If the imperial concubine is seriously ill, Princess Minghua will definitely have to enter the palace.
After all, she was a child who had been spoiled for so many years, and the emperor and the empress dowager would not have the heart to prevent her from entering the palace to see her biological mother.
Then Princess Minghua had her chance.
Living in His Majesty's bedroom for some time, it was not very convenient for her to do some things.
Xu Lingyi planned to move back into her own palace.
"Your Majesty, I am about to give birth. Can I allow my mother to enter the palace?"
Although Xu Lingyi knew that the emperor would definitely agree, she still pretended to be cautious in her tone to seek his consent.
The emperor nodded gently. "Of course, that's what we planned before, but I've been busy lately and forgot. Tomorrow I'll have your mother come into the palace to take care of you."
Xu Lingyi snuggled into the emperor's arms and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I like you so much."
"Your Majesty, after my mother enters the palace, I want to return to my own bedroom." Xu Lingyi said, looking up at the emperor's expression.
The emperor looked at her belly and felt at ease knowing that he could take care of her all the time by living here.
But in the end the emperor agreed.
Now that she is about to give birth, it is a good thing for Xu Lingyi that Madam Xu enters the palace. With her mother by her side, she always feels more at ease.
"Okay, but when you move back to the harem, you must pay attention to the concubines and try not to be with them. Although I have sent people to protect you, I am also afraid of any unexpected events." Xu Lingyi nodded.
In fact, she was not afraid of assassination, as she had a golden finger. In her heart, she even hoped that the emperor would withdraw these secret guards.
But fortunately, they would not follow her into the hall. They would only hide in the dark and follow her not too far away when she went out.
Only in this way could Xu Lingyi reluctantly accept it.
"I understand, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will protect myself and my son."
After several months, Xu Lingyi returned to her palace again and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
To be honest, the emperor's bedroom is much better equipped than hers, and it is more comfortable to live in.
But when it comes to peace of mind, of course her own residence is still the best.
"Mammy, how is Consort Li doing..." Xu Lingyi asked about the situation.
Aunt Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, your Majesty, everything is going according to plan."
The days of Concubine Li in the cold palace were not easy. Now that the princess had not entered the palace for a long time, the palace people understood that Princess Minghua had lost the favor of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
As the princess's biological mother, Concubine Li has now been deposed. She no longer has the emperor's favor and no status.
Even his only support, Princess Minghua, lost power.
Naturally, she could not receive any special care and was treated just like everyone else in the cold palace.
Even because she had dealt with many concubines who made things difficult for her when she was managing the harem, these people went to the cold palace to add insult to injury.
You can imagine how her life was.
In addition, the conditions in the cold palace were poor. She had lived there for a long time, caught a cold, and fell ill several times. Her physical condition was not as good as before.
While the concubines were mocking Concubine Li, they also brought the news that Xu Lingyi was pregnant.
When she learned that Xu Lingyi, whom she looked down upon, was pregnant, Concubine Li went from being unable to believe it at first to being completely helpless and furious later.
She kept cursing viciously, "How could that bitch get pregnant? How could she possibly get pregnant? I'm the only one in this palace who's lucky enough to give birth to a child. That bitch must be carrying a stillbirth."
Xu Lingyi asked the people serving the deposed concubine to pass on these words to the emperor.
The deposed concubine Li was again punished by the emperor by being slapped in the face and forced to kneel.
"Your Majesty, has he completely forgotten me now? Has he forgotten the warmth we once had? Does he only care about the Xu family now? Why?!"
At this time, Concubine Li still had the emperor in her heart and cared about the emperor's favor.
Xu Lingyi just thought she was stupid, foolish and pitiful.
No, she would not pity her. To pity the enemy would be cruel to herself.
After this incident, Concubine Li not only had physical problems, but also suffered psychological shock.
She used to think that her daughter would be the emperor's only child in this life. After all, the emperor was old. As long as Princess Minghua pleaded for mercy, Xu would lose her favor over time, and considering Princess Minghua, she would definitely be released, and she would definitely be able to leave the cold palace.
But now, she asked herself in her heart, is there still hope for her?
Concubine Li herself was not sure, and the belief that had always supported her collapsed.
Without even asking Xu Lingyi to administer medicine, the imperial concubine fell ill on her own, and her condition was extremely serious.
The emperor and the empress dowager also soon learned the news.
"Is she sick?" the emperor asked the imperial physician.
The imperial physician nodded and said, "Master Li, you've been ill several times before, and now you're feeling depressed. Perhaps you don't have much time left."
The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Although he did not like the concubine's cruelty, she gave birth to a daughter for him after all. He still remembered how happy he and she were when they learned that she was pregnant.
"You can leave now. I understand."
Xu Lingyi was also there. Of course, she couldn't remain indifferent. She took the emperor's hand and comforted him, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The emperor shook his head: "I am fine. She has ended up like this because of her own actions."
Even so, the emperor still called Zhang Zongguan and said, "Send a few more doctors over to take good care of him."
"My beloved, do you think I should go see her?" asked the emperor.
Just now, the palace maid said that Concubine Li kept calling "Your Majesty" and she insisted on seeing His Majesty.
In the past, the emperor would not go to see her, but a night of marriage is worth a hundred days of love, and the imperial concubine is now in a state where no medicine can cure her.
The emperor hesitated.
