The person who came was Si Jinyue who had just given birth.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Luo Kun lying in a pool of blood, motionless, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Si Jinyue's body trembled violently. What happened in Wanfu Palace?
Just now, when she was waiting outside the palace gate, she saw a large number of officers and soldiers surrounding the palace, and it seemed that the two armies were still staring at each other.
Although she had just given birth to a child, she was not stupid.
Si Jinyue was suddenly shocked. Is this... a palace coup?
She had been in solitary confinement recently and had no idea what Qi Nanyue was busy with.
It seems that the prince has joined forces with the Luo family to launch a palace coup...
But, failed?
Si Jinyue's heart sank suddenly. Thinking about the position of queen that she had almost obtained, but it slipped away from her just like that, she felt so regretful and secretly cursed Qi Nanyan for being useless.
The one who succeeds becomes the king and the one who fails becomes the bandit. Qi Nanyue's failure to seize the throne means that her future life will be very difficult.
It is very likely that they will be executed together!
Thinking of this, Si Jinyue, with a pale face, held the child and bowed slightly to Emperor Chongde, saying:
"Greetings, Father. My daughter-in-law has arrived with the young prince."
Emperor Chongde had very few grandchildren, so he was naturally very fond of this newly born grandson.
He was just about to ask Eunuch Zhang to bring the child over for him to take a look.
But suddenly, a figure appeared and pounced towards Si Jinyue.
When everyone looked clearly, they saw that Concubine Luo had already snatched the child from Si Jinyue's hands and was reaching out to pinch the baby's delicate neck!
Si Jinyue just gave birth, how could she have the strength?
When she was snatched away by Concubine Luo, she was pushed to the ground and her body was in great pain!
But when she looked up, she saw that Concubine Luo was actually trying to strangle the little prince she had given birth to with all her effort. She was so scared that she screamed:
"Mother, what are you doing? That's your grandson!"
Ever since Liu Fangzhi got into trouble on the fourth day of the first lunar month, she has been locked up in Cuijing Pavilion and is not allowed to go out.
These days, she has been subjected to bullying and humiliation from Concubine Liu, as well as ridicule and neglect from the servants in the palace.
Now, she has turned her life around thanks to this child!
She struggled to get up from the ground, but she didn't dare to fight with Concubine Luo for it, for fear that the irrational Concubine Luo would really kill her!
Qi Nanyue, who was kneeling in front of Emperor Chongde, was originally happy to see Si Jinyue coming in with the child.
He was also shocked by the sudden scene in front of him. Whether he could stay in Jianzhou City depended entirely on this child!
He quickly stopped her and said, "Mother, let go of the child. That is my son's first child!"
Emperor Chongde looked at Concubine Luo with a sullen face and said:
"Luo, what are you going to do?"
When Concubine Luo heard the emperor's address to her, the anger in her eyes was instantly ignited!
She looked at Emperor Chongde with a ferocious look on her face and roared:
"Let me let this child go, okay!
You should draft an edict right now, making Yan'er the crown prince and letting him inherit the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Si Jinxing, who was standing beside Qi Moli, couldn't help but laugh out loud and said:
"Is the Imperial Concubine drunk?
The Crown Prince's Mansion has a young prince, and Prince Heng's Mansion also has a young prince. She is using her own son's child to threaten the emperor?
It’s really ridiculous!”
Qi Moli said at the right time:
"Xing'er, tell me, is this child really the third child's? Why doesn't it look like him to me?"
Si Jinxing pretended to glance at the child, shook her head and said:
"It really doesn't look like them. Prince Rui has fair skin, and this child...
Maybe it's just been born and hasn't grown up yet?"
The two of them were talking in low voices as if no one was around, but everyone in the hall heard every word they said.
Si Jinyue was completely terrified. She stiffened her neck and looked in the direction of the sound, but when she saw the look in the eyes of her second sister, she immediately looked away in horror.
She felt her heart beating like a drum, as if it was about to jump out of her chest!
Si Jinyue forced herself to calm down. Qi Moli and Si Jinxing just happened to say this.
She comforted herself in this way, but Qi Nanyue was already suspicious, and he heard that the baby did not look like him.
His face suddenly darkened, he stood up, walked up to Concubine Luo, and shouted angrily:
"You better stop it! Do you think this isn't a big enough incident?
Give me the baby!"
His roar frightened Concubine Luo so much that she dared not say a word, and she took the child away.
He was very strong and had never held a child before, so he might have hurt the sleeping baby.
The child in his arms burst into tears, crying until he was out of breath, but still refused to stop!
Qi Nanyue didn't care and looked at the child carefully, which scared Si Jinyue so much that she couldn't even breathe.
This child has dark skin, indeed not as fair as Qi Nanyue's.
She couldn't help but feel nervous, but she didn't dare to speak up to excuse herself.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongde could not bear the child's crying and stopped him in time, saying:
"What are you doing? How old is he?
It’s only been born for less than a day, so naturally it’s dark and wrinkled. What can you tell?
Quickly return the child to...your wife."
But at this moment, the Queen, who had been standing beside the Queen Mother and remained silent, said unhappily:
"Your Majesty, you know that this child was only born an hour ago.
To put it bluntly, it's just a thing, not even a human being!
You feel sorry for this child, but don't forget that he went to the Prince's Mansion to seize the Imperial Seal!
During this period, it is possible that Yuan'er and Heng'er were attacked!
They say a son resembles his father. If his father could do such a rebellious thing, then the child must not be a good person either!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Nanyuan walked to the Queen, patted her shoulder, and comforted her:
"Mother, I am sorry to have made you worried."
When the Queen heard this, she reached out and hugged Qi Nanyuan, sobbing:
"Why should we spare the life of this heartless man? He and the entire Luo family should be beheaded!
Just a child can save his life?
Your Majesty, even if you spare his life, you can't let him stay in Jianzhou City, right?!"
Emperor Chongde naturally knew that the crime of treason should be punished by beheading.
But, after all, Qi Nanyan is his son...
He could break Qi Nanche's legs, but he never thought of taking his son's life.
After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
Emperor Chongde waved his hand and said:
"Just tell them to stay in Prince Rui's mansion for the rest of their lives."
Qi Nanyue handed the child to Si Jinyue's arms. Seeing her gently patting the child who was like a kitten, a feeling he had never experienced before flowed through his heart.
He finally has his own child!
Only then did he remember to care about Si Jinyue and asked:
"You just gave birth to a child, why are you coming to the palace?"
Si Jinyue was slightly startled and said, "Didn't the prince send someone to invite me here?"
