Ye Jinyun really didn't blame them. Before she saw the substitute, she was a little confused as to why the two of them couldn't recognize her even though they were so familiar with her.
But when Ye Jinyun saw the substitute with her own eyes, she realized that it was not their fault that they could not recognize him. It would be the same if it were her.
They really looked so similar that Ye Jinyun felt like he was looking in a mirror when he looked at her.
Every detail of her body was reproduced to the extreme by Helian Rongxia, whether it was her figure, tone of voice, movements and even her fragrance, they were almost exactly the same as hers, not to mention the human skin mask that was a one-to-one replica of hers.
Ye Jinyun almost suspected that Helian Rongxia had imprinted the mold directly on her face while she was sleeping.
She never knew that Helian Rongxia knew her so well. However, in just over a month, he had memorized some of her daily habits and could even guide others to do them. Did he really not install surveillance on her?
Ye Jinyun recalled the last words he asked the substitute in the woodshed that day.
She asked what would have happened according to Helian Rongxia's plan if she hadn't revealed her true colors so quickly.
Ye Jinyun knew that no matter how much this substitute looked like herself, the two would eventually see through her. She couldn't stay away from people all her life, and she would eventually be exposed.
The substitute said that Helian Rongxia originally planned to let her return to Da Qi in place of Ye Jinyun, and create an accidental death without being discovered. Then, the Queen of Da Qi, Ye Jinyun, would no longer exist in this world, and Helian Rongxia could naturally keep her by his side.
Once it is exposed, Mo Qiyuan will be poisoned. If the poison is not removed within three months, the person who is poisoned will die. If Mo Qiyuan dies, no one will go to Beirong to forcibly take Ye Jinyun back.
In either case, Helian Rongxia wins.
But he never expected that after he had set up such an ingenious plan in front, Yu Ji would stab him in the back, so that Ye Jinyun escaped from his hands.
…
After Mo Qiyuan woke up, he wanted to hold Ye Jinyun tightly, but when he saw that her face was not looking good, he found that she was injured.
When I asked, I found out that she was actually hit by an arrow. I was shocked and scared, but more importantly, I felt deeply guilty.
Ye Jinyun naturally tried to comfort him again. Finally, the child woke up and was held by Lin Qingtang, which eased his mood.
As a result, his complexion, which had just improved slightly, became even more remorseful when he heard that Ye Jinyun was pregnant again, and had escaped from Beirong with her child, and had removed the poison from him.
Therefore, he stayed by Ye Jinyun's side all day long and took care of her personally, even more attentive than the maids in the general's mansion.
A few days later, Ye Jinyun recovered completely, but she still stayed in bed to rest.
Although she and Cui Ya both knew that she had recovered, she was seriously injured at the time and many people had witnessed it. It was a miracle that she was able to come back alive. If she recovered so quickly, she would really be regarded as a monster if the news got out.
…
After recuperating in Mingzhou City for a month, Mo Qiyuan saw that Ye Jinyun had recovered as before, so he decided to return to Beijing. At the same time, the army led by Lin Dingyao also returned to the capital.
Because one day during this journey, the Northern Rong suddenly sent an envoy.
After confirming that Ye Jinyun was still alive, the envoy presented the letter of surrender drafted by Helian Rongxia.
He also brought Helian Rongxia's words to Mo Qiyuan, saying that as long as he was in power, Beirong would never invade the territory of Da Qi again and would pay tribute to Da Qi every year. He hoped that the two countries could be friendly neighbors in the future.
After hearing this, Mo Qiyuan immediately wanted to tear up his letter of surrender. He pretended to return Yun'er, but in fact he wanted to take her for himself. Did he really not know what he was thinking?
But after hearing these words, Ye Jinyun thought of Xiaoya's family and the women, children and young people in their village.
There are countless ordinary people in this world who are like them, suffering from the hardships brought by war for years, so they persuaded Mo Qiyuan to accept it.
Now that she has returned to Da Qi, the secret passage secretly dug by Bei Rong has been destroyed. Any action he wants to take in the future will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. So there is no need to start another war and let the people suffer.
…
A month later, Mo Qiyuan finally arrived at the palace with Ye Jinyun and her son, and the incident of Ye Jinyun being abducted by the Northern Rong spies finally came to an end.
After returning to the palace, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Mo Qiyuan asked Ye Jinyun to move out of Qingyue Palace in advance and live in Fengyi Palace, the queen's residence. This way, he would be closer to him, and he would feel more at ease even if he was not by her side.
Moreover, because Ye Jinyun was in danger this time, the idea that Mo Qiyuan already had in his mind became even more determined.
He wanted to dismiss all the concubines in the harem.
So on the first morning court session after he returned to the palace, he proposed to dismiss all the concubines in the harem, except those with children.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court. The ministers all said that this move was inappropriate, and the whole court was filled with opposition.
If the previous dynasty was like this, the harem was naturally not much better. The concubines could no longer sit still, and for a while, each of the three palaces and six courtyards had their own thoughts.
…
The queen is pregnant again, with twins.
This news spread throughout the capital when Ye Jinyun returned to the palace with a bulging belly.
I thought it was a great honor for the queen to give birth to the eldest prince for the first time, but I didn't expect that after being taken out of the palace, she became pregnant again, and with twins. Is this really the emperor's bloodline?
"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to dismiss the concubines from the harem. Favoring the Empress alone will cause unrest in the court. Please reconsider."
At the morning court session, a censor made a comment, and several officials beside him had made the same statement.
Mo Qiyuan sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below with a sullen face and narrowed eyes.
For three days, whenever he mentioned the matter, they would object.
How could he not know what these old guys were thinking? Although there were people among them who gave sincere advice, there were more officials who had daughters in the harem. They prevented him from dismissing the concubines because they were afraid that their family would lose support in the harem.
"My dear ministers, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind to disband the harem. Please do not try to stop me."
Hearing this, the officials who had made suggestions looked at each other.
Then one of them glanced at another official, who gave him a reassuring look in return. The next moment, he stepped forward, saluted Mo Qiyuan, and said,
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
Mo Qiyuan frowned and looked at him, "What else do you want to report, Liu Zhongcheng?"
"Your Majesty, you decided to disband the harem for the Empress, but I have recently heard rumors among the people that the Empress had an affair with the Northern Rong King Helian Rongxia, and that she returned to the palace pregnant. I am afraid that the fetus in her belly is not your blood.
If this rumor is true, I, the Queen of Great Qi, absolutely cannot allow such a woman of such filthy behavior to do this. Moreover, the Emperor would have to dismiss the concubines for her, which would only lead to public criticism."
Liu Zhongcheng said tremblingly that he could already foresee how angry the emperor would be, but he had to speak because he was entrusted by someone.
