Because she never intended to stay obediently in a small village.
If you're destined to leave, why leave a child behind?
The child is pitiful, and also a burden to her.
I never expected that after trying so many methods, I would still end up having a child...
Once you find out you're pregnant, it's not so easy to get rid of the child, and you won't have the heart to do it anymore.
More importantly, after giving birth, the Chi family was relieved, thinking that she wouldn't leave for the sake of the child.
That's why it was easy for her to escape.
"I have already spoken to the Chi family. Chi Sihai and that child are never allowed to enter the capital again," Emperor Huiwu said.
Consort Chen slowly rose, looked at the vase that was about to be filled with flowers, and nodded: "It's quite nice."
This is good for her and for the child.
Let's just pretend she's dead.
"Do you really not want to see that child?" Emperor Huiwu couldn't help but ask again.
This question has already been asked once.
When Marquis Ruyang sent Chi Sihai and Wulang over.
Consort Kechen refused.
Now……
"I won't see him. Since I've already decided I don't want him anymore, then I won't see him even once." Consort Chen's eyes were as cold as ice, and the thin curve of her face carried a sharp edge.
Since the decision has been made.
You'll never regret it!
Despite its otherwise harmless appearance, it now seemed to be covered in sharp thorns, and touching it would surely result in bloodshed!
Suddenly, Consort Chen was embraced tightly in a warm embrace.
That cold, sharp side, like ice and snow exposed to the sun, quickly diminished.
"No matter what you choose, I will follow your decision," Emperor Huiwu said.
Something flickered in Consort Chen's eyes. Suddenly, she pushed away the warm embrace and knelt down properly.
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."
Emperor Huiwu's eyes darkened: "Speak."
Consort Chen held her head high, seemingly frail yet unyielding to any storm!
Consort Chen clenched her fists and said, word by word, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to send the thirteenth prince..."
"To be adopted by a prince!"
The maids and eunuchs inside the palace were so frightened that their bodies turned ice-cold and they dared not breathe!
What did they hear?
The Empress actually asked His Majesty to adopt the Thirteenth Prince?
Where can you find a woman willing to give away her only child?
Moreover, given His Majesty's fondness for the thirteenth prince, he may be made crown prince in the future!
"Do you know what you're saying?" Emperor Huiwu roared in fury!
He understood what the Imperial Concubine was thinking!
Can……
"Where do you place me?"
Emperor Huiwu turned and left.
but……
"Your Majesty, His Majesty stayed in the side hall for a while and left with a normal expression," the personal maid immediately reported.
Consort Chen smiled happily, her eyes crinkling.
His Majesty still cares about her.
Even when she was angry, she would consider that if His Majesty left in a fit of rage, people would misunderstand and some would bully her.
Your Majesty... truly cherishes her dearly.
Therefore, there are some things she absolutely cannot allow His Majesty to be in a difficult position.
"Qiuhe, do you think Little Thirteen will hate me when he grows up? Hate me for taking away his right to become the Crown Prince?"
In the vast palace, only the master and servant remained.
Consort Chen patiently painted the portrait.
The little boy in the portrait seems to be the thirteenth prince as he grew up, yet he also seems to be someone else entirely...
"Your Majesty's elaborate plans are all for the sake of His Highness. How could His Highness blame Your Majesty?" Qiu He knelt beside her, grinding ink, her eyes fixed only on the small inkstone.
Some things, even glancing at them is a capital offense.
This is also why Qiuhe was chosen by Consort Chen to be her personal maid from among so many palace maids.
sensible.
That's all.
"Haha." Consort Chen suddenly laughed. She dropped her paintbrush, propped her elbows on the table, rested her cheeks on her hands, and asked with a grin, "Who told you that I did this for Thirteen?"
"Me? I'm only doing this for myself. I'm the person who loves myself the most in the world, and also the most selfish person..."
Consort Chen suddenly snatched the inkstone and splashed it onto the painting.
Everything inside the fence in the painting is covered in black, and you can't see any of its original color.
Consort Chen stood up, her expression gradually turning cold: "Only by having the thirteenth prince adopted out can he never become the crown prince. Only then will those ministers who are attacking me relax."
Because her son could not become the crown prince, and she never interfered in politics.
Only then can those ministers feel at ease.
Only then can she peacefully be the Noble Consort Chen!
Consort Chen, who is showered with love and affection!
Consort Chen strode away without ever looking back!
——
The Yang family.
"Well? What did His Majesty say?" Lord Yang was so anxious that he didn't go to work today.
Madam Yang also prepared tea to clear heat, relieve stress, and calm the mind, and had the Chi family drink it. She also had some snacks served, and then dismissed all the servants.
Besides the Chi family, it was just the couple.
After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
"It should be alright now," Chi Sanhe said, scratching the back of his head. "If His Majesty had any other intentions, he wouldn't have let us come back."
Aunt Chi also replied with a pale face: "Yes, His Majesty only said that Sihai and Wulang are not allowed to come to the capital again, and he didn't say anything else."
Fortunately, Goro didn't like reading.
If this were replaced with a small padlock, wouldn't his career be over for life?
"That's good. I thought so too. You haven't done anything wrong in this matter, and even if His Majesty were to do it for the sake of the Imperial Concubine, he wouldn't make things difficult for you or punish you. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Imperial Concubine?"
