The Queen Mother was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. If she was asked to bless the Empress's legitimate son, she would be honored to do so. But if she was asked to bless the Imperial Concubine's son, she felt insulted.
“Your Majesty, I am the empress dowager. If I really bless the Sixth Prince, he may not be able to bear the blessing I bestow.” The empress dowager is now constrained by Emperor Jing of Wei. She cannot refuse his request, but she feels aggrieved to agree to it.
"Empress Dowager, you are Chengsi's ancestor. How could Chengsi not be able to accept your blessing?" Concubine Yun said this on purpose. She knew that the Empress Dowager didn't want to see Chengsi alive, but Chengsi and herself both survived. She would definitely seize every opportunity to make things difficult for the Empress Dowager.
“Empress Dowager, there are rumors everywhere in the palace. If you can do something for Chengsi, it will help dispel everyone’s suspicion.” Emperor Jing of Wei said that it was the Empress Dowager who wanted to harm Concubine Yun and Chengsi.
The Queen Mother was immediately caught in the middle, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The Emperor and Concubine Yun said that I am good, and Chengsi is also my grandson. How can I ignore him?"
Concubine Shu ordered the wet nurse to carry Su Chengsi to the front of the empress dowager. On the other side, a palace maid had prepared a clean bottle filled with water and a few willow branches in it.
The Queen Mother took out a willow branch and flicked it at Su Chengsi a few times: "Chengsi, my good grandson must grow up safely."
The blessing was simple. When the blessing was over, Concubine Yun deliberately disgusted the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Yun with a strange look.
The next second, Yuan Yu, who was holding Su Chengsi and walking towards Concubine Shu's breast, suddenly felt the ground spinning and the sky was dizzy, and he rolled down from the high platform holding Su Chengsi.
“Chengsi!” Concubine Yun screamed miserably, but she could only watch helplessly as her nurse carried Su Chengsi down the stairs.
Su Chenyu was also shocked by the sudden change in front of her, and almost flew down the stairs to check on Su Chengsi's condition.
The little boy was strong and suffered some injuries after rolling down the stairs, but his life was not in danger.
But Su Chengsi was just a baby in swaddling clothes, and was inherently fragile. As he rolled over, he fell out of his wet nurse's arms and fell straight onto the white jade steps. He stopped breathing in an instant, and he couldn't even utter a cry.
"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Su Chenyu shouted. No matter what Concubine Yun did, the child was innocent.
Concubine Yun's legs were weak and she couldn't walk, so she was helped down the stairs by the palace maids. She looked at Su Chengsi who fell to the ground, and pushed away the palace maids who were helping her like a madman. She wanted to pick up her child, but because her legs were weak, she fell directly to the ground.
Concubine Yun almost crawled to Su Chengsi's side. She knelt beside the child, slowly stretched out her hands to pick him up from the ground, and gently patted the swaddling clothes: "Chengsi, don't be afraid, Concubine Yun is here..."
Su Chenyu turned her head away and did not continue watching this scene.
She didn't feel sorry for Concubine Yun, but for Su Chengsi. Su Chenyu didn't know how much Emperor Jing of Wei really loved this child, but he really wanted to use this child to balance the forces of several parties.
From the moment he survived, Su Chengsi was destined to be a chess piece.
Su Chenyu first looked at Wei Jingdi, who had grief in his eyes, but not much, more of a look of hope. He was looking back, and his own plan was forced to end with the death of Su Chengsi.
Then, Su Chenyu noticed that the Queen Mother's eyes were still filled with pride and joy, and she began to wonder if this was something the Queen Mother had planned?
Su Chenyu's gaze fell on the shivering nurse beside her. The person who took care of her child must have been carefully selected by Concubine Yun.
When the baby rolled down the stairs just now, the grandma's first reaction was to protect the child first. It shouldn't be intentional. So what happened?
