Madam Wei knelt down in front of Madam Gu and said, "Sister, I won't live long. The Wei family has become what it is now. I am truly ashamed to see our ancestors. I cannot let the Duke's bloodline end with Qian'er! Please, sister, you are the only one who can save Qian'er and continue your brother's incense."
Madam Gu sighed and said, "Your Highness has already shown mercy and given Wei Qian a year to sire an heir. He is unable to do so, and I can no longer persuade him."
Madam Wei collapsed on the ground. Madam Gu hurriedly helped her up and told the maid beside her, "Go and call Jingyu and the eldest princess!"
After Gu Yan in the inner room handed the child to the wet nurse, he went outside and took Madam Wei's pulse, then frowned slightly.
Yun Xiangye also gave the child to the wet nurse and walked out. She saw that Madam Wei's face looked very bad. She thought that the successive blows were really severe.
Gu Jingyu's courtyard was right next to Madam Wei. She happened to be there today. After hurriedly coming over to take Madam Wei's pulse and give her acupuncture, she also shook her head.
Madam Gu asked the Wei family servants to carry Madam Wei back to the Wei family. She looked at Gu Jingyu and said, "How many days do you have left for your great-aunt?"
Gu Jingyu said: "I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days."
Madam Gu sighed and said, "Alas."
Madam Wei was paralyzed at the Gu family, so Mrs. Gu had to go to the Wei family at least.
Gu Yan left the army and rushed back, although he had obtained the promise of His Majesty and His Highness, but after all, this was against the rules, so he could not leave the Princess's Mansion and let outsiders know that he had returned.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu accompanied Mrs. Gu to the Wei family.
In the Wei family, Mrs. Wei Yan became crazy after losing her daughter. She often mistook the maid around her for Wei Xi, and kept telling Wei Xi that she was of noble status. Wei Xi had the queen as her aunt, and should be the most noble lady among the aristocratic families in Chang'an.
Yun Xiangye glanced at the crazy Yan and sighed slightly. As a mother, Yun Xiangye felt sympathy for Yan, but she also felt that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Until her death, Wei Xi wanted to alienate her and Gu Yan, not knowing that she came from such a noble family and was well-educated. If Yan Shi had not treated Wei Xi like others and had taught her well, how could she have fallen to this point?
Xu Mengqi is much more arrogant than Wei Xi, but although Xu Mengqi likes to compare herself with others, she has never had any bad thoughts. I think this is inseparable from the education of her mother, Madam Xu.
Unlike Wei Yu, it is already distorted.
But I think Yan also loved her daughter deeply, otherwise why would she be so crazy and sad after Wei Xi left?
Madam Wei didn't have much time left. The imperial doctors came twice, and Xie Zhixuan also brought doctors from Renyuan Pharmacy to take Madam Wei's pulse, but they were all powerless to save Madam Wei.
That night, when Yun Xiangye was still accompanying Madam Gu, she saw the Empress, His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming in disguise.
Queen Wei walked up to Madam Wei's bed and said, "Mother."
Madam Wei whispered, "You had a difficult birth when giving birth to Yun'er, but I brought my concubine's daughter with me. I really treated you unfairly, but I had no choice at the time. You are my daughter, and mother loves you, but the future of the Duke of Wei's mansion is more important."
Queen Wei said, "Mother, please don't talk about this. I'm a grandmother now, and Yun'er has a child."
Madam Wei said, "This is a knot between you and me. I want to say something, and more... and more... It's really hard for me to say it, but I still want to ask you to leave a biological bloodline for Zhan'er and your brother. Madam, I beg you..."
His Majesty said from the side: "Besides Wei Qian, Wei Zhan has other biological relatives."
Wei Zhan, who was standing aside, looked at His Majesty.
His Majesty looked at Gu Ling again and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Ling said to Wei Zhan, "I originally promised Qingyue that I would never tell anyone about this. But today, my aunt is dying. To prevent her from having any regrets, I'll break my promise and tell you. You have a biological son, Taoist Qingxuan from Qilin Temple."
Yun Xiangye was shocked when she heard Prince Ning say this news. It turned out to be Taoist Qingxuan?
Speaking of which, Yun Xiangye had actually forgotten about Fu Anran. Members of the Fu family were all convicted, but the women and side branches escaped. Fu Anran's father did not participate too much in it, but he was also implicated. He was dismissed from his post and sentenced to two years in prison. The Fu family was no longer allowed to enter the court.
Yun Xiangye heard from Fu Qianran that Fu Anran's mother opened a spice shop in Chang'an City, so she could make a living.
Fu Qianran's mother also died early, and her second aunt helped her a lot. Fu Qianran also saved her second uncle's family, but she never heard her mention Fu Anran coming.
A lot of things happened in the past year. Yun Xiangye also gave birth to two children. The embroidery workshop has become famous, so she no longer needs Fu Anran to dress her like before.
I wonder if Fu Anran is still in the Taoist temple.
Wei Zhan frowned slightly and asked, "Did she give birth to the child?"
Gu Ling said, "Yes, when the Yan family administered the abortion drug, the pregnancy was already seven months old. The child was alive when it was aborted."
Queen Wei was confused and asked, "How could there be another child? And what about the Yan family giving her abortion pills?"
Wei Zhan explained, "At that time, I had been married to Yan for two years. After Yan's first miscarriage, she had no children. The doctor the Yan family hired said that Yan would have difficulty giving birth. So Yan found Qingyue, a Taoist nun in Qilin Temple, and wanted her to give birth to a child of my bloodline as her own.
I did not agree to this at the time, but Yan was afraid that I would divorce her or take a concubine, so she drugged me and Qingyue became pregnant with my child.
But unexpectedly, Yan also got pregnant a few days later. I had thought that the two children could be born as twins, but I never expected that when Qingyue was seven months pregnant, the Yan family found out that Yan and she were both pregnant with boys, so they gave Qingyue an abortion drug and sent her back to Qilin Temple.
I gave Qingyue a sum of money at the time, and it was me and Yan who were sorry for her...but I didn't expect that after Qingyue took the abortion pill, the child was still alive."
Yan walked up to Gu Jingyu frantically and said, "The child is still alive, Mei'er, are you still alive?"
Gu Jingyu whispered, "Aunt, I'm Jingyu, not Cousin Wei Xi."
"My dear...my dear..."
Yan was crying like crazy.
Yun Xiangye had no sympathy for Yan at this moment. Yan asked a Taoist nun in the Taoist temple to give birth to a child for her. However, when it was confirmed that the fetus was a boy and the pregnancy was stable, she gave the poor girl, who had no choice, abortion drugs when she was seven months pregnant. What was the meaning of this as murder?
Isn’t the current situation of the Yan family a kind of retribution?
Wei Zhan glanced at Yan Shi with a complicated expression and said, "Take her away and lock her up in the courtyard where the eldest lady once lived. Let her live out her days there and never leave the courtyard again."
Madam Wei looked at Wei Zhan and said, "You...you go and bring...my grandson back. I want to see what he looks like..."
