After realizing this, Lin Xiangru immediately began to search. She searched everywhere for Qiuyue. She was more worried that Situ Yao had sent someone to take Qiuyue away while she was asleep than that she was afraid that Qiuyue had disappeared.
You should know that not long after Qiuyue was born, Situ Yao had planned to give this little girl away.
At this moment, she heard some movement in the nanny's room. Without thinking too much, Lin Xiangru immediately pushed open the nanny's room.
Sure enough, Qiuyue was in the nurse's arms, breathing heavily. Lin Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at the nurse, "You daring slave! You took Qiuyue away without permission and made me look for her for so long."
The wet nurse didn't expect that Lin Xiangru would find her and start scolding her without any hesitation.
She had just been arranged here, so they only met briefly before Lin Xiangru fell asleep. After Lin Xiangru fell asleep, the wet nurse was worried about the child, so she went into the room to take a look. She saw Qiuyue with her big eyes open, her little hands constantly scratching around, and her mouth arched all over the place.
After all, the wet nurse had given birth to a child before, so she knew the child was hungry when she saw the child's appearance. Seeing that Lin Xiangru was sleeping soundly, the wet nurse didn't want to wake her up, so she thought of quietly picking up the child and feeding her some milk, and then sending the child back after she was full.
However, she did not expect that before she sent the child back, Lin Xiangru came to the door and scolded her indiscriminately.
But the wet nurse was a wet nurse after all, and Lin Xiangru was his master after all. Even if she was scolded, the wet nurse did not say a word.
Qiuyue, who was sleeping soundly in Lin Xiangru's arms, was also woken up by Lin Xiangru's scolding.
"Waaaaah!" The child was frightened and immediately started crying uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangru no longer cared about the wet nurse. He immediately held the child in his arms and coaxed him in a low voice.
"Oh, Qiuyue, be good and don't cry."
After a long while, Qiuyue fell asleep again with Lin Xiangru's comfort.
Seeing the little one in her arms changing day by day, Lin Xiangru's heart gradually softened, and she suddenly felt that having a child was not bad.
During the time she was coaxing the child, Lin Xiangru's mind was completely distracted from her previous thoughts. She was only thinking about how to coax the child to sleep.
After some careful consideration, Lin Xiangru knew that since he had saved the child, he did not want anything to happen to the child. In that case, why didn't he raise the child well?
On the other hand, the Empress Dowager learned that Cui Mixue had given birth to a daughter. Although she felt it was not a son, she was still very happy. After all, it was the first of her great-grandsons.
However, she remembered what Situ Zhao had done, and was very worried that Situ Yao would implicate the child because of Situ Zhao's affairs.
So, after getting the news, she immediately rushed to the imperial study, wanting to get some information from Situ Yao.
In the heart of the Empress Dowager, the child was innocent no matter what. Even if Situ Zhao had framed Situ Yao, what did that have to do with the child?
So, as soon as they arrived at the Imperial Study, the Grand Empress Dowager spoke: "Your Majesty, I heard that Cui Mixue gave birth to a daughter. I wonder what status Your Majesty plans to give this child."
Situ Yao had considered this matter before. Initially, he had thought about giving the child away, but Lin Xiangru had stopped him. He also knew that the heir of the royal family could not be left alone.
But when he remembered that this child was Situ Zhao's, he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
Now even the Empress Dowager has brought this child to him to ask for his status, so Situ Yao has no choice but to give him face.
After thinking for a moment, Situ Yao said, "What the Empress Dowager said is true. Since she is our royal heir, she must have status. However, the Empress Dowager also knows that Situ Zhao tried to usurp the throne and killed my father, so he is doomed to die. The child's mother is not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility, so she is thinking of raising the child with the Empress and making her a princess."
This was the best solution that Situ Yao had thought of. The royal heirs could not be left outside, and this child was Situ Zhao's. He was not at ease leaving him with someone else, so he thought of putting the child in Su Mengyan's care. No matter what, this child would not cause any big trouble under his own eyes.
He thought this was the best solution, but the Empress Dowager frowned after hearing it. She remembered that Su Mengyan was pregnant and the baby would be born soon.
In this case, the two children are almost the same age, one is her biological child and the other is not, so how could Su Mengyan not be partial to the child?
No matter what Situ Yao and Su Mengyan thought, in the heart of the Empress Dowager, these were her great-grandchildren, and naturally they could not be wronged.
So, she said to Situ Yao, "Although it would be best to have the child by the Queen's side, the Queen is pregnant and will give birth soon. The two children are almost the same, so it's inevitable that she will be partial."
Situ Yao was somewhat displeased when he heard what the Empress Dowager said. He had let bygones be bygones and let his wife raise a child for his enemy, but now he was opposed by the Empress Dowager.
"What does this mean, Grandmother? If even the Queen cannot be trusted, then who do you think this child should be placed with?" Situ Yao said to the Grand Empress Dowager unhappily.
The Empress Dowager had experienced a lot. When she saw Situ Yao's expression, she knew that he was dissatisfied. However, she was her great-granddaughter, and she would not let her suffer any loss.
Therefore, she had to come up with a good method to satisfy Situ Yao.
However, there is not a single concubine in the harem who can give birth to children. What should I do?
Suddenly, the Empress Dowager remembered that when she went to see the child, the child was being taken care of by Lin Xiangru. Although Lin Xiangru had not yet become pregnant and had children, she could see that Lin Xiangru was taking care of Qiuyue very seriously.
Moreover, Lin Xiangru was the daughter of the prime minister.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager immediately had an idea in her mind: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Do you still remember the Prime Minister's daughter, Lin Xiangru, also known as Lin Guiren?"
Situ Yao naturally felt that Lin Xiangru had a lot to do with this matter, but why did the Empress Dowager mention this person at this time?
Then Situ Yao heard the Empress Dowager say, "When I went to see the child, I noticed that although Lin Xiangru had no children, he was very grateful to take care of Qiuyue. I thought it would be a great idea to place the child in Lin Xiangru's care. Moreover, his father is the Prime Minister. Letting Lin Xiangru raise a child can also help to calm the Prime Minister's heart."
