The prime minister was naturally excited that his family could produce a future emperor. He listened to Bai Chi's arrangements without any objection. Even when Bai Chi asked Mo Yunxiao to arrange two people to go to the prime minister's residence, he nodded repeatedly.
As for the possibility of them leaking secrets, Bai Chi told them not to worry. Since Bai Chi said so, the prime minister naturally didn't think about it anymore.
His daughter, no, his son, is too capable. If he does make a name for himself, he will be a sensation. As a father, he is no longer qualified to discipline him.
It’s not because I’m afraid of Eunuch Mo standing next to my son that I dare not talk nonsense!
As soon as the prime minister left, Concubine Xian came to the imperial study with a pale face. As soon as Bai Chi asked someone to let her in, Concubine Xian knelt down in front of Bai Chi with a "thump".
"Empress!"
The voice is so sad that it makes people cry.
Bai Chi signaled with his eyes to Mo Yunxiao beside him, and Mo Yunxiao took the other servants out first, but he himself did not go far, just guarding the door.
Then Bai Chi slowly walked forward, gently helped Concubine Xian up, and sat down beside her.
"You know everything?"
Bai Chi poured her a cup of hot water with a calm expression.
There was embarrassment in Concubine Xian's eyes. She was also the daughter of a prominent family. Even if she did not enter the palace, she would marry someone of equal status.
However, now, she was told that although she had become the emperor's concubine, she was defiled by an unknown man and even gave birth to a child.
Only today did she find out that the child was so terrible that she didn't even dare to look at her child for the past two days, for fear of showing disgust and making the child sad.
Bai Chi had asked Xiao Hei to pay attention to Concubine Xian's situation these days, so he knew everything. Seeing Concubine Xian was heartbroken, he knew that what she had learned since childhood made her unable to accept such a thing.
So he just got straight to the point.
"I have found the father of the child. If you want to meet him, I can arrange for him to guard your palace first. As long as you control the mouths of those around you, no one will hinder you no matter what you do."
"Of course, if you still have a sweetheart, I can arrange for him to live in your palace, or find a way to get you out of the palace. However, it will take at least two years before you can leave."
When Bai Chi said this, Concubine Xian was dumbfounded, and the embarrassment and grief from before seemed to freeze on her face in an instant.
"If you can't accept all of this, I also have a way to make you and the child's father forget all of this. You can just stay in the palace and raise the child peacefully from now on."
"But there is one thing I need to make clear. The emperor is already unable to move. Even if you choose the third path, you will only be a widow in the palace for the rest of your life."
Bai Chi didn't want to waste time. If nothing unexpected happened, another one would come over soon, and then all the pregnant concubines would come to him one after another.
Instead of comforting them one by one and deciding when to go, it is better to tell them directly. As for how they choose, it all depends on them.
Bai Chi finished speaking in one breath, then took a sip of tea and went back to the desk to continue reading the memorials, letting the virtuous concubine who had not yet recovered from her slumber digest them.
Concubine Xian's face was full of confusion, hatred and resentment, and her heart must have been extremely uneasy.
It took a full stick of incense before he finally seemed to make up his mind.
However, just as she looked up and saw Bai Chi reviewing memorials behind the desk, she suddenly asked.
"Empress, where are your children?"
Bai Chi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Concubine Xian would ask him this, but it didn't seem surprising either. Anyone would be curious.
With a roll of his eyes, Bai Chi raised his head with a smile and looked outside the door.
The virtuous concubine instinctively turned her head and through the reflection on the door, she could clearly see the feared eunuch Mo standing upright outside the gate.
Before she could react, she heard the Queen whisper.
"Otherwise, Concubine Xian, why do you think Eunuch Mo is my man?"
The next second, Concubine Xian's eyes widened, she was even more shocked than when she found out that the person she was sleeping with was not the emperor.
