But it turns out that although Concubine Qiao is old, she is not stupid.
"Your Majesty, now that you know why the Grand Duke has to be sick, and that the Emperor has chosen you, you shouldn't be so willful as to break this layer of window paper at this time." Jiang Ying pulled the corner of his mouth.
What's the point of talking to her? Can she still ask the emperor to spare the child of the adulterer and the whore?
I'm afraid I'm tired of living!
And obviously, Concubine Qiao herself didn't dare to do it, so she was angry and embarrassed.
Hearing this, Concubine Qiao's wet eyes widened slightly, as if she couldn't believe it, "People say that Dr. Jiang is kind-hearted, but I never thought that you would say such things as soon as you opened your mouth!"
Jiang Ying smiled and sat down, "What do you want from me, Your Majesty? Risking the crime of deceiving the emperor to save the Duke from danger?
In my opinion, this matter is not difficult to handle, but when the emperor is angry, there will be millions of corpses. Even if you don't care about yourself, there are dozens of people in the Jiang family. What qualifications do you have to decide their life and death?
Likewise, I advise your Majesty to think more before making a decision."
In fact, Jiang Ying's words were a bit harsh.
Does she really not have any sinister feelings at all?
If there really wasn't any, they wouldn't have added detoxifying herbs to the Grand Duke's medicine. Although the effect is not as good as the detoxification pills, it can neutralize the toxicity of the poison that the Grand Duke was poisoned with, alleviate the symptoms, and there is absolutely no problem in living a little longer!
But she hasn't thought of more yet.
At least we should let the emperor get over his anger for a while, right?
Concubine Qiao was speechless. Listening to the crying of the Grand Duke on the bed, she couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief again.
Jiang Ying looked away and didn't look.
After a while, Concubine Qiao spoke, her voice carrying a hint of loneliness, "You have been to the palace so many times, you must have heard people in the palace say that I can't have children."
Jiang Ying: "..."
Blinking blankly.
We dare not ask or talk about this kind of thing!
I can only let Concubine Qiao do as she pleases.
Princess Qiao had generous and bright facial features and a seemingly coquettish personality, but in fact she was quite forthright like a woman, so she did not hide the fact that she was pregnant.
She pinched her fingers and lowered her head and said, "For a woman, not being able to survive is of course a very regrettable and sad thing, but in fact, I have already let it go.
From another perspective, there are many disadvantages of having a healthy diet, such as losing your figure and having loose private parts, but these are just side effects.
Raising children is exhausting and worrying about them being harmed is a lifelong worry.
So, I have figured it out in the past few years. Not being able to have children has its advantages. At least when the emperor and I are together, I don’t have to worry about my mother’s family becoming too powerful. After all, without a prince, how big can their ambitions be? "
Jiang Ying pretended to be listening attentively, but his mind was actually wandering.
껩I don't know what Concubine Qiao is up to when she suddenly pours out her heart to her.
Finally, after talking about a lot of random things, Princess Qiao got to the point.
She suddenly perked up and sat up straight, "This palace was destined not to have children, so I have been deliberately showing lukewarm attitude towards all the princes and dukes, so that the emperor would think that this palace does not like children. Before the Grand Duke was sent to my palace, this palace was definitely like this...
However, after just a few days of getting along, I realized how lovable and lovely the child is. So, Madam Jiang, can I ask you to try to save the Grand Duke's life? As for the rest, I will think of a way. What do you think?"
After hearing Concubine Qiao's earnest advice, Jiang Ying took a deep breath.
There was a hint of incomprehensible shock in her eyes.
Concubine Qiao knew this would happen, and laughed at herself, "I know, you must be scolding me in your heart for being stupid and having bad intentions. As a good concubine, I don't think about how to please the emperor, but do something like this that ruins my future and even involves the family."
Jiang Ying lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No, I just think that your Majesty still has a conscience, which is rare in the deep palace."
"So you agree to help me, right?" Concubine Qiao grabbed Jiang Ying's arm excitedly.
The two were very close, Concubine Qiao smelled sweet and had a faint scent of milk, which showed that she spent a lot of time hugging the Grand Duke.
With a slight curl of his lips, Jiang Ying helped Concubine Qiao up and whispered in her ear, "As your Majesty wishes."
The latter's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
He stared at Jiang Ying for several seconds, and was sure that she really meant it. Only then did he smile with joy but did not dare to laugh out loud.
She nodded continuously, "I understand, I understand, don't worry, you only know about this, no third person will know about it.
As for the maid who just left and came back, she actually came here with Mianmian. I know very well that she followed the emperor's orders and has been secretly giving Mianmian medicine. She even changed Mianmian's food several times when she wasn't paying attention.
But this is not the solution.
It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
That's why I took the opportunity to call you over when Mianmian had a high fever. I thought that since you are a parent, you would definitely not want to see Mianmian suffer the consequences for her parents' mistakes.
As long as we delay and prevent Mianmian from dying of illness, I will definitely find a way to send Mianmian away, let her stay away from the palace, and become an ordinary citizen in hiding!"
Mianmian? This should be the name given to the Grand Duchess by Concubine Qiao.
Intimate cotton padded trousers.
It can be seen that Concubine Qiao really likes the Grand Duchess, which is why she is willing to fight for her like this.
This unexpectedly touched Jiang Ying again. She had an unformed idea in her mind that might help Concubine Qiao achieve her goal, but now was not the time to talk about it, so Jiang Ying stood up and said goodbye, "It's almost dawn, and we have to go up the mountain to watch the autumn hunt. I won't stay any longer. Your Majesty, please take the Duke to rest for a while. Staying up late is very harmful to your health."
"Okay, I'll take you there." Concubine Qiao achieved her goal, and she looked energetic and didn't look tired at all.
Poor Jiang Ying could hardly hold his eyelids open!
But she didn't have any time to sleep at all. She went back and immediately started packing her things. It was okay for the adults, but the children had especially many things. Moreover, neither she nor Yan Zhuo had ever thought of leaving the children in the palace.
It's fine to do anything under my own nose, but if it's in the palace, even if there are many royal guards guarding it, I will not feel at ease!
What's more, all the powerful masters outside the emperor's gate must have been taken away!
While the maids were tidying up, Jiang Ying lay on the bed and took a short nap.
But as soon as the monkey got on the bed, he started to bother her.
"Mother...you're amazing!"
In his hand, Xiao Yan held a wooden Kongming lock, which was so difficult that a three or four-year-old child with almost no IQ could not solve it. However, he solved it in no time and showed off in front of the proud Jiang Ying.
Little did he know that Jiang Ying had already known that his two lifetimes combined would be almost twenty-one years old!
"Well, it's amazing~ Our family is the best, but mother is very sleepy, let mother sleep for a while, can you go find father?" Jiang Ying was almost begging for mercy.
Once again I regret not being more careful with my words last night!
This dog prince, could it be that he secretly took aphrodisiacs? How come his physical strength and energy are so high!
Yan Zhuo went to see Lao Hei and made sure that the mount he would use on the battlefield later was safe. When he returned to the house, he felt sorry for Jiang Ying for a second, and then decisively picked him up for his son.
While opening the door, he instructed Siyu and the others, "Stop for a while and let the princess rest for an incense stick. There's no rush."
