At this moment, Ye Jinyun had almost calmed down about the fact that his daughter was almost killed.
Especially after hearing Cui Ya say that Yuanjia was not Mo Qiyuan's child, he felt a little sympathy for Concubine Qi.
Ye Jinyun knew very well why Concubine Qi would harm her daughter. Since she only attacked her daughter and spared her two sons, she understood what she was thinking.
It's simply that they feel that after having Xier, Yuanjia has no status in the palace. Moreover, as a daughter, Xier is more favored by Mo Qiyuan and the Queen Mother than Yuanjia or even her two brothers.
So this was intolerable for Concubine Qi, so she only targeted her own daughter.
It was precisely because of Concubine Qi's love for Yuanjia that Ye Jinyun analyzed that Concubine Qi herself might not know that Yuanjia was not Mo Qiyuan's child.
Otherwise, she shouldn't mind whether Mo Qiyuan loves Yuanjia or not. After all, she should feel very guilty.
After a while, Concubine Qi came over.
So Ye Jinyun took Cui Ya to the main hall.
Inside the palace, Concubine Qi was standing waiting. Seeing Ye Jinyun coming over, she bowed and asked softly:
"I wonder why the Empress has asked me to come here? The Empress Dowager has told me..."
Ye Jinyun didn't want to beat around the bush and interrupted her directly: "Concubine Qi, stop pretending. I already know that you asked the wet nurse to harm Xier."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi stopped what she was about to say and looked at Ye Jinyun calmly. Then she glanced at Cui Ya beside her: "Oh, it didn't work. The girl should have been rescued."
Seeing that she was so outspoken about harming her daughter, Ye Jinyun's suppressed anger began to rise again.
"Xi'er is only a little over a month old, and you could do such a cruel thing to her. You are also a mother of a child. Doesn't your conscience hurt you for doing this?"
Concubine Qi sneered, her eyes full of indifference.
"Does your conscience hurt? What do you think, Ye Jinyun? You and your child monopolize the emperor every day, making Jia'er unable to get the emperor's love. How can your conscience not hurt? Moreover, you also said that I am also a mother of a child, so naturally I have to make plans for my child. As long as your daughter is gone, won't my daughter be loved by her father even more?"
"Concubine Qi, why do you think so? I have always advised the emperor to love Yuanjia more. Why do you want to harm my daughter?"
"Why? Because they are all the emperor's children, all his daughters. Why should he treat them so differently? Why?"
Concubine Qi screamed hysterically, her heart filled with resentment. All the years of forbearance seemed to be venting out at this moment.
Ye Jinyun was silent for a moment after hearing this, but then she said, "I don't want to argue with you about this. After all, you are doing this for Yuanjia, but... do you know that Yuanjia... is not the emperor's child?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Ye Jinyun, I harmed your daughter, come at me if you want to kill me! Don't slander my child's bloodline!"
Concubine Qi pointed at Ye Jinyun and spoke angrily, as if she disagreed with what she said.
However, the maidservant following Concubine Qi suddenly changed her expression after hearing Ye Jinyun's words. She quickly pulled Concubine Qi and whispered something in her ear.
Then Concubine Qi stopped and looked at her in surprise. After a moment of stunned silence, she seemed to suddenly remember something, took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Ye Jinyun looked at what the maidservant following Concubine Qi said to her. Concubine Qi seemed to have lost her soul, and she understood what the maidservant should know.
She knew this maid, who was the one who served Concubine Qi personally. When Concubine Xian and the Concubine sisters plotted to murder her at the Mid-Autumn Banquet, this maid escaped because she left temporarily to help Yuan Jia get clothes. Otherwise, she would have been burned to death.
I didn't expect that she actually knew that Yuanjia was not Mo Qiyuan's bloodline. It was really interesting. If she had died in the fire that day, Concubine Qi would never believe it today.
However, Ye Jinyun didn't want to provoke Concubine Qi anymore. She had done something that harmed her daughter. She originally wanted Mo Qiyuan to punish her, but now she didn't want to do that anymore.
What could be more cruel than suddenly finding out that her child is not her husband's blood?
Just by looking at Concubine Qi's reaction and the maid's expression, Ye Jinyun could guess that Concubine Qi definitely didn't have an affair with anyone to give birth to Yuan Jia. Maybe she was defiled by someone, but Concubine Qi herself didn't know it...
In this era, being forcibly defiled is probably the most unbearable thing for a woman with ancient thinking...
Speaking of this, Ye Jinyun recalled the two times when Helian Rongxia's beastly nature was unleashed in the Beirong Palace. She wondered what would happen to her if she had really been defiled by him at that time.
But then Ye Jinyun thought it through. She didn't have the same thoughts as those ancient women. If she was really slept with by Helian Rongxia, she would not seek death.
She had died once, so naturally she cherished her life. If Mo Qiyuan despised her because of this, she would fake her death and live the rest of her life in hiding.
Ye Jinyun came back to her senses and saw that Concubine Qi looked dazed. She didn't intend to say anything more, so she waved her hand and asked her maid to help her back.
Concubine Qi didn't know how she got back. After hearing Zhuque say to her, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that night?", she felt like she had lost her soul.
After being helped back to the house by Suzaku, she finally regained consciousness and turned to look at Suzaku blankly:
"Suzaku, that night, what exactly happened that night?"
…
Ye Jinyun never told Mo Qiyuan that her daughter was almost murdered by Concubine Qi.
She knew that based on Concubine Qi's personality, she would take the initiative to come to her after finding out about Yuanjia's bloodline problem.
But she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was bad news.
That day, after Ye Jinyun drank the medicine and breastfed her daughter, she was asking Cui Ya to check if she had fully recovered when she saw Xiao Quanzi rushing in:
"Your Majesty, someone came from Concubine Qi's palace and said that Concubine Qi committed suicide."
Ye Jinyun opened his mouth wide when he heard this, "What?"
She didn't expect that Concubine Qi would actually commit suicide. She thought she would consider Yuan Jia and would not commit suicide easily.
So Ye Jinyun hurriedly took Cui Ya to Concubine Qi's bedroom.
After entering Concubine Qi's bedroom, Ye Jinyun saw Yuan Jia crying loudly beside her:
"Mother, mother, wake up, Jia'er will be obedient, Jia'er will never make mother angry again, mother, please get up quickly, don't sleep anymore, mother..."
Seeing this scene, Ye Jinyun's heart ached and her eyes turned red in an instant. She quickly walked to the bed and saw that Concubine Qi's face had turned pale and there was a deep mark on her neck.
Ye Jinyun quickly asked Cui Ya to see if she could still be rescued, but saw Cui Ya came forward to check and shook his head at him.
Concubine Qi hanged herself.
Ye Jinyun looked a little dazed.
Concubine Qi, was she the one who killed her? If she hadn't told her that Yuan Jia wasn't Mo Qiyuan's bloodline, would she have chosen to commit suicide like this?
But she hurt her own daughter, and she did nothing wrong.
