In front of her "dead" child, no matter what Concubine Jin said, it seemed pale and powerless.
Sang Yu knelt in the front hall and told Xie Yanci, "Your Majesty, Jia Wanrong miscarried because she was too frightened, which caused emotional fluctuations, and then she was beaten severely. If there weren't so many unexpected things, perhaps this would be good news."
He is extremely good at socializing. He can not only make Jiang Yuanzheng smile, but also make the equally mediocre "apprentices" obey his orders.
Therefore, in a very short period of time, he became a disciple of Jiang Yuanzheng and was qualified to come and "see the world."
The emperor glanced at the woman still lying on the couch, weeping, and sighed, "Yang Mingrui, send Jia Wanrong back to Sang Yuxuan. I will go with her."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Jin hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, do you not believe what I said? I really did not use private punishment on her. Everyone in Chengqian Palace can testify to this!"
"But she only brought Wen Yu with her." Xie Yanci responded in a low voice, "Gossip can melt gold. No matter what Wen Yu says, you have something to refute. Even for the sake of the child, I shouldn't abandon its mother."
Imperial Concubine Jin suddenly quieted down and made way for him. "Your Majesty is right. I am also worried about Jia Wanrong's situation. I hope there won't be any more trouble. Especially, please don't let there be any estrangement between me and Your Majesty."
"You should rest early."
Xie Yanci slowly left the side hall and happened to see the other two concubines waiting anxiously.
"Why are they here?"
Eunuch Yang immediately responded, "Your Majesty, I didn't leak the news! I was just running to Lin'an Palace to get something, and was seen by Consort Xin from the Jiaofeng Palace next door. As for why Lady Shu Shunyi came..."
"That's a good thing. It's rare to see such deep sisterly love in the palace."
He walked over and said, "I have already arranged for someone to send Jia Wanrong back to Sang Yuxuan. There is no need for you to stay here and wait."
"Your Majesty, how is my sister?" Shu Shunyi concealed her unnecessary emotions. "I was also careless. My sister had morning sickness earlier, and I thought it was because she couldn't stand the smell of meat. It turned out to be a big mistake!"
"Don't blame yourself, I'm also at fault."
Concubine Xin said nothing, but followed him with a sullen face, muttering to herself: "Do you know you're wrong now? It turns out you're the one who favors Concubine Jin and always blames Sister Jia?"
"This happened so suddenly, I don't understand why my sister became like this after just one visit to Chengqian Palace?" Shu Shunyi feigned confusion. "My sister is not infirm, and her sudden miscarriage caught everyone off guard. I hope Your Majesty won't be too sad."
"It's the imperial concubine." "What?!"
"Although I don't know the inside story, I know in my heart that it was the Imperial Concubine who did it. Xu died on the spot during the birthday banquet, so there's no evidence to prove her. She'll definitely take her anger out on someone else. Yao'er has suffered so much!"
Concubine Xin couldn't help but speak up: "Since the emperor knows everything clearly, why doesn't he vent his anger on behalf of Sister Jia? I also saw it clearly from outside just now. The emperor didn't even want to say a harsh word, and fortunately he comforted the imperial concubine! Sister Jia has lost another child! You..."
“Ahem!”
The more Eunuch Yang listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he quickly stopped them by coughing.
Xie Yanci waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let her continue."
"In short, I hope that the Emperor can correct his mistakes as soon as he realizes them, rather than allowing them to continue. Little do you know that in the process, it will also cause heartbreaks that will be difficult to mend. I hope that Sister Jia and the Emperor can live in harmony, rather than becoming a couple of resentment!"
Shu Shunyi looked at her in astonishment and decided to add a few words to ease the situation: "Your Majesty, Sister Xin has no ill intentions. She was just frightened by the news, so she spoke like this..."
"It's okay, she's right."
The emperor stopped and engaged in a struggle between heaven and man.
He certainly knew the right thing to do, but he couldn't do it now, or all his efforts would be wasted. He wanted to give the people he cared about a sense of security, but fate had given him a difficult situation, preventing him from moving forward.
Jia Wanrong...
He finally made a decision.
——
In the autumn of the sixth year of Emperor Yunwu's reign, Wei Shuyi was promoted again because of the "tragic loss of the royal heir" and became Jiapin, a fourth-rank concubine.
After receiving the imperial edict, she did not react much. She was still sick and lay back in bed.
"Girl, are you unhappy?"
"Happy, but also sad." "Why is that?"
She stared at the worn-out Mo He painting. "I was able to avoid the Imperial Concubine's threat, escape right under her nose, and even get promoted. I'm happy. But Doctor Sang's medicine was too strong. When I felt blood under my skirt, I was really scared. I thought of Zhao Hua vomiting blood. I have a feeling that this is not a good omen, and I'm sad."
Wen Yu lowered her eyes: "Miss, the emperor will come again tonight, will you still ignore him?"
"After all, she lost a child. As a mother, you can't just turn around and flatter and pander, right?"
So, Xie Yanci was turned away again.
Through the door, Wei Shuyi coughed exaggeratedly while persuading, "Your Majesty, I am truly ill now. To avoid giving you the bad vibe, I'd better not come in. Yonghe Palace is empty, and Shu Shunyi is timid. I miss her so much, why don't you go see her?"
"Yao'er, besides this, don't you have anything else to say?"
"No, it's not meant to be. Don't force it." She held it in for a long time, but couldn't help sobbing. "Perhaps, I don't deserve the blessing of having children in this life. Your Majesty, please go visit Shu Shunyi on my behalf!"
Xie Yanci felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
He turned and left Lin'an Palace, deciding to find the intelligent and wise woman to confide his troubles.
The encounter in the imperial garden, the dance deep in his memory, and the bamboo leaf flute once again deepened the impression in his mind, and for a moment his feelings for Shu Shunyi reached a peak.
"emperor?"
"Yu'er, I came to see you." He saw the shock in her eyes, and a flash of joy. "Are you afraid after Xu leaves?"
"It's okay, but it always feels a bit eerie late at night. I asked Tong Jun to light all the candles in the inner hall so that I can sleep peacefully."
The emperor nodded slightly and pulled her to sit down. "I also feel that this palace is rather unlucky. We need to invite someone to come and perform a ritual. So, you can move to another palace!"
"Ah? Where does Your Majesty want me to live?"
Shu Shunyi's eyebrows and eyes are actually not similar to those of the old friend. The only thing that can be imagined is the tranquil temperament that lingers around her.
He admitted that he was impulsive and inexplicably wanted to find "Miss Wei" to reminisce about the past.
"Yu'er, you can move to Yanxi Palace. Noble Lady Wen has returned home, so no one will disturb you. After tonight, you will no longer be Shunyi, but my Shuwanyi. How do you think?"
