send me out of the palace. Once I've given birth, you can bring me back."
"What?! Send away?"
"Yes, for example, my concubine was experiencing pregnancy problems, and for the sake of the emperor's heir, I was willing to leave the palace to pray for blessings. It's not uncommon for my family to come and help."
This sounds extremely reasonable.
Since Noble Lady Wen took the initiative to make concessions, he had nothing more to say.
Xie Yanci stroked her hair gently: "It's just that the bumpy road back and forth must have been tough on you."
"I don't feel bitter. Firstly, I am thinking about the emperor and my child. This little trouble is nothing. Secondly, I am considering my eldest sister's situation. If our child is really defeated, the emperor loves my eldest sister so much and he certainly doesn't want to see an outcome where both sides suffer. I only ask that after the child is born, the emperor will remember what I did today and give him some love. I don't ask for much, just a little bit."
"Yuexi, you're getting more and more confused! My own child, how can I treat him with charity and pampering?" Xie Yanci sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, once the child is born, I will promise you wealth and glory, and I will never let you down."
Wei Shuyi was waiting outside the whole time. When he heard the emperor's promise, he couldn't help but think of his daughter who died young.
Zhaohua had been treated like a legitimate princess, enjoying countless honors, but ended up with such a tragic ending. I hope this child doesn't suffer the same fate.
When Yu Pei came out of the inner room, he exchanged glances with her: "My young lady is still here?"
"Since I told the Emperor that I had come to the Yanxi Palace specifically to visit Concubine Wen, how could I leave quietly at this time?" She responded with a double meaning, "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist Yu."
"Practice makes perfect. I hope your wish will come true."
Wen Yu waited until he was far away before leaning close to Wei Shuyi's ear and asking, "Miss, I've already sent a secret signal. As soon as Lady Wen's carriage leaves the palace, there will definitely be..."
"Shh, got it."
Xie Yanqing stayed in Prince Lian's mansion, repeatedly looking at the small piece of paper and muttering to himself.
"Ever since I sent this girl to Yonghua Palace, she's become increasingly difficult to understand. Did I go to so much trouble just to get the fifth young lady of the Qu family out of the palace?"
The guard quickly responded, "Miss Wen Yu has even asked the boss for reinforcements. I'm afraid they have some plans."
"Last time, I listened to her and took such a huge risk by tampering with the plowing ceremony. Fortunately, I bribed the people in the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, if they found out that Prince Lian's mansion was suspected of murdering the royal heir and the imperial concubine, do you think I could get away with it?"
"Yes, thanks to the prince's clever plan, I was able to escape."
"However, since she wants to play, I will accompany her to the end. I will naturally provide her with the necessary assistance. I will wait and see what the results will be!"
In order to conceal his tracks, before Concubine Wen's carriage officially set off, Xie Yanci arranged for an identical carriage to leave Yonghua Palace first.
Then, in the evening, the imperial guards dressed up as coachmen and attendants and escorted her to the residence of the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
She despised the stupidity of her servants, so she naturally didn't take Mu Tao out. After getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Eldest sister, your influence in the palace is destined to be greater than mine. Once I give birth successfully and receive a promotion, I'll settle our past debts with you! You hired someone to assassinate me, waited for an opportunity to poison me, I still remember every single one! However, this time the fetus moved, you've given me a good opportunity. Just wait! Of our two children, only one is destined to survive!"
She lowered her head and stroked her bulging belly with a loving look, but the words she spoke were full of resentment.
She didn't understand: in terms of birth, she was the legitimate daughter, while Concubine Jin was a concubine's daughter. Why, after Yu Huai's visit, were they treated the same? In terms of appearance, she was no less beautiful than Concubine Jin, and she was more able to understand the emperor's heart. Why did the emperor favor that person?
"Perhaps, my good child, only you, a prince with extraordinary talent, can turn the situation around for your mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped!
She didn't react in time and bumped into the wooden board!
"What's going on?!"
The imperial guard who was originally sitting in the coachman's seat was silent at this moment.
Concubine Wen carefully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and found that he was leaning against the same place, with a stream of blood spurting out of his neck and splashing directly onto her!
“Ah!! Help, someone come quickly!!”
This place was still some distance away from Qu Mansion in the capital. She got back into the carriage in fear and called for help in a terrified state.
Someone outside seemed to respond to her, and the horse sped forward, faster and faster, until the wheels hit several large rocks, throwing her out of the carriage and onto the ground!
